This gym is awesome! The classes are fantastic because the trainers are knowledgeable and really push you. Everyone who works here is professional and friendly. Ive never been the type to enjoy the gym until my first class here. I highly recommend this gym.

Highly recommend this place! I started going a few months ago, and Tracy, the manager was very flexible at accommodating me for a short term membership since I only had 1month left in the states before I moved. Loved the instructors. The workouts are awesome, fun and different every day. I’m visiting for a few days and it’s a must to stop by. I miss this place so much, haven’t been able to find anything like it. Thanks to all the staff of UFC, you guys are great!!!! I’d give you more than 5 stars if I could!

Great place to train. I’ve been looking for a great affordable gym to train and workout in. It’s very affordable and great coaches that take their time to make sure your form and technique is good. The atmosphere is welcoming. Everyone pushes everyone to do better and push themselves. I’ve been to four different gyms and none compare to the help or the one on one that I get here! I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out!

I really like this gym. I have belonged to this gym for about 2 years and have lost about 60 pounds. Its also really affordable. All the coaches are really nice. The manager always greets you with a smile on her face.

The best workout around..., ...really helps my conditioning, All of the instruction have real world experience in their boxing, MMA, martial arts, and fitness disciplines which really helps me achieve my personal fitness goals. I love that there are many different classes to choice from and the instructors in each class constantly change the routines so the participants dont get bored and the body is constantly challenged. Keep up the good workout.

I’ve been going here for the past 4 years and. Despite a name or management change this has always been my go to gym for a great cardio workout or a quick gym session with free weights. I’ve worked with every trainer in either a group setting or individually and can say they only employ the best of the best. Highly recommend attending this gym no matter your skill set.

UFC Gym Alexandria is the place to be if you want to switch up your workouts or train for mixed martial arts or simply learn techniques that may one day come in handy. No matter if you can attend everyday or once a week, theres never a bad day. Judgement free zone!

I’ve been going to this UFC Gym for years. It’s close to home, the instructors (eg Tammy, Blue, Damian and Yusuf), and manager (Tracy) continue to make this gym a great place to get a true full body workout! Thanks for all you guys do!

What a great gym! I’ve been taking classes at the UFC Gym in Alexandria for just over a year and absolutely love the work outs. It’s an incredible way to let off some steam, burn calories & build muscle. The classes are an hour long and a have good mix of bag work (coach calls out combos) and h.i.t. calisthenics. Each person works out at their own heavy bag, which is great for moving at my own pace! I mostly take classes with Damien (boxing) and James (kickboxing) but all of the coaches are friendly and willing to help/answer questions. Overall a great workout & gym - I recommend everyone try it!

The Muay Thai in that gym is an excellent twist. I didnt expect it at first but I was instantly hooked! I definitely give it a A++++ and the gym itself is in a very accessible location. I do my warm up jog over from the Braddock metro station which is 0.4 miles away. I highly recommend taking a look at the Muay Thai on Wednesdays from 630-730pm.

Heres what you get at the UFC gym -- in shape if you go. The workouts are great. Reviewers complained about the price. It is less than half the price of a cross fit gym and less expensive than many normal gyms in DC.Been going for 6 months and not once has an instructor been late (as one reviewer put it).Put simply, its reasonably priced and if you show up a few times a week you will get in crazy good shape with fun and intense workouts. They will help you if you are new and will guide you through everything. The workouts are good for guys and girls both.Gotta be honest, Im blown away by some of the ratings on here.

Man, this place is great. I just went in for a trial session and the NEW Manager made my experience so amazing! No pressure, really inviting and friendly and the instructor I worked with was motivating. Got a really good workout in, and Im excited to start doing some lifting and MMA training here!

Friendly staff and coaches, multiple programs to choose from and fun members to train with in the “technique” classes. No egos there, just train hard and challenge yourself to be the best you.Strong foundational knowledge in their Muay Thai Techniques Class. The explanation of realistic options of the technique in sport and street is bar none.There are multiple coaches training and helping in that class so if you have no experience, this is the perfect class to get real and authentic Thai Boxing Training.Rates at this gym are very reasonable, especially given the expertise of all the coaches. If you follow them on Instagram, you can see some of their coaches train and drill the students.I encourage you to come on in and try a class out, you won’t be disappointed!

First and most of all I do love the Muay Thai class on Wednesdays, Ive never try anything like this before and I love it! Complete workout, self-defense, fun and they know what theyre teaching!I had visited other UFC gym before but none are like this one here in Alexandria, friendly and professional staff! Wish the gym could have the Muay Thai class more often!

