I joined Evo back in May 2015 as a way of getting myself back to the gym. I had always gone to the gym on and off for at least 10 years previously, having been a member at least 2 or 3 other gyms and done all sorts of classes from Spin to Body Pump, Body Combat, Personal Training to yoga. I’d never really found my thing though. That changed when I started doing PT with Jake in the field behind my apartment, come rain or shine. He introduced me to boot-camp type exercising on a one-to-one basis and then I started going to Evo Camp in the Hall on Palatine road, along with small group PT sessions that we had out of a shed in Josh’s back garden. It was so much fun! Absolutely knackering, but I quickly realized Evo was more than just a gym as we would go on socials doing everything from the pub quiz to Jump Nation to wine tasting to Total Ninja. January 2016 brought a new string to the Evo bow with the introduction of EVO lift. I was absolutely hooked. Throughout 2016 I probably averaged about 5-7 sessions a week of lift and camp and have never been so fit before – I even got member of the year at the Xmas Party (still got the trophy haha). Fast forward to September 2017 and I moved from Chorlton to Withington, carefully choosing where I bought my house to ensure I could still go to Evo. (Yes, Evo is THAT good!) Since then I have been on countless Evo socials, every single summer and Xmas party, done two Rough Runners (including one in the middle of Storm Brian), been kayaking, bowling, (lots of) drinking and generally had a ball. My entire way of viewing the gym and exercising had totally changed and I stopped looking at it as punishment and thought of it as something to genuinely look forward to. My focus was on the numbers I was lifting not the numbers on the scale or the tape measure. I naturally got slimmer and more toned when going regularly but that wasn’t the goal. My goals constantly changed as I got stronger and when I look back on my 50kg deadlift target, glad I started somewhere, but ending on a PB of 145kg for two reps. I have never felt so proud of or comfortable in my own skin as knowing what my body is capable of thanks to Evo. I have made so many friends there as well and I know many couples that have met there and there’s even been an Evo marriage. Not many gyms can say that! December 2022 was my last month with Evo and the end of an era as I have had to move to North Manchester, so it’s not feasible to commute back to Didsbury sadly (hurry up and open one is Whitefield / Prestwich Josh!!) I thought I’d end with a few numbers to sum up my time at Evo over the years: Socials: approximately 30 Evo camps: around 520 Evo lifts: around 1100 Deadlift: 145kg Bench: 70kg Squat: 120kg Years at Evo: 7.5 Friends made: 90+ Weight lost: don’t know, don’t care

  • Lauren Burnett

I absolutely love this place. I joined Evo a couple of months ago because after growing bored of my regular gym classes (and admittedly falling off the wagon a little bit because of this!) I wanted a new challenge. The classes are absolutely amazing, they really push you and I cannot stress enough how incredible you feel when you walk out of there! Such a great serotonin booster! The camp sessions really test your endurance while the lift sessions allow you to build on your strength each week - I had zero upper body strength when I first started and I’m already seeing improvements in just a few weeks! The trainers are beyond brilliant, and for me, this is what makes this place stand head and shoulders above the rest. It’s obvious that they all care about every single member - they’re all very encouraging, supportive and celebrate your wins with you! I’ve had PTs in the past but none of them match these guys’ energy, motivational skills or top tier banter. The whole atmosphere at the club is just so warm and friendly and they do great socials too - I’ve already made some pals for life! Evo have completely changed my attitude towards fitness. Although I started to see physical improvements in just a matter of weeks, it’s not about the number on the scales for me anymore, it’s about getting healthier and stronger and each time I lift even just a little bit more - it’s the best feeling ever! I have way more energy, I’m sleeping much better and I’ve seen such an improvement in my overall mood and confidence - all my friends and family are constantly saying I’ve got my “happy glow” back! I cannot recommend this place enough. It has improved so many areas of my life and I wish I’d joined sooner!!

Two years a member, let me share the Evo experience, especially after the difficult 18 months we all had. Throughout the pandemic, the Evo teams has been working hard to provide Zoom classes. The result? No performance loss during 18 months. Actually, I managed to beat my PB's for Bench, Dead Lift, Squat and Pull Ups. The PT's a very knowledgeable and ready to address specific concerns to improve your performance. They also contribute immensely to the overall vibe in the studio as a warm and welcoming social environment where members, without the fear of being judged or left on their own, manage not only progress but tie long lasting friendships. The socials are great too and really feels like your neighbourhood gym plus alpha. Would I go elsewhere? Well, it has been two years and they speak for themselves. If you want a gym with a twist, don't hesitate, go Evo. PROs: - Approachable and knowledgeable PT.s - Social events - Members with a sense of belonging to a big family :) CON(s): - Questionable musical taste of some PT's :D _____________ Nearing my 40's, I wanted to find a complementary activity to my weekly basketball but I did not want to go to the gym because I would not know what to do and did not want to get a PT as it was too dear. I enrolled for a 30 days trial at Evo Didsbury. Two weeks in, two Evo Lift sessions per week, I had the best basketball session in a long time! The trainers are so welcoming and skilled, you are in safe hands. What more, all members are great guys and met some great people who support new comers. A real gem, I will definitely keep up!

