BBB rated UFC Gym an “F”, while consumers rate the company 1-star out of 5. The lowest possible BBB rating is contributed to poor customer service that is based on 12 customer reviews and 122 customer complaints.
The BBB complaints are regarding various issues, including unauthorized membership cancellation, unauthorized credit card charges, failure to authorize membership cancellation requests, poor customer support, inability to access online fitness courses, and monthly fee issues.
Multiple customers claimed UFC Gym canceled their membership without notification. Others claimed their locations temporarily closed due to COVID. After trying to “freeze” their accounts, their membership expired. With no resolution, the customers turned to BBB for mediation. Unfortunately, the majority of the complaints are still unresolved.
The company has not responded to most of the complaints and responses are limited to referring the customer to the affiliate location.
Most of the BBB complaints are regarding membership cancellation issues.
1.8-Star Customer Rating Google
27 customer rated UFC Gym Corporate Headquarters 1.8 stars out of 5. The reviews were similar to the BBB complaints, regarding expired memberships and no resolutions.
Afterword – UFC Gym Scam
Is UFC Gym a scam? UFC Gym is an affiliate owned by the UFC. There are dozens of affiliate locations across the United States. While the company is legit, it fails to process gym membership cancellation requests and address unauthorized credit card charges after memberships are canceled.
It appears, most or all the locations were closed due to COIVID mandates. Instead of putting the memberships on hold, the company continues to charge members monthly fees. When the customers discover the charges, they contact the company to no avail.
Customers also complain about being charged monthly fees way after their accounts were closed. Another customer claimed to have paid $799 for a 3-year contract, a second time, only to have the company cancel the contract without notification or a refund.
A service provider claimed to have completed work at the Sunnyvale location but was never paid. The corporate office refused to resolve the issue.
There are dozens of these complaints on various review sites, including Yelp, BBB, Indeed, and Trustpilot.
UFC Fight Pass is experiencing the same feedback. Customers cannot cancel their subscriptions and the company continues to charge their credit cards.
