Reviews of Evolve Fitness (Gym)

Katelyn Martell

I started at Evolve two months ago with a recommendation from a friend. I fell in love. I was nervous at first because I had never done this type of work-outs (normally a goodlife on my own kind of girl). But the instructors were amazing and so helpful and encouraging. I loved it so much I signed up for their first 6 week challenge. Those 6 weeks are up today and I'm very happy to say with the help of the evolve community I achieved my weight loss goal.

I've joined a LOT of gyms in my time but this is the one I want to stay with. The facility is clean and well maintained and they figured out the "new normal" in a way that doesn't feel weird. They have a lot of different equipment so you don't get bored with doing the same thing over and over. The owners and trainers care about the members' health and well being. And they've really fostered a sense of community there - I have made many great friendships within those walls.

Sabine Ehgoetz

A great place to train when you are in Parry Sound. As a seasonal visitor, it's not always been the easiest for me to find a gym while in town - so I was extremely happy I discovered Evolve! It had everything an athlete in prep needed to get the job done, the owner is super friendly and came to open the door for me on Thanksgiving Sunday, it's clean and well equipped. I had a great workout today and the peace of mind I now have a place to workout at whenever I come up here!

Anne Marentette

Been doing the gym thing on and off for years. Been with Evolve since April and am the strongest I have ever been. The virtual classes are great, lots of support and encouragement. And, just as an added bonus, these guys are incredibly community-minded and have done much to put their support behind other local businesses during an incredibly challenging year. Would highly recommend you support Evolve!

Sheri Crews

There are not enough stars for these guys! From my first point of contact I have nothing but outstanding service. They are very knowledgeable, and want to help everyone supporting their fitness requirements. They make everyone feel like they are part of a team! I first joined with a virtual membership, participated in a 6 week challenge which gave me the option of going in to the gym, I have never been so happy, all the coaches that I have met have been fantastic, I have found the greatest place! Great Crew :) TRY THEM!

Wes LeBlanc

Coming to Evolve has been an incredible experience. Their workouts are designed with all abilities in mind and the staff have the knowledge and skill to work with the most beginner to advanced. I never thought I would be motivated by the boot camp type setting and now I’m hooked. I feel fantastic both physically and mentally. I can’t give them a strong enough recommendation!

melissa Hussey

This gym makes you feel like home. The trainers are kind and invested in your health. The classes are great and cater to all fitness levels. They offer lots of boot camp classes, virtual spin classes, nutrition help, mobility and now …

Liz Graf

Evolve is a great gym with a variety of classes at a variety of times, I would definitely recommend!

Scott Shreenan

It’s difficult to know where to being to describe the impact Evolve has made in my life over the past 10 months. I began in January by participating as an online member in one of their challenges. That was just the beginning of a very fitness focused year. My body and mind have transformed. I’m currently in my third challenge of the year and became a member after the second challenge. I have lost a few things: pounds, inches, and most importantly, the sense of shame I felt about my body. I have also gained a few important things - muscle, strength, and confidence. I’m generally a much happier person, it’s amazing the impact regular exercise can have on mental health. I’ve worked out at several gyms in the Halifax area over the past ten years, both big corporate gyms and some of the more boutique, class-based gyms, but Evolve takes the cake for me. The sense of comradery among members is fantastic, everyone is so welcoming, there is no judgement, and there are people of all fitness levels. The trainers are incredible, willing to provide alternatives to exercises that may be too difficult or irritating a certain area, they’re there to correct your form to ensure you’re doing things safely, and they will push you to work hard right up until the end. Matt is very clearly excited about helping people get, and stay, healthy. It’s motivating to see someone so passionate about what they do. Class based gyms are more expensive than getting a membership to a ‘big box gym’ so being a member at Evolve for me is an investment in my health. I hope I can manage to remain a member for a long time, but even if I’m not, Evolve is great at teaching people to develop healthy habits and I’m confident I will continue to live a healthy lifestyle well into the future (while still taking time to indulge occasionally). If you’re ready to get healthy, join the best gym in Halifax!

Alexa Grant-Gorveatt

I started going to Evolve this past December. Not only is it a great workout - but it is a wonderful, welcoming community. The instructors are friendly and helpful and the owners are hardworking, honest and transparent. They always make themselves available to their clients and actually use their clients feedback to improve the gym. I couldn't recommend it more :)

Marie-Josée Guyon

I have been going to Evolve for a couple of years now and it’s always a renewed pleasure to be there. Even though the gym keeps getting bigger the experience remains extremely personable and engaging. Matt and his carefully chosen team …

Emma Crawley

The team at Evolve has made it possible for me to fit live workouts from home into my busy schedule! Before this, I was struggling with finding time to get everything done in the run of a busy day, and now I’m able to make it happen. Their encouragement during live workouts, their challenges, and the overall morale of the Evolve community create one of the friendliest, low stress workout environments. 110% recommend!

