Threadmill and a great message
Karina C.

I love this gym! At first I honestly thought, "What am I even going to do here?" lol but I've been pleasantly surprised. I've taken Zumba, Glute Lab, and several HIIT classes, and I recommend them all. I've also started using the treadmill, which I used to avoid because I thought I hated it but it turns out I just didn't know how to use it. At UFC, the treadmills are super easy and comfortable to use. I also really enjoy the sauna (love it!) and I've recently started swimming in the pool. The recovery room is amazing and such a great bonus. Most of the coaches are really good. There was one instructor in a weekday HIIT class who felt a bit unprepared and the class wasn't very engaging, but Kiara's Saturday HIIT class is fantastic I absolutely love it. The gym is huge, has so many options, and for the price it's honestly a great value. I don't understand why it doesn't have 5 stars it really offers everything you need at an affordable membership.

I'm a frequent UFC gym go-er and I always recommend UFC to everyone but I cannot recommend this location for now. I've been to this location back to back since grand opening so this isnt even a review based on a one time visit. I understand this location just opened up but I wouldve hoped management invested in staff to keep this location nice and operational. My standards are set high from Rosemead location and this location fails short for a few reasons. Sanitation station are limited and lack solution. Even in the past 2 days I've been coming consecutively, the sanitation spray is empty or there are no bottles. Also there are lack of trash bins. Overall cleanliness. I understand theyre still less than a month from grand opening but theres still ton of equipment, boxes, etc laying around. The restrooms in the past 2 days has not had soap in the dispenser. They have the pump dispenser mounts and the ones on the counter and only the mount has been having soap yet the past 2 days, there has not been soap replaced. I noticed the same pieces of trash in the locker room like nobody is taking maintenance to sweep in there. The lowest floor by the stairs and weight area has a urine odor (I know cause I work at a hospital). In general, construction for this location is not fully complete so some areas are still blocked off. Staff is also non existent at the entrance but also no form of greeting. Parking is bad during peak hours but thats not their fault. The lot is just small. This is all just in comparison to Rosemead location. I only chose to come here cause its closer to home and theres more variety of equipments/machines. I only hope to provide this feedback so there is improvements in the future.

I had a weird moment were I was stretching and I had barely finished... there was so much space for this trainer to do her workout with her client and she began training her client with an elastic band right over my head while I was putting my stuff away. She had ZERO spacial awareness and it was just very rude of her to not even let me know that she maybe needed that spot but other than that the people who workout there are far more kind.

I am really trying to give this location a chance but it's becoming a lot harder at this point. Might have to just drive out to Rosemead. The bathrooms are nasty. I come by around 4am and I had the janitor GUY walk into the locker room as I was in my towel and gotten out the shower, and even though he saw me, he STILL STAYED changing the trash bag, also, since when do yall allow us to be shirtless? So clothing is optional? This ufc gym started out strong but losing it already just a couple months in. Btw the guy in the pic was super obnoxious, he was "training" someone and being so loud and intrusive of other people's personal space at the treadmill's. If I wanted to be part of your "personal training" I would join bro. Take all that testosterone somewhere else so extra with it.

Striking room

I signed up as a founding member of the gym back in August, so I was super excited for the grand opening today, Jan 31. It's 3 levels with a full octagon, cardio, group classes, recovery, free weights, a pool (under construction), jiujitsu and striking room... it just doesn't end! Tons of staff and everything is brand spanking new. The one thing I'll be carefully watching is the cleanliness and upkeep of the gym. The UFC is a very respected brand and I hope they keep those standards in the maintenance of this gym. It would be a shame if it went the way of dirty LA Fitness / 24 Fitness. Fingers crossed it stays clean! The sign up special is $29/month with $1 down, no first and last month. That's crazy! Tell them Navin W referred you and they'll throw in some freebies.

Well.... Don't let the bad reviews deter you away. 1. Yes the music is loud, but you can just wear headphones. 2. Yes, parking is bad on peak hours, but the walk from other parking areas are less than 2 min if that. aaaannnnnd you add more steps to your day. 3. The culture is awesome, not only from the employees, but from the people working out inside. 4. Classes are fun, take advantage of the knowledge from awesome instructors. 5. Recovery room, sooooo worth, a little pricier, but worth it for my old man bones. 6. Restrooms/Cleanliness can be just a bit better, but let's be real, THEY JUST OPENED, give it some time to grow into the perfect home. 7. Putting weights back seems to be the talk of the town, but hey I do my part and really that's all that matters. Be the change you want to see and maybe you'll inspire someone to not be a turd. 8. I think I'm done here so I'll close it off... We have a chance to give our input and they have answered some concerns in a short amount of time. They are working with us, so be patient and yes voice it out. I know they will definitely not let this flop. I have lived out here for more than 10 years and there hasn't been a gym that has came this close to perfect. Anyways! Much love and hope this message finds the right person. Bests, Holden Rodi.

