UFC GYM San Bruno

I’ve trained across multiple disciplines in and around the San Francisco Bay area and let me say that coach Anthony is by far the best Kickboxing/​Boxing instructor ever. He knows your limits and knows how to push you, without being a complete drill sergeant. I love the structure of his class and the combos he puts together (obviously, different depending on skill level, experience, etc.) His focus always remains on foundation and building skill from there, which is great. Unlike most places, he actually takes the time to walk around to correct, and to challenge each individual.
This gym also offers Jiu-​jitsu classes but I believe it’s no gi only. There’s limited space (half an octagon) so drills may be challenging. If you’re like me and love the many moves leveraging gi chokes, sweeps, holds, etc., this may not be the best facility for it.

Great classes and staff. If you have limited time in your busy schedule and are looking for a high intensity workout that can be done in one hour, look no further!

My coworker and I started coming here after work (515pm classes) and love it. It is my second workout of the day, def feeling it. The teachers are great; Teaching us technique and getting is a great workout at the same time.

GOODLUCK CANCELLING your account. The staff or even the GM is not taking their responsibility doing what NEEDS to be done. They would give you the run around EVEN if you already signed the CANCELLATION form they would keep on charging you every single month and they would fight you on your bank dispute claims. In short its HARASSMENT and I am close to filing for emotional distress & fraud.

I’ve taken classes with both Anthony and Kurtis and they are amazing! I’m a beginner and they really take the time to help you out with technique. They are incredibly motivating instructors!

This place was super great and the trainers were all amazing. I had never boxed before and was a little apprehensive about how my experience would be. I was intimidated to say the least, and decided to purchase a Groupon for classes at UFC Gym San Bruno. The staff were very helpful and kind when answering questions… and also helped with wrapping my hands! I did kick boxing and a few boxing conditioning lessons. I enjoyed my time there and they were pretty tough workouts! I definitely felt sore but honestly, so energized after taking some of these classes. I would definitely recommend coming here! The trainers are very dedicated to their work! I went to classes taught by Alexis, Kurtis, and Anthony. All super great!

As a female who is used to working out at home, I was at first intimidated by the thought of joining a boxing gym that was male dominated. But I decided to walk in randomly to check it out and noticed there were plenty of men and women of all shapes and sizes taking the class.
I’ve been going for several months now and have had nothing but positive experiences. The classes I’ve attended so far have been coached by Anthony, Kurtis and Alexis. You will definitely leave sweating, but you won’t regret it. Even if you are a beginner, they still motivate you and will individually show you how to improve.
I’m not aspiring to be like Ronda Rousey or Holly Holm, but attending these classes have only made me love boxing more. And this is coming from someone who likes pilates.
I think they occasionally have groupon deals. Definitely worth trying.

I have been going to UFC gym and I have only attended around 6 classes all in a span of 2 weeks, and I have lost a little more than 6 lbs. The classes are fun and challenging and the instructors actually pay attention to you.

Love this place. I thought i was in-​shape lifting weights in the gym by myself, but once I started training, i found out how far I am from being fit. The boxing coach Anthony is very skilled in martial arts. He takes his time with his students. You can tell he loves his job. Highly recommend!