Eileen Gillespie

I am not usually someone who writes reviews but if you have been sitting on the fence about joining a gym I want you to know that Evolve will not disappoint. I have joined ‘ big box’ gyms in the past without success. Evolve has the perfect formula - phenomenal 45 min boot camps that can be adapted for your own fitness levels, staff that are phenomenal, an environment that is welcoming , classes times to suit everyone’s schedules and best of all support. I started in a “challenge” a couple of months ago and I have never felt healthier. Evolve is the best !

AMQ

This is an amazing local community gym. A place for everyone; all ages and all fitness levels are warmly welcomed. You are really supported in setting and meeting your fitness goals - based on solid evidence. The classes fun, time flies and they are easy to fit into your schedule. The system is effective - getting your stronger before you know it ... in no time you'll find you are blowing through your limits. Instructors are approachable and knowledgeable - ensuring that your form is correct and that you have options as needed. I can not recommend this fitness team enough!

Ryan Lillington

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great way to meet new people while leading a physically active lifestyle. Evolve was incredibly helpful during lockdowns with their at home workouts and maintained their community involvement with fundraisers.

Erika Sykora

I love Evolve because it is more than just a gym. Sound nutrition and fitness advice without any gimmicks. The boot camps are challenging but fun, and appropriate for every fitness level. The best part of Evolve is the positive and encouraging community that you will find yourself becoming a part of. I was hooked on Evolve after one session and have never looked back. After years of failing, Evolve has given me the tools to become stronger, healthier and happier. Thanks Evolve ❤️

Sarah Dykstra

Not just a gym, a whole community! I have been signed up for their classes for over a year and love it and the results. The owner, the trainers, other members all make you at ease and genuinely care.

Cordelia Perry

Joining Evolve Fitness has been one of the best decisions I have made. Evolve is more than a gym, it's also a positive and supportive community. I joined Elvove@Home in December 2020 and continued with the game changer challenge in January 2021. I have lost weight, but more importantly, I have become stronger, more confident in getting outside my comfort zone, and have made new friends. The owner and his team assist with goal setting, meal planning, nutrition, and other skills to help you succeed in your journey. I love receiving the daily emails and I often comment that Matt is inside my head, because the topics are often on point to what I and other members are feeling.

Shlok Bawa

Great experience, i was in the town for only 2 weeks and the owner was super cooperative and helpful. Great customer support keep working hard ????

Patti Simpson

I've been going to fitness clubs for over 8 years now. I just recently started at Evolve and it's more than just a place to workout. …

Caitlin Pierlot

Simply the best "gym" I know, because it's more than just a gym - it's a whole community of friends, support, motivation, and so much more. The Evolve Team throws their everything in to their clients, classes, coaching, AND community. I've been involved with Evolve as a personal training client, bootcamp attendee, trainer, mom-and-baby client, and virtual participant too! It's all fantastic.

Melissa Whitman

I just started going to Evolve and I’m loving it! It’s clean, and cool. So far everyone that I’ve had an interaction with has been friendly and helpful. I love that it’s open 24hrs so my workout happens when I can fit it in no matter the time of day.

Danielle E

Evolve isn't like other gyms. It fosters a very strong "family" experience. Everyone is lovely, friendly, and willing to help. It is very easy to feel like a gym is "full of fit people" and you are not fit enough, strong enough, skinny enough, or knowledgeable enough to step foot through the door, but that couldn't be further from the truth at Evolve. There are truly people of all Fitness, strength, heali, and experience levels. There is always someone who has been where you are, and are willing to give you advice. Help is only a call, text, email, or Facebook post away. Having classes available nearly 14 hours a day in person, and online classes 24/7 is awesome! You won't regret making the decision to join!

Monika Eberhard

I've been going here for many years and it just keeps getting better! Great variety of classes to choose from and equipment to use.

Michael Wilson

Simply put, Evolve is everything you need in a fitness facility whether you're at the beginning of your health journey or many years down the line. It's never too busy because of the 24/7 hours, has fantastic equipment, and you can even throw your own tunes on the Bluetooth speaker. I've missed it dearly while they were closed due to COVID, but couldn't be happier they're back with a vengeance! Best gym in town.

Marieke Brouwer

Absolutely love this gym! The workouts are fast and effective and I feel stronger than I have in years. You can tell the coaches love their jobs and are always there to help answer your questions or modify your workout. You can tell the owners are very passionate about helping members through whatever fitness transformation they may be seeking! I have been going for about 6 months now and I’m down a pant size and haven’t given up the food and drinks that I love! Couldn’t recommend this gym more :)

Nicole Wood

I cannot stress enough how happy I am that I joined Evolve. The people who work here truly want you to succeed in whatever health and fitness goals you’ve set for yourself. Their positive can do GO GO GO attitude helps me push through on days when I’m not feeling super motivated. I can’t thank the Evolve team enough, you have positively impacted my life more than you’ll ever know! You will not regret signing up with them!

Michele Cross

This gym is awesome. The best trainers, facility, workouts, and equipment. Matt and Mitch are great guys, they care so much about their clients and their community. They give back so much to the community by offering online challenges and workouts and you make a donation to join these and it all goes to support local charities. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great place to work out.

