I love the energy and vibe when I walk in. The front desk welcome and are very engaging to the point I feel like I work with them. Ever since I first stepped in and during my free trial period, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time. The coaches are hard core yet supportive and guiding. Every time I walk in I always know I'll be pushed and waking up the next day hella sore. I feel incredibly happy to be part of the family at UFC and proud to be back into boxing, kickboxing, and training. More...

I've been a member now since October of 2018 and I've never experienced a gym like this. I used to waste so many memberships in the past 5 years with NYSC, Planet Fitness, Blink, and Retro Fitness because (and I didn't know this at the time) the traditional method of working out was monotonous and uninteresting to me. I work in Staten Island and live in Queens so every morning on my way to work I stop by this SOHO location and their hours are perfect (6 am to 11 pm on some weekdays). Luckily upon signing up I was given free training sessions. I'll admit I expected this upon arrival and looked at it as a sales pitch but nonetheless I took advantage of the offer and it was a blessing in disguise! Jeff has been my personal trainer since October of 2018 and I've not only gotten stronger but I've learned so much as well! I've learned all about proper form, functional fitness, the value of exercises requiring compound movements, dieting and discipline. I've attended the Boxing/Kickboxing conditioning classes, jiu jitsu classes, DUT (Daily Ultimate Training), Muay Thai personal training, Kickboxing and Boxing fundamentals classes and I've made friends and learned so much. I like attending these self defense classes during my rest days from strength training due to the emphasis on technique rather than overloading the body so there is ALWAYS something to do even on your off days.I would highly recommend anyone who wants to improve themselves to join this gym ESPECIALLY if you're a newbie like me.

I really enjoyed my time here for the summer! Specifically, training with Coach Justin was a highlight. I felt like he really cared about helping me to reach my goals and pushed me hard during sessions while still maintaining a friendly and open attitude. He answered all of my questions, made new exercises less scary, and even drafted a workout plan for me after I go back to school. I would absolutely recommend Coach Justin for anyone looking for one-on-one coaching. I feel stronger now that I have worked out with him and now we are friends! More...

What can I say about UFC gym Soho? I like the gym, it took a little bit for me to get used to the atmosphere but that is more of a me thing than a them thing. I have to say one of the best decisions, for me, was to get personal training package and lucky enough to get Coach Oscar. He is knowledgeable and professional. Able to help me modify with my injuries (both with his exercises and concerns I might have for other exercises). He is encouraging and pushes you to do things that you THINK you can't do. He also isn't all about sessions with him, he encourages taking classes in conjunction to PT. He also believes it's good to get to know the other coaches as he believes they all bring something different and special to the table. Classes are tough but the coaches promote good form in ALL activities - whether it's a punch or a burpee, they do not want people to get injured and they want people to get the most out of what they do. I haven't taken classes with all of the coaches yet but the ones I have are really phenomenal. If you are consistent they remember you and great you. And when you don't show up they ask why and if everything is ok. I don't see it as a "fight gym" and don't see it as a place to train for a UFC fight but that is my personal opinion. Evening classes do get crowded and instructors try to accommodate the best they can. Oscars DUT class is intense but great, as well as Xaviers conditioning classes. The other members are pleasant and my interactions with members have been great. With class suggestions and Coach suggestions and over all just females helping females being better and not breaking each other down. Can't say it's all members but the ones I have encountered.

I've been at UFC for almost a year now and can say this is easily my favourite gym in the city. Not to mention, this is the longest membership I've held at any gym. The coaches and even employees here really take the time to get to know you and sometimes make small conversations. Most employees at other big gyms won't really care that much about you. This is honestly what's kept me around this long. I love the boxing classes as well. The only cons would be there isn't as much machines or equipment as other big gyms. But to be able to take MMA or boxing classes AND have regular gym equipment, is a win win for me. More...

Today after 2 weeks of being away, I got back into the gym to box with Coach Norman! Lately with my crazy work/travel schedule it's been hard to train regularly. Even though my sessions are sporadic and usually weeks apart, Norman never gives up on me! He supports my goal to get back into crazy good shape this year (already down 22lbs since January), pushes me to move faster, hit harder and fight smarter. He also puts up with my bad memory (what's the combo again?) my slow feet and constantly forgetting to keep my hands up! All that said, seriously, if you're looking for a fun way to get back into shape and shred some stress, you definitely need to train with Coach Norman at UFC Soho! If boxing's not your thing, there's definitely something for everyone at UFC Soho, with a super supportive and positive staff to make you feel welcomed from day one. Literally the best gym experience I've had in a long time! More...

