Submit Gear and Gold's Gym Bridge the Gap between Bodybuilding and Mixed Martial Arts

Gold's Gym, Training Ground, and Submit Gear Inc. are working together to create a training facility like no other.

The first of five Gold's Gym locations will be re-opening in October located at 2440 Cawthra Rd. in Mississauga. The new 45,000 sq. ft. facility will be introducing mixed martial arts classes consisting of Muay Thai, Boxing and Jiu Jitsu and will be managed by Kru Gerald Ching of "Training Ground" . The gym will have a designated martial arts area consisting of a full size boxing ring, octagon, and floor space for classes.

There are more people training today in martial arts than ever before. With today's tough competition, one of the key aspects to becoming a successful mixed martial arts fighter is impeccable physical conditioning.

"It makes perfect sense to offer weightlifting, cardio, and martial arts all under one roof" says Joe de Barros, president of Gold's Gym.

Other features of the new location include: indoor basketball court, indoor beach volleyball (instructed by Canadian Olympic Team member Kara Zakrzewski), juice bar, hairdresser, esthetician, child playroom, personal training, nutrition counselling, and a pro shop.

Gold's Gym will also be the first Canadian distributor of Submit Gear fight apparel, an online Mississauga-based clothing company (www.SubmitGear.com) which sells athletic apparel for fighters and fans. "We've just recently introduced our wholesale program, and to have Gold's Gym as our first Canadian distributor in my hometown is very exciting" says Mark Chiappino, owner of Submit Gear Inc.
