I took a fitness kickboxing class here and from the sign-up through to the actual class, I had a great experience. The team is great with communication and set very clear expectations on what to expect at the studio. The facility is clean and I feel that there is a good emphasis on respect, community and challenging yourself. There's a lot of encouragement. The studio runs some classes for kids at the same time (but a separate section) as adult classes which is pretty convenient. There is street parking in front of the studio and other parking lots close by. The studio is on an upper level so there are stairs involved.

I have been a part of Evoke's Hapkido classes for 10+ years now. In that time, the passion for the art that the instructors have has been transferred to me. As I trained, I have continued to love my time on the mats tackling new challenges and pushing myself; both mentally and physically. The instructors are always encouraging and give useful feedback to help my skills develop. Furthermore, the facilities are incredible too. There are washrooms, changerooms, two big mat areas and the best part, everything is super clean. The other students in the classes are also wonderful, always kind and helpful, willing to work through challenges together. Master Dayo and Ms Tess have fostered not just a wonderful martial arts environment but more importantly a wonderful community I am lucky to call a second family.

I took adult kickboxing lessons with 2 different instructors....they are amazing and I really liked the way they encouraged me, strict but enjoyable. It is a great way of releasing stress and building up your body!

Love this class - have my 4 year old son enrolled and it teaches more than just martial arts, it teaches etiquette, respect and life lessons as well as boosting confidence. A nice clean and bright facility, awesome instructors and a family atmosphere.

The space was perfect for my 7-year-old's BD party, and all the moms were so impressed! The entertainers were amazing—kept the kids happy and engaged.
Everything was professional, fun, and well-organized.
Highly recommend Evoke team for a truly stress-free, memorable party!

My daughter has been attending classes here for the past year and is loving it. The instructors are great and very welcoming! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a spot in Toronto for their children to learn/practice martial arts!

We also recently hosted her birthday party here and it was a huge hit with all of the kids! 10/10!

Very fun. A/C is great and since I have asthma, it makes it easier to catch my breath. Instructors are so kind and helpful. The classes are just challenging enough to get through while resetting from the day and motivates me to work towards improving something each time. I like how they DON’T pressure you into membership commitments right away with vague sales tactics. It was actually recommended to start a class pack to build a routine before committing to a membership plan. And yes I will be getting a membership.

This is the second year my children have attended this camp. The first year they only went for half a day but they loved it so much that they begged to go for a full day this year. Needless to say, they want to go back next year! Thank you to all the staff who made their experience memorable for the past two years, we’ll see you again soon!

Words can’t even describe how amazing evoke is. I have been doing the kickboxing classes for one month now and it has made me feel so strong in my body and mind. I have had the pleasure so far of being in a class with coach Alec, coach Tess, and Coach Elona and they are all amazing instructors. They really go above and beyond. Every class is challenging but so rewarding. Thank you!

I am really enjoying kickboxing classes!! Tess makes each class about having fun and challenging yourself individually. I never have felt out of place from the very start. Dayo and Tess host a fun, friendly workout environment!!

I joined Evoke kickboxing after a 15 year break. This program is wonderful. Miss Tess and her instructors are great, guiding you through the techniques and fitness workouts. They are very welcoming to new people taking the classes for the first time. They do not pressure you for a membership after your trial classes which is a testament to their core values. However, if you do decide to continue your fitness journey with Miss Tess and team, you will not regret it. All ages (adults) are welcome (I am 58) and you will never feel out of place.

I've had my 2 girls participating on Evoke's Little Dragon Program and strongly recommend it. The instructors are great with children, the classes as fun and engaging and I feel the program is also a strong reinforcement for the children to develop discipline and self-confidence. 5 stars for sure 🙂

My son attended a birthday party for 4 year olds recently at Evoke. The 3 instructors leading the party were absolutely phenomenal. I've never been to a party with such enthusiastic and friendly instructors...they really made the event! The space was also so bright and clean. We had an amazing time and plan to enrol in a class soon!

My 7 year old son loves his martial arts classes at Evoke and looks forward to it every week. I appreciate the high number of instructors to students ratio, the adaptable approach instructors take for the younger students vs older students.

I came across Evoke through a Google search. We are not in the area but can easily drive within 30 mins. I chose Evoke because of what their core principles are, the array of disciplines offered, the ease of starting at any point (my teens were both beginners) and the added benefits of what it is like to become apart of a chosen family. We chose the teen MMA and kickboxing class. My teen girls were hooked after their complimentary session! I have already seen an increase in their confidence and self-esteem. The highly skilled staff at Evoke are very approachable and make you feel right at home. I absolutely recommend this program for all teens.

We recently hosted my 7yo son's birthday party at Evoke. We were blown away by Evoke's hospitality and level of service. All of the kids that attended had a blast playing ninja group games and competing in obstacle courses. We were so impressed by the instructors' enthusiasm, patience, and professionalism. They were also so helpful with party set-up and clean-up. Highly recommend Evoke, and we will most likely be back!

