I did my first Muay Thai class at Evolution today. Cary, who was my instructor, was patient, knowledgeable, and friendly.
We worked a lot on kicks, and he introduced me to knees at the end of the session. Walking in, I had never thrown a kick in my life (maybe besides soccer). And by the end, I was kicking pads and heavy bag with very decent form.
I definitely will come back to Evolution. Any beginner thinking of trying Muay Thai should not hesitate to come to this gym. Everyone here is welcoming.

As a child I was always attracted to martial arts but no art caught me like Muay Thai, at this gym not only was I welcomed by the staff, Brandon and members of the gym itself I also felt like I belonged there, the instructors are very humorous which helped me get through the intense workouts and drills.After about a month of training here I noticed significant improvements in my stamina, endurance and agility.If you are someone looking for a new home that will make you feel like a total badass then this is the place for you!

I only did around 8 classes at Evolution before I accepted a job offer in Miami.
During my time there, I felt so welcomed, enjoyed Brandon's teaching style and the culture he had promoted so much.
It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro, everyone will treat you with respect here and you will learn proper Muay Thai technique in every session.
I have to reiterate, this is not a BS workout class - you are actually learning real Muay Thai and it is fantastic. You get a real sense of achievement learning a true martial art rather than doing heavy bag and some burpees like at those chains.
Anyway... I want to thank Brandon for getting me hooked on the sport and I look forward to rejoining Evolution when I invariably move back to NY.

One of the best Muay Thai facility I've even been to! The staff is very helpful and respectful even if you have no experience at all! They offer complimentary class if you want to try to train here! They have little fitness zone ! They have amazing schedule with different classes - jiu-jitsu, mma , muay thai & etc. The only downside is that there is no showers and the price is pretty high ($220 monthly)!

Evolution Muay Thai is a great gym for beginners or experienced martial artists that want to take their skills to the next level. Brandon is an amazing coach/instructor that takes his time to work on any bad habits that I've developed over my years of training Muay Thai. He always keeps a fun and friendly atmosphere in the gym that is welcoming to any new comers. The other instructors/fighters have been great as well with their own individual teaching styles. 5 star gym all around!

Brandon (& Deirdre) Levi really go out of their way to help beginners feel safe, welcome, and encouraged. A tremendously diverse and dedicated group of people both teaching and training. Incredibly happy I found this MMA / Muay Thai gym. Looking forward to entering my fifties fighting fit!

I started training at this Facility because I was looking for a top notch Muay Thai program in the City. Not only are the classes great, but it's an affordable gym with a flexible schedule. The community is great and Evolution is always evolving. They now offer Judo, Grappling, Conditioning, and Wrestling classes with world class coaches. Brandon Levi is the head coach and he teaches most of the Muay Thai classes. He is very detailed and gives individual attention to everyone. If you are interested in coming here for the first time you can try a One Day Pass which is FREE. Most people take classes back to back on their first day.

Kru Brandon Levi is the reason I started Muay Thai.
This is the place to go if you want to learn proper technique. They will teach you how to fight not just get fit.
Evolution has a lot of great fighters and I am so glad I got to train with them. Great and fun place to train thanks to the staff and members of the gym.

I've been visiting Evolution for about four years now, and I couldn't be happier. Before Evolution I trained at another local gym that can't even be compared to this place. Kru Brandon is extremely knowledgeable and cares about all his students. Classes are always level appropriate and friendly. The overall atmosphere is awesome too, never too serious but everyone is there to get better. Still you never feel pressured to perform above your comfort level, while still being encouraged to improve. The facilities themselves are always clean, and the staff is always concerned about member's health. They take many precautions to make sure you are unlikely to catch any skin infections. Really happy with this place, and looking forward to many, many more great years with Evolution.

Before coming to Evolution I had some very unpleasant Muay Thai training experience: a few years ago my boyfriend dragged me to the gym and started the training but it didn't last long :-(. In fall 2014 I decided to give it another try and Evolution proved my 2nd time is totally a charm!!!
Brandon is a very GREAT coach, no, I take it back, BEST COACH EVER! His class is not only informative but so much fun you will feel the 1 hour class is not enough time to learn and enjoy! All the members there are very tough which I think it's a great thing for a martial art gym because you can only improve yourself when you are surrounded by GREAT PEOPLE! If you don't have any previous Muay Thai experience, the first few classes may be a little rough for you since everyone there is so good. However, DO NOT get discouraged by it! Just make sure to tell your partners you are new, and everyone, I mean really, EVERYONE, is nice and patient to show you how to properly hold pads, correct your technique, advise you what to work on, and all. Once you get the hang of it, you wouldn't wished you had better training partners to be with! And the best part, you get tougher and tougher each day!
There are other coaches I've taken classes with like Will, Jimmy, Justin, Adel and Rocky, they are all awesome coaches! They all have different teaching styles and you always learn different things, and see things from different perspectives when you take classes with a new coach.

Can't say enough good things about it. Terrific instruction. Terrific people. Wonderful gym.
I'm not sure how Brandon does it, but he's created an atmosphere that is at the same time very serious and professional but also relaxed and fun.
It's great for people of all levels, but perhaps particularly good for beginners. It's a very supportive environment where people (like me) with no previous martial arts experience can learn.
Again, can't say enough good things and recommend it highly!
