UFC GYM Long Island - New Hyde Park (NY)

1 /5 Christine Manolios: Place needs to be cleaned. They did update the weight area but the bikes are so old. Horrible. Very disappointed!!! Bathrooms are never cleaned!!! I see some staff doing a lot of talking. Maybe instead of talking they should be cleaning. If they did as much cleaning as talking the place would be spotless!!! The music played at the gym is WAY TOOOOOO LOUD!!! You can’t even think!!! Everyone has their own music to listen to, and they can’t even hear their own music because this music is blaring over what they are trying to listen to!!!!

5 /5 bonnita bell: Training with Brandon has been absolutely awesome. He’s incredibly patient, down-to-earth, and really personalizes the sessions to keep them engaging. I initially started working with him to get into MMA, and even after I had to take a break because of an injury, he got me right back on track when I returned. Brandon’s teaching style is straightforward and super patient, which helped me a lot. He even noticed that I play handball and worked some handball techniques into our training just to keep things interesting for me. It’s that kind of creativity and attentiveness that really makes him stand out. Overall, he’s just a great trainer who’s easy to talk to and really committed to helping you improve. I’ve worked with a couple of other trainers before, but Brandon is definitely the one I’d recommend any day.

1 /5 Kyle Lees: Been to plenty of gyms, and this one fails on so many levels. Now, I cant speak for the level of the classes/instruction, but the gym itself is pretty much impossible to work out in from 5pm-10pm, which is the time most people would be attending after working during the week. I have to fight for a parking spot most days, and have circled the lot for as long as 20 minutes before being able to go inside the facility. There are simply not enough spaces. Once inside, I am welcomed by blaring music and enough people to make me believe I was at a rave, not a gym. Because the gym peaks after 5pm, getting free weights or benches can be a struggle. If you go to the bathroom to change, be prepared for questionably sticky floors, water everywhere, and at least one stall or urinal out of order. I cant stress enough how loud the music is, so bringing a pair of noise cancelling headphones is necessary. Sometimes even that isnt enough to drown out the obnoxiously loud instructors who are micd up and cheering on their clients for literally everybody in the gym to hear. Doesnt matter where you go in the gym, you will hear them, so avoid the classes that go on at 6pm Tuesdays to Thursdays. Honestly, the most disappointing part is the gym is advertised as a 24 hour facility. There was a Saturday I went earlier this year when the gym typically closes early. The patrons and I were given maybe 4 loud warnings over their PA system in the last hour to wrap up our exercises. In the last ten minutes, staff turned the lights off in the restroom/changing room while people were still in there changing! I dont understand why a gym would be advertised as 24 hours except on the days where most people would benefit, on the weekends where they are free. I walked out the earlier this week because I could not focus with the sheer noise. Its beyond distracting. The membership is cheap for a reason. Youd be better off going somewhere else. Staff here is very friendly and helpful, so I hate to leave such a low review, but the place needs some serious adjustments.

4 /5 Eddie Cheaz: I feel this is an excellent gym. Coach Kevin (great teacher and fighter) and all the other coaches Ive met are great! Management recently did an excellent refresh but due to the very high number of members in this club, all the equipment gets a lot of wear and tear. On my wish list is a refresh of the bathrooms and sauna (thank you for even having one!!) and more vacuuming of the floors because they really need it. Overall, a solid 4 stars considering the affordable rates compared to Lifetime.

1 /5 Alexander Wang: Terrible Experience! Do NOT Join! I was a member at this gym for two years, and I canceled my membership two months ago. Despite this, they are STILL charging me! I’ve tried everything to resolve this. I’ve gone in person, sent emails, and made 6+ phone calls. Each time I call, the staff reassures me they’ll relay my message to the manager, but somehow the manager is always conveniently "never there," even when I make sure to call at different times. On top of all this, the gym itself was a mess. The machines and equipment would often break down, and it could take weeks before they were fixed. The bathrooms were almost always left in a terrible condition, which was unsanitary and frustrating. It’s clear that management is at fault here. The lack of accountability and failure to address both billing issues and basic maintenance is unacceptable. After being a loyal member for so long, this is how they treat you? Avoid this gym at all costs. They’ll keep charging you even after you’ve canceled, the equipment is unreliable, and the bathrooms are gross. Management clearly doesn’t care about fixing any of it. Completely unacceptable.
