My boys have been doing the kids boxing class and since I was there anyway I figured I might as well use the time to attend the Burnout Kickboxing class. I mountain bike and cycle regularly and my main fitness goal is to lose weight to help improve my hill climbing speed on the bike. Kickboxing is a high intensity full body workout and I feel like it has improved my core strength and stability. It really has become the cherry on top of all my regular training, plus its a ton of fun to punch and kick things. Heather Mills has a very fun and positive coaching style which helps motivate me to always work hard. I never fail to leave the gym dripping sweat with a huge smile on my face.

I love the instructor and the people there. Sione is awesome. Overall the staff is friendly and great. The only reason I am giving 4 and not 5 stars is that the owner needs to be more responsive. He doesnt respond to phone calls. Getting a response on email has also been difficult.

I was interested in kickboxing but a nervous to try. I signed up for a class with Ultimate Combat Training Center, I took my first class today and wow, I instantly fell in love with the place! The staff made me feel welcome and comfortable from the second I walked in the doors. I love the environment also of their spot, it is open, clean and had quality equipment. I will be signing up for a membership and cant wait to join this community!

This gym has an array of physical activities ranging from boxing to kick boxing with highly skilled instructors and athletes. I am treading on 2.5 years, gaining confidence with each class! I highly recommend Olivias strength & conditioning class if you are looking to tone and stay healthy and or Siones boxing class to gain that inner confidence and speed!

I’ve only done boxing with Sione, but he’s a really great teacher. An actual professional boxer with experience. The other people in class are also very welcoming, and are helpful especially if you are new and need some questions answered.

I’m so glad we found this gym! They have best staff; highly trained, friendly and attentive. They have classes for the whole family. My daughters and I have been training here for 4 years. Not only have they developed excellent skills in boxing and Muay Thai, they have also become more confident and part of a very supportive community.

I have been going to UCTC for about 2 years now and hands down best decision I have ever made. All the trainers are amazing and will take the time to get to know you as a person, teach you the right technique and they are all extremely patient. I have gained amazing friends from this gym, it has become a second home to me. The new gym is amazing, very clean and organized. I would highly recommend UCTC to anyone who is ready for a change and willing to learn.

This gym has some of the most patient and motivating trainers. I love their boxing classes for coach Sione. He knows the art of boxing and is passionate to teach it to you. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for boxing without Sione as my coach. I’ve also attended Olivia’s strength and conditioning classes and have seen such improvement in my form and my body. Her classes as well as her park workouts have helped me gain the endurance I need for boxing and feel overall strong. I’ve learned to read my body and she’s just excellent at training you to get where you want to be. Overall, love this gym! Great vibe and customer service. It’s like a big family.

WARNING!! WARNING!!! Mike is terrible to work with. He will speak over you and strong arm you to death.We wanted to cancel our membership after 3 months of non use due to COVID19.Mike said you can not cancel his membership!!! Even during a pandemic. He let us know credit agencies will be involved. I laughed at him....How can someone be so callus during a pandemic? I don’t know... I will NEVER send anyone to this facility again.I guess Mike feels like our rent payment is as important as keeping a customer!!! Mandating a customer!!Bye bye bye!! You will not get anymore money and in fact, see you in small claims...

This is a really great gym because of all of the different classes offered in one place, the Instructors are all great and friendly. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for any of the people at the front desk. When you walk into an establishment it is basic customer service 101 to A) Smile B) Make eye contact and C) Welcome or at the very least say hello to every customer that walks in. Honestly, if you hate people, please don’t opt for a front desk job Anywhere, as it is absolutely awful for business to have an unwelcoming, unfriendly front desk staff (you are the first impression of the business, essentially the face of it as well). Please ensure that the people offering memberships are also well informed of what the memberships entail and assist potential members in making the best choice, not just expect each to figure it out and take their money. Once again, the instructors are all awesome, friendly and professional - It is simply the front desk that is not personable or friendly.

My wife and I both joined about 2 weeks ago! It has been nothing but great. Every instructor is personable and cares about you. They will make sure that you have good form and know what your doing. I love that we are all there for different reasons and no one feels judged at all! You are welcomed by not only the staff but by all the other people there to work out. It really does feel like one big family! I get a good work out every single time and it doesnt get boring at all!

I was getting really bored with my gym so my friend said that I go with her to Ultimate Combat Training Centers kickboxing classes. I enjoyed it so much that I quit my gym membership and take kickboxing classes regularly now! Ive noticed results in just a few weeks and I feel better than ever! I love that Im learning self defense moves while getting a great workout. I highly recommend to all!!

