This is the best gym I’ve been to. They matched my previous gym membership and I got an amazing deal. Even if it were regular price, I would go here again. I moved neighborhoods and am too far away to comfortably commute here, but I wish there was one near me.The equipment is great, there is ample space throughout the floor, the hours are reasonable, and the staff are friendly and inviting. It’s a very attractive looking gym too in a great location in Wrigleyville. The average person here is pretty physically fit but it doesn’t feel uncomfortable if you’re new to the gym scene. It really does feel comfortable to be at as opposed to some other gyms I’ve been to.Andrew is the manager and has been great. Awesome guy and is hospitable. The trainers are nice as well and have various backgrounds in fitness and health and can help with whatever your health goals are. I really wish I could continue going here! I’d recommend this to anyone.
UFC WRIGLEYVILLE GYM the best gym I have ever visited. Large, clean spacious halls, always clean fitness equipment, very friendly staff. Cozy, friendly atmosphere. The coaching staff is highly professional. They are always ready to help at the first call. I went there with pleasure. It is a pity that I had to leave for another city. Good luck to you guys from the UFC.
I was a member here for a year before I had to move out of the neighborhood. The facility has a lot of great equipment and cool staff. I wouldnt go to any other gym in the area.
UFC is the best gym I have ever belonged to. Top quality equipment, always clean, great staff, and never overcrowded. All for a VERY reasonable price. Unfortunately I had to cancel my membership today because Im moving neighborhoods (where there is no UFC gym nearby) and,Andrew took the time to recommend/discuss other gyms in my new area, and even is using a personal reference for the manager of a gym he recommends to help me out. If you are considering UFC Wrigleyville, do not hesitate - you wont find another one as great as this.
Really enjoying my time here! The equipment, the space, the free 2hr validated parking! Love it all, and always very clean. Used the personal training here for about 6 months as well, Harrison/Andrew have been amazing and super supportive. Don’t just workout, love where you workout and get here ASAP!
Love this gym from day one! Andrew is amazing, professional and has such a great personality. He administered my first assessment for personal training sessions and I was sold.My personal training sessions were with David Z, another amazing, professional with a funny and great personality. At 53, I was very hesitant about training, however David eased my fears by starting me out at a slow but steady pace. And although I gave David a hard time once or twice due to the routine, he stayed the course, corrected my form when needed and ALWAYS kept the workouts interesting. By doing so, I began seeing results soon after my sessions began.I will miss this gym and those two as I am relocating soon, but wanted to take a moment and give the much deserved credit for my increased knowledge of proper form to reduce injury risk and the importance of having a great trainer.
Working out at UFC on Clark has been a great find for me. I have been taking the gym and my health more seriously the past 3 years and before seeing a trainer, Cara S. was friendly, inviting, and over all great person to talk to. I enjoy all my sessions and the 120% motivation and strategy Cara puts to achieve my goals. I’ve gained so much confidence and strength seeing Cara for over a year now. I recommend someone personable and dedicated like Cara and the UFC gym all the time!
I’ve been a member at this gym for several weeks. In that time I’ve been working with one of the gym’s trainers, Sam, and have attended a few of their group classes. Thus far I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. Sam has been awesome to work with - he’s a great teacher and motivator. The gym itself is very spacious and has great facilities. Would definitely recommend this location.
Good yearly price with the corporate discount, they try to have a membership capacity which doesnt allow this gym to ever really be crowded. Place is really clean, plenty of spray bottles and paper towels. Weights are always re-racked so I dont ever hunt down any weights like at other gyms Ive been to. Staff is super friendly and professional, keep up the great work!
UFC gym Wrigleyville is the best gym I’ve ever been apart of. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. My former personal trainer, Gill was amazing and really challenged me during our sessions. I really saw results and have enjoyed working out at this gym! Highly recommend!
UFC gym is a great gym with tons of classes for everyone. Always was clean and staff was welcoming.
Chicagos finest! Ive been to so many gyms, and this one is hands down one of the best! Clean space, friendly staff, and well maintained machines/weight stations. If you live in Lakeview, check this place out.
