UFC Gym

This place is awesome! I have tried out two of their classes, one with Jesse and one with Jeff, both classes were excellent! I am tired of going to 24 hour fitness and this is exactly what I’m looking for! Everyone is so nice, the energy is great, the place is clean! Ed the general manager is very helpful, no pressure and willing to work with you to get you started. This place sells itself!!! Looking for a new gym, this is the place!

Still love this gym! Just wanted to send another review with an update about the new trainer Cole. My husband and I love taking his classes. He makes the workout fun and different everytime. The workouts are tough and he usually adds in MMA style training. Highly recommend taking his classes.

I’ve been coming to this place for three weeks now and I can’t recommend it enough. Attention to detail, friendly staff, great coaches, classes throughout the day. I have nothing to criticize about this place.
It suits all purposes, whether you want to do martial arts, self defense or tone up. The place is always clean, good atmosphere, and it brings out the best in you. Highly recommended.

Gym is looking good again.

Love this gym!
I feel strong and powerful after only a few months at this gym.
The classes are fun and HARD, but since the trainers are so encouraging, I get through the work out knowing that I pushed myself as hard as I could.
My husband noticed a change in my body after my first workout!
I’m proudly wearing my ‘old’ clothes again! (Meaning I’m out of maternity wear!)
I would recommend this gym to all my friends.
And I recommend getting your first one on one training session done right away. It will help you accomplish your goals.

I LOVE this gym! I remember being gone for a few weeks because of vacation and travel and the employees didn’t make me feel bad for missing — they welcomed me back and told me that they had missed me! My trainer, Jesse kicks my butt. I am so sore leaving there. They challenge me and make me feel like a hundred bucks when I leave. My favorite gym and the best experience!

After attempting to cancel this membership three times in writing they continued to charge my bank acct. went in and was assured all was taken care of. Just got a snippy call wanting someone to pay the bill! You have got to be kidding me! Don’t ever put your checking acct on any info with these people and get all cancellations in writing from THEM. They won’t get a dime more from us!

LOVE THIS GYM!!! They offer a bunch of classes and the instructors are always helpful and they make sure you use good form so you don’t hurt yourself. I always laugh in class too lol-​really good vibes here. They will modify exercises for you if you’re injured. I feel like they really care about people at UFC YL. It never gets boring and it’s ALWAYS challenging. Stop making excuses and join UFC:)

Should read 4.25 stars…
I went twice to the UFC Gym and I am definitely more than a fan. Here’s why:
***Price: Packages at UFC Gym Yorba Linda are super reasonable. They have deals that can get your average month price down to $ 50 if you pre-​pay. Even if you don’t go that extreme, from the looks of it, you could keep your dues under $ 100, which is way better than the gym I go to now
***Class Schedule: If you’re interested in boxing/​kickboxing, they have a TON of classes every day. That includes Sunday! And they do sparring on Saturday!
***Class Structure: In general, I liked the structure of the classes, starting with the warm up where you run around the bags, do some interval training stuff then moving to the combos and finishing with conditioning. It was different the two times I went and the class passed quickly.
So this is a weird review for me because how can you be «more than a fan» of a gym you didn’t join? Yes, you read this right, I didn’t join… In January I ate some ice snowboarding and I dislocated plus broke my elbow, so during the time I tried out UFC YL I was «no impact» to the bags on one arm and unable to put pressure/​hold myself up. While I am not afraid of one-​armed burpies or modifications, the two UFC classes I went to, couldn’t get my heart rate to where I needed it to be. I am not sure if its because exercises like inchworms were something I had to sit out, or if it was the one arm on the heavy bags… even if I was running, I just couldn’t get to the same level of intensity as the Insanity-​based programs that I came from and ended up joining.
Now that I can put some pressure back on the arm (don’t watch my push-​ups, it’s sad), I plan on calling UFC YL up again to try another workout. I’m not entirely sure if the heavy bag thing is for me and may be another reason why I was having an issue finding the right intensity level, however for price, class schedule, and class structure this place is almost Woohoo! As good as it gets!

This place is great! I needed a place to work out when I come into town for work and they have been awesome working with me even setting up a same day one-​on-​one. Jesse runs an amazing class that is fun and a killer work out. I will absolutely be back when I am back in town. :)

UFC Gyms (many use to be LA Boxing) are full of inspired passionate people who are committed to helping each other and every single customer that walks in the door. They offer a variety of boxing and kickboxing classes taught by varying teachers often professional fighters or coaches in their own respect. If you are looking for a mix of challenging classes that are sure to build muscle, burn fat and make you really sweat but are often shy or nervous to new situations– this is the gym for you! Dillon the GM here is an incredible manager with years of knowledge and experience in this gym, its members and the fitness field. Most importantly he goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is moving forward towards their fitness goals in a welcoming environment with friendly professionals qualified to teach you your first class or train you in advanced techniques and competing levels.
When I first joined I was out of shape and intimidated by such an intense sport but now I feel as though I belong and actually look forward to working out and being around all of these amazing people here.

