    Just started at this gym recently from another gym that I’ve been going to for the past 3 years. I’m going to be completely honest. I don’t like how pushy the “trainers” and “management” were to purchase their training plans etc when I first signed up. That was my first bad impression. It’s my first time at this gym, not a gym. Secondly, the gym isn’t really that clean. It’s a gym, it gets dirty I get it but you can just tell some stuff hasn’t been touched in maybe years. Thirdly, second time I’ve come here during business hours (not a holiday) and it’s closed. I guess the first time someone quit (no called no showed) No signs or anything. Planning to cancel my membership if they don’t get it together soon.

    The gym equipment itself is still nice, but based on the trend I see it’s only because it’s still relatively new. In terms of the overall gym experience, it’s not an enjoyable time. Starting with the equipment, the gym has very few attachments for the cables outside of lat pull-down bars. Again, with cables they are missing carabiners and weight stack pins and have been for months. The gym does have additional bars and attachments in an employee only room that they only allow their preferred customers to use, I have seen members walk in grab an attachment and walk out. When I asked about the attachment that I could see through the glass door I was told they don’t have it. There are only about 6 cleaning stations in the entire gym. In the last 2 years am sure I could count on 2 hands the number of times all of these have been full. At least 2-3 are out of wipes on any given day. The shower heads in the men’s locker room were just recently fixed after what felt like months of them being broken, not just 1 but all of the shower heads were broken. If you enjoy working out surrounded by shirtless men, avoiding tripods and cameras with every step, and being in the back of everyone’s videos, this will be the place for you. Finally, this week on Wednesday (6/21) the gym was just not open. Nothing posted on social media or a sign on the door about a closure. They just decided to not schedule someone, or the single person they schedule to open in the mornings decided not to show.

    Nice gym, clean, good equipment, kind staff. Membership is way too expensive and the $50 annual fee is the highest in Cleveland. Gym is also not 24 hours.

    An absolute NO for the youth boxing program. The teacher, Sergio, didn't show up, the guy at the front desk was clueless (and said he could TRY to see if someone else was teaching it) , the "coach" on the mat seemed really uninterested in a newcomer basically ignored my son bc he didn't have boxing gloves! This was his FIRST class to try it out and the guy on the phone yesterday told me that my son didn't need to bring anything. It was a waste of time and we'll never go back. My son was so disappointed and was really looking forward to the boxing sport.

    The family atmosphere of this gym is second to none. Enjoy a nice lift while your children learn basic self defense skills or come as a family and workout together. Gym was bigger than expected. Staff was attentive and friendly.

    Worst staff ever!!! I tried to go in with a friend of mine and they didint allow him to go in as a guest so we were trying to pay for a day pass and the guy at the desk was being very rude so I decided to cancel my membership and when I told him that he wanted to kick me out and started to yell at me and even “PUT HIS HANDS ON ME” I definitely don’t recommend this gym go somewhere you will be respected at.

    This gym was the most horrible gym I experienced. The staff are super disrespectful and some of the most unqualified staff I have seen in a business. I signed up for boxing classes, and I went in today, and they had a new coach who humiliated me in front of the class. I then went up to the management and tried to cancel my membership. They gave me a hard time and wanted me to keep my membership. They were not listening to what I had to say. I left the gym to then find out that my membership was still active. This made me mad I had to come back to the gym to fight them to cancel my membership. If they had the option of zero stars, that is what I would rate it. Do not sign up for this gym 😒.

    After a little over a month, I am very satisfied with this place. There are minor hiccups, but they don't detract from the overall experience. The equipment is great and well-maintained. The culture there is positive. My personal trainer has been super helpful. My biggest feedback is the locker room. There are many lockers that don't have functioning locks or doors. On more than one occasion, I've had one almost lock me out because the spinners wouldn't turn to allow me to put my numbers in. For the membership cost, I'd expect better attention to detail. Please upgrade those (or at least outfit them so we can just use our own locks. That would be best, I think.) I get free gym membership at big-name places like Planet Fitness through my health insurance. I may give some of those places a shot because my budget is constrained at the moment. However, if I find a way, I would like to keep coming back here too because it is that worth it to me.

