UFC GYM Sunnyvale

Fantastic experience: I am 63, retired, a typical overweight geeky Silicon Valley nerd who rarely worked out a day in his life and doesn't even know the rules of basketball (think Sheldon and Leonard). Then last year the UFC Gym opened across the street from where I live. The convenience and the closeness to New Year's made me resolve to join. They gave a free training class and I got an introduction to hell and realized I'd better take a few more training classes just so I wouldn't hurt myself. I was extremely fortunate to get Katy who specialized in older people with disabilities. My life-long poor computer posture gave me a pinched nerve in the neck that weakens my right arm and hand. I also have terrible balance issues. A few training sessions later I became hooked. I saw very rapid progress and weight loss. I became a lot more confident in using the equipment. I have had training classes once or twice a week for about 6 months now. I go there 6 days a weeks for about 1.5-2 hours. On even days I do strength training and sometimes have a training class, on the odd days I do cardio workouts solo. I take Sundays off. I usually go around 3 PM when it is not so crowded, but often I will go at 6 on my cardio days so I could watch the Daily Ultimate Training class while I use the elliptical. I do not use the heavy weights at all, nor the weight-lifting stuff, but I have used most of the other gear. I see a lot of the same people working out at the same times, I've watched a lot of the personal trainers give classes. There are all types of people working out: I see the body-builders - men and women. Lots of women doing very difficult exercises. Lots of women doing the group exercise classes, but not so many men in there. The kid's classes are fun to watch, they really seem to be enjoying themselves. And I also see a few disciplined handicap people regularly. The employees are very nice and friendly, the place is kept very clean. The equipment is new, but once or twice when something broke down it was quickly repaired. There are several hand sanitizer dispensers spread throughout the gym. The gym floor is a tough, non-skid material which seems perfect for good traction and pain-free falls. They keep it very clean at all times. The locker rooms are clean. Since I live next door I shower at home, so I don't know what they are like at the gym. I enjoy the Octane Fitness elliptical with it's programmable MMA setting. It simulates a bout and reacts to you as an opponent. Levels above 20 are brutal. It takes the boredom out of a 30-minute cardio interval workout and leaves me soaked with sweat. It has adjustable weights as well so you can have a flexible workout without leaving the station. The FreeMotion is my most frequently used weight machine - very flexible. But I do use a few other cable machines for rowing and lifting and to target my problem areas. I also use the small dumbbells, kettle bells, resistance bands, Bosu balance balls, etc. Most of my exercises are the functional type, not so much targeting a specific muscle. I focus a lot on my balance and core muscles. I wrote this specifically to address my fellow geeks who desperately need to be more health-conscious in this frazzled techno-culture called Silicon Valley. Although the name is UFC, the focus is on all-around fitness, not necessarily fighting. I think if you gave the place a try-out you will like it.

Fantastic experience: I can call this my gym now since I've been working out here regularly for the past couple of months :) yay for not being lazy! Definitely an upgrade from regular gyms like 24 hour, crunch, etc.. but that's because you pay for it. However considering everything, I think the price they charge is reasonable and worth the membership. - it's open 24 hours - it has typical gym classes (yoga, trx, body pump, etc) and fighting classes! (MMA, jiu jitsu, wrestling, kickboxing, etc) *** this requires special membership - new and better equipment - for any powerlifter, oly lifters, etc... they have two platforms where you can practice cleans. snatches, deadlifts, and so on - ROUND PLATES (this one is huge for me because I do not like hexagonal plates.. yes I'm referring to 24 hour fitness -_- ) - The Octagon: when not used by classes, you can use it yourself if you ever need to be in a cage with nice mat floors - kickboxing area: since they have kickboxing classes, they have an entire area of the gym dedicated to it which is nice because you can go on your own to punch/kick or play around with the 100lbs dummies Overall I think this gym has numerous amenities. But some of the downsides (and it's trivial) are: - it's pricy: it's not cheap but it's not ridiculous expensive either. It's somewhere in between and worth it if you gym quite often. - you have to bring your own lock! I use to gym at 24 and they had the lockers with built in locks which was super nice so I always keep forgetting my lock... - It's pretty crowded... but not as crowded as most commercial gyms. It also really helps if you go during off hours like late at night or middle of the day. Overall this gym has made me happy and if you're in the area, definitely give it a try!

Fantastic experience: UFC Sunnyvale has come along from its opening last January. Its gone from barren to popin in just under a year. You kind of get the best of both worlds, if you enjoy skill and technique classes but also the flexibility of being able to work out at your connivance. Keep up the good work guys!

