The classes, trainers, and core group of members create an incredible environment that makes you look forward to every workout. The energy and community vibe are unmatched, and the trainers are knowledgeable, supportive, and always push you to be your best. Since moving away, I really miss being part of this gym--it's hard to find another place that offers the same level of motivation and camaraderie. If you're in the area and looking for a gym that feels like family while keeping you in top shape, UFC Gym Costa Mesa is the place to be read more

Great people working there from the Coaches to Management. Clean gym equipment. Classes are inside / outside vibe. They have Jiu-jitsu and Muy Thai training. Sauna and Cold Therapy. read more

UFC GYM Costa Mesa - Got it in today! - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I do not recommend this gym . No longer a member because they charged my card with unnecessary fees. Gil helped signed me up he was all nice until I sent him text messages about it he was being all defensive and unprofessional . I left messages for Jaden to contact me back .. never received a call or email . They don't care about their member you are on your own. The gym has old machines and their squat rack is a joke , dirty 90s rowing machines . And the yelp gym photos does not look like that lol If you like being cheated come here ! read more

My first time taking any class is always nerve wrecking. I've always admired Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & today I finally had the guts to attend. Coach John was substituting and he was very welcoming. Unfortunately, the 7p is more advanced, but he and the advanced ladies Mila, Michelle & Gwen were patient and kind teaching me basic fundamentals. They even allowed me to try the warm-up and some of Coach John's moves of the day. Everyone was super welcoming, so I appreciated the impromptu intro to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I'll be back for the 6p here at UFC CM or maybe try to the ladies gi at UFC HB. Good stuff! read more

Likes: + Skilled, nice classmates to help improve my technique. + Instructor let me borrow boxing gloves. + I learned an intriguing new martial arts skill. The art of swerve dodging, where you sort of shrug your chin to the side to dodge a face punch. Non-likes: - Their coordination with ClassPass is a little disorganized. I had signed up for an MMA class via CP. When I showed up and checked in, the front desk staff didn't know where I was supposed to go for the class. They had directed me upstairs, but then luckily I bumped into the instructor who guided me to the boxing ring near the front of the studio. - I wish they had kneepads for borrow as well. Tip: Wear a mouthguard. You'll spar gently, but there's still a slight risk of chipping a tooth. read more

My wife and I have been coming to UFC Costa Mesa for over a year now. We really like the facilities, workout classes and trainers there. We've been working with Coach Victor on kickboxing training and have learned a lot! He's been great at teaching us the fundamentals and increasing skills and confidence from there. Would recommend! read more

The hours listed on the door, the website, google and Apple Maps are wrong. Yet when you show up for a workout within an hour or two of their listed closing times there's a high likelihood that it's going to be closed. This has happened to me over 5 times at this location The communication from this business on the simplest level is abysmal and It's a waste of people's time. read more

This gym is a complete scam. Their cancellation process is deliberately impossible, their management is unresponsive, and their billing practices are nothing short of predatory. I funded a membership for my boyfriend, Kalani, but when he couldn't find time to attend due to his demanding schedule, I attempted to cancel. On December 3rd, I called and spoke to Melanie, clearly within the 21-day notice required to avoid further charges. Instead of helping, she insisted Kalani come in person--an absurd suggestion since he couldn't even use the membership. She passed me off to Anthony. After noticing a $131.50 charge on December 8th, I called Anthony. He told me to email his manager, Chris, which I did immediately. I received no response. When I followed up with Anthony via text, he casually explained the charge was a yearly fee, monthly fee, and a late fee. His solution? Try calling Chris directly. I followed all their steps, made every attempt to cancel within the required time, and was still charged unfairly. UFC Gym has no interest in resolving issues--only in taking your money and ignoring you when you ask for help. If you value your time, money, and sanity, stay far away. This place is a disorganized mess that thrives on shady policies and poor communication. You'll get charged no matter what you do. read more

Been trying to cancel my membership for 3 months now and for some reason it's rocket science to all the managers. Sent emails and went in in person. Still couldn't get it right. Could've had three full tanks of gas or a couple meals. Some of us aren't as fortunate for you to be careless with our money. read more

UFC GYM Costa Mesa - Since February I've been tryna cancel - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We went in today to do a quick tour of the gym. UFC is one of the gym's on our insurance company that's subsidized. We were welcomed quickly, and Jade Henderson gave our tour. Although the gym is not large, it has plenty of equipment, including lots placed outdoors, which is very nice. Jade went over the deals available (which were better than my insurance companies!) and did not pressure me with sales tactics allowing me to go and see my second choice. He gave us his card with his cell, which was helpful to call back and join over the phone. My husband joined also and we're very excited to give UFC a try. read more

