When I first started searching for a gym, this place stood out with the a good online presence and I liked that. I submitted an inquiry, and that same day, a coach reached out to me. I've been here ever since over a year now! I came in knowing nothing, but working one-on-one with Coach Zach helped me build a solid foundation and grasp the fundamentals of BJJ and MMA. The personal sessions also helped me fast forward my progress and discover who I was in my training. I'm incredibly grateful for all the coaches Zach, Wyatt, and Calvin for everything they've taught me. Their coaching styles are consistently encouraging, patient, and intentional. You can tell that they have poured out a lot into the students here by the way they remember your progress, push you with care, and treat every small win like it matters. They really care. They care not just about technique but about you as a person, and that makes all the difference. If you're thinking about joining, do it you'll be in good hands. The sense of community is warm and authentic, making it easy to stay consistent and actually enjoy showing up. read more

You are not gonna regret this. I have been going for 4 months now,and i never looked back! This gym has been opened for many years, the inside is used but clean, the management are very attentive to cleaning, ( i even saw them mopping few times ) and safety, Lauren, Zach, Colt, Nadya , John and everyone else are very welcoming, willing to help you and show you the right way. I chose to do Boxing and conditioning, but i end up also doing Ultimate Training which is a compressed work out, better than any Gym i have been. I also have a trainer ( Zach ) who i work out with weekly, i learned a lot about my limits and my resistance levels, and i feel 10 times better than when i started, i highly recommend it, just sign up, and i promise you will like it. Don't let the punching bags intimidate you, you gonna end up loving those things;) read more

Nice friendly staff and assortment of classes for those that like variety. Don't get intimidated by the UFC branding. If you want to work out but don't like traditional weight training, this is a great alternative. The classes are instructor lead, most are 50 minutes in duration and you'll be drenched in sweat by the end of the class. The types of classes vary - boxing/kickboxing conditioning i.e. you vs punching bag - HIIT i.e. you rotating through exercise stations - boxing/kickboxing technique and sparring i.e. partnered drills - BJJ Gi/no-Gi i.e. real close contact * Checkin to verify your schedule works with when the classes are held. * No limit to the number of classes you can take If you want to try everything, start with individual classes like conditioning or HIIT and then move over to partner classes like BJJ or sparring. Try a free class and judge for yourself, what have you got to lose? The members vary in ages from grade level kids, to young professionals, to seasoned adults ;). You can be as social/non-social as you want, you do you, just be kind and polite like your mama raised you. read more

The trainers and staff are grossly out of shape, and the workouts are feeble and ineffective. Why would you want to go to a fitness gym with workers who are not fit? I took one look at them and never returned. I prefer to work with trainers who are in good shape! read more

A wonderful place to bring your kids! We've been coming for over a month and have loved the striking and grappling classes offered to kids. The coaches are incredibly kind and attentive. They truly get to know your child and empower them to keep succeeding. I'm really happy we found UFC Gym. read more

The HIT workouts and kick boxing are so amazing! I feel the complete workout! The staff is really friendly and they help you with what you need . read more

I've been a member for over 3 years now. The staff have always been proficient and friendly during my membership, but I believe that the current roster of coaches is the best I've seen, and as someone who has attended other classes at other MMA gyms, locally or otherwise, I appreciate the product put out by UFC Gym Fairfax. read more

This use to be LA Boxing but UFC bought them all and changed their name. I have been a member since 2009 and have loved every minute. Coming here is a great way to get in shape. There are different instructors with different training styles. I have learned what works for me based upon my schedule and my needs. I can always check out one of the other UFC gyms if my favorite instructor is teaching there. I can't current comment on the sales team here since I haven't changed my membership in awhile. Plus being a member for a long time gives you perks. Anyway, I have dealt with less than ideal sales team in the past here but now that it is under UFC guidelines I can't comment. Best kickboxing instructors here- Kelly & Paulos. Best boxing is Arvin, Lawrence, salvia & jimmy read more

UFC GYM Fairfax - Gyms Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

See all

They will steal from you. Any UFC Gym location in Virginia is owned by the same people, and they will ALL steal from you. Don't trust them for billing. Don't trust them with any of your financial information. The quality of the classes is also low. read more

Great staff, good gyms, clean facilities, and overall very well run. There are many great classes offered throughout the day (most are in the evening at or after 5pm) by great coaches. Everyone here is fun, friendly, and energetic at both the Fairfax and Reston locations. And there are also lots of fun activities in and outside of the gym for all members to participate in too. Highly recommend joining! read more

