More than a year after Esporta Fitness abruptly shut its doors in Morgan Park, a new gym is expected to take its place later this year. A UFC Gym will take over the current vacant site, which sits inside Marshfield Plaza at 11520 S. Marshfield Avenue.“This UFC GYM is more than just a fitness center—it’s a victory for community voice and shared purpose,” Ald. Ronnie Mosley (21st Ward) said in a press release announcing the news. “We are restoring access to wellness, creating jobs, and proving that our neighborhoods are worthy of world-class investment.”The gym is expected to open in the fall of 2025