My card got stolen back in February and my charges originally were taken out on the 27th but it declined on the 26 and so I called and have my new information and paid in full on the 26th. Now my payment date is on the 25th and I get a late fee. I call them because my payment wasn't late as I STILL paid that same day it was just because my card had been stolen. I asked for my money back and they said it would be 14-21 DAYS for the refund and I kept calling to see if I'd get it and NOTHING. So I gave up on the late fee and took it as a loss. When I went to cancel my gym membership at the one year mark the girls made me feel so stupid and laughed at me when I brought up the old late fee charge and said they have NO RECORD. and I was like girl look at your phone records look at my payment statements like do your job. Honestly it was such a scam and so frustrating. :( read more

I signed up a little over a month ago, being a mom looking for a gym that has child care was a major must! After calling and speaking with Bahar on the phone I came in for a free trial and was obsessed. Not only is the gym super clean, it has so many amazing amenities! I signed up on the spot. I feel most gyms have that intimidating factor when starting but everyone from the staff to gym attendees are all so helpful and sweet, I felt comfortable right away. The class options are great as well, so many too choose from. My favorite so far have been the 9am Hiit classes with Coach John Tan. (though he can ease up on the burpees lol) My kids love the play room, it's clean and full of different toys for all ages. We all absolutely love Ms. Annie!! She's so sweet and I definitely feel my kids are in good hands while I work out. Honestly nothing but positive vibes and reviews for this gym. So happy I signed up and looking forward to continuing my health journey here read more

Jadell is a new manager at the Costa Mesa location who was at the Corona location before, and has been super helpful! He got me a great deal on a multi year (highly recommended), and even gave me his cell if I ever needed anything. Great customer service and awesome gym! read more

Cool gym with a decent amount of standard gym machines and a lot of punching bags and other training equip outside in the back which is pretty sweet. Taking a handful of lessons from Coach Victor and there has definitely been improvement in my cardio, coordination and endurance. Looking forward to the lessons I have left. read more

Came in during travel - Jade the GM was so helpful and was so nice in helping me figure out a boxing class! I've done boxing before and it was great to be outdoors and it was different circuit wise! Instructor paid attention alot and it was great! read more

Signed up with GM Jade. The outdoor open air space is really cool and adds a unique vibe.

Coach Victor is great and has a lot of experience with wrestling, boxing, grappling, and among other things. He is a marine vet and an experienced UFC fighter. He knows how to fight. If you want to learn from someone who not only understands the techniques but also has experience, he's your guy. read more

I really wanted to find a gym that felt comfortable and has an attentive staff. I am starting my journey at UFC after surviving cancer and Jadell was extremely helpful. He listened to my needs and helped me come up with a plan to get back into gear. I definitely felt more confident leaving today than coming in. His charisma, kindness and overall love for his position shines through. I highly recommend if you need anything at all and want to start your personal journey. Please don't hesitate to find Jadell for whatever you need. read more

This gym has changed my life, every day I go through those doors I instantly feel like I'm welcome almost like a family member. This gym's equipment is not great.... It's fantastic !! It's some of the beast tools and gear I have ever seen! I literally feel like a God like figure every time I check myself out in those spotless clean mirrors. Also they have kid care, I would trust my kids with there child care passionate workers with my life. It's an honor to drop my kids off at the gym! All in short if you're thinking about checking this gym out, do not hesitate you will be surprised how great this place is. Also DJ you are welcome read more

UFC Gym in Costa Mesa is fantastic. The place goes overlooked because it used to be a car dealership and the signs say UFC, but it's actually a great gym. Good mix of machines and free weights plus a nice outdoor area as well. Sauna is nice and clean and so is the gym in general. The manager Jade is a great guy, easy going, and total non pressure attitude. I'd highly recommend joining as their membership price is great and unbearable for the area/for what you get. Thanks Jade read more

I took my brothers for an orientation to join UFC gym and made it very clear that I was not in charge of them or billing and provided them with my father's information. They were here for a few months and unfortunately my father had fraud on his card while he was on vacation. UFC GYM continued to harass me over the phone and leave numerous messages for weeks, after i repeatedly asked them not to and informed them that my family was on vacation. They not only harassed the rest of my family but ultimately everybody became so annoyed that we decided to just move them to a private gym for private classes. I hope someone sees this: UFC GYM YOU SCARE CUSTOMERS AWAY WITH HARASSING BEHAVIOR FROM YOUR STAFF! Gym premises are 5/10, kid classes are decent 7.8/10. read more

This review is for the automatic billing procedures they do. Do NOT accept anything for trial because you can not cancel this for months and they keep billing you. Telling you to come in. Then email them. Then come back in and then we don't have a manager here. It's chaotic. read more