I burn an average of 650-700 calories an hour in the Sunday morning class with Matt W. It’s a solid push for whatever level of fitness you may be. He’ll take you to church! The instructors, who are always friendly and helpful, break down the combos for beginners in both the Fitness kickboxing and the Muay Thai classes, which focus on more form and combat specificity.

I moved in to Salt Lake recently with my wife from Kuwait. I usually am a very active person and love working out. I drove past the gym one day and decided to give it a try. Next thing was I got a years membership and I have absolutely ZERO regrets.The trainers are awesome. The classes are so much fun, and each trainer will push you to your ultimate best. I am starting to notice a great difference and most importantly I feel so healthy. Everyone is very friendly, supportive and awesome. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to get in shape, meet amazing people and have fun along the way. Its a great place to meet new friends and have fun. Its more than a community, its a family.

I have been working out regularly at a large national gym for over a year now and have been able to loose some weight and and get in better condition, however my results had begun to plateau. After only a few workouts at UCTC with the I Love Kickboxing classes I experienced significant weight loss and I am finding more strength when doing my weight training. These workouts are awesome and really target my core and and cardiovascular conditioning. They have also improved my balance and swing on the golf course. I highly recommend these classes for anyone, young to old, male or female. They also make a great couples experience.

This gym is becoming my sanctuary! Love the trainers and the people! Awesome workouts and a huge support of your goals. They really care and treat you like family! I have been going to I Love Kickboxing since February 18, 2016 3-5 times a week. Kickboxing is my new favorite hobby, (Im probably a bit addicted!) I have also tried the Muay Thia and the boxing classes too.... love them! I knew my hard work was really paying off when I went to go lift weights with a friend of mine 2 months later and have her notice the definition in my arms and be able to rock the hanging leg raise machine because of the strength in my abs I have been developing! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wants to get an incredible workout and feel like a bad ass while doing it!!!!!

I have been coming here since last may. I was a bit nervous because I have a hip condition, but they helped to develop exercises that I could do that would strengthen my hip. It has become a second home and I feel a lot stronger inside and out because I took a chance on something new. BTW: I have no hip pain anymore and have more stability when I move because I took the time to strengthen the area with their help.I love the new schedule because it provides so many opportunities for me to go.Its my new mini-family that helps and supports us in all that we do, not just in our exercising. Its more than a gym, its a big fun crazy family!

Review №48

In March I asked if I could cancel anytime after I sign up if I had hardship. They told me that I could and I asked again and told him this is the selling point to sign up for me . I signed up three memberships for $250 a month and within two months I had to drop the third membership but they wouldnt let me. I try to find someone else to take the membership but was unable to so I continue to pay it for six months . after being there for four months I had a shoulder injury and could not go I asked to cancel my membership and they said they cant, they can suspend it but I would still have to pay . After going to the doctor I found out that I would need surgery to go back so I tried to cancel my membership again and they told me to get documentation from my doctor be able to cancel it. I was working with a manager and I got her the documentation after she told me that she would only be able to let me cancel one membership. I was getting frustrated and I told her that the only reason I signed up was for the fact that I can cancel at anytime and now I am being lied to or no one want to take accountability. I asked to have Mike the owner call me and she said she would but I never received a call back I have called and left messages for Mike to call me and still have not received contact. I have been in contact with their billing company which are now making me go through extra steps to cancel my membership and continue to charge me. at this point I have been trying to cancel my membership since August and my wife doesnt work anymore I cannot afford it and they are telling me to go back to the doctor and get more documentation filled out. I feel that I have been lied to and I am being robbed and they continue to ask me for money that they do not deserve.Bottom line this company will tell you what you want to hear to sign you up all they care about is your money and they wont hesitate to rip you off.Only thing they have going good for them is that they have a great MMA trainer his name is Ramsey.

If I could give a ZERO I would. My fiance showed up for a groupon deal for 3 training sessions. She was pressured into signing an agreement with her card information in order to secure a discount but that if she didnt return within the 3 day period she wouldnt be charged. Were moving soon so at best she would have only had the membership for a month. So we decided it would be best to not go through with it. Well, she didnt go back and now we have been charged $125 for a membership (that was supposed to be only $100 because of the promotion). Now we have to fight with them to get a refund for money that was never supposed to be drafted anyways.