  • Lucy Watson

I have been going to Evo Didsbury now for a couple of years, I didn't realise how much of an important role they have played in my life until Covid-19 lockdown. The Evo Didsbury team reacted so quickly to setting up a programme with a mixture of live and pre-recorded sessions for both bodyweight and weighted sessions. It has been an essential part of keeping my sanity in lockdown knowing that there is session I can do with guidance from the team, even if during the session I am thinking how will I physically do this!! The team are awesome, they go above and beyond to create a sense of community adding in yoga sessions, mindfulness, coffee mornings and my fav the weekly quiz night to keep us connected and supported. Even outside of lockdown the team and other members are friendly and welcoming taking away any self doubt or hang ups you have about your body or abilities, allowing you to get 100% out of sessions. If you are looking for an excellent workout and guided weight training in a community atmosphere then Evo Didsbury is for you!

  • Ruth Keogh

EVO lockdown lean has been one of the main things to get me through this pandemic. Going live almost immediately and offering over 20 live classes per day has given me a reason to get up each day and keep some routine, starting my day off seeing familiar friendly faces with live coaching support and motivation. The morning/evening and weight/camp style classes offers something for everyone and their goals!! They’ll even check in on you over the phone with nutrition and goal advice (much needed when you spend 24 hours staring at the fridge) It’s also made me try something new, weekly Yoga with Rachel is the perfect way to wrap up the week and stretch out all your weeks work! Not to mention the live music, quizzes and comedy nights offered on the weekend nights. It’s the exact same EVO community that you’ll find down in the studio in Didsbury when this is all over - and all for a really affordable and fair monthly payment!! I can’t fault EVO it’s the first gym I’ve seen real results and consistency with!

  • Charlotte B

I started evo feeling (and being) totally unfit and massively self conscious, so to walk into Evo on my own was quite daunting. Literally from the first session, I felt totally comfortable as the PTs were so lovely, welcoming, and nothing like the stereo typical image I had of walking in to a gym/studio to lift weights. Physically I have become stronger than I ever could have expected, but what I was also not expecting was the huge impact it’s had on my mental health. These sessions and community have literally got me through the worst time of my life and I really can’t imagine what I would have done if I didn’t have my Lift sessions during that time. Evo has become a big part of my life and I never expected I’d still be attending because it has such an amazing impact on my mental health; the physical benefits are actually a bonus. To anyone unsure and just wanting to feel better about themselves, this is an amazing environment to join and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve had from the PTs at evo.

  • raffmanc

If you are a member of a gym but you have zero motivation, and want to lose weight and get fit, then Evo is the place for you! You train with lots of other like-minded people, so the atmosphere is always really upbeat and extremely encouraging. The whole set up is perfect for anyone who works, as they have early morning and evening sessions, as well as throughout the day. Evo also provides healthy eating tips so you can continue your regime at home. I lost 3st training at Evo Camp and Evo Lift. Evo helped me through a tough time with a footballing knee injury. I was piling on the pounds and regular High Intense Interval Training (Evo Camp) Helped me keep the weight at bay. You should get in touch with any of the PTs at Evo, they are all super friendly and very welcoming. You can ask them anything and you’ll be sure to get the answers you’re looking for! What are you waiting for?

  • Maddy Bridge

If you’re interested in lifting weights in a friendly group setting, Evo is the gym for you. Perfectly situated off Burton Road (best of luck avoiding that post-gym beer!), it’s a fab environment for both beginners, and more seasoned gym goers, to push themselves and get stronger. The coaches really make Evo, with their great knowledge, and (occasionally) great banter. Regular testing weeks ensure you stay top of your game strength-wise, and regular socials, well they’re just good for the soul! The manager really goes above and beyond, and genuinely cares about each and every member. Whether you’re new to the area, new to lifting weights, or could just do with a little guidance and extra motivation when it comes to weight training, I couldn’t recommend Evo enough.

