Community Awareness Post - UFC Gym

Be warned about abusive person JOSEPH TOMASZEWSKI.
As a disability rights advocate, I feel obligated to share concerns about the treatment of disabled individuals— including Autistic and Deaf members and veterans with disabilities

This is regarding the gym at the Waterfront/Homestead location.

Hello,

I was going to this gym for awhile and just paying with cash to see, if I would be interested in attending here as a member. Glad I didn’t sign up because everytime there are two classes going on, I cannot access the equipment I need like a mat or a foam roller, as another poster said, this is an ongoing problem here when there are two classes going on at once. I cant imagine what it will be like in January when more people will be there and this gym is so small compared to most gyms in the area. It is wrong to have two classes going on at once when it is a very tiny and small gym…

So, I was in the Army, and have been in gyms all over the world. This is the best gym I've ever been in. Hands down, bar none. They have a ton of equipment, and it's not incredibly expensive. A basic membership, self motivation to achieve simple goals, ambition to get stronger, and a little research is all any beginner needs in a place like this. Avoid paying personal trainers by going at a consistent time and getting to know other members who go at the same time helps with getting advice on form, for example. Maybe break the ice with someone by complimenting them on the amount of weight they're exercising with. Then ask them how they managed to get the results that made them want to keep using the gym in the beginning. Stuff like that is a great way to make a gym a place that isn't hard to go to, or spend time in. As an old semi-pro, that's the best advice I can give.

Great gym. Has more than enough machines and benches. This is what all gyms aspire to be! John the manager was great. My wife and I were in from out of town and their day pass rates were very reasonable. I wish this was the gym near my house!

Long-time member of UFC Gym Pittsburgh PA Market Square, but disappointed by a sudden policy change ending parking validation for basic plans, with no prior notice. When I mentioned I hadn’t heard about it, the front desk was rude and unprofessional, claiming a month-long announcement that never happened. I feel disrespected as a loyal member. Please improve communication and consider compensation, like reinstating the perk. Poor customer service.

Edit: since this was unpopular with the members, UFC listened and reversed this decision and reinstated free 2 hour parking for basic members. This is great to see and I’ve got to give them credit for listening so thank you!

I have just signed up to start my membership at UFC and they seem to be a great place! Their Employee Tosh was very helpful with signing me up and showing me around the facility, and working things out so that I could get back into my fitness journey as soon as I can! Cannot wait to get started!

I would have given this gym 4 stars but the policy changes have been rolled out terribly. First I was able to enter the gym through an easy access door. They then revoked it after a couple weeks and made it the VIP access. No biggie, I thought, I’ll just take the long way around. Then 2 months later, free parking removed from my tier, making my membership here completely useless. Good thing was able to change to the waterfront location. I just can’t trust in anything they say at this gym location, too many changes too soon! Everything else is great though, friendly staff and clean.

Problem after Problem with this gym. The actual gym itself is great, good equipment, clean most of the time, and a lot of different options. The staff is where the main issue is. Nobody really knows anything, and if you have a problem, good luck! They won't even validate parking anymore unless you get a higher membership. Crazy!

There appears to be a recurring problem with how policy changes, particularly concerning essential amenities like parking validation, are communicated to members. Many members have reported being caught off guard by sudden changes, leading to unexpected charges and a sense of being misled. The communication from the front desk staff regarding these changes can often be unhelpful and dismissive, rather than informative and understanding.

This lack of clear, proactive communication, coupled with a perceived unhelpful attitude from some staff members, creates a frustrating environment. It's disappointing when a gym prioritizes pushing upgrades over ensuring a smooth and positive experience for its existing members. For a premium gym, the expectation is a high standard of service and clear, respectful communication, which unfortunately seems to be lacking.

This gym offers affordable, world-class facilities in a great location that are very well maintained. I have been using the gym for 2 weeks and have not seen any broken machines or long wait times. The staff are very friendly and accommodating (I enrolled with Tosh), and the parking lot makes the gym very accessible. The monthly passes are a great value--especially if you get dual access with the Waterfront location. Strong recommend!

I’ve been going to this gym for almost 3 years and I absolutely love that UFC has so many amazing workout machine options and classes for everyone! I love that this gym is fully inclusive to athletes, everyday people, and especially women of color! I love that the staff is friendly and moves quick to problem solve when I do have any issues. For anyone skeptical about this gym don’t take my word for it just take advantage of the free day pass and see for yourself❤️. I’m not the easiest person to please AT ALL and this gym has been my all time favorite

Any service with a staff that can't take a please-clean-your-facities suggestion seriously, probably should rethink keeping its problem employees, or shouldn't be in business at all. Sending a member off with a cancelation form that reads their reason for leaving as "cry baby" when that member informed the staff of the facility's disgusting, unsanitary conditions does not sound like an experience worth going to.

