Coach Rubie has made me feel like I CAN DO anything I put my mind to. She has made me feel more confident in myself. I have transformed drastically in my strength and body positivity. I went from barely being able to lift 45lbs to mid rowing like 1.5X my body weight. I have noticed the change in the span of a month. I was the pipsqueak in high school and have asthma and she’s helped me transition out of my asthma. I was having trouble keeping them under control and she’s helped me barely have them anymore.

Great experience at this UFC gym. The weight lifting area is huge , with a great variety of free weight and machines if you are uno bodybuilding. There are two turf areas with all you need for performance and endurance workouts, a full size octagon, a grappling mat and spinning room. The recovery area was one of the most complete I have seen in a commercial gym and last but not least, the stuff was friendly and very informative. Highly recommended this place .

I've been to many different gyms over the last 15+ years and I can confidently say that his gym is top tier & very fairly priced, especially for a gym downtown. Basic membership gains you access to free weights & equipment, plus other spaces (like spin cycles or bags) if they're not being occupied by classes. This gym & women's locker room and bathrooms are extremely clean & the equipment is brand new and great quality. I read some other reviews about poor management, but there is a new GM here, Jess, and she is outstanding. This gym has a ton of different options and amenities (classes, recovery, tanning, etc) which are obviously added costs. If you're interested in joining I'd recommend taking a tour & discussing with them what you're interested in to get the best idea of how much it will cost if you want more than just a basic gym membership. They also offer 2 free hours of parking at a nearby parking garage. Highly recommend this gym, especially if you live around downtown.

I've been going to the UFC Gym for a while now, and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, and I never feel judged while working out. The coaches are awesome and genuinely care about your progress. James, in particular, really pushes me to do my best and makes personal training so much fun. Tom, the MMA coach, is very skilled and patient, and I've learned a lot from him. My son also attends the gym, and Robert, the youth coach, has been fantastic. My son was struggling with confidence at school, but Robert has helped him come out of his shell. Now, my son walks with confidence and loves going to the gym to learn and train in MMA. Additionally, Pedro has been a great help with my son's wrestling, further enhancing his skills and enjoyment of the sport. Thank you, coaches, for doing an amazing job! Overall, the UFC Gym has been a wonderful experience for both of us, and I highly recommend it!

I recently had an incredible percussion therapy session with Rubie at the UFC gym in downtown, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Rubie's expertise in targeting trigger points was evident from the start, as they skillfully navigated through each muscle group, ensuring no stone was left unturned. The session not only helped me achieve a greater range of flexibility but also significantly expedited my recovery process. It's clear that Rubie possesses a deep understanding of the body and how to optimize its performance and healing. For anyone looking to enhance their physical well-being, Rubie's theragun session is a must. A solid 5 stars for an experience that has left me feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on my next challenge.

Definitely worth my time and Coach Rubie enlightened me with a lot of good advice for pre and post workout stretching / warm up, etc.

When I took this class, I had no idea what to expect or any boxing experience whatsoever, Rob eases you in. He's super helpful and will work with you 1 on 1 while breaking down the fundmentals. You can't ask for anything better. Genuinely a good dude. I participated in the HIIT class with Rubi and she noticed how tight my muscles were. She provided this percussion therapy, which, right after the session, I was able to deep stretch and bend in places that I couldn't previous to the session. No b.s. I don't write reviews good or bad, but Rob Jackson and Rubi Moore are a cut above the rest and deserve to be recognized.

I have been going to this gym for a couple of months now and absolutely love it. I initially joined just to be able to take the jiu jitsu classes but would honestly have joined just for the fitness center part of it. They have all new equipment and everything you could possibly need and best of all it's usually not too busy even in the evenings after work which you will not find at any other gym in the city. It is fairly expensive but you get what you pay for and if you are serious about health and fitness then it's well worth the investment. The only downside is that you have to go downtown, I wish it was located in any other part of the city.

