I’ve got to give UFC GYM Point Loma credit. As a former boxer, I’ve spent a lot of time in gyms over the years, and I’m genuinely impressed with this place. Great equipment, clean facility, and a really good environment to train in.
I also spent years operating and managing a restaurant brand in multiple countries, so whether I want to or not, I tend to notice how places are run 😂 From the front desk to the staff on the gym floor, this place is run well. And yes, I’m one of those people who checks the bathrooms. Clean as a whistle.
Anthony, the GM, deserves real credit. Talking with him honestly felt more like having a big brother looking out for you. He was patient, listened, and genuinely helped me figure out what made sense for me. The staff never felt overly salesy or like they were constantly trying to push something on you.
Overall, it was a genuinely good experience. I walked away feeling like I found the right gym.
The gym is slowly becoming a luxury gym experience for good prices!
2 floors, very spacious feel all around. There is a wide variety of equipment. I love the dedicated section of Booty Builder machines, as well as the 9 squat racks and 7 sets of cable machines (cable rows, lat pulldowns, etc) - You are never waiting for one of these to open up, even during rush hour!
Another great thing I've noticed here - the camaraderie. Especially among the members who take group fitness classes (kickboxing, mat pilates, jiu jitsu, etc). The overall friendliness among the variety of members is unlike any other gym I've been to. So many people here have said the exact same thing.
Last but not least... my absolute favorite part of the gym is the Recovery Center. It has been recently remodeled, and offers a luxury feel / services for the remarkable price point (49/mo or 399/yr). Cryotherapy is one of the most popular amenities here, which can cost around $100/mo as a standalone service anywhere outside of this gym. I personally love the infrared sauna, red light therapy panel, and Normatec compression the most. You can literally spend half a day here with all the great amenities there are in this room.

The gym is really great, with an excellent atmosphere where everyone is friendly and in a good mood. I am very happy training here and highly recommend it to everyone.
I want to give a special shout-out to my personal trainer, Jakob. He is a very good and dedicated professional. During my initial assessment, he was super attentive and paid close attention to everything I said I was looking for. He truly focuses on your specific goals. The workout routine he gave me is perfect and exactly what I wanted. On top of that, Jakob pays close attention to detail and is always monitoring the key points of my form and execution during the exercises. Excellent experience!

My experience at UFC Gym has been consistently disappointing.
Cleanliness is one of the most noticeable negative aspects. Not only are the restrooms frequently dirty and have a strong urine odor, but the entire gym appears to lack proper care, with visible dust accumulation and very little attention given to the overall maintenance of the facility.
Another issue I simply do not understand is how some training equipment is managed. Several items are kept behind the front desk, forcing members to interrupt their workouts every time they need to use them. At the same time, equipment that remains available for use, such as the battle ropes, is visibly worn out and deteriorated, giving the impression that maintenance and replacement of equipment are not a priority.
Another area that deserves attention is the lack of proper staff training. The front desk employees often come across as unfriendly, lacking empathy, and providing service that is frequently rude. It is clear that the team would benefit from training focused on customer experience, where kindness, respect, and common sense are part of the daily interaction with members, rather than treating them as just another person paying a monthly membership.
I also had an extremely unpleasant experience today. I continued paying for the Recovery service for two months while the area was closed for renovations. Today, due to a temporary issue with my credit card, my membership payment did not go through, and I was denied access to the Recovery area. At no point did anyone attempt to have a conversation, show understanding, or offer a simple solution, such as allowing me access and asking me to complete the payment the following day, or even accepting payment through Apple Pay on the spot. The only response was to deny me entry.
I am a member who trains at this gym almost every day. I have always honored my payments and have continued paying for the Recovery service for months. I expected a more human approach and some consideration for my history as a loyal member, instead of such a cold and inflexible attitude.
What is most frustrating is realizing that investing in renovations, new equipment, and improving the facility means very little if the basics are not delivered. A great customer experience begins with kindness, respect, cleanliness, and genuine customer care. Unfortunately, those values do not appear to be a priority at UFC Gym.
I would also like to point out another concern regarding the gym’s pricing practices. It is both frustrating and questionable that long-time members continue paying significantly higher prices for the exact same services, while new members receive promotional rates that can be more than 50% lower. Rewarding new customers is understandable, but loyal members who have supported the gym for years should be valued as well.
I sincerely hope these concerns reach UFC Gym’s corporate leadership in the United States, not just the management of this individual location. I understand that many policies and decisions are made at higher levels, which naturally limits what the local management team can do. My goal in writing this review is not simply to complain, but to contribute to improving the overall member experience.
UFC Gym has an excellent facility and tremendous potential. However, modern equipment, renovations, and a beautiful facility only have real value when they are accompanied by respect, cleanliness, proper maintenance, and customer service that truly makes members feel appreciated and valued.

This is one of the best gyms I've ever been to. There is every bit of equipment anyone could ask for. And then there is the ring that you can jump in if you think you can make the test... There are so many beautiful nice tough respectful people in this gym. Everyone is just chill in this gym. There are a lot of tough guys and gals in there.its dually a place to workout and a place to train. I love this place I wouldn't go anywhere else to workout!!..the classes and the upgrade are worth it... So many people to learn from here..This is an upscale gym at super inexpensive prices... Introductory offer for me was 1 dollar down 20 bucks a month...what a deal for such a great gym!!! I would pay 100 dollars a month if I had to... And I'm not interested in working out anywhere else in San Diego I've been to them all... 20 out of 10 for me...
