“A lot of them focused mostly on sparring, which wasn’t really what I was after 😵.”
“It’s a great place for any personal goals, whether that be just for cardio, to learn the sport, or to potentially compete one day.”

From the reviews
Excellent gym with all sorts of amenities. They are very inclusive and make newcomers feel at home. Definitely a better atmosphere than other gyms I’ve been to in Salt Lake. The members range from beginners all the way up to seasoned fighters like Merina and Justin.
Best gym EVER! Seriously, the coaches know what they’re talking about and are so helpful! Whether you’re a beginner with no experience, or someone who’s been doing martial arts for years, they know how to help you become a better version of yourself.
I’m not interested in fighting, to be honest — but after my husband taught me some Muay Thai, I was hooked. What I love is that it’s both fun and functional: you get to focus on form and technique (which I enjoy), and you get stronger as a bonus.
One of the best Muay Thai gyms I've ever trained at! I've been training over 8 years and this gym is one of the best, from the overall experience of the coaches to the friendly culture. Each of the coaches have their own styles and experiences, so you get a wide variety of knowledge and focuses while training.
New to kickboxing? Start at SLC Muay Thai
SLC Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at SLC Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
