UFC GYM North Brunswick

The care and upkeep at this gym is disgusting. I was in the Muay Thai classes (excellent coaches and wonderful people in the classes) for the last year but the gym owner does not maintain anything and I am not willing to even give this gym two stars for my love of the Muay Thai classes because I am that appalled by how this gym is run. The mats got water damage back in June 2024 and have become a massive safety hazard (tripping/falling hazard and a staff member confirmed there is mold under the mats) and has yet to be addressed, slowly getting worse over time. The owner, Raj, always says it is going to be addressed “next week” but never actually fixes it. He has gotten very used to telling people what they want to hear and then putting them on the back burner. There are also screw and bolts exposed in the mat for someone to step on and get injured. In addition, the mats are not cleaned regularly but classes have to be conducted barefoot for proper training (people in the classes are always leaving class with the bottoms of their feet black and covered in dirt/grime) and we are not even provided materials for us to clean the mats (even though we pay a good chunk of change to go this gym and shouldn’t have to clean the mats ourselves and someone should be hired to maintain the cleanliness of these mats to avoid the spread of viruses and bacteria). The boxing ring is always broken (frame parts slipping out, dips and soft spots in the mat, mats are always separating causing falling hazards, etc) yet the owner says it’s safe to spar in the ring and constantly ignores requests for it to be fixed properly. Raj had even gone as far to tell me that it was my coaches responsibility to get the ring fixed (if I got injured it wasn’t going to be the coach I was suing for premises liability, so make that make sense). Not to mention, the canvas on top is filthy. You can clearly see it was originally black from the edges and it is now a beige color. It is never cleaned, never rotated out with another canvas, and again there is nothing provided to the members to even try to clean it. There are always sanitizer sprays and/or paper towels missing and the hand sanitizers never have anything in them. When you ask a staff member to replace or fill them up it takes days for it to actually get addressed. At one point I went to three different areas and there was no spray in sight. The treadmill areas went over a week without the paper towels or sprays being refilled, even with me going everyday to a staff member and asking (Raj included, and it still didn’t get addressed). This is also an issue when it comes to the soap and paper towels in the restrooms as well (both men and women have complained about it, and it makes you wonder how often the staff is washing their hands if this is so often overlooked). The equipment is always broken and not maintained. The Ladder Machine has had an “Out of Order” sign on it for over two months now. There are 7-8 ellipticals and only two fully work (they don’t turn on, they off the tracks, they only do one function, etc). The same with the treadmills always not working properly. The row machines do not work, nor do a majority of the bikes. The padding is wearing down on machine were you have to layer up to avoid hurting your skin (some of them are so worn that you can see the mold spores in them). The woman’s sauna is always touch and go and frequently out of order. The amount of gum on the floors here is awful. Off a glance you do not notice because the gum is so old it is black on a dirty, black floor, but there is gum everywhere by the weights. The woman’s bathroom has had the same piece of gum, dead center on the floor, for weeks and there has been a piece of gum on the seat in the woman sauna for months. There’s gum on the Muay Thai mat (where we walk barefoot) that has been there for months as well. It’s disappointing to pay extra money, not just to use the gym but to go to classes, and to see that money is not reinvested back into the gym in the slightest. Don’t let the social media fool you.

By far my favorite gym in jersey, and really great value for the money. Open 24/7 during the weekdays, the staff is really nice, has all the equipment you can think of or need, and is super clean. The crowd that goes here is also really cool. I’d recommend this gym to anyone.

Been here three years & I LOVE this gym! An abundance of equipment with different variations, great vibes, very nice people in regards to the crowd, & more than enough space to maneuver without feeling like you’re on top of one another. Management is AMAZING as well as the owners!!

I love this gym, been coming here for almost a year now, hours are great and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Equipment and the general vibe of the gym is unmatched, would recommend this for anyone looking for a gym and a great community!

I recently joined the UFC gym in North Brunswick, NJ and I have been blown away by the experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always willing to help and motivate me during my workouts and helping me achieve my fitness goals. The gym has a great sense of community, making me feel like I belong and encouraging me to push myself even harder. I love the variety of activities offered at the gym and the fact that it is open 24 hours, allowing me to work out whenever it fits into my schedule. Overall, I highly recommend the UFC gym in North Brunswick to anyone looking for a challenging and supportive fitness environment.
