Lindsey Kelley
Cardio Kickboxing Instructor
Lindsey “Moose” Kelley is a dedicated and passionate athlete with over four years of experience in mixed martial arts (MMA) training at Evolution Athletics. Her journey into the world of combat sports began during her freshman year of college, driven by a desire to regain the competitive spirit she enjoyed in high school sports. A coworker’s suggestion to try boxing ignited a spark that led her to fall in love with the discipline, eventually expanding her repertoire to include Muay Thai kickboxing and both nogi and gi grappling.
Lindsey’s path to competitive fighting was not straightforward. Initially, the idea of competing seemed like an unattainable dream, but through perseverance and overcoming personal struggles, she found that fighting was her true passion. Her dedication to training and relentless pursuit of excellence paid off when she recently won her first amateur featherweight title, a milestone that stands as a testament to her growth both as a fighter and as an individual.
Known for her ground-and-pound fighting style, Lindsey combines grim determination with Muay Thai striking, making her a formidable opponent in the ring. Her training at Evolution Athletics has profoundly impacted her life, shaping her into a better, kinder, and more patient person. The gym has not only honed her fighting skills but also molded her character, instilling a sense of discipline and resilience.
As a new cardio kickboxing instructor, Lindsey brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the sport. Her journey from being a novice to a title-winning fighter and now a coach is a source of inspiration for many. She hopes to have the same positive impact on her students as her coaches had on her, fostering a supportive and challenging environment where everyone can thrive.
Outside the gym, Lindsey is an artist at heart, with a love for painting, drawing, and reading. She also enjoys spending time outdoors, finding balance and creativity in nature. Her favorite color, royal blue, reflects her vibrant and dynamic personality.
