Evolve MMA Singapore 2026: What It Really Costs (And the Cheaper Maths)

'So how much is Evolve MMA, really?' Plans start from about S$249 a month, based on what members paid as of June 2026. A typical adult plan comes to about S$5,000 a year. A one-off class costs about S$50. Evolve doesn't put a single price on its website, so those numbers come from members. It's the gym most people here name first for Muay Thai, boxing or BJJ, since world champions teach the classes. Whether it's worth it comes down to how often you'll really turn up. Here's the maths the brochure leaves out.

How much does Evolve MMA actually charge in 2026?

There's no price list, so you book a free 30-minute intro class and sit down with a membership consultant. They give you a quote from there.

That quote depends on the classes you want, how long you sign up for and which outlet you pick. That's why almost every price you'll find online comes from members.

Here's what members paid as of June 2026. The cheapest plans start from about S$249 a month, and a standard adult unlimited plan works out to about S$400 to S$420 a month. That's a typical S$5,000 yearly commitment split over 12 months.

No membership? A single drop-in class is about S$50, and a one-on-one private session is about S$250.

Use these as a rough guide, since promotions and the outlet both move the price. Only Evolve can confirm your number.

What members paid at Evolve MMA Singapore, as of June 2026
Option	Rough cost	Commitment	Best for
Intro / trial class	Free (30 min)	None	Testing the gym once
Drop-in single class	From ~S$50	None	Travellers, one-off sessions
Private 1-to-1 session	From ~S$250	Per session	Fast technical progress
Entry membership tier	From ~S$249/mo	12 months	Lighter or student plans
Standard adult unlimited	~S$400-S$420/mo	12 months	Training 3+ times a week

Quick maths: what does each class really cost you?

Take your monthly fee and divide it by the classes you actually go to. That cost per class tells you far more than the monthly price does.

A S$400 unlimited plan is great value at 16 classes a month and poor value at four. Drop-ins cost about S$50 each, so that's the number a plan has to beat.

It's the same trap as any gym membership. We ran the same maths in our guide to the cheapest gym memberships in Singapore.

So be honest with yourself before you sign. Count the weeks you'll travel, fall sick or just not show up. Most beginners guess too high, by about half.

To test the commitment, put the yearly fee into a savings goal calculator. You'll see what that money could grow to if you trained somewhere cheaper instead.

Four times a week, about 16 classes a month: S$400 divided by 16 is about S$25 a class. That's cheaper than a single drop-in elsewhere.
Twice a week, about 8 classes a month: about S$50 a class, the same as paying for drop-ins. So 8 classes a month is where a S$400 plan breaks even with drop-ins.
Once a week, about 4 classes a month: about S$100 a class. You're paying twice the drop-in price for the same class.

Where are the gyms, and what does the fee include?

As of October 2026, Evolve has three outlets in Singapore. They're at Raffles Place (18 Cross Street), Orchard Central on Orchard Road, and Star Vista in Buona Vista.

On weekdays they're open from 6:30am to 11:00pm, with shorter hours at weekends. So you can train before work or after a late finish.

An unlimited adult plan gets you into every adult program. That's Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mixed martial arts and self-defence. There's also WarriorFit, a conditioning class, and a kids program.

Thai world champions lead the Muay Thai classes, and the BJJ side runs as a Renzo Gracie academy. That's the main reason members accept the higher price.

What's included, and what costs extra?

Included: unlimited group classes across all adult programs, the locker rooms, the recovery areas and the workout floor.
Sometimes extra: hand wraps and gloves if you're on drop-ins, private sessions (about S$250 each) and any merchandise.
As of October 2026, members also get the Evolve Privileges card. It takes 15% off dine-in at Nando's Star Vista, and you get 15% off ONE's online shop with a code.
There's a sports massage trial for first-time customers too, at S$68 nett (usually S$118), at Elements Wellness's three Orchard Road outlets.

The catch: what are you locked into, and what can you ask for?

The biggest money point about Evolve is the lock-in. Members usually sign up for 12 months or longer, paid monthly or upfront.

So you're signing up for roughly S$3,000 to S$5,000 over a year. It isn't a gym you can cancel after one bad month.

