LOVE this place!!! The instructors are amazing and push you to do your best and the other clients are so supportive of each other too. 100% recommend trying it out <3

Matt Dyck

The sign-up process, measurements, weigh-in and introduction were simple and smooth. Sheldon's team is well organized and they get results!

I have been going to this gym for over 4 years and love it. It has a family type environment and everyone there supports and drives you like no other gym I've ever been to. They offer a variety of exercises to push you at whatever level you're at and most importantly, there is no judgement. It has really been the perfect place for my fitness journey and I hope to be going here for many years to come!

I completed the 12 week challenge with Sheldon and Carolyn as my Coach.. they provided me with all the tools and support to see me through! I lost 21 lbs and reached my goal weight! The classes were tough, but short and quick and to the point! The in studio classes are small ( only 9 to a class) which is perfect for those who don’t like to train in a group. Zoom meetings and classes while COVID has locked us down is easily done at home in a small space! You will love Sheldon’s personality and I highly, highly recommend joining this gym if you want to lose weight, build muscle and feel good! I will miss Evolution Fitness, I am leaving only because I’m moving out of town and won’t be feasible for me to return in class, but I now have the tools to maintain my fitness and my weight. I love Sheldon and Carolyn and recommend Evolution Fitness!

Had the opportunity to do the 12 week challenge. It's a good way to lose some weight, get some new found energy and getting into better habits. The staff is very professional and makes sure you stay on top of things. They really get down to your level to make things work for you. I really recommend this gym for someone as a solid place to hone mind and body on their fitness journey.

When advertising a free 6 weeks, should really disclosed the fine print. Not everyone has $499 on hand without warning. yes you get it back at the end when you complete the program but it would of been nice to know before coming in and signed up that you need to pay in order to get the 6 weeks program.

Nicole Walker

Thankfully we got our money back from this very dishonest business after a few months via a credit card dispute. Sheldon has no business running a business. Organisational skills we lacking. Didn't measure my bmi till a week after i started training for the 6 week challenge Lost my measurements as well as other members. Had to give me my money back. Challenge said 6% body fat or 25 pounds. My husband lost 9% body fat and then sheldon decided on his own to judge him on the pounds because he lost 17 as a means to not refund money. Then he wanted to charge for meal plans as a way not to give back the money. See you in court buddy. So many othee member have the same complaint. Stop making people rate your gym when you sign them up. Let them have a chance to see the real you. Even blocked us from his fb secret page as a means to not tell other member. Just sad, petty, and unprofessional . You are such a liar. You also lost my body fat measuremens. When i had my meeting with you, you had nothing for me. No measurements no bmi but had the nerve to say we will figure it out. If according to you we sat and decided on 25 lbs for Nicholas, why did you come in on the sunday a week after we joined to measure both our body fat? Why did you tell him congrats on the 9% fat loss? Why did you tell him his card would not be debited and you went and took money out for two weeks off his credit card. I was on the phone when he met with you last telling him what questions to ask you and listening to your response.. you are as shady as they come. Another prime example why its hard to support our own. Dont be dishonest and shady to prosper. Thats not the way to build your business. Our complaint is already at the better business bureau. There were so many other members whose measurements were lost as well or were unhappy with you business.practices. This isnt over. And to all 6 week challenge members beware. Its more of a cash grab than anything. We will also be needing a copy of the contract. Please email asap

Easy to sign up, but if you need to cancel for whatever reason the beard is in the wind.

Evolution fitness is a place where it is judgement free, result oriented and the trainers sincerely care to see results!

carmen fearon

Look forward to going and working out. The Trainers are very supportive and willing to work with you. Love this place. Finally found the work out I'm looking for.

Christine Musseau-Drover

I can't say enough about Evolution Fitness Training and about Sheldon Scott and his amazing staff of trainers. They all go above and beyond to help you get to your desired weightloss and fitness journey. I walked into evolution feeling discouraged a low self esteem overweight and other things . After speaking to Sheldon Scott I knew I was in the right place and felt like home. I have not looked back since September 2016. Since then I have lost 25 pounds and 15 inches maybe more . All the trainers encourage motivate and inspire you to be the best that you can be. This place is worth more than 5 stars it's worth a million. Thank you Evolution Fitness Training. If you need a place to get results fast this is it. Trust me you won't regret it.

Jennifer Butwell

Great trainers and fun classes! I saw amazing results from the 6 week challenge! You have to work hard, but the support, education and tools you get from the trainers is awesome!

I had several personal trainers before Sheldon and he was by far the best. I honestly wish I was still with him but I ran into some family issues and some health issues of my own which caused me to quit seeing him.

