From the reviews
This is an awesome gym! They have so much here and so many different classes, it’s cool that you can get so many different types of workouts and martial arts all in the same place, their equipment is awesome the staff is super friendly and the coaches are great at what they do!
I can't say enough good things about this gym. It's amazing for a variety of reasons. It's family oriented. They have kids' classes starting at 4 years old, teaching ju jitsu and muay thai.
The coaches are very knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about teaching, breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy for beginners to grasp while still challenging for advanced students. The classes are well-structured, blending warm-ups, drills, and sparring to build skills and confidence.
When I joined the gym I wasn’t looking to lose weight, I just wanted to have fun and move around. I came to Wasatch combat sports and started taking their strength and conditioning classes. I’ve had a personal record on the bench press and deadlift that I haven’t broken in 5 years.
New to muay thai? Start at Wasatch Combat Sports
Wasatch Combat Sports 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 Wasatch Combat Sports
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.