Love this gym! Awesome space, very clean. Tons fo equipment and never crowded even at what would be “peak gym times.” Super spread out so feels safe. Special shout out to Jessica who was awesome in helping me get set up with a membership and other services. She was very kind, helpful, and professional.
Fantastic gym with fantastic staff. The facilities are extremely clean, huge variety in machines and equipment, and great classes! I’ve had a great experience at UFC Wrigley and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality gym.
I have been training with Coach Sam for 2 months now. He is the consumate professional who is always flexible with his time and gives me a rigorous workout, even when I arrive late (Apologies coach)! I highly recommend training at UFC and Coach Sam to help each your fitness goals!
Incredible staff and equipment! Would recommend to anyone!
Best gym in Chicago! Andrew does a great job running the place and welcomes all fitness levels. From just starting out to trying some of their challenging classes I definitely recommend checking this gym out!
Absolutely love this gym. Just about all the workout equipment you could want or need, as well as incredible classes. Definitely would recommend
Just joined, but so far so good! Newer place, equipment is nice and clean (and working). Staff is friendly. Lots of different classes to take.
Cara was so great to work with. We accomplished a lot that I wanted and she was so supportive and positive through the process. Would highly recommend working with her!
This place is insanely nice...has everything you need and then some. Just an awesome gym. Cant recommend highly enough...
Best gym in wrigleyville by far! Such nice equipment, friendly staff and lots of options for classes! Masks are optional now with new guidelines and I love that too! The vibe and ambiance is the best out of al the comparable choices in the area. And good pricing and deals!
Clean facility, new equipment, and the employees are truly great- especially Rachel at the front, who is always smiling at 5am!
This place is more than a gym, its a community !There is something for everyone and the staff is knowledgeable and kind. The equipment is never-ending and the facilities are top notch
Friendly & helpful staff and great atmosphere, all of the equipment is brand new and the place is spotless! If you live in the area this is THE place to workout!
Great equipment, clean macines with a flexible schedule in a high traffic area. See my man Andrew, hell get you set up and ready to meet your health goals..-good Covid protocols in place as well.
Great staff, location, very clean and lots of open space to work out and move around. Love this place.
This is by far the best gym I’ve ever been to. The staff is not only professional, but welcoming.I’m always shocked with how clean the place is and how respectful the members are of the space. Everyone wipes equipment down and the staff is continuously cleaning.Most of the trainers are top notch, so much so that I ended up hiring one. I’ve never felt the gyms I’ve been to before actually cared about the people who come in. This place does. If you’re looking for a better gym experience, you should try this place out.
Very clean and friendly staff. Staff is small so very personable. They work with your fitness goals and what you can afford. Andrew is great and has been very helpful with me. Just started training with Cara and she is amazing! I switched here from xsport looking for a new gym. Their equipment is top notch, and I never feel like something is unavailable for me!
One of the cleanest gyms in the Chicago area & most professional staff. When you walk in you are always greeted by a friendly fun staff & trainers. The cleaning staff is always cleaning & making sure things are safe. The trainers all seem very knowledgeable & Alex answered the few questions I had about some exercises. Thanks everyone. Glad to be apart of this team!
This gym is awesome!! Great equipment clean gym. Friendly staff. My trainer who is Alex is great he really gives me a great workout!! I’m very satisfied with my progress that I am making. Thanks to all his great training. I really recommend this gym to my friends and family!
Facility is very clean. The staff are friendly. The equipment works and they have a good sauna ☺
Great gym overall and would highly recommend Robbie as a personal trainer. Very professional and easy going, yet pushes you to do your best. I’m not one to work with personal trainers, but after a session with him I signed up for more. Definitely worth it! 🥊
If I could rate this 4.5 stars I would.I never actually attended this gym, COVID got in the way.But the staff there has been very accommodating and helpful for helping me sort out payment and cancellation issues. They were prompt and very helpful.
