UFC GYM Rosemead

UFC Rosemead is a gym that offers Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Judo and other cardio classes as well as being a regular gym.
This gym has so much to offer for such a great price. Something that stands out at this gym is the ring. The ring, which is located in the middle of the gym, allows gym goers to grapple and practice technique.
I was impressed with the women’s lockers room. It is clean and tidy and has a sauna. Only down part to this gym is the equipment. Unfortunately, it is not the cleanest.

I love UFC. Aside from that, Ben Hernandez is the best trainer. Make sure you at least get a chance to dialogue with him if not train with him. He’s all about you and shows you how to surpass your limits. UFC is all about comradery, training, motivation, goals, and bomb music. It’s open 24hrs. Very Friendly and professional crew working at this site. Ben is an awesome trainer. Jason Carter will hook you up with great deals, so will Roel Vega. All of these guys have bombastic and truly down to earth personalities

Serious gym here. I have been going to this gym for a couple of months and i love it here.
The reason why is everyone is trying to actually work out and not just chill and hang out. People are actually serious about their gains here. This place is like a huge play ground for kids too.
They have a sled, multiple ropes, oly lift area, an octagon in the middle of the gym, wrestling room, punching bags, stairs, stair masters, and also alot others.
This place is also clean. Like ALMOST everyone re-​racks their weights. at other gym i have to circle the gym a couple of times before i can find a dumb bell.

Been a member for about a month now. So far, it’s been a great gym the only thing I didn’t like was the price 79/​mo and the sign up fee ~80 they also take first and last month which is a pain in the a**. The dude who signed me up also promised a gym bag but never followed through. Though, I’ve got to say, the classes (muay Thai and bjj) are great. The instructors are friendly and they push you, each and every time.
The only thing that worries me is, if I ever do decide I want to change my membership, all the reviews of people trying to change or freeze usually get screwed so buyer beware. Other than that, the armbar is a nice little stand to get a quick protein shake and they even sell gis, cups, protein, suppliments, gloves and hand wraps. Also, 24 hrs, infinite classes and you can go to multiple locations. Best gym I’ve been apart of and better than any martial arts gym that I’ve done.
I will update this as I have more to add!

By far the best gym experience I’ve endured. Serious about getting healthy, fit, and long term results? Than UFC is the place to be. The energy is pumped up with coaches eager to help, guide and support your personal needs, the café features delicious food choices as well as various healthy drinks with knowledgeable individuals to help guide us in the right direction. If you’re looking to get fit in 2016 UFC would be the best choice to achieve your fitness goals in my opinion. Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight, build muscle tone, increase your energy levels I am positive UFC has equipment, coaches and staff to support you on your fitness quest. Join us today and ask for Rowell, Henry, or Jason or any one of their staff, you will be glad you did~

Trainer Almon Hung is on point in his training and meal plans. He got me to my goal for the new year and more. If your looking for someone to push you throw your pike he’s the guy.

Great gym overall! Very clean and the staffs are all very nice. They provide a variety of gym equipment from free weight to machines. Plenty of staff to help you start a great training program, and if you get the prepaid deal for 24 months it’s relatively cheap!

I love this gym! Hands down the best gym I’ve been to. The vibe here is unlike any other gym.
Way better than the la for across the street
Pros: friendly staff: especially January and Yoel :)
Always plenty of parking
Tvs all over the place
A little snack bar to get food and drinks
Very clean equipment
Plenty of equipment
Hardly ever a machine needing maintenance
The sauna and locker rooms are nice and for the most part always clean
Very convenient location
Cons: none that I can think of. I have yet to have any bad experience here.
Everyone that’s into fitness should definitely give this gym a try! It’s my second home :)

Definitely prefer this gym over LA Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness. High ceilings allow it to still feel pretty open despite how crowded it can get. Plenty of machines and more available than other gyms. They offer fitness classes that are a step up from other exercise classes at other gyms. Majority of the people that work out here are above average fit, which definitely gives you motivation to work out a little harder.
The people that work here are overall not bad to look at and are all friendly, which is always a plus. Love getting the protein shakes at the Arm Bar. I always get the Muay Thai or the Kimura. They also offer a good variety of merchandise, protein and supplements.
Nice sauna, clean bathrooms, overall clean gym and nice athletic, modern décor.

