This place is amazing! I used to train with Sophie and I go bi weekly for massages with Dave! Check him out, he’s an incredible massage therapist who has worked with the 49’ers and other incredible athletes. He’s a sports medicine pro!

I love this gym and trainers. It's small and everything is customized to you goals/needs. Ashley is owner and she opens up the gym for day-after-Thanksgiving group work out which is really fun for families. Highly recommended.

I don't work out here. Never got the chance to, although I really wanted to. And loved the place. After I sent an email enquiry I received an email from one of the coaches offering me a phone call or a tour of the facility and I took the time out to go take a tour. And what did my tour look like? I was made to look at the gym standing at the reception near the lovely couches at the entrance. It looked great and exactly the kind of place I was looking for. 2 stars for that. But their customer service and processes seem very inefficient. I don't know if giving them a budget was a mistake as I was instantly paired with a trainer, without even knowing anything about me. And when I went back and looked up this trainer, she had less than a year's experience. I don't know if that's worth $100 a session. I had also read up about this coach that I was meeting who had some 20+ years of experience and when I asked him his rates and it sounded reasonable, I mentioned I could consider working out with him. He said fine, but was way too laid back and acted like whether or not I worked out with him, it didn't matter. He didn't want to know anything about me, and I had to ask assuming I'd like to work out with you, would you like to know anything about me? And he said, No. He didn't want to know anything about my goals or injuries or fitness background? I was going to spend $500+ a month to workout with him and he didn't even have a minute to get to know me better? I waited before I wrote this review to see if they had any follow-up process, because I was still hoping to find a trainer here. But none! Sorry you just lost $780 (personal training + small group training) worth of business from me.

I was in town on business and reached out for a training session. Sean Arnold was able to accommodate a late afternoon session. He was fantastic and very knowledgeable. I have a very tight right hip flexor and he spent a lot of time warming up and stretching before we started the workout and even spent time stretching after. It was a great workout—intense but fantastic. I will definitely be visiting again when I’m back in the area.

Great resource! High quality trainers took a "strong first" kettlebell training there had a great experience

This is a great training facility. I see a trainer 1:1 as well as do the group workouts 3 days a week. The facility is clean, the women’s bathroom is stocked with hairdryers, brushes, Q-tips, and anything else one could think of. The staff is very friendly, from Carmen who greets you as you walk in to the owner herself, Ashley. This is a gym where you cannot cheat! They watch your form and challenge you to up your weights to gain muscle. I highly recommend this gym! You will not be disappointed! You do need to make an appointment to visit and see the facility and find a trainer for you. This is not a drop-in facility, like a previous reviewer thought it was.

I have done group training at Evolution for over 10 years. The workouts provide the perfect balance of cardio and strength training. Ashley tailors the classes to accommodate individual needs. Ashley's passion for fitness, innovative approach and the camaraderie of the group classes have given me the motivation to keep going. I have worked with many of the trainers at Evolution who are all professional, knowledgeable and dedicated to the well being of their clients. Evolution has great facilities and a friendly staff. I highly recommend Evolution!

I have been working out/training with Ashley Selman at Evolution Trainers since the facility opened in its original location in 2006. I was recommended to use Ashley due to the injuries to my body from "just being a kid, playing high school junior varsity softball." I also had severe neck issues from a roller coaster accident, where I repeatedly fell on my shoulders on a loop-de-loop roller coaster. And then there was the auto accident when I was 10. She correctly diagnosed all my muscle imbalances and worked with me in personal training sessions as well as group workouts to coach me to stop using my overly strong trapezius muscles for all lifting and strengthened my rhomboids, lats, teres, quads, hamstrings. Not to mention my gluteus! By working with her, and seeing a chiropractor that works onsite at her gym, I'd like to think and believe I am now 5'9" tall! The gym is well stocked with towels, healthy bars to eat, electrolyte replenishing drinks, and almonds. The ladies locker room has a blow dryer, brushes, deodorant, mouthwash, Q-tips, tampons, and pads. There is body lotion, body wash, conditioner, and shampoo to use. No need to bring a lock as the lockers have digital locks. They even have sweatshirts and t-shirts emblazoned with their logo to purchase, as well as some workout products like bands and TRX's. All the trainers are extremely friendly. The gym equipment is constantly upgraded and well maintained. When I do a tricep extension, I know I am pulling 20lbs instead of the 80+ lbs I use at 24 Hours to get the same feeling in the extension. Yeah, it would be fun to boast my triceps can do 80+lbs, but I'd rather have the correct weight than an imaginary weight. There is no way to cheat on your workout at Evolution Trainers! A recent review (maybe a year old?) mentioned tight parking, so I'd like to say that the parking lot was resealed and restriped, so there is now ample room to get in and out of your car without dinging the car door next to you. There is a masseuse on-site as well. I hope this review motivates you to look into Evolution Trainers for getting yourself back into shape. I'm very happy I found this gym and finally got my neck to no longer pinch when I would mop the floor.
