Horrible gym. It’s like a little high school clique. Most of the trainers are unskilled. They participate in a two week kickboxing training and that’s who you’re paying $150 dollars to train you or your kids.You’ll have a BJJ guy training you kickboxing and the guy can’t throw a proper punch or kick to save his life.
Few exceptions like Troy who’s a legit good trainer. The rest are incompetent clowns who will have you doing silly and inconvenient workouts to make you feel like your getting your moneys worth. You’ll see them on their phones if it’s your kid their training and you aren’t there.
By all means do not bring your significant other to the gym. Your SO will get unsolicited texts like mine did from weirdos like Rachel and Eric. Even if they paid us to be trained we wouldn’t want it. That’s how unsolicited it was.
You’ll have trainers like Nikki and Rachel trying to bully your SO discreetly because they’re in some silent competition with her completely unprovoked.
Good luck cancelling your membership, they’ll tell you they wrote it in the notes and gaslight you later that it isn’t there. Always email them or certified mail and never keep an active card on file. If you do, cancel the card with your bank right after otherwise they’ll charge you to death.
Some of these people will make you feel like you way to catch a felony so If you want a peaceful workout go to 24 hr fitness unless you want to beef with people living in a van.

They incorrectly charged my sister an extra month. Took be ~20 calls over the course of 4-5 months to sort this out.

16 calls since I started to take notes of conversations to prevent getting random incorrect information from people. Log attached.

Melanie from the staff is great. The interface with the corporate office is terrible and yields a pathetic customer experience.
Unfortunately this review goes here because this is my interface to this system.

The gym itself is fine as long as you don't get billed incorrectly. Take a long time to recover from that.

This gym has been a huge disappointment. I joined specifically for the wrestling classes, but they were canceled without any warning. When I tried to cancel my membership, the staff was completely unhelpful. I've called multiple times, and each time they simply say they "can't help" me and refuse to process the cancellation.

My billing date is the 19th, and I believe they are intentionally delaying my cancellation to charge me for another month of a service they no longer provide. It's incredibly frustrating to pay for classes that don't exist and to be met with such a lack of support. This is a very poorly managed facility. I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

I signed up for the Ufc Gym with a personal trainer. Her name is nikki I’m disabled right now. I’m an ironworker. I got hurt at work and I have dropfoot so I never really learned to work out because I was always working at work. I’ve been paying all month for the gym membership and she canceled on me to be my personal trainer. Left me a text and then I explained to her I just I just I need to know how to work out this muscle on my Of it and then she thumbs up it in the text message and then I called the gym right now asking like when are we gonna keep texting or you know like are we gonna set a new appointment? What’s going on and then she would never respond so I just called their main office. She was extremely rude. She hung up on me. She pretty much called me a liar and said I don’t have training Mike then why are you texting me saying your rescheduling our training session today and then she’s like I’m sorry I have to go to a meeting. Click hung up on me.

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!

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.

Don’t come here if you want to lose a lot of money for little rewards. I could already do 2000 push-ups everyday before I went here and it’s a waste of time. Go to a real gym unless you want to be a professional fighter. BUT IF NOT DONT JOIN HERE, THEY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO CANCEL LIKE IDIOTS.

I called to ask about the drop-in fee, and when I tried to clarify whether the $25 was for a single day or multiple days, the person on the phone got rude and impatient. Instead of simply answering my question, he responded with unnecessary attitude, saying I had asked twice already, when I was just trying to understand the pricing. As someone genuinely interested in checking out the gym, I expected basic respect and clear communication. If this is how they treat potential customers over a simple question, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

It’s not a 24 hour gym, though the website and their door hours say otherwise. Friday they close at 8 pm, Saturday & Sunday at 6 pm. It’s a big gym but the equipment is limited to one machine each, not multiples as you’d expect for a warehouse type space. There is only one bench press!
Gym bags are left everywhere on the floor, next to the machines as people work out. Barely no one removes their weights after themselves, leaving them on the machines and waking away, nor it is enforced by management. People work out shirtless or in flipflops, pretty gross and unsanitary.
Staff & managers just hang out up front all day, taking on the phone or chit chatting.
It’s not a bad gym but not great either.

