DEEP Executive Office has announced that the organization will open their own official gym.


The DEEP Executive Office, led by DEEP President and PRIDE Public Relations Director and Bushido matchmaker Shigeru Saeki, has announced that they will open an official training gym. The gym, presently dubbed DEEP GYM Impact, will open on June 8th in North Shinjuku, Tokyo. The gym will run from Monday to Friday, with extended hours on Saturdays. The gym will be closed on Sundays, holidays, and on the days of DEEP events.


The gym offers resources for those who simply want to achieve fitness, as well as those who strongly wish to pursue a career in mixed martial arts. Accordingly, the gym will offer yoga and aerobic boxing, along with traditional boxing, kickboxing, jiu jitsu and mixed martial arts classes.


The classes at DEEP GYM Impact will be taught by a variety of instructors, including five familiar DEEP faces. Among the instructors are PRIDE Bushido regular and DEEP Middleweight Champion Ryo Chonan, leglock master and DEEP Featherweight Champion "The Ashikan Judan" Masakazu Imanari, RINGS veteran and DEEP regular Yasuhito Namekawa, Smackgirl Lightweight Champion and sambo queen Satoko Shinashi, and 2003 DEEP Lightweight Future King Isamu Sugiuchi.