This gym has some positives, but when you pay money to go to a particular gym for classes, and the instructors are routinely late, it is an absolute waste of time. I suppose this is a good gym for a high school kid or someone else with all the time in the world on their hands, but for a working professional, the time wastage factor is a bit infuriating. Couple that with the fact that all they have is classes, and theres no legitimate gym you can use if you show up on time to a class and the instructor is not there, and youd be better off just hitting the closest pull up bar to your house, doing some calisthenics, and getting a better workout in a third of the time.

Love this gym. I’ve been taking classes at the UFC Gym in Alexandria for a while now and absolutely love it. While I mainly take the boxing classes with Damian, their kickboxing, dut, mma, muay thai, and bjj classes are also great. Really cant go wrong with any of the classes. More importantly the coaches get to know the members and are always willing to give you a modified movement if you are not able to do a specific technique or move. The personal training offered is also great.As a female, coming to a boxing/mma gym you would think it would be a bit intimidating...NOT HERE! Highly recommend it.

UFC Gym started a Muay Thai techniques class taught by the coaches of TAG Muay Thai. Awesome time with the TAG coaches and Kru Chris! The TAG coaches have a depth of knowledge in the art of authentic Muay Thai!All the TAG coaches have a direct approach with students, so you know where you stand with them. There’s no guessing in what they actually meant when they’re explaining how things should be done for maximum effect.The new program’s curriculum is logical, well thought out and organized.Definitely progresses naturally, so a highly recommend for students who have zero experience to begin with. Experienced students will fall in and won’t feel bored either, as students are paired with someone of the same or similar skill level. The team of coaches follow in their footsteps and are all very personable and work well with all skill levels.Class equipment is provided and personal equipment, like gloves, is high quality and available for a reasonable price. Loaners are also available from the UFC Gym staff.

This UFC gym has programs for everyone! Theyve recently started a Muay Thai program (in conjuction with TAG Muay Thai) that I think is absolutely excellent! I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in learning Muay Thai/kickboxing.

Pleasantly surprised with this gym’s Muay Thai program. The instructor “Kru” Chris Aboy of TAG Muay doesn’t sugar coat it. Learned so much already with just a few visits. I’m hooked!

Avoid this novelty scam or theyll keep taking money from your account after you cancel until you have the bank step in all the while your calls, emails and walk-in conversations are ignored and NEVER acted upon. They stole $400 out of my checking account for months after I cancelled after and injury and while being across the country. I had to cancel and 3 different times; in writing, in person, & on the phone to make sure I was cancelled but even though I was lied to the company kept taking money from my account. The manager kept saying he didnt know the system so I had to wait until the stars aligned for me to come back in and meet with the only person who could help but he never shared her name just calling her she. Its been a year and no refund. The only way I could stop them was to lie to my bank and say my card was lost so I got a new card. After my new card I kept getting text messages to my phone that my membership fee was due every month and couldnt get it to stop until I got a new phone number.

If you dont show your prices then you know everyone is on different contracts. This is a gym to workout. The jits class looked good along with the judo. I wouldnt class this as an mma gym though. Probably great for getting fit but I dont think Id use it for a gym to get in fighting condition both technique wise or fitness wise. Was surprised not to see lots of people wearing tap out gear but then again Im guessing its a pricy gym to go to.

I had to cancel my membership due to work hours and travel. They continued charging my credit card from April through September. I exchanged upwards of 25 emails and phone calls with their Manager, Nick, and while the refunds eventually came in 2-3 months time, my card was continuously charged.I was also promised a refund for my private lessons. After several months of emailing them, theirpromises that the regional office approved the refund, and their promises that the funds would bereleased shortly, their manager Nick left the company. The new management refused to issue therefund and would only give me credits for more lessons, despite the fact I had since moved to an area without UFC gyms, and would have to pay for new membership to use the lessons anyway.They tried to take over $800 from me, and got away with a little over $200. I’m not happy.

I have been going to UFC Alexandria for just under a year and it has completely transformed my fitness routine, and what I consider a good work-out. I used to do a lot of Pilates and barre classes, but find that they just dont cut it now. I usually go to the hour long boxing classes, which is a mix of intense cardio and boxing… You feel completely exhausted afterwards but it is 100% worth it. My endurance is outrageously up; I took hot yoga class the other day and while at the end everyone was exhausted and panting, I felt like it was just a warm-up. My arm muscles look incredible.. i mean they do, sorry. AND i have convinced at least 10 people; men and women, to get on the boxing train.I have recommended Damians class in particular to so many people and they all have their own gloves and go religiously. They are all in amazing shape, as am I!I even tried the DC UFC, near my house, but it was not as intense and challenging, so drive to alexandria to take classes.The trainers are incredible! My favorite instructor is Damian, his classes kick your butt and get you in amazing shape. All of the instructors are amazing and the Manager, Nick, is super helpful!I literally cannot recommend the ALEXANDRIA location any higher. Go! And get ready to get in amazing shape!