I work out at life time and organization is key to keeping track of anyone body. For a place to charge an expensive amount and loose measurements but expect to tel people they didn’t meet the goal that’s skechy and not professional in healthy fitness training — from what I’ve read I would not even be mentioning this place to anyone. False advetsting is not right. Practise what you preach people !!

Roxanne Meek

I have never been part of anything like this!! I have always been in and out of gyms because nothing has ever fit quite right. At EVO, the owners are amazing, every single trainer is incredible and they all make you feel like you can accomplish anything!! Every member supports and encourages each other to be better & work harder! If you want results, this is the place to be!! Evolution is not just a gym, it’s a FAMILY and it’s a MOVEMENT!!! I am so thankful to have this amazing group of people as a big part of my life!!!!

Roohan Chadha

The best gym and trainer ( Sheldon) you will find in the Durham region.

Kathern Otter

I started attending classes here because I wanted to get back into shape after having a baby. I was super nervous at first because I’ve always hated working out in front of people but the atmosphere and trainers are amazing. They make you feel great and help you get the most of out the work out by pushing you and making sure you are actually doing the exercises properly. After only a month I can already see such a difference!

Nina

Amazing gym with incredible trainers. The members are encouraging and helpful. Great place to hit up!

Sandra Holder

Amazing place and the team is very supportive!!!

Larraine Baldsing

Amazing gym, even better people. I feel stronger than ever with the great workouts offered !

Kayla Bridgman

I signed up for Sheldon’s 6-week boot camp and I absolutely love that you can attend any class you want. I just finished my second workout there and I’m eager to keep going back. The class sizes are smaller and there’s tons of space to be comfortable while working out. Both classes I’ve taken have been instructed by Reannen and she’s fantastic at showing the proper form to take when working out and giving feedback at whether you’re doing it right or not. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow!!!

Tanya Delhanty

This is the best place to workout. The trainers are well educated and keep you motivated with every workout. You are not only a member you are family. I have been to other gyms but never have I come close to achieving my goal. i have lost inches as well as weight. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to achieve their goals and have fun doing it.

Christy Boyes

Amazing 1st week!

rachel gartlan

Staff are very knowledge and keep you motivated! A great environment to surround yourself in to make healthy lifestyle changes!

Jane Watkins

Very positive and always willing to help

Cee Jay

Week one and it's on a positive trend. The info garned from the classes. Tried yoga for the fist time. Form corrections which is actually making a huge impact on my body and motivation. Meal planning. .. I always winged it as a result I was always wanting to snack. And ending up eating the wrong foods. Now when I am hungry I have the right the right foods there to satisfy my hunger. AND guess what it has reduced my cravings. Cannot wait to see what happens in the following weeks.

Denise Langille

It’s been a bit scary to try to change a lifestyle in such a big way! But so far it’s been ok. I’m doing it! My first class today left me feeling wobbly but I’m still looking forward to my next class! Thanks for the support of your great staff!

Breyden Stalker

This place is out of this world. I️ thought that I would never get fit or love my body. Let me tell you, the trainers are there with you every step of the way, the fellow boot campers are a family to you and this is the real deal. Meal plans are easy and a joy to follow and the workouts are steller! Train insane or remain the same. Just sign up, I️ promise you, you won’t regret it.

Randy Gorrill

Amazing gym. Great friendly and caring staff. Applicable to all levels of fitness, they will work with and push you. Great atmosphere. After a whole year of all sorts of different circumstances I still feel this place can help change anyone. Love the Evo Fam

Danielle Demerse

I love Evolution Fitness Training because it leaves me feeling motivated and excited for my next workout!!

Marsha Palmer

Phenomenal trainers whom are professional and knowledgeable. Every fitness level matters and great attention is given to you being successful in your goals. I am healthier and more fit as a result. Yes, I absolutely recommend Evolution Fitness Training to assist you with your workout goals.

Wendy Wright

Loving this gym. The workouts are dynamic, engaging, always different. Body and mind working hard and feeling great since joining. Trainers are personable and helpful. They continuously push you to reach higher limits. Come and try it out you’ll not regret the decision! Wendy

Kaaleen Joseph

This is a gym for anyone who has decided to finally take their fitness and health seriously. If you want a cheap quick fix to loose weight.. find another gym! This gym requires hard work, dedication and commitment. It may be pricier than other gyms in the area but those other gyms will not get you the results Evolution fitness will get you. Evolution Fitness offers things that other gyms just don't have.. want to know what they are? Guess you'll have to join the family.

Robin Hillyer

Great trainers and invigorating classes! Well done, Sheldon and staff!

