There are lots of great things about this gym:All the equipment I need, free weights and machinesNever empty and never overly crowded: and everyone is friendly and willing to spot.A lot of gyms have that; what really stands out at UAC are the staff. The owner knows my name, the employees are always really friendly, and they keep the atmosphere better than anywhere I’ve gone before.As a student, there have been 2 specific policies that have stood out at UAC: 1) their discounted student pricing which makes this top quality gym affordable on my budget, and 2) the ability to pause a membership for up to 3 months at a time. I live out of state over the summer so this saved me a lot of money.Now… if I could only break my bench press PB…Edit- I did break my bench PB before leaving this summer. Now I am back on the grind to get to that number so I can pass it again!

The facility had a nice assortment of machines but the customer service is non existent…. I asked a few questions about how machines work and got no answers or follow up. Billings have also been a problem.

I have been a member of UAC since opening, in addition to working with Sean (the owner) prior to his opening. The efforts and dedication to his clients is phenomenal! Sean and all the staff at UAC is dedicated to serving the community and welcomes people of all colors, race, sexual orientation ..etc. On a professional level, Sean is knowledgeable on working with any athletes from body builders, to weight loss programs. With COVID, they have done a GREAT job at following all protocols, and keeping members safe to assure that we remain open! UAC is a part of the community, and highly recommend joining this community of fitness that you don't receive at a normal gym.

This gym has everything I need to get a good workout and it’s quickly become my home away from home! The staff and members are very kind and have made rejoining a gym at this time feel comfortable.

I was a drop in, everything was super clean, and they had places to store your stuff. Looks small from the outside but they have everything I needed to feel sore the next day. Highly recommend this spot.

Read their year contract carefully. If you want to cancel your year long membership early, you need to pay the remainder of your year in FULL.

I’ve been going to this gym for a few months and have absolutely LOVED it! Sean, the owner, always checks in with me and helps me out whenever I have a question or just need a little bit of motivation. I’ve also started to do boxing lessons here with Elias and they have been such a great addition to my workouts! I love the community feel of the gym!

This gym is perfect! Both the members and employees/owner are very professional and committed to standing by covid regulations. The staff and members are friendly and helpful and the space is super clean and well laid out for a variety of workouts. The owner has helped me through many stages of my life and goals over several years. From maternity, post natal workouts, injury, and the dreaded Covid 19lbs, he has been my go to trainer and I was thrilled when he opened his own place to support such a nice and knowledgeable person. He continues to impress me with how he is running his gym and I look forward to watching his success and supporting this incredible establishment.
