Gym is clean, porters do their very best to keep the place clean. Especially the locker rooms. Anyways!!! Anyone looking for personal training I highly recommend coach Makenna. She's amazing and is currently helping me on my health, fitness and lifestyle journey. I can't ask for a better coach as my personal trainer. I love what she truly believes in. read more

I have been a member with UFC for about 8 months. I have Kaiser Permanente health insurance and through the active & fi program you can join most gyms for $200 and if you take 45 visits within the year you get reimbursed the $200 so it's like a free gym membership. I also work with a coach. Kenna is awesome! I have been working with her for 8 months now. She does my training program and nutrition. I am so thankful to have found a trainer who does both because I always struggled with my meal planning. However, with Kenna's support and guidance I am down 20 lbs. She is the best!Kenna is now helping me prepare for my first bodybuilding competition! read more

The facilities are run down and half the machines are out of order on any given day. They can't keep staff to save their lives except for the ones that charge you when you haven't gone to their facility for several years. Ren is the worst PT director I have ever encountered. He is irresponsible, unresponsive, and charges accounts without authorization not once, not twice, but three times and literally hides behind his other employees to avoid talking with customers to fix his mistakes. Do not ever go to UFC Honolulu. Drive the extra 20-30 minutes and go to Kailua or Mililani. Waipahu even. UFC Honolulu is the worst (and most expensive) mistake I've ever made. read more

I just attended a trial 1-on-1 coaching session, and it was fantastic! Reyn was super friendly, welcomed me to the gym, and gave me a thorough tour. The facility is fully equipped with great gear and dedicated spaces for different training modalities. The overall vibe is awesome, and they offer a ton of coaching options. I had the chance to do a 1-on-1 session with Muay Thai trainer Tong. Even though I already have a background in fighting, I'd never done a private session before, so it was a really exciting and unique experience. I loved the trial class and will definitely be enrolling! I'm super excited to start my new fitness journey here to sharpen my skills and hit my fitness goals. read more

I started working with Coach Jean in February, and I can honestly say it has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. When I first came to her, I was overweight, constantly exhausted, struggling with low confidence and self-esteem, and held back by so many limiting beliefs. I didn't just need someone to help me exercise--I needed someone who could help me believe in myself again. Jean is unlike any coach I've ever worked with. She doesn't just train your body; she helps transform your mindset. She has an incredible gift for inspiring you to see your own strength, even when you can't see it yourself. She brings out a warrior spirit you never knew you had and reminds you that you're capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Over these past five months, she has been my biggest supporter, motivator, and guide. Every meal plan she creates is thoughtfully tailored to my specific needs, and she consistently monitors my progress, making adjustments along the way to ensure I'm getting the best possible results. I've never felt like just another client--I've always felt genuinely cared for. Today, I'm a completely different woman. I'm stronger, healthier, more confident, and more resilient, and so much of that transformation is thanks to Jean's knowledge, encouragement, and unwavering belief in me. If you're looking for a coach who truly cares about your success and will challenge you to become the best version of yourself, I cannot recommend Jean highly enough. She has changed my life, and I will always be grateful that I chose to start this journey with her. read more

Pomai and Jean are amazing! Pomai has helped me get stronger with personalized, effective training, and Jean has taken my posing and confidence to the next level. They're both knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their clients' success. Highly recommend! read more

I genuinely cannot say enough amazing things about Kenna. She is truly the only coach who could have gotten me to where I am today. She is compassionate, understanding, thoughtful, encouraging, and incredibly dedicated to every single one of her clients and their goals. What makes Kenna so special is that she genuinely cares about you as a person, not just your progress or the numbers. She takes the time to listen, understand what you need, and meet you where you are while still pushing you to become the best version of yourself. She celebrates every win with you, supports you through the hard days, and somehow always knows exactly what to say when you need a little extra motivation. I've never met a coach who is more invested in her clients. You can tell how much time, energy, and heart she puts into what she does. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but she's also patient and makes you feel supported throughout the entire process. I've grown so much both physically and mentally since working with her, and I've accomplished things I honestly never thought I could. Kenna has believed in me during times when I didn't fully believe in myself, and that has meant more to me than I can put into words. I truly would not be where I am today without her guidance, encouragement, and constant support. Choosing her as my coach was one of the best decisions I've made, and I'm so grateful to have her in my corner. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely care about you, challenge you, celebrate you, and give their all to helping you reach your goals, Kenna is that person. read more

I started working with Bryson and Jean at the start of this year and they have helped so much. I have a lot of issues with my shoulder and they have both worked incredibly hard to help me fix them so I can live a better life. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