This management is absolutely terrible and follows awful COVID safety for so many reasons. I was not going in person because of COVID for part of the winter. In January I felt comfortable going back, and the first time I walk in the door, the manager of this location is sitting at the front desk with no mask, talking to another employee with no mask. When they see me walk in and come within 6 feet of them (which is required to even enter the gym), they do not pull up their masks. They did not cover up until I said something, and I was met with sass. I left, called, and cancelled my membership on the spot.Then came the issue of my refund for the untouched personal training package I had purchased. During the time I was not going to the gym, my coach, Remy, was initially fired and then moved to the Yorktown location because of improper record keeping. For a number of clients, he put down that he saw them even though their sessions had been rescheduled, over charging them. First I had to battle for a refund at all, given that the package was untouched and they violated safety mandates. Then they informed me that Remy logged that I used 3 of the sessions in my package, which I did not. They had been scheduled but cancelled, with agreement from him I would not be charged, because I was postponing going to the gym for COVID purposes. Without any proof on my end that I did not attend, they would not refund those sessions, even though they have caught Remy doing this in the past.It took THREE MONTHS from the time I was confirmed that I would receive a refund to the time that a check was in the mail. Michael was very unpleasant to work with. I had to call him regularly for updates. He would tell me that he would have something for me on a certain date and I would call him days later having received nothing from him, just for him to still have nothing. One time he went so far as to promise and gave me his word something would be done, and SURPRISE, it was not. He kept wanting me to give him credit for helping me with a refund that he did not have to give, but when you violate COVID safety and show blatant disregard for spreading the virus, you owe me a refund no exceptions. You do not get a pat on the back for that.
I was a member of the UFC Gym before it moved locations. Once the new one opened during the pandemic I never once worked out at the gym as my membership was on pause. I decided to ultimately cancel, but during the time my account was paused, I got charged 4 different months... When I canceled in person at the gym I was told I would receive a refund within 7-10 business days. I never received a refund and I even contacted the GM, he acknowledged he got my message, and still never followed up! I am down about $276 for never even working out there.
An overall amazing gym! The staff is always friendly, and the trainers are very knowledgeable. The equipment is always in good shape and clean. They offer a nice range of classes, and you can’t beat the price! Highly recommend!
Got a question, Im really into MMA and Im like really forward to practice or workout, But what age can you enter im 16
I dont write a lot of reviews but thought in this case I needed to.I wanted to send in a review on Gill a personal trainer at UFC GYM Wrigleyville.Gill takes the time to ask questions regarding ones personal goals and to understand ones life style as to create custom plans and set goals to work with ones lifestyle.She is extremely knowledgeable on lifting techniques and and makes sure she understands her clients abilities on what they can and can not do. If there is something that a client cant do, she takes the time time to understand why and makes the necessary changes to help her clients progress.I have had trainers over the years but really enjoy my workouts with Gil. Out of all the other trainers has helped me progress with my goals under her training. She is tough and truly understands her clients.
Management & the entire staff look out for each and every member. They enforce the mask rule every day as well to make it a safe environment. Join this gym if you are looking for a fun, safe place!
Alex, one of the managers has been very helpful. He constantly asks if I need any help & how I like it so far at the gym. This gym is about family. Thanks for making my experience great so far!
Hands down best facility I’ve ever trained at. All the trainers are knowledgeable & management have been very helpful. Staff has made it a safe environment especially through covid!
I just had a great tour and meeting today with Mike and Gill from UFC-WrigleyGill gave a wonderful tour, she has great energy and fun! I’m so excited to work with her and reach my goals!Mike was very helpful by giving me all the information I needed to get started and he gave me a body composition analysis which was wonderful to see that I’m very in reach with my goals.So excited to work with these two, I definitely recommend to talk to them if you would like to get started! :)
I canceled in May before this place ever even opened and was still charged REPEATEDLY despite having proof I canceled. It is now October and I STILL get texts and emails that I owe them money. It might be a fine facility, I never actually got a chance to set foot in it, but their shady business practices have forever turned me off from any of their gyms. Buyer beware for sure.
New facility is great. Makes me forgive them for the delay in opening and charging me when it wasn’t open yet. My gripe is with one of the trainers sitting and actually talking on the phone in the middle of one his sessions. As I, somebody who’s been in the fitness industry for years training, see this, it’s embarrassing and nobody should be paying any money towards him. All the other trainers look great so far. But yes, if you’re going to work with 1 on 1 trainers, I suggest watching them before hand. Get that guy out of here. You should not be paying an hour for somebodies time for them to be looking on their phone or relaxing taking it easy. Classes look well ran as well. I’ll be doing my first one next week.