Brittany Turner

Evolution fitness training is incredible! The trainers are amazing and will definitely push you beyond your fitness limits giving you noticeable results fast! They offer classes for all fitness levels and a variety of class times throughout the week which makes it perfect for individuals with busy schedules to still be committed. You will receive emails with nutrition and fitness tips that will motivate you to stay focused on your goals. I definitely recommend Evolution for everyone looking toenhance their personal performance when it comes to health and fitness!

JT Sly

Evo fitness is the best workout place I have been to

Madison Claringbold

I joined for the initial 6 wk bootcamp but can't imagine training anywhere else!! These trainers are phenomenal and everyone that shows up to any class is amazing and supportive!! Loving this gym!!

jamila mccarthy

Do not be fooled by smooth operator and proven liar Sheldon Scott. The program is not ‘free’. I was told to pay $790 upfront but would be entitled to a full refund if I lost 6% body fat.I completed the 6 week program and never even had my body fat measured at this gym so I went and had it measured on my own at good life. At the end of the program I had lost more than 6% body fat based on the scale at good life. Meanwhile Sheldon told me he could determine my body fat by using my body measurements (in inches). He determined that I lost 1.8% body fat. I knew right away that I was being scammed to try and keep my money. After writing a negative google review (after weeks of no response to my emails) Sheldon contacted me saying if I wrote a positive review and send him the results I got from good life gym he would refund my money. I put a positive review about a week ago (I lost 17 lbs so the program did have its positive results for me) and have heard nothing from him since, though I have emailed him several times.Beware this man and this gym for shady practices. My name is Zabrina Albarus however I had to post under my friend’s account as I do not have one of my own.

Dwayne Lovell

There is a lot of misrepresentation should be more clear what they're offering

Diane Murli

I joined Evolution fitness a month ago, and it has been the best decision that I have made for my health and well being. This gym provides a wide array of classes seven days a week. The trainers are phenomenal and the members are amazing and are very welcoming and supportive.

Jennifer Hiddink

Just completed the 12 week boot camp, had an amazing time. I’m going to continue my weight loss journey with them. Sheldon and Carolyn are very friendly and knowledgeable about how to get healthy and stay healthy. I have some physical difficulties and they worked with me to modify the exercises and still get results.

Steve Griffiths

Used to be a great place. Now they spam former members with unsolicited text messages, to the point where blocking their numbers became necessary. You might want to find a more professional way to advertise. You're on the same level as "the air duct cleaning company" at this point.

Eva Guta

I had a very good experience at Evolution Fitness. For someone who dislikes cooking, measuring meal portions, and eating 5 times/day I did very well with the support and encouragement from Carolyn and Sheldon. I found the recipe booklet very useful and used it for inspiration. The zoom workouts are easy to follow and Sheldon explains each exercise. If modifications are needed, all you have to do is follow Carolyn. If you feel enthusiastic, try following Sheldon ;). All in all, I accomplished the goals I set for myself. I highly recommend this gym and program. Give it a try, you won't regret it! Good luck on your journey!

Sheldon Scott

Amazing experience!!

Hamza Elfhal

Big shoutout to Evolution Fitness, Amazing gym. I have completed my six week program and feel like a new person no joke! they really do work with you and push you to your limits. It’s hard to stay positive and train all the time, but with Evolution Fitness even if u don’t feel like working out, all you got to do is show up and they pump you up and get you in the mood to kill another workout! Thanks again to the Evolution Team !!

Emily Jones

Evolution Fitness is an amazing gym to be part of. The community becomes family. It’s more than just a workout and gym but a whole experience that includes meal planning and individualized support. I have been attending for 3.5 years now and saw my body transform in the first few months and continue to over the past 3.5 years. The trainers are amazing and always willing to help and answer questions. They tailor your program and meal plans to meet your individual needs. If you haven’t already, you need to check it out ????!