Olivia Hall

Evolve is awesome! Everyone who works here is friendly, motivating, and very approachable. Such a great atmosphere to work out! I would highly recommend trying one of their classes.

Amanda Brown

I started at Evolve about 5 weeks ago. Having gone from doing zero exercise, I now LOVE going to bootcamp 3 times a week. The whole atmosphere is so welcoming. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I have never felt more comfortable at a gym than I do at Evolve. The trainers are absolutely amazing. I leave each class feeling so proud of myself for what I accomplished. Its amazing what one place can do for your self confidence. This is by far the best thing I have done for myself! My only regret is not joining sooner!!

Jollimore Family

Starting my third year with Evolve in 2020. This gym has a great, practical approach to health and fitness that they share in a positive, encouraging way, taking the time to get to know their clients like no other gym I've joined has done. There is a real community feeling here; from regular challenges to success parties and accountability partners. Everything you need to have a positive journey toward health and fitness, regardless of where you're starting. Also, award-winning instructors who are genuinely great humans. Love my Evolve family!!

jessy connolly

I have been doing the bootcamp classes at evolve for the last 3 weeks. From the very beginning I felt totally welcomed by everyone there. No need to feel anxious or nervous about starting new at this gym! Everything you could want; super easy parking, extremely flexible schedules and awesome instructors! I would recommend evolve to anyone I know looking to start a new workout routine, already in a work out routine or looking for guidance on how to up their current program!

Penny Henneberry

I was hesitant to join a gym, but found Evolve and have no regrets. I was assisted personally to attain my goals. I am more fit and have improved mobility and all of that in a matter of months. They have such a wide variety of options such as yoga, full boot camps and mobility classes for those who want a more focused routine to recover from injury or simply improve flexibility and strength. I highly recommend Evolve.

Athena Mintz

Love Evolve! The gym and the change rooms are always very clean. Through personal training, Brenda has taught me so much not only about working out but also about having a balance in a healthy lifestyle. She’s always encouraging and so easy to talk to. Whether it’s personal training, classes or just a gym membership I have had nothing but a positive experience here. You can always count on any of the instructors to give you a good sweat and leave you feeling accomplished. Highly recommend! Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Alyssa Lynch

I am so happy I joined Evolve. Everyone at the gym has been so supportive and welcoming! I was always nervous to go to gyms, feeling self-conscious and worried I wouldn't know what to do. I remember meeting with Matt for the first time, and he explained that everyone feels like that, but only for the first 10 min or so, and then you quickly forget. And he was so right! I don't feel nervous walking in, and know I can always ask the trainers questions if I'm unsure how to do something. If you're looking for a gym in Halifax, you have to check out Evolve!

Jocelyn McIsaac

Since moving to working from home I wasn't getting the movement I had before. I joined the Evolve Fitness virtual program in May and have felt amazing ever since! They focus on changing habits that will help you change your overall lifestyle for the better, instead of gimmicks or diets. I have a habit of going hard and then going home (broken) but they encouraged me to start slow and then increase. The member site has tons of great advice on how to get started and then increase training and the trainers are wonderful, friendly, down to earth people who are always available to help you sort out the tech or answer your questions. The trainers and the community they've built are extremely supportive and helpful. With the sheer number and variety of boot camps, cardio, mobility, yoga and more they offer there is something for anyone at any time of day or night! They offer live videos, recorded videos and are soon going to have their in person sessions back up and running safely. I personally love all the various options available. I can do a boot camp or a yoga, depending on what my body needs that day. If my meeting runs late and I miss the noon live session, I can start a recording at 12:19pm and still get my session in. The flexibility they offer means I can make it fit into my routine and not have to change my whole day to get in some movement. I have never had a gym membership before, I've never considered myself one to enjoy a fitness class but Evolve is changing all of that. I feel great, I'm sleeping better and more regularly, I'm getting enough water and nutrients and I rarely curse at hill climbers anymore. Thanks Evolve Fitness!

Kimmy O'Dell

Evolve is by far the best gym i’ve been too, I’m from Edmonton and honestly it’s way better than anything ive been to back home. The genuinely care about you and you’re not just another number making them money. Not to mention how …

Trish MacCormack

I’ve been a member with Evolve for five years. I’ve done the in-person bootcamps and the virtual program during the pandemic. Matt, Mitch and team are top-drawer. They genuinely care about their clients’ health. If you are looking for a safe, professional, and supportive environment to help you reach your health and fitness goals then Evolve is the place for you!

Ian Flight

Evolve is the most welcoming/inclusive/supportive gym that I've encountered. Their classes are designed to be accessible for the full spectrum of client abilities. Simply the best investment I have ever made for myself. Give them a shot and you'll understand why they've earned their ratings and client loyalty!

