The classes they run
“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.”
“They offer women-only classes — which instantly makes things feel more approachable — but it’s not just a fitness class where you flail your arms and legs around.”
“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.”
“They also host the stonewall self-defense club which is, unfortunately, needed more than ever in these strange and difficult times we are living in.”

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 muay thai? 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 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 SLC Muay Thai
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.