I joined UCTC in July 2018 and opted for a 6 months class since they offered a discount. However, due to personal reasons I could not continue after a few days. I tried reaching out to them to stop billing me for 6 months since I barely went for few days. They said No to that, which I understand since I signed a 6 months agreement. Whats frustrating is that their Billing department can only be reached through email and it took 28 days to get a reply from the Billing department and they said I will be charged for 7 months (I dint realize it is 6 months after the first month). Now I am being charged for the 8th month and no replies from the Billing department even after multiple emails.

My name is David, and I am currently looking for a place to learn Militarized Combative training without having to join the military. Kind of like Bill Wolfes training in Alberta Canada (I would name a US company, but I do not want to advertise within this review). But as I was perusing the reviews, I realized that Jack Frost and Andres Campos gave reviews that were a little unfair. So, I wanted to give a 5-star because I admire the response from the owner, that looks and sounds genuine. I have never been in a physical quarrel in my life, except for against my brother, and I feel like now is the time to learn some things, in addition to dancing, which I am terrible at. I am a patriot through and through and kind of want to get good at ground fighting, and self-defense... thoughts? Recommendations?

Have been going now for about 3 months. I love it. Great workout, lost of different classes, quality management, quality people. Not sure what the jerk off who gave it 1 star and said nothing is here for. And the other guy who is clearly a competitor or some other self serving ahole, should not be allowed by Google to rate a place he has never been.The owners and instructors are awesome people who are kind and care about their customers. I have seen nothing to suggest otherwise. If you do come in and take a class, ask anyone there what they think, I am pretty sure I am not alone on this..Just dont listen to some loser who has never been there.

Madeleine Catherine Martins reviewed Ultimate Combat Training Center — 1 starJust now ·NEVER give them your card information. They will pressure you for a same day deal and let you think about it only to send your card info to this company in PA called member solutions (1.5 review) and they will run your card. Todd the trainer there have pressured me to signed up to get a cheaper deal and told me that if I didnt show up there physically 3 days later ( of when my groupon deal would expire they would NEVER charge my account, and honor the contract I signed because that would expire. It was all very confusing and I cant believe I trusted him with his mislead information) Send my refund of $125.00 immediately. Owner Mike. You know what you guys do to hook people in and that is not okay. I will take further actions if the amount is not reflecting in my account in 24 hours.

Review №63

Good for women just trying to get into shape, but it’s not for the serious martial artist. Plus, the owner uses bait-and-switch promos to get people signed up.Brazilian Ju-Jitsu: their promo says three classes AND a uniform for $20. This is a straight up lie. The person working the desk said, and I quote, “that seems crazy, a Gi is like $100.” When pressed, the owner said he’d give me a karate uniform. Why would I want that for BJJ? It would rip in the first class. Plus, the classes I attended were taught by a low-level instructor who was completely uninterested in mentoring his students. There are FAR better BJJ schools in the valley if you’re serious.Boxing: the evening instructors were nice, but often late to class and workouts were made up on the spot. The morning classes were not tough enough—not something you want in a boxing class. Plus, dude-bros who aren’t in the class will stand around and make fun of people working out.The only positive is Olivia, who holds this place together, but because she’s so overworked the gym often feels chaotic and unprofessional.

Review №67

I️ went in to take advantage of a gift that was given to me via Groupon, it was a package for 5 classes. After the workout, there was a month to month “package” you could buy for $250 a month. I️ thought I️ was a great deal. I️ specifically asked if it was a month to month because I️ was in town for work and didn’t know when I would be leaving and the trainer who was selling the “package” told me that they would love to have me for as long as possible. I️ signed up. I️ was debited the $250. After a couple days, my work had me transported back to Florida. I️ called and asked for not a refund for the month, because I did plan to use it, I️ just couldn’t. What I️ did call for was for them to not charge me the next month seeing as I️ wouldn’t be able to come back. It was “no problem”. A few months have gone by and I️ receive a call from collection agency saying I️ owe them $892 and if I️ don’t they will send this to the credit bureau. So now I️ am almost $1000 in debt because I was lied to by someone that was obviously trying to hit a quota. I️ have requested to speak to the owner and have never received a call back. I️ did however speak to someone st the west valley location and was told pretty much that it happens all the time, they sign you up to reach their sign up goal, tell you what they want to say, and then screw you over. So Mike, or anyone who can help me with this situation, I️ would like to be contacted on how to fix this. Because this is ridiculous that just because someone wants to hit a goal for sales, they would lie to a customer and potentially ruin my credit. I️ hope this isn’t what this company stands for. I️ will gladly remove my review once I️ am contacted.Side note: I️ was signed up at the sugarhouse location.

