UFC GYM Paramus

I have been a member here since day 1 — just like Chelsea, I have other «gym offers» through work which are literally free. No thanks, I will keep my «gym family» and everything UFC has to offer.
If you haven’t tried it, you can take a class for free before you buy it. It isn’t for everyone, so take advantage of that great offer. You will not be sorry!

I never Unilocal.I only have an account to look up restaurants and salons but I feel so compelled to Unilocal this place.
I started working out at UFC gym about 5 months ago and I can say I have seen the most improvements in not only my body, but my mind. It is truly one of the most uplifting places I have ever had the privilege of joining. Every trainer will get to know you by name and truly cares about challenging you to do your best. The owner will go out of his way to say hi to you and give you a hug whenever you walk in. The facility is always kept immaculate. It’s safe to say this place is more than a gym. It is a community of people that just want to work hard and support one another. This place has become my sanctuary.
If you’re looking for something more than a gym, UFC is the place for you.

UFC??? This gym was made for Unilocalers.
Honestly, I can’t say much more than Skylar B. did in her review. I love the workouts here, and the people def. have me coming back again and again. It’s a UFC family.
I work in the city and I get a $ 10/​year membership through my work to another gym and I don’t go. I also can get a $ 25/​month membership to a gym through my health insurance. I don’t use it… I pay $ 90 a month to come here. Maybe that makes me crazy, but I’m also getting to be in really good shape, and feeling really good, and that makes it all worth it.
I love the boxing and DUT classes. It’s really hard for me to make it sometimes because of my commute, but I’m happy they have 7:45 pm classes. The workouts are pretty intense so I’m already seeing definition in my arms and abs that I’ve never seen before in my life, even with only making it to the gym once or twice a week.
There are also BAD (Boxing After Dark) classes on occasion… the real name is Kickboxing in the Dark, but I think my way is more fun. They get a DJ in, turn the lights out, and do strobes and disco lights during the class. It is SO fun! I think I have the most energy during these workouts haha
Can’t say enough about UFC Paramus! I just bought a tank the other day: Train Different!

I signed up in January (month to month), coming from years of Muay Thai and Boxing experience and was pleasantly surprised at how well the classes were constructed. I thought I had been in great shape but the first class proved me wrong, giving me the best a**-kicking to date. Each instructor has their own style and you’re never stuck in the same routine while you’re there, which keeps it far from boring. This whole gym though, aside from the clean and modern facilities, is nothing without its awesome staff and members. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and are always supportive and encouraging. I unfortunately had to cancel my membership due to other commitments, but the employee who helped me was beyond helpful, and made the process completely painless. If you’re uncertain of joining, definitely try a class. Fair warning: you’ll be hooked.

I went here over a year ago for a few months on a month to month payment plan, NO CONTRACT. The training was pretty good and nice friendly staff but they are out to screw you. I was moving out of town and filled the form to cancel. She even gave me crap about how there is usually a cancellation fee but she would let it slide… Haha this lady I did no contract! At first I filled out the form to freeze my account but changed my mind and filled the form to cancel. Seems she did not.
Half a year later I get invoices sent and called again. They said they would stop adding on while they look into it. BS. Now they are sending collections that I owe $ 500+ which I will not pay
This company is out to screw you, watch out.
I also forgot to add. When I joined and made my first payment, there was a $ 100 something fee that was added and when I asked she said it was just a deposit and would be returned to me or used as credit. Later I find out it was a registration fee. HAHA WOW

I have been a member of this gym almost since it has opened. And I still love it. I played football my whole life and needed a new sport and I found it! When ever you walk in you feel like your apart of a family everyone there is so nice. I also use 2 trainers Victor for boxing and Geoff for fitness and they are the BEST I actually wake up and can’t wait to get there. Try this place and you will love it. Makes working out fun!

