Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and friendly people!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful classes at this gym, spacious areas. Locker and shower facilities always kept very clean.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Evolve Elmsdale when I signed up for Evolve's 6 week for $1 challenge. I was nervous at first about whether or not I would be able to keep up, but I am glad that I followed through. The instructors, Sam and Owen, were so amazing. They were more than welcoming and created a great environment to be a part of a class. They explained all of the exercises thoroughly and provided help throughout the class. They are also very personable and made me look forward to attending classes there. I would easily recommend Evolve to anyone looking to continue their fitness journey, try something new, or even to those who are starting new like I was. You can see your progress each week and celebrate your wins!

Fantastic experience: Good classes, lots of time slots daily & great instructors!

Fantastic experience: Classes were great and as challenging as a person wanted them to be. Instructors are great and willing to help and show proper form.

Fantastic experience: Evolve Fitness Elmsdale has the best bootcamps! The trainers are fantastic and very knowledgeable. Members are welcoming and foster a very supportive and welcoming environment. Come see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I love this location! Easy to get to with lots of parking and a beautiful space. The bootcamps I've been to we're great and I really like all the trainers. Sam is especially welcoming and encouraging. He remembers everyone's names right away and he got me to pick up heavier weights in my first class which I realized I was totally strong enough to do. I wouldn't have pushed myself if I was on my own. I only have good things to say about Evolve!

Fantastic experience: Fun and inclusive environment! We have a blast at country cardio and I look forward to my gym time. Trainers are easy going and motivating. Good people!

Fantastic experience: I joined the 6-week challenge for $1 in May and I really enjoyed it! The trainers are great, the people are welcoming, it’s a very supportive and inclusive environment. I highly recommend. :)

Fantastic experience: Great instructors who challenge you each class. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: This gym by far has the best energy, coaches and classes! So glad I joined!

Fantastic experience: Evolve fitness is one of the best gyms I’ve ever been a member of! We all support and encourage one another daily. Sam (trainer Elmsdale) is amazing and pushes me to be stronger. I look forward to the class and seeing everyone! Doesn’t get better than that!

Fantastic experience: I joined the six (6) week challenge as I was tired of being sick and tired. I had failed to make my health a priority over the past couple of years, and it was taking a toll on both my physical and mental well being. I remember my first class- Oct. 29th, doing a push up and thinking “how the hell did I let this happen”. I said to myself, “this will be the hardest day” and made a promise to keep going no matter what. Thirty (30) classes later and here I am! Committed to keep going! The Evolve community is the most supportive and inclusive fitness group I’ve ever experienced, and trust me I’ve been a member of a few! Sam, Owen and Melinda -are top notched! They are encouraging and always supportive. I highly recommend checking out Evolve Fitness -no regrets!

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my time at Evolve. The classes are fantastic and the trainers take the time to ensure you are performing the exercises correctly

Fantastic experience: I'm a step away from finishing up my 6 week Boot Camp program in Elmsdale and I'm so thankful for this first time fitness club experience in my life. Being in a professional downhill skiing in my past and doing lots of home setting fitness activities, this program was the best addition to my routine. I have received so much insight understanding how to exercises correctly for my body benefits in terms of toning up my body and muscles growing! Sam is an excellent trainer who cares about your personal needs and abilities. My routine was modified by Sam after I had my knee sprained, and I was able to participate and finished my 6week program successfully! I do recommend to everyone to give a try at Evolve Fitness club, it's the best that you can do for yourself. And the community of the same minded people is Superb!! Thanks so much)))

Fantastic experience: Was nervous about starting but I'm absolutely hooked! It is such a supportive community of people and the instructors are encouraging and informative. The endorphins are flowing after these classes - Give it a try you won’t be disappointed !

Fantastic experience: Evolve offers a great program, the people are very welcoming and supportive. The workouts are challenging but they will accommodate your fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Evolve has helped me get back in the game, give me the confidence to get back to bootcamp and to get back to loving me again.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so welcoming. The instructors are so supportive and it the most encouragement I’ve ever had. I really feel like I mattered. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Been going to Boot Camp for nearly a month, well run classes, suttle differences with different trainers, exercises challenging but not crazy. I am 71 years old, retired military.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! The staff is consistently friendly and supportive, guiding you towards achieving your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: The best boot camp experience yet, and I have tried a few... inclusive, accepting, non judgemental environment with great coaching and a superb group of members

Fantastic experience: I joined the 6-week challenge for $1 this past March and I loved it. Every class I am learning a new exercise I did not even know existed. The trainers are great, the people are welcoming. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: It was awesome . Everyone was very helpful and patient with me.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, great classes and a real community feel.