I have never been treated more poorly as a customer. I went for my free trial class and decided to sign up, they never acknowledged the current online promotions they have, instead offered a highly priced membership under the condition that I could cancel if I moved or had a really good reason. Shortly after, 4% of all employees at my work were let go and when I tried canceling I was treated like a liar by a very rude representative. Currently working with an investigator to free me from my contract but they just keep on billing, biggest mistake of 2016 for me was ever signing up!!

Review №75

Its another McDojo. Guys, fitness kickboxing is not a martial art. Also, a blue belt should not be teaching a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school, 10th planet experience or not. A jiu jitsu instructor should be purple belt or higher (it takes 1-2 years to earn a blue belt, but 5-7 years to earn a purple belt; there is a large disparity in experience between the two ranks. Ultimately, you want to find a school with a black belt teaching, because they have 15-20 years in the martial art).

Review №77

Let me say this, the building is nice with good equipment and the tools you need to train hard and get the job done. The front desk lady though, dont even remember her name, she put a bad taste in my mouth from the beginning. I dropped in on the place on recommendation and felt alienated almost immediately.Im going to tell you why I felt this way. I came to the school only to check out the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program. I informed the front desk lady of this...maybe her name was Olivia? Anyway, I informed her that Im new in town and just wanted to see the class and watch which she somehow interpreted as me wanting to train that day. I clarify that no, I just want to observe the class. She gets it finally, then gives me a tour of the gym, which is a nice place!!! However I dont care about the rest, Im just here for the BJJ. She introduces me to a female instructor who seemed nice but seemed like she felt she had more important things to do. Then I was introduced to a black belt who was teaching fundamentals and he gave me the treatment I expect when looking at BJJ schools. He was courteous, curious and engaging. I observed the class and it was a solid BJJ setting with a good vibe.Overall, the issue I had with the place really was the vibe. As a long time BJJ practitioner who has trained at gyms all over the world, the vibe I got here from the front desk lady was one of pure business, a bit of what came off as stuck up arrogance and total cluelessness to BJJ etiquette for practitioners visiting a gym for the first time wanting to meet fellow jiujiteiros and what not haha. I would recommend the place based off what I saw, but based off of the sterile business focus vibe and negative vibe i received from front desk lady, its not somewhere I feel Id want to train personally. So take this review for what its worth. Seems like a great place to train and if you like it, then hey, go for it, OSSSSSSS

This is one of the best gyms I have signed up for. They offer a variety of classes such as kickboxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian jitsu, etc. I have only been trying the kickboxing classes and they are amazing. The instructors are very friendly and always push your limits. Each instructor has their own style and unique personality but they all share the same values - making sure the classes are fun, challenging and motivational! They also have gray playlists that cheer you up! You will see significant change in your body and strength after a couple months.The first class is free so you should give it a try! Im sure you wont be able to resist and keep coming back ;)

Review №81

I wanted to give myself a full month of coming to this gym before giving it a thorough review. Before coming to this gym, Ive noticed that the majority of the negative reviews have been about the membership pricing and the contracts people signed. I will address that but I think the more important part of this review is actually how the classes are and how well they are. Ive only been doing BJJ and Muay Thai so here we go.BJJ: I did not come in with experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. However, the staff were welcoming and also the more advanced students are very kind and helpful as well. It takes a good three months for things to start sticking and to start being able to use the techniques in a productive way. So I am taking classes almost everyday or 3 times a week to be able to actually learn it. The BJJ classes here are the No Gi and Gi class. The instructors are knowledgeable as well. They are happy to show you how to correctly do the technique. I also like the fact that the latest class for BJJ is at 8, so people getting off work late or whatever can come in and get some grappling in. The majority of the BJJ students are male, and it is a male dominated martial art, but dont let that intimidate you from doing this, because it is very fun and rewarding.Muay Thai: So I do have experience in Muay Thai from Easton in Denver. Ive only done Muay Thai for two years at Easton so my critique of Ultimates program is going to align with how Easton is run. Personally, I think Ultimates Muay Thai program and the way that it is ran could improve. I think that they should separate the newer people into a beginners Muay Thai/kickboxing class like Easton does, that way we can avoid injuries and improper form. I noticed that in Ultimates Muay Thai classes, the beginners or newer people struggle with holding the Thai pads which can be dangerous. Also I think its a good foundation, if there were a beginners class, that the newer people can learn hot to kick and punch properly. I notice some people still dont kick or punch properly so i would love to just have more opportunities and workshops to fix those things. Even after two years I struggle with those things. At Easton, they incorporated a lot of Muay Thai in their kickboxing programs, and then once students felt good then they moved onto Muay Thai. I also took their sparring class, and it was okay, however I did not know the level of difficulty and intensity people were going for and I found out quick that this was an intense sparring session. I would love for them to perhaps introduce a tech sparring course to ease people into sparring all out because again, I think it can pose a danger for someone who is under trained. I am being bias here but I would love for them to adopt Eastons training program but thats just me! LolMembership: I was properly explained about the membership and pricing by the manager and understood what I was getting into. I think a lot of the misconceptions come from miscommunication and lack of speaking up when there is an issue. You sign a contract, so make sure to read it carefully. I know gyms in general have a bad reputation because of sketchy contracts but I didnt see that happening at this gym. The pricing is also pretty reasonable for a martial arts gym, and they offer a lot of classes. Obviously it is cheaper if you do the 12 month contract, they want to lock you in so your a member for life kind of deal.Overall, the gym is great. Its family oriented, people are friendly, and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. They also recently expanded their space so theres a lot more room to play.