Literally the next day after taking the first pictures. The restroom was left exactly the same and this time no toilet paper.. 07/07/2026

I've trained at several UFC Gym locations, so I'm comparing this gym to the standard I've experienced at other locations--not to an unrealistic expectation. For the monthly membership fee, I expect a clean, organized, and well-maintained facility. Unfortunately, this location consistently falls short. The restrooms should be kept spotless. Equipment should be readily available, and the gym should be properly stocked with basic workout necessities. This location doesn't even have exercise mats, which are a fundamental piece of equipment for many workouts. On top of that, the dumbbells are often locked inside the classroom, limiting members' access to equipment during workouts. Another ongoing issue is cleanliness. I've noticed ants in the classroom on multiple occasions, which is concerning in a fitness facility. There also seems to be a lack of attention to keeping the sanitizing paper towel stations stocked, making it difficult for members to wipe down equipment after use. I also pay for a children's membership, and that experience has been equally disappointing. I've been able to observe many of the classes firsthand. Unfortunately, the classes often become chaotic, and the instructors don't seem to establish or maintain control of the group. I've also noticed that incorrect technique frequently goes uncorrected, which is concerning in a sport where proper form is important for both learning and safety. Considering that the children's membership is not inexpensive, I expected a much higher level of structure, instruction, and coaching. I also want to acknowledge that I've had consistently positive experiences with the front desk staff. They've always been friendly and welcoming. However, my experience after joining has been different when it comes to membership sales. There seems to be a strong focus on upgrading memberships, and those interactions haven't felt nearly as welcoming. What makes this especially disappointing is that I've trained at other UFC Gym locations that were consistently clean, organized, fully equipped, and well-managed. I know the brand is capable of providing a much better experience. I'm leaving this review in the hope that management takes these concerns seriously. Members are paying a premium membership, and the condition of this location should reflect that.

The space he cultivates here isn't your run of the mill martial arts gym. It's an encouraging, collaborative, and welcoming learning environment where Coach takes time to focus on and refine technical skill, depth of knowledge, and rhythm. I recall in particular how Coach Joe took the time to fix my middle kick in a way that really clicked. He takes special care and attention to help you learn not only the proper form of a move but also the why behind it. Once you have it, it's impossible to forget. If he takes the time to help you correct something, just know that he believes in your capacity for growth and improvement. He is a wellspring of expertise. This learning environment is also reinforced by the athletes and experienced students who I've had the pleasure of training with. Through drills and sparring, everyone works to support each other and reinforce our learning. What you get here is not just an education; it's also a didactic community. I can't recommend this gym enough.

The coaches have actual experience and teach you based on your level of skill. Just starting? You will learn the proper way to box, from footwork, head movement, proper punches and functional combos. Have some experience? Carlos, Raul and Joey will build on what you have and add to your arsenal with experience hard earned in the ring. You truly get what you put into this gym, work hard and you will gain so much. With a more open gym type format, you will receive more one on one time with coaches and skill work tailored to your abilities. No classes to rush to with generalized instructions. Conditioning work is provided on top of the amazing workout that heavy bag work provides. Mitt work from coaches and technical sparring are definite highlights of a workout, while observant coaches and teammates are always happy to provide pointers and help when you need it. Gym is no frills type environment, professional boxing ring, five heavy bags of various sizes and shapes, one aqua bag, two double end bags, maize bag, cobra bag, and two speed bags. Jump ropes and conditioning equipment are available as well as loaner gloves. They have a full shop of well-priced equipment including gloves, hand wraps, protective equipment and mouthguards. One on premise bathroom and plenty of street parking (street sweeping on Thursdays). Great mix of gym goers including young professionals, seasoned veterans, college students and a lot of kids with their parents.

