😐 Budget Lifetime Fitness. It was always packed. Not 24/7. Facility is in rough shape, but who cares when you are getting pumped. Management was very helpful, but there wasn't enough variety in the equipment available. They have a lot of members. So, equipment availability was sparse at times. In fact... People often mention great, equipment, staff, Fitness, workout, sauna, fitness, years, friendly, pool,

    Budget Lifetime Fitness. It was always packed. Not 24/7. Facility is in rough shape, but who cares when you are getting pumped. Management was very helpful, but there wasn't enough variety in the equipment available. They have a lot of members. So, equipment availability was sparse at times. In fact, this is best managed budget gym I've attended. Facilities were really clean and I always felt welcomed. Really appreciated the variety in the free weights. I was hoping they would have more kinetic workout areas. The tires and beer kegs outside was a really cool addition this year. It was a good place to workout most of the time. Best times to go are first thing in the morning 6AM and very late at night 8-11PM. This would be a great club if they made some extensive improvements. I really see value in this location, and would come back as a member if they remodeled the club to be more inline with a Lifetime Fitness or just more modern. It's got a late 90's early 2000's vibe. I decided to join Anytime Fitness because of their multiple locations in the Twin Cities and better fit for my work situation.

    Since the most recent owners took over and Dean Gagnon is managing things are looking up. While there are still some cleanliness issues. The staff is amazing! They are engaged and appear to enjoy their jobs. They welcome clients with a smile and the energy is amazing. Angie is always willing to help and her personality is priceless. She is a GEM. Dean is very friendly and proactive. I appreciate all they do for the Country Inn by Carlson with a trade out for our guests. I am also personally training with Dana S. and I am very pleased with my progress.

    I've been going here since January 2022 and all in all, this gym is an excellent value for all the amenities offered. Cheapest gym in town. Racquetball courts, pool, hot tub, sauna, tanning beds, track and tons of equipment to choose from. The cleanliness has never been great. The showers are gross. The tanning bed rooms are very disgusting though. I use them regularly and see spiders in there frequently and tons of dirt and cobwebs on the walls, floor and behind the beds. If the gym starts cleaning these rooms better I'll change this to a 5 star review I promise! Update: Thank you for putting ant traps in the tanning bed rooms, listening to my concerns and implementing improvements! As promised, I updated my review to 5 stars!

    Wonderful place. The staff makes all the difference. Been a member for two plus years. Been treated like family since day one. Kept very clean. Some of the equipment might not be the newest but honestly a 45 lbs plate is 45 lbs plate. Just lift!

    This business and all the employees do such, such a great job. I couldn't imagine running a place so big, bust and full of sweaty, stinky people lol. They kill it from owners down to the part time employees. I really can't speak enough my only wish would be they had them all over. Thanks to every one I can't say enough good things.

    Body pump class at Fitness Evolution keeps me pumped up both physically and mentally. The exercise, the music, the instructors and the women and men in the classes are important in keeping me healthy and in shape. I am one of the older women in my class and because I have been a participant for over 10 yrs I am in shape and can up with the rest. Like the instructors say: 3x a week Body Pump keeps us strong, thank you Fitness Evolution!!!

    I am a disabled woman who has been taking the water Zumba class for well over ten years. It helps me a lot to improve my balance and basic fitness. I would recommend this class to everyone. Check it out.

    Went in as to ask for a pass for July 4th weekend. My in-laws go to this gym. $10 dollars for a day and $20 for a week as a 'guest pass'. No exceptions. I'm only in town for a couple of days. As a veteran who has traveled a lot I've had no problem getting free week passes into gyms. Usually they have an intro offer anyway for prospective clients. This is the first gym that has slapped me with ridiculous fees. 10 dollars for an hour? Might as well do push ups at home. If you look at google's business hours, the hour I stopped in was 'usually quiet'. Not like I'd be stealing machines or weights from anyone. It was dead in there. Poor poor service. Thanks for turning down a veteran July 4th weekend. Classy.

    Perfectly fine to me.. month to month membership, unlike anytime fitness where they make u sign up for 12 months... like another review said, if you are expecting a higher end establishment than go to lifetime fitness or some place in the cities that costs an arm and a leg.

    We’ve been going here for probably 6 years, we started because my medical insurance would reimburse us for going so we tried Fitness Evolution and found it very friendly, many people willing to help you and answer questions for you. You can just stop by when you want and work out or take one of their many classes or even get a personal trainer to get you in lean mean condition! Even just go to swim or play some racket ball, many options and everyone does their own thing. We highly recommend Fitness Evolution!

