About

UFC GYM Mililani offers comprehensive martial arts training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai within a modern facility in Honolulu's upscale Mililani shopping center. The gym features specialized training areas including an octagon, heavy bag zones that members praise as excellent stress relievers, and Olympic lift platforms alongside full cardio and strength equipment. Members appreciate the clean, family-friendly atmosphere where both staff and fellow gym-goers maintain high sanitation standards, with multiple reviewers noting they regularly see cleaning staff at work. The coaching staff includes experienced instructors like UFC veteran Russell Doane for BJJ and boxing, Kyle Olivares for BJJ, and James Bautista for youth boxing, with members specifically praising the Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructors as "totally awesome." Additional amenities include recovery services with percussion massage, hydrotherapy, and cryotherapy, plus a retail store, cafe, WiFi, and sauna for a complete fitness experience. Many members describe the gym as inviting and not too crowded, with a positive vibe that makes training enjoyable for both adults and children who participate in youth programs. The facility's extensive equipment selection and specialized martial arts spaces provide diverse training options beyond standard gym offerings. Parents particularly value the youth jiujitsu and wrestling classes where their children thrive under quality instruction in a supportive environment. While the training experience receives consistent praise, some members note the cost structure can be challenging for families, with suggestions for improved family membership packages and additional class offerings like late-night yoga to enhance accessibility. The gym's connection to UFC legend BJ Penn adds historical appeal for combat sports enthusiasts, though this association has drawn mixed reactions from some community members. Overall, UFC GYM Mililani delivers professional martial arts instruction in a well-maintained facility that caters to serious athletes and recreational fitness seekers alike. The combination of expert coaching, comprehensive amenities, and positive community atmosphere makes it a standout option for Honolulu-area residents seeking authentic combat sports training alongside traditional fitness resources.

Love the UFC Gym in Mililani! Workers are helpful and I always see at least 2 people cleaning and sanitizing. Members are also very good about sanitizing after themselves, especially when using the equipment. My favorite area is the heavy bag area, always a great outlet to relieve the stressors of the day!

Great gym with plenty of new equipment located in a nice upscale shopping center. I loved watching Penn fights growing up, so visiting was a great experience.

I really like this gym. Both of my kids attend Jiujitsu and wrestling classes here, and they enjoy it. I was attending as well, but it got too expensive to have a five memberships per family. What I would like to see improved to be rated 5 stars. First of all, family membership packages. When one loses a membership scan tag there shouldn’t be a $25 charge for a new one. Late night yoga classes. If this gym offered a late night yoga classes I would re-join. The positives. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructors were totally awesome! The gym is inviting, and not too crowded.

Supposedly I can't cancel my membership because they tagged on a $60 'annual fee' that they were not able to take from my bank even though I paid for three months and was only there for 2. I moved from Mililani to Honolulu, so I was thinking about transferring to the other club, but their actions are all about money. After everything that keeps popping up in the news about their leader BJ Penn being arrested for harassing his mom I don't want to be affiliated with this club. The gym members were pretty cool and the vibe was family friendly, but it felt like one of the managers was scolding me, for wanting to collect more money.

The UFC gym is good but being a part of their membership sucks! I’ve never had so many problems and charges for no reason by any other gym than this one. I hate it. And customer support gives you a run around every time.
