Sierra MMA

I really enjoyed my time at Sierra MMA. I primarily train out in California and was in Sandy, Utah visiting for a couple weeks and had heard about this gym from a friend. I attended the Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes during my stay. All staff, instructors, and students were very welcoming, friendly, and respectful. Of the classes I took, Pedro and Joel were the instructors and you can immediately tell they both have extensive experience. Their instruction, approach, knowledge, and interaction are all reasons for anyone to come in and experience this gym. If you are looking for a place to train permanently or if you are just in town and want to get good quality work in, you can’t go wrong at Sierra MMA. Thank you Pedro for the hospitality, I will definitely be back in during my next visit to Utah.

I'm in my third month of training at Sierra MMA, and I can confidently say this place is awesome. The gym is not only inclusive and welcoming, but it’s also a lot of fun to train here. Pedro, the coach, is deeply passionate about teaching and truly cares about helping his students improve. He strikes the perfect balance between pushing you to be your best and providing the support you need to get there. If you’re in the Salt Lake area and looking for an MMA gym, I highly recommend giving Sierra MMA a try! You won’t be disappointed.

I am in Utah for 3 days and wanted to get some jiu-jitsu in, I messaged Sierra and they reply really quick, very welcoming. The owner is amazing, very attent and cordial as well as encouraging. The students were very welcoming too. Over all was an amazing experience, whether you live in utah or just visiting make sure you pay them a visit!!!

Could not speak more highly about Sierra MMA. Before joining the gym, Pedro (Owner) was always willing to strike a conversation and drop some knowledge with me at a tournament, open mat, or even when I had a drop in at Sierra for a class. This is by far the most welcoming gym I've ever been apart of and I couldn't of asked for a better environment to train out of. Also, very female friendly. I brought my girlfriend here for 1 BJJ class and she was hooked! We both have been training here for almost a full year and have zero plans on leaving!

I’ve been taking private sessions with Joel Haro for some time now and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. He a phenomenal coach who is goal oriented toward your success and he’s completely invested in seeing you succeed. It’s amazing having a coach with that much level of talent mix with patience. The gym is a great environment, it’s very welcoming and the high level of coaching makes it a no brainer.