I recently relocated to Honolulu for military service and was genuinely interested in joining UFC Gym. Before visiting, I requested a free one-day pass through the UFC Gym website and received an email confirming it. When I arrived, I was given a tour, and almost immediately the conversation shifted to purchasing a membership. The first option presented was a prepaid plan costing around $600. I explained that I had just moved to the island and didn't want to make another long-term commitment without first trying the gym. I had already made that mistake with another gym and didn't want to repeat it. After discussing the monthly option, I asked to use the one-day pass that had already been approved. That's when I was told, "These passes are for locals only. I have to enter your Hawaii ID into the system because a lot of visitors come here and try to work out for free." I explained that I had only been in Hawaii for about three weeks and therefore didn't have a Hawaii driver's license yet. I even offered to show my signed Honolulu lease along with my military ID and driver's license to prove that I live here. Despite that, they still refused to honor the pass. I wasn't looking for a free workout. I already pay for another gym membership. I simply wanted to experience the facility before deciding whether it was worth joining. The entire interaction left me feeling like making a sale was more important than building trust with a potential long-term customer. It was especially disappointing because Honolulu has a large military community, and many of us relocate here without immediately having a Hawaii ID. A little flexibility and customer service would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for me to decide to take my business elsewhere. read more

The UFC/MMA Kakaako Gym, has all of the weightlifting equipment that I require, for my age bracket and disabilities, since 2012. The gym is also has a good social environment for the membership. The gym has a good assortment of food, supplements, and a multitude of gym beverages. Since it is open 24 hour, it also accommodates shift workers. You get out of any gym, what you put into it. no read more

The gym workers are nice and the trainers are great but the status of the men's locker room is horrendous. I get the gym has wild hours and it's hard to keep a place clean but there's got to be a greater effort made for the amount of money some ppl pay for these memberships. The mold issue in the men's shower is so bad. You can smell the black mold in there as if it's an old wooden ship.... I've worked on board 40 year old boats that have less mold than that locker room. That's a health hazard. read more

Totally hooked on the kickboxing classes, thank you Coach Andy for getting me started and continuing to help me progress!

My gratitude towards Coach Jean is endless. Everytime I see her at the gym, I thank her for the valuable lessons she taught me when she was training me. Her passion, relentlessness, and depth of knowledge is what allowed me to break physical and mental barriers that were holding me back from hitting my targets. Thank you for everything, Coach Jean. read more

UFC gym Honolulu is awesome. The staff is great. Training with coach Andy has really level up my fitness and push me beyond my fitness goals. read more

Coach Andy is so patient and great to work with for training! I definitely recommend his one on one sessions.

Whatever your doubts, do not worry! Just do it! Not only is this gym great but it's the workers that make it even greater. Coach Andy is absolutely incredible. He taught me with skills and passion. I learned so much from him. He always gave 100%. Coach Andy is also full of information. He goes above and beyond for those he's working with. I also always appreciated the atmosphere. The other coaches and workers always smiled and said hi, some even knew me by name. Definitely worth investing in! read more

Every time I come out to visit, I get a week or month pass to come here. Since I'm on California time, I like that they are open 24 hours because I usually wake up at 3 am! On this last visit, they have done some moving around of the equipment and have new equipment as well. Everything is so bright and shiney and great to work out on! They still have the same great vibe and most of the members and staff are friendly. Definitely worth checking out. If you come early the parking lot is full, the meters don't start until 8 am. Parking is a bit of a challenge but at certain times, you can find a space. Mahalo UFC BJ Penn! read more

UFC GYM Honolulu - Trainers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Management is terrible. They lie, intimidate, threaten, play games, and steal your money. don't go here. Don't expect to get what you pay for here, and when you try to cancel, don't do any deals with the devil, just GTFO ASAP. read more

I'm a fitness girly through and through so even while on vacation in Hawaii I wanted to stay on top of my workouts. I called ahead on Wednesday morning to ask about their day pass and week pass prices and honestly it was super reasonable. My boyfriend and I went in mid-morning, were greeted at the front desk, gave our info, and signed up for the week pass. The gym itself? Pure fire. I personally love gyms that feel packed with equipment, not messy but full. This place had everything: multiple squat racks, tons of cardio machines, plenty of cable setups, and a turf area. On top of that, they have the UFC vibe going with boxing and jiu-jitsu areas, which gave it great energy. We only ended up working out here two days because wedding events took over, but those sessions were amazing. Both me and my boyfriend left saying we would absolutely come back. If you're in Honolulu and need a solid gym while traveling this one is 10/10. I'll definitely be back on my next trip.

