UFC GYM Edgewater

Good workout but pricey and not enough one-​on-​one.

After joining with a great rate and going to a few classes my friends and I loved it. The bathrooms were a bit small but the facility was clean and the staff was very very nice.
It all fell apart when I moved out of the location and after a YR past my membership I simply had to cancel in December. Walked in and filled out a few forms to cancel my membership.
Their out of state billing department is so disjointed from the parent company that its pathetic. I received a call in January from their 3^rd party billing dept stating my card was declined and an activation and delinquent fee was required to recancel my membership ?!? None of my question could be answered.
Did you get my cancelation notice? Do you have any record of my cancellation? Can you conference in the Edgewater location manager ?
I don’t want to deal with the hassle so i just pay the fee and January month late fee etc.
Called the gym again and confirmed that my membership was cancelled and then Feb, March, April come around and i’m still being charged !!! I now have to dispute the charges w/​my AMEX and sure enough billing issues again with threats of being reported to the credit bureau.
I’m still dealing with this 4months later and still hoping they get it right. I’d give it a lower rating but a gym shouldn’t be penalized for there billing incompetence.
I’ve already paid for membership fees after my cancelation !! how much more $$ do you want from me !

Update: Thank you for showing concern regarding the issues I faced. I appreciate the response, the phone call and the offers. I still won’t accept going back out of principle but I thank you for showing concern.
Past post:
Horrible experience at the Hoboken location, I called the Edgewater location to handle the situation since I signed up there. I was reassured that things would be handled properly. I was even offered 3 free months as to make up for the way in which I was treated at the Hoboken location. Offer that I didn’t accept. I thanked them but I said there was no way I was going back to that place. An email confirming the cancellation of my membership was sent to me. I sat down to check expenses account and I kept coming short. I went to look into each transaction to find that they continued to charge my account for the following 3 months. The ones they offered for free!!!
I’m now waiting for this to be corrected. I was told that it was a mistake, but after being lied to before. I’d rather wait to see how they would credit my account.
Unbelievable!!!

meets all my needs. group classes, weights, clean, and kid friendly was a requirement. they had multiple kid classes. i was looking for group training and they offered numerous classes everyday except weekends where it’s only morning. mornings are fine for weekends so you get your workout in and have the day to do your stuff. the price point is right. it’s not the $ 30/​mo-​$ 40/​mo typical gym where you get random people. with the slightly higher price tag, you filter out the occational gym-​goers and are left with people who take it a little more seriously. you’re surrounded with people who have more energy and bring more energy to the classes getting you pumped up while doing the class. The staff is helpful and approachable. I can’t wait for the warmer weather when they start having the outdoor classes. sometimes we’d go just to spend 20 minutes hitting the heavy bags. pleanty of parking.

I’ve been to several gyms in the last few years and can easily say that UFC is the best by a long mile — it’s new, clean and has super friendly staff and very knowledgeable instructors. All the classes are different from each other and are more holistic from a fitness perspective working the core, improving flexibility and stamina, improving cardio capacity, adding lean muscle while at the same time helping in fat loss. This is very different from other gyms in the area like Orange Theory which is basically a fancy treadmill session.
I do boxing (Godeyvio, Marvin), Kickboxing (Marvin) and Matrx (Caesar) and all of them are simply awesome. Would strongly suggest doing the classes from these instructors as they make their classes fun and make sure that you get personalized attention and your technique doesn’t go for a toss.

clean facility and well equipped. i have been going to ufc for about 6 months now. the instructors are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. i had zero experience with boxing prior to ufc. when you take a class, the instructors will show you different punch combos and offer you ways to improve your form. how to throw a punch, how to use more of your body. it’s never embarrassing and it’s never to put you on the spot. it’s always encouraging and constructive. form is so important. bad form can result in injury. being new to boxing and beginning to engage parts of my body that i had never before, i got some very minor injuries. pain in my wrist, tennis elbow, pain in my deltoid (upper outside part of arm). the instructors offer advice for home remedies. they know their stuff. i’m all good now.
there are so many heavy bags, so even when a class is in session, there are still available heavy bags if you wanted to do your own thing. there are also speed bags and a double end bag. i am more interested in boxing and they offer a bunch of classes with different instructors who each have their own styles. i like all of their styles and it’s an easy way to change up your regimen a little. they also offer sparring in their advanced classes.
gloves and wraps are available if you want to borrow and they show you how to wrap your hands. i suggest getting your own gear because they tend to smell funky. there’s a modell’s down river road but wraps and gloves are also sold on site.
they also have weight training equipment and cardio machines if you aren’t interested in the classes.
music is usually edm, but i wish they’d play rap sometimes. i love this place. i love boxing. it’s so much better than running.

I signed up for this gym in January because I realized that I wasn’t pushing myself nearly hard enough at LA Fitness. I love their classes; they are fun and challenging. Their instructors are very personable and encouraging. I was a little intimidated when I first tried it because everyone is in such great shape but I quickly realized that everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace. My endurance has gotten much better! I try to go at least 3 – 4 times per week.
The membership is a little pricier than I am used to paying at a regular gym but I think it’s worth it. Every time I go, I get a great workout and leave feeling good about myself.

Very well run and organized. You’d think that the gym is overly UFC, but it isn’t. Instructors know their stuff. They do a good job of making sure you know what your doing n keeping up. The variety of classes don’t allow you to get bored.
They have added new classes and I am excited to get back in the gym. Good hours, great classes and fantastic facility. Keep up the good work guys.

Before coming in to see this gym, I was looking to find something that would give me a physical challenge. I played sports practically my whole life, and always had that motivational person behind me to give me that extra push (pause). After my sports phase ran out, I would sign up to a handleful of gyms and I would go at my own pace, not keeping my heart rate up. So eventually, I decided to drop in with my girlfriend to see how this gym looks like, and boy what a beautiful facility it is. Spacious, lots and lots of heavy bags, ropes, kettle bells, exercise balls, jump rope, pull up bars, sparring pads, speed bags, weight machines, dumbbells, bench press, even an actual size Octagon (btw all new equipment). Even with all its variety, I was still skeptical, worried that it was a gym with heavy bags. But after deliberation, I decided I would join, its been two weeks ago since then and couldn’t be happier with my decision. They gave me free boxing gloves upon signing, and waived enrollment fees (I came in pre grand opening) They also have a large schedule of instructional classes which are really fun and most of all CHALLENGING. I’ve taken on Kickboxing (Jon) and Boxing (Cezar) and open to taking Jujitsu if I want to fit it my schedule. These instructors are über knowledgeable and want to bring out the best in you, so they are making sure you re in correct form while you are hitting the bag so that you re not in danger of hurting yourself. I feel very much satisfied and looking forward to more progress
