The classes are amazing and at various levels of difficulty that hold you accountable. I can thank the exciting variety of classes to my athletic consistency. it is a real community here where you will make friends and engage in the various fundraisers and community events they host. Definitely a stand out experience from any other gym ive been to. BLOWS THEM OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!!!! if you go, TELL THEM SOPHIE SENT YOU!!!!

Big shout out to the UFC Gym Southington! I joined the gym in December and I absolutely love it there. Everyone is so friendly and it feels like home. I recently started one on one Wing Chun classes with Coach Mike. Coach Mike is very professional and is probably the best coach I have ever worked with. If you are thinking of joining a gym this is the place for you!

I had a a very poor experience with the management at UFC. I HAVE NEVER SET FOOT AT THIS GYM!!. The gym kept charging me and were inconsiderate and inconsistent with their management team after I wanted to cancel and requested to canceled. Management had PROMISING FALSE INFORMATION THAT MY MEMBERSHIP was canceled. BRANDI WAS HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING AND KEPT INTERRUPTING ME AFTER I WAS WOULD ASK QUESTION TO DELETE THIS DEBT. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO HEADQUARTERS . This place does bad business!!!!

At this point I'm ready to call the BBB and file a complaint because everything that is being done is completely unethical. I use to be a member of crunch fitness in Waterbury, and without my knowledge I was transfered to UFC gym in Southington once they closed down. I called and spoke with Martone who told me that he understood my frustrations they have been having tons of issues with the whole switch and that they were told by crunch that only the people who had agreed to be transferred would be. He sounded very understanding when I called, and told me that my account would be canceled and I wouldn't be charged going forward. Well a month later not only do I see one charge on my card from them for 27.64, but then another charge for 63.96. I called on June 24th and again spoke with Martone and he told me that he was really sorry for the inconvenience and how they were having trouble with the company handling the finances but that he would get in touch with them and get the charges canceled and sent back to me and here we are on July 14th with NO REFUND still. I just feel like I keep getting the runaround from them. They just tell me what I want to hear.

It takes a lot to get my blood boiling at my ripe old age of 32 but integrity is important to me

Guess how I found out about this place?? My credit card statement! Never stepped foot in "UFC Gym Southington", in fact never even heard of it or knew it existed until I saw that they were charging me for a membership, to their gym..... in Connecticut...... and I live in FLORIDA and haven't lived in Connecticut since 2020.

Of course, I'm sure like plenty others, my initial frustration would be with Crunch Waterbury with whom I had (and cancelled) a membership with several years ago before I moved back down to Florida and re-opened my Crunch membership here - I was so confused about how I could even have two memberships for the same gym, but apparently some Crunch locations are corporate and some are private owned franchise locations and there's zero interoperability. Seems silly. Whatever, so, I should have dug deeper but whenever I did question charges, I was reassured numerous times that I only had one active membership. Again, zero interoperability. Someone didn't think that one through.

What most recently brought Crunch Waterbury to my attention was that I started receiving emails from them ("we're concerned" 🙄) and that they couldn't collect payment... which was infuriating to learn that they still had been charging me up until then, and I also wondered why they suddenly weren't able to charge me but I figured that maybe it was because they had an expired card on file or something, considering as I said that it had been several years since I've lived there. When I finally DID realize and try to start addressing it with calls, and emails - crickets, and crickets. I suppose it isn't surprising that they didn't address anything or communicate at all as they were circling the drain.

I guess it's just part of the gym world and acquiring a gym that's totally in the toilet but I just want to know the thought process of these lovely UFC whatever gym people when they were inputting my stuff into their system.... did they just like, GUESS at what the updated expiration date would be for the credit card I had provided 4-5 years ago when I lived there? Did they wonder if I even wanted a membership at this UFC gym? Did they care either way? Could they see that I hadn't stepped foot in Crunch Waterbury since 2020? Are there any ethics involved in the world of gym ownership or is it just a free for all?

I canceled my membership with Crunch YEARS ago, yes it was soon after they closed and then re-opened after Covid and everything was a mess and clearly they are an even bigger mess which is why they didn't make it. Obviously Crunch kept my initial paperwork and never processed my cancelation, but I really am intrigued to see what type of signed agreement this place has or doesn't have that's authorizing them to charge my credit card, once again for a membership with a gym in a state that I don't live in, have never stepped foot in, and didn't even know existed. It should be a fun learning experience with my bank on Monday.

Great facility, plenty of weights and cardio options. Very clean locker rooms and workout areas. Recovery room is very helpful too. The best part is the classes that they offer. All the trainers are knowledgeable and they will push you but having other members going through the same workout which really creates a sense of accountability and community to help you finish until the end. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who is serious about making a change in their health and getting fit.

Coach Mike Doyle has an extensive knowledge of fitness and martial arts. He takes the time to break down and explain techniques and form to individuals during both group classes and personal training sessions, allowing them to progress and reach their goals. His friendly and energetic demeanor keeps class exciting and fun.

The new manager Marton is absolutely amazing, he helped me out with so many payment issues that I had since before he became the manager and after a debt collector called me I was able to speak with him about it and he immediately called them on my behalf to clean the issue up. UFC Gym Southington is in amazing hands

I have to personally thank Marton for my amazing experience thus far at UFC Gym. I was nervous to get back into the gym after my car accidents but he made me feel completely at ease! He took the time to personally listen to my concerns and hesitations with using professional gym equipment with a compromised back. He even took the time out of his schedule to show me different movements to help strengthen my core/back that already has built my confidence in continuing my fitness journey. You can tell he takes pride in UFC gym with how attentive he is to every client that walks in and how he ensures everything is super clean and inviting to use. Thank you so much Marton for all you do and being such an asset to UFC. The UFC Gym franchise company should be proud to have someone like Marton representing their brand

I want to start by saying this gym currently has a handful of amazing trainers, but are stuck working under poor management. Staff turnover is common in a gym, but what ive experienced here is by far the worst.