I love how welcoming the employees are over here! I’m new to this type of activity but when I came in they totally made me feel at ease. The instructor I had on my first day was Kurtis and um kicked my ass! His class was fun because it was high intensity and will make you sweat buckets while toning your body. Seriously for the whole hour I felt like I did so much! I haven’t been able to be back due to work schedule change but will be back hopefully tomorrow. Oh yeah, no judgements here. Everyone’s focus trying to get their work in and their techniques right just like how you would be in class. It’s awesome! The gym is small but they have pretty much what you need and it’s going to be up to you with how much work you wanna put in every time! They offer great schedule and through out the week. I just hope there’s more evening classes though because sometimes I get off late.
If you’ve been thinking, just go and try it out! It doesn’t hurt to try!
*UPDATE* READ BELOW.
Eh too good to be true. I mean don’t get me wrong the class I took from Kurtis was good but the customer service up front though, let’s talk about that.
I came in few days after my first trial and as I waited patiently for any of the front desk to finish assisting the guy that helped me (I think he’s Samoan I could be wrong) greeted me. Then I told him that I was there for my second day with the groupon voucher that I had purchased. He told me to sign in with the groupon binder that they have. While looking for it, this other guy who was there (tall, Hispanic? glasses, semi balding and couldn’t find his hairline, and flabby big — whatever he’s the one who’s always trying to throw down packages at you) interrupted me and asked what I was there for. I told him I wanted to sign in and take class. While I was looking through for my sign in sheet, he saw me struggling coz I couldn’t find it and he goes «well your last name starts with an L right look there» with this sarcasticass attitude. UH NO SHIT but since y’all lost my sheet I was making sure and looking through the pages. First of all I shouldn’t even look through like that if they organized it. But the binder wasn’t and sheets were everywhere. So by then I’m already like 10 mins late into class, and I know how annoying it is when students are late to classes because it disrupts the flow and focus of the class. I didn’t want to take the class anymore and decided to just take the next day’s class. Also, I asked if it was okay for beginner to join the kickboxing technique class full of advanced students and he gave me another attitude «well it’s a class right?»…what? Uh yes it’s a class and classes have diff levels of difficulty so that’s why I asked or maybe they were in it for privates. WTFUCK like maybe there was a fcking punching bag up his ass, he’s so rude… And I did see that they had an offer of a discounted price for their wraps. So I asked if I can redeem the coupon. Again, with his smartass remarks «so you’re just gonna come here to get wraps?» WTF YES I CAN COME HERE TO BUY WRAPS IF I WANT TO and leave. WTFUCK kind of customer service was that? 1. You killed my vibe and got me late to take the class with your unorganized sign in binder and 2. Don’t really need your weakass remarks. Anyway, after the transaction… he just pretty much threw the wraps to me like it was such a hassle to punch in the numbers onto their pos and didn’t even bother to ask if I wanted a copy of receipt or not. And oh yeah no thank you or anything he just walked away after throwing it. Ugh wtfuck. So irritated I will not go back to this place. That douche really killed it for me and such a bad experience for newcomers.

Anthony is a Great trainer! Very friendly & provides the positive energy you can feed off of during class (for those who lack motivation from time to time like me).

The new General Manager Chuck is very customer service oriented. As a matter of fact, I believe that 90% of the staff is VERY customer service oriented. Chuck recently helped me through an ordeal regarding my membership usage within a reasonable amount of time.
The workers Robbie and Kurtis have always been very helpful in person and over the phone regarding questions about training or anything regarding membership.
This gym (and their corporate gyms + other franchisees) appear to be very family oriented. There are classes to take for both kids and adults. The majority of their trainers also push you to get a good workout.
The actual owner of this gym doesn’t seem to be very involved so for what the staff has to work with, they do a good job. However please be aware that you cannot sign up for a «All access pass» and expect to be able to workout at corporate gyms. Make sure the salesman pitches you right.

this place has really gone downhill is a short amount of time. the water fountain is routinely broken (and the front desk still charges $ 1 for bottled water; the fountain is broken!), the thai pads and mitts are old, smell and ripped. the facility (ring, half cage, etc.,) rarely seems clean. the machines are old and out-​dated; there’s still only one stationary bike, one elliptical and two treadmills, and i’m pretty sure they’re the original equipment from when the gym opened in 2008.
the gym is too small now (it’s the only UFC gym that i know of with only a half cage and not a full one), and there’s an open store front right next door (get the hint!). also, there’s been consistent changes in instructors, staff and managers. bottom line — you would think after several years, the owners would try to improve this place, but yes, it’s gone downhill and seems like they’re just in it to make money. get it together!

Been going to the Hawaii one since it opened n this one continues with the family spirit n diff workout routines every session. You must go n check it out n jump in a class, beginners to advanced are all welcomed. Not fancy as other UFC gyms but gets the job done!