Overall experience is good here. I trained at other ufc gym before like Reston, Tysons (closed) and I feel the classes and trainers here are pretty good. The only issue is that the turnover of trainers seems pretty high recently... not a big deal but would be good to have a stable team. read more

I was a member here for several months. They're a specialty gym that focuses on boxing/ kickboxing for fitness. While I didn't particularly enjoy the group fitness boxing/ kickboxing classes, I did enjoy going to their boxing skills and muay thai classes to learn the sport themselves. The manager Kelly teaches the muay thai class himself and is a great instructor. He's super knowledgeable and helpful. They have a small section in the gym to lift weights as well. Unfortunately the limited hours, especially on weekends, made it difficult to go to many of their classes. read more

Joined this gym a month ago but have been able to only attend fight fit class. It definitely makes your body sore all over punching and kicking a bag so it is definitely a different type of training from a normal gym that offers kickboxing. I'm weird about sweat but this gym is on the smaller side but is always clean. The staff is great and it's located next to whole foods so a skip away for some "healthy" food after a hard workout. read more

UFC GYM Fairfax - Gyms Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Amazing gym, clean facility, great staff, and expertly run. You will get the gambit of classes from very professional staff. Everyone here is passionate and motivated, much better than my experience at the Reston location. Management here listens and expertly guides their trainers in a variety of fun activities from Christmas in July to national book readers day. They are a hoot to follow on social media! read more

I have no comllaints about the classes and trainers at this gym but the way they handle finance is ridiculous. I had signed up for a year membership at this gym not understanding my commute which was my own fault. However, I decided to freeze my account by paying $15 every month for a whole year and complied with the terms of my agreement only to find out that the gym continued to charge $15 AFTER my year was up. NO, they do not have the courtsey to stop the payments. I called to cancel my membership and kindly requested a refund for the 3 months I had been charged but I never received a call nor a refund. Now, I just found out that they took over $160$ from my bank account which I am expecting to be refunded before reporting it to my bank as unauthorised transaction. I am not a fan of negative reviews but I am forced to do so because I want others have to be aware when they commit to agreements with this gym. The gym has to be responsible when people have issues terminating their relationship with them the same way they are very nice when they welcome you to the gym. read more

I'm putting myself out there... last year absolutely sucked. I let depression get the best of me & my body. These results are in less than 2 months. I'm not quite there yet, but progress. I'm finally feeling back to myself... well actually better. Been busting my ass at UFC gym. So thankful for UFC Fairfax.. Kelly Huston you are awesome and you run an amazing gym! Thank you Brandon, Ahria, Justin, and the other trainers for pushing me and making working out so much fun!! I highly recommend this gym and UFC family. I even changed my work schedule so I can make it to class 5 days a week ‍. read more

UFC GYM Fairfax - Me - Gyms Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The gym has a stench of old sweaty shoes. However there were 2 good trainers. Most of the other trainers would have you "freestyle" most of the boxing workout which defeats the purpose of having a trainer to lead the workout. If I wanted to freestyle on the heavy bag, I would come in on my free time. I used to go to Title in Springfield so I had become accustomed to having high quality trainers no matter the class. I felt discouraged as I was trying to get back on my health journey and decided it best to go another route. read more

I am quite disappointed with UFC Gym. The actual classes themselves are adequate, a decent cardio work out. However the cost and contractual shenanigans they play are even worse. The games start when you want to quit. It will be the hardest thing you can possibly do, worse than any workout they can put you through. They place a onerous paperwork requirement. Never again and I caution anyone considering joining to be extremely careful and vigilant with their contractual games. Its not a question of if they screw you over but when and for how much. For what they charge, just go join another gym. Disappointed. read more

Pretty disappointed with this gym mostly in the areas of service and membership. The whole reason I wouldn't join was because of their insane membership fee and the illogical contract they try to have you sign that is a bear to break if you decide it's not for you or have some other reason why you can no longer go to that gym. They treat the membership like a rental agreement where you have to tell them a month in advance that you are going to end it. Why!? That doesn't make sense, it's just their way of guaranteeing income, theres no logical reason as to why someone can not end their membership whenever they want. So the UFC business model is what is really disappointing about this franchise. Also the manager at this location plays favorites and gives discounts and free memberships to people if they somehow benefit him. I will say that the trainers and classes are intense! The trainers really know what they are doing and are great teachers, they are patient with beginners and are good about encouraging you while helping you achieve good form. read more

