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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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!

Evolve Fitness is more than a gym you are joining a family. Whether in person or virtually you have the same attention from the trainers. They are here for any of your questions to fitness and healthy lifestyle. They offer so much you will never be bored. I love the knowledge that each trainer brings to a class. They are trained and well schooled in what they are teaching. I have been a member for almost a year and find the attention I receive hasn't changed and appreciate all they give to make sure you get a full service workout, yoga or Mindfulness class.

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!

I joined Evolve in 2018 during a leave from my job. I had decided to join a challenge never really expecting to continue a membership. I was so nervous stepping foot into my first ever bootcamp. Being part of this community has changed me in so many ways - I'm stronger, fit and more self-confident. The trainers are all so encouraging and motivate you to push yourself. Stop in and check it out for yourself! Once you try a class or two, you'll be convinced its the best thing you can do for you!!

I joined Evolve a month ago at the Bedford location. I took advantage of a trial offered with all proceeds going to the wild fire relief. I was so impressed that the business owner is part of the community and has a desire to give back. I love the vibe of the gym. The coaches are so motivating, keeping the movements safe while encouraging you to push harder. The workouts cater to any fitness level. I would definitely recommend Evolve and I am excited to continue my membership.

I started somewhat reluctantly at Evolve thinking "can this gym be better than any of the MANY MANY other gyms I have joined in my lifetime"? Well... I am here to say that EVOLVE is an entirely different experience … and in a good way!! The word community gets mentioned a lot… and Evolve is exactly that ... a community that makes you feel welcome, comfortable from day one, and a community where all of the instructors are there to set you up for success. It is like every session is a personal training session. The equipment is set up and ready to go, the instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging and motivating, but at the same time are aware that proper techniques are important, and recognize what may not be in your comfort zone physically. I am waiting for a knee replacement and have had two hip replacements, so knowing this, every instructor was happy to provide me with alternative exercises that could accomplish the same thing without risk of pain and injury, this is so important to me. The best part is there are a wide selection of workouts and times which are quick and fun, and work total body ... strength and cardio and as well yoga ! Matt and Mitch, are checking in to ensure that you are on track with workouts, dietary tips and mental tips to keep one engaged. These gentlemen are running a tight ship, it is a finely oiled machine, and I have yet to find one person who has not enjoyed their experience at Evolve… so they must be doing something right !!!! Two thumbs up and five stars from me.

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.

These folks are awesome and totally dedicated to helping people get healthier. They also make it a priority to help local charities and have great deals to get people started. They truly care and make it a part of their business model which is so refreshing. The gym has a great atmosphere and caters to the 5lb lifter just as much as the 100+lb lifter. Everyone can go at their own pace and the trainers help you out right away if they notice your form is off. They are encouraging and want you to be successful in reaching your goals. It's a great gym!

Absolutely LOVE Evolve fitness. I joined after having my first baby, was not in the best of shape and struggled to consistently show up to a traditional gym. Evolve’s workout programs are amazing and and motivate me to show up. This gym has helped turn me into a much healthier, active and happy person. It is such a welcoming environment and I would recommend it to anyone searching for an inclusive gym!

Evolve is so much more than just a gym, it truly is a community. Everyone is so supportive and the atmosphere is friendly and non-competitive. Before joining Evolve, I never considered myself a “gym person” and never stuck with a workout routine. The trainers and fellow members here have given me the confidence and knowledge to take control of my health and fitness and finally make progress toward my goals. I can’t say enough about this place, it’s totally worth it!

I have done the 6 week challenge and while I was so nervous starting out I am so glad I did it. Evolve is such a great community. Everyone is helpful and kind, from Matt and Mitch to all the coaches and trainers, to all the members. Everyone is willing to help and there is no judgement. It’s a completely different gym environment than I have experienced before in a very positive way. Highly recommend!!!

Evolve is amazing! The workouts are really challenging and the instructors are there helping you along the way with your form and are really encouraging. Really great community. I love that there are lots of class options and I’m not always on a waitlist. I’d recommend it to anyone.

Was my first time there. Did the Bootcamp class. My first time in years in a gym. Bootcamp might not have been the best choice for an intro but I have to say the lady was very helpful and showed me how to do it at my own pace. So I didn't feel embarrassed or like I was holding the class back. Will go back for sure!

I joined Evolve for their 6 week challenge and love every minute of it! The classes are fun and the music keeps you going. Aaron has been my bootcamp instructor and he is a great motivator 🙂

I've been going to Evolve for just over a month now and I love it! I love showing up, getting a solid 40-minute workout in, and getting on with my day. The instructors are all super helpful and knowledgeable, there's always a modification available for each exercise, and the atmosphere in class is awesome. Really nice to be able to supplement my strength training with the cardio and yoga classes available too. The instructors go out of their way to get to know your name and I like working out with people of all ages! If you haven't tried Evolve yet you should :)

I joined Evolve during a 6 week challenge and it really helped me get back into routine! The space is welcoming and the workouts are efficient. I also love how they have classes through out the day instead of just typical hours. Highly recommend!

I tried the 6 week challenge that was offered for $1 and it was the best decision ever! Higher intensity workouts is something I love and can never bring myself to do on my own, so I’m a big fan of the cardio classes. I get excited to go to these workouts, with the push from instructors and a class full of people with some music the workouts are fun and just what I needed! I already can feel a difference in my body and the 6 week challenge isn’t over yet, but I’ll definitely be purchasing a membership once it ends!

I never thought I would enjoy working out - especially at 6am - like I have at Evolve! The instructors are so helpful to make sure you get the most out of the classes, and there is a great selection of times to attend throughout the day. The people you meet are full of positivity, so you'll start your day with a good shot of endorphins. The music is pumping, the amenities are great, the communication is excellent, and the classes are addictive. "Evolve" has done just that and created a new and comfortable gym environment that I'm glad to be a part of.

