TESTIMONIALS
What truly sets this dojo apart is the environment. The coaches are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about each student’s progress and well-being. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, creating a space where kids feel safe, supported, and motivated.
But most importantly—our daughter is having fun! She looks forward to every class, has made great friends, and comes home glowing with pride after each session. We're so grateful to have found a place that nurtures not just skill and fitness, but character and community as well.
This dojo has been a game-changer for our family!
As parents, we've also become more engaged. Having an activity we're all interested in has brought our family closer together. We’ve even built friendships with other parents at the gym, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and positive.
Can’t recommend this place enough!
Out of all the gyms I have looked into in the area, Evolve Training Center was the only one that checked off all the boxes. It is easy to locate, ample parking is available when you arrive at least 10-15 minutes early (there are several parking lots in addition to street parking) and communication is excellent! The coaches are passionate about what they do and are great with kids and adults of all ages. It is very family-friendly and I can't recommend Evolve enough to family and friends!
