★★★★★ — Mark, Oct 2025

I’m so exited to have found this place. I’ve been slowly learning Muay Thai for just over a year and have been looking for a good gym for just as long. So, let me convince you why you should give Muay Thai at SainDae Academy a chance: - The sport itself is not very aggressive.

★★★★★ — Yana, May 2026

I've been to several gyms in Utah. By far my favorite, Rey is extremely knowledgeable and very involved and progress oriented. If you're looking for somewhere to learn Muay Thai with excellent technique or just to get a good exercise, this is the place.

Your first muay thai class at SainDae Muay Thai Academy and fitness

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.