This place has a great atmosphere the people are great very motivating people I started here about a year ago and have lost over 60 pounds and am now in the best shape of my life. The Muay Thai class with nick is so awesome you get a great workout plus learn how to defend your self and with Freddy I believe that is how you spell his name he breaks down each movement of strikes to improve your technical performance, the jiu Kitsu class is also a great experience learning to defend your self on the ground and really improves your core strength, the Boxing class with sione is really really fun it plus it is a great workout. And the owner is a really great guy mike and aj had made an amazing place where it feels like a second home and a really big bad ass family:).

Best place ever! Ive been training here for about six months and the changes Ive seen in my body is incredible, not only have I lost weight but Im also getting definition! Attending any of the classes offered here (Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, MMA) are much more fun than going to a regular gym with the same ol routine. The trainers are extremely helpful, friendly, and motivating and the members are friendly and encouraging, as well. Not only are you getting a great workout, but youre meeting new friends too! The schedule at UCTC allows you to get your workout in at anytime of the day. You can start your day at UCTC and end it there too! They also hold theme nights once a month that you can dress up for. Its super fun to go to! If youre looking for a new, high-energy workout, I highly recommend UCTC! Be prepared to get your sweat on and have a great time while doing it!

I have mild cerebral palsy and I suffered a traumatic brain injury a few years ago. Some of my muscles are tight and spastic, while others are paralyzed. My doctor recommended that I exercise to increase my range of motion and to stretch my muscles.I started exercising on my own, but eventually I stopped because I lost interest and drive. I started searching for an exercise facility that would accept beginners, have exercise classes available, and have trainers that would motivate me to continue to get stronger. UCTC has all of these characteristics...and more!I called UCTC to try out a free kickboxing class. Todd, one of the trainers, answered the phone. I explained to him that I was interested in trying out the class and explained my situation to him. He enthusiastically welcomed me to try out the class and see if it was a fit for me.Even though I read that UCTC welcomes people with all abilities, I was still a little hesitant. However, my fear changed once I walked in the door. Todd met me with gleaming eyes and a big smile on his face. He showed me the basic moves and some modifications that I could make on the bags. He was excited for me to start the class! Members of all ages and abilities started walking in to take the class. I already felt welcomed and at home!Since I have been taking the kickboxing class, I have gotten stronger and faster. On my first day of class, I was only able to touch the bottom plastic base of the bag with my foot. Now, I am able to balance, turn my hip, and kick the bag. Initially, I was only able to touch the bag with my gloves. Now, I am able to put force behind my punches...and I am able to extend my tight arm muscles farther. I am excited to continue and get even stronger!AJ, Mike, Kourtney, Matt and Todd (the trainers) have all been awesome. Each one has their own teaching style, but they all give us a hard workout. When I feel like I cant perform one more pushup or punch the bag anymore, their encouragement helps me push through the pain and to finish strong. Todd has taken me under his wing. When he is teaching the class, he tells me that I have improved in a particular technique and to push it up to the next level.AJ and Mike, the owners, have made me feel like family. They have built up a community environment at UCTC. There are theme nights through the franchise I Love Kickboxing, they offer fruit and smoothies sometimes to members after class, and they encourage trainers and members to dialogue with and to support each other. AJ and Mike strive to strengthen UCTCs members...physically and mentally.

Absolutely love this place! Awesome for any fitness level! Not just a gym its a family! Equipped for all your training needs, if you want to do MMA, boxing, BJJ, muay thai, you can get it all from the UCTC. Every class is like having your own personal trainer with out paying 60+ dollars an hour for it. Amazing results and you will love every minute, even when you feel like dying.
