UFC GYM San Dimas

I checked out other gyms but I decided to join this one. The reason why is because the coaches. Before I made my decision to join the gym I watched the coaches teached their classes. I was impressed with two instructors. One is name Vinny and the other is Juan. Don’t get me wrong. I’m sure the other coaches are fine but Vinny and Juan help me decide to join this gym.
Vinny will explain the skills of boxing and kick boxing with great details, which make a student eager to learn more. After you attend his classes you realize how much you improve your fighting skills correctly. Also, you will get a great workout.
What can say about Juan but he is also a great coach. He pushes you hard, help with with your fighting skills, and encourage you to try harder. When you take his classes it make you tougher and improve your physical condition, which make you a better fighter.
If you have the time please try a class with these two instructors. You won’t go wrong.

This review is for Vince Fam the hardest working Muay Thai man. He will have you in tip top shape, push you, correct technique, befriend you and wanting you wanting more. Class act guy and skilled beyond just Muay Thai. I started with Vince almost two years ago and I’m happy I did. If you’re looking for a guy that cares more about the sport than money then this is your guy. Proud to say he’s the reason why I’m not fat. Thanks Vince

This rating is for the employee Heather that works at the UFC GYM and is NOT based on the GYM itself, but as a business owner myself i would like management and or Franchise owner to see this and take action. Anyways i received a text from (909)829−5773 saying «Hey its Heather @UFC GYMs just a friendly reminder thursday is last chance to join for ½ price!
So i thought cool deal let me text back and see what the price comes out too. So after i asked how much would my monthly be with the ½ off she tried to not answer and say just come in and we can set you up. so i told her i am moving at the moment cannot come in but want to know what is the price. she pretty much lied and the ½ off was only for the enrollment fee and would still be 69 a month. Long story short i then asked how much for the basic membership just to lift weights and she replied back «You can sign up with Crunch that membership runs you $ 19.95 a month.
So i guess they only want people who get the full package anyone else they direct to crunch. Not a good business motto.

UFC San Dimas’ Coach Jason has done an OUTSTANDING job with my son, his focus at school has increased two fold. Thanks Coach Jason! UFC Gym San Dimas Rocks!

I just wanted a place to get some exercise. NOPE! The hours did not fit my schedule. When I tried to cancel, I was told we had to return, so a manager could complete it (they aren’t there on weekends). We canceled and received a receipt from the manager, Ben, that we were paid up with $ 0 due. Two weeks later I began getting emails of overdue payments. When i call, Ben proceeded to tell me that when we canceled a payment request had been made to our bank, but that since that time, our bank had withheld the funds. I looked into this. There was no such bank activity. After much discussion with Ben, he admitted that it was his error, but insisted we pay. SO, LIAR and MONEY HUNGRY! BUT ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE! He was incredibly rude once I caught him in the lie. After much discussion and with my entire family as witnesses, he admitted to lying to me. But he insisted I had to pay for his error. Fed up with this gym, I told him I’d pay the $$ if he promised I would never hear from him or any person from his gym again. He promised. Again, LIAR. I have received more than one request for me to patronize a given service for this gym. My recommendation is to skip this place and find one who cares about the patrons and not about the $$ and definitely not one that repeatedly lies to the patrons.

This gym is probably my favorite place to go. I had never found a workout that I genuinely loved doing that gave me the results I wanted until UFC. The variety of classes allows my body’s different muscles to all get a workout as well as teaching me how to defend myself. I not only love the classes offered, but the people that go to this gym and the staff. They get to know you on a personal level and genuinely care about you. I go about 6 times a week and have made some really good friends at this gym, which makes working out way more fun because it’s with somebody I’m comfortable with. The front desk staff, Belen, Mando, Amy, and Marc are always so welcoming and always greet me with a smile. As far as coaches go, I have nothing but great things to say about all of them. Vinny’s boxing and kickboxing classes always push me and what I love about his classes is that he makes them fun but teaches you the proper technique and will go at your pace. He’s an amazing coach and motivator! I love Jason and Ricky’s classes for Muay Thai. The mix between defense and attacking is always nice because the classes are never the same, which makes me want to go more because I will always learn something new and they’ll take the time to help me learn it. Although I’ve only taken a few jiu jitsu classes, Richard is an amazing coach to learn with. I am completely new to it and he knew that but continued to encourage me to come and took the time to help me fully understand the movements. His passion and love of jiu jitsu truly come through when he is teaching his classes.
Overall, I absolutely love this gym and all the people in it and the wide variety of classes and class times making going so much easier!