This place puts a bad taste in my mouth. On the one hand, the classes are great. But the trainers are extremely aggressive and rude. My trainer was Naja and although my health did improve during my training with her, I felt that some of the things she said or did were unprofessional:
1. She told me before our first session that she’d be available through text at any point during the week for moral support. This was not true.
2. Nearing our last personal training session, I was telling her that I couldn’t afford training anymore and she asked me if I could put it on a credit card (so she can get paid while I go into debt at a high interest rate?) or ask my parents. At that point I had to tell her that at that moment in time, both parents were unemployed. I shouldn’t have been put into the position to admit that, but she kept probing. Do you see my point about them being extremely aggressive and just plain inappropriate?
3. I bought some group fitness sessions with her and she didn’t honor 1 or 2 of them.
4. She missed our session once and texted me well after the session was over. No one knew where she was. Sent me a short text to apologize, didn’t even call.
What shitty customer service. I’m in a customer service role right now and we would never act like that.

The moment you step in you get that nice whiff of everyone getting their butt kicked from working out. It does a smell but you’ll get use to it after a few minutes!
I was one of those guys who were like YEAH NEW YEAR NEW ME! My other friends already had a membership here and suggested me to sign up with them to get a discount. We had about 6 people that signed up at the same time. We got a great deal for 3 years and a certain amount of money. Broken down WAAAY cheaper than any costco deal out there. So thats definitely a plus! They weren’t pushy at all, no bull like stating they just got off a meeting with their boss and the offer only lasts for 15 minutes or else the deal was gone.
Gave us a option of giving us the tour around the gym. We declined and he said no problem! I’ve been to other gyms that do a mandatory tour and try to sell you on joining the gym.
The thing about this gym that i enjoy a lot is that majority of the people here are serious. Here to work out then get out. I’ve been to other gyms where people come to the gym to hang out use their phones and what not. Majority of the time people re-​rack their weights when they are done which is awesome!
It does get super hectic around 5pm-​10pm due to everyone getting off work and the classes that are going on. I try my best to go during noon or later at night time.
Plenty of squat platforms, bench, dumbbells, kettlebells, balls, stairmasters, ellipticals, punching bag room, cushion mats, treadmills. There also a sauna, but no pool which I don’t care for.
There’s also a spot to grab some food and shakes. Called the Arm Bar. Never been, but occasionally they would give out free samples where you check in. All the samples i’ve gotten was delicious!
They blast music, most of the time music that gets you pumped.
Tldr; Plenty of equipment, motivated people, crowded around 5−10pm, free sample shakes sometimes. This is the gym for me.

I needed a gym near work and ended up signing up for UFC since my coworkers warned about the other overcrowded local 24 hour fitnesses/​LA fitnesses
GLAD I DID, UFC never has a wait and there’s always availability for classes. Sure it’s a bit pricey, i’m paying $ 79/​monthly for the option that gives me the freedom of taking any class (vs $ 44 for the option that limits the types of classes you can take) but i don’t mind the pricey so i can work out with ease
—Daily Ultimate Training class: similar to bootcamp, a full body work out that gets me sweating like crazy at the end of it!
—TRX class: suspension training that i feel targets more control of your muscles
—Cycling class: wasn’t a huge fan of this, which is why i upgraded to the more expensive option that includes the above two classes
and so many more classes to try! this location seems to offer more classes than other locations, has a food bar, and hosts events i’ve heard
NOTE: ask about getting a deal on registration fees if you sign up on the first day of your free 3 day trial pass

I can’t believe 2 years have passed and its renewal time already. Jason Cater initially signed me up and he wasn’t in today but Danny Bartoli, the Member Specialist, helped me with the renewal process and he was great. He made the renewal process super easy and fast, and most importantly, gave me a great, great deal for almost $ 10 a month. Prior to, my contact was close to $ 20 a month. (2 year contact, of course.). I recommend anyone looking for a new gym to give this place a try. Look for Danny Bartoli and mention my name; he’ll give you a free 15-​day pass. Danny Bartoli is the guy with the awesome accent. I love UFC Gym.

I’ve been going here a few months now. I’ve never liked a gym more. I love the vibe here. I love the typical person at this UFC gym. The people here are just no nonsense and serious about fitness. They don’t sit on their bench or machine and text. They don’t stand around taking 5 minute breaks in between sets, talking too much. They don’t worry about how they look or hang around only looking to flirt. They don’t even try to claim a particular bench or area as theirs for the rest of the day, as some alpha wannabes do at other gyms. And I’ve never felt a vibe of judgment here, at all, even from the insanely huge or fit.
The setup here is skewed towards free weights. I’ve never seen a bigger and more diverse weight set. Perhaps at Gold’s. Still, I have NEVER had to wait for a treadmill, machine, bench or weight set. Not once. And I work a 9 – 6 so I typically go at peak hours before or after work.
With an ultimate pass for $ 79 a month you can go to 30 classes a week or more if you wanted to, from boot camp to barbell conditioning to Brazilian jiu-​jitsu to muai Thai to cycling to boxing, all taught by first class instructors (Olympic hopefuls, for example). A cheaper pass will give you access to the many fitness classes, but not MMA classes. They have youth classes as well. I know my daughter is gonna kick ass when she’s a bit older. :)
The bathrooms, showers and locker rooms are new and kept very clean. Cleanest I’ve seen at a gym actually. Dudes are gross so it’s hard. Haven’t seen the ladies’.
Oh and the music is the best I’ve heard at a gym. Usually a mix of decent hip hop and edm.

