I recently joined a workout gym and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with my experience so far. The staff at this gym is absolutely fantastic. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported in my fitness journey.One of the things that stood out to me the most is how clean the gym is. It is evident that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. The equipment is regularly sanitized, and the floors are spotless. This not only creates a pleasant atmosphere to work out in but also ensures the safety and well-being of all members. I also like that there are no mirrorsWhat sets this gym apart from others is their commitment to providing a new workout program every five weeks. This is a game-changer for me as it keeps my workouts fresh and exciting. I no longer find myself getting bored or hitting a plateau in my fitness routine. The variety in exercises and training methods keeps me motivated and challenged, pushing me to reach new heights in my fitness goals.The workout programs are well-designed. The trainers are always available to guide and assist, ensuring that you are performing the exercises correctly and maximizing your results.Overall, I highly recommend this workout gym. The staff is exceptional, the facility is clean, and the new workout program every five weeks is a game-changer. If you are looking for a gym that truly cares about your fitness journey and provides the necessary tools for success, look no further.

I joined this gym many years ago and it is by far, one of my best decisions. Evan has worked with me to keep me strong and limber as I grow older, which allows me to keep up with my grandchildren. Evan has also helped me recover from different times I've been hurt in order to keep healing but stay limber and strong. He can quickly and effectively modify workouts to help you as you ease back into a full body workout. He has done all of this while being a virtual member - he stays in touch with you and will do virtual calls to watch form and offer suggestions to help keep you safe. If you are looking for a healthy safe and super environment, this is your place!

I joined Elevate in May of 2021, post-partum and in the midst of a Covid slump. Through the Elite membership I have become stronger than I have been in years (I mean in many many years, was college really that long ago?!) and started to feel like I was part of a community. I can’t say enough good things about Elevate and the owner Evan. Elevate feels like more than just a gym, it’s a welcoming place where you want to go get your sweat on, achieve your goals, have a good laugh, and of course build some useful strength. 10/10 recommend.

I’ve been a proud member for many years and made it through lockdown with the most amazing virtual program created to keep members moving. Evan and his dedicated coaches are the best of the best. This is not your average gym. Evan is meticulous in his programming. He will meet you at your level and help you achieve your goals. This is a place for all ages, and levels of fitness. If you’re looking for a gym home, look no further!

Elevate is the BEST gym I have ever belonged to! The people are like family and it is not your typical gym. Evan is the best coach. If you are in the elite program, he writes a program specifically for you. I have gained so much strength in the past years and I feel great. His team programs are amazing as well. If you are looking for a gym that provides great training, lots of great people, an environment where everyone encourages each other to be better, then look no further. Elevate is the place for you. Gail trains us on Monday’s and she is an incredible coach too! Both Evan and Gail I consider friends too! The best of both worlds.

Amazing community that just happens to also be this awesome gym. The coaches are fantastic and meet each individual where they are and coach them toward thier goals. The focus is on each person's strengths both inner and physical, driving the person toward thier personal best. I never thought I'd like kettlebells, but here I am 3.5 yrs later, and I cannot imagine going back to my elliptical routine. Elevate keeps it fresh, fun, and challenging. Thank you!

I should've posted this review sooner, but here we are. The fitness world can be rough, especially when trying to find the right training environment. I can say, without a doubt, that elevate has the best training community I've ever seen. Not only that, but you are guaranteed to learn something here regardless of your skill/experience. There is a clear focus on proper technique, making progress, and hitting your goals. Whether you're a novice or an experienced lifter I highly recommend Elevate. Evan is by far the best trainer I've had in my life and I've worked under some professional lifters. Do yourself a massive favor and give Elevate a try, you won't regret it.

There are so many place I could begin, but I've been a member at elevate for just over a year and my life has change dramatically physically and emotionally. I was 45 and facing a knee replacement, I couldn't get out of a chair without help, my shoulders, wrists and hip were always in pain from pushing myself up because I couldn't use my one knee. I started working with Evan who said he was up to the task to get me feeling and moving better. One year later I have lost almost 40lbs and as strong as I have ever been in my life, and I am no longer in constant pain. Evan and the folks at Elevate have coached, mentored and supported my efforts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning and have made my life exponentially better.

I have been working out at Elevate for almost 1.5 years, and it has changed my life. I first joined to improve my sense of community in a new city, and to work on my emotional and physical wellbeing. I have exceeded both of those initial goals. I started cold as a person with no strength training experience whatsoever, and the team at Elevate took time to help me gain confidence and skill in core training movements. The members at the gym are a very special group of people, and the friendliness and positivity you encounter as soon as you walk in the door lifts you up. There is a level of training at Elevate for everyone's fitness goals. It is a personalized, approachable program filled with fun and sweat, as well as a unique, amazing family. Come join us!!

I joined Elevate March of 2019, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Evan is a patient, dedicated, and thoughtful coach, working with everyone closely to achieve their goals. By completing an initial screening, Evan and his team are able to create and coach you specific to your needs, and encourages and challenges you to do it the right way, celebrating all of the wins you WILL have along the way!! The training class sizes are perfect, well thought out, and really challenge you and help you get better! From the moment you arrive, you feel supported and welcomed, with everyone truly being happy to see you succeed! It truly is a another family for me and I have seen gains and improvements that would not have been possible without the support of Evan, Gail, Mary and ALL of the ELEVATE family!!

Hands down this the best place in Central Mass. to work on improving strength and performance with safe and progressive programming. You’ll join a supportive, friendly community, and not just physically train but learn how to listen to your body. If you want to improve your ability to do the things you love; playing with children/grandchildren, being a weekend warrior or be a better moving human in general check out Elevate! You won’t be disappointed – I wasn’t!

When I came to Elevate I was 60 and broken, physically and emotionally. I was in poor shape and couldn't walk up stairs without assistance.I was miserable. It was recommended by a good friend who told me this place was like no other.They would meet me where I was at and tailor a program especially for me. I was so excited with the early results I convinced my wife to sign up.She now has a strong core of women friends that genuinely care for each other inside and outside the gym. Elevate has given me my life back. Evan's knowledge, programs,patience, and encouragement has restored my health in a way that just a year ago I didn't think was possible.For the 1st time in a over a decade I can live an active lifestyle. I invested in ME, going 3 times a week for over a year and see no end in sight. I love going. I keep getting stronger and more mobile. One of the highlights of my new life is meeting my married son twice a week for 3 mile sunrise walks. you cant put a price on that. Its truly a nice group of people who support each other in so many ways, none more evident during the Covid crisis where everybody is continuing our commitment to fitness via zoom. There are no words to adequately portray what this place means to me. Its the best decision I have ever made and i will never settle for less again

I started going to Elevate in October of 2019. I was looking for a new gym with a method and atmosphere I liked, and this has been it! There's a focus on correct form and a process to the workouts which I really like. There is an actual method to strengthening yourself, and without injury. The atmosphere there is very positive and everyone is encouraging. I never enjoyed going to gyms before, I had to force myself to go. Elevate, I actually like going to and look forward to the workouts there! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym that offers great workouts with purpose!

I joined Elevate Strength & Performance in January 2017 -- one of the best decisions I've ever made! Before I began to train, Evan performed a functional movement screen that identified a pre-existing shoulder mobility issue. Knowing that led him to tailor the training program for my shoulder issue, and he helped correct it. With training sessions no larger than 12 people, Evan and his team are able to watch and correct form, as needed. The facility is very well-equipped and absolutely spotless, and the gym community is friendly and supportive. ESP truly lives up to its Core Values every day.