Let me start off this review by saying that Armando has been the best gym rep since day one. He is truly the reason I joined. One day, I was sitting in the lobby UFC shares with Crunch and Armando approached me and asked how my workout at Crunch was. I told him it was good, then he proceeded to ask me questions about my fitness goals. It so happened that I was actively looking for a fitness bootcamp at the time. When he learned this, he immediately knew that UFC was the gym for me. He began describing the DUT classes to me and gave me a nice tour of the gym. When he was finished, he offered to set me up with Charlie, the boxing instructor, for a free 10min demo of the boxing class. I agreed to his offer and was really glad I did as I enjoyed the boxing class demo! When I was done, Armando invited me back to try a DUT class, which I did. I was sold after that. This gym is exactly what I was looking for and Armando identified that by asking the right questions. Needless to say, I purchased an annual membership without hesitation.
Belen has also been helpful in helping me wrap mine and my guests hands for kickboxing class. She is a total sweetheart!
In closing, UFC is a stellar gym! The staff is awesome, the classes are amazing and the instructors really care about delivering a high quality class each and every time. I absolutely love this place!

I go to UFC for Vinny Familiari’s classes. His boxing classes leave me drenched in sweat and I’m ten times more knowledgable about the technique than when I first arrived. In just a few months I’ve noticed a massive increase in my strength and cardiovascular endurance too. Don’t get me wrong, I had to do the work, but only because Vinny forced me past my limits. He won’t hesitate to correct my planks or my push-​ups even if I tell him he’s being annoying. He cares about proper form.
My kid goes to Jason Childers and Coach Ricky for his Muay Thai classes. They both have instilled a sense of discipline in my son that he’s never had before, as well as a quiet confidence that he can defend himself from potential bullies. I’m grateful for these two men and the patience they have with my sometimes exasperating child.

I actually feel motivated to go and workout here, which I love, as I never used my Planet Fitness membership as often as I should have. I love that there are so many class options (boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu jitsu, circuit training, TRX, etc), as well as class times, so there’s always something for everyone, and even if you don’t feel like doing a certain workout you can always mix it up and do something else! It keeps it fresh, and, like I said, keeps me motivated.
The instructors are all great. They’re all nice, friendly, and seriously kick my butt in every class. I usually go for 2 – 3 classes at a time and leave drenched in sweat every time.
I always wanted to try martial arts classes, and I’m so glad I decided to try a free trial here. I’ve had a membership for a month now and I love it.

Been coming here for a couple months now and I love the atmosphere. Vinny is the best trainer here. He is great with every person attending his classes and is very open to helping you get better. He gives it his all as if he is in the ring and has all the energy to pump you up to finish everything strong. I definitely recommend this gym if you are interested in bettering yourself. Attend one of Vinny’s classes and you always want to come back.

My 100^th check in!
UFC San Dimas is basically my home away from home. I spent a good 4 – 6 hours almost daily there. 2+ hours in the early morning training in Muay Thai, DUT, or Ultimate Heavy Bag. Then I would come again later for another 2 – 3 hours in the evening with my BF for some more Muay Thai and Brazilian JiuJitsu. This is coming from someone who wasted their 24 Hour & Crunch gym pass by going like twice a month before starting here. It’s not your average gym & their tag line «Train Different» holds true. Sadly I am unable to go as often as I now work in Hollywood.
The facility is excellent from the octagon, MMA mats, heavy bags, equipment, and turf area. I always see it being cleaned after class so I know it’s not covered in other dudes sweat.
What I love most though are the coaches! They’ve become friends where I can just chill, talk, and joke around with them. They really do care about their students and making sure they’re doing things properly and most of all safely. I’ve trained with numerous coaches from Liron (even prior to training here), Jason, Marc, Ricky, Richard, & Jex. In just a few short weeks they were able to build up skills and confidence to start competing. The staff is great too, all around helpful and friendly.
Go ahead, check out UFC gym. You won’t regret it & you’ll be in the best shape of your life.

Great place! It is a vary clean gym and that is important to me. The staff and coaches are friendly and really want to excite you into learning. I wouldn’t say the push you, I prefer to say they motivate you and give you a way of reaching your goals. My son is in their jiu jitsu program and looks forward to going and has made some friends. I like the flexibility of having so many classes to choose from. They have more than one class a day every day seven days a week and with my work schedule I NEED that. The best part about having so many classes to choose from is that if one class is to full you can wait for the next.

This place is awesome. I personally go for BJJ some really great coaches that take their time to teach you. A lot of rolling time to practice. The people are friendly and the place is clean. its awesome give it a try.

My 1^st time at the UFC gym in San Dimas and worked out with coach VINNIE he seriously gave me an awesome workout, he’s very professional and teaches the right way to workout… can’t wait to join his class AGAIN…

Right away I’ll come out with my main gripe about this particular UFC spot. It’s way too small.
Coming from UFC Rosemead, my favorite gym ever, this was a shock. This space is probably ¹⁄₁₀ the size of UFC Rosemead. They leased ¼ of the Crunch Fitness gym. Literally. It’s the last of 4 rooms, the other 3 are Crunch, a separate membership. This really shouldn’t carry the main UFC Gym name. Perhaps they should consider an offshoot label like 24 Hour Fitness does with its «sports» etc designating variations in features — this is really something more like a «UFC Dojo».
This location serves mainly as a class space. There are lots of heavy bags etc, and open space for exercises. Don’t get me wrong, while I haven’t attended classes at the San Dimas location yet, I’m sure the classes are as great as at Rosemead and the instructors as patient and proficient. Likewise, the cardio machines are usually free, so this spot is good for that as well.
However, San Dimas really doesn’t have enough facilities for lifting to be your go-​to gym for lifting, unless you’re coming at off peak hours. You can definitely get a complete workout in here. But I usually have to get pretty creative with lifting choices to do it. There are three benches, one of them upright, meaning you’ve probably got a long wait if there are more than two other dudes lifting. There are a few machines. Come here in the late afternoon/​evening and likely a lot of them are taken by parents sitting on them to watch their kids’ class. Who wants to kick them off?
I come here if I didn’t get to go to Rosemead, as an backup basically. I just don’t know that I would come here if it was my main gym spot, for lifting at least.

