From the reviews

My kids and I love this gym!!!! This gym is a complete MMA gym has a variety of mix martial arts. Boxing and jujitsu are our favorite. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and there’s really good training partners. If you’re just starting or are an experienced fighter this is the gym to go.

★★★★★ — Omar’S, Nov 2023

Best coach in Utah! Nice new facility with weights as well as great boxing gear. Good for beginners, but also some seasoned fighters can find some good sparring rounds here too. Family friendly too.

★★★★★ — Daniel, Aug 2019

I went to the boxing classes a few times a week for about 6 months before moving out of state. The coaches know their stuff and make opportunities for one on one training especially if you get involved in the sparring. The facilities are high quality.

★★★★★ — Zachary, Aug 2021

Great facilities. Eric is an awesome coach. Great depth of knowledge and really willing to work with you to make sure you are successful at reaching your personal goals. Especially good for people looking to break into amateur fighting.

New to muay thai? Start at Fight City SLC

Fight City SLC comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Fight City SLC

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