Amanda

I would absolutely recommend Evolve to anyone looking for fun, effective workouts - not to mention the convenient class times all day long. I joined 5 months postpartum and can honestly say even after a few weeks I feel stronger than I did before my pregnancy! The whole staff is so kind and knowledgeable, and the other members make you feel right at home. I love the mommy and baby classes especially, it is so nice to be able to bring my baby to the class without worry and work out in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.

harvey Hemming

I just love, love Evolve Fitness! I've joined Evolve Fitness remotely from North Carolina and the experience has been awesome. Their live and recorded boot camps, cardio classes and yoga sessions are lead by experienced and knowledgeable instructors. They make the workouts fun with lots of encouragement. They also have in person classes in Halifax and Bedford.

Terry Horton

I was only in town for a few days but needed access to a gym. The owner Brenda was very helpful and accommodating and the gym had more than I needed. I would highly recommend.

lisa f

I’ve been going to Evolve Fitness for 8 years now and love it! The classes are fun, creative, never boring and always make you sweat! The equipment is current and always being updated including awesome new Spin bikes! I think the biggest reason I keep going back is the amazing staff. Brenda and the team are passionate, personable, motivational and genuinely care about their clients.❤️

Jessica McCall

The Evolve Fitness team meet you where you are at in your wellness journey. They encourage you, kick your butt and offer lots of feedback, written support and they make it fun. They are all about putting in the hard work, no gimmicks, no magic potions, just sweat and effort. They tell the truth so if you are ready for the truth and want to put your health first, this is the community for you.

Amanda Collison

I took a baby and me 6 week fitness class with Brenda this fall! It was amazing, she was so good to get me working toward back in shape after the baby. The classes were a good total body workout, starting off slow and included modifications but gaining in intensity each week as we got stronger. Brenda was so kind to even snuggle the babies if they started to fuss so the mama’s could get the most of their workouts! Highly recommend and I will do this again whenever I have another baby, I felt so motivated and so much stronger.

Carling Towers

Very clean space, owners are very friendly and helpful. Not to busy so little to no wait for equipment. Members are respectful and clean up after themselves. Incredibly pleased with experience

Allyson Blagdon

Before Evolve I never liked going to gyms, they were all the same. But now I have found a place that actually motivates me to workout! The bootcamps are high energy with amazing trainers to guide you. I’ve never enjoyed working out this much and it’s all thanks to the Evolve team!

Dylan Griese

In an area where options are limited, this fitness center luckily checks all of the boxes for what anyone could need. Clean and well equipped. Brenda is a pleasure to deal with and has an interest in continuing to invest in the facility and equipment (e.g.: the most recent purchase of a curved treadmill, which is awesome). Would highly recommend checking this place out if you are looking for somewhere to lift weights and/or do various types of fitness classes in the area.

Chloe Pineau

I’ve had an awesome experience at Evolve! The workouts are perfect - they’re efficient, effective, accessible, and a lot of fun. I also really love how many class times are offered, which makes it easy to fit in a workout no matter what your schedule is. The thing that sets Evolve apart from a lot of other gyms, though, is the staff and supportive environment. They really make you feel welcome and valued, and I think their approach to health and wellness is realistic and sustainable. Would highly recommend :)

Lauren Hutton

I have had such an incredible time doing the Evolve/Sweet Pea challenge. I am feeling more stable and effective in my other athletic commitments. The staff and other members are fantastic; encouraging, and welcoming. The workouts are efficient as most exercises work multiple body parts, they can be easily modified up or down in difficulty based on fitness level, and the schedule and app are accessible/user friendly. I would highly recommend this gym!

devon wasson

Evolve is an amazing place if you’re looking to kick start your fitness journey, they’re real people who strive to push and help their clients reach their goals whether it’s in person, online or one of their multiple challenges these guys have got the process down and it works. I have never stepped foot in the gym or any gym and I have gained muscle and lost weight being an online client with easy to follow along love and recorded workouts, online coaching and accountability, you won’t be disappointed with your choice here

Katie Mahoney

I’ve never experienced a business who is so passionate about their clients and their clients success. The amount of respect, support, and love that the Evolve team has for their clients and community is truly inspiring and is something that you wish every business instilled! I’ve been having such a great experience at Evolve as their bootcamp workouts are effective, achievable, and a lot of fun! I would recommend this gym to anyone <3 You guys are amazing.

Krys G.

If you are looking for somewhere to join that's accepting I would 10/10 recommend this gym! Their online challenges are great, I felt supported the entire time, I would get check-ins weekly (sometimes multiple times a week) to see how my progress was going. They really are there to support and guide you. I learnt a lot about nutrition, workouts and how to stay on track with my goals. I'm still new to Evolve, as I only joined back in February 2020. I would totally recommend the online challenges and going to the gym if you can! Also check out their new online classes ! It's great and they helped raised money for local businesses. They are always looking out for others and that's what makes them super unique. They genuinely care about others and that's why I would recommend joining !

