I've been training with Coach Katie and I honestly couldn't recommend her more. She's incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and knows exactly how to push you without making you feel overwhelmed. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and actually excited to keep going. What I love most is how motivating she is on days when I feel like I can't do it, she's right there encouraging me and helping me push past my limits. She really takes the time to understand your goals and keeps you accountable, which has made a huge difference for me. If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares, keeps you motivated, and helps you see real progress, Coach Katie is the one. Highly recommend! read more

I have a Championship membership from another UFC gym. Briana the Assistant Operations Manager refuses to honor it. I find this to be unreasonable because this membership is accepted at all UFC gyms. My quuestion to Briana is why doesn't she accept it. I want to use the Recovery room at the UFC Brea gym and Briana doesn't believe that the Championship membershio from another UFC gym includes recovery so without my persmission she calls that UFC gym to verify it. I don't like it when Briana violates my boundaries without respecting me. This action represents the lack of respect at UFC Brea. I commented to Briana that she violated my boundaries by calling the other UFC gym without getting my permission first. Briana said "I'm doing you a favor " I was incredulous by this remark when she banned me from the gym earlier. At this point, I said to her I want you to leave me alone. I want you to go away. I feel that I'm being harrassed, bullied, and she is cruel to me in words and actions. She doesn't understand what professionalism means. read more

I had a very disappointing experience with UFC Gym Brea. I was charged approximately $1,200 without my authorization, and when I brought it to their attention, the gym refused to issue a refund or take responsibility. I never approved this charge, nor was I clearly informed that such a large amount would be billed. What's most frustrating is the lack of accountability and customer service. Instead of trying to resolve the issue fairly, they dismissed my concerns and offered no meaningful solution. For a business of this size, I expected transparency, proper authorization for charges, and professional handling of billing disputes. I strongly recommend that anyone considering signing up carefully review their contract, monitor their bank statements closely, and get everything in writing. Based on my experience, billing practices here are questionable, and resolving issues afterward is extremely difficult. I would not recommend UFC Gym Brea to anyone who values clear communication and honest billing. read more

No need to have better "communication". Just stop SCAMMING people. Sadly, I'm not the only one. I'm telling all my friends and family that signed up here with me to cancel also. Never had this experience anywhere else. LA Fitness, Lifetime, etc. only THIS UFC location read more

Living in the area I've been seeing this gym. My brother joined earlier this year and I've been curious to try it. I did a walk in to see it and an employee showed me around. He was kind of knowledgeable but typical sales man. I felt like he answered questions just to answer without caring on accuracy. Some things didn't really add up to what my brother had told me, but whatever. I tried a couple classes before deciding to join. Only reason I was looking to join is because I run out of credits from my yoga and my Pilates studios. I did a yoga class which is on the easier side, not so much of a workout. I'm used to power yoga a yoga six and could definitely tell the difference in difficulty and preparedness or lack of. I took a pilates class which is mat pilates, no reformers. I've taken 2 different instructors which have completely different styles. Thursday will be more cardio like and reminds me of HIIT. The Tuesday was more intentional movements and holding positions to work your muscles. For all 3 of these I highly recommend bringing your own mat, but they do have some available. My absolute favorite class so far has been the dance class. The instructor is Hugh energy, friendly and will take her time to guide you when needed. The second floor has all the equipment: weights, cardio, and bootcamp area. First floor are most of the classes and recovery center. read more

I like the coziness of the gym floor and for those who want MMA, you've also got that including MMA trainers...

This is a great spacious gym with plenty of parking in the heart of Brea. I received personal training from three coaches so far and they were all wonderful! I'm currently being trained by Coach Katie and she is my personal favorite! She is so incredibly encouraging, motivating, and knowledgeable. Definitely goes above and beyond. I love how she takes the time to explain various exercises and the purpose behind them, so you know exactly why you're going through the different types of pain. She is also SO patient and does her very best to meet you where you're at while still pushing you past your limits. My sessions have been so positive, exactly what I needed after having a baby and trying to get back in shape! You can tell she really cares about your progress and wants the best for your fitness journey! read more

WARNING FRAUD ALERT great gym, however be CAREFUL with their contracts, they add all sorts of fees at the end and will be routed for collections. Make sure to document your cancellation efforts otherwise they will extort as much as they can. I called my Brea gym two months prior to cancel over the phone, the idiot rep said not to worry about it as it would cancel on its own. and now f***ers keep calling threatening collections. Take a look at ALL the negative reviews, they are ALL around billing, canceling and fees. Then the business manager makes a half hearted attempt at "understanding" customer's frustrations. How about fixing your predatory policies??? read more

