Threadmill and a great message
Karina C.

I love this gym! At first I honestly thought, "What am I even going to do here?" lol but I've been pleasantly surprised. I've taken Zumba, Glute Lab, and several HIIT classes, and I recommend them all. I've also started using the treadmill, which I used to avoid because I thought I hated it but it turns out I just didn't know how to use it. At UFC, the treadmills are super easy and comfortable to use. I also really enjoy the sauna (love it!) and I've recently started swimming in the pool. The recovery room is amazing and such a great bonus. Most of the coaches are really good. There was one instructor in a weekday HIIT class who felt a bit unprepared and the class wasn't very engaging, but Kiara's Saturday HIIT class is fantastic I absolutely love it. The gym is huge, has so many options, and for the price it's honestly a great value. I don't understand why it doesn't have 5 stars it really offers everything you need at an affordable membership.

I'm a frequent UFC gym go-er and I always recommend UFC to everyone but I cannot recommend this location for now. I've been to this location back to back since grand opening so this isnt even a review based on a one time visit. I understand this location just opened up but I wouldve hoped management invested in staff to keep this location nice and operational. My standards are set high from Rosemead location and this location fails short for a few reasons. Sanitation station are limited and lack solution. Even in the past 2 days I've been coming consecutively, the sanitation spray is empty or there are no bottles. Also there are lack of trash bins. Overall cleanliness. I understand theyre still less than a month from grand opening but theres still ton of equipment, boxes, etc laying around. The restrooms in the past 2 days has not had soap in the dispenser. They have the pump dispenser mounts and the ones on the counter and only the mount has been having soap yet the past 2 days, there has not been soap replaced. I noticed the same pieces of trash in the locker room like nobody is taking maintenance to sweep in there. The lowest floor by the stairs and weight area has a urine odor (I know cause I work at a hospital). In general, construction for this location is not fully complete so some areas are still blocked off. Staff is also non existent at the entrance but also no form of greeting. Parking is bad during peak hours but thats not their fault. The lot is just small. This is all just in comparison to Rosemead location. I only chose to come here cause its closer to home and theres more variety of equipments/machines. I only hope to provide this feedback so there is improvements in the future.

Literally the next day after taking the first pictures. The restroom was left exactly the same and this time no toilet paper.. 07/07/2026

I've trained at several UFC Gym locations, so I'm comparing this gym to the standard I've experienced at other locations--not to an unrealistic expectation. For the monthly membership fee, I expect a clean, organized, and well-maintained facility. Unfortunately, this location consistently falls short. The restrooms should be kept spotless. Equipment should be readily available, and the gym should be properly stocked with basic workout necessities. This location doesn't even have exercise mats, which are a fundamental piece of equipment for many workouts. On top of that, the dumbbells are often locked inside the classroom, limiting members' access to equipment during workouts. Another ongoing issue is cleanliness. I've noticed ants in the classroom on multiple occasions, which is concerning in a fitness facility. There also seems to be a lack of attention to keeping the sanitizing paper towel stations stocked, making it difficult for members to wipe down equipment after use. I also pay for a children's membership, and that experience has been equally disappointing. I've been able to observe many of the classes firsthand. Unfortunately, the classes often become chaotic, and the instructors don't seem to establish or maintain control of the group. I've also noticed that incorrect technique frequently goes uncorrected, which is concerning in a sport where proper form is important for both learning and safety. Considering that the children's membership is not inexpensive, I expected a much higher level of structure, instruction, and coaching. I also want to acknowledge that I've had consistently positive experiences with the front desk staff. They've always been friendly and welcoming. However, my experience after joining has been different when it comes to membership sales. There seems to be a strong focus on upgrading memberships, and those interactions haven't felt nearly as welcoming. What makes this especially disappointing is that I've trained at other UFC Gym locations that were consistently clean, organized, fully equipped, and well-managed. I know the brand is capable of providing a much better experience. I'm leaving this review in the hope that management takes these concerns seriously. Members are paying a premium membership, and the condition of this location should reflect that.

I signed up as a founding member of the gym back in August, so I was super excited for the grand opening today, Jan 31. It's 3 levels with a full octagon, cardio, group classes, recovery, free weights, a pool (under construction), jiujitsu and striking room... it just doesn't end! Tons of staff and everything is brand spanking new. The one thing I'll be carefully watching is the cleanliness and upkeep of the gym. The UFC is a very respected brand and I hope they keep those standards in the maintenance of this gym. It would be a shame if it went the way of dirty LA Fitness / 24 Fitness. Fingers crossed it stays clean! The sign up special is $29/month with $1 down, no first and last month. That's crazy! Tell them Navin W referred you and they'll throw in some freebies.