Mangers are extremely arrogant and rude. WiFi sucks. Arrogant mangers and manipulative. Canceled my membership so upset with how rude they were on multiple occasions. Brought my 16 year old brother in (who lived on island) and they tried to talk to him alone about membership. He's a kid- no adult should need to talk to a kid alone about buying a package with out guardian. Completely not ok. read more

The management is absolutely and utterly unprofessional and scammy. I know of 3 different people, 4 including myself that have been scammed out of money and lied to by staff. I was told I was paying a down payment of $200 for my membership months ago but what I was actually paying for was personal training sessions which I never requested and would have never bought. I have been requesting a refund for months which I was promised months ago by a manager which ended up quitting (I'm assuming because of the unprofessionalism) and have been downplayed and ignored time and time again. Oh and, The gym itself is crowded all the time and smells awful. It is not nearly, in a million years worth $40 a month lol. I would NOT recommend coming here unless you want to be scammed, disregarded, and disrespected. Also, as a woman - I have been recorded and followed around the gym several times by creepy men. Go to planet fitness instead. read more

Overall, the gym has great equipment, is clean, and offers plenty of space. However, heaven forbid you're a deployed Soldier. I went on a 9-month deployment and spoke with UFC Gym management beforehand to freeze my account. Per their policy, they could only freeze it for up to six months, after which I would need to call back and request another freeze. Six months into my deployment, I was frequently visiting bunkers, and needless to say, my UFC Gym membership was not at the forefront of my mind. After my 9 month deployment,  I returned to the island I discovered that I owed approximately $460 because the gym had resumed charging me after the initial freeze expired. By that point, four months had passed. I tried speaking with the current manager to work something out. An employee told me to pay half of the balance and that they would "work out" the other half. That never happened. It just doesn't sit well with me that if I had been killed during deployment, UFC Gym would have been perfectly willing to keep charging my account. Before I had this issue fully resolved, I was sent on orders for another three months. This time, I made every effort to coordinate beforehand. I emailed Tiffany, spoke with the front desk, and even called after I had left. I was confident everything had been taken care of. When I returned three months later, I found that my membership had been canceled because the account had been sent to collections. I owed another $450. The employee at the front desk told me that if I paid $200, they would waive the remaining balance. I agreed, only to be lectured afterward: "Don't wait until after you're gone to freeze your account." I smiled and replied, "I agree. That's why I tried to take care of it before I left." Great gym. Poor handling of deployed military members. read more

Coach Jason is awesome! He is super welcoming, very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, friendly, and awesome at breaking down and explaining techniques and principles. He is very observant and goes above and beyond what most instructors do in terms of actively approaching individuals with helpful feedback, and is very patient with everyone. He's also hilarious and very laidback so he promotes a fun and welcoming environment. Him and his son Gage make sure everyone is taken care of and will pair higher belts with those that need help, and watch out for everyone so nobody gets hurt. Not only is it fun and safe, it is a challenging workout and I always end up learning something useful. Thank you! read more

You will wait over 20 mins for a parking stall unless you pay for parking down the street. Parking lot/entrance is covered in trash The bathrooms are horrendous Urinal was broken Staff is meh You have to wait for machines 7am is a decent time to go when it's not too crowded and maybe 2pm or 3pm. There's a gym 2 blocks away called Ukiyo. I ended signing up there and cancelled my membership at UFC bc of reasons above. 2 stars instead of 1 bc the equipment just got upgraded read more

Not my favorite gym, went a few times since moving to the east side. Parking is terrible. Sometimes finding parking took longer than my workouts. Staff is okay, but the cleanliness is bad. Machines worn out, the dumbbells have this thick layer of dead skin or something feels nasty. Men's restroom is filthy. The second you walk in it smells like body odor pee, and idk what else. I hold it in and just wait to go home to use restroom it's that bad. Switched to another gym and couldn't be happier. I liked UFC Waikele but this one is a health hazard. read more

After getting my and my things stolen from UFC gym, they will not cooperate with the police investigation. Nor will they provide any of the camera evidence. Detective said that she's never had them cooperate with any investigation. UFC gym doesn't care about you personally, your property or your safety. They just want your money. Wild levels of incompetence in management. Zero sense of urgency. They just don't care. read more

UFC GYM Honolulu - My bag was stolen out of the locker, robbed of all of its valuables and left on the toilet. Great gym. - Trainers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Had my membership since they opened and the parking was the biggest obstacle for me not utilizing this gym. Thank God for the other gyms. This gym sucks for parking and the cleanliness of the gym also sucks. I'd love to see them clean up and build a parking garage for members only. I guess you have to be within walking distance of this place or uber it, because you'll be waiting forever to get a parking. The staff is great, but that's it! Don't waste your time going here, try UFC's other locations. It's much cleaner and the parking isn't as insane. read more