Could have more equipment for lifting but overall has the gist of anything you need. There aren't really any older people that are just sitting at the same machine so if you need one it should be ready quickly. The massage chairs are a bonus and the sauna is a little cramped but good overall a great gym that isn't overcrowded

The first part of this review was written by my father Khairulla Saidullayev. Here is a continuation:

But if the children already have their own gi in which they trained before, why should we buy another gi from their gym?
We decided to buy one gi and there were different colors (blue, black, white) we chose black, to which the manager Nick said that black is more expensive, although on their website all the prices are the same and do not depend on the color. As a result, we bought a gi for a 7-year-old child for $90
I also planned to buy a kimono for a 14-year-old teenager, but they told me that a kimono for his age costs 165
I think this is expensive, on Amazon you can buy a gi for $40-$50 besides, we already have our own gis.
Perhaps for someone all these prices do not matter, but for my family where I am the only one working, these amounts matter.

Tomorrow we will try again to find out how to switch to annual payment and cancel the monthly payment. Based on the result of this standard question, I will definitely update my review.

I am writing a review so that the heads of this business pay attention to the managers and conduct training with them to improve their competence in standard processes when "UFC Gym Costa Mesa" clients contact them.
Managers are practically unable to answer questions over the phone and only indicate the amount of $ 29, which is indicated on their website. But when you arrive at the gym, you are met by another manager Nick, who talks about completely different prices.
I have no complaints about the trainers and the quality of the exercise machines, all the conditions here are good for doing sports.
I am writing everything in numbers specifically so that everyone who reads this review understands what they will encounter, since the site only indicates one price of $ 29 to attract attention, but the prices that you will encounter upon arrival at the gym will be very different. I bought my whole family of 6 people a membership in the club:
For membership in the club a one-time fee of $100 + for adults $134 monthly, but they charge immediately for the first month $134 + for the last month $134.
For a child $99 monthly, also $99 for the first month and 99 for the last month,
And they also told me that in a couple of months for each member of the club they will charge another $50, which I will pay annually.
So, for example, I bought one of my sons an adult membership since he is 19 years old for the amount of $367 (100 membership fee + $134 first month + $134 last month and after a while they will deduct another $50 annual payment)
Since our family is large and it is not profitable for me to pay monthly, we decided to switch to paying an annual subscription, but information about the annual payment is not indicated anywhere.
We had to wait some time until the managers Nick find out how much the annual subscription costs. In the end, manager Nick told us that an annual subscription would cost $560 for adults and $870 for children, hence my question why it was more expensive for children than for adults, to which I was told that it was more difficult to work with children than with adults, but why then does a monthly subscription for children cost $99 and $134 for adults, and an annual membership for adults is cheaper than an annual one for children.
We did not receive an answer to this.
That is, it is not difficult to work with children monthly, but it is difficult to work during the year, therefore it is more expensive, there is no logic in this.
But the problem is different, we asked on Monday, February 17, 2025, to tell us exactly how we can switch to annual payment, to which manager Nick said that he does not have this information and he needs to discuss it with management and on Thursday, February 20, he will give us an answer.
Now is the time when there is mobile communication and other means of communication in order to quickly resolve any issues in which clients are interested. I think this is a standard process that exists in any business where a client switches from monthly payment to annual payment in order to save money.
Today is Thursday, February 20, the manager Nick still does not know how the process of switching from monthly to annual payment occurs and said that he will solve this issue perhaps tomorrow.
I repeat, in other companies this is a standard process, there is no need to drag out time and make us wait for an answer, if this manager Nick cannot solve such simple ones, it is necessary to appoint a manager who will promptly solve these issues.
Many negative reviews written about this gym indicate that I am right, that there are no problems with the gym, there is a problem with the managers who are focused only on maximum earnings from the client, in this gym there is no transparency in prices, so the prices are taken from unknown sources and they are different. I needed to buy a gi for children for a group class, the managers of the gym require buying a gi from them at an inflated price.

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.

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.