Kate Mosher

Evolve is unlike any gym I’ve ever experienced. The trainers are knowledgeable, helpful and easily able to adapt workouts to any fitness level. The community that they have built is inviting and encouraging. I have never enjoyed exercise, and have always had a feeling of dread walking into a gym. Since joining Evolve 5 months ago, I am happy to say that I look forward to going to the gym everyday now. Highly highly recommend!

Lisa Loosemore

Evolve’s 5:15pm classes that are offered at this gym are amazing!! They are designed for a well-rounded fitness improvement, and whether you’re starting out or well-seasoned in your active lifestyle, they’re always challenging and fun. Evolve attracts a lot of amazing people so you’re surrounded by positive energy and are always in a supportive environment. The instructors are mindful of anyone’s injuries/limitations and are always ready with accommodating modifications to any exercise during the class! They work hard to change up the pace so no two classes are the same and you’ll certainly never get bored! Having the combined unlimited class/gym access membership, it also means I can take advantage of the 24/7 aspect of the rest of the facilities which I love. The new security/safety installations are a nice touch for anyone who might be nervous about being alone at Evolve. If you haven’t checked Evolve out, you must!

Krista Nantau

Almost finished my first challenge (30 day) with Evolve Fitness, and I can honestly say WOW! If your looking for a gym, it can be that! If your looking for a community of people who genuinely care about helping you attain your goals …

Meghan Pushie

Evolve is so so so much fun!!! I’ve been doing the online bootcamps since April and I absolutely love them! They really make you feel like part of the crew! I first joined when everything was closed due to Covid. Then did a huge fundraiser for local businesses. It was such a great time I decided I definitely wanted to continue with their virtual gym. They do so much for the community and are so supportive. I feel comfortable to ask for help when I needed. You can just really tell everyone truly loves what they do and helping people! I 100% recommend everyone try out Evolve, you will not be disappointed!

John Annett

Great gym with very friendly and helpful staff and clientele!!

Nicole Boyd

I was really excited to try Evolve, it was my first time with a steady boot camp. I have always remained active through sports, however struggled to keep a regular gym routine. I did sign up for a three week challenge which kept me motivated, but I never once talked myself out of going. These boot camps have worked for me, and I have felt a difference in my strength. I enjoyed all the workouts I attended, and was able to push myself. All the instructors were personable and helpful. I would 100% recommend Evolve fitness!

tracy adamson

Awesome gym and trainers that offers both in person and virtual workouts. I have been a member for the last 5 months, mainly virtual, and my experience has only been positive - the supportive community, trainers and emphasis on health and building healthy habits has helped me develop a sustainable routine that fits into my life! Highly recommend!

michelle lavigne

Evolve fitness is the best. This gym is the most welcoming place and each and every person is dedicated to our happiness, health and fitness. The variety of classes and times they’re offered is great. If you’re looking for a new gym, look no further. No seriously, stop your search... this is THE GYM.

Megan McEwen

Evolve has become an integral part of my entire health both physically and mentally. Brenda and Monika are professional, encouraging, supportive and radiate positivity. The classes provide exercise for all levels of fitness and the girls are always able to modify for anyone to ensure they are getting the most of their workouts. The entire space is always clean and comfortable and everyone who I have met is always welcoming. There is a wide variety of gym equipment and the 24/7 access allows for availability even with the most hectic schedules. I highly recommend Evolve and all it has to offer!

miranda sampson

I started at Evolve Fitness about 1 year ago and have never enjoy going to a gym as much as I have going here. All the trainers are very supportive and friendly, they take the time to get to know you on a first name basis and provide ongoing support and advice to help you excel within your fitness goal. Not once have I felt that I couldn’t ask a question about my workout or nutrition. The classes are fun and challenging and I love how I can always find time to fit a class into my daily schedule!

Courtney MacSween

Evolve is an amazing gym. I’ve been an in person member for a couple years now and can’t say enough great things about the trainers, workouts and members. It really is a positive community of people invested in their own and each other’s health and wellness. If you’re like me and want an excellent workout without having to think about it- then EVOLVE is your gym. In and out in less than hour a few times a week combined with straightforward nutrition and healthy habit advice- it’s more than enough to transform you, mentally and physically. If you stick with them, you’ll doing things you wouldn’t have thought you could do- hello pull-ups!

Mallory Mills

I’ve had such an amazing experience at Evolve. I always feel a little intimidated starting at a new gym but evolve is very welcoming. I love that classes are 45 minutes and there are so many times that it fits into a busy schedule. Bootcamp classes are fun and way more enjoyable than anything I’ve tried on my own. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a sweat on!

Joanne White

I joined Evolve as part of their 6 week "Win if Back" challenge. I love the boot camps & cardio classes. I love that there are multiple classes per day which makes it easy to squeeze in a 30-45 min workout. The classes are challenging & suitable for all abilities. Mitch & Matt truly care about their clients and celebrate their clients success. Scott, at the Bedford location is fun and a great motivator. I can't say enough great things about this gym.

