Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Evolution Muay Thai has won two 2019 awards in New York!

Whether your goal is to get fit, compete or learn self-defense, Evolution Muay Thai in Midtown Manhattan has something for everyone.

Evolution Muay Thai has received more than 150 reviews on five verified sites with an average rating of 4.73 stars, earning them a stellar Rating Score™ of 99.25 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for ranking among the top 100 businesses and the top five fitness centers in all of New York!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“Evolution Muay Thai is a great gym for beginners or experienced martial artists who want to take their skills to the next level. Brandon is an amazing coach/instructor that takes his time to work on any bad habits that I’ve developed over my years of training in Muay Thai. He always keeps a fun and friendly atmosphere in the gym that is welcoming to any newcomers. The other instructors/fighters have been great as well with their own individual teaching styles. [This is a] five-star gym all around!” – Richard M.

Not Your Average Fitness Center

Brandon Levi, the owner of Evolution Muay Thai, took a few minutes out of his day to tell us a little more about this one-of-a-kind fitness center and the impressive online reputation they’ve managed to build.

To start our conversation, we asked Brandon what it is that sets Evolution Muay Thai apart from their competition in New York. Here’s what he had to say:

“We’re more fun. We have very good instructors, and everybody who works here knows that their job is to teach as well as they can and make everybody laugh and have a good time. We strive to teach the best form of the styles that we offer, entertain people and keep everybody happy.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Evolution Muay Thai and how they give back and make the world a better place. Here’s Brandon’s response:

“We give people confidence and help people with weight management, with positive body image and to learn a useful skill while having a good time doing it.”

Building Success by Creating a Positive Experience

When we asked Brandon about Evolution Muay Thai’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:

“We try to do the best by people when they come in and strive to give people a pleasant experience when they train, and people appreciate it.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Evolution Muay Thai has spread the word about who they are and what they do with the help of Marketing 360®:

“We have Marketing360. They have a program we’re running, and we have a YouTube account that we put videos on. We do a little bit of marketing through Yelp, Facebook and Google but most of our marketing is organic — people leaving good reviews.”

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Evolution Muay Thai has. Here’s the expert advice Brandon has for them:

“Make sure you have a good product; strive to hire the best staff that you can, and know your value. One of the biggest mistakes that first-time business owners make is trying to undercut their competition. That usually ends up backfiring. You’re better off knowing your value and charging accordingly, because perceived value is value. If people think you’re only charging a certain amount, and it’s below what the market price is, then people are going to value your service below the market price.”


Congratulations to the team at Evolution Muay Thai for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Brandon, for taking the time to speak with us!