I wanted new equipment, new atmosphere, and a new experience to start the year off right. The General Manager, Jay, helped me with the set up, the tour, and the experience I was looking for. I even got a free shirt and a free Personal Training session with my new membership. Not to mention the great deal he offered for signing up this month. Really looking forward to this!!!

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.

UFC Gym is an outstanding choice for youth training, offering a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids can build strength, confidence, and discipline. The gym provides a variety of classes that focus on fitness, martial arts, and self-defense, making it a great place for young athletes to develop new skills while staying active and engaged.

**Coach Victor** is fantastic for one-on-one training sessions with younger athletes. He knows how to make each workout challenging yet enjoyable, helping kids develop good form and a solid foundation in strength and conditioning. Coach Victor is patient, approachable, and knows exactly how to motivate kids to push themselves while also ensuring they have fun. His positive attitude helps build not just physical strength, but also mental resilience, which is important for young athletes.

For youth interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, **Coach Chris** is the perfect instructor. His classes are designed to be both educational and engaging for kids of all skill levels. Coach Chris breaks down complex BJJ techniques in a way that's easy to understand and encourages a collaborative team environment, making every class both fun and instructional. His approach helps kids build self-discipline, focus, and respect for others, all while learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu.

The UFC Gym’s clean, modern facilities are well-equipped for younger athletes, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. The community of coaches and fellow students is supportive and encourages growth, making it an ideal place for kids to learn, grow, and stay active. Whether your child is interested in getting in shape, learning self-defense, or exploring martial arts, UFC Gym and its amazing coaches—especially Coach Victor and Coach Chris—are the perfect choice for youth training. Highly recommend! My all three kids are happy to be part of UFC.

UFC Costa Mesa is hands down the best gym I’ve ever belonged to. The classes, both workout and martial arts, offer an incredible value that’s hard to find anywhere else. The coaches are amazing, and while some come and go (as is common in the industry), the overall vibe of the gym remains steady and positive. They have plans that allow you to access alk the UFC gyms nationwide.

Everyone here is super supportive of your goals, and I’ve made so many friends since joining. The community aspect of this gym is something special. Plus, it’s owned by UFC greats Cub Swanson and Michael Bisping, which makes it even cooler. Cub often trains here with his entire team, so you can really feel the presence and energy in the gym.

I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more for anyone looking to take their fitness or martial arts journey to the next level!

Only used the gym for kick boxing lessons which was great, but when I tried canceling my membership since I never used the gym it became a hassle. I paid for months I didn’t even used the gym along with a maintenance fee. Super unprofessional when trying to cancel my membership. The fact that I was dealing with a sick husband and didn’t used the gym all I ask was that they wave the last month fee since I have not used the Gym one time. I paid everything else and never used it. Super cold and I regret ever signing up to this gym. Taking advantage of someone dealing with a sick husband is cold and heartless even after they paid for time they didn’t use.

Do better.

I hung up on the rep due to being extremely rude!

If I could give a zero I would!

First off there employees are severe in their pushienes to have you buy more classes/ private classes ( to the point that the only way they'll stop is by saying you out right do not have the money to afford extra classes). secondly if you wish to cancel, they wont cancel. Currently a year out of leaving the gym and the past four months new charges from their gym started.

Coach Richie Munguia is an OG who just transferred here to UFC costa Mesa. I've trained with him at UFC HB since before covid and now fight under him resulting in 4-0 thus far (3 kickboxing 1 boxing) He really knows his stuff. He also teaches MMA Jiu-jitsu, strength & conditioning, muay thai, wrestling, dieting/meal plan/supplement intake & recovery. Stoked to have him over at CM location to accompany the other great coaches 💪 💪 💪

I've been with the UFC gym community for over 2 years now. Joining UFC was one of the best decision of my life, one of my favorite reason to go is for the skills and technique classes taught by Coach Richie. He helped me hone my skills in kickboxing, as well as becoming more comfortable with the class and with the team, especially in a predominantly male sports. I have also taken one on one classes with Coach Richie, and I could not recommend more. There's really no cheat sheet on how to learn martial art besides consistency, but maybe some one on one would help accelerate it just a little bit.