This gym has everything a member can want and expect. The facility is kept immaculately cleaned (very important), the vibe is super chill and friendly, and the types and times of classes that are offered are great for anyone’s schedule, not to mention the machines and weights that are available at any time during open hours. I never liked the typical gym setting where you’re just on a hamster wheel among the many… it’s like sitting in traffic, but having to work a little harder. BREAK THAT MOLD. After joining UFC there is seriously no going back… for various reasons, which I will list.
— The classes/​sessions offered gets you working out in a group which is much more motivating and fun (and not that Richard Simmons aerobics crap)
— The various classes offered can fit whatever it is you are looking for, either the cardio kick-​boxing, or bit of the cross-​fit type with the daily ultimate challenge, the jiu jitsuis is pretty dope, but my absolute favorite is the Muay Thai. There are other’s available, but those are the top ones.
— After joining you’re pretty much joining a community. There a bunch of regulars who go and it’s great to feel part of a team dynamic where friendships are formed and a support group is built among the other students along with the coaches/​trainers.
— One of the main things really is everyone goes at their own pace, there’s no judgment or pressure or any of that… but the classes are legit. You want to break a hard sweat, earning every drop of it and feel damn good after it — this is definitely the place to do it.
Now, to shine some biased love on Muay Thai… I ended up just trying it because I happen to be there when class was starting and was looking for a slow start with not too much cardio. Coach Jason Childers, is the coolest dude around and is extremely knowledgeable in the sport having been a professional champion fighter. You have coaches who are cool and can push their students and make it fun and all that, but Coach Jason does all of that plus he has a real genuine and invaluable passion to his teaching technique. He cares deeply about the «art» of it all and his enthusiasm about it makes every training session much more than just a «work out» it’s almost like an experience. You’re really learning a skill set (not just doing movements for the sake of moving) with all it’s layers and depth with the correct form and balance and weight distribution and motion. None of which can be learned or fully appreciated all at once and that’s the best part… it’s a progressive experience. Of course, you could take the class just for the sake of breaking a sweat and that option is there, again it’s at your own pace… but if you’re looking to dive into something that requires focus and heart, Muay Thai with Jason (and Coach Ricky is awesome and is actively involved in the training sessions) at San Dimas is the place. I cannot rave about it enough… you can find great gyms anywhere, but the coaches and trainers is what makes it all gold — it will change your life (if you want and allow it to) been doing it for 3 months now, learned so much with still much more to learn — i’m addicted :)

Workout classes are amazing! and coaches are too. My 13 year old son and I love this gym, would not go anywhere else.

My kids love this place. I have my 8 & 12 year olds enrolled and they are able to attend any and all classes for their age categories. The trainers are really nice and great with kids. The boys are always pumped up for it. The music is great to keep you pumped and ready to hit it hard. I highly recommend enrolling your kids, it’s worth every penny and money well spent. Parking is always a breeze and Saturday mornings are the best because you’re not dealing with crowds.

This place is so awesome! Don’t know how they do it? Unlimited BJJ, Kick Boxing MMA classes for $ 69 a month! Love it !!! and they have all kinds of equipment like gym, with weights cardio, turf, an Octagon! Mats and Bags.
Great instructors as well my wife and 12 year old are having a blast!
Thanks UFC /​CRUNCH for coming to SD!

I’ve trained at Millenia MMA, UFC Long Beach, UFC Fullerton, & UFC Rosemead. By far, Jason Childers is the best Muay Thai coach I’ve ever had.
There are 3 main points that makes Jason better:
* He fixes small details that matter. I used to flare out my arms when punching. On day one, Jason fixed that.
* He was a Muay Thai Champ at one point. He teaches us combos that he used to become a champ.
* Approachable & Friendly. You can tell Jason has a passion for teaching. He is 100% engaged with this students and always excited to teach us. When I trained at the UFC Rosemead, those coaches were cold & apathetic.
Jason focuses on soft & calm training, which is better for learning technique. When I was the UFC Fullerton, the Muay Thai coaches would beat the crap out of the students. Nothing even close happens at UFC San Dimas.
Overall I would rate Jason a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Many of the fighters from other gyms have followed him to UFC San Dimas, and for good reason. I was nervous about signing up for the gym before it opened, but now I’m completely happy. It was worth the money to pay for a year in advance.