Major Payne

Hey you! Yes, you. So you’ve decided it’s time to go shopping for a fitness facility that will help you transform from average to superhero? You’ve probably told yourself “oh, I can lose the weight no problem” and tried a lot of “do it yourself” routines, which inevitably, did not pan out. Let me tell you something from experience - you have landed at the right fitness facility and the best program to achieve those seemingly out of reach goals. Evolve is a lot more than a fitness facility. It’s a community of trainers and people that specialize in supporting and motivating you to reach those goals through hard work, dedication, and consistency. Trust me, you’ll be doing the hard work, but the supports are there to keep you in track. I’ve been a member since September 2020 and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Evolve has transformed and improved my physical and mental health tremendously since joining. Do yourself a huge solid and reach out to Matt at Evolve. They are truly an amazing group of professionals.

Katherine Hanlon

I can’t express how warm and welcoming every encounter I have had at Evolve has been and continues to be. I feel super supported by all the coaches and there is always a modification given if needed in class, as well as positive encouragement along with a push to challenge myself. The experience goes above and beyond the classes themselves to incorporate support with nutrition and goal setting as well. 10/10 would recommend!

Sean Ng

Was on vaca this past week with the family at a cottage. Brenda was nice enough to meet up with me on a Sunday morning, so I could sign up for the week. Highly recommend this gym.

Kay Lo

BEST gym in the city! I've been going to Evolve for over 3 years now, and this is the first time in my life that I have enjoyed exercising! The atmosphere is friendly and accepting of all levels of fitness. All of the trainers are dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals, while fostering an accepting and fun atmosphere. One of my favourite features is the wide variety of class times available (with classes ranging from 6am to 8pm, seven days/week, which works well for the busy working professional). Sign up for a trial at Evolve- you won't regret it!

Alex Jack

Amazing and supportive staff! I was a little nervous/intimidated starting an in person bootcamp gym. The instructors helped me every step of the way and I never felt lost. I was introduced to the gym with their 2021 3 month challenge and have had amazing results. The nutrition and personal coaching has helped me stay on track and lose 25lbs in 2 months of the challenge, as well as decrease my overall body fat, and increasing my lean body mass. I've gone from 3 bootcamps a week, at the start of the challenge, to 4 times a week now nearing the finish. Shoutout to Emily and Karen who were my regular morning bootcamp instructors, they have been really welcoming and helpful with my fitness growth. As well as the other welcoming and friendly trainers! A really great gym/program! Looking forward to continuing with Evolve!

Maggie Barnhill

I was a full time gym goer when Covid hit and gyms were forced to close. Missing the comradery and structure of classes, I started looking for online options. I found Evolve and decided to give it a try because A- the price is great and …

kelsey O'Connor

I have been working out at Evolve for about four years now and it is such an amazing environment to go and reach your health and fitness goals. It is there that inspired me to start out as a group fitness instructor. I can not recommend Evolve Health studio enough as a place to feel comfortable and start your health and fitness journey. Five stars!

Sadie Hardiman

Update: Oct 23, 2019 - More than half-way through my second challenge at Evolve and seeing so much improvement. I've been following their advice with nutrition and coaching and for the first time in years, I'm sleeping 7+ hours per night. I'm losing body fat and toning up. I'm up in the morning before my alarm. If someone told me a few months ago, I'd be doing boot camp before work, I wouldn't have believed it. I've decided to become a member and I'm looking forward to continuing with my fitness. Highly recommend Evolve. I attended the 21 day boot camp to jump start my way back to getting in shape. The trainers were awesome and made sure I was doing the exercises properly. It is a friendly and fun atmosphere and I looked forward to my workouts. I've seen a great improvement in just 21 days and will definitely continue to workout with Evolve.

Evolve is such a great place to workout! The 24/7 access allows me to work out on my own schedule and the spin classes are so much fun. Brenda is a great trainer and coach! I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a gym in the area. ????????

This business deserves 10 stars. I was a member when I lived in Halifax, but now live in Ontario. I decided to check out their virtual program when Covid-19 hit. Am I glad I did. It’s amazing. Excellent trainers. Simple, yet …

Loving Evolve! Joined the game changers challenge in Jan 2021, not only lost a bunch of weight but developed a great routine for gym and home fitness, making better food choices and overall positive mental health. Truly amazing trainers on the team and meeting lots of supportive fellow gym members. Feeling stronger than I have in years, and loving the empowering leadership which is shared daily and applicable to all areas of life.

Best gym ever! All the guys and girls are fantastic and so motivating. It is a very comfortable place for anyone to work out in. They will keep the workouts interesting and keep challenging you. I’ve been to some gyms that berate you for …

I was really excited to try out a bootcamp for the first time, and was SO happy with Evolve! They have such a great community with instructors that will know you by name and really care, and really friendly gym-goers that helped me out …

Evolve is an amazing gym. The workouts are designed for all ages and abilities. Boot camps, Mom and baby classes, small group senior classes are just a few options offered in this unique setting. The staff are supportive, positive, knowledgeable and will help you reach your goals whether you are a beginner or advanced. Matt and Mitch and their team will inspire, motivate and support your goals towards a healthier lifestyle. This is not a big box gym. You are joining a community of people who truly care about you.