Fantastic experience: Imma start training again Beast is alive risperdal make u fat

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff,clean facility

Fantastic experience: Great gym and classes. Not so much a gym for vain dudes in love with their reflection. Far less bro culture present which makes this gym stand out from most in the area. Just as many women working out hard as there are men much of the time. I think that’s because lots of people go to this gym to learn new skills in the classes which are great and very accessible for beginners. So mostly everyone is there to workout and/or learn instead of checking out their glamour muscles in the mirror. You can just get a good solo workout in using weights with plenty of equipment or take hiit or other classes and get a huge calorie burn while learning some techniques in conditioning classes. Lot of reasons this gym beats out the competition.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Can be a little crowded during peak times but the classes are excellent and the staff is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: I want to give a shout out to Dejohn Butler, (Ops Manager) at the Sunnyvale Site for giving such great customer service!! He was so welcoming and such a cheerful positive demeanor. I went in looking for employment and really willing to work around my schedule, man is truly a blessing. Great Facility, clean and well kept.Thanks Dejohn for the excellent customer service you provided to me, appreciate you!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym great equipment and fun classes. Staff is friendly and super helpful especially ric dunn.

Fantastic experience: Big, organized and very decent gym.

Fantastic experience: Durante la pandemia buscaron la manera de mantenerse abiertos tan pronto les fue posible fue uno de los pocos si no es que el único que se mantuvo abierto adaptándose a las nuevas necesidades. Excelente lugar

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The classes are good. The coaches are intense but personable

Fantastic experience: Love this place. I've been to many gyms over my life, and this is by far the best one. The people, the staff, the coaches, the community... With confidence I can say this place it's a highlight of the Bay Area. I've seen many lives be inspired for the better. Ignore the bad reviews, losers gonna hate. This place rocks 100%.

Fantastic experience: Started going to this gym recently and I've got to say it's great because of the following: 1) Plenty of equipment & machines (currently part of the parking lot also has equipment to workout on, so it's nice working out outside) 2) They have a lot of interesting/varied equipment 3) Classes have really good coaches 4) Staff is friendly 5) Energy is great, especially in the evenings They have cleaning supplies everywhere, and hand sanitizing stations. This is a one stop shop. The only thing I would say to look out for in the evenings is parking. Since it's a peak time & part of the gym takes some of the parking lot space. Other than that it's one of the best gyms in Sunnyvale I've been to, and I've been to several.

Fantastic experience: The environment here is electric, the people are nice and supportive, and the group classes here are super fun. I've been attending MMA conditioning classes with the amazing Coach Dhani and he's so supportive, he's a great coach. I've been making huge gains as a result, strength and cardio. I'd recommend the gym and I'd really recommend the MMA conditioning class with coach Dhani, it's a very fun and intense workout with him every time. He really takes the time to guide me through the workouts and give you little goals to hit when he catches you lackin, it's effective :)

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Bay Area. Very good high intensity programs, lot of equipments. Many classes as per individual's interest like kickboxing, Zumba, dance and more. They have maintain good sanitation.

Fantastic experience: PACKED! everyone had their masks on but training hard. Happy days are here again!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love this gym! I love all the classes they offer here, there’s so much space as well. All the coaches are so supportive and make classes fun and challenging. The people who work here are always willing to help and solve problems (specifically find Autumn, Tony, Lydia super helpful). So happy I found this place!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, have classes with amazing teachers, learn martial arts, in a fun and super clean space. There is a cafe serving smoothies and snacks, which I love specially when I sun directly from work.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Tony for your hospitality! This is a large gym, but due to covid restrictions they had to move some of their equipment outside. Tony, the general manager allowed my team and I to work out even though we were not members. We were in the area due to a local fire, and wanted to work out during our off period. We were very thankful that Tony had the fortitude to keep the gym open during this trying time for businesses by moving a large amount of equipment outside for the members. There was plenty of equipment to use, and everything was in good condition. Tony could not have been nicer, a great guy. If I lived in the area, I would feel good about joining this gym.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Not too crowded as the many times throughout thr day I have been in, I am able to use the variety of machines I want/need. Locker rooms are always clean. I also love the fact that they have a small cafe where I can get some food and a protein smoothie before work or running errands after my workouts.

