Cardio Kickboxing in Toronto

Ms. Tess runs super fun kickboxing classes. Finishing her class feels like a huge accomplishment every time because the workout is so intense! The environment at Evoke is really inclusive and the people there are all wonderful. By far, my favourite way to change up my workout routine and keep things challenging.

My son absolutely loves this studio! It's his second time engaging with martial arts and his first time trying Muay Thai / kickboxing, and he thoroughly enjoys both. Master Dayo, Miss Tess, and all the trainers on site are fantastic. The studio is clean and inviting. The community is also both welcoming and serious. 5 stars!

Been about 15 years now of both Fitness Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Some of the little Dragons from way back are adults now, and kicking my butt:) (sometimes...lol). It's a respectful and good vibe atmosphere. I recommend this club no matter how old you are, or what level you are. I plan on retiring my gloves when I'm 80 or when they tell me I no longer know my right from my left anymore. Whatever comes first. See you on the mat.

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!

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 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.

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've been going for kickboxing fitness classes for a few months now and the experience have been amazing. Was not intimidating at all when I first joined, as the instructors have all been very nice and are able to breakdown the workouts into easily digestible steps, without compromising on the intensity. You will sweat!!! Facilities are clean and the class often comprises of people with varying fitness level. Always a great atmosphere and everyone motivates each other. If you're looking to learn kickboxing, or even try something new while getting into shape, then definitely recommend Evoke.

I have been a part of Evoke Academy Martial Arts for over 5 years, and I can't recommend it enough! The HIIT kickboxing and Muay Thai classes are top-notch, providing an intense workout that keeps you motivated and coming back for more. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring that every session is both challenging and enjoyable. The sense of community here is unmatched, and I've made great friends along the way. If you're looking for a place to train and improve your fitness, Evoke Academy is the place to be!

The workouts are intense and effective. The instructors are skilled, offering clear instructions and individualized attention. The gym’s focus on technique ensures a challenging yet safe environment. My fitness has improved noticeably, and I appreciate the supportive community that encourages everyone to achieve their goals.

I recently had the pleasure of participating in the kickboxing lessons, and I must say it was an absolutely exhilarating experience! From start to finish, every aspect of the session exceeded my expectations, leaving me feeling both physically and mentally empowered. Here's why I would wholeheartedly give it a 5.0 rating: 1. Expert Instruction: The kickboxing lesson was led by 2 highly skilled and knowledgeable instructors who demonstrated exceptional expertise in the art of kickboxing. Their ability to break down complex techniques into digestible steps made it easy for beginners like me to grasp the fundamentals quickly. Their constant guidance and encouragement throughout the session helped me improve my technique and push my limits.

After attending the first of 2 kickboxing trial classes at Evoke, I felt so good that I decided to sign up right away! I am not a person who is motivated at a regular gym without instruction. Here, the academy and the instructors have such good, positive energy. They understand your endurance levels and tell you to put in as much effort as you can while also making sure to gently encourage you to test and push your limit each time. I saw results in just 3 classes in being able to hold my plank longer than my first class. Love that every class focuses on improving kickboxing technique and has different combos and burnouts. In my 5 weeks here my endurance, fitness levels and breathing has improved. Also happy that my sciatica that used to affect me often while walking, had completely gone away in less than 2 weeks. I should mention that they take the time to personally check in via text to see if you’re ok when you miss a class. The camaraderie is instant here amongst members and staff. 🙂 Thanks, team, for being so wonderful!

They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to guide us through various kickboxing combos. Their teaching style was effective, as they explained each technique clearly and demonstrated it with precision. I particularly appreciated their willingness to provide individual attention and personalized feedback, ensuring that every participant understood and executed the techniques correctly. The class had a great atmosphere, with a diverse group of participants who were enthusiastic and motivated. The energy level was high, creating an encouraging and supportive environment. It was evident that the coach fostered a sense of camaraderie among the students, which made the lesson even more enjoyable. In terms of the workout, the kickboxing lesson provided an excellent physical challenge. The coach incorporated a variety of exercises to warm us up and stretch our muscles before delving into the techniques. The cardio component was intense, offering a fantastic opportunity to improve endurance and burn calories. I have been so impressed with my experience that I have already recommended this kickboxing lesson to many of my friends. If you're looking to learn kickboxing in a supportive and engaging environment, I highly recommend giving this class a try. The coach's expertise, combined with the well-maintained facilities and the positive atmosphere, make it an exceptional choice for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

I highly recommend this kickboxing lesson to anyone interested in improving their skills and overall fitness. Thank you to the coach and the staff for providing such a fantastic experience!

I joined Evoke almost 2 months ago and I’m really enjoying it! The teachers are attentive to each student and make you feel empowered to get through each tough workout. I have a Shotokan Karate background and have been quite out of shape so I was looking for something where I could use my passion for martial arts but also get my body back in shape and Evoke is the perfect place for that. I’m very happy I joined and highly recommend it! If you’re scared or shy, try one class and I’m sure you’ll be back again!

I am new to Kickboxing and the classes are beginner friendly and a lot of FUN. I have been very impressed with the professionalism, family vibe, and positive energy! I highly recommend Evoke Martial Arts & Kickboxing. You will love it!

I have been attending Fitness Kickboxing session for over a month now. I must say, it has been an amazing experience. The trainer is very experienced and always motivate to push yourself to the limit.

I joined Evoke in August as I was starting my journey to become healthier (both mental and physical). I have been going regularly to the kickboxing classes since then and I really enjoy it. The classes are very good workouts and I feel that I am getting stronger. Everybody is very welcoming and nice. The app make it easy to sign up for classes and they provide both gloves and hand wraps with a membership. Overall I am very happy that I joined evoke and can't wait for my next kickboxing class!

I have been attending the Fitness Kickboxing classes at Evoke for about three month now and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I always feel empowered while getting in a fantastic workout and feel encouraged with skilled, enthusiastic instructors and all the other welcoming participants. I am truly grateful I gave these classes a try and always look forward to going, refining my skills and becoming more confident each and every time!

I restarted my journey of Martial Arts with Evoke this spring. It’s one of the best places in Toronto for learning a variety of Martial Arts. The coaches teach authentic practices and I just love going there.

I recently started the fitness kickboxing class. Originally I am not a sports type of person. However, I am loving the class and found myself looking forward to my classes after getting off work. I believe starting fitness kickboxing was one of the best decisions I made in the year 2022! It is a great class to freshen up as well as to enhance physical strength👍 Those who are looking to try out something new regarding sports classes, this would be a perfect fit for you👌

I’ve been attending Evoke’s kickboxing classes for a few sessions so far. I have enjoyed coming in every time. The instructors are both highly personable and knowledgeable, plus they make a great effort to make everyone feel included and challenged in the best way. I had never considered a martial art previously, and I’m very glad I chose Evoke! I’m looking forward to integrating kickboxing into my health and wellness goals which feel slowly but surely more attainable in no small part due to this excellent environment to learn in. Huge thanks to the Evoke team!! 🙏