Alex, Alex D., & Ashley have been absolutely amazing from the moment I stepped in. New equipment and very clean! Would recommend to anyone who is interested in losing a few pounds, learning a martial art or in need of physical therapy/personal training to sign up for this gym asap! I would give more than 5 stars if I had the option!!
Open concept gym with no tight spaces. All new equipment. Ability to social distance at all times and not feel like Im on top of someone. Mgmt, staff and my personal trainer have been great always.Its tough for any business trying to stay/keep open in these unpredictable times. But these guys have done an amazing job adapting to the situation and their best at keeping with all the citys guidelines. It was definitely an unfortunate situation with all the construction and months of opening delays. The place it worth waiting for in the end.
Had to cancel before the gym actually opened because I moved away and never got a refund despite it being in the signed agreement. I guess the gym is really nice but the management is not professional at all. Shady business, better stay away.
I know many Chicagoans value and search out my opinion of restaurants, gyms, and what not. UFC is pretty legit. I haven’t had enough time to rate the gym goers and their etiquette but can say I appreciate the options of equipment and cleanliness of the facility. I also love the trainers/staff (Tony, Julian, and Jose... they are amazing and the real reason I came here). Added bonus and new obsession is their normatec recovery system. Supposedly they will be getting other recovery systems such as a cryobooth. Hello 2021- I’ll be coming in as an upgraded 2.0 version of my already amazing self. Be there (UFC Wrigley) or be square.
Alex is a great trainer & their overall training staff is the best in the Chicagoland area. Thanks Alex.
I used to train with Alex awhile back then. Go to him if you need help & the staff is great as well. Thanks Alex & UFC GYM WRIGLEYVILLE!
Alex, the Fitness Director has made a positive impact on my life when it came to training. He knows how to modify exercises, as well as find a way to get you to reach your goals!
Joined this gym in October before it opened which was supposed to be in December/January. The gym didnt open until July. In the meanwhile I took a job out of state and cancelled the membership - or tried to. Called to cancel, they told me I needed to send a text - which seemed shady - but I did send several. Initially got a response, but then nothing. Come July I was charged for the month. Asked for a refund - through text - they said theyd submit it right away - and it would take 10 days. OK, Whatever. Month later still no refund and just BS texts about their system having issues. Shady as hell! Stay away!
Andrew, Alex & Tuna have made my experience great so far. Thank you guys. UFC WRIGLEYVILLE ROCKS!
I trained with Rick before he decided to work at the UFC gym. Hes the go-to guy for fitness advice if theres anything you want to/need to help with fitness goals.
If your looking to invest in yourself and really make a change then I would highly recommend Alex Driscoll. He listened closely to what my personal goals were and helped me achieve them. He designed a program that fit me personally. Ive never seen a trainer dedicate so much time to their clients!
I dont even know where to begin. My boyfriend and I purchased the prepaid private boxing/coaching sessions with UFC gym with the intention of having 12 sessions, once per week for 3 months. We each paid $780 for our sessions, which felt like a lot, but seemed worth it. After about 6 weeks of sessions, with 6 left, we moved to a new apartment because our lease was up at our original place. So a week before our move, we contacted UFC gym and asked if we could move our training session to a later hour or a more convenient date. Seems simple enough, right? A week passed, we were texted by our coach that he is still figuring out a new time. Another 2 weeks later, and nothing. Today, after calling them and finally getting a response, I asked for a refund for any lost sessions. The Manager of UFC Gym then offered a free session instead. So I informed him I would only continue if we were given at least information on how we can continue our sessions with our original coach. He then told us he could offer us a new coach. That UFC Gym can assign new coaches in the case the original one didnt work out. I asked why they didnt just assign us a new coach 3 weeks ago or even have us meet with a new coach and create a new plan. That now, after missing the opportunity for consistent sessions, why they didnt inform us of this option when we originally asked? The contract seems to be worded very specifically, that its up to the customer to reschedule sessions, that they reserve the right to reassign a new coach, and that there could only be a refund if there is interrupted service involving a national emergency or anything of that sort. It doesnt, however, acknowledge the gyms failure and neglect to communicate with us as we attempted to create a new schedule, to figure something out. Keep in mind, there is also the COVID-19 pandemic going on, and Chicago sent out a stay at home advisory during this time. UFC Gym didnt offer anything to customers in regards to the new city ordinances. Nothing happened. Therefore, I am leaving a bad review because I feel that UFC Gym has been very neglectful to their clients and customers. They seem to be very quick to take someones money, to create contracts that leave little to no disclosure on what we are getting into, and little to no option to refund in the case of neglect on their part to perform a service as promised, or even in the case of a pandemic/stay at home ordinance. We feel completely scammed. Still havent received information for a new schedule, no resolution, no option for cancelling due to COVID either. Its all a trap.
