Recently decided that starting the day with the 6am HIIT class. It has been one of the best decisions I've made. Coach Nick brings amazing energy every single morning and knows exactly how to push you while still making the workouts fun and motivating. The atmosphere is welcoming, challenging, and leaves you feeling accomplished before most people are even awake. Stronger physically and mentally every week -- highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a supportive and motivating fitness community! read more

When people met me before I started working out, I was treated like just another person. Other women would approach me for conversation if I was at the bar, and I'd exchange casual smiles with people while passing them in the grocery store--just typical daily interactions. Rarely did I receive compliments on my looks or get hit on. But when people met me after I got "sexi smexi," it was a night-and-day difference. As some of my best friends have told me, I come across as "intimidating" and "mean." I've had people tell me that before they got to know me, they thought I'd beat them up. I've had guys tell me that other guys wouldn't date me because they're too afraid--that I'm "too sexy." I can walk straight to the front of any VIP line at a nightclub and get in. I get hit on significantly more, and I've even been offered a lot of money in exchange for my "time," which never happened before I joined UFC. People offer me jobs more often and try to recruit me for marketing. Rich men and athletes have taken me out on very luxurious dates... and let me tell you, it's slightly exhausting. I used to work from home and didn't see many people, so going into busy places made me anxious. Before, I just wanted to blend in. Now, all I do is stand out I'm not even wearing lip gloss, but I be poppin', and all these boys' lips be droppin'. I know it's just human nature. People are attracted to a juicy Caboosey--the compliments are endless. It's almost as if I can say nothing wrong. I assure you, I'm an awkward person, and I do say awkward things--but people jump in to save the conversation when that happens. Before I started working out, people were still very nice to me. I didn't get approached as much--especially at night--but I still received compliments. Just nothing compared to how I look now. My friends have even asked me to "dial it down" at the gym because they're tired of all the guys hitting on me and leaving none for them. To me, though, it doesn't matter what you look like. It doesn't matter if you go to the gym to build muscle, lose weight, stay in shape, or whatever--what matters is whether you're comfortable with yourself. If you want to be 10 feet tall and that makes you happy--do it. If a certain workout is too much for you and you love being the way you are--don't do it. Don't follow what others are doing--just be you, and let everyone else be them Because regardless of shape, size, or anything else, underneath it all, we're all 10s. What really matters is what's on the inside. "Maybe if we loved ourselves, it wouldn't be so hard to love each other." -- Skizzy Mars The whole point is not to value everything based on your looks, but instead on your achievements and how you feel physically and mentally. Working out has made me more physically fit , which has given me more confidence--but that confidence should have always been there, regardless of how I looked. Some people only notice your appearance, but there's so much more to a person than that. Maybe in a galaxy far, far away, there are people who are just specks of light with no bodies... because when we're 80 , we're all going to look the same ‍ I've definitely been my own biggest hater before--fueling myself with negativity because of how I looked, how clothes fit, and how I compared myself to others. It's an uphill battle to love yourself 100% of the time. There's a lot of negativity and pressure to be a certain way. It's okay to not know where to start. It's okay to take a step back or take a break. Don't let your mind play games with you--you are stronger than you think and capable of things you never thought possible. So baby gorl (or boi), wear whatever you want, treat your body like a temple, and just be you. Thank you, UFC, for being awesome and for being a place where people can grow and have fun. read more

I was visiting family and I belong to a UFC gym where I live. So happy to see a UFC gym I could go to while out of town. The Yorktown UFC is beautiful... everything you need and some is there. I highly recommend this location. I know it's pricier than some gyms but to me it's worth it just for the simple fact that it doesn't get as packed as some of the cheaper gyms. read more

UFC Gym Yorktown is amazing! There is tons of equipment, coaches are super great, tons of class options, and it's clean! Theres literally something for everyone! read more

