From the reviews

I joined this gym when I first moved to Louisiana , I joined the Cross fit and the kick boxing class combo and I got a great workout each time I stepped foot inside the gym. The instructors are very well trained in everything from dead-lifts to the perfect strike and take down.

★★★★☆ — Trevor, Apr 2014

Evolution Training is a great place to work out. I especially love Crossfit. I like the fact that every workout is planned out daily for me. It’s always something different to where you don't become bored doing the same thing over and over.

★★★★★ — J, Nov 2014

Evolution Training Martial Arts is the BEST gym for so many reasons! I'll start by addressing the kid's class. Each and every instructor coaches the children in not only jiu-jitsu, but also in life skills. They teach emotion control, respect, team work, strategies, and martial arts moves, of course.

★★★★★ — Lacy, Nov 2023

we were looking for a new start at a healthy lifestyle then we seen a advertisement for evolution training. it read ju jitsu crossfit kickboxing. I've always had a love for kickboxing and also knew it would be great for my children to learn self defense so we made an appointment and as soon as we arrived we were told…

Your first kickboxing class at EVOLUTION TRAINING

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
