STAXX Strength Studios

Fantastic experience: All the girls at STAXX are gems!!! What a gift to have trainers and equipment of this calibre in the Okanagan ! I struggled with going “to the gym” but the culture here is the opposite and I feel incredible after a workout. They always want to know how your body is THAT day and motivate you to do more than you imagined. Thank you for helping me change my body, and my sense of strength and power.

Fantastic experience: My STAXX workout is a weekly highlight. Haley is skilled in motivating, challenging and celebrating my health and fitness. It is awesome to know that my form is correct and to see growth in my strength as the weights increase. I am so thankful for Haley's expertise and support in achieving my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Once Haley Dojohn at STAXX started to train me i saw more progress in the intense 20 minute sessions than i have seen in 4 decades of self-directed weight pushing. If you are in your 40’s 50’s or 60’s - this is where you need to put your fitness focus. Technique is everything. I use what they teach in my other fitness routines now. (Strength IS medicine. )

Fantastic experience: I have strength trained most of my life, but now in my 50s, my schedule requires very efficient and timely training; Staxx’ 20 mins is ideal! I found the team at Staxx to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly motivational! Will be life long member

Fantastic experience: I've been working out here for about two months now and I can't say enough good things about my experience. Just a few minutes out of my day and I get a full body workout that truly pushes me to my limits. The girls are pros. They go above and beyond to ensure that you're comfortable at all times, and they work with and around any limitations you might have. And most importantly I've seen steady measurable improvements in my strength and health week by week.

Fantastic experience: "I don't have the time" is impossible to say with Staxx Strength Studios being available. This is an excellent service for anyone looking for a way to build muscle and improve overall fitness and health who believe they don't have the time or don't know how to do it properly. It is especially important for women nearing menopause or beyond it to preserve muscle mass and prevent osteoporosis! Simply stated, it is a guided, 1 on 1 very brief but intense workout that works. No special fitness gear or shoes needed, just show up and do the work for 15 to 20 minutes. Boom, done. I have added it on top of my regular exercise routine and noted improvements in posture and core strength very rapidly. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The team at STAXX are great, they are excellent coaches, provide helpful cues, and keep a close eye on your form. This is the one workout I have been able to stick to because I can actually fit it into my day; I've been going for a few months now and am getting stronger, which is awesome. The workouts are short but tough, they push you when you want to stop but it's always safe and controlled and you feel great afterwards. Definitely worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: Such a great experience! Definitely worth trying out :)

Fantastic experience: I doubted that a 15 minute workout would actually impact me in any way. It doesn't sound like enough - especially being used to a good solid 1 hour sweat session everywhere else and believing that was the only way to exercise. Man, was I surprised. I walk out wobbly every time and truly feel the muscle fatigue without the whole body exhaustion. I really liked that component - to still have energy but my muscles feel they got a workout. Haley is such a cheerleader, thoroughly explains the process, and really, who doesn't have 20 minutes a week to devote to a GOOD fully body workout? I love it - and highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Haley was very knowledgeable and professional !

Fantastic experience: Staxx is amazing! Clara and Becky have shown me an absolute game changer to working out as I always did the same regular workouts with 3 sets and 8-12 reps. Performing and pushing you beyond your limits with short workouts is critical to increasing bone density, building, retaining, muscle, slowing the aging process and living a long healthy life. In the past couple months I have dropped inches all over and increased muscle mass by 9 Lbs. I feel fantastic!

Fantastic experience: I worked out at Staxx and with Clara and her team.. I cannot stress the improvements i saw in my body.. it truly works..my muscles were more defined and I felt stronger.. If you are looking for strength training coaching look no further! i stopped for a while and went back just to get the results!

Fantastic experience: Clara is amazing and she really knows her stuff. The workouts are hard and I really noticed my increased strength and an improvement in my posture.

Fantastic experience: Staxx Strength Studios is a game-changer! Clara is not only knowledgeable but also makes each session enjoyable and engaging. The atmosphere is positive and inclusive, making it easy to stay motivated and push myself! Five stars all the way!

Fantastic experience: Dealing with some medical challenges has made me realize how important weight bearing exercises are to incorporate into my fitness regime. Working with the Staxx team has helped to improve my bone density as well as help me feel toned and stronger.

