Billy is knowledgeable, and very clearly values building relationships with his students. Our experience has been wonderful so far, and we have enjoyed Billy’s personalized attention, and plans for teenage son.

After battling with leukemia I needed a push to help keep me motivated to get my physical and mental health back on track. Billy at Evolve helped act as that push and has held me accountable since day 1. Highly recommend!

Billy is my mentor/coach in jiu jitsu. He’s really helped transform me and the way I move. I became stiff as a board competing in bodybuilding for around 10 years and Billy has really showed me ways to increase mobility/flexibility that go beyond just training jiu jitsu. I love training at this gym and definitely recommend it to anyone!

I've been going to Billy's Mobillity training for over a year now because it has helped me tremendously. My right hip and thigh would become so painful after walking or standing for only 10 to 15 minutes that I had to sit down and recover. My doctor advised me to try regular exercise so I found Billy's class and checked it out. Within a couple of months the difference was so amazing, I could walk for miles without any pain! I keep going now twice a week because I feel so much better, and I just enjoy Billy's company! He's a great teacher and very knowledgeable, and he keeps studying to bring new ideas to class. He has a great space now so his classes just keep getting better, I highly recommend him!

Billy is an amazing grappler, Coach and person. Billy helped my grappling game tremendously, especially when I was able to attend daily. His focus and attention to detail is paramount and wants his students to succeed, whether it’s mastering a technique, defending oneself or competing in a tournament. His gym attracts people of all backgrounds and it’s been a beautiful process learning from others’ experiences and getting to meet good people. With my hectic schedule, I’m at least able to make it in twice a week thanks to his am and pm hours and flexible personal training hours. I plan on hitting the mats again as much as possible and looking forward to once again seeing the team on a weekly basis.