This is probably the best run gym for the price that I have ever been a member of. The sign-​up process was totally easy, professional, and well-​priced for a month-​to-​month fee ($ 79 per month for all the classes you want such as BJJ, Muay Thai, and their version of crossfit).
I’ve been a member of another MMA gym for 2.5 years in Washington DC and paid $ 120 per month for only 3 classes per week. It was close to $ 200 for unlimited classes. I mention this because for the price, you can’t really beat the price of this gym and the professional front desk staff to the instructors.
Here are the minor downsides in my opinion. It is a «Mcdojo» in the sense that they instruct a lot of students. Probably many who quit after a few months (including myself which I’ll explain later) and it’s hard to bring a sense «family» you might get at a smaller MMA school. Because of that, the instruction wasn’t as good as my other gym, but I really think the reality is that to get good at MMA, you have to practice on your own. That means light sparring with friends on your own, roll BJJ with friends on your own, and do your crossfit moves on your own after learning the exercises. Could they help provide more instruction on form. Probably, but there’s only one instructor for each class of like 20 – 30 students so you’re not going to get individualized instruction. My other gym would have more instructors on hand so that helps a lot. Overall, this is an excellent gym and I can’t say anything negative.
I also liked their cancellation process. I thought I would get back into MMA, but I just didn’t get into it as I did in the past and decided to cancel after several months. The person who took my cancellation request was professional and all I had to do was sign a form. Having read the contract, I knew I would be liable for one more month of fees (you have to give 30 days advanced notice) and also I prepaid the last month. This is all laid out in the contract and I think those who are complaining aren’t reading the contract they signed and agreed to so you can’t really blame the gym. In fact, they made the cancellation process easier than what is written in the contract. Overall, you won’t go wrong with this gym.
And for those who are complaining, read your contract and ask questions to the sales staff before you sign anything.

Much better job with soap. It seems that even though light blinks some still comes out. Just make sure paper towel dispensers throughout gym are always full too. Thanks for keeping an eye on that.

I really wanted to like this gym. Unfortunately it fell short for me in the long run.
Dislikes:
— MUSIC! Seriously? When i workout at 4:30 a. m, I would like to hear some energetic/​upbeat/​hard music to get me going… not some boy-​band from the 90’s trying to cover a metal song or serenading me right back to sleep. This morning i felt like i was at a high school prom. If you’re going to play that crap, then 1) please go work at a daycare center 2) lower the music so people who want to stay focused can listen to their own ipods without having to hear a teenager screeching emo music (as you can tell, this really does bother me)
–Re-​Racking, so this gym never heard of this. If you want to spend time between supersets running around trying to find ez bars /​barbells /​dumbbells in the weight you need, good luck. Your rest time will increase past 30 sec/​1 min for sure. Even with planning this sh*t out before-​hand. Members are stupid to not re-​rack, however i’m not even mad at them. At 4am there should be no reason why weights are all over the floors. Employees don’t do their damn job.
— Scammers. When i first walked in, there was a sign on the door saying there was a special where there was no initiation fee. When i actually spoke with a Sales Rep, i wanted to see if he would even offer it to me… he didn’t. I had to go out of my way to mention it like it was a f**ing surprise. So my advice, make sure you just push for a deal, cuz all of their upfront fees are all bullsh*t.
Likes:
–Open 24 hrs
–Bike racks
–Equipment is nice, when there’s nobody on it or if you can find it on the floor

Been an ultimate member for 2 months and i love it, i come at a great time where it’s not too busy, the staff and trainera are always so helpful expecially with answering any questions.
What i love most about it aside from all the equipment. is the daycare hours, so convenient for me to being able to work out while my daughter is having her daycare time.

This is definitely one of the better gyms equipment wise but lately there has been some problems with the ventilation.
I’m usually towards the back with all the squat racks and it has been very poorly ventilated as of late making strength training incredibly difficulty.
3 stars for this place until they fix the ventilation!

Nope. Been very satisfied with UFC since I signed up but this changes everything.
I was told that if I refer someone, I would get a free month. January was the one that signed my referal and now is telling me I wouldn’t get the free month. My referal’s money is taken and I won’t be getting my free month. Nice business practice. Never gonna refer anyone and people ask me how I like this gym I’ll tell them 24 hour fitness is better.