Fantastic experience: I am completely smitten with the staff at STAXX from the first day I started lifting heavy weights. My muscular strength has allowed me to enjoy all the activities I love doing. Without the weight training, I could not still be running, jumping, skiing, and doing a myriad of other activities. Love you guys and thanks for all that you do! Oh and Happy Valentines Day!

Fantastic experience: What a great place. Just love the trainers and my body feels fantastic with these workouts. Honestly, I was very sceptical as to what a 15min workout can do...might I say the proof is in the results. Love these, and hooked for life.

Fantastic experience: I am about three months in to my training with Staxx. I am loving it and I am amazed at what I have been able to accomplish in a short time! My daily life has already improved due to the increase in strength and I am excited to keep going!

Fantastic experience: STAXX is a welcoming studio that provides outstanding service for those of us who want a short and effective workout that also accommodates any injuries. Clara is an excellent trainer! She pays close attention to detail when you are doing your workout, and provides great cueing, reinforcement, and encouragement. I have recently worked with Becca, who also provides great care and attention. My workouts are very personalized to accommodate my fitness needs. I have made great gains over the year in strength, flexibility, and confidence and look forward to my workouts every week.

Fantastic experience: Personalized training to achieving your best self. Clara and her team are extremely knowledgeable about what works best for your body. I have never felt stronger, plus they take the time to really learn about you and your goals and execute them in a safe and private environment. Finally a professional coach that leaves me feeling empowered not sore!

Fantastic experience: Since I had my little one 2 years ago, STAXX Strength Studios has had such a positive impact on my life. Who knew that 15-minutes once per week, would ultimately transform my body and mind into a beacon of strength, for not only myself, but for my family (who have also joined me for sessions; my little one watches, while Clara pushes my husband and I to our physical limits, in a powerful, yet safe and supported way). These workouts are short, easy to fit into a busy schedule, and effective. Thanks Clara for making our family strong!.

Fantastic experience: As an older individual, I need to build strength for confidence and balance. There are so many important health benefits for clients such as reducing the occurrence of strokes and dementia. Definitely, a huge part of my health routine. Initially, I gave the program 6 months and the results are so impressive that I am starting my 3rd year. The best part, the trainers are great. They are highly trained and totally invested in ensuring my success. I highly recommend Carla and her team.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Clara for a year now and I love it! Short weekly sessions and the one on one coaching are the best! And I’m so happy with my results!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Clara is simply the best trainor. I've been working with her as my trainer for years. Know that when you are at this Strength Studio... you are in excellent hands of genuine people who actually care.

Fantastic experience: STAXX Strength Studios is an absolute game-changer! Clara's wealth of knowledge, coupled with her genuine passion for helping her clients achieve their goals, is truly inspiring. She tailored my workouts with precision, considering my strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. Her encouragement and support has been invaluable on my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Staxx through a family member. He knew that I needed something low impact because I had , had a shoulder replacement , 2 major shoulder repairs on the other , along with 3 knee surgeries. After retirement I found it easy to stop being so active due to pain . After an interview with Clara , she convinced me she could help . I’m 5 months in and the advancements have been amazing. The controlled movements involved with this workout has not brought on any additional pain and has been great for increasing muscle strength . Clara is a master at guiding you to get the most out of yourself in every workout. Going twice a week has become a highlight in my week , great way to start and finish it . Thank you Clara . Just had my first workout with Brendon , he did a very good job making sure I stuck to form . He will be a great asset to Clara and Staxx Strength Studios .

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Clara for 2 years and am so grateful for her support, energy, and positivity. She’s created exciting workouts that have accommodated old sports injuries and allowed me to improve my quality of life. I didn’t think such short and intense weight training sessions on machines that ensure my safety could get me such amazing results. I’ve you’ve been thinking about wanting to achieve health goals, and are not into going to a traditional gym, carve out 20 minutes a week and head to Staxx to get on track. Thank you Clara for all you’ve done!

Fantastic experience: Great intro session today!! Looking forward to returning next week!

Fantastic experience: This is one of my favourite parts of my weeks. 15 mins and a full body workout that leaves you exhausted but feeling amazing. My whole life I went to the gym and pushed around heavy weight 60-90 mins sessions. I just thought it was the best way to work out. I later read about “1 set to failure” type workouts and all the amazing benefits of it (minimize injury, shorter time working out, total muscle recruitment, etc) but realized this was hard to do on my own. That’s when I met Clara and STAXX. The workouts are great but even better than the workouts is Clara as a trainer. She knows how to prompt you and push you without over doing it. Just the right amount of support to help you do a perfect workout. I highly recommend STAXX for anyone looking to get in shape, substantially increase their strength, to improve their physique or just feel better overall. Once or twice a week is all you need. You owe it to yourself to do a free trial workout… let’s see what you’ve got!