    This is their thermometer in the sauna because the other one is broke and doesn't read the right temp. The sauna is never as hot as a dry sauna should be. I was given a lame excuse stating it is with a photo of a thermometer reading 162.2. If it were that hot, there would be no complaint from me. But it's not, therefore, I complain.

    You get what you pay for. If you don't mind a dirty and packed gym than this place is great.

  • 3/5 Michael K. 4 months ago on Google
    It's the best fitness center in Buffalo. It does technically have a sauna but don't expect any peace or zen. And the hot tub doubles as a kiddie pool so don't be surprised if you get splashed. Otherwise this place has a lot to offer. Best in all of Buffalo. Just steer clear of the owner and grumpy old men and you wont be attacked.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 10 years ago on Google
    Great place to workout. Joined in early summer and in November I've dropped 55 pounds. They have all the equipment you need to meet all your fitness challenges. Definitely worth it!

  • 4/5 Bill M. 10 years ago on Google
    Joined over a year ago and even though I have not been as consistent as I would have liked the fitness center has always been up to date, clean and well staffed. I especially like the variety of workout options and the variety of clients, from Silver Sneakers to hard core workout buffs.

  • 5/5 Ryan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn’t workout at the location, but called their main line to discuss a billing problem (wrong company, dumb me) and the woman I spoke with was a sweetheart. If I make my way out toward North Minneapolis I’ll happily be stopping by for a workout.

  • 5/5 Jason S. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great place for working out! Pool area & sauna are a bit plus!

  • 5/5 John S. 11 months ago on Google
    Fitness evo is a very clean upbeat gym with lots of people working towards their goals and much equipment to do so. Nice pool area yoga rooms. Just overall a great place to get a lift in.

  • 5/5 Jesse G. 5 months ago on Google
    I have gone here for years it a great health club

  • 5/5 Abby N. 4 years ago on Google
    I don’t go here as much as I used to because I moved a little further away but I still have a membership because it is my favorite gym it is very big and there is a lot of equipment to choose from and separated off areas. The pool and hot tub is always kept very nice and it is really big in size. The sauna also is really tidy and hot. Lastly I enjoy the track upstairs for running because you have the corners where you can do floor workouts. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area!!

  • 5/5 Mary C. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been a member since we moved here 12 years ago, my abilities have diminished over the years ( knee problems) but I am very impressed by all of the active, determined seniors and the classes for all levels of abilities.

  • 1/5 Alex E. 3 years ago on Google
    I don't know how many times I have to tell these people to cancel my membership before they stop billing me but I've about had it with them.

  • 5/5 Karen T. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend Fitness Evolution. If you need to walk the track or use the many machines or workout equipment you will find this is the place to go for your exercise needs. The hours, classes, many programs and super trainers have your well being in mind.

  • 5/5 Dennis D. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is 10x's better than the Monticello location. Also, open an hour earlier on the weekend (Sat & Sun) My only concerns are: I couldn't find a place to do ab exercises such as regular crunches and the dry sauna wasn't very hot.

  • 5/5 Jacqueline 4 years ago on Google
    great gym with amazing staff who are more friends than employees. always a friendly face to greet you and encourage your success. 😃

    Always friendly staff. Clean, well equipped Health Club. I felt very comfortable going there, I never felt intimidated about not looking good enough or being perfectly in shape.

  • 5/5 Nic S. 6 years ago on Google
    Great gym with a great staff!! Sauna, pool, weights, and track are all excellent. They are always getting new equipment and replacing any ripped seats. Staff are friendly and helpful. I've been to many gyms and there is nothing to complain about here.

    I love this gym. Friendly faces, helpful staff and approachable people working out.

  • 4/5 Yassiry G. 5 years ago on Google
    It’s a nice gym I like the atomosphere. Mostly everyone seems nice. I’m new to the gym but one trainer doesn’t need to be giving people judgemental looks. We’re all their to get fit regardless of where you’re at in your progress

  • 5/5 Nick T. 5 years ago on Google
    Great gym. awesome staff, always friendly and helpful. It's well taken care of and kept clean.

  • 5/5 Amber H. 5 years ago on Google
    Always greeted with a smile. You get a lot of gym for an affordable price. Yes it gets pretty packed at times, but what gym doesn't? I think that goes to show they're doing things right.

  • 5/5 Tracy A. 6 years ago on Google
    Have been a member since 2004. There have been some ups and downs through the years but I have noticed a great improvement in the last year or so. Everything is cleaner, equipment is repaired in a timely manner and the staff is great. It would be great to have another recumbent elliptical machine and maybe a couple more recumbent bikes. It's always a hit or miss if I can get on one. My one and only complaint.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 6 years ago on Google
    Been a member at this gym since 2000. There's a reason why I'm still a member at this gym, great facility in excellent customer service with the trainers and employees 💪
