Evolve Martial Arts

I love Evolve!
I first checked out Evolve using my GoFitted app that allows me to try out and use multiple gyms in Orange County. I signed up for fitted because I have been really interested in Muay Thai, but also like to do other work outs like yoga, barre, spin… ect.
I first went to Evolve about a month and half ago, and I am addicted. I did Tae Kwon Do and a kid and I didn’t realize how much a miss martial arts. The dedication, the focus and the overall awesome workout you get can’t be beat.
Evolve is a small, intimate studio, but I have heard they are opening another location which is awesome. I like that the classes are smaller, so you get more focused attention to ensure you are doing your workouts correctly.
I have been going to the Thursday night 7:30 pm class with Coach Alex, who is awesome. He is a good coach; humble, nice and effective. He doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable, especially for a newbie! My biggest concern was that I was look like a fool because there are no scheduled «beginner», «intermediate» and «advance» Muay Thai classes. Doesn’t matter at all. I went in my first time, and he prepped the class accordingly to who was attending that day. It was great.
Thank you GoFitted and Evolve for showing me genuine hospitality and getting me back into Martial Arts (finally!) Its been too long and now I find myself going each week. (This week I am going twice!)
Evolve is awesome.

I needed to change up my workout routine. Summer is upon us, and there’s no more time to waste!
Using my fitted membership, I found Evolve Martial Arts and called to see when their Muay Thai class was being offered. I spoke with Todd, who was super friendly. He sounded genuinely excited that my friend and I were going to come check out a class.
Going to a new gym is always a bit intimidating, but when we walked into Evolve, there was a jiu-​jitsu class going on, so we were able to sit and watch a little bit. When it was time for the Muay Thai class to start, everyone was very welcoming.
I had taken a few Muay Thai classes before, so I knew a little of what to expect. I am super uncoordinated and klutzy, but Alex, the instructor, was very patient, showing me the moves over and over and over… and over again. He stressed the importance of proper technique and explained to me why proper technique is important.
Everyone in the class was very patient and accommodating. I left the class sweat, exhausted and energized! It was so much fun, a great way to relieve some stress with some socially acceptable punching and kicking. The next day, parts of my body I didn’t even know existed was sore.
If you’re looking for a solid Muay Thai/​martial arts type of gym, with friendly, non-​intimidating people and a challenging workout, you should check out Evolve. Coordination not required :)

I work out a lot but felt like my progress was stalled, so I decided to look for something different and thought about martial arts/​self defense as something worth trying. I spoke with Todd at Evolve and started with 20 private lessons as a trial. I did not really have an idea how this would work out. I can safely say it has worked great for me. Todd is a great trainer. The conditioning is unbelievable. I have greatly improved my coordination, flexibility, strength and concentration. This was the perfect compliment for my existing exercise program. All the people that work and train here are very nice and respectful. It’s a family like environment. All in all I would highly recommend Evolve Martial Arts.

First off let me start by saying Todd is an AMAZING!!! teacher that truly knows how to get you motivated. I was just grabbing a bagel & a coffee one morning and stopped in. When I walked in it was a very welcoming environment, it didn’t feel like I was being sized up, or like they were ready to sell me something. Todd had me stop by for a few classes and I’m telling you I have never had so much fun working out in my LIFE!!! I must say the energy in there is amazing & to top it all off you are also gaining a skill (Whoot) (Whoot) not a bad deal. Needless to say I just signed up for the Mia Thai & Jiu Jitsu Classes & I’m super stoked to start learning, losing weight, & trying to master some skills!!! I would recommend this class to my family & friends hands down!!! Thanks Todd and Team for making me feel so welcome and at home. I am super stoked, I can not wait to learn and grow with you all. :) One last thing not only is Todd amazing everyone is there so helpful & welcoming. So Evolve Martial Art get’s five star’s all the way around!!!
Glad to be part of this Team