Well.... Don't let the bad reviews deter you away. 1. Yes the music is loud, but you can just wear headphones. 2. Yes, parking is bad on peak hours, but the walk from other parking areas are less than 2 min if that. aaaannnnnd you add more steps to your day. 3. The culture is awesome, not only from the employees, but from the people working out inside. 4. Classes are fun, take advantage of the knowledge from awesome instructors. 5. Recovery room, sooooo worth, a little pricier, but worth it for my old man bones. 6. Restrooms/Cleanliness can be just a bit better, but let's be real, THEY JUST OPENED, give it some time to grow into the perfect home. 7. Putting weights back seems to be the talk of the town, but hey I do my part and really that's all that matters. Be the change you want to see and maybe you'll inspire someone to not be a turd. 8. I think I'm done here so I'll close it off... We have a chance to give our input and they have answered some concerns in a short amount of time. They are working with us, so be patient and yes voice it out. I know they will definitely not let this flop. I have lived out here for more than 10 years and there hasn't been a gym that has came this close to perfect. Anyways! Much love and hope this message finds the right person. Bests, Holden Rodi.

I don't like this gym. The music is LOUD and they are playing the worst rock ballads of all time. Trying to speak to a manager while Meatloaf is screaming in your ear isn't very pleasant. The "recovery" room is a gimmick with wonky saunas and a red light bed that would need to be sanitized after every use. The central area with the Octagon is ok but there are classes there every hour and it's not amenable for open workouts especially hitting the bag while people are running around. The bottom most floor is the most uncomfortable experience of them all. The boxing/kickboxing room requires you to take your shoes off while slipping all around in your socks trying to punch at bags lining the wall. Fretful and annoying. The free weight and squat rack area has ceilings so low it feels like it's going to crush you. The fluorescent lighting it's oppressive and migraine inducing. Whatever. I know it's just a paint job over the LA Fitness that was here. But this gym is a big bad Jenga tower of punishment.

I became a member here about a month ago now. I do have to say one of the staff members was a bit rude there but they have a lot to offer there.. from pool, wrestling, lifting, boxing, jacuzzi, saunas and there recovery room.

The space he cultivates here isn't your run of the mill martial arts gym. It's an encouraging, collaborative, and welcoming learning environment where Coach takes time to focus on and refine technical skill, depth of knowledge, and rhythm. I recall in particular how Coach Joe took the time to fix my middle kick in a way that really clicked. He takes special care and attention to help you learn not only the proper form of a move but also the why behind it. Once you have it, it's impossible to forget. If he takes the time to help you correct something, just know that he believes in your capacity for growth and improvement. He is a wellspring of expertise. This learning environment is also reinforced by the athletes and experienced students who I've had the pleasure of training with. Through drills and sparring, everyone works to support each other and reinforce our learning. What you get here is not just an education; it's also a didactic community. I can't recommend this gym enough.

Duveen was a phenomenal teacher and we saw great progress in just one summer. She is skilled at teaching, has patience and keeps the classes engaging and varied enough to maintain the students' attention. Although our child was not in love with the sport as she is with other activities, we felt it was a very valuable experience and a summer well-spent.

Joining Shark Boxing is the best decision that I made in 2025. All the coaches are super friendly,…read moreknowledgable, helpful and badass. The classes are very fun and beginner friendly yet challenging. Each coach has their own style of teaching and will go through different combo exercises and conditioning workout. The coaches adjust the level of difficulty based on the level of students that show up for that specific class. Regardless what the level of student, each class will guarantee an amazing workout that pushes the mind(learning different boxing skills) and the body. The gym is very clean and has a small free weights section attached to it. Not only can one improve his/her boxing skill, one can lift weights and get stronger and fitter as well. All coaches are very qualified. Some have been boxing for decades and some are pro fighters. I have taken some private classes. I had nothing but amazing sessions. The price is very reasonable as well. $150 for basic gym membership which includes all classes and all access to the entire gym. $250 is the next level up which is what I have. It includes two 1hr private sessions per months which is easily $200 plus at other boxing gyms. Also, a pair of hand wraps and boxing gloves will be provided when signing up. Another $100 value. Personally, I lost 25 lbs since I joined the gym and on my way to my first sparring session. Shark Boxing is just AWESOME!!! For anyone who is hesitating, don't. You won't regret join this gym.

The experience was motivating, challenging, and inspiring enough that I've already decided to come back, join, and continue learning. Although it's a smaller gym, the personalized attention, focus on technique, and overall quality of training far exceed what you often find at larger franchise gyms. The coaches clearly care about each person's progress, and that level of detail makes a huge difference. I would highly recommend anyone interested in boxing or improving their fitness to give this gym a try--you'll be impressed from the very first session.

If you're looking for a workout that gets you sweating without any judgment, this is the perfect spot--no matter your size, shape, or fitness level. The classes focus on technique and fitness, so you're not sparring or fighting anyone. Mauricio, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and sweet, which makes the whole experience even better. I've been attending consistently and have already noticed a positive shift in how I feel about my body. Plus, it's such a great way to release any aggression! There's nothing like the satisfying thud of a solid punch on the bag. If you're thinking about trying kickboxing, I can't recommend this gym enough--it's motivating, empowering, and a total game-changer :)
