Wish there was a gym like this when I was a little younger.
Anyway, it's 5 stars to balance some of the unfair reviews I've seen - though I'd easily give this place over 4 anyway,
It's clean inside, which is not the case in quite a lot of gyms. I've been to enough gyms to see that cleansing is not always the case. If you leave it up to the patrons or members, then chances are you're going to see evidence of someone's sweat lingering on the equipment you plan on using.
While not overly huge (other UFC gyms are larger), it's sizable enough depending on what you're planning to do. There's more than enough bags to use, a speed bag, treadmill, benches, bikes, elliptical machines, and other random things. There's gloves you can borrow for a bout with the bag, but make sure you sanitize when you're done.
There's plenty of UFC merchanise available to purchase as well depending on what you're interested in. There's also an octagon cage available for classes and practice,
My son's in one of the classes there and the instructor is great. I really wish there was a mma/jujitsu class around back in my youth,
The staff is always friendly.
It's located on the corner in a fairly busy section of White Plains. Street parking is horrendous and the meter police are all over the place looking for any excuse to get White Plains money - so park in the municipal parking lot behind the building - it's about $1 an hour.
So overall a great gym. I plan to get a membership soon myself to pound on the bags at will. If you're curious, I would ask about a trial membership. Recommended.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Greenie G.White Plains, NY01710Sep 9, 2018
I love UFC, White Plains! I go about 5x a week and i love the schedule. I usually go first thing in the morning but i love the options to go at night as well. They offer many different times/coaches. The coaches motivate you and teach you the right form/technique. There is also a great amount of other exercises in between boxing; pushups, situps, etc. I love it all! They understand my limitations as well (injuries,arthritis) and always provide some modifications. The owner and all the staff always greet you with a smile at the front desk and you leave feeling great after a wonderful workout. Thank you UFC family, Stacy is here to stay!!! PS. if you want personal training,they offer that too. I would recommend: Finale, Michele, Paul E,, DJ and Josh. I Know the others are great too, but i know these first hand!

Honestly, DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! Ignore at all costs!
THEY WANT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY... Literally!!
I was a member for a year in mamaroneck and loved it there but once white plains gym opened I decided to change my gym to the ufc in white plains. I regret my decision.
Staff members are rude there! Very disrespectful! I cancelled my membership back in November and my bank account let me know in December that ufc gym tried to take out monthly charge! I was surprised, called ufc immediately. The young girl up front answered and was very rude.
I talked to a manager named Jeff back in November he said everything was fine, after the upcoming payment was paid I would not be charged and membership would be cancelled.
A few days ago a third party collector called me about ufc .. And I was surprised again! I called ufc and Damien, the GM, spoke to me. He let me know Jeff is no longer there and whatever Jeff has told me about my account being canceled is a lie. He also said I needed to pay for December! It's ridiculous! I asked to speak to someone higher than him and he transferred me to the owner Dean Ballantoni.... ITS BEEN A WEEK AND THIS GUY HAS NOT CONTACTED ME BACK!
All ufc staff member keep saying is I have to pay the month of December, which I never attended once and didn't even know my account was still not cancelled.
Now I am stuck paying a whole month for no reason!!!!!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

We strive for excellent customer service by making sure we present and explain our memberships clearly and professionally to prospective new members. To ensure clarity and for our members' convenience, we send a copy of their membership to their email address. I am glad you told us about the other manager and his staff: I am pleased to inform you they are no longer with this Company and I am proud to say the new staff is kind, friendly, and professional.
Thanks for your feedback. - Cal C.New York, NY3624096Oct 23, 2016
I was a member for about 17 months. Staff and instructors are fine here and fellow members are incredibly friendly and encouraging. Had amazing results during my time through taking fun and demanding classes as well as some Krav training with Finale. I am a bit beat up from nagging injuries, from outside of UFC, so I have to take a break.

Best. Coaches. Ever. I've been to many gyms and nothing beats the intensity of workouts here, which is really for everybody bc the trainers know how to adjust for each person's abilities/ goals. Most trainers don't know how to coach to multiple people at the same time (they usually just assign same activity/ difficulty level uniformly regardless of different fitness profiles of class members) but here you really get the best workout possible! Coach Finale and Steve especially rock! I'm sure others are just as great, my schedule just doesn't permit me taking all of the classes :(

I have been a member for over a year here and I love it. The instructors are knowledgeable and the classes are fun and challenging. They have a mma crossfit vibe depending on who you workout with. The space has free weights and weight training machines, web trx, and basic aerobic machines and equipment. The only cons are the hours are not as broad as other franchise gyms and certain classes can push you past your tolerance for the necessary recovery times needed to give your all. The instructor will not care if you r in pain lol. You can purchase or borrow equipment for the classes and the staff is extra helpful if you have questions or need advice on form, exercise, or nutrition. Cool spot.

Any place that gets my husband to lose 45 pounds since June is a place I love. Both me and my husband love the gym and the trainers (who are all superb). At first I thought I'll be very intimidated going to such a gym, but in actuality it's an inviting place with a nice sense of community. The classes are really tough, in a "it hurts so good" way. Highly recommend.

I came here once on a trial 3 years ago and today they sent me a bill for $1000 that I owe them. I have no idea for what but I plan to sue. This is very shady business practices and I will fight this crappy gym to the bone.

I absolutely love UFC !! It literally has changed my life . When I walked in for the first time back in January, I was scared, out of shape, lost and intimidated but Christina was really nice and helpful. All the staff here are great . I have to thank my personal trainer Finale for helping me and giving me that push from day 1 . He really is amazing at what he does. He is always patient and available to answer any questions. It's been almost 4 months since I started training with him and I feel amazing... I love the progress I'm making. Thank you so much Finale for helping me in this journey .

I really have fallen in love with this gym and within 4 weeks of joining I am happy to share a few things 1.) Lost weight - about 9 lbs or so since joining. 2.) The entire staff are amazing, friendly, and so helpful. Each has his own style and methodology, but all are super motivating and come around and teach everyone various boxing techniques and show proper form for excercises. All SUPER positive 3.) I have never done the same workout twice! Each class I've taken has challenged me in ways I never imagined and my stamina is way up. I've had back surgery and lower back issues for years and because I'm getting a full body workout each time, that has actually helped alleviate any pain I've been feeling. 4.) The other members who come to the gym are also great! Everyone pushes each other and it's really motivating to workout alongside people at all fitness levels. 5.) My wife and I get to workout together which is a lot of fun. Thanks UFC White Plains.. this place changed my life!