I Waited About 45min For Him To Show Up And Eventually Said Forget It. I Talked With I Believe One Of The Managers And He Said That Alex Told Him That He Didn’t See That He Had An Appointment On His Calendar Wednesday Because The Systems Were Messing up That Day.

Nice gym with good equipment. However, very shady workers. Ian gave me a tour and signed me up for my membership and I made it clear I only wanted to pay $20/mo for my membership. He said recovery (massage beds etc.) is free your first month (first lie), and said to come to him to upgrade if I wanted to use recovery after my first month is up. After checking my account & seeing a random $60 charge on my bank statement I called them up, just for Ian to say he made it clear that the $60 was a recurring charge, IN ADDITION to the $20 I was already paying. Who on earth is trying to pay $80/mo when I made it clear I wanted the most basic membership at sign up? He told me initially that my sign up charges included the $60 annual fee (second lie). It doesn’t, and I will be billed March 12th. This means TWO total charges of $60 that I didn’t authorize. All Ian could say on the phone is “I have your signature here stating you agreed to it”. Well when you lie to me about what the $60 is for, that kinda happens. What throws me is during the tour he was talking about how Pittsburghers don’t want to pay $60/mo for a membership so they reduced the price to $20. I agreed that $60 is too much, and during the sign up I made it VERY clear I wanted to only pay $20. How he truly thinks he thoroughly explained that I’d be billed $80/mo when he signed me up is beyond me. And I dare say he needs a mental evaluation. That did not happen. He was also very dismissive when talking to me. He was invalidating everything I said and not trying to come up with a solution. Having been in sales for 3 years, I have to say he has LOTS to learn. Memberships at a gym are the lowest of the low in terms of skill in sales, and you can’t even do that? Needless to say, I canceled my membership today, and Ian seemed to not be interested in the reason why I was canceling because this probably happens to him all the time. Sometimes you just know that you are the problem so there’s no need to ask. Update: The GM Cody has reached out offering 2 free months of membership for my troubles.

Then they want extra fees on top for guest and sauna and sun bathing and classes totaling up to like 150 why would I do this when I can get all that for 25 at crunch I did a trial here and most of the equipment was warn out, bathrooms where nasty and they close at 6pm Friday Saturday and Sunday the main time and days I do goto the gym All jokes aside if the base gym fee was like 10 a month ids kinda rate it higher then 2 but it just seems like you offer less then other gyms for the price you want

The only problem I DO have is that when I wanted to cancel it I couldn’t do it on the app they made me get, so I thought I’d pay manually and it wouldnt take money out whenever it wanted. But lo and behold here I am off the phone with them and now I can’t get 25 dollars back. I asked to get a refund because I’m not going back and there’s no option to cancel, and now I’m down 25 dollars. If you want to cancel a membership you either have to send in a letter or go in and sign something? As someone who is new to gyms and has problems with motivation in the first place, this wasn’t a good experience.AT ALL

This is regarding the gym at the Waterfront/Homestead location. Hello, I was going to this gym for awhile and just paying with cash to see, if I would be interested in attending here as a member. Glad I didn’t sign up because everytime there are two classes going on, I cannot access the equipment I need like a mat or a foam roller, as another poster said, this is an ongoing problem here when there are two classes going on at once. I cant imagine what it will be like in January when more people will be there and this gym is so small compared to most gyms in the area. It is wrong to have two classes going on at once when it is a very tiny and small gym.

It’s disheartening to see that the YMCA was turned into a UFC gym for nothing. This place is dirty. The girls bathroom was highly unkept the entirety of my membership & this place never seems to have sanitized wipes for equipment, soap and paper towels for the restrooms, or clean facilities all around. They make a decent penny at this location so it’s surprising to see they can’t consistently afford necessities of a public gym. The only service that made this gym worth the money were the boxing classes lead by Coach Rob Jackson. Unfortunately , management fails to protect the safety of both employees and gym members. There have been multiple incidents followed by complaints of gym members being violent towards staff and other members. Yet nothing was done to resolve the issues and has ultimately lead me to cancel my membership for my own safety. The list could go on, but to conclude you’re better off going to a planet fitness or supporting local boxing/ufc coaches/gyms rather than this dump.