Fantastic experience: Friendly knowledgeable staff, terrific workout times, and a great all round atmosphere. Got to hang out in Halifax and Elmsdale, and both spots were terrific.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place with amazing trainers. I enjoyed the group classes. I like how I feel after 6 weeks, my body changed and this is a great experience. I will continue.

Fantastic experience: A great community of professionals with modern science based group fitness workouts. I felt great after every Bootcamp. They are truly designed to increase full body fitness without causing any damage or injury. There is nothing else like them around this area. Strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: All of the staff (and the other members) are so encouraging and supportive! Great workouts!

Fantastic experience: This gym is so welcoming the trainers are amazing . It’s not intimidating at all and it’s for all ages

Fantastic experience: When I first joined I won't lie I was a bit nervous and tried to talk my self out of going to a gym with other people wasn't my thing .I didn't, I went and I have met so many amazing other people just like me .I thought I'd just sign up for the 6 week challenge to see how it goes, well let me tell you this place is amazing and has amazing instructors .I plan to continue with this fitness journey for my health and fitness .So if you want good health give Evolve Fitness (Elmsdale ).a try .I love all these workouts .Thank you for sterring me into a healthy routine .Stronger everyday .Quote by Owen if your not sweating your not working hard enough .So go and sweat you will love ❤️ it .

Fantastic experience: I sighed up for the 6 week program and it’s been a great experience! My plan is to continue and sign up to join which I had not planned to do when I “tried” the gym lol.

Fantastic experience: Great experience going to the boot camps! They were just the right amount of challenging! The gym has a positive and welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to get up and go!

Fantastic experience: Evolve Fitness Elmsdale is very welcoming! It is a place for everyone - the workouts are structured to meet your needs with options on how to make things more challenging when you need it. I started in 2023 and it was just what I was looking for.

Fantastic experience: Small classes, diversity of bootcamps, classes at 12:15 all weekdays and classes in the morning on the weekend = great advantage! Having an open gym is a plus too, since you can use it before and/or after bootcamps, whether you're here to warm up or do some cardio!

Fantastic experience: It's so wild to me that saying yes to one challenge on a Facebook ad could have this much of an impact on my life! My only gym experience was to show up and walk/run on a treadmill... working with weights in Sams early morning bootcamps have been an absolute game changer! Stronger every day! Encouragements and fist bumps from strangers-turned-gym pals have been so inspiring. I really had no idea it could be like this!! Matt & Evolve team, you've really got something special here!! And I'm so glad to be here!!!

Fantastic experience: I tried the 6 weeks for $1 challenge and had an amazing time! The mandatory 18 classes pushes you to attend a variety of classes and meet so many amazing people! I stuck with doing the boot camps because I really enjoyed the instructor and the mix of different exercises!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried different gyms over the years. What I like about Evolve is that it’s challenging without being sore for days after! The coaches are very helpful and approachable and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. It really feels like a place for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Evolve has completely transformed my approach to fitness, initially I was really worried about joining in a group setting as I worked out at my home gym for the past 20 years . I find it is a very welcoming atmosphere, with effective workouts and great trainers, who are always helpful and pushing me to get the best out of my time . I love that I just show up and they have my workout planned and it’s complete in 45 mins. I go home with more energy then when I left and can already see the difference in my strength in four weeks. Having the gym and cardio equipment is a great bonus when you have the extra energy or just like to change it up. Very impressed and planning to stay on and continue my training.

Fantastic experience: I joined the November 6 week fitness challenge feeling completely nervous and thought I was going to be out of my league. From the first time I walked through the doors meeting other members and trainers I felt immediately comfortable and at ease! Every Bootcamp/Cardio class the trainers would give a demonstration of the work out, and are very helpful at suggesting modification's if needed. Members range from beginners to experienced encouraging each other and always making you feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: Evolve Fitness in Elmsdale is amazing. The boot camps work you hard but are fun at the same time. All the instructors are great and make you feel so welcomed. I am so glad I joined!