    **Update:** Downgrading review. This establishment is extremely unprofessional when it comes to their billing process. Monthly charges have continued, as well as a brand new one - again for a membership that I canceled months ago. --- Overall not a great experience. I canceled after they removed the kickboxing skills and techniques class. They are also super pushy with trying to sell their PT classes. Despite canceling in person 3+ months ago, they are still charging my cc monthly. I have contacted them via email and phone to try and resolve.

    A kick boxing class with no kicking? Out of all the punching bags in there the coach had us punch each other. Trying to get to know the coach so I asked where he trains he told me “I like strong style gym more because they don’t allow talking like here.” After getting told to indirectly shut up and getting punched in the gut I later got calls, emails, and texts telling me to join. Anyone can open a gym you just need to buy equipment, but when it comes to classes and training you need good people which they clearly didn’t have. With that being said heres a shiny star ⭐️

    I recently joined UFC Gym and I have to say it is the best gym I have ever been to. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the environment is so inviting. The gym's facilities are top-notch and the fees are very reasonable. The customer service is second to none as the staff is always willing to help out and answer any questions. I highly recommend UFC Gym to anyone who wants to get fit and have an amazing experience. Five stars for sure!

    The gym has nice facilities when it is open. I work night shift and I like to go to the gym after work. There have been multiple times that I arrive around 6am and the gym is closed. The website, google and facebook all say that they are open. Today, July 16, I arrived at 8am and the gym was closed. There were multiple people in the parking lot who were waiting before I arrived. I left after waiting for 10 minutes. I received no notifications through email or no postings on social media if they have to open late.

    Great gym!! Wayne is very helpful! State of the art equipment, multiple stair steppers, benches, squat racks. Clean bathrooms and locker rooms. Best gym in the area, hands down! Definitely check out the CryoTherapy room.

    It’s good gym but one of the worst management ever you can deal with they always charge you extra money and when you go ask they try to make up lies about it and every time they have new rules. I was being polite up until the”manager” put his hands on my cousin and said d that he won’t cancel his membership

    Wayne the owner was excited to help me sat down went over all the different type of plans. Prices are a little high but the equipment is top notch this is not planet fitness. They have classes a kids corner in case you have your little one. Everyone seems really nice and eager to help.

    At this gym, you'll be able to push your body like you never pushed it before. They offer intense Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai classes, as well as wrestling and boxing and have kids classes of all four fighting styles. Not to mention, top notch recovery such as hydro massage beds and cryo chamber. Great energy here

  • 3/5 Morad F. 1 year ago on Google
    Not bad. The equipment is kind of shaky. The barbells there have too much of a spin to actually push serious weight. There are too many random fees. But the guy that signed me up (forgot his name) has great customer service. I did have one bad experience with some random guy just screaming at the top of his lungs. The people that work there literally stood around and didn’t say a word. But no big deal. I’m a big boy and can handle myself. But they should consider the equipment and get barbells for pressing.

    Amazing gym! Plenty of equipment, good parking lot and friendly staff. Always clean and a safe environment. i would recommend this gym to anyone that wants to join a new gym or just starting, as they offer training!

  • 5/5 Vedica G. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Great gym with a really good layout. You can tell it was thought through. We tried 9 gyms in the area before settling on this one because it had proper squat rack platforms, a core area, bars, good overall equipment and also resistance bands and other helpful things like barbell pads and foam rollers. The culture seems positive and encouraging and everyone is always looking out for one another vs trying to compete or make it competitive. I've always had people come spot me, or help me with form if I needed help. Jimmy and Christian were also extremely nice to us. The only thing I've noticed recently is the resistance bands are missing and a lot of times so are the barbell pads for exercises like hip thrusts and PVC pipes for warm ups. The management seemed great when we first moved to this gym 1.5 years ago, but it seems to be getting complacent. I still think it's the best gym in the area and hence, the rating but I do hope it doesn't decline.

