Of all the boxes I have been too, this is by far the boxiest. Granted, this is the only box I have been to but it’s so big, black and cavernous I can’t imagine there is a better box. Within, there are many heavy weights forged of the finest iron and sturdy bars with which to carry them to and fro across the gently padded flooring. There are also large metal racks where increasingly adventurous and ever-evolving methods of torture are inflicted upon paying customers by the kindly and aptly named Pain Agents who shout words of encouragement and rage as they sip on cool, salty glasses of their victim’s tears. Other unique attributes include many colorful ropes for jumping, a gong one may ring when one achieves a PR ‘personal record’ (having never achieved a personal record I cannot attest to the musical abilities of said gong), and many educational posters informing one how to properly receive a snatch. But perhaps the greatest trait of Factum is that it features a genuine Martin Door, invented by the late great Dave Martin of Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. Martin created the patented ‘Finger Shield Door System’ which protects sensitive digits from crushing, mangling and hangnails. The genuine Martin Door may be raised on hot days to allow cool air into the box and to allow the screams of the damned within to escape into the local neighborhood. Please beware of Factum’s proprietor who has the eyes of a White Walker. I don’t trust him, nor should you. The rest of the Pain Agents seem to be agreeable enough. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS…it’s a good gym. Nary a douchebag to be found. I’m still not gluten free, paleo, and WOD is not part of my daily vernacular so, I approve.

I have been training here since 3 months now. So far journey is amazing.I was not sure i will be able to survive crossfit. Not knowing anything about Crossfit, weightlifting, or much about fitness in general. Phil(Coach) got me up to speed in no time and once I experienced the benefits after a few weeks I was hooked. Three months later I feel stronger and healthier than Ive ever been and now get weirdly excited about some of crossfit moments and other things I didnt know existed a few months ago. Phil knows his stuff. Amazing environment great people. I feel if you just want to look good want to have good looking biceps or specific muscle join gym but if you want to be healthier in and out i would say try crossfit. If you want to be in good shape want good endurance like sweat want to kill your self do favor on your self give it a try.

I have a high school kid who wanted to get practice before his wrestling season started. He had his own money CASH for 3 months. Would not let him sign up unless he had 6 months cash. He is a high school kid, and he couldnt do 6 months because his wrestling season would start In 2 and a half months. They said he could go month to month on a credit//debit card which he does not have. The fact that a kid with cash cant go in and get service because he cant do 6 months and doesnt have a credit/ debit card is absurd!!! He works hard to earn and save his money to spend at your establishment. He also had friends that wanted to train before the season started. I will definitely let ALL the parents know of the poor customer service my son received at Factum!!

Factum is great! As a beginner lifter, I have been going to Factum for a couple of months. I couldn’t have picked a better place to continue my journey towards better health and fitness. The supportive and friendly environment allows me to feel comfortable while still maintaining focus on my goals. Factum has a clean facility with all the equipment you need. The coaches are knowledgeable, approachable, and patient. I am constantly learning about form and technique, which is important to me. I always look forward to going to crossfit knowing I am getting stronger week by week! If you are looking for a gym, Factum is the place! I would highly recommend this gym to any level athlete.

Factum is by far the best all-around gym in salt lake county!! (and I’ve been to most of the gyms around here). If you want to get into shape and push yourself, this is the place for you. Workouts are tough but the trainers really care about your goals and you WILL see major improvement in your fitness in days! Phil and Eric are professional trainers who will teach you proper technique (whether it’s Crossfit or MMA) and will make sure you’re motivated while doing it! So if you’re looking for that gym where everybody knows your name, genuinely cares about your needs and have an amazing workout at the same time (and all that for the best price in the area!), Factum is for you!

I have been thoroughly impressed with the facility and environment at Factum. I started a little more than a month ago with no experience with weights. Not only did the owner help with every aspect of weight lifting but the people who go there are always willing to help and encourage me and everyone else on. This is not like the big box gym where you go in and ignore all the people around you. No, this is a place where everyone is helping everyone and you can believe me it has been very helpful to be encouraged and to encourage those around. If you afraid of weights, dont be, and just come in and check it out. At the least give it one day, Im sure you will be hooked.

Ive trained at several different MMA gyms and I have looked at a lot more. This is by far the best deal I have ever found on an MMA gym. They have Quality Boxing Classes with real boxing drills and instructors that are cool, down to earth and very knowledgeable that take the time to personally work with everyone in the class to break down and improve our technique. There are great No Gi Jiu jitsu classes several times a week and a bunch of Crossfit classes 6 days a week. Unlimited classes with NO contracts!! I also havent seen any egos at this gym. Everyone Ive met seems cool and respectful.

I love working out at Factum. The price is unbeatable but I keep going back because of how non intimidated and comfortable I feel there. The instructors break down moves you are supposed to be doing and explain them in a way that beginners understand. They will push you to help you achieve your goals but cheer you on when you feel you cant go any further. I have been doing the boxing and crossfit classes and its nice that there are other girls there to partner up with when you need someone around your size. I high recommend Factum to anyone looking to get in shape or try something new.

Factum is a real find. Been training at Factum for nearly two years. Eric the lead MMA instructor is experienced, a champion MMA fighter, knowledgeable, patient, a good motivator, and skilled at breaking down concepts in a way you can understand and master. The other athletes there are welcoming...a real friendly, team atmosphere. Picked up BJJ in my early 50s and its changed my confidence and my body. I look forward to each coming training session. The CrossFit side is always humming with folks pushing each other and enjoying their workouts.