I transferred from the La Mirada UFC to Brea since I moved and I really like the Brea location. Machines feel new and there's a good amount of them so it never feels too cramped. When I transferred I signed up for personal training and am training with Coach Katie and she's AMAZING! Coach Katie really cares about giving you the most out of your training sessions. She's very observant so she'll watch you to make sure you're doing the exercises and movements correctly to prevent injuries and make sure you're getting a solid workout in. She absolutely pushes me to my max in the best way possible! I leave each session feeling good and sore! She encourages me and keeps me going, even when I feel like I can't keep going! I'm feeling muscles sore that haven't felt sore before! If you're looking into personal training, go with Coach Katie!! read more

The music is the same - techno rapper with vulgarities. Whatever. That's not changing. The steps up and down, front and rear: the year-old dried-up spill stains never leave. My biggest problem? I can rip through a complete set of everything I want - but some people do a set and sit on the same machine for 30 minutes because they are texting or looking at - well, one guess. You guys ought to have a "Please be courteous" message of some sort. Finally, there are two Deltoid Machines in constant motion and three"rope" machines I've never seen in operation. Invest in the Deltoids. The equipment is very good. The front staff is always courteous. read more

I started going to the gym feeling completely lost, overwhelmed, and honestly, pretty shy. Working with Coach Rachel changed everything for me. From day one, she made me feel safe, comfortable, and supported. She truly has a gift for guiding you without ever making you feel judged, and she pushes you to do better in all the right ways. Every session with her was not only productive but genuinely so much fun. Week after week, I watched myself grow, lifting more and going down on the scale. With her help, I've lost 23 pounds, gained confidence in myself, and learned to love my body and what it can do. I honestly couldn't have done this without her. I'm beyond grateful to have been trained by Rachel and would recommend her to anyone who wants a trainer who actually cares and knows exactly how to bring out their best. read more

by far the best UFC gym in the LA area in my opinion. I drive from DTLA to come here because of how clean it is, the knowledgeable coaches, and the new machines. I hardly see a wait time on any machines every time i come during peak hours (5pm-7pm). Definitely worth the drive. Also wanted to give a huge shoutout out to coach Rachel who is an amazing personal trainer and bad ass boxing coach. Already lost 8 pounds in less than a month with her guidance. Also coach sean is an excellent kickboxing coach who has a great kickboxing/conditioning class that is properly structured for both conditioning and technical skills. Pretty happy with my experience so far read more

I usually have a good experience as a frequent gym-goer here. The other day, as I left the gym, I went out of my way (by about 5-7 seconds) to keep a door wide open for some guy walking in. No eye contact, no "thank you", nothing. It was the 3rd time that happened to me at that gym. It normally doesn't bother me. I get that some people have bad days or weren't taught manners. The difference this time, though, is that the dude was an employee there. I'm an independent personal trainer... despite that, showing respect to other patrons, even those I don't know, at my private gym, is imperative. No matter where you work, showing a smidge of gratitude to customers, especially when they're being generous, regardless of their appearance or whether or not they're extroverted or introverted, is essential in my opinion. I won't cancel my membership. It is the best gym in the area... in terms of aesthetics and convenience. It has a variety of state-of-the-art equipment. Hardly ever overcrowded. I just wish people, especially at their own workplace, would reciprocate respect when it's given to them. I may consider changing my review in the future, but for now I'm sticking with it. read more

I've been going to this gym for a while now, and overall it's been a really positive experience. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a good variety of equipment, so there's rarely a long wait for machines even during busy hours. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially for new members who might feel intimidated at first. I also like that the environment feels welcoming -- people are focused on their workouts without being judgmental. read more

Pro: Clean gym with a good variety of machines and heavy bags for kickboxing and DUT. Con: This is my 5th UFC GYM since my membership allows me to go anywhere. In none of the other gyms are there this many gym bros that thinks they're cool but just sad. Dude if you can't lift then lower your weight why tf are you dropping them? Not just one person either but at least five different guys just dropping weight on the machine. I get if you're doing 300 lbs deadlift but if you can't even do 50 lbs on the machine then maybe don't. All the weights and machines are on the second floor so when they drop it isn't just loud but it literally shakes the whole floor like an earthquake. I'm California native so earthquake to us is like what earthquake but here it's really bad. read more

