UFC GYM Costa Mesa

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!!!

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 loved coming to the gym with my husband at UFC gym. They offered me a guest pass for him having a v.I.p membership. This gym had lots of available machines and a person present cleaning the floors. Easily accessible cleaning wipes to help clean the machines after use. Great music playing as well. This gym also offers a daycare for kids while parents workout. Located on harbor blvd next to the Honda dealership

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.

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.