Evolve is a special place. Once an in person bootcamper, I loved the set up of the Evolve workouts and missed it when I moved. Now a faithful full time virtual member this gym goes above and beyond. Matt and his team not only know how to get you results, but they also have created one of the best fitness communities in Halifax and around the globe. If you’re looking for a fitness community, who will celebrate your victories and push you when you need it, set through the doors of Evolve, or join virtually... you won’t be disappointed.

After having a child over ten months ago, Brenda made me feel super comfortable with using everything. I took my first spin class and boot camp class and am now hooked! I love how many different classes at different times there are during the week, makes it easy to plan your schedule on the app!

Stephanie Craig

I joined Evolve in June after trying other gyms/workout programs. This is the first place I have found that challenges me both mentally and physically. The workouts are effective and the staff are very knowledgeable in their field. Highly recommend Evolve for anyone who is looking for long term, sustainable fitness and lifestyle goals and not just a quick fix. It's more than a gym, it's a community and lifestyle.

Odetta Griegoscherwski

I joined the Evolve at Home online program and am so impressed with what Evolve has created for people looking for an online option. The set up Is very professional and, they have managed to make it feel personal and team-like. There are many class options so it is easy to find class that fits into my schedule. There are also many instructors, providing good variety in style and approach. It is easy to sign up for classes and because of the personal approach I feel more accountable and motivated. Overall a really great experience.

Heiddis Olafsdottir

I've been going (on and off) to Evolve bootcamps since they started out 7-8 years ago and LOVE it. Evolve is a gym where you'll feel welcome and comfortable the moment you walk in! The workouts are fantastic but challenging, and you can go at your own pace which makes the 45 minutes go by fast. The trainers are all wonderful, and SO supportive of their clients - always sharing their expertise. I'm lucky enough to be able to walk there, but would make the drive if they ever move!! Highly recommend.

Mikayla Kuan Veng

Just completed a 3 week Bootcamp with Evolve. This gym and the people that run it provide a great and encouraging environment for a variety of individuals of all fitness levels and ages. As soon as I entered the facility I was greeted by one of the owners and offered a quick tour and information session. The workouts are efficient and the 45 minute classes go by without another thought. I would recommend this gym to anyone feeling like they’re in a slump, the group classes are encouraging and motivating with so many different times offered it’s easy to fit in workouts throughout the week. Looking forward to the next challenge!

Laurel Poole

I joined Evolve for a 30 day trial, three months after my daughter was born. I loved it so much, I signed up before my trial was over for a year! I have mostly been attending the mom and baby classes and it has been fun and challenging. The people that I have come to know, and call friends, are simply the best. You have as much support as you want or need and the community and owners wonderful. I can hear Matt and Mitch day... trust the process and if you do, you will see results. Do yourself a favour and join, you deserve it!

Michelle MacPherson

Have been a member of many gyms but this is by far , hands down , my fav ! I discovered the “ at home “ Evolve which has been amazing ! My husband was telling me about the gyms being shut down in Ontario and I said to him I am so very thankful I found Evolve and can work out in my rec room . Every 6am , I have live interaction with the trainers and they see me with Zoom and greet me as I I were there in person which gives it that personal feeling, even though it is virtual . I have been a member since April and I still feel challenged every workout and never ever get bored . Highly recommend! Either virtual or in person , you wouldn’t be disappointed!

Sarah Hendsbee

Excellent atmosphere. I would have to say that the clientele that choose to go to Evolve are all very similar in mind set and very open and supportive whether you are novice or experienced. The selection of boot camp time options are very wide so finding time to attend has never been an option. They also offer spin class, cardio and yoga which is all included in your membership. I highly recommend their challenges!

Jennifer Flynn

I’ve tried many different gyms and this is the first time I’ve really noticed a change in my shape in a long time. Their workouts are well designed focusing on full body strength with lots of core which is so important for posture, function and injury prevention. Their warmup is awesome, something I noticed from day 1 how prepared it makes you feel for the workout. And because of all the pushups I can finally do a full push up:). Evolve isn’t just a gym. It’s a community that really focuses on helping clients change their behaviours one step at a time with realistic smart goals. Including helping with nutrition, sleep, fluid intake, and recommendations for mindfulness. Although they have a lot of great 6 week challenges, they focus on the long term journey and fully support their members with open communication via emails, texts, in person and even face time. I highly recommend Evolve to everyone, because it doesn’t matter what your shape, size, ability...the staff are capable of modifying for anyone and they make everyone feel important, because we are:)

Amazing! Fantastic customer service and flexible memberships (including day and week passes). Brenda is warm and friendly and the facility is clean and has all the basics covered. Recommend!