The gym is nice and has everything I need. I’m mainly there for coach Richie. He’s THE guy when it comes to any combat sport you’re interested either boxing, Muay Thai, mma or bjj. He is well knowledge in all fields. If you want to dial in your nutrition or improve your workout regimen he is well educated in that as well. I don’t miss any of his classes, he has good attention to detail and also bring a good intensity and vibe to all of his classes. For sure hit him up when attending this gym!!

No issues with the gym itself, my issue is that i have cancelled my membership and I’m still being charged. After doing everything I needed to do to cancel I was told that since in my contract they already charged me a “last month fee” I would not be charged again, I have that in writing. Last month I was charged again and after contacting them again with no solution I was able to reverse the charge with my bank, and again UFC charged me. The woman I was emailing told me she has submitted a refund request and it is pending, so I have been waiting and nothing has happened. On top of all that I see my membership cancellation is still pending, I read the contract over and over it is pretty basic, so it makes no sense why this is happening, I have tried to remove my CC from the system and I won’t let me, I never thought that I’d have to cancel CC in order to get out of a gym membership, I noticed this is happening to other people as well. No one is being helpful, signing up takes 5 minutes but canceling takes forever. The definition of a scam.

UFC gym is a scam. Don’t trust them with your credit card. They will literally steal money from your account, sign you up for classes you never agreed to etc.

i used to be a member. I was offered a free boxing class, and was charged every week for months for classes I never signed up for.

I tried to quit, and they make that impossible too. Manager must be on duty, and manager is never available. Otherwise they force you to MAIL them a signed contact to quit.

If you cancel the card on file, they will send the bill to collections, get harassed by debt collectors, and damage your credit score. I lost thousands of dollars and missed opportunity due to damaged credit score.

UFC gym is a disgrace.

I attended a demo for personal training at this location with Rachel Kawa. She was very knowledgeable, kind and respectful. You can tell she is very passionate about health and nutrition and she is a professional at her craft. She made sure I was comfortable as It was my first time meeting with a personal trainer. She herself is a power lifter and I could tell so I knew I was in good hands. If anyone is looking to get a personal trainer she is the right person for the job.

Fantastic gym with great coaches, managers, and people! Aden Salah-Hadad is a fantastic coach, I would still be training there with him if I didn't move! Adin the sales guy is great too and the Manager Jazmyne Hodges was very helpful! Highly recommend!

Purchased a one month membership and was quite clear about this from the outset as I know how corporate gyms are with their billing. After one month, I was charged another month. They were not responsive to multiple emails and I could not call as I was overseas. Finally had to cancel my credit card and order another after I was charged for a third month.

Otherwise good layout and friendly staff.

I don’t really do reviews however with what has happened recently it’s only fair.
Purchased a UFC gym membership and everything was fine, until I went to cancel. Nancy/John emailed over the cancellation form, I completed it, emailed it back over to John zabotta and John never forwarded over to Nancy. I realized my credit card was charged for over 6 months of use @ $59.
Now here our other issues, I called multiple times telling them I cancelled and emailed over the cancellation form, they gaslight me saying, “they never got it”.
Okay cool, I’ll walk in and do it right? Walk over to John and he pulls up an email I sent him 6 months ago about cancelling and he never sent it over to Nancy - operations manager? Not sure if that’s her title since she doesn’t know much but she’s nice so there’s that. Just like everyone else is saying, they will actually take your money even when you cancel.
I’m not surprised if a lawsuit comes, especially since they are doing this to a lot of people in a pandemic and it’s the whole “you have to go through corporate” - corporate doesn’t actually have anyone who answers the phone FYI.

Edit- they ended up refunding me for the 6 months I was charged after I cancelled however it was a hassle and I was dedicated to get it back. Nothing against anyone at this gym, just very unprofessional.

Update 9/10/2021
So there was an unrelated issue with another member at a location I had never been to that somehow got linked to my cc,without my authorization. After being karen-y about it, I've got my money back. Now I'm waiting for the investigation results (why this happened, how this happened, and what preventive measures are going to be implemented).

Update 08/12/2021
Received verbal confirmation that my request would be honored. Will change rating once I can confirm my account isn't subject to subsequent charges.
+1 star for expeditiously addressing this

This review is only about cancelations.

