Super gym! I’ve been a member for about 4 months now and the progress I’ve made is amazing! The coaches are very knowledgeable and motivating which really give you the confidence to achieve so much more then you would on your own. There is also a great community feel which makes sessions really enjoyable.

High-quality work out (mostly circuit, meaning all levels can train together) with a variety of drills, motivating environment, plus an easy platform to book sessions that best fit your schedule. I joined a month ago, and I was welcomed by friendly coaches and challenging exercises. Evo Didsbury is definitely a keeper!

Amazing little gym in the perfect location. The trainers are fab and really invested in pushing you to achieve your goals. I’d never lifted weights before, and now I’m hooked! The social side is such a bonus too. I joined just after moving to Didsbury and have made friends for life. Thanks to the whole Evo team for running such a fabulous gym!

Joined Evo a few weeks ago and honestly it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The team are so friendly, helpful and encouraging and I felt at ease immediately. They talk you through each exercise to make sure you are doing it correctly and safely. There is no competitiveness and everybody is so lovely and supportive. Each exercise is tailored to the individual and their fitness level so you can work out at your own pace. Worth every penny. I would highly recommend!

Having recently joined Evo following a period of indecision around whether to try weight training, I could not be happier with my choice to take up the trial and officially sign-up. The team are very supportive, knowledgeable and offer advice tailored to your aims and progress. The atmosphere created by other members is also one of support and encouragement which is a great bonus. I’m already beginning to feel the benefits after only 6 weeks on both my physical and mental health.

I joined Evo back in May 2015 as a way of getting myself back to the gym. I had always gone to the gym on and off for at least 10 years previously, having been a member at least 2 or 3 other gyms and done all sorts of classes from Spin to Body Pump, Body Combat, Personal Training to yoga. I’d never really found my thing though. That changed when I started doing PT with Jake in the field behind my apartment, come rain or shine. He introduced me to boot-camp type exercising on a one-to-one basis and then I started going to Evo Camp in the Hall on Palatine road, along with small group PT sessions that we had out of a shed in Josh’s back garden. It was so much fun! Absolutely knackering, but I quickly realized Evo was more than just a gym as we would go on socials doing everything from the pub quiz to Jump Nation to wine tasting to Total Ninja. January 2016 brought a new string to the Evo bow with the introduction of EVO lift. I was absolutely hooked. Throughout 2016 I probably averaged about 5-7 sessions a week of lift and camp and have never been so fit before – I even got member of the year at the Xmas Party (still got the trophy haha). Fast forward to September 2017 and I moved from Chorlton to Withington, carefully choosing where I bought my house to ensure I could still go to Evo. (Yes, Evo is THAT good!) Since then I have been on countless Evo socials, every single summer and Xmas party, done two Rough Runners (including one in the middle of Storm Brian), been kayaking, bowling, (lots of) drinking and generally had a ball. My entire way of viewing the gym and exercising had totally changed and I stopped looking at it as punishment and thought of it as something to genuinely look forward to. My focus was on the numbers I was lifting not the numbers on the scale or the tape measure. I naturally got slimmer and more toned when going regularly but that wasn’t the goal. My goals constantly changed as I got stronger and when I look back on my 50kg deadlift target, glad I started somewhere, but ending on a PB of 145kg for two reps. I have never felt so proud of or comfortable in my own skin as knowing what my body is capable of thanks to Evo. I have made so many friends there as well and I know many couples that have met there and there’s even been an Evo marriage. Not many gyms can say that! December 2022 was my last month with Evo and the end of an era as I have had to move to North Manchester, so it’s not feasible to commute back to Didsbury sadly (hurry up and open one is Whitefield / Prestwich Josh!!) I thought I’d end with a few numbers to sum up my time at Evo over the years: Socials: approximately 30 Evo camps: around 520 Evo lifts: around 1100 Deadlift: 145kg Bench: 70kg Squat: 120kg Years at Evo: 7.5 Friends made: 90+ Weight lost: don’t know, don’t care

I’ve been going to Evo for a few weeks and have had a really positive experience. The training is really good and the social side of it is brilliant too. There are loads of social activities out of hours as well as a great social side to the training. Personally Evo has been great for me as I have a condition that means I need to take extra care when doing exercises and am prone to more sports injuries. I feel the trainers make a really big effort to find alternative exercises to help me and are always full of great advice. A lot of the time it feels like I have my own personal trainers.

Great community gym, with knowledgeable, and supportive trainers, in a motivational, and friendly atmosphere. I have just completed my 1 month trial, and have now signed up as a member. I am looking forward to continuing my training at Evo, and also getting involved in some of the social activities they run outside the gym too!

I've been coming for about 5 months now and really enjoyed my time at Evo! The trainers are super supportive & knowledgeable and the smaller group sessions are good for 1-1 feedback on technique for lifts. Really welcoming vibe!