I would try a different gym if I were you, folks. Don't wanna sit around in what smells like fish sweat.

Terrible cancellation process. I was out of town and they required me to cancel in person. After multiple emails, they finally canceled. But due to their 21 day notice policy, they still charged me $9.99 for the next month and a $59 annual fee for a year I won’t use. Very frustrating and unfair.

Update: they replaced the paper towel machines in the locker room! Also, looks like new locker policy, and they have been having a male custodian clean the locker room so they don’t have to close it. Adding back a star. Original review below.

Overall, you get a lot for your money, so I would recommend this gym. There are just too many small things adding up to ignore.

1. It’s usually a few degrees too warm (might be a personal issue, not sure if others would agree)
2. It’s always a scavenger hunt to find cleaning wipes. This leads to a culture of people not cleaning the equipment after using it.
3. The locker room (only speaking for men’s)
a. Frequently out of soap
b. Worst paper towel dispensers known to man (and often empty)
c. They close it for cleaning at 6:15pm and don’t allow you in. Please, pick a more sensible time to close the locker room.
d. Just never really feels very clean. Not sure if I’d want to use the showers.
4. By my estimate, there are approximately 200 lockers throughout the gym. I’ve never counted, but from experience I’d guess only about 10 to 20 are unlocked at one time, despite not being allowed to keep things overnight. I guarantee there are not 180 people using the gym at the same time. This makes it really difficult/impossible to find a locker to use, especially if you need one of the bigger ones. Lockers should be opened/cleaned out nightly if that’s the rule.

If these issues were fixed it would for sure be a 5 star gym. You get access to all the equipment you could want with just the basic membership, which is very reasonably priced. To me, that’s still worth the membership costs even with all the issues (especially due to the nice location). You’ll have to decide that trade-off for yourself.

P.S. for transparency, I was coerced into writing a 5 star review upon signup to get a free t shirt. At the time I did think it was a 5 star gym.

I like the gym. Easy parking. Validate 2 hours. Never too many people there. My only complaint is the cleanliness. That janitor needs coaching or just needs to go. I see him chilling on the benches not doing much most the time. Machine upstairs are dusty. Locker rooms are not cleaned well. Usually out of the cleaning wipes for equipment. Love the gym like I said but the male cleaner just isn't up to par.

I’ve been training at this gym for about a year now, and it truly stands out. With a prime location, top-tier equipment, and dedicated staff, leading to an environment perfect for building strength, gaining muscle, and developing UFC fighting skills.

One of the highlights of my experience has been training with coach Pedro, the BJJ coach. He is undoubtedly one of the strongest and most skilled people I have ever met. Under his guidance, my wrestling has improved significantly in a remarkably short period. His dedication to his students is truly inspiring, pushing us to excel even in the most challenging positions. Beyond his expertise, his positive attitude and passion for the sport makes him an exceptional coach.

If there’s one thing to take away, it’s that the coaches here are fully committed to your improvement, ensuring that every student reaches their full potential.

Absolutely thrilled with my experience training under Coach Pedro! As a beginner with no prior martial arts background, Coach Pedro made me feel welcome and comfortable from day one. His knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is exceptional, and what truly stands out is his patience and dedication to each student’s growth. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the athletes and their progress, which makes learning from him such a rewarding experience. If you're looking for a coach who is not only skilled but also supportive and encouraging, Coach Pedro is the one! Highly recommend!

It has been just 2 weeks since I’ve been training with Coach Rubie at UFC Gym, and I have already noticed a huge improvement in my strength—I’m lifting more weight, my endurance has also improved significantly, and I feel much fitter overall.

Beyond the workouts, Rubie has helped me focus on proper nutrition, ensuring I’m not just consuming enough protein but also getting a well-balanced intake of essential nutrients. The guidance has been invaluable in helping me build a stronger, healthier body.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and motivating coach who genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend training with coach Rubie at UFC!

Coach Rubie is awesome! After just a couple of weeks with her, I have learnt more about different exercises and weight training that span across different ranges of motion. Now I feel stronger and more fit throughout my day. She is very energetic and teaches you not only about how to work out with the right form, but also the importance of diet and recovery.

Coach Rubie has made me feel like I CAN DO anything I put my mind to. She has made me feel more confident in myself. I have transformed drastically in my strength and body positivity. I went from barely being able to lift 45lbs to mid rowing like 1.5X my body weight. I have noticed the change in the span of a month. I was the pipsqueak in high school and have asthma and she’s helped me transition out of my asthma. I was having trouble keeping them under control and she’s helped me barely have them anymore.

