UFC Gym

It’s amazing how a change in ownership AND management can vastly improve a business and customer experience. The new (old) General Manager, Kevin Roccia, has done an amazing job. He keeps the gym clean, all equipment working and the facilities stocked. He was also integral in bringing back the former coaches who left under the old management team. I actually like going to the gym now. I find it motivating to be there instead of dreading it. I can’t say enough good things about the gym, the coaches, the environment and the opportunities! Thank you for bringing UFC Orange back to what I remembered when I joined!

I joined UFC Gym in February primarily for my son. He loves his Jiu Jitsu coach and MMA coach. The gym has a family atmosphere and that makes both me and my son feel comfortable. The gym is clean, the staff is awesome and the trainers/​coach are professional and friendly.

Grit and Guts!
The acronym UFC engenders fear, reverence, and apprehension to the uninitiated. Fear not, Folks. Furlough your fitness no more.
Perhaps, it is a user issue, but Kickboxing Conditioning did nothing for me. But, I discovered my groove during Daily Ultimate Training (DUT).
For beginners, I would recommend Coach Jeff. To those who enjoy chest pain, inability to squat, gasping for breath, thwarted attempts to brush hair; I propose Coaches Sasha and Edgar. Coach Sasha has a reckoning whiteboard summarizing sequenced systems of savage symmetry.
You must be aware there are neither showers nor secure lockers.
Finally for a premium, there is Master Coach, also Credentialmonger, Kevin Le, who is well versed in medieval torture and all things fitness. His credentials are as follows: NASM CPT, NESTA CPT, IFPA CPT, USA WEIGHTLIFTING, UFC NASM MMA; however, he omitted the credential with utmost importance — Dancing Queen.
Humbled within 30 minutes, my initial disgust with Kevin’s over-​achieving, happy-​go-​lucky smug Asian perfectionist probably aced AP calculus and organic chemistry disposition splintered into respect and utmost regard. Homey got stones.
But, did you die?

UFC Gym, Orange is one of the best choices I have made to get fit and most importantly to gain strength. The coaches here are experienced, well rounded and very helpful.
Manager, Kevin runs a clean gym and a respectful and enthusiastic team.
Whatever shape you are in, the coaches will encourage you and talk you through the classes. You have to come in and check it out. The front desk staff are very nice, professional and provide great customer service. Blessed to be here!

First week here and its been awesome. Staff and management are excellent. No matter what your fitness goals are, this place will have you covered and motivate you at the same time!

I was a previous member here and just signed back up. Wow… They’ve really upgraded this place — both gym and staff-​wise! The classes are fun and very technique-​oriented. Kevin’s kickboxing class is top-​notch. They have a wide selection of classes and times and I’m stoked to join the Muay Thai and no-​gi classes once my cardio is a little better. They also have gi and strength conditioning classes. Best part. You can’t beat the price. Definitely recommend checking it out to anyone that’s a little thrown off by the UFC name and think it’s a McDojo… It’s not! Real place with real training.

Joined this gym last month… All I can say is WOW! It’s unlike any gym out there… Everyone is super helpful and very supportive in my journey toward better health and fitness! Kevin the GM is an AMAZING trainer and is making me strive to do and be better… Kevin L signed us up and got us started is also a FANTASTIC trainer! This gym is 10 stars in my book and I highly recommend it!

I can’t speak to the general classes much, as I only took them a few times and wasn’t that impressed. I mostly just trained there on my own but the staff was friendly. The one star is for the lack of customer service. I was recently told that my 2 year membership expired, which was not the case as I had my account frozen due to a shoulder surgery and a back injury after a car accident. I was also given two free months for referring someone. When I explained this, the person at the desk tried to sell me another 2 year contract rather than address my legitimate issue. I left my contact info for the manager, without response; I tried calling and was told to call back when the GM got there – although I wanted to leave a message; and I emailed no response. What I did get was a call from collections demanding $ 10 more a month than what I was told by the gym staff that I would now owe. Although they don’t have all the equipment I need, I was going to continue my membership for the space. I am still owed months but don’t even want them. I just want out of their system. Horrible customer service, which I also experienced when we had to transfer my boyfriend’s membership to Las Vegas. There’s potential there, just a lot of laziness. I recommend finding a smaller gym where the owner is involved and invested. I will update if I don’t get my cancellation processed,

I’ve been going to this gym since it was LA Boxing. Lots of changes has taken place throughout the years… I have to say it is starting to get back to how it was when I initially joined. The new owner Dan, is doing a great job keeping the gym clean (which was a disaster 6 months ago), and the classes are back to great! Of course I miss the old school trainers, however, Ritchie is doing great job running kickboxing/​boxing class, along with Kelvin being the great DUT instructor, and take Edgar’s classes in the morning; to name a few… They will also work with you at your own level of needs… I grew up as an athlete, and currently continue to maintain my fitness. UFC gym has variety of instructors that has variety style classes so you don’t get bored. They make sure I get a high intensity quality workout to keep me fit!