Probably the worst location ever in terms of customer service. I came to cancel my membership because I'm moving over 20 miles away and the manager Brian Walker refused to cancel my membership. He was also extremely dismissive and kept asking why I was moving why I wanted to cancel why can't I just make the drive etc. This is not something that I'm unfamiliar with by the way because I've not only owned my own gym for six years. I've also managed multiple commercial gyms in my 20s so I know that this is completely inappropriate behavior. He kept cutting me off and barely would let me get a word in edgewise . I'm also a three-time certified Olympic weightlifting coach and he kept insinuating that I wouldn't know how to work out if I used an apartment gym and was just so condescending when this guy literally does not look like he knows how to even walk up a flight of stairs. After wasting my time and trying to tear me down, he then told me that he does not do cancellations and that I would have to go to the front desk. I even told him my gym membership is literally a $15 a month employee add-on so I don't even understand why they're hurting so badly for $15 a month but again all of my concerns were ignored. The front desk told me they're not able to do cancellations and I said that Brian refused to cancel and the front desk was completely shocked and confused as to why. They actually had to page someone to come down since Brian refused to do his job legally. He's also constantly blocking the front door to try to flirt with young trainers, which is really disgusting, but I wasn't gonna say anything about it until I was treated so poorly by him. Finally, the assistant manager helped me which I appreciated because that was very smooth and he's honestly the only person besides Robert Duran that has given me good service here. No matter what gym I owned or managed, I was always a 24 hour member until the Anaheim Garden walk location became ufc, which is the reason I switched to ufc to begin with, but honestly, it was a mistake and I'm so happy to be a canceled member read more

I have been going to this gym for over a year now, what a great experience. Katie, fitness instructor and personal trainer, was so motivating for me. She helped me work through a variety of mew exercise routines that have pushed me to work harder and excel in my fitness journey. Highly recommend! read more

No customer service here. charging fee whenever they feel like it instead of following member agreement. Won't allow me to cancel. Was given corporate email still haven't gotten a response with my issue. Manger here Rachel Garcia just gives you the run around. Doesn't resolve issues that are computer errors. Pretty much tell you "not my problem" Here are your fees that were never put into your balance or charged to your account two months later because it convenient for us right now instead of immediately charging them as stated per member agreement. Doesn't matter they want you to follow the agreement but they can't. They also couldn't give me a direct number to corporate. read more

Horrible experience. They just won't let you cancel. I went in once to cancel, signed the documents and everything. The guy said I would get an email with the confirmation. I never did. I called back after a few days and they said there's no cancellation documentation, so I need to come back in and sign again. Be careful signing up if you ever want to cancel. read more

I absolutely LOVE this gym! Not only do they have such a huge variety of classes for adults AND kids, I get to train with my amazing coach Katie while my kids are at their boxing class . Feeling sore? No worries ! They also have the recovery room of your dreams ! Coach Katie is amazing! She is knowledgeable, knows what my goals are and has helped me get stronger every week! I highly recommend checking it out! read more

I still have a membership here, they have good machines for working out but it's mainly packed and if you want to use the mats for wrestling sparring etc there always being used by a class. I understand there are classes going on but I feel there should be a bigger or separate area. So if your there during class time they will just kick you off read more

Hands down the best gym I've been to. The energy is always high, the ladies in the front really care of me , and everyone motivates each other. Shout out Nadia read more

TERRIBLE! its been an on going issue with canceling my membership. I dont live in the area Briana told me to email Rachel which I never heard from. Sent multiple emails. After 2 months I went in to cancel my membership with Briana signed what I needed to sign to cancel the amount. Now im getting emails and messages stating I owe $420. Called the location today and they said I owe money my membership as never canceled. This place is ridiculous. Worst customer service! Terrible communication! All they care about is signing up and once they have you signed up, could carecarelessless about any other concerns! Rachel Garcia (Manager) needs to act like one and follow up with information. Briana (check in person) needs to be taught on how to cancel a membership and do it correctly. read more

Really loved this gym because it was nice and clean! But definitely tried to scam me with billing for physical training that I never agreed to. Rachel fuerpe Felipe a PT tried to charge me $420 one month then another 800$ that my bank caught suspicious then another 509$ the following month and when I tried to get a refund no body was really accommodating to help each time I caught onto the charges till I went to my bank lucky I did get a refunded but ended up cancelling. Definitely just be aware but other then that the gym is nice read more