    I absolutely love this gym. Everyone is friendly. They offer a variety of classes for both kids and adults. Coach Radu is amazing he is so positive and always cheering you on to the best you can be.

  • 1/5 Alicia P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want space and cleanliness this is it, as long as you don’t mind having money taken from your account whenever this gym needs it. They are currently refusing to cancel membership and it’s impossible to get anyone besides whatever new managers at the location they have that month on the phone. Wayne the current manager was one of the rudest people , let alone managers I’ve ever experienced. Unfortunately this is not isolated to me. This is a common practice of this gym and a major reason why so much of the body building community avoids membership here. Do not be deceived. Ask any employee how long they have worked there that will tell you all you need to know

  • 2/5 Maddie C. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym itself is amazing! The layout is great and the equipment is really nice. However, my friend and I signed up for personal training and she quit 2 weeks in. Putting the program on pause kind of defeats the purpose. we were given another trainer who focused nothing on nutrition which is why I spent $500 and signed up. They also would charge me decline fees when I had money in my bank account (happened 2 separate times) and they did not seem willing to help figure it out. They stole my money and showed no compassion. I would not recommend going here.

  • 5/5 Lech'e R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to work out, staff is pretty friendly and very helpful, prices are high but that's what you pay for when you want the best. As. A bigger person trying to workout I was terrified to with all the buff people but I've had no problems and would definitely recommend.

  • 1/5 Daniel P. 1 year ago on Google
    It started out great until we didn't want to continue our membership. Canceled the membership we thought but they kept charging my account. Still can't/ haven't seen a refund. Total bull how about give the money you owe me UFC

  • 5/5 Dane M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been to this gym multiple times and never been let down. Always clean, well mannered management, and great environment. Definitely separates itself from other gyms. Wayne, who runs the front desk, was awesome and very helpful as well.

  • 5/5 Miguel J. 1 year ago on Google
    Cleanest gym I have ever been to. The prices are the lowest in Ohio for MMA training and gym access. Usually to get just Brazilian jiujitsu alone somewhere it’s usually $150+ a month. At UFC you get a full set gym with everything you’d need, full recovery with massages and cryo, child care, unlimited boxing, kickboxing, jiujitsu, and HIIT classes all for cheaper than most places that offer JUST jiujitsu. Equipment is brand spanking new. Front desk girls are the sweetest. Boxing coach is an absolute unit. And they got the baddies up in there workin out!!!!! 10/10 all day

    I enjoyed the gym at first, relatively clean and It’s a step up from planet fitness in the free weight category. However there is an obvious management problem as the staff is nice but are unsupervised. I’ve shown up and the lights were all off when the place was supposed to be open. They use these stupid sanitary wipes that leave a slippery residue on everything. And at the time of writing this they were out of the wipes for 2-3 days. So that means that the equipment has gone 2-3 days with people not wiping it off. Just get spray bottles and paper towels. Also the other gym members/patrons are very inconsiderate, the machines, etc are all marked where each size plate is supposed to go and I am I constantly having to move 10, 25, and 35 lb plates to get to the 45’s and vice versa. There needs to be someone from the staff assigned to walk around every so often and monitor the gym/help educate people on this. Please get some proper management in there, maybe someone who has experience managing a successful gym. Probably am going to start looking at other options including going back to planet fitness.

    Scam alert read all of your fine print. Like every word you think you read it correctly but it's not what you think it is. Canceled my plan after 5 months of going. They made it seem like every thing was fine no charge this and that to get a call from collection 4 months later stating I owe 700 dollars. The equipment never got wiped down I would really recommend go somewhere else any where else