I've been going to UFC for about a year now and love it. The staff is very friendly and it feels like a community/family more than a gym that you just go to work out. Norman is my favorite coach at the gym because he makes you work hard but still likes to have fun, definitely look for him if you want to get in shape! More...

I absolutely love this gym. I've been a member for over a year and am so grateful to have been introduced to it. The staff is super welcoming and engaging and it's an all around positive and motivating environment. I am overall happy with the gym but I do wish there was a little more space for calisthenics since i love jump roping and box jumping. I noticed the mattress firm downstairs closed down recently and I was wondering if you guys are thinking of expanding downstairs? That would be amazing!! More...

So this is a long over due review as I've been an active member of this gym for 2 1/2 years.  I absolutely love this gym because of their equipment and their space.  They have various classes that can be taken throughout the day or your can do your own workout with the variety of equipment they have.  For example, they have 80kg tire, battle ropes, a sled which you can add weights to, punching bags and the list goes on.  The locker room is pretty clean.  Lastly, I cant wait for them to take over the first floor as sleepy's is no longer there.

Great gym, really motivates me to workout cardio. Very happy with everyone, very clean, front desk to coaches, everyone is extremely nice and helpful breaking everything down from your contract details to how each exercise is performed. I can honestly say it is worth the money, especially if you need motivation for cardio. I suggest taking preworkout prior to each class because some can be intense and make you sweat ! More...

So I live in Elmhurst, Queens but I like to take the train ride to the city for this gym. The classes start early in the morning which is great for a early bird like myself. I was just walking by the gym one day and decided to go in. After talking with the manger and taking a tour I decided to sign up. I need a place to get in shape and clear my head. Plus I get to learn some kick boxing on top of that which is great. Focus is what I needed and this place helps me out with that a lot. More...

Even though it’s a commute, I come down to the UFC Gym for classes several mornings a week. I love the coaches (Jaymark & Noel & Norman in the mornings! ), they push you hard, but take the time to get to know and encourage their students. Every day, there is a different style of class to keep your body training (TRX, kickboxing, circuit training), all tied together with boxing elements. I tried many different boxing studios on ClassPass before settling for a full time membership here. The rates are extremely affordable for the quality of training you receive. Love it!! More...

Much like many others, I have a gym available to me at work but get bored very easily.  I have always been interested in boxing and had meant to check this gym out much sooner.  When I finally checked it out over a month ago I was pleasantly surprised.  Rich gave me an awesome tour of the entire gym and I loved it.  I was ready to join before the tour but the front of house staff (Gil, Rich, Javi, Ivan, Sixta, Marcos) made me feel like family.  If your even slightly considering joining a gym, UFC Soho is the place you need to be at.  It is about $100 per month but that gives you unlimited access to DUT classes (circuit training), boxing classes, kickboxing classes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes (must purchase a Ghi), and probably other classes I have not even tried yet.  FYI one class is about $30 so if you attend a few you get your moneys worth easily.  It also gives you access to free weights, treadmills, machine weights, stair climbing machines, elliptical machines, bikes, and 150 lb. punching bags (something like 30 total but there is always one free at least 95% of the time).  There are also 3 bathroom stalls and 3 shower stalls with soap, shampoo, and conditioner, and 2 sinks with a dryer.  They also have towel service. The coaches are not any less amazing than the Front staff.  I mainly take DUT classes with Norman and he's great.  He pushes you to your potential and is just an overall awesome person.  I have also taken classes with Coach Brandon (teaches amazing boxing conditioning classes), Coach David (his DUT classes will leave you sore for days), and Coach Kenny (kickboxing class is a killer!).  Even the coaches I have not taken a class with yet are super friendly and will help you with any questions you have about fitness and technique.This gym has changed my life.   I love coming here and look forward to it the 4 times a week that I go.  The staff and coaches are top notch and the facility is huge.   Stop contemplating and just join and you will experience firsthand what I am talking about.  TRAIN DIFFERENT!