NICHOLAS WALKER

My wife and I have participated in the 6 weeks Challenge at this establishment where the contract clearly states lose 25lbs or 6% body fat and was determined to achieve our goal. It was decided by the owner Sheldon and US that because my did not have 25 lb to lose she then only had one option 6% body fat. I on the other hand still had both options to work with. Before we started our Weight and measurements were taken on the day of signing the contract but our Body fat percentage was not. The following Monday was suppose to be our start date but couldn't because our meal plan was not given to us and communication with the administration was very poor. Eventually we got the meal plan and started the following Monday. At this point our Body fat % was not taken and with communication being very poor we had it done by Sheldon Sunday after we started . Which was a bit unfair to us knowing that your fastest losses comes in your first week. We both continued with the challenge determined to meet our goals. We were inspired by the other members trying to meet their goals as well and the trainers that did a very good job with the classes . By the 3rd week I had ĺost 10lbs and 7% body fat My wife on the other hand all her measurements was lost most importantly in her case her body fat percentage which was very disappointing to her its like whats her goal now and she was not the only person that happened with . At the end of the 6 weeks there was no measurements provided for my wife so Sheldon had no choice but to refund her money . I on the other hand knowing that I have achieved my goal with 9% body fat and 17lbs decided I will stay on with a membership of a weekly payment of $37.00 per week for 1 year and $30.00 cancellation free at any time . I then ask would any money be debated of my account before my refund of $564,99 is absorbed I was told no . I then said ok and give my payment information to Sheldon . I remained at the gym 2 weeks after the 6 weeks Challenge and at the very beginning of the 3rd week deductions for 2 weeks payments was debited from my account when i ask why I was told that it for my membership fee. I then ask what happened to My $564,99 and was told it went towards my yearly membership. I then said I no longer wants to be a member of your gym so keep the 2 weeks deductions you have already taken and refund me back my money. I was then told that the 6 weeks Challenge money will not be refunded because I did not meet my goal . However because it a new contract that I had signed I would be changed on a month to month rate for the 2 extra weeks which is $249.99+taxes and was told no need to come to the gym to collect my money I dont need to sign anything a partial refund will be made in 5-10 business days . Sheldon was so interested in getting my payment information we never signed a contract for the yearly membership. Long and short of it Sheldon is dishonest started coming up with all different charges to not refund my money and I'm not the first and will not be the last . I hope others read this and avoid doing business with Evolution fitness Oshawa the trainers were good but the management sucks . I was hearing the same complains when I was there but didn't believe it until it happen to me .

Tyler Gordon

What to say about Sheldon and his Staff: skilled, knowledgeable, attentive and driven. As a former athlete it was an amazing experience to be able to challenge myself daily, and see tangible results from one workout to the next. Personally I've benefited from: weight loss in all areas and inches as well, better core strength, flexibility and as an additional benefit Cardio (without those mundane cardio workouts). Variety is the spice of life; try as many different classes as you can. They all have different challenges, but their own individual benefits. The experience is fast paced and compact so your day isn't sacraficed, and my overall daily energy level is significantly improved. The diets are easy to follow, but meal prep does equal success in my opinion; take the time. I strongly suggest if you are on the fence you take the 6 week challenge. Challenges develop character, and 6 weeks is a small timeframe for any investment to bare this level of return. Thanks to everyone at Evoltuion Fitness. -Tyler

Thema Meyer

I happy to share that I have successfully completed the 6 week challenge. Personally I am not healthy nor do I work out regularly. After turning 30 I started to notice a lot of change in my body. I have grown more uncomfortable with the weight around my stomach. I have had a gym membership for years now but lack the motivation and displine to attend. The 6 week challenge gave me accountability to push through and get to class. The meal plan took the guess work out of what to eat and when. The staff members are welcoming and provided individual care and consideration throughout each class. With Evolutionary Fitness I was able to loose 10% body fat and overall 16inches. If your looking for results I would encourage you to let their team show you how.

Rachel Hodges

Variety of workouts and great trainers!

Rhythnm18 Media

Went in for measurements fast easy

David Sly

Love this gym. Great in many aspects. Classes where you can take your child with you to classes that will kick your butt!

Chanelle Courville

Awesome workouts but quite pricey.

Amanda S.

For our very first class My friend and I ambitiously signed up for 8pm Full Body Focus with Wendy. She was amazing and attentive with the whole class making it feel like one on one training. She was very encouraging and also made sure we didn't over do it and push ourselves too hard, so I would recommend this class to anyone at any level. She said we "beasted it" but I know that class kicked our butts lol looking forward to the next one! Thanks Wendy you're awesome!

Donna McCleary

The best thing about Evolution Fitness Training is that you evolve into a much better person overall, not just physically. The amazing trainers are knowledgeable and skillful. The classes are exciting and appropriate for every level of fitness. You are in a group setting but still get personal attention because the trainers actually take the time to get to know you and show a sincere interest in helping you achieve your goals. In all the years of trying different gyms and weight loss programs, this is the one gym that has shown me the best results for long term health!

Kristen Taylor

I REALLY like the classes! They're challenging whole still offering a variety of levels for all abilities and injuries. The only wish I have would be class times between 3-4:30 and more on weekends.

Robinn Bennett

This Gym is Amazing!! If you want results this is the place to be! I personaly have lost over 30lbs and kept it off. The Trainers are very knowledgeable and eager to help you reach your goals.

Great atmosphere and the members are very supportive, motivating, and welcoming!!! Come join the EVO family!