This gym is strictly for training / workout classes, which includes: boxing, kickboxing, some light MMA, Daily Ultimate Training, & a few more. The problem is that the gym is really small, classes are limited in size (i.e. 12 people max in the DUT class), and the times are fairly inconvenient - most are at 6:30am. The ones at night are always booked & you have to book 2 weeks in advance. There aren't very many weights at all: 1 benchpress, a handful of free weights, and 2 treadmills. It's fairly pricy too...$200 down $89 a month. The classes are really good and the instructors along with the managers are fantastic. Kelly the manager is awesome & runs a great class. Audrey is a great trainer. She'll kick your butt. In my opinion they need a larger space and more variety with time slots. The concept is good, but belongs as part of a larger gym with more space. read more

UFC GYM Fairfax - Schedule of classes - Gyms Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Been going here for about 2 months and I love it so far! There's only 2 instructors I don't enjoy so far, mainly because their class consists of mostly "freestyles" which means they are lazy and don't want to come up with combos. Easy way to get around that - go to a different class! If you HAVE to try one class (maybe for your trial class) you HAVE to go to Ronald's class on Tuesdays at 5:15 or Thursdays at 6:30. Trust me you will be sweating profusely the first 5 minutes because you're doing HIITS and then go straight to kickboxing and back and forth. You'll love his class and will for sure feel it in your body the next day. DUT (daily ultimate training) classes are basically HIITS for an hour and this one is a real sweat session but it works out everything from battle ropes to deadlifts to sprints to tire jumps. Its fun but I have to mentally prepare myself. ;) Fight Fit class is another favorite of mine with Ashlee, you get a hard workout where you are actually punching and kicking a body bag on the floor like you're really fighting and learning how to wrap your legs around someone's head. Its great! Don't get me wrong when you walk in it smells like a straight up sweaty, disgusting stank raggedy, old, nasty smell that is never ending but you get use to it. Because you'll start smelling like it yourself. I left Orange Theory Fitness to come here and it was a great decision. OTF got boring so I came here because they offer a lot of unique classes not only boxing/kickboxing and it got really expensive there. Its $89/month for 1 location and $99/month for any location with enrollment fee (not sure what it was). Pricey but for the classes they have and they have a gym side thats free to use, I think it's worth it but only if you're ready to learn how to kick ass. read more

Took their free kickboxing class.thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely was drenched and sore leaving. For warning bring hand wraps and gloves if you have them otherwise they will charge you to buy the wraps (they loaned us the gloves). Everything was nice enough, just not the price. The apartment complex I live at already has a gym with just about the same equipment. So wasn't really compelled to drop $900 for the year on some classes I'd randomly go to, I have a bunch of BeachBody products at home that I can use for free. I do suggest checking out a free or discounted class, and see their fights! read more

This gym is amazing! I have suggested it to all of my friends. The trainers and coaches are amazing, and the staff and management really makes an effort to have a personal relationship with all members. You get an intense full-body workout that will show you results almost immediately. Great establishment! read more

So I was a member for a year and a half and I ignored all the bad reviews thinking "oh that's silly" well it's not and I was completely fooled. When you sign up you have to pay around $400 because you have to pay for all the fees and the first month and the last month. I agreed and paid for it. Now I'm a student living off pay check to pay check and I told Kelly the GM that I couldn't afford it anymore. Once I canceled my membership I thought that was it. Until I checked my bank account and found I had been charged yet again $90! And it put me in negative. I called and begged Kelly to refund me because I would get a over draft fee on top of that and I mentioned how I had to pay at the beginning when I signed up for the first and last month. He kept changing the story and told me I was rude and he wasn't "going to do shit for me". He also mentioned that I have a good time at life time. (Because I so happened to go there as a guest with my friend and he saw me there, I guess thinking I was paying for a membership). This is the most outrageous customer service I've ever received. I'm surprised the facility is still running with such a terrible GM to be representing the company. I was mortified he spoke to me in that way and then he hung up on me and ignored the rest of my phone calls. I'm telling you now like everyone else has said SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT GO HERE!! THEY ARE FAKE AND WILL ONLY BE NICE IF YOU SPOON FEED THEM YOUR HARD EARND MONEY. This will not be the last you hear from me. read more

Food was good, service was great. My waiter was very generous. I love UFC Gym. Especially Mark

