Evolution Athletics

This place has been a blessing for our son! After having a back injury (stress fracture in his L5) that put him out of commission for 4 months, he asked us if there were personal training opportunities for kids age 10. My wife and I were recommended here by a KU athletics coach and he gave them a lot of praise. Our son has been coming here 3 times a week for 9 months and loves every visit. The trainers focus on form, discipline, and best of all, fun. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Try it out and you won’t be disappointed!

EA has been great for both my high school kids. One who is going on to college level lacrosse. Both have shown improvements in performance and mechanics. I was referred to them by a local PT who trusted EA’s work with teenagers.

Outstanding!!I just wanted to post this review so others may experience what we experienced. We have two active kids, with our oldest kid playing baseball at the college level now. In the athletic world, we have seen both the good and bad of competitive sports over 15 years of their development. Of these experiences, this facility and the trainers rank the absolute top for us.Why?? They truly care about the outcome of your child. Everything is done correctly, with care, and customized for your child's success. They celebrate your successes while continually raising the bar to become better. A prime example of this is when we had our signing day for college. The trainers took time out of the schedule to come celebrate with us. Our success was their success. They understand kids and help reward those who put in the hard work.Sports, like everything is life, is based on the amount of hard work you along with having great mentors to guide you. I have no reservation in recommending this program to anyone who asks. Your investment in your child's development is money well spent when you start to see the results.When you kid comes home from college and the first thing he wants to do it get a workout schedule at Evo and say "hi", you know it is like a second family to him.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My 12 year old son began his journey with EA in the summer of 2019 - since then he has achieved so much both mentally and physically. He is a baseball and football player. His gains in both sports were obvious almost from the very beginning. EA really helped improve his work ethic and understanding on the importance of fitness and taking care of his body too. His coaches care about him and they push him to work hard and stay engaged. The best part, aside from the relationships he’s made with his coaches and peers, is the focus on form and technique and injury prevention. They not only teach him about strength - they SHOW him how to achieve good results the right way. Whenever he’s there - he has a coach working with him to make sure he’s executing properly. He’s never left alone - they constantly encourage and inspire him. He loves going and seeing the older guys putting in the work motivates him to keep going too. I can’t imagine a better environment for youth development than EA.

A couple of years ago I was considering finding a trainer for my daughter to help her get stronger following an injury the previous year. After talking with a friend who also coached her he recommended Evolution Athletics (EA) because he'd seen good results with his daughter. My goal was to find a place that would let her work as hard as she desired but in a safe & mindful manner...because she's a gym rat & would work herself too hard if not properly supervised. What I found was not that at all, it was more. A lot more. Not only do Travis, Tyler, Randall & Hannah provide all of the training materials, coaching, nutrition guidance, drills & weights, they also create an atmosphere where they teach the kids how to be mindful of their movements because it isn't all about how strong a kid is if they aren't moving right & that's important in order for them to stay healthy. It isn't as simple a having my daughter get stronger, it's more than that & making the long drive to Lawrence is/was worth it because she's learned so much & found a place that allows her self-driven nature to be safely channeled by caring & good people. I am truly appreciative that EA was recommended to me because my kid has greatly benefited in athletic movement, strength & overall knowledge. Living west of Topeka, the new Big Springs location is a welcome addition to us & it is a large work-out space so my daughter loves it. If you have a kid that is driven & wants to improve, then I can think of no better place to take them than Evolution Athletics because Travis & Tyler have created a good environment where the kids know they're cared about & the gains made speak for themselves.
