UFC GYM Sunnyvale

I have been around too many gyms to remember, but not one like this. The vibe is just so different, supportive, most positive, energetic, collaborative. I mean, it really is 'all good things'. I think of this place as my own zen zone, or a play ground of a sorts. But as we all know, it is not the place, but the people who make an environment conducive to growth and self en-betterment. The coaches ARE entirely outstanding here, with such various backgrounds and years experience in their own various fields; you will find what you need here, whatever your goals are. Quite certain to say this. Here I wanted to highlight one coach, in particular, Jason Gemmer. Jason was my coach for the entire past year, (luckily for me) and has been 'assigned', aka *strongly suggested* to me for my initial goals, - building the best correct technique in the boxing sport. Jason Gemmer is the best there is in my gym, as the gym's unanimous feedback goes. But what I value even more, is how incredibly sharp and educated Jason is in his field and beyond, how involved he keeps in his clients' success, their well-being, not just the physical health, but also the mental state and overall happiness. I honestly feel that I received more than just a boxing coach, or a  pro-physique bodybuilding trainer (I say that because my goal has evolved or mutated over the year and Jason was able to coach me and support me in this as well :)) I received what I asked for and much more! I would say that in large part, Jason is a good mentor as well, because of the abundance of knowledge he holds, because of how resourceful he makes every effort to be. The best coach I have had a pleasure of knowing, hands down. Thanks UFC! I owe ya one. ;) More...

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 gym I've ever been part of. More...

Full disclosure as I work at UFC, but I have to give a shout out to the amazing coaches and classes at the gym-- most especially Pop Pilates with Wendy is sheer delight, all the dance class are top notch amazing the full house down, and Kick Ass Kick with Eversley will get your heart pumping. I love the community at this gym, the people who both work here and attend weekly are the real deal, and the support we give one another is second to none. More...

This place has truly become my home over the last two years. There's a lot of classes to choose from. I love taking Below the belt and killer cycle with coach Joleen. Theres nothing like an instructor who takes her time to explain things and pushes you just enough to reveal your true potential. DUT class is a must. Starting to like power pilates as well. Coaches are versatile and supportive of all abilities. But my favorite part of UFC gym is the community. I have made many friends while working on my fitness. Double win!! More...

I've been training here for about a year now. So far I've mostly done the daily ultimate training which is great if you get bored by your routine or have trouble motivating yourself when training on your own. All coaches have their own style and mix it up pretty well so there is always something new. Also like the alternating 6pm/7pm starting times during the week to accommodate people who can't make an earlier class. After a while you know the trainer's styles and can pick the days that best fit what you like. Some focus more on fewer exercises and doing them a certain way, others will push you the entire time and only give you a minimum amount of rest. Either way you'll likely be spent at the end and have a nice workout that addresses all the major muscle groups. Only complaint would be that at the beginning of the year (when everybody is still having their New Years resolution) classes could be very crowded. For that they should enforce a stricter cut off time. (Like you can't join the class ten minutes late) Of course they also have everything you'd expect in a normal gym. Plenty of treadmills, Crosstrainers, free weights and machines. Haven't tried any striking classes yet but they also look like a lot of fun. Might try that very soon. More...

The gym is clean and never too busy (except during DUT sessions). The staff is friendly and overall I'm super happy. For personal training, I highly recommend Sean Whitmore.  My goal was to gain weight and improve my performance. I started with 160lbs and I gained 8lb in two months. He has helped me reach my goals and has taken my fitness level to a place I never thought I could go. I've done a 10 personal training sessions with him so far, but it's already clear that Sean really wants his clients to succeed. He goes into detail about why certain movements are important, or why a small change in form makes a big difference. He is uplifting and it's always fun working out with him. He's a great guy and super easy to talk to. Listens to you regarding what you're looking for training-wise and seems to be thoughtful about what circuits he teaches you. Definitely a chill dude and pretty funny as well. More...