First gym I've joined where I feel comfortable enough to show up everyday and stay motivated. It's been an amazing experience for our family these past couple of weeks and the coaches are INCREDIBLE. My oldest is doing youth BJJ with the talented duo Coach Dania & Alex, while my middle has been doing PT with Coach Dania. Coach Dania was able to take this timid, shy girl full of anxiety and create a relationship with her. She not only loves her coach but is now transitioning to the youth fight fit with Coach Paul. All of these classes go on while our youngest 2 year old enjoys his time in kid's club with the sweetest Miss Hannah. I seriously have zero excuse as a mother to not go to the gym. I feel welcomed, supported and there's no judgment if you have zero idea of how to do an exercise. The coaches are kind and motivating. I haven't worked out in at least 2 years but every class I've tried so far is accommodating to people from all levels. It's been a great experience so far and I can't wait to see the results it brings. read more

UFC GYM Yorktown - Coach Dania with our little Tutu Boxer - Gyms Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

I am not a member of this gym, but I did drop in for one morning workout class. Overall the members and staff were nice people and welcoming to the new guy. The equipment and facilities are all in good shape, and the gym is a nice space. read more

This is a fantastic gym, new and modern with a great atmosphere! I was deciding between a competitor gym, I Love Something or other, and researched prices only to determine that this gym is 1/2 the cost of the other tiny place that had limited hours! I just don't understand how this membership can be so inexpensive for the amount of classes and childcare they offer me. The childcare definitely motivates me to come in even on school holidays to squeeze in a class! I've met the kindest instructors that remember me whether the classes have 6 people or 16! They of course have kickboxing and boxing but also Zumba, Yoga, Cycle, TRX and other unique offerings no other non specialty gyms have like Muay Thai and Jujitsu. I took a personal women's security class last month with Dania and the moves I learned are definitely worthwhile to know as a woman living in an urban (or suburban) jungle. If you are looking for a family membership like I have, there are plenty of youth classes to choose from during the week. Both my young daughters love their instructors, Paul and Sebastian, and the open space to train. No bully's will be bothering them that's for sure. They have a recovery room with some free stuff for members and cryotherapy for a monthly charge. I was so surprised that it was less than 1/2 the cost of another place where I used to get my cryo done nearby in Hinsdale. It feels amazing and keeps me coming back to train harder without as much downtime because of soreness. Since it's located in the mall when the mall is open I can use the upstairs entrance to walk straight into the mall to get errands done, that's so great especially in the Winter in Chiberia! It's also open 24 HOURS. Not to say that I plan on working out at midnight much (or at all) but hey if the mood and motivation ever strikes me at least I can, that's really empowering! For all these reasons I recently cancelled my competing gym memberships elsewhere and my kids after school Tae Kwondo classes. We now have more classes offered to us there than I ever had at all those other places combined. I am even saving money now without all those other memberships. Thanks UFC Yorktown for finally coming into my life at the time when I needed it most. See you again soon! read more

Just moved to town and called the gym and told them I just moved in and was interested in trying the gym out and was told to come in and they would give me a free pass. Went in later that day, and the person at the front desk, once I told him I wanted a trail pass said no prob. Once I gave him my outta state ID he proceeded to tell me since it's an out of state ID I could not get a free day pass and would have to pay for the day,I believe he quoted me $25 for the day. ( That is just robbery) I proceed to tell him I spoke to someone early that day and what I was told. He said sorry that is policy. Lost two new potential members read more