Poor reviews are starting to appear on google, and management has taken the time to provide their own positive reviews, Please scroll and read Heather LaCerva review. She is management and what she advertises is not what the gym provides.

Any positive review this gym has received is from almost a year ago. They are focused on acquiring new members only and not providing adequate services to current paying members. The UFC classes provided are inconsistent, with schedule changes occurring every few weeks I've read a few reviews and noticed management indicates the gym is not a fighting gym but also a gym where you can learn to fight..... that is conflicting information for a gym named UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), and who advertised boxing and kickboxing. Please note: Boxing and kickboxing classes are only offered on select days of the week, or are not offered after 5pm.

If you address your concerns with management, you will go unheard or provided some excuse. I believe previous staff members have taken/provided member information, utilizing it in an unprofessional and borderline illegal manner. Unfortunately, this gym is moving in a sad direction. I think if they cater to the correct demographic they would do well. If i was the owner of this gym I would consider speaking with members to find out what is actually going on at this location.

I've been working out at the UFC Southington gym since January 2023 and the energy level is very high in the challenging classes with positive vibes from the staff and members. I love the balance in the classes with HIIT, Boxing, weights and body weight exercises. I really like the circuit classes; they challenge all muscle groups with intensity along with the coaches pushing YOU to be your best! After class, you feel accomplished, energized ,amazing and motivated to take another class and another class 🥊 With Heather, the GM of UFC Southington gym and all her positive vibes and impressive background in health and fitness, you will be in good hands to help and assist you in your health and fitness goals!!

Honestly, so unbelievably disappointed with the way our situation has been handled by this gym. My husband and I had been looking for months for a class for our 10 year old daughter to help her with her confidence issues. We did a trial of the youth class on Monday nights there and the instructor was AMAZING. She even came out her shell with the first class! After discussing the schedule with the woman up front we decided to sign her up. After her only attending 2 classes we were then informed that the class on Monday nights would no longer be offered for her age group. I explained to the woman at the front that it was the only reason we had signed up and that was the class that had worked with our schedule. She shrugged and said that my daughter could be a helper in the little kid class. That is not what we signed up for, to pay almost 100 dollars a month for my daughter to be a helper. I asked what we could do,.maybe pay an early termination fee? Since she can no longer attend and I was told there is nothing that can be done! I have to pay almost 100 dollars a month for an entire year now! Which means I cant even afford to sign her up for anything else. She now can't attend a class and we are out the money!! All because the gym changed the class 2 weeks after we signed up! I understand the business and how it works but honestly I left there in tears! Every situation is different and you all should remember to have some conpassion. The woman at the front desk is unbelievably rude. The only good thing I have to say about this place is that the instructor for the class is exceptional. I am extremely saddened that my daughter is no longer able to attend his class. And I am extremely disgusted with the way we were treated and how this situation has been handled. The woman didn't even want to help me and could care less that they just changed the class on us right after signing up!

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. So many issues with this gym.
- The manager (Heather) was extremely rude and doesn't care about any of the complaints I brought up. Just cares about taking money from the clients instead the "family environment" she preaches about.
- The classes are a joke. I took Dee's class, they should probably hire actual trainers with experience in a ring instead of people who watch YouTube tutorial videos. Her form and technique were cringe worthy.
- The gym is always a mess. I walked in the male bathroom and found urine all over the floor, paper towels scattered by the sink and stalls, and funky odor.

I don't recommend this gym to anyone.

From the web: "UFC Gyms are excellent starting points for beginners, youth, and women." From me: Southington needs a real MMA club. We never had one. Tons of karate and BJJ clubs and gyms but not one wraps it all together. Ascension Athletics in Bristol tries but fails on the wieghtlift gym part. So here we have UFC Gym what does the brand stand for? Soccer mom's swinging at heavy bags. I'd like to see UFC Gym pair huge up front in the open mats like Ascension with more dense weight lifting area in the back. Reduce counter space up front. Get rid of the silly vending machine. Cardio machine limited to tread mills and just a few. More heavy bags so we can pound out rounds on our own. There is plenty of space there but they are chasing a trend vs satisfying the needs of Southington martial arts community. Coaches should be on the floor giving tips vs paid extra rates. Kickboxing classes I'm told they can't do because of insurance but on YouTube everyone does classes like that. And they are not called UFC Gym. So I ask what does this brand want to be known for, soccer mom's? At least teach the soccer mom's proper kickboxing and BJJ on the floor instead of pushing a sled and doing burpees. Your most critical customers are often your best. Hope you all understand that.

I needed a new direction in my training and wanted a gym that promotes both individual accomplishment and community uplift.

UFC met those needs from the word go. Whether I am taking one of their classes with a group of old and new friends, or hammering away on an individual routine, I feel that UFC is there for me.

The coaches and trainers are engaging, supportive, and knowledgeable. Each of them bring something different, creating an environment where all health and fitness needs are met head on.

I'm pleased with my choice to join this gym and look forward to where this new adventure takes me.