Fantastic experience: Great workouts, great coaches. The sessions are quick which make it easy for me to fit them into my work day, but every exercise is maxed out, so you get a high intensity in a short time frame - noticing huge strength gains and minimal muscle soreness. There's no way I could push through these kinds of sets on my own! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I am in better shape at 50 than I was at 40, thanks to the team at STAXXX. I honestly thought I would be in pain for the rest of my life, but Clara proved me wrong. The 15 minute workouts are intense and empowering!

Fantastic experience: The girls here are amazing and encouraging! One of the things that has held me back from the gym is time. Kids, work, social life - it's a lot, amirite?! I don't have 90 min for the gym! With Evolved Strength, the workouts are short, manageable, but OH SO EFFECTIVE! A great challenge and a full body workout. And they work around my injuries! Oh yeah, and they are great with youth, too! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The team at Evolved Strength makes you feel confident, comfortable and energized - no matter what your starting fitness level is! They offer a private, clean exercise setting that is welcoming and fun to be in. Their trainers are knowledgeable, energetic and friendly - offering support throughout your workout and after. I would highly recommend Evolved strength to anyone looking for a place to workout and feel more confident!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Clara for several weeks now - i had no idea what it wa all about and am now seeing the changes in energy and strength - 15 min once a week - no excuses..if i can embrace it, anyone can - love the energy, motivation and changes!

Fantastic experience: BEST WORKOUT! Hit your goals and get stronger so much faster. Super motivating and amazing trainers!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout! It was quick but super effective. I felt like I used every muscle in my body. Clara made me feel really comfortable and I had fun too! I would highly recommend Evolved Strength Training. 5 STARS for sure!

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed the one on one coaching that I received from Clara. She pushed me to the limit and helped me get stronger and stronger with every session. I had back surgery and she helped me build my core and become fit with her precision eye of every move so as not to re-injure myself in the process. It was so valuable and got me back to being myself. I have moved away from the location or I'd still be going! Thanks Clara! Sharleen McBlain.

Fantastic experience: Been working with Clara in Kelowna for 2 years. She is the best. I have seen a large strength increase (muscle mass) while losing 4 inches off my waist and 30 lbs of weight loss. Works me hard emphasizing good technique with an abundance of encouragement.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Clara when she was working with Evolve and I was so happy when she bought the business and Staxx Strength Studios was born. Clara is a bright light!! She is full of energy and pushes you to work your hardest but in such an encouraging and positive manner. She is a wealth of knowledge. I tried the whole gym route but never got the results that I do with this. And it's just 20 minutes a week so it is easy for anyone to fit into a busy schedule. As i head into my 70's I feel confident that this training is going to allow me to continue to be active and able to participate in all the activities that I love. I believe strength training is absolutely imperative as we age. I leave the studio feeling energized and I can feel my muscles shaking and working for hours afterwards. So happy with Clara and Staxx!!

Fantastic experience: I won a package of workout sessions with Evolved and I am so THRILLED! So far I've had 2 sessions with Clara. What a tiger! She works me hard but it feels really great. I already feel like I'm more fit and stronger. I'm a youngish senior who is diabetic and I have mild emphysema. I've been working on those things for a while, and especially in the past 5 months and they've become much better managed. So the timing of adding my Evolved training to what I'm already doing is great. I'm looking forward to more awesome sessions with Evolved!

Fantastic experience: Clara is an awesome trainer. She is very committed to each persons personal goals and success. She is motivated and locked in on your workout. She’s the best!

Fantastic experience: Was trying to find place close to work that I could attend on my lunch break and a friend recommended Evolved. Workouts are quick but challenging. Clara is amazing!! Very encouraging and motivating, she pushes you when you want to give up in such a positive upbeat way that it makes you want to keep going.