I absolutely LOVE this location. This gym is clean, big, and has everything you need. The best part about it though are the instructors who teach the classes. Sasha is AMAZING. His DUT classes are really awesome and he is just a joy to be around. I also really like Jeff Willingham’s classes. He’s a great trainer.

I’ve been a member of this UFC gym now for 2 years and have seen the changes they have gone through. I must say that the previous managers certainly made you feel uncomfortable and not welcome there which made me rarely show up and consider leaving the gym.
Just recently they brought in the old manager, Kevin R. that I was signed up through and it is definitely a night and day dofference from the vibe of the gym being up beat and welcoming and friendly. This is once again a great amd fun place to be for an amazing workout.
I highly recommend coming hy to check them out and if possible speak with Kevin yourself. He is very personable and willing to work with you to get you started.

What a great place to be a part of. I always enter happy and leave happy.
I especially need to highlight Coach Ritchie. He is more than an excellent fitness trainer and fighter. He is a huge asset to UFC Orange and I am very happy to work with him via PT/​classes and am excited to see his future professional growth. I encourage all efforts to ensure his retention with UFC! He provides excellent life mentorship, and shows deep concern for member’s well-​being at an individualized level. He is also very intelligent about anatomy and health — if you have a question about muscle groups and workouts, he can help! I constantly learn something new during sessions.
Really all of the coaches here deserve to be congratulated. I experience an awesome vibe of encouragement in the room from everyone when I workout, and it’s a contagious and very energizing learning experience. I must share that some of the best results that I am also getting from this gym, (besides weight loss), is relief from anxiety, panic and stress — sport psychology is definitely a thing and it happens here.

If you do not belong to a gym, I would highly recommend joining this gym (meaning this UFC location).
MYSELF
I have been a member of UFC for one year now. This is one of the best investments I have made in my young life. I started out at the Yorba Linda location (shot out to all of them for getting me started and interested in martial arts).
GYM ATTRIBUTES
This gym is excellent. It is very spacious. There is a lot of training equipment and rows of heavy bags to hit. They have free weights. They have an octagon ring. I prefer a boxing ring, since I am more interested in boxing than Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
TRAINERS AND CLASSES
The trainers at this gym are knowledgeable and encouraging. Shot out to Bo – he is one of the reasons I have become really interested in the sport of boxing. I have taken classes with several other trainers (they all do a good job and are passionate about what they do and helping others get in shape and/​or learn boxing, kickboxing, jiu-​jitsu, other martial arts. Special shot out to Jeff –he is super knowledgeable about fighting, fighting technique, and he makes classes fun. He also is really invested in helping people learn about martial arts and keeping people motivated. Love this guys attitude and sense of team spirit.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I would give this place a try if you have not already. If you have already given it a try maybe try again? This week I went to the Wednesday night class that Mike was teaching. At the end of class, we all gathered in a circle like we usually do. Mike said that we had 2 people at the start of the 7:45 PM class and at the end (8:45 PM) there were roughly 12 people. Mike pointed out that we need to do a better job of being on time. He also said that we need to be in here at least four times a week. I really took his words to heart because I often get to class late. But more so, I was motivated by this strong notion that this place is more than a gym – it’s a place with real fighters (people who treat professional fighting as their livelihood) that care about helping people progress and achieve their fitness goals.

I’ve been at UFC Gym Orange for a year and it’s a relief to have our old manager Kevin R. back making sure he restores the gyms «homely» environment, as it once was. I signed at ufc in October 2014 because Kevin has the personality to make you feel like this gym is your home. I don’t see my self going to any other gym anytime soon. Any minor issues the gym has previously had are slowly but surely gettin fixed.
I definitely recommend giving UFC Gym Orange a chance. & Welcome Back Kevin!

I have been to multiple UFC Gym locations and this is by far one of my favorites. They have every tool you will need in whatever fitness goals you have in mind as far as equipment, coaching, and even supplements! The staff is always welcoming and informative as well as just plain good vibes. Particularly Kevin Roccia has made my experience in this gym far beyond expectations. I have been coming here for a few weeks now and I definitely view it as my new home gym. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow.

I honestly didn’t think I would like coming to work out here as much as I do. The kickboxing classes are a great workout for conditioning Your body. Met with my trainer Kelvin last night. Had a good workout with him. Very smart guy who really know his stuff. Overall I enjoy coming here the staff and coaches are very friendly and helpful.

