Evolution Fitness & Jiu-Jitsu: Opinions

Negative experience: I went there for three weeks. Today was my last day. A blue belt named "Dick" actually increased the amount of force after I began tapping? He didn't stop until he popped my elbow? Five minutes before my incident, he popped another student's elbow. "Dick" was bragging about doing this to a student at another school just days prior. When I asked "Dick" and the Coach about this,the Coach actually defended "Dick's" actions?
Fantastic experience: The new cold plunge is sweet!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you love the new Cold Plunge. It's fantastic to see our clients enjoying the benefits of this cutting-edge equipment. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in the area just solely for the atmosphere. Everything is there that you truly need without all the extra nonsense that comes with commercial gyms. The Jiu-Jitsu is top notch and I recommend anyone to go try it out. Everyone could use something that is being taught here whether it's on the mats or in the weight room. Lance and River are knowledgeable about anything you need to know! And as an added bonus anyone in there is willing to help a newcomer.
Thanks Chris! We love having you!
Fantastic experience: We were in town to get my daughter set up for college. She has been training for 4 years and will need a Jiu-jitsu gym when she moves. This will be her new go to. Hands down she loved the instructor and found the students knowledgeable and welcoming. Great - friendly - professional school. Highly recommended.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Wanted to get into BJJ to get back in shape and learn a practical martial art. Ended up getting both those things along with an awesome community full of amazing people. You won’t find a community like this one in every gym!
Thank you Naomi!

Fantastic experience: The newest jiu jitsu school in the area is nothing but top notch. I am constantly traveling for work and always look for places to train where ever work takes me. Well on my recent trip to Anniston, AL I found this school. At Evolution Health and Fitness you will be sure to find some great instructors from the Alliance family. James and Lance welcomed me just like I had been coming for years. If you are in the area and are looking to either do some Jiu JItsu or even some crossfit workouts then this is the place to be. Thank you to the entire staff of Evolution Health and Fitness for such a welcoming experience. I look forward to training here again. Thank you, Matthew Bilbrey