Been coming here for a year and a half now. I'm mainly a patron of the DUT HIIT classes during the weekdays. Every class you're guaranteed to get a really good work out. It can be as intense as you want it to be. Lots of regulars who keep coming back. Highly recommended. Everyone who does these classes on the regular are in shape and buff af. Really good price comparatively to other specialty gyms. You really get a lot for the monthly fee. classes, 24 hour access to gyms etc. They do push for personal training a lot. I personally don't do the PT but the trainers are great in my experience. If you need the personal push, you can't go wrong with the trainers there. read more

Jade'll was super patient and friendly with me during the sign up process really nice gym atmosphere too

Shout out to Jade'll for making the sign-up process really easy. I tend to get anxious interacting with salespeople because of the pressure that can be involved in making a purchase. Working with him was much easier to navigate than I anticipated and I appreciated his honest approach read more

It's time to lose that Covid-15! Five stars because they are doing a great job at maintaining safe standards during Covid. It feels really good to get back into the gym and everyone here has been really nice and accommodating. In the last few weeks they have started to move the gym equipment back into being inside with the CA tier moving down. I pay 60 dollars a month to have plenty of equipment, access to an outdoor area with dumbbells and CrossFit style equipment, and a men's locker room that has a bathroom and a sauna! They check temp at entrance, ask people (which majority of patrons do) to wear masks inside as well as wipe down equipment with sanitizer spray after every workout. It isn't hard to do since there are many sanitizing stations located throughout the gym. Once in the outdoor area, masks are optional to wear but everyone still maintains a safe space between each other. read more

Jade'll is awesome! He was great about answering the 30 questions I had.. I'm one of those that needs to ask all the questions. Pour guy....LoL He was patient and very easy to deal with. He also helped my son. I got a 2 year sign up deal that makes it affordable and saved me money (I recommend it!!) He is the best!! read more

Firstly, the staff at the gym are amazing! Matt F. is so helpful. It was my first time at the gym today and he took the time to show me around and help me get familiar with all the equipment, so I didn't feel out of place or awkward like how I usually do at a new gym. He also made sure to help me find the best gym plan for myself and also recommended a ton of new programs/activities to try that UFC offers. The gym may not have a ton of diverse lifting equipment but it has all the essentials which you need - the obvious bonus of going to UFC being the training rings and UFC centered equipment. What was really cool was an outdoor area which I really enjoy in gyms. There's a TON of squat racks (4 or 5) so don't be worried about skipping leg day. The gym also felt very personal and close - which was very nice and inviting. I forgot my keys at a machine and a worker personally found me and handed it to me! Big shoutout to him, I'm sorry I didn't catch his name. Thank you Matt F. and everyone else for showing me around, will definitely be back and recommend the gym to others! read more

Just joined this gym and Jade + Gil made the sign up process super easy and informative. I can already tell it's a good gym and clearly has great staff that are super cool and care about lot. Thank you guys can't wait to start gettin after it ! read more

Just signed up my son who wants to start MMA. Jadel Henderson helped sign us up and was great; we had a lot of questions and he was very patient and answered all of them. He made the process really easy. My son is really hyped to start training. read more

This was great. Emphasis on was. Once I moved suddenly due to family emergency trying to cancel my membership was impossible. 4 letters sent and still my card was charged. Even after disputing with my bank they immediately went in, charged me my membership, and an extra fee. So when my wallet was stolen it was a blessing in disguise. It was for my bank account. But for my sanity? No. I am called 2-4 times DAILY from not callers to staff. I told one staff I am no longer a member and am tired of mailing letters and to stop callin. That worked. For 4 days. This is LITERALLY HARASSMENT. So sign up if you never plan on moving. If this is temporary don't bother. I miss the old staff that actually listened to their gym goers. This new management seems like read more

Best Gym in Costa Mesa! I was shopping for a gym because I left the gym I was in due to lack of professionalism and the trainers being out of shape ( training). I decided to check out UFC and Jade was so helpful, super kind and made me feel at home. The staff is amazing Bahar hs super sweet also ( you'll love her) the best part is that the gym has great equipment, amazing hiit classes and the people are next level athletes! You'll love it! Hope this helps someone make a decision read more

