David Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend evolve enough! Tried a couple of gyms before evolve and non of them come close. All the coaches and everyone in the class were welcoming and couldn't try harder to help people improve and get what they want to out of each class which could be one of the many different striking/grappling arts they do. Just gutted I didn't start here sooner!

Oliver Quinn 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms i’ve ever attended, the sense of community is unbeatable within this gym. The knowledge and passion not just among the coaches Chris and Dave, but among the students is beyond any other gym in liverpool. An example of how a BJJ gym should be run in my own opinion. Now running my own classes in the Isle of Sky, and take my inspiration from Chris and Dave in how they runs their lessons, great teachers.

You will not be disappointed! What are you waiting for? Get involved

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant place to train and learn martial arts. Coach is amazing with his attitude and knowledge. Best decision I ever made was walking through the doors of Evolve. Kids classes are also superb, my son attends the little ninjas classes and loves it too.

Terry Daine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My three kids aged 8, 5 and 4 have been going to Evolve Combat for a number of years now and they absolutely love it. Not only is it building their confidence, making them genuinely fitter, stronger and more coordinated, helping them improve their listening and learning skills, but it’s also invaluable self defence training should they every need it. Christian is a brilliant instructor and tailors his lessons, tone and delivery appropriately to suit the various age ranges. Highly recommend Christian and Evolve Combat! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Gareth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Evolve for over a year now and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Quality gym, people, coaches, and classes. Everyone is friendly and approachable, and always willing to help. I’ve learned an absolute ton since starting and highly recommend training at Evolve if you’re looking to train in BJJ, MMA, kickboxing, wrestling/grappling, or just want to get fit or lose weight. Everyone is welcome. Also, my kids train here and love it. On top of all the above, there is also a small weight gym and sauna. Great gym with quality training.

Paul Brown 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Having trained elsewhere I can say that If you're looking for a gym that will make you feel part of it all from day one then Evolve is for you. Aside from the coaches being of the highest standard and completely approachable, the atmosphere is brilliant and everyone wants to help everyone else improve. Sign up for the trial, get through the door and within a week you'll have the bug. It's a fantastic way to meet people, get fitter and become more confident in a number of different ways.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been to. Everyone is very welcoming. Coaches are all great and welcome all people from all backgrounds and ages. Kids classes are brilliant too my daughter loves it. Cant recommend enough

Ray O 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Making the decision to come and train here has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Taking the plunge to join a martial arts gym can be daunting but I couldn't recommend it more. Coaches are brilliant and every single person at the gym is friendly and wants to help each other get better. Only regret I've got is not doing it years ago. My daughter also comes to the kids class and loves it and it's brought her on loads.

Jonathon Cave 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My 9 year old daughter and I both train at Evolve. It has helped us both massively with personal development, fitness, confidence and discipline.