Fantastic experience: I will be honest, was nervous going to a gym. I didn’t want to be stared at or judged. But Evolve Elmsdale is exactly the opposite of that! The staff are amazing and so knowledgeable. They will help you adjust exercises to what you are capable to do. Everyone is at their own pace. The age gap is from young school age to their grandparents. The classes are challenging but still fun, people will laugh with each other and joke, but provide the support to finish when needed too

Fantastic experience: Evolve Elmsdale has been a great experience. I have never been part of a gym before actually didn’t think I’d like it. The trainers are all so involved and take the time to insure you are getting the most out of each class!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great gym. The trainers are super helpful in making sure you’re doing everything right and helping you actually achieve what you’re trying to do! I’ve never said “ ugh. Have to go to the gym today “ I’ve always been excited to go. Owen is absolutely wicked if you get a chance to be in one of his classes !

Fantastic experience: After being out of the gym circuit for ten plus years, I can across Evolves 6 week challenge. Without much thought I clicked join. Fast forward ahead until the day of my first class, I was so scared I thought I was going to be sick. After being in there for 10 minutes newbies like myself and veteran gym goers made me feel like I was going there for years. The instructors are top notch. I've worked with every one, except one and they all made me feel completely comfortable in asking questions, and supporting and adapting exercises for me if I couldn't quite get it. I didn't step on the scale since I joined because I know I've hit many more targets I sent for myself than simply losing weight. My clothes are fitting better and my mind is clearer. I look forward to going to bootcamps and feel very accomplished for how far I have come. This is due to my actions but has a large portion to do with the sense of community that Evolve Elmsdale has created :)

Fantastic experience: The 6 week challenge was a great chance for me to get back into the gym. The boot camp classes at Evolve Fitness were the perfect fit as workouts include variations to suit any fitness level, great music, and a knowledgeable trainer that ensures proper form is used. The staff and members made me feel very welcome. I highly recommend Evolve.

Fantastic experience: I have never been a group fitness lover and didn’t know what to expect when joining. I quickly learned that Evolve is welcoming to all body types and a ton of fun. It’s challenging but all the instructors are helpful and supportive. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would be a Bootcamp type of person but I absolutely love it! The classes are challenging, however can easily be modified to meet all fitness levels. The instructors are very motivating, members are friendly, everyone makes you feel welcomed . I only wish I had joined Evolve sooner.

Fantastic experience: Great small town/family feel but with the big city workout options and supports. Lots of room to move, great trainers and people who really care about your journey. More about the support and compassion than the almighty dollar. Feels like family and the workouts push you to see your true potential. The whole experience taught me so much about myself and overcoming limitations and what my mind and body are truly capable of. Evolve Elmsdale combined with even further support at the Integrated Health Center in Halifax gives you all the tools you need to be successful on your health and wellness journey. Mat, Alison,Owen and all the members and trainers Thank you for doing what you lov and sharing it with those of us who need the hand.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and group of trainers:) they really make you feel welcome, comfortable and like family! Super personable!! And the boot camps are amazing, you will definitely see results and definitely be energized and they really are there to support you through your journey. I highly recommend Evolve Fitness:)

Fantastic experience: Lots of times to chose from! Each class is different which is nice!

Fantastic experience: Small but mighty! A great place to burn calories and share some laughs.

Fantastic experience: During my 6 week program I attended Evolve Fitness Elmsdale a number of times. The coaches were great and the workouts hit just as hard as the bigger locations!

Fantastic experience: New gym location can feel intimidating. First time going at Evolve Elmsdale I felt welcomed. Great workouts and motivated coaches!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best atmosphere I have ever felt at a gym. The staff and members are amazing and are always willing to help out anyway they can. Classes are challenging, variable to suit your personal abilities, and fun! Will definitely recommend Evolve Fitness Elmsdale to anyone looking for a welcoming place to work towards their fitness goals with a dedicated team!

Fantastic experience: Evolve Elmsdale is a community of amazing people and trainers. Team spirit, encouragement, recipes and more. People supporting each other on their fitness journey. Come and join you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Joining Evolve Elmsdale was my best decision thus far for 2023. I look forward to going to the gym and enjoy my morning classes. Sam and the 6:15AM crew are so welcoming and supportive of everyone.