I am a big fan of Evolve! I have been doing the 6 week challenge in the Halifax location. Before I started, it had been years since I had set foot in a gym. On my first night I was nervous but every person I met was helpful and welcoming. Nothing has changed since that first night! This gym has a friendly feel and even as a newbie I felt like I was part of the family. If you have been out of the "game" for a while this is a great place to get back in to in!!

Evolve Fitness has cracked the code to creating a platform for a healthier lifestyle. I’ve tried gym memberships, workout classes, every diet you can think of, but I have never been so motivated by my own success like I have been at evolve. The fundamentals are laid out for you and the friendliest staff help you figure your way through it all. The facility is so clean and welcoming and all of the trainers are amazing.

I originally joined Evolve Fitness in 2018 while recovering from a brain injury. I was immediately impressed with not only the speed at which I gained strength, but with the consistent assistance I received from the trainers on how to modify the exercises to suit my limited ability. I returned in February of this year (after a break) with other challenges to address. Once again, I am impressed with the level of competence of the staff and the welcoming and accommodating facility. This is truly a place where people of different ages and ability can set and achieve their goals while receiving support. Safe, fun, encouraging and effective! Many thanks to the team at Evolve for your knowledge and support!

What an amazing Team you have. The classes are great. Team Dartmouth all day!! Every class had us feeling the heat. I enjoyed Evolves program where you don't have to set anything up it is ready and planned out. Remember to push along for all the right reasons & there's always help from the instructor and other members. Thank you all. Stay busy & staying moving. Ash

I have been a member of 4 different gyms in Halifax over the years and Evolve is on a level all their own! Such an amazing and supportive group! So many classes to choose from and so many different fitness levels! The owners and coaches genuinely want to help you reach your goals. I cannot say enough great things about Evolve! Well done!!

This place is so much more than a gym. It’s actually a community of some of the absolute best coaches and trainers out there. It won’t take long for you to meet wonderful like minded people there who will start off as strangers, but will quickly become your friends. Everyone at Evolve is always willing and able to educate you and guide you to help you achieve your fitness goals. You will always feel welcome and challenged whenever you attend any of the awesome fitness classes that they have at Evolve. I would not hesitate to recommend this gym to anybody of any age or fitness level. It will change your life.

I joined Evolve during a 6 week challenge and absolutely love it!! I find it overwhelming to have to think of workouts to do every day but at Evolve you can just walk in and have an amazing and effective workout already planned for you! The instructors are amazing! They are friendly, really care about you and your goals, help you with your form and can give modifications if needed.

Joining Evolve has been such a great decision. I've struggled for years with joining different gyms who offer a variety of options but do nothing to help keep me committed and engaged. Evolve has created such a welcoming community which starts with the owners, trainers and admin staff as well as all of the members. I've been a member for 4 months now and can't see myself ever stepping foot in another gym. If you're looking for an environment that helps you succeed and is there to support you, this is 100% the place you've been looking for!

So much support here and so welcoming. Love that we can bring our kids to certain classes and the instructor will watch the kid as well as train you! Well rounded in nutrition, and encourages you to live a balanced life and not just quick results. The gym is the best!

The new Dartmouth location is fantastic! Evolve goes above and beyond in creating a welcoming and supportive community. It’s unlike any other gym I’ve been to. The trainers are knowledgeable motivating, and will encourage you to do more than you think you’re capable of. Can’t recommend this gym enough, if you’re on the fence just join. You’ll wish you started sooner!!

Evolve has a great set up with fabulous classes at timings that work for everyone. Each day there was something available to me and the fact that yoga was included made it even better. I loved the options in each class I attended but also that I was given the best direction on how to do exercises. The trial I joined for 30 days got me back in the habit of using the gym and I will continue to now thanks to them. Great people, good communication and no pressure just accountability.

The Best Gym on the planet! They know your name and treat you like a family! I am in a Small group for 50+ members which is so awesome Thanks to the training, trainers and also supportive members I managed to recovered there from knee replacement surgery, no physio necessary for me anymore. And the challenges that you can sign up for are so realistic and doable, they prove that anything can be done and achieved if you put your mind to it. Fantastic place and the best people, they get you and they support you! I love it and I recommend it to everybody!

I love the boot camp style classes at Evolve! You never have to think about what you’re going to do, you just have to show up. I have always felt welcome and the instructors are friendly and helpful. It’s a real community that helps you focus on feeling strong and healthy, and not just on weight loss. They have “challenges” throughout the year which provide extra fun, motivation, and positive lifestyle goals and habits. They also have parent and baby classes which have been helpful for me as a new parent trying to get back into exercise!

Hands down, the best choice I have made was joining Evolve Fitness. I have been going since March 2022 and have seen a big change in my energy levels and fitness goals. There's such a community vibe as soon as you walk in the doors. All the trainers are incredibly friendly. They quickly learn your name, and take an interest in you, no matter your fitness level. The 30 or 40 minute classes go by super fast, and I always feel amazing when I leave. It’s a life-changing gym experience and I highly recommend Evolve to all my friends and family who want to improve their health and fitness.

Joining Evolve is the best investment I have made in myself. When you join, you join a gym and a community. A community of dedicated trainers and owners who are there to support you, answer questions, motivate you, push you at all the right times and teach you so much about health and wellness. You join a community of members who are all so kind and supportive. Prior to Evolve, I had joined and been to other gyms and I have never been so motivated and dedicated to consistent routines; this is due to truly loving the environment. Their challenges are a great way to get started and stay consistent with healthy habits. I started with a challenge 1 year ago and have done every one since! To top this all off, I love the fact that Evolve is so committed to giving back to the community. Best gym ever!!

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!