I've been a member of this gym for a few months and am going to be cancelling my membership. There are obviously pros and cons to this gym, but the cons have definitely outweighed the pros, which has led to my cancellation. First, I want to start off my saying that $70/month is... a lot. At least in my opinion. This gym has lesser quality equipment than most other gyms I'm been to and this is the highest price I've paid per month. The only benefit to the $70/month was if you REALLY took advantage of all of the classes and the different types of classes, consistently. But with so many classes at this gym, the classes take priority over any other guest in ANY space at this gym. If you want to use the turf, and a class is about to start, you are asked to leave. They don't accommodate anyone if you are not in the class, even if you're not in the way. Definitely turned me off when this happened to me. Going more into these classes... they boast that they have SO many of them. Which they do. But 75% of them are at inopportune times for the average, working adult. If you want to take a class in the morning before work, the only option is 6am and some days there aren't any that you can go to before work at all. Most gyms in the area have this and are successful. The parking is terrible here since it's attached to the mall. They have high-tech lockers in the locker rooms, but unfortunately, over 50% of them don't even work, and sometimes when they do work, they don't even open for you with the correct code you put it. The 90% of the employees here look like they hate being there and it's like pulling teeth to try and get a smoothie at the "Arm Bar". Stood there for over 5 minutes one time just waiting for someone to ask if I was going to order a smoothie. I wasn't standing there for fun! I will add, however, that every smoothie I've gotten there has been good and I recommend the Blueberry oat bread. In addition, I tried to call and cancel my membership and they force you to go into the facility you no longer want to go to, to do so. Unless you live over 25 miles away. I was ending the phone call and said goodbye and whoever was on the phone, just hung up, without saying anything. A pro to this gym is that it's never terribly busy, their "rush" time is maybe 15 people -- not counting those in classes. I wouldn't doubt that this place won't actually last. I wouldn't recommend this gym. read more

I have been working out at this gym since April 2019 and by far has been one of the greatest gym experiences. The staff is amazing! Equipment is always clean! They have an amazing protein bar and they offer numerous workout classes!! I personally chose to do personal training with the AMAZING Dania and to say that she makes you sweat in the workouts is an understatement!!! #TeamRed read more

When I went for a visit @UFC gym, it was totally beyond my expectation. A whole different atmosphere. It's way more than your regular gym. A gym where you have all resources to challenge yourself everyday. I came to UFC because I was tired of the same routine, and regular machines, boring work out. At UFC I feel energetic as soon as I walk in. I got a personal trainer and it was the BEST DECISION I ever made. Dania Seaver is my trainer and I couldn't be in better hands. I love her energy and charisma. She keeps me focused and motivated. Always checking on me. I am sure I will achieve all my goals by working with her. Making sure I complete all my sets. Most importantly, even when I believe I can't do something, she proves to me that I am capable of overcoming my fears and push harder. I have been a member of multiple gyms, but UFC is not a gym, is an experience. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE. I have plenty of actual proof on how terribly this gym is operated. They are currently not refunding MULTIPLE people for the weight loss challenge that was never initially organized properly (2nd year, and trainers verbally confirming what a mess it was) and abruptly interrupted because of COVID. I was verbally assaulted in the parking lot by another member who apparently knew management, so that never was taken care of properly. I have supplements paid for and never all given to me. Issues upon issues, but I still have them a chance to rectify. Instead, management was crude in their private FB group, which I was apparently kicked out of. I've also been texting for about a month with no actual results. I'm glad I canceled the card I had on autopay, because they have since tried to charge me. Much better operated gyms in the area. This ones a joke. read more

Such a TERRIBLE gym. I've been a member for 5 years and for a while it was great. The past 2 years (during COVID) have been horrible. The turnover from their trainers is insane. The management is garbage. The equipment never seems to be clean and there is rarely sanitizer out to clean equipment yourself. You would think during a time when being sanitary is at the forefront, you would have extra cleaning equipment. Nope, not UFC - it almost seems like they put out less cleaning supplies than before Covid. read more

Staff and management are helpful and friendly. Facility is clean and the equipment is always well kept and in working condition. They do a great job with everything read more

I was really disappointed with the bait and switch I received from this gym. I could only do morning training sessions. I was told they open at 5am, but they're not offering classes until 9 am (when I'm already at work). After this, they refused to give me a refund and I never even attended a class. I was past the 3 day refund period as I was attempting to understand why classes weren't showing in the times I need... Seems like a cool place, and they took my money without giving me any services. Classy. read more

Worse gym I've ever been to. A total scam. Salesperson lied and said I wasn't getting into a contract however once Moved away I was informed that I was in a 12 month contract. Inconsistency with coaches- some didn't seem motivated themselves during DUT's. The OM Melissa was a total jerk. I can go on and on, but I'd rather just say save your money. The vibe is dead in there, there's no real community, and you feel judged from the moment you walk up to the desk to check in. Oh, and don't be surprised if salespeople try to coerce you into paying more for a perosnal trainer. read more

I will give this gym 1 star only because of the manager Mike. He is unprofessional and wack. He does not comply with your requests.

