  Working with Coach Nicky has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and healing. I started training with him right after tearing my ACL and meniscus, and he’s supported me every step of the way—from prehab and surgery through the ups and downs of recovery. What truly sets Coach Nicky apart is how deeply he cares. He’s helped me rebuild not just my strength, but also my mindset. He didn’t just push me through the tough moments—he helped me understand that the lows are a natural and necessary part of recovery. That perspective changed everything for me. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and always tailors his approach to your individual needs—from training plans to nutrition guidance. If you’re looking for a coach who genuinely invests in your growth and wellbeing, Coach Nicky is the real deal and overall just an amazing human.

  I recently joined the UFC Kailua gym with friendly staff and a positive atmosphere. There’s a diverse mix of people, which adds to the experience. I was dealing with significant pain in my IT band, but trainers Chelsea and Trevor helped relieve it through targeted stretching and strengthening exercises. I also had the opportunity to train with UFC fighter Grayson, where I learned how to throw a punch, slip a punch, cover up when being hit, and some take-down techniques. I'm looking forward to joining some of the evening group classes they offer. I recommend purchasing training hours when you sign up, as they come at a discounted rate.

  I’ve been with UFC Kailua since it first opened, tried some coaching and decided it wasn’t for me. Recently I have been having issues with my joints and muscle, particularly my right shoulder. Raising my right arm greater than 90 degrees was very difficult without causing pain in my shoulder and my upper body workout was getting very difficult. One day I saw Coach Nicki Macaluso’s flyer for assisted stretching and sports massage and decided to sign up for an initial consultation. Although hesitant at first, after my initial consultation I was very impressed and comfortable with him. So I signed up for 2 months of sessions. My sessions usually started with sports massage & assisted stretching, then on to learning self-stretching and exercises to strengthen smaller muscles I never knew I had. We started with my shoulders and by the 4th week I was able to raise my right arm 180 deg without pain. Week 5 we moved on to core and legs, by the time my sessions was complete I felt stronger than I have been in a long while. Coach Nicki has a great knowledge of the human muscular anatomy and has the ability to really get in tune with your body. He’s taught me a lot about my muscular anatomy and my work out routine. With the tools he has given me I am excited to see how much further I can improve in the next 3 months. Beyond helping me feel less pain, gaining strength and flexibility, he has greatly improved my quality of life After sessions with Coach Nicki, I have change of perspective on coaching. UFC has a lot of good coaches, it’s just a matter of finding one that fits you. If you have a joint and muscle issues I would highly recommend Coach Nicki, I am very happy that I did.

  Customer service needs a lot of help there for the front desk. I usually go to the Waikele location but decided to go to Kailua because it’s closer to my job. The first time I went there the lady at the front desk was arguing with me that I didn’t have a guest pass when I clearly have the champion membership. She proceeded to say that all ufc is franchised and that I can only use it at my home gym (Waikele) she then proceeded to tell my guest he has to pay. I said no. I been to Mililani multiple times and they had not said anything about guest pass being only at Waikele. She then rolled her eyes and said hold on. Then said oh never mind you’re good. She didn’t even apologize. Her face presence didn’t even look like she even wanted to be there working. So I said maybe she had a rough day. The next time I go she’s there again. I check in and she doesn’t even say hi or anything. She just stares. As I was leaving I booked cryo for 7:30 and before I spoke to the front desk they were talking to two gentleman that was trying to check in, they were giving them a hard time about not having a towel. Which I understand. You need to follow policy. But when I checked in they didn’t ask for a towel. They then told the guys they need to leave. I went up and said I booked online cryo at 7:30 and they said oh we shut it down at 7:30 so we can’t do it. Then said online booking doesn’t work and I need to sign up on a paper. Well why not block online booking? There should be better communication about that. I don’t think I would ever go back to ufc Kailua. The worst customer service ever. The front desk person should not be working there. I wish I got her name. I was so frustrated with both experiences. I work in customer service and I would never ever speak to any guest like how she did. Don’t argue with your guest if you don’t have the right information. I know a few people that go there because they live in Kailua and it’s convenient. They said that girl in the front desk always has attitude problems too and they would switch gyms but the commute is to long for them. The local girl in the front desk with heavy eye lashes needs more training ASAP