I have been coming to this gym for almost two years now and I am so happy I started. I love the whole layout of this gym. It's different. There is a super cool area in the back that just feels like a big playground. They have punching bags, weightlifting platforms, and a large turf area where you can train. There are frequent classes that vary in focus led by some really intelligent and cool trainers. I have not taken many classes but the ones I have taken have been incredible. You can always adjust your workout to your ability range and the coaches are super helpful in modifying exercises. The inside area is where they have more of their standard workout machines and the layout is cool. It's not just one big room. There are different areas and I think they have done a great job in how they have kept the machine areas categorized. They also have their octagon inside which is always cool to see the BJJ classes taking place. The kids' BJJ is the cutest thing you will ever see in your life, I swear! The community at this gym has been the biggest game changer for me. I have been super out of shape for a long time. The community at this gym had made me feel so accepted and loved. It all started when I walked in one day, determined to change my life because I was incredibly frustrated with myself. I got a tour of the gym and then was introduced to a trainer-Nikki Adams. From then on me and Nikki have worked together over the past two years to get me healthy and learn everything I need to know about working out. Though she doesn't say it to everyone, she has a master's degree in kinesiology! That wealth of knowledge has been SO VALUABLE TO ME. Nikki has basically saved me from myself over and over again. When I came in she got me started. When I was giving up on myself she never did. When I experienced small milestones in progress she was my biggest cheerleader. She also leads the recovery area which has been amazing for when I have injured myself! They have a cryo chamber, water massage beds, a big massage chair, and Nikki offers cupping-which at first was scary but omg life changing! I cannot express my gratitude and love for Nikki enough. She is truly a corner stone of this gym and I would never have been able to get to where I am without her knowledge, positive attitude, and kindness. The other coaches have been super wonderful to me, too. Letty, Rachel, Brian, Edgar-getting to interact with them regularly and see and experience their devotion to health, training and having a great mindset has provided me with amazing examples of what changing your mindset and focus can do. It has been such a fun experience overall and it has been so cool to watch this super unique gym transform over the years. I will definitely be continuing to come here for years to come. I will always rate this place five stars. This place saved me and changed my life. I would recommend this gym specifically to anyone looking to truly change and commit to that change. The education I have received from being at this gym and interacting with the staff has been invaluable to me. Worth every single penny, over and over again. read more

A great alternative to LA Fitness or 24HR if you are not a fan of the oversized, commercial gyms and don't mind a smaller gym. I've been coming here for a few years and I really enjoy the atmosphere and the people. Yes, certain times of day may be crowded and hard to find weights/machines, but that is every gym. Overall, it is a solid gym w/ unique classes (adult & child) and qualified trainers and staff. I've watched the kids BJJ classes and the coaches seem to be genuinely amazing w/ the kids, and the kids seem to love them. In my opinion, the trainers are FAR more qualified than the usual commercial gyms and they are worth the cost. If personal training is interesting to you I've personally worked w/ and would highly suggest: Troy = kickboxing/boxing, and Israel Parra = mobility, body re-comp, weight training, beginner to advanced. If you're a female and would prefer a female trainer then Niki and Mia are both amazing, passionate, and very good at what they do. My only critique is that the entrance/admin stations/front desk could be organized better to look less messy & chaotic, the women's bathroom often runs out of paper towels, and a good, deep cleaning/dusting from ceiling to floor would really make this place shine. Overall would absolutely recommend. read more

Took HIIT with coach John. Perfect challenge and organization. Enjoyed a lot. I would recommend his class. The gym has plenty of space and weights. read more

I came to UFC Gym looking for customized training for my son. JADE'LL had excellent recommendations for a tailored experience, including training type, classes, equipment, and specific trainers. Jade'll ensured all my questions were answered prior to signing, and made sure I was comfortable with, and understood all options along the way. Highly recommend. read more

Anthony in the recovery department is amazing!!!! He has been supper helpful from the first day I became a member at UFC mind you I have been a member for 2 years. About the gym it's a bit smaller but DUT classes are great for anyone with a busy lifestyle. Also huge shoutout to Coach Israel who is kicking my but with PT highly recommend him if you need help establishing a workout routine. read more

The general manager Jade'll had excellent customer and sales services, I was taken care of the second I walked in the door! His supportive and kind approach represented this location well, and I am confident in my decision to sign up here. Thanks Jade'll! read more

Never would have thought I'd get a UFC gym membership yet here I am. My roommate has her membership with the HB UFC so I knew it was a pretty solid gym. I found their Boxing Conditioning class on ClassPass and it was easily my favorite boxing class (from trying out three different studios) and favorite fitness class (from trying out ten different businesses - including strength, Pilates, barre, yoga, open gym, etc.) What really sold me was the open air area where the bags are (because I don't get enough outside time with work and indoor classes), the skill of the coach, and the friendliness of the staff. I was able to get a pretty good deal with membership and now it feels like I can take boxing and kickboxing classes throughout the week, AND be able to use gym equipment when I want. Also, I paid for the year upfront (there was a deal for two years free) because girl math tells me that if I charge it once, I won't see more charges later and then it's basically free. read more