I have been coming to this gym for about 2 years. One of the most striking things about this location in particular is the level of athleticism that a majority of the members have. The coaches are pretty dope as well.
I have never had an issue until today when I tried to cancel my pt sessions. I was told that I wouldn't be able to cancel until i decided on a replacement option. What? Why the pressure? Why is my request an inadequate justification? It was very uncomfortable. Please consider revising this policy of pressuring members to provide justification of cancelling and requiring us to renew.

If this is rectified, this review will be updated accordingly.

Great gym. There are alot of people here who take fitness seriously. They go 5 days a week no problem. The trainers are in great shape and run some fun classes if that's what you like. It's the only gyn I can go to late at night and not have many people there. The front desk will always say hi and remember your name. When you go to competitor gyms they are over crowded and people hog equipment. Come on in and enjoy a serious but fun atmosphere to change your physical appearance. 10 stars for ufc costa mesa 👍

This used to be a great place to workout, then the owner sold it and the new owner couldn't find a grain of the sand on the beach if it was sitting in his lap. The trainers all seem great, no complaints there. Not nearly enough weight lifting equipment. The clowns who workout here will take up 2 machines at a time, or sit on a piece of equipment and chat with their yolked buddy for 15 minutes at a time, so you can never workout on the gear you want. The front office is a disaster. Called to cancel my membership two months ago. Told me I had to come in, told them I moved out of state. Sent me a contact to e-mail. Took me 10 tries to get a response. She finally responded and said I have to cancel within 30 days or I will be charged. I said if you charge me another month after you took 3 weeks to respond I'm going to be angry. I asked her to please cancel my account, she never did and was just charged another month a solid 45 days after I requested to have my membership cancelled (because the place has gone downhill). Anyway, her name was Nancy, and she is as worthless as the owner. You're better off getting a membership at the YMCA. Same price, but much better environment and the front office is coherent. Plus, you know. It's UFC. The gym is already douchey enough on it's own.

DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM. First off, the coaches are 100% there for a paycheck they don't care about you at all which is why I originally wanted to leave. I get a call from the gym saying my payment didn't go through so I tell them I do not plan on returning and if I can just cancel my membership over the phone. They say yes get my name down and they tell me i'm good. 9 months later I get a call from a debt collector saying because I didn't show up in person to cancel I owe them 900 dollars even though the employee told me everything I was fine. Such a scam go to real gym instead.

I've worked out at hundreds of gyms in California, Kansas, Nevada, Illinois... etc... This is hands down the best facility (per member) I've been to. The Membership Manager (or seemed like one) Was kind, patient, attentive, and very chill. NOT a sales pitch or a forced to join situation. This place has tons of things for all body types and goal types. Fighting equipment, lifting, cardio, etc... Im on a 7 day pass and i am DEFINITELY going back tonight. If you're thinking about a gym near this area, this is the one. Especially for kids to learn self defense, or to lose baby weight. The coaches seemed locked in and focused. I lifted and practiced ground n pound and i was gassed. Dont be afraid to come here if you're new they'll help you. Very good experience, and NOT packed !! (5pm) !!

As someone who has been going to gyms for fifty pus years, I must say UFC Costa Mesa has it all. From the managers Raffy and Mike who make sure all your needs are met and keep the place on top of it's game . To Jake and Coach Brady who oversee some of the best trainers and martial arts instructors on the planet. As someone who enjoys martial arts, yoga, cardio equipment and some resistance exercise, UFC has it all! In addition the UFC CM stays current with all the latest classes and relevant seminar's. Whether anti bullying self defense for kids or ladies self defense for the street. The UFC can help you no matter what your age or fitness level! Five star folks in a first class training facility. My kinda place!

UFC Gym Costa Mesa, although small, treats me like a family. Unlike the unfamiliarity of a more larger commercial gym, the members here are a very tight knit group of individuals. No matter which class I attend whether it be a DUT, kickboxing cardio or BJJ, every coach treats me like family and thats the aspect that truly motivates me to keep coming back to this gym. No egos or attitudes, friendly and helpful gym staff, UFC GYM Costa Mesa is a fantastic place that I call home.