I'm not one to write bad reviews. You can check my history and see I'm not one of those negative Yelpers. I'm writing this review because unfortunately, this Brea UFC gym is engaging in some manipulative practices that I need to make others aware of. My husband utilized the free recovery session offered to him. Since he found it beneficial, he decided to purchase 8 sessions to use throughout the year. His coach was unable to complete the transaction so he was referred to Chris. My husband provided his AMEX card and was charged $640 for the 8 sessions. Months later, we discovered that they had continued to charge $640 a month on the VISA he has on file for his membership dues. When we discovered this, my husband immediately asked to cancel this since he didn't sign up for this recurring service. He had to speak to management several times before it was actually cancelled. In the meantime, another $640 was charged. We immediately disputed these charges. My husband hadn't signed up for this recurring service. When we asked them to produce the "contract" where he signed up for this monthly service, they produced the signed "contract" that my husband thought was the receipt for the 8 sessions. He signed what he thought was the receipt for the eight sessions ONLY on the AMEX. However on the contract, it shows the VISA that is on file not the AMEX he gave them when he made the purchase. It has been a nightmare trying to get a refund for the 5 months of charges (totaling $3,200). He didn't sign up for this recurring service. He was never informed that he was signing up for a recurring service. These are manipulative practices to obtain bonuses or commission. Their management just refers me to their corporate office phone number but not surprisingly there is no one you can talk to. You just get the option to leave a voicemail. I have left several voicemails but no response. Be cautious and aware of these manipulative practices when signing anything. It's shameful that they trick and manipulate their customers like this. read more

I loved this gym when I first started going a year after it opened. Friendly staff, clean, new equipment, and it was never too busy especially during peak hours. Now it seems they've sold too many memberships for cheaper because no matter the time you go it's beyond full. Very difficult to get a bench. I started going here to avoid the packed gyms now I spend too long here waiting for equipment. I like to get my workout in asap and leave. I try to be courteous of people waiting. It's giving planet fitness sadly. Will continue going for now but I hope I don't have issues cancelling in the future if I leave since that seems to be a major complaint in the reviews. read more

Trainer Laurence is the best personal trainer I have ever met, one of those rare trainers who professionally know what he is teaching. The other trainers and associates are also all friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommending to everyone who wants to achieve their fitness goal. read more

I've been going to UFC gym since they opened. It's a really nice, new gym that I enjoy. I appreciate the help of Karim with signing up. He made me feel like I was getting the best deal and made me feel welcomed. The other staff members I've interacted with or that I've taken the classes of have been amazing, shout out to Nick, Rachel, Malia, and Robert to name a few. Coach Richard with Jiu Jitsu and Coach JackPaul with boxing have also made my experience worthwhile. I recommend checking it out and taking a trial class! read more

Love love love this gym! I've been a member of UFC for 7+ years and I'm so happy to them expanding more and more! This facility is 2 stories and has all the gym equipment a gym junkie needs. Since it's brand spanking new, all the equipment is clean and taken care of. The restrooms & locker rooms are spotless! The staff here is amazing! Erika the general manager here I've had the pleasure of seeing flourish within UFC. She's definitely the right person to be overseeing this facility and truly has a love for what she does. She's definitely the person to hit up for membership inquiries & all things UFC related. read more

Favorite gym. Very clean and aesthetic. Friendly staff, lots of MMA programs for kids and adults, MMA training spaces, and recovery services

I tried this gym recently and had a pretty disappointing experience. I had left my ID at the front desk, and when I needed to leave, I waited and even had someone notify the staff for me, but was ignored. When I retrieved my own ID (which I had permission to leave), one of the managers confronted me in a rude and condescending tone in front of others. I came in with good intentions, was respectful, and didn't deserve to be spoken to like that. Not a great first impression. read more

I've only been a member for one day and I already understand why there are so many reviews saying the staff doesn't know what they're doing. I scheduled a complimentary intro session with coach Rachel a week in advance, then when I decided I didn't want the training session anymore I called to cancel to free Rachel's schedule for Tuesday I was told by the employee on the phone that she doesn't have Rachel's number so she can't cancel. She took my name and phone number down and still told me to call back later to cancel. I said sure, but obviously that isn't an efficient process to cancel an appointment, so I mess around with the ufc app and it was so easy to cancel on the app, took 1 second. Just went on the calendar and tapped cancel lol. Staff needs more training and better problem solving skills read more