Nice gym, good instructors. I had a good workout there too. It could stand to expand, but overall serves it’s purpose.

I have tried this 5 years ago and now am back again because really no where else is as effective as kickboxing to burn that love handle fast and tone you up, you will be more mentally agile and physically pumped in no time.
Start off with a boxing class and gradually get into Mike’s kickboxing classes, especially Sunday mornings if you are up for a challenge. Also try Anthony’s 6:15 Wednesday morning class! i am not a morning person but this class is so worth it! Anthony focuses alot on proper form, taking care of your joints while you workout, and real life concept of boxing while making you sweat, Mike’s a great instructor as well, if you wanna be sculpted in a week his class will probably do it!!!
Kurtis’s class is the BOMB!!! Lots of variation and killer squats ;) And when you decide to sign up he really walks you through the process and what I really love is that there is no pressure! Try it out, I am excited for you!

I’m in the bay area for a project. Coming from Mendez Boxing Gym and Church St. Boxing Gym in NYC where I usually workout, my standards are pretty high. However, the UFC gym in San Bruno is by far one of the best boxing gyms I’ve been. The place is clean (with new hitting bags), properly ventilated with tons of room to workout. They even provide towels and a cold drinking fountain.
Located just 10 miles outside (15 min drive) of downtown SF and walking distance away from the San Bruno BART station. I worked in the downtown SF and would use BART to come down and take the classes. They have classes during the week all day starting at 6am to 8pm.
As far as the classes, they are all different and challenging. PLUS, the trainers don’t yell at you in a negative way (like NYC), they are tough, but encouraging.
My favorite trainer by far is Anthony. He teaches the morning boxing and kickboxing classes and also ultimate training classes. Anthony got to know my by name and prior to my first class with him, he also asked me if I had any injuries (I had knee surgery last year). From that point, he always watched out for me when I would not use my hips to ensure I would not put stress on my knees. His classes are intense, but if you’re just a beginner he will spend time with you one on one to correct and properly teach you during the class. Anthony’s boxing classes range from upper body to intense abs. He always, «most of you are here to get in shape, but if you had to use this on the street, it will work if done properly.»
I also liked LaRon’s class. He’s a hardcore heavyweight boxer they will help you with technique.
I would highly recommend UFC San Bruno for anyone in the bay area.

I’ve been meaning to write a review about this place. It’s frickin awesome period. The trainers are really what your paying for. They are all super helpful and make sure you do things correctly so you don’t hurt yourself. They stay pushing you to your own limits. My favorite trainer is Anthony he can be super hard core at times and you feel burn even after a session with him is done. Another one that’s fun to workout I don’t know his name but we call him the easy money guy. When he sees you struggling he yells out you got this its easy money! Yes 24 hour fitness is cheaper but if your like me who won’t go and workout unless someone is there pushing you then there’s no point to have it. Here they will have you putting in work even when you want to stop.

I Love this gym! I started a year ago. Every class is different. The variety that each class offers, makes working out fun. Within the first six months I lost 20 lbs and toned up. I started with 1 class boxing or kickboxing about 5 times a week. Now I’m in Muay Thai kickboxing and doing back to back classes. They welcome all fitness levels. The instructors are absolutely wonderful. I decided to also take personal training to perfect my technique. I highly recommend personal training if you are a beginner or if you want to improve. People ask me all the time what differences I’ve noticed since starting. My response «toning, weight loss, self defense, confidence, endurance, strength, and conditioning. What I treasure most, are the close friends I’ve made since joining.

Great place, YOu can tell The instructors have experience fighting.
THey know you well right away, by the way they analyze you real well it shows they have skill. Some different workouts here, its pretty amazing.
The instructor showed me some great new techniques.
These people have a real close vibe which helps create great teamwork.
I like how they get you in to sparring. I like a good challenge and I like a workout I can feel and they have that all right here. They have a cool lil gym area too with great cardio equipment. If you have the money upfront the best deal would be $ 800 for the whole yr.
