"Let me preface this by saying I am not a gym person, despite being a physical therapist. Dad bod has hit me hard since having my first child and I was looking for a fun place to work out. What I found at urban evolution was an adult playground/gym with friendly knowledgeable staff that made me feel welcome, and more importantly excited to work out! I am now a white band and can't wait to continue my parkour adventure, 2 thumbs up!"
My sister and I had a great time on all the parkour equipment. We were so excited to finally get a chance to go to Urban Evolution. My mom had been telling us about for a long time before we actually had time to get there. I was like a money on all the bars and loved the foam pit. I can't wait to go back now that I have earned my white belt wrist band. Thanks.
We were invited to a birthday party here and everyone had a blast. The instructors were great at dividing kids into small groups so there was more attention to each kid and almost no lines.The instructors were so energetic and kept all kids happy and having fun.
I just took my first gymnastics class since I was a kid (I'm 37 now and two kids in) and it was great! So much fun and challenging but not impossible. Thanks so much for a great time! I will definitely be back!
Just participated in the Intro to Parkour Adult Class. Our instructor, Carson, was a stud and a very chill and mellow dude. He taught at a great pace and challenged us on the techniques he showed us. Very awesome time! I never thought I could learn so much in two hours! I would encourage anyone interested to take the step and sign up for a class. The investment in yourself is worth every penny!
"The gym building itself was fun and clean and perfectly met all needs, but what really made me love the place was the staff. Everyone was friendly, open, and knowledgeable and really made me feel like a part of the community right from the get go as well. The instructors were really great at explaining what I needed to do and lesson was pushing but not impossible for a beginner! Amazing service from amazing staff!"
"Small class size for 401PK, individual attention, the progression of skills in each class from easy to harder - but always challenging and geared towards student success."
"My son and I really enjoyed our first visit to Urban Evo for Homeschool Parkour hour. The laid back but high energy of the place was great. He got to expel a lot of energy in new and exciting ways. The location was good and easy to find and there was plenty of parking. The instructor seemed to work well and was able to politely redirect my overly chatty child"
"You have very open and supportive classes which make people feel they can learn. Also the way which you make your classes so accessible and cost effective is really great! All the instructors I have had classes with are amazing and make it enjoyable even when you are exhausted and still need to do another set of squats."
My 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter both just did the Intro to Parkour. They were a little skeptical at first, but by the end they were both begging to sign up for more classes. It was so much fun to watch them pushing themselves and each other-- we immediately bought 10-pass packs for both of them and will he back!

Everyone did great, I couldn’t jump over the d*** box but the instructor took his time to work with me. By the end of class I was doing SO MUCH better and instead of hating it I loved it.
Flexible, many classes, relaxed but professional atmosphere.
Friendly staff, great instruction, fun courses, and never boring.
The instructor was very encouraging and wasn’t put off by our lack of skill. Took the time to guide us and helped us figure out what we needed to do to prepare for the next classes.
The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.
UE is excellent w kids, great staff, everyone is friendly and easy to work with, the offerings are different, the location is great. Not one thing I can think of that I’d change.
We believe in having a good time while working out! We think the most effective ways to get in shape involve doing things your body was meant to do, and doing it in a way that’s actually fun. And by fun, we don’t mean it’ll always be perfectly pleasant. We mean it’ll be hard work, and you’ll get sweaty. But our brand of fitness will help you do things better in the real world. Read More..
