UFC GYM Long Island

I’m not a social reviewer but I can’t imagine a better one for my 1st review than UFC New Hyde Park. My family and I have been members of other fitness places in our town but have called UFC our gym for the past few years now. We absolutely love the ‘community’ that management has created here. Club Manager, Rafael, is a sweetheart. He treats every club member the same; he’s friendly, approachable and supportive. The staff also exemplifies his character from the crew at the front desk to the awesome kid's room attendants to the wonderful cleaning personnel. Also, erase the perceptions that you have to be an MMA fighter to be a member here, lol. Although, its impressive and inspirational seeing the Octagon in the gym, every age group, gender, experience level and body type are welcomed here. We have an affordable family membership that gives us access to their yoga, cycling, boxing, MMA and DUT classes as well as their killer shred total body workouts. The floor space is ample - there is never a wait for a treadmill, stepper or circuit machine, and their free weights area is open to women, teens, body builders and lifters of all stages. All of their trainers and coaches, especially Coaches Brandon and Kevin, and Personal Trainer Jude, are amazing and top notch! They have a recovery area with a cryotherapy chamber which takes your post-workout to another level. Thank you, UFC Long Island! I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else for health/wellness needs!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to my local gym UFC. It’s got a great community vibe. Everyone there is friendly, but they are there to work. It’s not a club scene. The staff always has a smile on their face and a warm greeting when you walk in. I am always inspired by seeing retirees, students, moms and dads who are juggling a lot of things and still finding time to squeeze in a work out, however small. The gym is for everyone, not just people who look or want to look big and muscular. The manager Richie Baierwalter does a good job of keeping the show running smoothly. Not an easy task I’m sure. If you’re able to give up going out to eat a couple of times a week, and are willing to treat yourself to a training session, you will definitely get your moneys worth. It’s not about lifting heavy weights. It’s about doing it the right way. They have an excellent team of trainers there. They make you feel comfortable and teach you a lot. You’ll feel more confident working out on your own afterwards. There’s a ton of classes to take there too. (I still can’t believe I’m actually taking yoga classes... That balance stuff is hard!) Try out the smoothies there too. The medium Batman smoothie for seven bucks is always a refreshing and nourishing treat after a good workout.