Fantastic experience: Great place to have peace

Fantastic experience: Great everything. Friendly and knowledgeable trainers, clean and well-organized facility, plenty of equipment, awesome classes. Lots of special events to make things fun.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is super friendly. I’m a fan of how often they have fitness challenges to win prizes/raise awareness for a cause. All the members I’ve befriended have obvious relationships with other members of the gym and it’s nice to see them constantly interacting with different faces. All of the classes I’ve seen them offer have great coaches leading them. Personally, I have been looking for a new Muay Thai team to join and Coach Marc has established a solid team that has so far pushed me to grow and face my areas of weakness head-on. Shout out to Dan!

Fantastic experience: Very motivating gym. Love the smoothies, the UFC gear is a must. Great great daycare staff. All the staff is very friendly. Me and my family always feel very welcome.

Fantastic experience: Excellent jiu jitsu program at around 1/3 the price of every nearby academy, can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: UFC Gym Sunnyvale is a great place. I've been a member for about 2 years and I can say that it's worth each penny. We have classes every day, very good and caring coaches (Sean, Stefano, Mono, Erick, Trevor and many more) and the staff is just like family. And for sure, the biggest perk is the Kids Club, Joe and his team do miracles with the kids. The only down side is that I don't have enough time in my schedule to attend to more classes (: Hands down the best place gym I've ever been part of.

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to leave a positive review here as my interactions with the staff has been nothing short of terrific. Kenny, Tony, Dan, Hannah, Mark, Yusef, and Autumn. They've all been very easy to talk to, patient, and accommodating. They've answered my questions in person, my texts, and e-mails. Even with their busy schedules, I've never felt rushed with any of my them. I look forward to training at this gym throughout my membership duration! Thanks UFC Sunnyvale!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym in Sunnyvale that offers a great environment for solo workout, group classes or strength training. I would have stayed if we didn't move - sign up and cancellation was easy just follow the directions. The boxing conditioning classes and daily ultimate training classes are great and is a kick in the butt, I workout 4-5 times a week and still find those classes challenging (of course you have to push yourself). All the staff is great, from checking in to the coaches that lead the class. Friendly, professional, awesome. Bathroom/locker is not the most world-class, but who cares? you go to the gym to change your body and define yourself, most of your time if not all should be spent on the floor not in the bathroom anyways. Try it out and stick with it! UFC Sunnyvale offers something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Have been working out with UFC GYM Sunnyvale for two years. Love very part. Great group classes, especially love U-JAM, Strong Zumba, Yoga, Kickboxing. friendly instructors, clean facilities.

Fantastic experience: The stuff is nice, the machines are in nice condition. Very satisfying overall.

Fantastic experience: Just signed up for a 3 year membership at this gym, it's that good! Wide range of classes from kickboxing, boxing, fight fit and other high intensity classes. Classes go as late as 8pm so I can get there after work, and the coaches are so helpful in assisting with technique throughout the class. This gym feels like you're part of a community. (Also: lockers are clean!)

Fantastic experience: This review is for Andrew Aumend. Andrew has been a great facilitator of my personal fitness goals working with me as a trainer on proper form, technique, diet and education. Andrew takes the time to work with you on your personal roadmap for where you want to be and has the knowledge and experience to really mentor you through that process while maintaing a professional etiquette with just the right amount of motivation to help you understand your potential. I look forward to my sessions with Andrew and am happy happy he’s at the UFC Gym The UFC Gym is a great place to sign up if you’re looking for a gym that has a bit of everything as well as things you would expect that come from the brand name - full size octagon, BJJ, heavy bags, etc and offers a variety of different classes to help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever visited or trained!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve every gone to compared to every other gym out there! It’s a 24hr facility, equipment is amazing, has the boxing bags, the octagon, a kids club, various classes, food and snack bar, Olympic platforms to do your lifts, & the facility is very clean. The staff is sooooo friendly, I’m always looking forward to going there because it’s such a great environment.

Fantastic experience: Favorite gym ever. I love this place. There is such a variety of classes from yoga, to self defense, to a daily ultimate training class that all accommodate for people of any fitness level to participate. Plus they have normal gym machines and weights. All the coaches are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Special shout out to Tim and Angie! They even have a smoothie bar inside. It's an all around great atmosphere. My only complaint is that I never want to go to another gym ever.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with these guys a lot and they are a friendly bunch. Not your ordinary gym this is... You make real buds here.

Fantastic experience: Two words: round plates.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in the Bay Area. The equipments are excellent, the coaches are super cool. Try out a DUT class and you might end up addicted to fitness.

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment and more that may not be found at other chains. Some reviews mention cleanliness problems, but I haven't seen anything that made me not want to use an equipment. There isn't someone cleaning a machine seconds after use, but I have yet to see any sweat stains or such.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Clean and has everything you need. Awesome for mma/boxing lovers.
