Urban Evolution

Took the Aerial Silk Class through #YelpFitClub and I loved it!!! The instructor was amazing, taught the concept well, and was very helpful. I did pretty good for my 1^st time thanks to her, and I was scared! Great workout, artsy space with a lot of cool classes to offer, I definitely want to try some others.

Adam, the owner of UE, was a fantastic host, and led our newly founded team through all the ropes of basic parkour. From vaults to rolls to bar work and wall-​climbing, this hangout was a mini-​adventure right inside the limits of Charm City! Adam and his rad team kept the spirits high throughout the challenges. He wasn’t lying when he said parkour makes you check your ego at the door. I had fun pushing my limits and doing things I had no idea I could do. Adam explained that parkour is about getting through/​over/​under/​around obstacles as if they didn’t exist. What a great mantra. Strongly considering getting one of their punch passes and hitting this place up on the reg!

So on my Summer Birthday Bucket List I decided to have a few adventures. I loved this place and the classes are fun, inviting, and exciting. I was concerned about my current fitness level but I was wncouraged each step along the way. My daughter and I had so much fun that we bought a class pass each and one additional. We had an amazing time!

The parkour classes at Urban Evolution are great. They really work with you to teach the movements effectively and safely. The style of the space is pretty awesome and the graffiti art is expressive, making for a fun experience.

This facility is absolutely amazing! I wanted to try aerial silks for many years, but was always afraid because of severe injuries that led to pain and weight gain, among other things. I am 2 months in and I have never enjoyed a form of exercise more than this. Nina and Anneliese are absolutely amazing and are able to explain things in a way that makes sense to me, and in ways that keep me safe. One would think that having extra lbs would automatically eliminate you from doing aerial silks, but after 2 months I am able to do a lot of things and am getting better every week! It is such a fantastic, whole-​body work out where you can see results and progress week after week. So I would highly encourage anyone who is reluctant for any reason to at least give this a try! If I can do it, you can do it!
I have not utilized any of the other facilities at the gym, but I know that the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and always make me feel welcome. They are so encouraging, non-​judgmental, and truly make me feel like I can better myself. They really make it feel like a family and hopefully I am there for the long run!

Yesterday I took the Intro to Aerials class with Anneliese, and it was AWESOME! I brought two friends with me, and we had an absolute blast the whole time. Anneliese showed us how to do a range of different movements, and was super encouraging the whole time. I would highly recommend taking her class if you’re looking for a fun and different way to exercise! Speaking from experience, your body will hurt so good the next day.
The gym itself is also really cool. I’d never been to an Urban Evolution before, but the open space and bight graffiti make it super unique. There’s a whole bunch of different class offerings depending on what you’re interested in, and from what I know of the trainers and owners, you will have a great experience no matter what activity you choose to do. So go have fun!

Did the Intro to Parkour class and felt like it was challenging but doable. There were several different fitness levels in the class, and the level of difficulty was tailored very well. Adam was instructing and was always looking to give the next challenge, very encouraging when you couldn’t do it, very excited when you could and always focused on safety. I will definitely be going back!