The classes are very fun and beginner friendly yet challenging. Each coach has their own style of teaching and will go through different combo exercises and conditioning workout. The coaches adjust the level of difficulty based on the level of students that show up for that specific class. Regardless what the level of student, each class will guarantee an amazing workout that pushes the mind(learning different boxing skills) and the body. The gym is very clean and has a small free weights section attached to it. Not only can one improve his/her boxing skill, one can lift weights and get stronger and fitter as well. All coaches are very qualified. Some have been boxing for decades and some are pro fighters. I have taken some private classes. I had nothing but amazing sessions. The price is very reasonable as well. $150 for basic gym membership which includes all classes and all access to the entire gym. $250 is the next level up which is what I have. It includes two 1hr private sessions per months which is easily $200 plus at other boxing gyms. Also, a pair of hand wraps and boxing gloves will be provided when signing up. Another $100 value. Personally, I lost 25 lbs since I joined the gym and on my way to my first sparring session. Shark Boxing is just AWESOME!!! For anyone who is hesitating, don't. You won't regret join this gym.

As a previous reviewer stated, this is a real kickboxing/boxing gym run by a former champion Javier…read more"El Gaucho" Diez, or simply Javi. You're not going to get cheated out of a workout here. I can guarantee you that. Pre-covid, I was a regular here for years in his kickboxing classes before taking some time off. I started out in his boxing class and I realized my legs needed something to do, so kickboxing made more sense to me. Glad I made the choice. Javi's gym is in the southern part of greater Pasadena and shares a strip mall with several other businesses. Funny enough, there's a donut shop right next to it, which is tempting after workouts. Parking is sparse, but in mornings there's a lot of space. Inside is a bit tight, but his classes aren't too large, which is a good thing. There's also a ring that takes up most of the facility. Here, you'll often see some of his pro and amateur fighters sparring or jumping rope. On-site, he has extra gloves and tape in case you forget to bring your own or just don't have either (I'd highly recommend getting your own gear). There's also a co-ed restroom that he keeps tidy. The classes run for about an hour long, with Javi at the helm instructing you. There are enough heavy bags to go around, but on some days you'll have to share. The workouts are really intense, and Javi will push you. But he is patient and very approachable. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you get something wrong or need some clarity. Nobody gets left behind. Over the years, he's built an environment that is friendly and welcoming. Javi wants you to learn and will give it his heart and soul in the process. This type of commitment, coupled with a friendly atmosphere, is a rarity in gyms nowadays. Javi himself, and not an assistant, will personally show you proper techniques, from your basic punches and kicks to advanced combos and movement. Everything is practical and makes sense. You will drill them repeatedly until they become embedded in your memory bank. The idea is that these techniques can be applied when you have the opportunity to spar, or in real-life situations (which hopefully never comes to fruition). In between drills, he will run some conditioning exercises to build up your stamina. Over time, you will really notice the difference. I know I did. I am forever thankful for the time I spent in Javi's gym. This is a top-notch facility where you will learn from a real, bonafide professional. Don't bother with the other fly-by-night, 30-minute workout gyms you see pop up around town, or the vanity gyms that social media addicts often use as filler for their IG posts. There's a reason this establishment has been around for years. Come see for yourself.

This specific location is very spacious, you'll find all the standard work out machines here along with turf to workout on and UFC specific machines, etc such as their boxing ring, punching bags, tires, etc. My wife and I love to work out so we'll find ourselves visiting almost everyday of the week.

Switching to this gym has been a breath of fresh air. MFC is run by a hardworking and friendly family who's always quick to help and the gymgoers contribute to the overall chill vibe that I love about this place. Equipment: TONS. There's every attachment possible for the cable machines. In addition to having all the typical plate-loaded and pin machines and dumbbells (in 2.5 lb increments too!) for the general fitness enthusiast, they also have specialty equipment for bodybuilding, strongman, olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting.

There's plenty of powerlifting equipment so I've never had to wait to SBD. Community: The folks who come here are respectful and have good gym etiquette. Some folks keep to themselves; they're locked in and focused on their own workouts. Other folks enjoy talking more and building friendships as they train. To each their own - I just love that folks wipe down their equipment after use and rerack their weights. Bathroom: Super clean with multiple stalls, showers, and lockers inside Parking: Spacious, free parking lot. I've never encountered this, but if the lot was ever full, you could easily find (free) street parking Bonuses: There's a large cubby shelf located under the stairs for us to drop our stuff off while we work out. There's also a charging station and several cleaning sprays + constantly restocked towels so we can easily wipe down equipment (and ourselves) They offer $5 day passes on the last Friday of every month so take advantage of that to come check out how awesome this gym is. $65 for the monthly membership is such an invaluable investment for all that MFC provides.
