I have been a member of Ricardo Llamas’ UFC Gym in Naperville for several years and strongly recommend it. The trainers are knowledgeable and inspire members to reach their fitness goals. The gym has a friendly atmosphere and is welcoming to new members. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Great gym…great trainers…great members…and great owners!
Came to this gym after looking for a good place for BJJ and found them offering a free session. Was just looking for a way to get physical and compete again…. The last thing I expected was to get 1 on 1 attention from a UFC title contender while drilling technique! I was once again mind blown when I got to roll with the instructor (Pierce) by the end of my first week! They do an awesome job at making you feel like you joined a team, rather than just a gym. Plus it’s way cheaper and way more fun than like all the other gyms.If you’re thinking about it, do it. Trust.
I have been a member of a lot of gyms in my life, but this is by far, one of the best fitness organizations I’ve ever been a part of. You’re always greeted by name at the door. The coaches greet you as you walk around the gym. The facility is clean. The people here... they’re just all on the same page. I’ve made friends and discovered new abilities to my body, mentally and physically. I can not recommend this gym enough. It is worth every penny you put into it if you truly want to learn. If you are considering getting in shape, learning MMA, or just trying something new give Ricardo Lamas and his team the opportunity. You will not regret it.
Honestly ever since I joined this gym, my lifestyle has changed completely, I feel much healthier and more active! I really love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, I met new friends and the atmosphere is just amazing! If you want to get into BJJ for beginners, I highly recommend coach Pierce LaHaye, he will go over basics step by step! I haven’t joined Ricardo’s classes yet but hopefully soon! Other than that staff is great! Amazing customer service, great equipment to work out, they always keep the gym nice and clean. Well organized place, I highly recommend to sign up if you want to meet the martial arts world!
This gym was fantastic! The staff/coaching set a new gym standard. Great environment and excellent culture for beginners to experienced gym goers. Sadly I had to move. If I had the money to move them closer to me I would.
Been going to gyms my whole life and UFC Naperville has the best Gym experience EVER!!!Nicely done Rich & Matt
Best in class gym. Handled COVID smartly and safely. Great stuff for kids and nice family atmosphere --
Amazing, family friendly gym with coaches and members who encourage and work together to help everyone achieve their fitness goals.
Great gym, very clean, the staff is awesome.
Best gym ever! My hubby and I are glad we rejoined. Huge facility, extended hours and very polite and professional employees. They are taking extra measures to ensure everyones safety.
I joined for the workouts, stayed for the people.. And workouts. All the coaches have their own styles of doing their classes, so theres plenty of variety. If you have any questions on an exercise or improving your form, theyre very helpful and knowledgeable. Management is also very attentive and welcoming. LOVE. THIS. GYM.
This by far is the best gym I have ever been part of. It has very knowledgeable coaches who have competed from amature to professional levels and are willing to help out anybody no matter what skill level they are in.I have been part of this gym for 9 months and have lost 65lbs thanks to the coaches. The staff are very professional and make you feel very welcoming. This is a very family oriented place and anyone who walks in feels very welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to compete or simply reach your weight loss goals.
I have been to many gyms throughout my years. I have NEVER been to one that is this welcoming, well ran, inclusive, knowledgeable and positive. The atmosphere that has been created there is phenomenal. It is unlike anything I have ever seen or been a part of in a gym atmosphere. Furthermore, their equipment is top notch and well maintained. Their coaches are true experts in their field. They walk the walk and talk the talk. Bottom line, I HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone at any fitness level. You DO NOT have to be in shape to be there. There are members at numerous fitness levels. Thank you UFC Gym Naperville for the experience and climate that you have created!
I absolutely love this gym. Anyone that goes there will benefit from any class they take. The people are great and the coaches are amazing. What sets this gym apart from others is that this gym truly feels like a family and has such a welcoming atmosphere with knowledgeable coaches that are willing to take the time and teach you the right technique. They push you to do your best and get the best out of the classes.
I have been coming to UFC Gym Naperville for almost a year now. It is the most amazing gym. The staff is very knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. It is always very clean. Wonderful equipment and GREAT classes. I love everything about UFC Naperville.
This business is a joke. Unless they think you are worthy of a tag they will not except you as a client. Hilarious. Young kids need to learn how to run business. Stay away. There’s many options for people who are over 30 and don’t need a fashion show. Good luck kids. Expire
The UFC group classes and personal trainers have helped me make progress on my strength and martial arts goals. I came in as a beginner and the classes and coaches were very accommodating. Members at the gym are positive, encouraging, and friendly.
This is the best place! The Youth program is so amazing and the staff build confidence and self-esteem in the young boys and girls! So happy our son gets to be a part of such a wonderful group!
This gym only wants your money. They make a bunch of false promises and never follow through. They make it difficult for you to cancel. Matt, Jorge and Adam don’t care about their members. Horribly ran gym
After having spent an entire year here, I can easily say that this is the most comforting, welcoming, and inclusive gym that I have ever been a part of. If these reviews don’t do this place justice, just ask any of the members that make up our incredible atmosphere. 5 out of 5.