I have been attending the fitness kickboxing classes for just over a month now and I’ve been really enjoying it! It is such a great dynamic workout that includes both cardiovascular and strength training. The instructors are all amazing here too! You will get a lot out of these classes!

I’ve been attending the fitness kickboxing classes here and it’s been a blast. I was looking for something challenging and these classes are exactly what I needed. They combine resistance training with cardio and plyometrics. Overall, the classes are super well rounded and I leave every class feeling worked. I highly recommend trying these classes out.

I joined Evoke MA (KB class) last summer.
It was just to try since their location is too far from my home, I thought.
After the KB trial classes, I started to attend once a week...then twice. Now, I show up 3 times a week.
The classes are so full of energy and you mix that with fun and motivating instructors, who would not come back for more :).
I would recommend the class to anyone who is looking for a good work out in a fun environment with no judgement.

I started Hapkido classes several months ago with zero expertise and my experience at Evoke has been incredible! Taking up a new skill or sport especially as an adult can be really intimidating but everyone has been incredibly kind, caring, patient, and supportive. I’ve learned so much, I’ve had so much fun, I feel a lot stronger and I constantly look forward to my Tuesday and Saturday classes. I highly recommend the classes to anyone who wants to try something new!! A huge shoutout and thank you to everyone at Evoke for their amazing work!! I just got my yellow belt today and I’m so excited to come back in the New Year!!

I highly recommend Evoke Martial Arts school. My daughters have been training here for a year and they absolutely love it. The instructors are fantastic—supportive and skilled. I've seen my girls gain confidence, discipline, and new friendships. It’s a wonderful place for kids to learn and grow!

I've been a part of Evoke since their teen hapkido program, and as an adult in their fitness kickboxing program and there is truly no other place I'd rather go to. The environment & structure of classes at Evoke is challenging yet rewarding and I leave each class feeling stronger than before.

One of the unique things about Evoke are the way their classes are structured to provide the members with a total body workout, eliminating the need for a traditional gym. I also love how they incorporate deep breathing sessions at the end of certain workouts for a proper cool down and to get in touch with your body and build that muscle-mind connection. I have left certain classes feeling humbled by the combos, which gives me more motivation to keep going back and getting better at the moves.

Lastly, my favorite thing about the club are the instructors Miss Tess, Elona and Master Dayo who are exceptional at their jobs. They are supportive, but don't hesitate to push members to their best potential, all the while remaining kind and encouraging. As a result, Evoke has become a happy place for me that I'd recommend everybody to join, despite their fitness goals.

I started at Evoke martial arts a month ago, every class has been a blessing. Instructors are kind, understanding, professional, personable, and essentially everything you can ask for. Despite the fact I am a beginner, and my less than great attendance, I still enjoy class and retain a sense of belonging. I’m extremely thankful that I can be a part of such a great community. I would strongly recommend this establishment for anyone interested in fitness and/or martial arts.

The place is large and very clean and welcoming. The teachers are great with kids and knowing how to keep the younger kid’s attention. It’s a great practice for my son who is 4 and a half. He gets so excited to go every time.

A great martial arts club with skilled, professional coaches that focus on proper technique while making the classes challenging and fun. The community is super friendly and supportive, don’t hesitate to join!

Our experience with Hapkido at Evoke has been terrific: appropriately challenging and disciplined in a warm and friendly environment. There is a great community feel and cultivation of mutual respect among participants. So glad we found this program!

Evoke martial arts is a great place to start a martial art, I just joined a month ago and everyone is so kind, welcoming and accommodating. The teachers are great and amazing at their jobs. And overall it’s just a great place, I already feel like I have learned and understood a lot about hapkido.

This is a really amazing place to train in hapkido! it’s just such a welcoming environment! All the students are so friendly, the teachers are very skilled and helpful. This place really knows what they’re doing! Couldn’t recommend more!

Work on your cardio, increase your heart health AND learn practical applications with respect to self defence/offence and discipline. Multiple class offerings to suit your goals and schedule. A warm team building atmosphere and a sense of welcome will keep you inspired to show up to class. Watching your body transform into a lean fit fighting machine as the training days go by will motivate you to achieve more in all aspects of life. Instructors are amazing and inspiring.

We've attended and hosted birthday parties here and the team at Evoke never disappoint! From instructors who make sure every child has a chance to participate to keeping the pace of the parry on time, they just make it easy. Highly recommend!

My almost 9 yo had such a great time at Evoke summer camp in August. They were good at keeping kids busy and my kid was so excited to show us new martial arts skills everyday. Drop off and pick up were also very smooth and efficient, and all staffs were professional and welcoming. We Will definitely come back next summer.