This gym is fantastic. First off, all the trainers are masters in their sport. Excellent coaches and teachers with positive non-​threatening attitudes. Totally there to instruct technique and motivate each member of the class. The work outs are INTENSE and a fantastic work out. You have to try a class, I’ve been going for the past 6 months and still really enjoy the challenge.

If you are looking for a great workout all the time, friendly staff and great trainers, this is the gym for you. Everyone is here is close like a family, know you by name, and will get you the results you are looking for. I have been to a few gyms and now that i have found ufc, the search for a great gym is over. Fred the front desk guy and juelz the trainer are both great, actually everyone who works here is top tier. Highly recommended!

New management = happy nick. Great customer service now and a great all around atmosphere at this location. So glad I joined

UFC Gym, Yorba Linda, is more than a place to go to get an awesome ass-​kicking workout. UFC is an actual community. I love the dichotomy of many of the professional fight trainers coming in with bruised noses and the occasional pink shirt to celebrate one of its members fight against breast cancer. Everyone here is the real deal. They start classes on time and end them on time. As most anyone knows, sometimes you just need to hit something… they provide many bags to choose from. Their kickboxing classes are so much better than a martini at the end of the day. Go UFC!

My review from January when this was still LA Boxing:
I went into UFC Gym out of curiosity and Luis (an absolute doll) answered allllll my questions, then offered me a free lesson with a personal trainer. The trainer, Julian, was nice enough to meet me later the same day. I already work out regularly at 24 hour fitness but hitting the elliptical, stair climber and weights (or as I call it, my ‘rinse and repeat’ work out) had become so boring, I wanted to try something different– I wanted something that would be both fun and challenging.
After my first boxing lesson with Julian, I was sold. I have never experienced a workout like this– it was only a 30 minute workout but it left my entire body REALLY sore for 3 days– 3 whole days!!! I felt like I had done MORE than 10 of my usual workouts all at once. Amazing.
Atmosphere–
Very comfortable and casual– It seems like everyone knows everyone here. They know you by name when you walk in the door and they shout bye when you head out. Everyone is friendly and talkative, and I was really impressed at the range of people; in a single class, both men and women, age range from kids to 60+, beginner to advanced, overweight and fit. This is a smaller gym but there is always plenty of space for whatever you want to do. Mid-​day, the gym is practically empty so you can even request the music you want while you practice your combos.
Classes–
The classes are unlike anything I had seen before– everyone goes at their own pace doing various moves at different times with the instructor stepping in to help with technique. Some practice jabs, others focus on kicks or pushups and run the rope… it’s more like a semi-​personal training session than a class. There’s no pretty line of perfect bodies moving in unison– it’s a casual chaos that burns 1000 calories doing your own thing. I wish all workout classes were like this– no one would ever worry about being the uncoordinated odd ball trying to hide in the back!
Pricing–
I was lucky enough to come in when they are having a promotion– I signed up for the gym and bought a package of personal training sessions. My initial signup came to about $ 450+ which included gym access, unlimited classes, 3 personal training sessions and boxing gloves/​wraps. Additional personal training was more– the promotion was 10 private lessons for about $ 370 (About 50% off.) They also have a promotion for those who choose to pay the full membership in advance which comes out to about $ 40 a month– approx half the price of month to month. If you want to try it for a month or so before committing to full pre-​payment, they will put all initial payment toward a long term option when you are ready– can’t beat that!
I happen to be a professional health blogger and after sharing this with some of my readers, I know the cost is a bit steep to some people. I say… take into consideration that this is not your average gym, and definitely not your average workout– it’s learning an entirely new skill set and a far more advanced approach to fitness. If you want the health benefits that come with being a boxer, yes it will cost you… but consider this an investment in your health, fitness and confidence level. Worth every penny.
Boxing glove thumbs up!
I recommend UFC Gyms for anyone tired of feeling like a mouse running on a wheel week after week at other gyms. Even if you’re just curious, go in and talk to them– ask 50 million questions and have him show you how to wrap your hands, throw a jab and an undercut… then have a session with Julian and you’ll know you will never have another boring workout again!

I really enjoy the kick boxing class. It’s a great overall work out. The staff is friendly and very helpful. It’s not over crowded. Equipment is always available.
My husband loves their early AM classes.
Rates are reasonable and affordable.
I look forward to going.
