If you want to know self defense in the SLC area this is THE place to be! I lived in SLC for one year and while I was there I tried lots of different types of gyms, but this place became one of my favorite places by far. The owners are super friendly and very involved in everyones success at the gym. Coach Ramsey and coach Marco speak from first hand experience of what works and what doesnt when it comes to self defense. To me theres nothing more important.If you are new heres a little information that may help as well. Ive been boxing and practicing BJJ for 5 years, its always a little scary and intimidating going to class even for me today. Its important to surround yourself with a community like The Pit to make sure you feel comfortable training through the years.

Great gym for beginners and people who know there way around a bag. Super fun environment,with an old school feel that really invites a go get it attitude

First time doing American Jiu-Jitsu with Ramsey and I highly recommend this place. Great atmosphere and friendly community!

This place is great ive been doing jujitsu for along time here and not one did I feel disrespected or lonely they feel welcoming and friendly

Best place in the city to workout. Good views, good people, great workouts. You cant beat it.

Great gym environment with experienced trainers.

Highly do not recommend if you have any interest in actually getting into shape or learning fighting techniques. The only thing these guys know how to do worse than fitness or combat training is how to treat customers with respect. That is probably why they make their money from small children whose parents do not know any better. This is an after school baby sitting facility, do not be fooled by how they market themselves.Fairly new gym, would be surprised to still see them in business a year from now.

I came to train at the pit from Canada, and I’m really glad I did! Ramsey, Court and the rest of the team/members are super welcoming. They make you feel right at home, the classes are top notch, the gym is clean and they have a great competition team. I recommend this place for anyone! Whether you’re looking to simply get in shape or compete, this is the place to go!

I have been at The Pit SLC from day one. I will preface by saying I am in my forties, have always been active, had a personal trainer for years off and on when training for marathons. I have 3 kids, a full time job and find it difficult to schedule time to workout. The reason I started the Pit Fit class was because it runs the same time as the kids Jujitsu. This gym has all levels of fighters, and the classes are structured accordingly. The instructors are professional fighters, and each one has a wealth of knowledge. They teach the class they specialize in, and correct form throughout the class. Ramsey, Dom, Sarah teach the majority of the classes. I have seen fighters from around the world come to this gym for additional instruction before UFC and PFL fights. The gym is VERY clean, bags, weights, and training equipment are in good shape. Ramsey promotes a respect for the sport and everyone training in the gym. I have grown as a person and individual with the support of this gym. The workouts require much physical and mental effort. Each class is one hour, and are back to back, and many choose to stay for 2-3 classes a night. The fight team are current rostered fighters.

One year ago me would get whipped by right now me. Big thanks to the team, y’all are good folks and it’s obvious that they care.

Another great class today! Thanks Ramsey, Sarah, and Dom for helping me out with knee recovery and overall getting me back into shape. Serious fighters here (not me but pretty much everyone else).

Ramsey, Dom, and Sarah are the best. We love coming here, and our kids get to come as well. The community is great, and we always leave exhausted!

The Pit is a great place to train. A really solid schedule of classes that covers everything from fitness to MMA. Ramsey is super friendly, approachable and great at motivating while giving top notch instruction on technique.

Come in and train with us.