Where do I start with how amazing UFC Sunnyvale is !?  I joined a few months ago, the cost is a steal if you take advantage of all that they have to offer. This place is always open, always inclusive and friendly, always clean, the equipment and class quality and variety is better that most every gym around.   After gaining a ton of weight, then having a baby I had fallen completely out of shape and honestly had no hope into getting my body or my athletic drive back. I joined UFC as a suggestion by joleen apilado, and I stayed because of all of the reasons above, but most of all because of coach Marc Saguid. Coach Marc was patient, professional, helpful and helped me restart from the ground up. To go to a large group class and get individual attention during class is unheard of but he always manages, especially with all newcomers and it makes us all feel welcome. He reminded me that I am an athlete and encouraged me to develop my fitness in all aspects. He encouraged me to take other classes where I Emt more amazing coaches such as Sean and chris Lopez, coach russ and Jason.and Yanet. They are all also knowledgeable, patient, welcoming, helpful, fun and they really kick your butt!!  One thing I love about this gym is there aren't a bunch of trainers following you around trying to push you into personal sessions like other gyms. I actually decided to take up personal sessions through casual conversation with Marc about what my goals were and how I could get there. I see him and the other coaches take this approach rather than pushing it on people they find out what they need and want and match them with the best coach to fit their personality and goals. They truly care about your learning, well being, and satisfaction here.   My review would not be complete without tipping my hat to their kids program here! They SAVED me. My daughter would NOT go to day care at city sports. When I came here I was already impressed by the number of staff in the room, the size of the room and quality and variety of play gear. My daughter was a pain in the butt at first to be honest. They were SO patient with her, a few times I had to get called back to get her but they all encouraged me to keep trying. Now my daughter asks to go to the gym! Mirell Angie and Tracy and Jay are fun, patient and responsible and they are always thinking of cute fun activities. Thank you girls!! More...

I literally never leave reviews, but I joined here about 2.5 months ago and it's become my second favorite place to be (second to only my own home)! It's a great facility with amazing programs and even better coaches! I've been to a decent amount of their kickboxing & boxing classes, and the coaches are always super knowledgeable and helpful. Obviously, the classes are more geared towards group fitness, but if you're really looking to hone your technique for sparring, the best option is to start one on one training with any of the coaches. Huge shoutout to Coach Marc! Easily the best and most knowledgeable/experienced coaches there! His classes always emphasize fundamentals, lots of situational skills and has great energy. You can really tell the passion he has for educating his students, and it shows when you see a lot of his regulars making huge improvements! TLDR: All in all, exceptional gym! Not overcrowded, great bang for your buck. Don't hesitate to pull the trigger and start your martial arts journey! More...

She's the perfect amount of encouraging, motivating and tough during every session. Meeting with her multiple times per week has held me accountable and I also look forward to seeing her often because I know I will get a better workout than if I was just going on my own.

Hands down. This is the most fun gym i have been to with so many different activities.So I joined this gym maybe about 2 and a half months ago. I didnt know what to expect when joining this gym. I must say I was probably a little intimidated because it's a UFC gym!! So I set up an appointment and Dan had given me a tour. Holy cow he is so nice and so chill! When he was showing me around he was super funny and you could see him greeting everyone and how friendly everyone here was. He even was kind enough to do demos of kick boxing and what classes they offer. We sat down down together and I asked if there were any hidden fees how easy is it to quit and he was very straight forward. So I thought okay let's sign up and see how it goes. Tried my first classes doing capoeira and everyone was so friendly!!! I thought I would embarrass myself but everyone was helpful and I wasnt the only beginner so it made me feel better.The first day at the gym I spent 4 hours there. I took 2 classes and did weights and hung out a little at the cafe getting the green smoothie which was delicious. Later I tried to jiu  jutsu classes for gi and totally lost!!! But stephano who is the coach is the best! THE BEST!!!!! He made sure to do step by step how to do the warm ups with me and everyone else in the class also helps too if I'm struggling. The one downside is that you have to use a gi from the gym store, but it's really good quality and is still holding up for me. I still come to this class every week and even roll with the guys now. It works up a sweat and it is awesome. Some days you are in the blue room and some days you get to be in the octagon. Fun fun!! After bjj I would usually go to fight fit and then get my butt kicked. Sweating so hard and learning great techniques. You definitely dont leave the gym feeling like you didnt push yourself hard enough. Every so often when I'm here in the morning also I see them do maintenance on their equipment so it's also good to know that they keep everything up to date. They also have locker rooms with plenty of space and showers. Just remember to bring your own lock.Super happy to be apart of this gym. More...

All the coaches are friendly people and treat you nicely whenever you have a question. I joined with the mindset of learning striking/boxing but I discovered BJJ instead which has been one of my best experiences so far.

Great gym! I’ve never seen it overcrowded, always a treadmill open. It’s got everything I’d want except a pool, but you can’t have everything. But the real kicker is the level of instruction! I go for Jiu Jitsu. I’ve trained with Stephano, Trevor, and Paul, and they are top notch! These guys never just teach a bunch of moves. They teach moves that are related, they teach sequences, they teach the philosophy that informs the moves, and they teach the nuances. I’d say the one draw-back is that there are no training partners above blue belt that I’ve seen. So if you are a purple belt or higher, you’d be missing the aspect of training in which you are regularly beaten down by a more skilled opponent if you trained here exclusively. Bonus, though, if you are female and don’t feel Okay about rolling against males, there are other female training partners. The training partners available all seem to be level-headed, good partners. No one is out to prove a point or show off. I have not trained any striking arts here but I’ve spoken with some of the instructors and I’m impressed.