If I could give this place no stars I would. The trainer I HAD at this gym, Corey, I will continue to give 5 stars however they don’t have the option for individual trainer reviews. He is extremely polite, gentlemanly, understanding, helpful, great at customer service, knowledgable and caring in everything he does for each of his clients.
UFC Gym however has some of the worst «customer service» I have ever experienced. At least no has to deal with the arrogance and utter bad attitude Chris offered.
I cancelled my membership on 06/​23/​2015, and they were telling me I had to pay $ 100 cancellation fee along with $ 10 per each month of my membership not used. yet a friend who also cancelled less than 2 months before (in person instead of over the phone) did not have any fees to pay? I told them I refuse to pay these fees and they waived them. Mind everyone I ONLY signed the membership because I was FORCED to have a membership in order to have PC sessions. Now they do not want to refund my 13 sessions because «they are a franchise and that’s just typically how it works» according to Matt.
My trainer got a new job opportunity while me and other clients still had some Private Coaching sessions left and he advised we could complete them before he left to his new opportunity. Come a few days later he tells me that UFC gym told him he is not allowed to finish out his clients and they must go to a new trainer as he is a conflict of interest and «doesn’t know what he is doing when it comes to the personal training industry» according to the new manager Matt.
I have 13 prepaid PC sessions left that I do not want to continue out with a new trainer and frankly do not want to associate myself with anything UFC gym related as MANY people have now told me of their experiences and bad customer service and had the same complaints about the gym as I did. (No hand towels in the bathrooms, spiders/​bugs on floor/​bags/​cubbies, no cleaning supplies for bags/​matts, broken machinery, etc…)
I paid $ 1,680 for these 24 original sessions and got extremely ill to the point of hospitalization and had to due to doctors orders take a break. I am being REFUSED a refund because «they are a franchise» well Matt, every franchise has an owner and I was supposed to receive a call back almost 72 hours ago now as Matt stated «I will look more into this and call you back I can reach you at *states my number*», still have received no call. They have become money hagglers and swindlers now that they are literally ROBBING me of $ 910 for the 13 sessions I have left of $ 70/​hr that the trainer receives only 30% of!
Not only do they ROB (or try to) the what used to be members they ROB their trainers by only providing 30% of the $ 70. I will not settle with being forced to keeping these sessions. Some more great customer service from UFC Gym. NOT, they’re services are a joke. UFC Gym and people are AWFUL to deal with and get you know where because they talk you in circles, especially, Matt.
Take a lesson from the XBT’s Customer service as I’ve already seen 4 people who used to go to this gym over at XBT where I switched to in order to keep my amazing, polite, and knowledgable trainer, Corey F., in a more personal and FRIENDLY environment with outstanding customer service.
Any and everyone reading this, give XBT a shot and you’ll see the difference in the heart applied behind everything they do, instead of UFC Gym just wanting money and members. oh and stop SPAMMING me with emails of these scam «deals» you offer.
GO XBT! Go COREY!

I’ve been a member here since it was la boxing and over the years it’s gotten better and better! The gym itself is so upgraded. There’s definitely been a lot of money invested into the equipment and the gym itself. I always tell my friends that I’ve never gotten as good of a workout as I do here. I always leave accomplished and drenched in sweat. I would take the kickboxing and boxing classes and they were always high energy with good music. The coaches running the classes always walk around the class correcting people’s form and giving advice. The people that come here are all sweet too.
They also have a weight training area and cardio machines! Machines are all up to date.
The place is under new management and the new manager Matt is pretty chill. I unfortunately had to cancel my membership and he made the process fast and easy unlike other gyms that try to choke you into staying.
I highly recommend this place especially if you’re tired of the same old boring workouts you get elsewhere.

I have taken a few private lessons from Eduardo and it’s nice to know my trainer has actually fought in some MMA bouts. I am not looking to be any type of UFC fighter, but Eduardo’s knowledge and technical style helped me focus on what I needed to work on. He’s great for beginners because he’s patient and breaks things down so they are easy to understand.
The facility is great and a good spot to train if you live in the area. Every one of the staff members is or seems genuinely friendly and you can’t ask for anything but that, so I applaud you all.

From the moment I called for information to the moment I signed up I have had great service. Ivan was the rep that helped me through everything from understanding pricing to recommending classes and trainers and I am so grateful for the help and compassion he showed me through everything. He went above and beyond to help me. He wasn’t over barring like the other ufc gyms I had checked out. He didn’t rush me or ask me to sign up right when I walk in like other gyms did. He was what I called perfect and professional. His presentation on how he carried himself and how he represented the gym was phenomenal and I have been a member for only a few week now but don’t regret the decision I have made at all. All I can say is thank you so much to Ivan to making it an easy process and great experience. I recommend anyone and everyone to speak with him if you have any questions and concerns.
I also would recommend Danny and Kevin who are both coaches. Danny coaches a few classes but the class I have been going to is his D.U.T class. I am the slowest one in the class and not once did he make me feel left out or make me feel like I was slowing down the class. He is a great coach and knows how to makes everyone fill involved and knows how to push you to your limits.
I do personal training with Kevin and he is great. I was really nervous for my one on one personal training and he reassured me that he will help me reach my goals and not once have I doubted him. not only do I have a work out plant at the gym I also have a work out plan at home that I follow. its really great because I really do believe that he cares about my wellbeing. Kevin goes the extra mile checks up on me through out the week and makes sure I’m on top of my work out plan or just to see how I am doing and feeling from the past work outs we have worked on that week. I am completely confident in that I will reach my goals in the future.
I am 100% completely satisfied with this gym. The staff is simply amazing I have never felt more comfortable in a gym it seriously has a family and home atmosphere and it really is great. THANK YOU
