Terrible management. Trying to get a hold of somebody for a month now, no ownership. Everybody "just works there" can't get anyone with authority.
I was a member at UFC Gym Sunnyvale for about a year, and honestly, it didn’t live up to the name.
The biggest issue is the lack of machines and limited space. During peak hours, it gets very crowded, and you often have to wait or adjust your workout because equipment just isn’t available. It feels like the gym is undersized for the number of members they have and also the machines and equipment are frequently for a extended time period are broken.
On top of that, the quality of the machines is below expectations. Some equipment feels worn out or not well-maintained, which is disappointing for a gym carrying the UFC brand.
To be fair, the staff are friendly and helpful, which is a plus. But that alone doesn’t make up for the overall experience.
Overall, the name sets high expectations, but the reality feels more like an average, overcrowded gym with limited equipment. I expected much better.
Don't join this gym. They are predatory and you will never be able to cancel your membership! They count on misleading sales tactics and impossible cancellation process. Even when they tell you that your membership is cancelled they continue to charge you for months, and if you ask them about it, they will not refund you even though you cancelled. And the credit card company will not accept a dispute because UFC gym has some kind of deal with them. Don't get stuck in this BLACK HOLE!!! In the sales process they said they had parties to watch UFC fights on Saturdays and every time I came, they were closed with no sign, no notice, no party! AVOID, go somewhere else where they appreciate customers.

Brian K was my personal trainer at UFC Sunnyvale, and I had a great experience. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and keeps the workouts challenging without being overwhelming. Brian does a great job of tailoring sessions to your fitness level while still pushing you to improve.
What stood out most was his positive attitude and genuine investment in my progress. He makes the environment comfortable and motivating, which makes it much easier to stay consistent.
If you’re looking for a trainer who knows what he’s doing and is easy to work with, I’d definitely recommend Brian.
I went to UFC Sunnyvale for about a year on recommendation of a friend, and it was a great experience
When I got the membership, I also caught a three-month trainer holiday promotion deal, since I knew I would have trouble getting myself to go consistently, and while I've been to the gym a bit before, I still wasn't the most familiar with how to make a routine, work towards any goals, or even use a lot of the non-machine equipment
I was paired up with Coach Brian Kaho, and he was a great coach. My goal was mainly weight loss to help with some serious health issues I developed, but I also wanted to just have base strength, stamina, and endurance I didn't have before, whether for if I'm invited to do something athletic with friends, or just for day-to-day life
Brian was great with working at me where I was at, while still helping me work towards my goals. He knew how to adapt the exercises and how to go about teaching me the core basics to be able to actually build up the skills I needed to do the exercises while also starting to build up the muscle to be able to actually do them
Brian was incredibly motivating and encouraging as well, always hyping me up and pushing me to do more while still respecting fully when I did need to take breaks or modify an exercise. He also fully respected boundaries I had set, such as me not wanting to discuss dietary stuff and notwanting to take pre-workout due to my own health issues. He also always worked with me on helping us figure out my specific goals and checked-in wirh me on them
I lost a significant amount of weight over the span of that year, which greatly improved multiple weight-related health issues of mine. That amount of improvement isn't something you can just buy outright
I also gained some more muscle, which definitely has helped with day-to-day living, and I can't complain about how my fisque has changed from that too. But really, beyond health improvements, the biggest thing working with him helped with was building confidence, faniliarity, and comfortability with being at the gym.
In the past, I've gone to the gym and learned a lot of different exercises, but I often would be overwhelmed and often not know how to structure a full workout for myself. Now, I can walk into any gym and make a workout routine for whatever muscle group I want to target, adapt it for the machines and free weights available, remember or figure out the exact body postion to do the exercises properly, figure out sets and reps, and determine weights would push me without hurting me, or modify if weights end up being too much
The UFC gym in sunnyvale overall is generally a great vibe as well. I did some of the kickboxing classes, which were fun, but there were a lot of other classes I didn't have the time to try that definitely caught my eye. The equipment is always in good shape there as well, and staff has always been helpful with dealing with any issues like trainer session payment processing and such