Great gym with very friendly clients and trainers. Always something going on in the evenings and many different class that can be attended. Very upbeat and children friendly. However still a great place for those serious about fitness and training. If you are a parent trying to get a workout in bring your children they have great classes for them to attend, learn and most importantly have fun.
Been a member of this gym now for almost one year. This is an absolutely incredible gym that has literally every type of workout available. From boxing to TRX to bootcamp you can find it all here. Every single coach is knowledgeable and challenges you to work hard. The owners, Matt and Ric, are two of the best guys you could ever meet. Please do yourself a favor and go to this gym to have fun, get results, and meet some amazing people! Seriously, hands down, there is no other place as good as UFC Naperville!
This is the most amazing gym Ive ever been too! There is literally something for everyone here. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. You will definitely get the most out of your $ at this gym.
Been going to a gym on and off since I was 15 and this is by far the best gym. I tried it for a month and now my wife and son are signed up as well. Next yr my little girl will be 4 and will be going as well.
Ive been going for the couple months and I can say that Ive never been to a more friendly and inviting gym. Hands down! Do yourserlf a favor and just come check it out. You wont leave disappointed. Its always very clean and the coaches are extremely supportive! They listen to all the feedback you provide and do their best to accommodate.
Awesome gym. Super nice staff, exceptionally clean facility, and a variety of classes for people of all fitness levels. Highly recommend!
Had always wanted to give MMA a try but thought it would be intimidating & I would need to get in shape before walking through the door. That wasnt happening. My son wanted to go so we joined as a family. What a great, welcoming community! The first couple weeks hurt but the coaches gently pushed us along and now it is part of our routine. Really nice to find a gym that I look forward to going to.
I have been going to this gym since July 2019. I have NEVER enjoyed a gym this much! The classes are not only super effective but also fun! The staff at the gym are very friendly- I’m always greeted by name, they’ve created an amazing culture. I love the Facebook community they’ve created, which includes various training videos, support of gym members, local events, etc. I take my two teenage sons with me, which is an awesome way for them to learn that fitness is an important part of life. They also offer private lessons, which we’ve used to learn Jiu-Jitsu in between regular classes. The coaches couldn’t be more nice, positive and encouraging. I’ve referred numerous people to this gym because I sincerely appreciate the experience they’ve created and I know others truly enjoy it as well!
I’ve been going to this gym for about a month now and nothing compares to how amazing this place is. I’ve tried a lot of different gyms in the past and have always felt uncomfortable or lost. At UFC Gym all the coaches and memebers make it a point to get to know you and help you with your personal fitness goals. Everyone is so inviting and nonjudgmental. The classes are tough but everything is done at your own pace. The place is always clean, great coaches, overall just a great place to workout at. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
I’m confused by the ignorant 1 star post on here that says “I do not go”. Way to support the community!This is the best gym I’ve ever been to. Great people, amazing coaches, and phenomenal atmosphere! Thanks for all you guys do!
This guy had promised me something and had undelivered on his promise. He had promised personal training to me and had not given it to me. Lesson Learned. Read what you sign. Probably have to save up for the $700 dollars that I lost so I can get personal training from somewhere else.
This gym is phenomenal, amazing trainers who know when to push someone and when to stop to give more pointers. The gym has an amazing community feel because of the nature of the martial arts classes and the convenient schedules.
Consistently clean. Courteous staff. The machines are spaced sufficiently. The amenities I never use. Id rather have more trainers and classes.
I have been a member of UFC Gym Naperville Ricardo Lamas for almost a year. I enjoy the Boxing Conditioning & BootCamp classes. They also offer a variety of other classes such as boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, MMA and many more.Ricardo and Matt (owners) are truly two of the most sincere and nicest people I have ever met. The coaching staff is 1st class & all experts in their field of expertise. Where can you go and be trained by one of the most elite MMA fighters of all-time (Ricardo Lamas)? Nowhere but UFC Naperville.Please do yourself a favor and stop over and try a class for free. You will get hooked like I did and fall in love with this place.
This is an amazing gym. The staff there is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome. Wonderful experience.
I’ve been waiting for a UFC Gym to come to Naperville. I’ve trained at other gyms and I know how intimidating it can be to walk into an MMA gym. However, Matt and his coaches and staff are very welcoming and friendly to everyone. This gym has everything I like; free weights, exercise machines, group classes, personal training, heavy bags, and an Octagon. All the equipment is brand new and the facility is spotless. You can get in shape, learn self-defense, and even compete here. I have never competed in the cage, but the first time I got to roll with Ricardo and tapped out to an armbar he taught us just two days before, I knew I made the right choice.
Amazing facility, incredible coaches. Fighting knowledge fitness knowledge and remarkable service. 5 stars!
Best gym around looking forward on coming back..
Great service and great people. Come in with little experience or research so learning can be smoother.
Love the people and the atmosphere!!
The classes are tough! You def get to challenge yourself. I have yet to do the DUT, but looking forward to it. The coaches are great! The atmosphere is great! And you can do a tabata on their three airdyne bikes...ouch!GG
Great coaches and classes!
I dont go
