I'm frustrated because online says they are open and it indicates the triple play is only good for a short time and only for this location. I'm hoping they will get back to me soon and I can change my review but for now be careful and call before you schedule.

Also great to know some self defense. I'm 62 and there's a nice crew of participant who all help each other. I see a lot of kids during the afternoons and they love it too. Staff is positive friendly and professional.

RESPONSE TO BUSINESS REPLY IN ANOTHER REVIEW. I'm keeping…read morethis anonymous, as this business has a history of harassing former students, and although I'm not sure if they've ever done it over what I'll discuss in this review, I don't want to risk it. A small disclaimer that I am not a current student, so it's possible that things have changed. Highly unlikely, but still possible. There are many issues with Steve Sohn's gym, not the least of which is Krav Maga itself. This is not an effective self defense form in the slightest. If you need to tell your partner to stand differently or use their other hand in order to for you to complete the technique, it's not a good technique. And most of the techniques are not good. The "choke from the front one hand pluck" defense is tragic. It involves "plucking" the attacker's hand from your throat. If that were possible for most people, no one would feel the need to learn self defense. The instructors at this gym refuse to acknowledge that size, sex, and age DO matter, and that things that are possible for 6'0 men may very well not be for 5'5 women. This refusal is dangerous. The last thing any woman needs is to be delusional about whether she can protect herself. Krav Maga is marketed as the most effective form of self defense for anyone and everyone, but it's actually the complete opposite. If you are anyone who isn't a man who is over 6'0 and in excellent shape, Krav Maga techniques will not help you. From the outside looking in, Krav Maga looks very impressive. Very cinematic. But life is not cinema. Do Muay Thai or BJJ. You can likely do both for a fraction of what you'd pay at this place, and learn something valuable in the process. Now on to the more touchy part. This is a shady operation. I've heard/seen other stories about their sketchy money antics, but I'm not here to talk about that. The main instructor has an odd view of women. He seems simultaneously amused and angered by them, and will disproportionately and relentlessly use them in unnecessary demonstrations of techniques. He doesn't fully respect when they tap out. If he stops at all, he stops for 30 seconds and then continues whatever it was he was doing. Tapping out is sacred. Once someone taps, you stop. It doesn't matter how you feel about it. You stop. Not him, though. I have pictures on my phone of bruises that were caused by him not respecting when I tapped out. He spends a lot of time making sure everyone in the room hears him get verbal consent to touch someone's ankle or wrist, saying he doesn't want to "catch an accusation". A small amount of that would be understandable, but it's unbelievable. Why talk about it so much? I counted one class how many times, and in a 1 hour class, it was 11 times. Why? The owner is very, VERY friendly with young, single women. Not as friendly with older, married ones. He is overly handsy with the women, and will pass flirtatious comments to them as well, despite being an elderly man with a wife and family. Weird. It comes down to this: A Krav Maga student is vulnerable. The intricate techniques are useless in a real situation. Maybe the weapon defense ones work, but the hand to hand combat ones do not. If you don't want to listen to this review or your own common sense, look it up. Look on YouTube, martial arts forums, social media. ANYWHERE. It's not real, and making people believe they're in a position to protect themselves and their families when they very much are not is neglectful at best, but based on their history with stealing money from former students, it's probably more manipulation than neglect. Don't allow yourself to fall for it. I would LOVE to see a fight between a student from this place and a student from any MMA gym anywhere. Maybe that's what it would take to convince Krav students that they're wasting their time and money. Don't come here. Especially not if you're a woman. There's a reason very few of the women that start there stay there, and it's not because it's "too hard". Other dojos and gyms in Westchester have a significantly higher female student retention rate than this one. But even if you're a man, why waste your time?

Wish there was a gym like this when I was a little younger…read more Anyway, it's 5 stars to balance some of the unfair reviews I've seen - though I'd easily give this place over 4 anyway, It's clean inside, which is not the case in quite a lot of gyms. I've been to enough gyms to see that cleansing is not always the case. If you leave it up to the patrons or members, then chances are you're going to see evidence of someone's sweat lingering on the equipment you plan on using. While not overly huge (other UFC gyms are larger), it's sizable enough depending on what you're planning to do. There's more than enough bags to use, a speed bag, treadmill, benches, bikes, elliptical machines, and other random things. There's gloves you can borrow for a bout with the bag, but make sure you sanitize when you're done. There's plenty of UFC merchanise available to purchase as well depending on what you're interested in. There's also an octagon cage available for classes and practice, My son's in one of the classes there and the instructor is great. I really wish there was a mma/jujitsu class around back in my youth, The staff is always friendly. It's located on the corner in a fairly busy section of White Plains. Street parking is horrendous and the meter police are all over the place looking for any excuse to get White Plains money - so park in the municipal parking lot behind the building - it's about $1 an hour. So overall a great gym. I plan to get a membership soon myself to pound on the bags at will. If you're curious, I would ask about a trial membership. Recommended.

Honestly, DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! Ignore at all costs! THEY…read moreWANT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY... Literally!! I was a member for a year in mamaroneck and loved it there but once white plains gym opened I decided to change my gym to the ufc in white plains. I regret my decision. Staff members are rude there! Very disrespectful! I cancelled my membership back in November and my bank account let me know in December that ufc gym tried to take out monthly charge! I was surprised, called ufc immediately. The young girl up front answered and was very rude. I talked to a manager named Jeff back in November he said everything was fine, after the upcoming payment was paid I would not be charged and membership would be cancelled. A few days ago a third party collector called me about ufc .. And I was surprised again! I called ufc and Damien, the GM, spoke to me. He let me know Jeff is no longer there and whatever Jeff has told me about my account being canceled is a lie. He also said I needed to pay for December! It's ridiculous! I asked to speak to someone higher than him and he transferred me to the owner Dean Ballantoni.... ITS BEEN A WEEK AND THIS GUY HAS NOT CONTACTED ME BACK! All ufc staff member keep saying is I have to pay the month of December, which I never attended once and didn't even know my account was still not cancelled. Now I am stuck paying a whole month for no reason!!!!!

I signed up for a couple of months and here's what I can tell you:…read more The place is much bigger than it looks on the outside. The place is immaculate - clean and well maintained. There is gym equipment available for members; weights, treadmill, stair stepper, etc. The staff are incredibly friendly. Frank is a great owner and there very often. Walks around and says hi to everyone. Everyone from the extremely fit to those just starting out participate. No judgement, very supportive people. The workouts are great and varied by each instructor. I ended my membership for personal reasons - nothing to do with them, they were fantastic - and they made that super easy. I followed the instructions on the agreement and they executed it without any pressure or anything like that. If you're on the fence, I encourage you to give it try! It's a great place!