I cannot recommend Evo enough. All the staff are super friendly, supportive and really push you to reach your goals. I am enjoying trying new things that I would have never done at a gym by myself. I enjoyed my trial and have since joined as a member. I've only been going for 5 weeks and can already feel a difference in myself physical and mentally. Thank you so much Evo! 😊

What can I say about Evo? Just join! I've been a member for over a year and totally love it! The coaches, the atmosphere, the other members, the socials - it's the whole package! Not only am I physically the strongest that I've ever been but my old aches are all gone and my posture has never been better. Can't thank the team enough, it's more like going to catch up with your mates than working out. 5 star all the way!

A welcoming fun environment with clear and helpful coaches!! I have never attended a gym regularly, but since joining evo I have been 3 times a week for 3 months! And I still want to go back! Would 💯 recommend!

I'm fairly new to Evo but loving it so far! The trainers are super knowledgable, helpful and really encouraging. The classes are a good balance of challenging and accessible - I've enjoyed both the Lift and Camp classes though I initially joined more for the strength training. It also seems like a really fun, friendly bunch of people. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a balance of personal training attention but with a nice social environment thrown in.

I just moved to the area and Evo is the perfect place to not only meet new people with similar interests, but to push your training to new limits and grow in confidence too. The trainers are all amazing and hilarious as well. What more could you want?? I love this gym, it's well worth the money 💰

I am 3 weeks into my 4 week trial and I have just signed up to continue after it ends. I am really enjoying the sessions much more than I ever thought I would. The trainers are really motivating and make the workout enjoyable and engaging. They are always offering support and encouragement to push myself further than I thought possible. Evo is great value for money and I would highly recommend you try it.

In the final week of my trial and have really enjoyed all the sessions; coming from having not been to a gym in close to two years. I have definitely felt I have improved in fitness and strength. The community is definitely the thing that makes Evo stand out above the rest though.

If you’re interested in lifting weights in a friendly group setting, Evo is the gym for you. Perfectly situated off Burton Road (best of luck avoiding that post-gym beer!), it’s a fab environment for both beginners, and more seasoned gym goers, to push themselves and get stronger. The coaches really make Evo, with their great knowledge, and (occasionally) great banter. Regular testing weeks ensure you stay top of your game strength-wise, and regular socials, well they’re just good for the soul! The manager really goes above and beyond, and genuinely cares about each and every member. Whether you’re new to the area, new to lifting weights, or could just do with a little guidance and extra motivation when it comes to weight training, I couldn’t recommend Evo enough.

I absolutely love this place. I joined Evo a couple of months ago because after growing bored of my regular gym classes (and admittedly falling off the wagon a little bit because of this!) I wanted a new challenge. The classes are absolutely amazing, they really push you and I cannot stress enough how incredible you feel when you walk out of there! Such a great serotonin booster! The camp sessions really test your endurance while the lift sessions allow you to build on your strength each week - I had zero upper body strength when I first started and I’m already seeing improvements in just a few weeks! The trainers are beyond brilliant, and for me, this is what makes this place stand head and shoulders above the rest. It’s obvious that they all care about every single member - they’re all very encouraging, supportive and celebrate your wins with you! I’ve had PTs in the past but none of them match these guys’ energy, motivational skills or top tier banter. The whole atmosphere at the club is just so warm and friendly and they do great socials too - I’ve already made some pals for life! Evo have completely changed my attitude towards fitness. Although I started to see physical improvements in just a matter of weeks, it’s not about the number on the scales for me anymore, it’s about getting healthier and stronger and each time I lift even just a little bit more - it’s the best feeling ever! I have way more energy, I’m sleeping much better and I’ve seen such an improvement in my overall mood and confidence - all my friends and family are constantly saying I’ve got my “happy glow” back! I cannot recommend this place enough. It has improved so many areas of my life and I wish I’d joined sooner!!

As someone who hadn’t lifted weights before, I now thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Evo! There is support throughout to ensure you are lifting correctly and advice on how much to lift etc to ensure you progress. Everyone is very friendly - would recommend to people of all abilities.

I joined Evo about 8 weeks ago and can already see a difference. The classes all feel very like PT sessions and the coaches are brilliant and motivating. A great gym!

Excellent trainers, sociable and supportive members, interesting classes and a real commitment to help members reach their goals. I’ve been going to Evo for over a year and it’s the only thing that I’ve stuck with consistently! I can honestly say that I still really look forward to going to sessions every week and I actually miss it when I can’t go! Never thought I’d say that!!

I joined Evo as it had a combination of weight training and high intensity work outs. After doing the trial I was more than happy to continue my membership. The people, the trainers and the program is amazing. Could not recommend this place enough!!

I've been going to EVO for about 5 months now and am really enjoying it, the small group training sessions make the coaching really personal and everyone is so friendly. I was fairly new to weight training but the coaches are all so supportive and really encourage you to push yourself every session and the testing weeks motivate you and highlight your progress. I work shifts but with the variety of sessions available I can still fit in 3-4 sessions a week but wish I could do more!

I’ve completed my trial with Evo and became a fully fledged member a couple of weeks ago. The style of training and environment is exactly what I was looking for. Everyone’s really friendly, trainers are lovely and know their stuff - they give great advice on form and make lifting especially feel less intimidating and provide a safe space to challenge yourself but in a fun way. Already feeling stronger and fitter, doing things I’ve never done before and looking forward to what the next couple of months brings!