Fantastic experience: As a beginner, never having been to a gym in my life; I joined a 6 week challenge with Evolve Fitness Elmsdale and so far it’s been an amazing experience!

Fantastic experience: I am so thrilled Evolve is growing and has multiple locations. I was able to visit the Evolve Elmsdale location and was more than thrilled about how welcoming and knowledgeable Sam was. I’m excited to have options, and access to well trained staff in a variety of location wherever my job takes me in the city ! Thank you Evolve for spread the love around the city and making quality weight training more accessible!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming gym! Classes are different every day. Sam gives clear demos of all exercises, and is very encouraging throughout. 6:15am classes are busy, so best to book ahead for the week!

Fantastic experience: UPDATE: Progress, consistency, and amazing support and music. Since joining a few months ago, the Elmsdale team and members have become a chosen family. Transformative growth and change is an intensive and challenging process - it’s messy and hard. Evolve (which for for me includes LOVE continues to be undoubtedly the best atmosphere for working out I’ve ever been in! Having done my share of gyms, at home fitness and outdoors fitness, the team at Elmsdale - members and staff - made this experience unforgettable! My progress, strength, confidence, and commitment have levelled up and I’m excited to continue with Evolve to achieve every future opportunity! Thank you still doesn’t quite seem adequate…but thank you! Hope to see you soon!!

Fantastic experience: I love the atmosphere and support in the in-person classes at Evolve Elmsdale. I started out highly nervous as I had let my fitness slide a lot in the past few years,always thought I hated group fitnrss classes (I was SO wrong on that, these classes are FUN and effective at improving your abilities) and the format of the boot camps and cardio classes is perfect for getting back into shape. The coaches were fantastic at explaining the routines, demonstrating each station, including modifications to suit your present level, and helping correct my posture when needed. Over the past 6 weeks, they've all encouraged me to do my best, then pushing that little bit extra as my personal fitness improved over the 6 week challenge I participated in. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Evolve is amazing!! It really is more than just a gym, it's a supportive and positive community. The workouts are designed for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. I honestly feel like I get more out of a 45-minute bootcamp than I did spending hours at a regular gym lifting. Not to mention the trainers are the best and are there to help push you to reach your fitness goals, nutrition suggestions and more!

Fantastic experience: Evolve Elmsdale is a great place to go no matter where you are in your fitness journey! The bootcamp classes are designed to be both accessible and challenging, with lots of modifications offered. They are all full body classes, so no need to keep track of what you should be working next! The space is extremely clean, the staff are so friendly, and there is lots of different equipment to use! I can’t wait to see how this location expands and begins to include a variety of classes.

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes, instructors and members! I am very glad to have joined this gym. Classes have lots of variety and always challenging! Would easily recommend EVOLVE to beginners and experienced people!

Fantastic experience: Joining Evolve has benefitted my life in so many ways. I couldn’t imagine a more supportive and positive exercise environment. I definitely would not feel as motivated if it wasn’t for the encouraging staff - I didn’t expect to laugh so much during a bootcamp, but they create such a wonderful atmosphere that joking around with the trainers and other clients just feels natural. I would highly recommend Evolve to anyone hoping to get a little more physical activity into their life.

Fantastic experience: One of the most welcoming and encouraging places to work out. I was not one for classes before but I'm hooked. I recently had reached my 100th class. Never have I stuck to a gym this much. Sam is great! Always takes the time to ask how you are doing and gives help when you need it. I recommend this place for all ages and abilities!!

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about Evolve Elmsdale! Starting out I was nervous and very out of shape but the trainers are all so great at pushing you when they know you have it in you and supporting you with modifications when needed. The energy they have is contagious and I always leave smiling. Great group of gym goers as well who are quick to make you feel like you’ve been a part of the team all along. If you are on the fence about trying, DO IT! It may not be physically easy, but the atmosphere at Evolve will make it so that instead of counting how many minutes are left, you’re laughing and pushing yourself and others!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful and welcoming atmosphere. The current members are really welcoming when you're new to the program. Sam's boot camp classes are awesome. Would totally rate Elmsdale Evolve higher than 5 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: I started with Evolve Halifax last spring and was amazed by the support from the owners, the trainers, and the community that is involved with attending the classes. When they opened a location in Elmsdale, I was thrilled to cut out the 40 minute drive! The trainers and support at the Elmsdale location are phenomenal, thanks for all you do!