Signed up for classes. Never mentioned possibility of cancelling services due to covid. 1 week later in person classes cancelled. No locker room access. Very limited hours. Were not willing to work with me at all. Did not get what I paid for and all they say is 'its the government'. Not getting what I paid for, $280, and then have the gall to say 'tough luck'. Will take to small claims court if necessary. read more

Was weary of going to a commercial gym run by the UFC, however myself and my girlfriend were pleasantly surprised. We have trained jiu jitsu, and muay thai previously and were in town for about a week needing a place to train. The gym is very clean & large, has many mats, a cage, heavy bags, lockers that lock, showers, sauna, weights...anything you might need. We have trained in at least 5 other gyms and this was the best for its price level, cleanliness, and caliber of instructors. They offer day, week, month passes etc which is good if you are in town for a little or if you want to stay long term. I believe the week pass is $35 unlimited classes and $25 for a day pass. Jess and David were great to work with to determine the right pass! As far as the classes our favorite was jiu jitsu taught by Alex (no gi) and Marcelo (gi) both explained the concepts very well and were extremely attentive. We also enjoyed the boxing conditioning class taught by Marcus, great cardio workout. read more

I recently joined this gym with the intention of just going at my leisure. During my tour I was introduced to Kyle Powell and after talking to him I decided to train with a coach to reach my goals. Kyle took the time to get to know me and paired me with the perfect coach. Coach Ben is amazing. He pushes me to limits I never thought I couldn't reach and believes in me. Every session he challenges me and shows his dedication to my progress. I am extremely happy I am taking this journey with these amazing people. The fact that both Kyle and Ben consistently check in with me validated the fact that they are truly invested in me! Couldn't be happier about my decision to join this place! read more

Please stop by and check out this new, state of the art gym. And make sure to try a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class with Alex and Dania Seaver. They are very knowledgeable instructors that train under legends. Alex and Danai train, teach and are active competitors. They will help you learn self-defense while having fun. It's also a great workout. read more

Ok..I've tried multiple gyms with zero to little results. I was mainly fooling myself into going to the gym for 30 minutes on the treadmill and a couple machines and saying that I "worked out." This is the only...underline only gym that has motivated me to want to achieve a fitness goal and feel outstanding doing it. Please give this gym a try. Ask for Jack when you go, he will make you feel very comfortable and help you to get where you want to be. There are so many excellent classes available that are included with the associated membership. I signed my 9yr old daughter up for Jiu Jit-siu and I was impressed and so proud of her. Her focus to something so new to her was exceptional. This place is so family friendly and all they want for you is to attain your goal, get healthy and help you accomplish it along the way. Just a fair warning, make sure you come mentally prepared to achieve your goal. Don't cheat yourself. If you come prepared, your results will astound you and make you feel so much better physically, mentally and emotionally. read more

Jessica At UFC is very helpfully and awesome- the people here make you feel like family it's great place workout and highly recommended .A current gym member great people great atmosphere read more

I love this gym! I have been a member since the grand opening back in Dec 2018. The classes are fun and a great way to meet your fitness goals. Prior to joining I would typically lift and run on a treadmill 3-4 times a week. My results were good but the routine was uninspiring. The classes at the UFC Gym especially boxing, kickboxing, and DUT definitely challenged me and helped me get in the best shape of my life and I'm 47. I started their BJJ program in Feb with a couple of friends and it has been life changing. Alex Seaver and Dania Seaver are amazing people and instructors. They are accomplished practitioners who currently compete and defintitely lead by example. So much so that my two teenage sons (14 and 16) started their BJJ journey a few months ago. I love that we get to train together and have a common passion. They competed in their first tournament and loved it. They both took home silver medals. My wife also joined and has been crushing her fitness goals. She especially enjoys boxing and recently DUT. This gym has created a new lifestyle for me and my family. Fitness and nutrition have become the foundation for us to build on and has brought us closer together. If you are serious about changing your life then I highly recommend this gym. The facility is awesome and the people are even better. read more