Vickie Armstrong

Evolve is the best! They have a lot of different options you can check out online but my preference is still in-person weight training/bootcamp style workouts. The workouts are in a small group and there is always a trainer to do demos and help with form. They also can help with alternatives if you need any because of injury or to adapt the exercise to be easier or harder. The style makes it easy to learn how to weight train and adapt each workout to your own level of fitness and your own goals. I’ve been to a lot of gyms over the years and it never lasted more than a few months until I started at Evolve. Now after a couple of years, I am pretty confident I could weight train on my own in a low-cost chain gym or at home. But I know I get a better workout at Evolve with a trainer and I have their help when I need it. I also never have to think about what I will do. All I need to do is show up. The trainers motivate you to work hard while respecting that it is still your workout. You can modify any exercise and you can stop and start on your own time to work at the right level for you. One of the the others things that I also really love about this gym is that this is a gym for everyone regardless of gender, age, body size, or fitness level.

Cheryl Smith

Evolve is more than a gym. It’s an amazing place where the trainers care about you and your goals, and are there 110% to help you achieve them. The boot camps are energetic, fun and safe, with options for modifications if needed. Evolve welcomes everyone with no judgement. The other members are awesome, you will quickly feel like you are working out with friends. Evolve is so proud of their fitness community and they give so much back. Evolve is without question the best gym and I am so happy they are a part of my fitness journey.

Lora Lee Brown

I started at Evolve 3 years ago and it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’m 53 and I am stronger and healthier than I have ever been. The trainers are all excellent. It’s a very supportive community where both the trainers and other clients encourage you to reach your goals. They not only train you physically but teach about nutrition and other habits that help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. All fitness levels work together in a fun environment.

Anna Conner

I have been with this gym for over four years and this gym is amazing! They work really hard to continue to shift and change to meet the needs of their clients. Never a boring session. Everyone is super friendly, caring and positive in their approach but they are not afraid to help you push through. Lol. Another aspect that I love is how much they give back to the community. There always seems to be a drive on to benefit not for profits or small businesses in the area. 10 out of 10. :) Anna

Erin Samchyk

Great workouts, awesome atmosphere, even better trainers! I was already impressed with the Evolve team when starting at the gym shortly before the pandemic began, but to see this team adapt to offer a virtual program just further demonstrates how much they care for and go above and beyond for their community. If you’re looking for an inclusive community to support you in your individual pursuit of fitness and a healthy lifestyle, this is your program. You won’t regret it! ????????????????

Rob Kanaan

Evolve has everything you need to help you achieve your fitness goals. Friendly staff, knowledgeable coaches, and a motivating environment. The workouts are fast, fun, and effective. No need for you to make a playlist or charge your headphones because Mitch keeps the tunes pumping! Whether you are new to the gym or just looking for a change, you will feel right at home at Evolve.

Kristi A

Evolve has a super welcoming environment. I have been a member of their virtual gym for the past few months, and have found it a great resource as I work towards better fitness and overall health. Having the option to do this online makes it more accessible and affordable to me. I have felt part of a larger community, which helps to motivate me each day. Thanks, Evolve!

Heather McEwen

Everything you’ve heard about Evolve is true. I’ve been following along with their social media for a while now and really appreciated their fresh take on exercise and nutrition. They use their platform to promote realistic expectations, healthy habits and positive body image. I jumped at the chance to get involved and participate in their latest 6 week challenge. They lived up to my high expectations! The virtual classes are offered at a wide variety of times and even available as recordings if you can’t tune in live. The trainers are super engaging and I loved that each class was different. I’m amazed at what a community feel they can pull off, even virtually. I will be continuing my membership!

Sandye Prout

If you are ever on the fence about joining this gym DO IT!!! That was me before I joined the "Build Your 6 Pack Challenge." I thought "Hey, I'll reach out and see if I get a response." Not only did I get a response, there was no pressure, just honesty. The support and resources you get from this gym are amazing! I do everything virtual (because I live too far away for in-person everyday) and still feel like I'm part of the community. Literally, one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Terry-Lynn Stevens

Friendly, professional staff who take the time to ensure your health and fitness goals are achievable. A variety of classes available for every fitness level. I am never made to feel out of place...everyone is made to feel welcome...Love, love, love this place.

Jennifer Nauss

I've had many friends tell me to go to Evolve over the past two years. I LOVE working out at home (by myself) and have always strongly disliked the gym and group workouts. Something clicked four months ago and I decided to go, if only to hang out with my many friends that are regulars. Well, I've NEVER been happier with my fitness. I feel like a million bucks and am absolutely, without a doubt, in only four months, the fittest I've ever been in my life. Matt, Mitch and the entire team are exceptional at what they do. They are SO much about each and every person that walks through their doors. I have no idea how they have the energy and memory to put the effort forth that they do with each person, but somehow they pull it off. They're incredibly genuine people and their mission is truly to help people be their healthiest selves. I think the number one thing I love about Evolve is that there's no "all or nothing" mentality. They preach making lifestyle choices that you can stick to for your life, in exercise and nutrition. That means eating the cookies! There is so much guidance and support. Can't recommend Evolve and the team enough! And if you're intimidated by the gym in any way shape or form ... I promise you after one class those fears will be gone!