Great free trial class!! I took DUT this morning at 10:45am - it was intense, I was soaked in sweat and I had a lot of fun meeting the members and pushing each other. I'm a member of Golds and I go there 4-5x every week for my regular workouts and was hoping to add these classes to my routine. Unfortunately, it's a members only club and they don't allow drop-ins for their classes. That's pretty crazy from a business standpoint & paying $89/month (even $69 which the GM offered if I signed a contract today) is steep and not worth it. Like other reviewers, I had a bad membership experience (with the Woodbridge location) so I'm hesitant to sign again but was hoping to pay per class 1-2x each month. Reviewing solely on the class - 5 stars! read more

I absolutely love this gym! The staff is so friendly and positive. Kelly, the manager instantly put me a ease when I walked through the door. He is very helpful and always willing to answer any questions you may have. I love the boxing conditioning classes. I've taken several and have really liked every coach. They all have their own unique way of teaching so it never gets boring. Each coach also changes things up so even if you go to a class regularly, it's never the same old thing. Josh has a no-nonsense style but he is also super friendly and makes sure to check everyone's form and speed to ensure you don't get sloppy! Brandon is probably the most high energy person I've ever met. His class will push you beyond what you think possible (I've never sweat so much in my life), but he'll also keep you smiling with his positive attitude, encouragement, and occasional jokes. Most of all, I've really liked working with Coach Gustavo. He gives focused attention to his clients and pushes you to your limits. He also pays attention to nutrition and meeting personal goals. Every session is different and I can see marked improvement since the time I started. This guy seriously knows his stuff! All in all, I can't think of one negative thing to say about this gym. Everyone, to include members is very friendly and has a great attitude. I was slightly intimidated at first, but that faded after the first five minutes I was there. If you're looking for a gym that will give you a killer workout in a positive environment, look no further than this place. read more

I was honestly intimidated to even walk through the doors here for my first class, but the staff are so friendly and the other members are super supportive! Favorite classes are with by Ashlee and Audrey :) I also work with Ashlee as a personal trainer and have seen amazing results in the short time we have been working together. Excellent trainer and nutritionist means I'm dropping dress sizes quickly! read more

Signed up in 2009 when the gym was LA Boxing. I've been to my fair share of locations throughout this area through the years. Tysons, Herndon, Woodbridge, and Chantilly to name a few. This Fairfax one ran by Kelly is by far the best one I've experienced. I've had a few hiccups in my membership but nothing that couldn't be corrected easily. Classes are intense and the instructors are amazing and motivating. I would probably be 300lbs if I wasn't a member with my eating and drinking habits. If you have had an itch to try this gym or boxing in general there is a 1 week trial, you won't regret it. read more

I used to absolutely adore this place, and had written a review that clearly showed that (I even asked how people were giving them such bad reviews, since they were so awesome), but I have to take all that back after the last time I went there in late January 2016 Since I was going out of the country to study, I decided to cancel my membership (a major bummer!). They were really helpful and nice about it, and Ihad no problem. But then, my mom thought we were still been charged, and wanted to know if the charge on her credit card was related to the UFC Gym in Fairfax or not. We went there one afternoon and talked to the manager (I think his name was Kelly). She tried to explain the problem to him, but since she is an immigrant and isn't completely fluent on the language, she was getting a little frustrated, since he wasn't understanding what she was trying to say. The thing is though, he didn't even make an effort and was REALLY rude to us the whole time, even asking us "what we were doing on his gym". What I got from it is that the moment you stop being a customer there, they stop giving a damn about you. When I first went there to sign up, this same man was charming and nice, after I had to cancel, he was rude and sarcastic towards someone he KNEW was having a had time communicating and expressing himself. You, sir, lack empathy. That just killed it for me. I would never go back to this place after this, nor do I encourage anyone to go there. Go find another boxing class or go to another UFG Gym. The only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is because the classes were actually good and would be really unfair to the instructors. read more

I am a little mystified by some of these other reviews. I've been a member at this gym for several years and have had the complete opposite experience from that portrayed in other reviews. Every member of the staff has been nothing but professional and accommodating. The classes will challenge you while at the same time allow you to test your own limits. If those aren't enough for you, the gym offers personal training in a wide variety of disciplines with coaches that have spent a lifetime in their respective disciplines. Regardless of your fitness level, this gym and the staff will help you to reach your goals. I highly recommend this gym. If you decide to try it out, remember to ask for Coach Ashlee. read more