We pay for one crazy faculty fee! For the gym to just stay nasty. Machines stay functional. But the restrooms and trash bins be overflowing. I don't see no staff cleaning at night, I left a clean paper towel crumpled up to see if they would remove it and it was still there next week. Men's bathroom smells like sweat, moisture, mold, piss and heat. Trash also always overflowing. Some Members no more respect too just trashing the place. Crazy kine cans and bottles everywhere. Feel like gotta work out in one Tyvek suit. If we paying for faculty fee, at least keep the place sanitized and clean. Come on UFC we know you guys gots the money. read more

I've been with UFC for 3 weeks or so now and it's been good. If you have flexibility in the day to work out (to avoid peak parking times) it'll work great. For onboarding, it was clear they are interested in people who actually consider fitness. I had a training session with Coach Jamie last week that was great. I don't have the budget for a trainer and when she offered an initial consultation I wanted to be transparent. She respected the honesty and still set up a date to meet. She spoke with me for 10-15 minutes to understand my foundation and where I needed help. We hit a work out I wasn't super comfortable doing on my own but after her instruction I feel more confident and comfortable at the gym. There's plenty of reviews on here that share management is manipulative or intimidating, but Jamie didn't give me any semblance of that at all. Honestly a big reason I will be continuing my membership. My experience has been solid thus far. 4 stars cause the water bottle refill stations are faulty/broken. Bags, machines, sauna + buddy pass has all been great! read more

The parking situation is insane. And it's DIRTY as hell. And the music is way too loud, you can hear it thru noise cancelling headphones. The childcare center is great. But I cannot get over how gross this gym is especially the showers and locker rooms?? Ew ew ew. Please give this place a good scrub and I will literally update to 5 stars. Pls stop having ur employees texting and calling long time members constantly to upsell contracts and personal training packages... and put them to work cleaning these dirty bathrooms PLEASE read more

I first signed up with Juan, who made the process of snagging a deal pretty simple. He held the offer past its expiration date, which I definitely appreciated since I don't like the feeling of rushing a decision to commit to a gym long-term. Yes, parking is brutal. But, the gym is always open, and they have deals that kind of entice you to commit to a long-term plan, which I think is a win-win for both parties. The gym itself is large, and it goes back pretty far. The depth of the gym makes it a bit of a stretch to walk to and from the entrance to the back, but with its high ceilings, I do appreciate that it doesn't feel too claustrophobic. They have pretty much every machine, free weight, and other equipment you'll need, so no complaints there. I'd just say it could use a tidy up a bit more frequently. They just got new equipment in the past month and it shows. I didn't feel like I'd been walking into an older gym despite it being around for some time. There's also no funk or smell to the gym, although sometimes they could run the AC a bit more often as it gets stuffy easily. My recommendation is to never go during rush hour. If you can go at a time where there's fewer people, DO THIS for the sake of parking and having access to the equipment you need. All things considered, it's convenient for anyone around the Kaka'ako area to walk to it, but parking can be a nightmare. I'd recommend parking a few streets over if you don't want to deal with it. read more

I am 84 years old and there are a lot of young people but every time I go they welcome me. They always open any doors for me I am on a walker. My couch, Jean is amazing! She knows exactly how to help me. I have become so much stronger since she has been helping me. When I am on some of the equipment if I need help...I don't have to ask, they just come and help me. The staff is always ao happy and loving. I feel so welcome there. And the equipment is also amazing. Their treadmills are so easy to use. I love it! read more

Told me to come in for a day pass and then wouldn't let me workout when I got there. Complete waste of time and rude staff.

Facility is like any other gym. It's well kept but their app that they advertise when you first sign up really needs work. So does corporate. I've asked and called for 2 weeks to change my payment to another card because no one had told me that the app is basically useless in changing payment methods so they charged the wrong card. I had some bills to pay but had to rotate my finances a little because I had to pay their promo membership which is a steal but still quite expensive. I don't think it's the front staffs fault. They said corporate is the one that handles it but corporate is absolutely lacking in solving this. Im not even saying I won't pay. I just wanted a different card to be charged. After my 2 years here, never signing up ever again. Such a hassle. Better to do at home workouts. Tsk read more

UFC GYM Honolulu - Building - Trainers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mmm. Great location in the heart of Kaka'ako. As usual this is a 24-hour gym available to its members and their guests. Parking available on the side of the building or else its metered within the next so many blocks. The location is set up weird as its very long. Lots of machine and useful equipment with a Kids club, octagon in the middle, and some food counters in the front. Bathrooms were semi clean. A few weren't operational, neither was the sauna room. No private areas to get dressed. I did appreciate the hair dryers provided. Not my favorite UFC location but it serves its purpose if you need it. read more

I would say the parking is kind of a nightmare which is what keeps me from coming to this gym regularly. It's kind of an awkward set up compared to the Mililani gym. Long and narrow however, they have so much more machines to choose from here so it's nice to change it up every once in a while. read more