Before you sign, weigh the opportunity cost: that cash is tied up for a year and can't go anywhere else. Then check the rules on prepaid packages.

Do you get a cooling-off period? Not if you sign at the gym's front desk.

The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and CASE's guidance do cover gym and lesson packages. But the Act's five-working-day cooling-off period only applies to timeshares, and to some direct sales made away from the seller's own premises.

So read what you sign, get the cancellation terms in writing, and keep the receipt.

Book the free intro class first, then do your negotiating in person at the consultation.
Check whether a sign-up or registration fee comes on top of the monthly rate, and whether a promotion waives it.
Ask if the price holds for the whole term, or only for the first year before renewal.
If you travel a lot, find out about freezing your plan, or about punch-card style access instead of a full membership.
Get every figure in writing before you commit. That includes the total contract value.

Is Evolve worth the premium, or is there a cheaper way to start?

If you train four or more times a week, yes, you get strong value per class. The coaching and the facilities are top-tier.

The common complaint is class size. Group classes can feel big, so you may get less one-on-one pad time than the price suggests. That pushes some people to smaller neighbourhood gyms.

Training once or twice a week? Then you're paying world-champion prices for something a S$150-a-month studio does just as well.

The cheapest way to start striking in Singapore isn't a private gym at all. ActiveSG gyms cost about S$2.50 a visit.

Community-centre Muay Thai and boxing courses through the People's Association cost far less than studio rates too. We cover both in our ActiveSG credits and workout hacks guide.

One way to do it: learn the basics cheaply and make sure you'll stick with it. Then move up to Evolve once you know you'll use an unlimited plan.

How does Evolve compare on cost per class?

ActiveSG gym: about S$2.50 a visit, but you're on your own with no coach.
Community-centre martial arts course: often under S$15 a session for a beginner block, as of June 2026.
Neighbourhood striking studio: roughly S$35 to S$45 for a drop-in class.
Evolve drop-in: from about S$50 a class.
Evolve unlimited, four times a week: around S$25 a class, which is where the higher price starts to pay off.

Can your budget carry a year at Evolve?

Treat a year at Evolve like any other S$3,000 to S$5,000 commitment, and plan for it on purpose. A spend this size shouldn't squeeze your savings or your emergency fund.

Put it next to your fixed costs in a personal budget calculator first. Weigh it the way you'd weigh a car or a holiday.

Does it only fit if you save less each month? Then that's your answer for now.

Learn the basics cheaply and keep the habit going for three months. Then sign up once the cost per class is clearly in your favour.

The MoneyBees take: what we'd check first

We'd start by counting the classes you'd really go to. A S$400 unlimited plan works out near S$25 a class at 16 classes a month, and about S$100 at four.

The trade-off is a 12-month lock-in worth S$3,000 to S$5,000, with no cooling-off period if you sign at the front desk. What settles it is how many times a week you'd still train after the first month.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Evolve MMA cost per month in Singapore?

Going by what members paid as of June 2026, plans start from about S$249 a month on lighter tiers. A standard adult unlimited plan averages about S$400 to S$420 a month, a typical S$5,000 yearly commitment split over 12 months. Evolve doesn't publish prices, so book the free intro class for an exact quote for your outlet and program.

Does Evolve MMA offer a free trial class?

Yes. Evolve offers a free 30-minute intro class with a world champion, open to all ages and skill levels. It's the usual way to see the gym and get your own price quote, so do it before you sign anything.

Is Evolve MMA worth the price compared to cheaper gyms?

It depends on how often you train. At four or more classes a week, an unlimited plan works out near S$25 a class, which is fair for world-champion coaches. At one or two a week, you pay far more per class. A neighbourhood studio, an ActiveSG gym or a community-centre course charges much less for beginner training.

Is there a lock-in contract at Evolve MMA?

Usually, yes. Members sign up for 12 months or longer, so it's an annual commitment of roughly S$3,000 to S$5,000. You can't treat it like a month-to-month gym. Before you sign, get the total contract value, any sign-up fees, and the cancellation and freeze terms in writing.
