From the reviews
Best gym and trainers ever! I've found this gem of a gym in the beginning of year 2020, in the midst of a harsh winter. Few people were going there at that time. I started to train with Thiagao, Physical Education professor and personal trainer. The results were unbelievable!
The gym stays clean all day long, even during busy times. Love the class variety and friendly staff. Worth every penny.
Evolution Fitness feels like the kind of place where you actually want to show up. The energy is upbeat, the staff is super friendly, and the classes—especially Zumba and Step Aerobic HIT—make workouts feel fun instead of stressful.
Evolution Fitness offers more than just a workout – it’s a full experience. The Total Body Conditioning classes are dynamic and keep you moving the entire time. I appreciate the trainers’ attention to form and their ability to make fitness fun. It’s the perfect blend of challenge and motivation.!!
New to kickboxing? Start at Evolution Fitness
Evolution Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Evolution Fitness
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
