Carlos Santos and his team are the best in Utah. My family has been attending this gym for years now, and we love it!

This is a certified Gracie school with knowledgeable instructors with great personalities and a…read moregood group of regular adult students (I don't know what the junior classes are like). The place is clean, and the mats regularly sanitized, and there is good parking in the back. The schedule makes for a full calendar, instead of some kind of Tuesday Thursday thing like a lot of other places. They have regular classes every night and alternating mornings for both beginners and master cycle members. I was looking for a place to work out that could maximize my weekly schedule. I researched a lot of places in SLC including styles that I am much more familiar with before deciding to try this school. Really, my main concern was finding a school that was well run that had a schedule with classes every night. That meant that there had to be instructors AND students at the school on as many nights as possible. So, I can't say I had many preconceived ideas about the Gracie style before checking them out. I have since been impressed with Ryan and Aidan and their easy teaching style. While I now realize that each class is a well defined product of the Gracie system, you still have to have a connection with your students to engage the class and make it fun. These guys deliver. If you haven't checked out a Gracie school before, or you want to get your start in the martial arts with a super well managed style, then this is really the place to be. A month later, I am raising this to five stars. I am a huge fan of Ryan and Aiden's style of teaching, and I've even lost 12 pounds.

I am in town for a convention and I train Jiujitsu at Island Jiujitsu in Hawaii. I showed up to a…read morebasic adult class with some brand new guys in it. There were plenty white belts and the instructor was a blue belt. He started with text book self defense for guillotine and some good basic arm bar from mount details. His instruction was thorough and he addressed the questions from the class well. I liked that he wasn't shaken by having a higher belt in his class and he catered to the beginners as it is a beginner class (fundamentals are key). I would also give credit to whoever has been training Logan because his lessons are clear and easy to follow. I hope to get back for an advanced class and possibly some sparring. No doubt these are Gracie details being handed down.

I have been attending classes, on and off, since july 2019. I'm an amateur that is taking boxing…read moreclasses just to stay in shape. Jalel, boxing instructor, has always made me feel welcome, I've never felt singled out or ashamed of missing weeks, sometimes months, at a time. Whether you are a professional or just trying to get in shape, Jalel will always make sure you get some of his time and knowledge that fits your level. The class attendees themselves have always been smiling and full of life, again reinforcing the welcoming feeling, much like the rest of the team that works there. Which I think is HUGE for those with self confidence, or weight issues. It's an odd feeling for someone that has those issues. You are your worst enemy, you feel bad in your own skin when you walk into ANY gym. Yet at Ultimate Boxing, you feel like they see through the outside and look at you as a peer. Always respecting. Always kind. Always there to help you on your path. I would even go as far as recommending them as a form of mental therapy for that reason alone! Thank you again for being open, warm, tolerant and just simply a fun location for all ages.

A family member had a membership here for several months, and the classes he attended with Olivia…read morewere good. However, a number of months ago, this business closed their location and claimed to move to another location. He went to this supposed new location at the claimed new address but there is no fight gym in this shopping center. My family member wanted to cancel his membership since the business doesn't exist anymore. So he called to cancel his membership and Xavier told him to email Heather to cancel it. He emailed Heather multiple times to cancel it, and there was never a response. He went back to the claimed new address again to talk to someone in person, but there still was no such business in this shopping center. He continued to be charged monthly for a membership. His membership was always month-to-month by the way, which was set up by Heather and approved by Mike, the owner, who were both present in person when my family member signed up. This business that is apparently not in business anymore continued charging him, and he ultimately lost several hundred dollars.
