    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.

    Signed up my kids to do summer camp at First BJJ. It runs for 1 week from 8:50-1pm and you need to…read morepack lunch and water for your kids. They do pizza on the last day. For camp, the kids learn some jiu jitsu techniques but also fun activities like dodgeball and water games, to get kids active and moving. The owner, Carlos leads the kids camp. Good mix of boys and girls in the class. My girls enjoyed coming all week and now want to sign up for regular classes. All happy kids there! The owner of First BJJ has amazing experience and credentials; he has several that are worth looking into like being a 3x world champion in BJJ but my favorite story was learning how the ruler of the United Arab Emirates invited Carlos to come to UAE to teach the country BJJ and worked in Abu Dhabi for 9 years. I asked Carlos if he still keeps in touch with the royal family, "nope", what?! lol. We in Utah are very lucky to have Carlos and his gym here. Has been running 10 yrs and counting! It is a well run studio and SUPER CLEAN. They always disinfect the mats, so important since students are in close contact with people on the mats every class. Recommend this place if you want to become a proper BJJ competitor or learn for the joy of the martial art.

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

    Be very leery of what you sign up for. Prepaid for an annual membership with the assurance that if…read moreI were to move out of state I would be able to receive a refund for the prorated amount. I actually asked twice about this, as I knew it was a possibility. Fast forward 6 months later and all of a sudden that "has never been in our contracts" and a complete refusal to acknowledge the issues. While still open a few months ago several of the 6 am trainers showed up late or not at all. Otherwise the place is clean and pleasant to work out in. EDIT: their contract states "Should you permanently move your residence more than 30 miles from the Club, you may cancel this agreement." and "If this Agreement is canceled in accordance with this Cancellation Policy, and if you have prepaid any sum, your prepayment shall be refunded to you minus the reasonable value of any Club services you have actually received or $25, whichever is less" Cannot be clearer than that, and this is their own form contract

    Kickboxing is my newest found addiction, and Title knows how to support my addiction well…read more I already had some experience, and boxing gloves when I came in, but I didn't have the necessary-for-class hand wraps. Thankfully, the Groupon I grabbed came with 30 days + hand wraps. I was able to mix or match hand wrap colors (I did one hot blue and the other hot pink - duh), and they had the instructor help me with wrapping my hands, and also talking me through how to do it. Already a good experience. Title is set up differently than other gyms that offer kickboxing - it is a huge room with a ton of bags hanging, equally spaced from each other. They have a lot of lockers in which you can store your stuff (free of locks), and it seems that footwear for classes is per attendee choice - some people do barefoot, others keep their shoes on. Previous gyms have had me go barefoot, so at Title, I choose to use shoes. The classes are fabulous. I've done both 45 and 60 min classes, and I love them. They are definitely fast paced, and if you don't already have a handle on the different type of hits and kicks, I'd definitely ask someone during your first time in. The classes can be interactive with other people in class, sometimes you are hitting padding held by the instructor, sometimes you are doing running/punching drills between the rows, but most of the time, you're going hard on your bag. Title is conveniently on 21st south, off 7th east, and I haven't had a problem parking to this point. I'm on the search for gym memberships, and this one is definitely in the running for me!