I’ve been a member at this gym for about a year now and before I signed up here I never worked out, hated it. My idea of working out was doing ten squats anytime I went to the bathroom (seriously, I’d do that). Now, I go to the gym every morning for personal training and every evening for class, so trust me when I tell you, UFC Paramus is in a league of its own. I can never get enough, not only do I look forward to the workouts, but I look forward to the people.
Classes:
The classes are definitely more difficult in comparison to classes I’ve tried at other gyms. The trainers are AWESOME! If you’re slacking they push you, if you’re working your ass off, they push you harder. They’re attentive to each member, making sure you have the right form and whatnot. They keep the classes fresh and exciting by always switching up the workouts, so you’ll never feel like they’re getting repetitive. Also, each trainer has his own style of training which adds variety to the classes. The energy level is ridiculous, they play the best music to keep you pumped up and motivated. Before you know it, the hours up and you’re left wondering how such an intense workout could fly by so fast. The answer’s simple: you had a good ass time doing it.
Personal Training:
I’ve been doing personal training since I first became a member and can honestly tell you it’s money well spent. You have the option of buying a half hour package or a full hour. They offer a payment plan if you can’t pay in full which is pretty sweet. I started with the half hours and made a ton of progress, so I recently upgraded to the hours. After the results I saw from the half hours, I’m excited to see what the hours will do for me. I meet with Geoffrey for strength & conditioning and I meet with Victor for boxing/​padwork. Before I signed up, I could barely do 5 push-​ups without wanting to die, now Geoffrey has me doing 150 just as my warm-​up. He’ll have you feeling invincible by the time your sessions are up (just don’t go running into any burning buildings tryin to be a hero). The boxing is an awesome way to get your cardio in if you typically hate doing cardio and it’s addicting, you forget you’re even working out. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll feel like a total bad-​ass. The one-​on-​one also helps a lot with the classes if you tend to feel like you’re hitting the bag wrong. We train in one of those cages you see on TV and I can’t even explain the feeling you get from being in that thing, you’d have to sign up and see for yourself on that one. They both make training so much fun and you’d be surprised at how quickly they yield results.
People:
Workouts aside, the people here alone will make you want to come back. Between the staff and the members, this place is more than just a gym, it’s a family. Once you join, you have a guaranteed support system helping you to stay on track in achieving your goals. It’s the type of place where you’re greeted with smiles when you’re there and where you’re missed when you’re not. You’ll find yourself wanting to get your workout in because people actually notice when you walk through the door and appreciate the fact that you’re putting in the effort to become the best version of yourself. Seriously, it’s like the Cheers of gyms, just look up the theme song and it describes this place to a ‘T’. Peter, the owner, is the nicest man you’ll ever meet. He makes everyone feel so good about themselves and just genuinely wants to help his members live happier and healthier lives. He really went above and beyond with this place, creating an environment that is fun and welcoming. A gym you’ll go to workout because you WANT to, not because you know you should.

I love UFC and the people are amazing. If you are looking for more than a gym, and looking for a community this place is it. The workouts are extremely challenging depending on how much effort you give it. What I like the most is that the workouts are not «girled» down… meaning in other gyms the workouts seem sometimes too easy as if designed for some fragile being. Here it is go time for the full hour. Love this place!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this gym! Been a member for over 2 years and still find every class a challenge. Always bettering themselves with their classes. Never boring. All the trainers are great. They all show love to every member there. Great music, motivating and feel invigorated every time I walk into the gym. Look forward to the workouts everyday…

Wowwweeeee that review by Mega was so far off course he must not be going to the one in Paramus that I go to.
First, Geoff ‘s class is awesome, absolutely amazing. But so are all the other trainers classes for that matter. Each one has his own technique and style… each one offering different challenges for your body. I’m happy taking any class that falls on my busy schedule and there’s plenty of classes. The classes are designed to work your entire body and you feel it the next day. trust me. The instructors/​coaches give you tons of attention on form and the correct way to do the exercise so that it benefits your body. And while you do the drill you get so much enthusiasm and encouragement from them that you get psyched for your next class. you wanna come back and try to keep up and do more reps, etc. It’s what you want and expect when you join.
Second, the desk staff are super friendly and outgoing. They know your name, they ask about work, family, whatever. You always feel welcomed. The owner, Peter, always has a smile and a big hello and gives you little words of encouragement that makes your day a little bit brighter. :)
The clientele is friendly and encouraging as well, everyone gets to know each other because we see the same faces all the time. There aren’t any cliques here, everyone feels welcomed.
When you join UFC you aren’t joining just another gym, you become part of the team, part of a family of health and exercise enthusiasts… you Want to come here everyday… and you see results fast.

Good workout that is challenging especially Geoff’s Saturday morning class. You will get pushed
This place gets 3 stars because they are obnoxiously pushy when it comes to signing people up. They called and follow up a lot and they definitely give you the hard sell on joining. Plus there front desk people can come across awkward at times.
Membership fees are reasonable but caveat emptor let the buyer beware