Fantastic experience: Great personality and wonderful trainer I know she will help me achieve my goals

Fantastic experience: Was trained by Clara and she is a PRO! She has excellent energy and a high vibe to push you through the exercises. Amazing communication skills come into play too with the way she corrects your form and tells you which muscle groups to focus and pay attention to. I highly recommend their work out plan. Is only 15 minutes and you really start to feel results in the first month. Clara's energy will make you want to sick with it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve only had 5 sessions so far and I am already hooked. Feeling muscles I didn’t know I had, and feeling stronger. 15 minutes a week! You can’t beat that. Clara is amazing and fun. She pushes you to your full potential in a good way, I’m so grateful she is my trainer. I look forward to my workouts each week and I’m extremely excited to start seeing some big results.

Fantastic experience: Clara is the bomb! Even though my workouts are tough (she pushes me when I want to give up!) I can't get enough! The focus on working out properly and maximising my time - it's been just what I've needed. I have a bunch of old injuries from a car accident, and not only am I MUCH stronger now, I have LESS pain. Very thankfull for this one on one guidance and motivation, keeping me going!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place and Clara! I am such a newbie to Strength Training and she is helping me work through it!

Fantastic experience: I've been exercising all of my life, and I have never experienced a workout like Evolved. I was amazed that in 15 minutes, I felt muscles I never knew I had. Long workouts are obsolete when you experience Clara and Evolved. Evolved is truly the place where mind and muscles meet. I cannot recommend Clara and Evolved enough. Treat yourself to a great fitness experience... you will be amazed. #57.5yearsyoung

Fantastic experience: A shout out to all the old school bodybuilders who fondly remember the High Intensity training of Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates training regimes. This place is for you. Clara will take you through a full body workout in 20 minutes that will compare with any routine you've been through. Both fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers will be pushed to failure (in a safe an controlled manner). As a retired physician, body builder and strength coach, I found the session with Clara as good as any I've been through in the last decades. I would highly recommend trying it out.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had 5 sessions at Evolved with Clara and I LOVE it. I’ve been recommending the workouts to all of my family and friends because I am really happy with how time and cost efficient it is. Clara is always super welcoming, friendly and supportive throughout the workout, and seeing the progress I’ve made with her motivates me to be consistent with workouts for the first time in my life!

Fantastic experience: I started working out with Clara a bit over a month ago, AND I AM LOVING IT! With my schedule, it's very challenging to commit going to the gym a few times a week, so 15 min workouts once a week are so perfect. Moreover, I am seeing real results in my stats and in how much stronger I feel after each workout. Clara is amazing and I am looking forward to every workout ❤

Fantastic experience: LOVE this workout!! It uses my muscles in ways I don't think I ever have before and now my body craves my weekly workout! MUST TRY for all ages and fitness levels

Fantastic experience: I experienced an introductory workout yesterday and I have to say I was impressed. As a natural health care provider I am familiar with the scientific benefits of short, high intensity, slow weight training and i think they nailed it. The way Clara was engaged with every moment of the short workout, she was able to push me just right and make sure every move was perfect. I walked out feeling 5 inches taller and today i can feel that I had a safe and effective full body workout. I will be recommending evolved to my patients.

Fantastic experience: It's my first time to try this kind of workout and I loved it. Clara is a professional trainer, she explained how all the equipment works and coached me thought the entire workout process. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Low Impact, efficient and effective is how I would describe my workout at Evolved Strength training studio. Being instructed / coached by Clara through-out my entire workout kept me engaged and wanting to push harder to finish. Overall a great experience - I will be back!

Fantastic experience: Awesome training program with a knowledgeable and performance based trainer. Clara will push you to your limits and then ask for more. An efficient way to meet your goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been hitting this gym for a few weeks now and have to say wow! Fast workouts with a focus on posture. It took a few days to recover from my first workout and still feeling this mornings. It's a different workout for sure and I am happy with the results. Definitely feeling the core strength and posture benefits. Give it a go, you'll be surprised and happy you did.

Fantastic experience: Would HIGHLY recommend Evolved Strength to any and everyone. Clara, the manager and head trainer of the Kelowna studio was absolutely amazing ensuring that I reached MMF (momentary muscular failure) with each machine and muscle group. She knows exactly how hard to push and how to coach me through each exercise to ensure my form is always perfect and I maximize my results while lessening the likelihood of injury! Thank you Clara!

Fantastic experience: I had Clara as a trainer. She is so knowledgable and friendly. I was there for a total of 20 minutes- full body workout, strength training, low impact and easy on my joints. I would recommend 100%.
