UltraFlex Fitness — Local services in Monrovia

As a new local to Monrovia, having a lot of free time and lower expenses. This gym had just moved locations and was offering a discounted monthly deal. I grabbed it and have been a regular for just under 6 months now. Great Decision.

NOTE: As they are renovating this new location, it is a work in progress and props to the owners for the progress in fixing the place up. I saw it from start to recent. They are making the gym look very good!

Other Services On-Site -Massage therapist, her name is Faith and she runs Malie Massage. I have created her Google Business here on google maps, you can find her contact pop up on this gym location as well. -Cia Paulista Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They also have a google business on google maps with the gym.

You can find personal trainers here if needed.

They have roughly 6 rooms in total. Before review begins, all equipment is in great condition, with included weight locks for all machines

Parking There is a Lot located on S Primrose Ave, if full parking is available in 3 other spots. Along S Primrose Ave, Across the street in the plaza, or directly in front on foothill blvd.

Room 1 - Normal entrance size (Womens restroom located on street side of building entrance) Entrance area - Treadmills, Front desk, smoothie bar, clothing for purchase, employee office.

Room 2 - Main size Coming in from the parking lot, turn right. This room has all your free weights, squat racks, shoulder machines, back machines, Leg press machines, Bench Presses, Water fountain, Cubby for your belongings, they have steel plates and rubber plates.

Room 3 - I don't use so can't comment. Directly above Room 2. There is a stairway to a mirror room for all gym members to practice posing.

Room 4 - Main room 2 Coming in from the parking lot, turn left. I call this the Green room, for the color of the ground mats. You got the cable machines, Lined up with more treadmills, Stairmaster, new Rogue bike, Variety of smith machines for upper body and legs.

Room 5 - smaller back-end room Coming into room 4, keep walking straight back to the wall with a huge pullup bar and punching bag. I gotta hand it to the owner, punching bags are VERY RARE in weight gyms. I joined mainly because of the punching bag, it was like icing on the cake for me. I can get a workout in, end with hitting the bag. Its great. There is also foam rollers, yoga mats, bicycle machines, Monster Tire, Dumbbells. People often do stretching and hide away if they want to be secluded.

Room 6 - Medium size side-room (Men's Restroom located in this room) Coming into room 4 and make a left. You can take group Cycle or Bootcamp classes here at designated times. There is weighted balls, bicycle machines, kettle bells I think, more dumbbells and oddities to play with. Like a fake Grass area to play around.

Conclusion: Everyone is really friendly. I don't talk much at all while at the gym. Everyone thinks I'm weird, probably from my resting grumpy face.. but they leave me alone haha. I will ask for spots on the bench press, but not much talking besides that. Everyone who I've asked to spot me has done so very friendly. Lots of people who know what their doing here, they have an Instagram for the gym. You can follow them there and get updates. I recommend coming to this gym as its a great environment.

Keep in mind: Any gym is going to be busy during peak hours, so come at other times if you don't like a busy gym. If you have no choice, I always turn my workout routine to whatever is available. Lets say a leg press just opened as I come in, everything else is full. Looks like im starting with Leg Press and just go in with this mindset during peak hours. You may also have to park on the street. Non of this is a con, since this is normal with gyms.

I would say the only Con is not having a swimming pool, if you are looking for that.

Having been a member for more than 2 years, and being a member and guest of other gyms, this one is hands down the best gym I have ever been to. This gym is constantly renovating, upgrading, and updating their equipment. I am surprised by how often everything gets reupholstered, repaired, refurbished etc. If anything happens to any of the equipment, Zac is there to bring it back up and running in no time at all. The owner Brian and his wife and son Kevin are very friendly and continue to make sure this gym has everything it needs to be the best local gym anyone has attended. They have meal prepped meals restocked in the fridge multiple times a week, always have their other fridge full of energy drinks and pre workouts and waters if needed. They offer a microwave if you need that too. The bathrooms have showers. There is even a posing room for the serious contenders that want to practice their posing in good lighting. There are all sorts of cable machines, resistance machines, free-weight machines and a plethora of dumbbells, resistance bands, kettle bells, medicine balls, stretching equipment and more for every muscle group. They just added a whole new room for legs and booty building. There are a handful of power lifting setups for barbell squatting, deadlifting, clings etc. Two Smith machines, a whole Ab exercise area. The place is completely stacked with workout equipment. I don't even know how they fit it all because there is so much. There are some new punching bags. They are adding more every month. Pretty soon they will have saunas in the bathrooms. This place is a haven for people who work out and just want to get their routine in and get out so they can tackle the rest of their day. It's been a blessing to be a part of this gym and I think anyone looking for a cool place to work out should check it out. I am impressed with how helpful people are, there are a ton of people with lots of knowledge all over and they are super friendly and good people to be around and get to know. When I first went here I was not that comfortable with the equipment and knowing what to do as it's been a while since I've worked out & luckily had some great help and advice from the people who attend this gym. Now I feel much more confident in my routine and that I can do the exercises with most of the equipment with decent form. It has completely changed my life being a member here. Don't be afraid to ask people for...

We moved to Monrovia from out of state in July and searched for gyms for about a week, adamantly! After visiting about 8 gyms, we decided on Foothill and are very happy with our choice so far. The deciding factors for our decision were, the physical location (we live above Old Town and the area is adorable), the huge variety of machines and benches, parking, the low price and the friendly staff. We have joined fancy athletic clubs in the past that didn't have many options and were triple the price. You always feel welcomed here and everyone is there for the same reason. We have gone about 5 times a week for the past six weeks and really enjoy it. Thank you...
