I’ve been a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, Muay Thai in particular, and have had the privilege and good fortune to train with some amazing people over the last 25 years since I fought on the local circuit here. SLC Muay Thai sets itself apart in its exceptional culture. It is accommodating, inclusive, and friendly from the top down. To see my daughter, who is an amputee after cancer took her leg, devoting herself and finding a passion in the art that very much saved me when I was younger has been moving in ways that are hard to express. 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. It’s hard to find this type of generous and open atmosphere in Utah, much less in a martial arts studio. The owner frequently hosts seminars with legendary luminaries of the art, and is precise and thoughtful in her lesson plans. She is not only a masterful practitioner of the art but is, in my humble opinion, a world class instructor in her own right. It is readily apparent that she cares about the growth and progress of her students. The only regrets I have are not being able to fully take advantage of their many available class times and having not started sooner.

Disclaimer: I'm only evaluating the business side, not the training. For several months I've been emailing and calling SLC Muay Thai as I have several family members who were interested in joining. I've never had a single phone call or email returned. I can only assume that the person in charge of the business side of things was kicked in the head while training and has been out of commission. Unfortunately, they will be missing out on multiple new members. and we'll be looking for alternatives that will take inquiries seriously.

This gym hits all the key markers for martial arts. The environment is safe and welcoming—especially for women—the training is both high-quality and fun, and the community is incredibly supportive. You don’t need any prior experience; SLC meets you where you are and helps you find a path to your goals.After 16 years in Muay Thai, I can say without a doubt that starting here at SLC is one of the best decisions you can make.

The atmosphere at SLC Muay Thai is hands down one of the best experiences at a gym I've had. Especially the women's class. If you're a woman and have been wanting to try out Muay Thai without feeling intimidated by the men in the room, I highly recommend the Saturday class for women only. The coaching staff are very knowledgeable and supportive. Alexis, the owner, has built a great community at her gym.

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.Before finding SLC Muay Thai, I looked into a few other gyms around Salt Lake City, but they felt a bit intimidating. A lot of them focused mostly on sparring, which wasn’t really what I was after 😵.That’s why I was so happy to discover SLC Muay Thai. 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. They teach real Muay Thai, and you can feel how passionate they are about the sport.Highly recommend it to anyone who’s curious, wants to learn solid technique, and values a welcoming space.

I've tried a few gyms for Muay Thai and I can say that the level of skill, care, and passion they have here for teaching Muay Thai is unmatched! The instructors care about you and your development and the community they've created is amazing. They also have women's Muay Thai classes that create a space for women that are wanting to try martial arts to do so in a comfortable, safe environment where they're heard and supported. They also host monthly women's Muay Thai meetups where we can network and learn - and are incredibly welcoming to all skill levels. Just a 10/10 gym, if you've been wanting to try Muay Thai- this is your sign! This is your place! Don't wait, start your journey!

SLC Muay Thai is the most incredible community, and was such a welcoming and supportive environment to begin my combat sports training at the ripe age of 25. The women’s classes are so special, and Coach Alexis is so invested in her trainees regardless of level or ability. Thanks for all you do!!!

I’ve been training here about a year now and felt like it would be a good time to finally write a review. To say this place has changed my life is a massive understatement. I’ve gone through hell and back in the past year and wouldn’t have made it out the other side without this place. The training, the people, and all that comes along with it are just simply the best around and I will continue training here for as long as possible.

A great, welcoming place to train, with a variety of class times. Great for all skill levels, and great to drop in if you're traveling from out of town! They put on lots of special events and workshops that are an incredible resource if you're looking to improving your Muay Thai skills.

Just did my first class and I'm hooked. Spent years away from muay thai because I havent found a gym I love or trust. I can already tell this place is gonna be the fix. Felt so good to be back and everyone there seems awesome.

2024-02-29T13:46:55.544Z

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‘ve been training here for 5 years and I learn something new every day. You’ll be pushed out of your comfort zone, but you’ll never be made to feel uncomfortable. This place is my second home and my team is my second family.

Alexis is amazing! Great environment and instruction

I have really enjoyed the classes I've taken at SLC Muay Thai. I wanted to check out the vibe at a woman-owned muay thai gym, and I have not been disappointed. Alexis is friendly and knowledgeable, and maintains a great culture at the gym. I've enjoyed working with the other folks who attend - and I love that there is a women-only class on Saturdays. Definitely check it out!

Great people, great training, and a really fun and positive atmosphere. I would highly recommend!
