What Team Quest MMA & FItness does

Team Quest MMA & Fitness is a privately held martial arts training gym headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2000 by Olympic silver medalist Matt Lindland and UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture. Operating from a 10,000 square foot facility, the company delivers in-person instruction across multiple combat disciplines — Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, Submission Wrestling, and Sambo — to members ranging from age 5 to 65. The company differentiates its programming by age cohort (Kids Martial Arts for ages 6-11, T.U.F.F. Teen MMA for ages 12-17, and adult programs) and maintains a proprietary TQIC (Team Quest Instructor's Course) three-year coach development program to ensure instructional consistency.

The business operates on a subscription-based revenue model with monthly memberships priced at $169 for a single discipline, $189 for unlimited training across all disciplines, and $249 for month-to-month flexibility, with discount incentives for 6-month ($999) and 12-month ($1,799) prepay commitments. Secondary revenue streams include private lessons, FitQuest combat fitness classes, and seasonal teen summer camps ($249 for four-day programs). The company also operates a licensing arm that has extended the Team Quest brand to affiliated locations in California, Thailand, and Australia. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer through the physical facility, supported by a website, Instagram presence, community events, word-of-mouth referrals, and a 7-day free trial offer.
