From the reviews
I had to leave Evolution MMA because I am moving states which leaves me bummed out to have to cancel my membership at this MMA gym. This is a truly great facility. Great culture and amazing coaches. As a white belt in BJJ I found the fundamental classes to be extraordinarily beneficial.
My boys and I have been training bjj in Alliance and we are privileged to be part of this gym. All the coaches are not only experienced and knowledgeable but inspiration to us all.
Dropped in for a Gi class while on a business trip and had a great experience. Actually did 2 classes: fundamentals and advanced (I am a blue belt… felt a bitlike newbie in advanced with only white belt and me.
Evolution is one of a kind it’s not a super fancy gym, but it is a gym with good people dedicated instructors and where you actually learn . I can’t speak highly enough of my experience training with Evolution. I gained so much knowledge and strength while training there. Thank you Jason , TJ, Dean!
New to kickboxing? Start at Evolution MMA Chicago - Schaumburg
Evolution MMA Chicago - Schaumburg 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 MMA Chicago - Schaumburg
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.