I've been to many different gyms over the last 15+ years and I can confidently say that his gym is top tier & very fairly priced, especially for a gym downtown. Basic membership gains you access to free weights & equipment, plus other spaces (like spin cycles or bags) if they're not being occupied by classes. This gym & women's locker room and bathrooms are extremely clean & the equipment is brand new and great quality.

I read some other reviews about poor management, but there is a new GM here, Jess, and she is outstanding. This gym has a ton of different options and amenities (classes, recovery, tanning, etc) which are obviously added costs. If you're interested in joining I'd recommend taking a tour & discussing with them what you're interested in to get the best idea of how much it will cost if you want more than just a basic gym membership. They also offer 2 free hours of parking at a nearby parking garage.

Highly recommend this gym, especially if you live around downtown.

I can goto crunch fitness for the same price and get the full gym experience why would I pay 25 for one third of the gym? Then they want extra fees on top for guest and sauna and sun bathing and classes totaling up to like 150 why would I do this when I can get all that for 25 at crunch

I did a trial here and most of the equipment was warn out, bathrooms where nasty and they close at 6pm Friday Saturday and Sunday the main time and days I do goto the gym

All jokes aside if the base gym fee was like 10 a month ids kinda rate it higher then 2 but it just seems like you offer less then other gyms for the price you want

This gym is absolutely terrible. I went to this gym in august of 2024 and I wasn’t sure if i wanted to buy the membership, but was convinced by an employee to just pay for a month and he would cancel it immediately after the purchase. It is now December and they have been charging me since. This gym is a scam.

It’s disheartening to see that the YMCA was turned into a UFC gym for nothing. This place is dirty. The girls bathroom was highly unkept the entirety of my membership & this place never seems to have sanitized wipes for equipment, soap and paper towels for the restrooms, or clean facilities all around. They make a decent penny at this location so it’s surprising to see they can’t consistently afford necessities of a public gym. The only service that made this gym worth the money were the boxing classes lead by Coach Rob Jackson. Unfortunately , management fails to protect the safety of both employees and gym members. There have been multiple incidents followed by complaints of gym members being violent towards staff and other members. Yet nothing was done to resolve the issues and has ultimately lead me to cancel my membership for my own safety.
The list could go on, but to conclude you’re better off going to a planet fitness or supporting local boxing/ufc coaches/gyms rather than this dump.

I cannot stress enough when I say this; the boxing classes taught by coach Rob Jackson are the absolute best classes in this fine establishment. Each time you take a class, he takes great care and pride to make sure that not only you can throw a punch, but that you know how to throw a punch correctly. The MMA classes in this gym are superb, but if you want to get your hard earned money's worth, then Coach Jackson's boxing classes are definitely worth a look.

EDIT (09/26/2024): I was made aware that this gym has fired coach Rob Jackson. Let me stress this for everyone to see. Without Coach, this gym is a bunch of guys LARPing as tough guys. The bathrooms are a mess, no body wash, dirty as all hell, the showers are covered in mildew, and the only coach that actually knew what he was doing was fired for disingenuous reasons.

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE COVID.

UFC GYM is a great gym with an amazing staff. I highly recommend taking the boxing conditioning classes with coach Rob Jackson. He’s very skillful with his coaching techniques. With having no boxing experience, coach Rob was there to help build my confidence up. The environment is very welcoming and you get a great workout while learning the fundamentals of boxing. If you’re trying to find a gym, UFC GYM is the way to go as well as taking coach Rob’s classes. I promise you, it’s worth it! LETS GO!!!!

Cancelling at this gym is an absolute nightmare. My teen son canceled back in May, and was told he would need to pay June’s fees and then cancellation would happen. After everything was paid up he called the gym and make sure the cancellation was complete and was told it was. In July they took another payment out. After multiple calls and their staff saying they couldn’t see a cancellation on file and always saying the manager was out, we showed up in person and was assured by Ian that the cancellation was on file and that he would make sure we weren’t charged again. Lo and behold, August they tried to take another payment. More calls telling him that the manager is out and they can’t do anything. At that point we had to go through our bank to stop the payment attempts. Now it is September and he’s being threatened with getting sent to collections. He FINALLY was able to talk to a manager today who said he couldn’t do anything and gave him an email address to try. If that’s the only way to cancel, I’m not sure why we were given the email months ago or why we were told multiple times to talk to the manager who apparently has no ability to cancel memberships. Or why the cancellation that was on file back in May magically disappeared.

Gym itself is fine idc. But I went 3 times and payed 30 dollars, which like, again, I don’t care that’s fine. The only problem I DO have is that when I wanted to cancel it I couldn’t do it on the app they made me get, so I thought I’d pay manually and it wouldnt take money out whenever it wanted. But lo and behold here I am off the phone with them and now I can’t get 25 dollars back. I asked to get a refund because I’m not going back and there’s no option to cancel, and now I’m down 25 dollars. If you want to cancel a membership you either have to send in a letter or go in and sign something? As someone who is new to gyms and has problems with motivation in the first place, this wasn’t a good experience.AT ALL

This gym is turnt af. It’s really clean and surprisingly spacious. The boxing area is amazing too. They have a wide range of machines to use. It’s also surprisingly cheap for all they offer, much cheaper than their competitors who have even less than this. The only downside is that the music is shit but you get a pair of headphones and you’re cool.

