Evolution Athletix

This is a really nice gym. It's big, there's plenty of racks if you're a power lifter. Upstairs has machines, treadmills, etc. They've got a spin room, a multipurpose room, enough turf to do some small exercises, and a huge matt for fighting. Staff is very nice. There's a small PT clinic located in the building that is pretty active. Lots of classes for CrossFit or different martial arts, they've even got a cage in the back. This place is pretty quiet in the mornings and it's easy to spread out and get your workout in. Always super clean and the equipment is nicely organized.

I’m editing my review because signing up for a membership at this place is literally the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I feel great every day. Classes are varied and instructional styles between instructors are very different. Attendance varies and I must have hit the gym the first day when everybody happened to be there. Upon getting to know people everybody is very welcoming and kind. Boxing class is the highlight of my week and I always look forward to it. I loved the content of the beginner boxing class. It was intense and I felt like I was able to adapt it to my level. Unfortunately, both beginner classes I went to had about ten experienced boxers/fighters, and maybe three or four beginners. It was very intimidating and uncomfortable, and instruction was stretched thin to allow time for experienced fighters. Maybe offer more intermediate instruction so beginners can have their own space in the gym.

This is the best facility, coaching staff, variety of classes, and value you will find in Maine. My experience at Evolution with BJJ/no-gi has been great, and the instructors all bring a unique perspective to the sport from self-defense to competition training. My kids have also benefited from their excellent coaching over the years in kids MMA, wrestling, and speed & agility.

I’ve been working out and taking classes at this gym for roughly 2.5 months, great community, friendly, and absolutely amazing both technical based as well as functionality. Boxing classes are the highlight of my week and as I’ve decided to add more classes to do (submission, takedown, bjj, and hopefully kickboxing in the future) I believe they’ll also become highlights of my week(s). I’ve definitely found a great place to both work out at and simply be at. I recommend this gym highly amongst my friends. Amazing gym.

Y’all need to change your hours. Only open till noon on a Sunday is crazy. I find myself paying for day passes at other gyms all the time because of how bad the hours are. It would be the best gym around if they could fix their hours. Other than that it’s a beautiful clean gym with so many great classes.