This gym is an amazing gym with plenty of space and machines for everyone. I had an amazing workout with my trainer Gill Martinelli who is just awesome with amazing energy and a great workout plan. I highly suggest this gym this place and the staff are top-notch!
Alex, the Assistant Fitness Director at UFC Wrigley, is a great trainer and is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle- he is truly one of the best!
The gym had a great atmosphere as soon as you walked in and I had a great workout with the help of my trainer Gill Martinelli who made my first time there a great one. This place is perfect if you love having intense workouts so I highly suggest it!!
The BEST!! My friend/trainer Alex Davila helped me lose over 40lbs permanently, thought me how to build my body, and even thought me the ins and out of Muay Thai/kickboxing. I’ve never had such a person help me chance my life. He helped me feel confident and have me the courage to try new stuff. He’s a great lot charismatic yet serious guys. Highly recommend him.
This is by FAR my favorite gym
Great vibe, company and equipment. Doesnt get any better than this.
Highly recommend for anyone who is serious about the gym!
Horrible customer service. They were supposed to open this gym in December but they are still not open. They barely had any work done around March. They just kept throwing excuses at us. I kept trying to cancel my membership but would not receive a response. When I finally cancelled they denied me a refund even though the gym is still not open.
I belong to this gym (9 mts now) and I have nothing but good things to say. Reasonable monthly rate, friendly staff and instructors and boxing/kickboxing classes are super fun! My shirts are always wet with sweat! That’s when you know the workouts are good.I was a member of I Love Kickboxing (in NYC), Title Boxing (Allentown, PA), and while I enjoyed both clubs. This by far is my favorite gym, bc there is no pressure to sign up and (while it looks intimidating) the staff and gym members are super humble. Instructors are former boxers, kick-boxers or are still competing. The gym is conducive to learning and growing for all. No negativity here.Great for various levels (beginner to advance). You can punch/kick bags, practice blocking and hitting with other students, or book one on one classes with trainers(separate fee).Come in for a free first session.One thing I do wish they had was a female boxing/KB trainer.
This place is perfect for people looking for a classic gym with a ton of machines, a ton of free weights, and little to no crowds.
A great place to work out. Prices are good, staff is great. Youll get in shape quick.
I went to this boxing gym from Aug 2017 until March 2018. Had a great experience - all the coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and pushed you to your limit. Unfortunately I moved from the area in March and cancelled my year membership. Please beware that it requires THIRTY DAYS notice to cancel your membership. Since I cancelled only 25 days before my renewal date I was billed for a month that I never used. Sure - it does state 30 days in the cancellation contract but I had no choice but to accept the terms - imho this is an unethical business practice. No cancellation should take three days much less thirty days to process. Its a real shame cause if not for this I would recommend this gym to friends and family. But since they had to squeeze another 80$ out of me at the end shows that management doesnt care about their members experience - just their money.
Random fitness classes, with limited connection to the real ufc world. If you came for fitness and calories, go for it. Otherwise, look for a different gym.
They signed up my underage son for a year membership, promising he could cancel at any time, then wouldnt cancel for two months. Now they are charging another month of membership claiming the worket who cancelled originally could not do so because it was not in writing. Bottom line -$450 for a single, mediocre boxing class.
Not so happy. I never saw that stuff is cleaning the gym and same stuff working every time, nothing special.
Work with JT. He is amazing