UFC Gym Pittsburgh Market Square is fantastic! The facility is incredibly clean, with a wide variety of equipment to choose from, and plenty of space to work out comfortably. The recovery room is a great feature, offering an awesome way to wind down after training. The trainers are exceptional—knowledgeable and supportive—and the front desk staff is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this gym!

Bathrooms are disgusting and regularly run out of soap or paper towels. The water fountains have brown stains around them and their water tastes funny (unreplaced filters probably, keep in mind the water in Pittsburgh is as bad as Flint, Michigan). The weightlifting plates at the racks are cheap and basic and go 10lbs, 25lbs, 35lbs, and 45lbs, so no 25 kilo plates or 2.5 kilo plates. Staff is friendly tho.

Absolutely not satisfied with the service at the gym, the employees lied to me twice, first I registered at the gym because I would only be an intern in Pittsburgh for the summer and they said they would not charge the annual fee for being an intern, the second time they lied to me is When I canceled they told me that there would be no problem and that they would not charge me but they found out that the next day they charged me the annual fee and the next day they charged me for a new month even though my membership was already cancelled, I have been calling for the last two weeks and The workers keep playing with me and tell me it's something about the financial, they gave me an email to make my money refund and it turns out that they never responded to me and that the email doesn't exist. Don't go to this gym. Very bad experience and I feel like they stole 85 dollars from me.

I've been going to the UFC Gym for a while now, and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, and I never feel judged while working out. The coaches are awesome and genuinely care about your progress.

James, in particular, really pushes me to do my best and makes personal training so much fun. Tom, the MMA coach, is very skilled and patient, and I've learned a lot from him.

My son also attends the gym, and Robert, the youth coach, has been fantastic. My son was struggling with confidence at school, but Robert has helped him come out of his shell. Now, my son walks with confidence and loves going to the gym to learn and train in MMA. Additionally, Pedro has been a great help with my son's wrestling, further enhancing his skills and enjoyment of the sport.

Thank you, coaches, for doing an amazing job! Overall, the UFC Gym has been a wonderful experience for both of us, and I highly recommend it!

I Recently Got A Membership Here About A Week Ago. I Gave It 3 Stars Simply Because I Scheduled With The Trainer Alex G. At 3pm Last Tuesday & He Cancelled On Me Because Of An Emergency (Understandable), We Then Agreed To Meet At 3pm The Following Day (Wednesday) In Which He Was A No Show. I Waited About 45min For Him To Show Up And Eventually Said Forget It. I Talked With I Believe One Of The Managers And He Said That Alex Told Him That He Didn’t See That He Had An Appointment On His Calendar Wednesday Because The Systems Were Messing up That Day. I Politely Said That He Knew About The Training Scheduled Because We Texted About Meeting Today. So Alex Played Me On My Training And Lied To His Coworkers…. This Wasn’t The Start I Was Hoping To Have With This Gym.

The UFC Gym is one of a kind. The staff goes above and beyond and I truly feel like I am getting so much more for my buck with the UFC gym. You can’t beat the price of the recovery comparatively to other places that offer the same experiences no less the gym. The prices have gone way down from when it first opened and it really is super affordable now for what is pretty much state of the art equipment. It’s really everything and more you could need in a gym.

Do not sign up to use this gym they’re either incompetent or thieves my wife and myself have tried to cancel our membership since January of this year have gone in person several times to cancel our memberships. The company continues to charge us month after month, giving us inadequate excuses on why our cards are still being charged we have had to resort to canceling the card used for the membership of. this is part of their business model their thieves. ( I have directly been in contact with Cody the manger by email and in person the issue have never been resolved, there are several Reddit threads with many people have the same problem with UFC )

I recently had an incredible percussion therapy session with Rubie at the UFC gym in downtown, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Rubie's expertise in targeting trigger points was evident from the start, as they skillfully navigated through each muscle group, ensuring no stone was left unturned. The session not only helped me achieve a greater range of flexibility but also significantly expedited my recovery process. It's clear that Rubie possesses a deep understanding of the body and how to optimize its performance and healing. For anyone looking to enhance their physical well-being, Rubie's theragun session is a must. A solid 5 stars for an experience that has left me feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on my next challenge.

Definitely worth my time and Coach Rubie enlightened me with a lot of good advice for pre and post workout stretching / warm up, etc.
