From the reviews

This is going to be a lengthy review. If you want a summary then skip to the bottom. Wasn't entirely sure about the place at first. They seem to be awesomely patient as I explored their gym. I have been going for over a year.

★★★★★ — Mufasa, Jan 2020

I went to my first class tonight and loved it!! You can go at your own pace without any judgement. What I loved most is the variety of HIIT and MMA/Karate. I'm used to CrossFit so it was different for me but I still got one heck of a workout in. Plus, the owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Jul 2023

Attended Duane Ludwig Bang Seminar today July 20th at PE. Great training facility, professional coaches, and just an all around good team environment. If you live in Lake Charles, LA and are looking for life improvement, do yourself a favor and check out Performance Evolution.

Your first muay thai class at PE Training Center

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