I cannot stress enough when I say this; the boxing classes taught by coach Rob Jackson are the absolute best classes in this fine establishment. Each time you take a class, he takes great care and pride to make sure that not only you can throw a punch, but that you know how to throw a punch correctly. The MMA classes in this gym are superb, but if you want to get your hard earned money's worth, then Coach Jackson's boxing classes are definitely worth a look. EDIT (09/26/2024): I was made aware that this gym has fired coach Rob Jackson. Let me stress this for everyone to see. Without Coach, this gym is a bunch of guys LARPing as tough guys. The bathrooms are a mess, no body wash, dirty as all hell, the showers are covered in mildew, and the only coach that actually knew what he was doing was fired for disingenuous reasons.

Cancelling at this gym is an absolute nightmare. My teen son canceled back in May, and was told he would need to pay June’s fees and then cancellation would happen. After everything was paid up he called the gym and make sure the cancellation was complete and was told it was. In July they took another payment out. After multiple calls and their staff saying they couldn’t see a cancellation on file and always saying the manager was out, we showed up in person and was assured by Ian that the cancellation was on file and that he would make sure we weren’t charged again. Lo and behold, August they tried to take another payment. More calls telling him that the manager is out and they can’t do anything. At that point we had to go through our bank to stop the payment attempts. Now it is September and he’s being threatened with getting sent to collections. He FINALLY was able to talk to a manager today who said he couldn’t do anything and gave him an email address to try. If that’s the only way to cancel, I’m not sure why we were given the email months ago or why we were told multiple times to talk to the manager who apparently has no ability to cancel memberships. Or why the cancellation that was on file back in May magically disappeared.

Bathrooms are disgusting and regularly run out of soap or paper towels. The water fountains have brown stains around them and their water tastes funny (unreplaced filters probably, keep in mind the water in Pittsburgh is as bad as Flint, Michigan). The weightlifting plates at the racks are cheap and basic and go 10lbs, 25lbs, 35lbs, and 45lbs, so no 25 kilo plates or 2.5 kilo plates. Staff is friendly tho.

Absolutely not satisfied with the service at the gym, the employees lied to me twice, first I registered at the gym because I would only be an intern in Pittsburgh for the summer and they said they would not charge the annual fee for being an intern, the second time they lied to me is When I canceled they told me that there would be no problem and that they would not charge me but they found out that the next day they charged me the annual fee and the next day they charged me for a new month even though my membership was already cancelled, I have been calling for the last two weeks and The workers keep playing with me and tell me it's something about the financial, they gave me an email to make my money refund and it turns out that they never responded to me and that the email doesn't exist. Don't go to this gym. Very bad experience and I feel like they stole 85 dollars from me.

Cheaters ! This place is a rip off. Their staff will PRESSURE you on last day of trial to sign up for $19 membership and then keep putting random charges to your account every month. in the last 2 months they have charged me $260 overall. When you ask their manager or staff, they will try to sound so innocent like oh.. that is for recovery that you never signed up for, oh.. that is advance cancellation period fee.. (really ?) oh thats yearly enhancement fee that we charge randomly anytime to anyone we like especially to new members.. I mean its really an organized way to rip off theirs clients by their entire team from the very start. No wonder they will lose clients and run a mostly empty gym and eventually shut. I will quit this gym as it is run by a very desperate sales staff who dont leave any chance to misinform and cheat.

The bad review comes from the fact that they charge you for recovery fees (60$) when you sign up as a free service and then after following up multiple times with the management and explicitly mentioning you don’t want that service from the following month, you still see a charge of 60$ on your account. Really poor customer service experience. The gym is nice, but requesting a refund and stopping recovery fee has been a nightmare. I had to follow up every few days but I got a response that the manager isn’t in or isn’t available now. I won’t recommend signing up. Go to union fitness or rivers club instead
