I have just started at UFC gym Yorktown . I can’t express how happy I am with the short two weeks I have been going . I love the HIIT / boxing classes . I love the members I am meeting along the way as well . I also need to mention the support they have for first responders . I am a FF/ PM and they welcomed me with open arms at a discounted rate just to show their appreciation for what we do . What a first class Organization to do that for us because they understand how important our fitness is to our community . Lastly I want to mention my personal trainer Paul Chmura. He got with me and we formed a plan to attack my goals head on . He also does not let me slack off any of our sessions , all while making it fun ! I have never been excited to get my butt kicked week in and week out . He is a professional all across the board and I couldn’t recommend him enough .

UFC Gym Yorktown is an amazing gym with a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. Josh, the GM, is friendly and knowledgeable. Ben, my personal trainer, has been incredible — motivating, patient, and great at tailoring workouts to my goals. I’ve already seen great results and feel stronger and more confident. The staff is always helpful and upbeat, the equipment is great, and the environment is positive and supportive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a gym with great trainers and awesome energy!

New member to this gym and already thanking myself for joining after a few weeks. I've gotten a bit off routine and was looking for a gym that would get me back on track, but not intimidating. This gym fits the bill! Also decided to enlist extra guidance from a personal trainer - Paul Chmura. Cannot say enough good things about him! Paul is personable, motivating and incorporates as much "fun" one can have while getting a serious workout and sweating (a lot - ha). His routines are creative and challenging in all the right ways. Each session is different, well planned and tailored. This is exactly what I was looking for and need. UFC Yorktown is very casual and welcoming - nothing fancy, but I wasn't looking for a fancy gym. I appreciate their early hours and classes they offer. Staff is very friendly & instructors remember who you are and are supportive and encouraging.

I’ve been a member here for 6 years. When I joined, the gym was new and well maintained. Over time, it has steadily fallen into disrepair, and it’s now clear that basic maintenance and cleanliness are not priorities. Equipment & gym floor: There has been no meaningful equipment investment in years. Many red vinyl pads are torn and "repaired" with duct tape. A cable machine has been broken for months. Rope attachments are severely frayed, filthy, and leave your hands black with grime. Treadmills are frequently out of service for extended periods. The upstairs turf smells strongly of sweat and dirty socks, appears rarely, if ever, cleaned, and is covered in hair and debris. Environment: Music is whatever the front desk staff feel like playing, blasted through poor ceiling speakers. TVs endlessly replay the same UFC fight and are partially broken, displaying mostly blue and not realistically watchable. Locker room & sauna: Broken and missing locker doors have gone unfixed for over a year. Most lockers remain locked despite signage stating they’re cleared daily. Soap dispensers are often empty. Paper towels were removed, leaving only an extremely weak hand dryer. Showers are hit or miss, often missing a curtain or shower head. Grime buildup is widespread. The sauna has a thick black layer of sweat residue, suggesting it is rarely cleaned. Staff & upkeep: Staff are typically idle at the front desk while obvious maintenance and cleanliness issues go unaddressed. This gym could be excellent again, but would require deep cleaning, basic repairs, and reinvestment in new equipment as even the budget gyms do. As it stands, long-term members are paying the same rates for a steadily declining experience.