Went here to try the free class - after the class they asked my friend and I to join...we told them we couldn't because of our schedules conflict...they offered a one month membership to which we finally agreed but told them that we can only do one month...fast forward a month later...they are trying to collect membership and late fees for not letting them know that we will not be extending our membership even though we repeatedly told them we're only going to do a month...that is EXACTLY the reason why I never joined LA boxing. ..dont join...dirty business practice/ethics read more

I was a member of both LA Boxing and UFC Gym. I moved out of the state, and canceled my membership in writing, as specified in my contract. I discovered four months later that I had been charged four additional months post-cancelling my membership. I contacted the manager, who at first was very apologetic and guaranteed they would refund my money. It is 1.5 months later, and I have not seen a single dime of my refund. I will be pursuing this manner further, but all should know that this gym practices illegal charging techniques and refuses to refund money that they have stolen. read more

I had a membership, in which I paid in full last August. I have now moved to the Fredericksburg area and have been struggling for months to be refunded my money as stated in my contract. This has been going on for months. What's even more strange is that the only way to contact anybody who deals with these things is by email. And guess what?? They never respond. $700+ that I will likely never see again until I can manage the time to go to small claims court. Ouch. Very shady business tactics. Research this, I'm not alone! read more

The staff is so friendly and kind. I love coming here and will continue until I head off for college. I have been a competition dance until last year so I needed to find another way to stay In shape and this is it. The classes are hard but you are able to modify each workout to fit your strength. The people are so kind and welcoming don't be afraid to ask any questions. read more

I've been a member for over 6 months and it still remains a solid investment. I signed up with Kelly and he gave me and my friend a good student discount. All the coaches are pro fighters and compete in the NOVA/DC area, aka super legit. If you show your face up around frequently enough, they'll give you tips to tweak your form. The workouts are a great way to push yourself, build confidence, defy gender roles, improve conditioning, so on. I did hit a plateau with heavy bag workouts, so I reached out to one of the fighters, Chase. He's a pro Muay Thai fighter, but don't let his professional skill intimidate you. Not only is he a great athlete, he's also an excellent teacher. He gave me A LOT of guidance in fixing my technique and kicking form. Now I know what to work on and have new motivation to improve my fighting style. As a lengthy aside. In one of Ronda Rousey's interviews, she said that she was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck resulting in speech impediments as a child. But she saw the psychical contact in judo as an form of communication. In the same way, Chase doesn't tell you which combination to hit, he shows you with the placement of the pads. You learn something new when you step into the world of MMA. Let the price of the membership motivate you to get up and box. That's what got me going for the first few months. Now I can say that boxing is a hobby, one that I'm good at. read more

UFC GYM Fairfax - Private session with Chase - Gyms Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This place is awesome.. the coaches stre very friendly and helpful. Even after a year off they still remembered my name. It's like family here.. the manager kelly is very helpful with working with you for the best plan for your goals. Coach Ashley and Brandon will have you sweating the fat off with a smile..I have to try the bjj class one day... it looks so fun. And the best part is they let you spar! Coach Gustavo advance boxing class teaches you all the tricks of the trade. These coaches are real fighters so they teach solid foundations, unlike alot of gyms I've been too. read more

Been in UFC gym at Chantilly for 3 years ...4 members in my family currently enrolled, now they told us that the UFC facility at Chantilly is closing doors on August 2014 . Now, I need to cancel the memberships for the obvious reasons ...the others UFC locations are too far from us....they treat you like they don't know nothing of your acct that they can't have access to any information and all they give you is a phone number to call between 11;00am till 4:00pm from M-F....they don't answer!. If you are going to sign up in this gym do it in a monthly basis, because after a couple of month you'll get tired and bored of the gym. read more

I have been a member here off and on since they opened several years ago, I will take time off to try something new (crossfit, yoga etc) but always end up coming back. The instructors here are great! Very knowledgable in their sport and also in how to kick your butt. You will get a great workout for sure. I love the variety of classes from DUT (bootcamp like), Matrix (using TRX), boxing, kickboxing, mua tai... It helps keep me from getting bored. I also really like the members here. People treat you like family. I recommend trying the free trial class. read more

I've been a member since the gym opened. It's had some turnover but ever since Kelly took over the instructors and classes have got so much better. The staff is friendly and all the instructors run a fun and challenging class. The classes are almost like personal training as the instructor goes through different exercises and coaches you throughout the workout. I would highly recommend joining if you're looking for an intense workout. Ask for Kelly and he'll hook you up. read more