  • Thomas Jenkins

Amazing gym, the training team are all fantastic, knowledgeable and very driven in helping you attain you're personal goals. I have been lucky in finding this gem of a place via their most excellent trial offer. The community that this place has evolved around its self is nothing short of staggering, everyone is welcoming, warm and crazy helpful. If you are interested in joining the group away from the gym environment they have lots of othe activitys from mountain climbing to roller discos. So if you are looking for a well priced supportive gym for yourself or a loved one I couldn't recommend it more highly.

  • Alex & Ruth Carmichael

Evo Didsbury is a brilliant gym offering well-guided group personal training and strenuous but inclusive boot camps. All the trainers are hugely knowledgable and supportive, as well as creating a fun, friendly environment for everyone training. The workouts are great for those looking to get into training with no prior fitness experience, as well as those who are fit and looking to maintain or improve their physique and strength. I’m very happy with the health benefits and improvement in fitness that I’ve seen so far, and would recommend Evo to those looking for a Didsbury gym & personal training.

  • Yvonne Brennan

I’ve been going to Evo for a few weeks and have had a really positive experience. The training is really good and the social side of it is brilliant too. There are loads of social activities out of hours as well as a great social side to the training. Personally Evo has been great for me as I have a condition that means I need to take extra care when doing exercises and am prone to more sports injuries. I feel the trainers make a really big effort to find alternative exercises to help me and are always full of great advice. A lot of the time it feels like I have my own personal trainers.

  • George Silvester

A thoroughly enjoyable experience so far. All the trainers are very knowledgeable, friendly and patient when you are new to big lifts. Evo is a great way to safely and effectively start lifting weights, if like me, you've always avoided the free weights part of the gym for fear of making a fool of yourself! The classes are well structured both in content and how they're delivered throughout the week: it really helps take the effort out of ensuring you're hitting every muscle group. Exercise aside - Evo is very sociable, and I can't think back to a time when I have had so many laughs. G

  • Shaun Anthony

I have been a trial member of Evo for just 3 weeks. I started as I had got into a bit of a rut in terms of overall energy, fitness and mental wellbeing. I can say that during my first few weeks I feel like I have more energy, less stress and I am suprised at how light my home weights feel now!! The guys are all brilliant and full of knowledge and can offer you nutrition advice as well as tips that are specific to your goals. The sessions have a very welcoming feel to them and it feels much more rewarding than spending an hour in the gym! Already signed up for full membership!!

  • Georgia Robinson

Evo is absolutely amazing! I started with the trial & afterwards signed up to Evo Lift & Hive Jiu Jitsu! Within 2 months I'd dropped 2 dress sizes! I love the Evo Lift sessions as they are really supportive & help guide you through weight training, especially if you're new to it all. Once I became comfortable with the weights, the coaches are really awesome at pushing you out of your comfort zone, to the point where you actually see results! Above all, everyone is super friendly, fun and supportive - I actually look forward to the sessions - I can't recommend enough!

  • Nicola Bilner

I’ve completed my trial with Evo and became a fully fledged member a couple of weeks ago. The style of training and environment is exactly what I was looking for. Everyone’s really friendly, trainers are lovely and know their stuff - they give great advice on form and make lifting especially feel less intimidating and provide a safe space to challenge yourself but in a fun way. Already feeling stronger and fitter, doing things I’ve never done before and looking forward to what the next couple of months brings!

  • Cassie Louise

Such a great environment, I'm not motivated enough to go to a gym alone. Here I feel that I have not only the support but way more tools to help me achieve my goal. Check in's, nutritional advice, friendly and informed PT's that give sound advice which is more tailored to me as an individual rather than generic weight loss advice. Great atmosphere with like-minded people, and extremely well prepared and thorough during lock down providing quality content through live sessions and prerecorded.

  • Flora Jayne-Coupe

I've been going to EVO for about 5 months now and am really enjoying it, the small group training sessions make the coaching really personal and everyone is so friendly. I was fairly new to weight training but the coaches are all so supportive and really encourage you to push yourself every session and the testing weeks motivate you and highlight your progress. I work shifts but with the variety of sessions available I can still fit in 3-4 sessions a week but wish I could do more!

  • Sharon Sandhu

Having recently joined Evo following a period of indecision around whether to try weight training, I could not be happier with my choice to take up the trial and officially sign-up. The team are very supportive, knowledgeable and offer advice tailored to your aims and progress. The atmosphere created by other members is also one of support and encouragement which is a great bonus. I’m already beginning to feel the benefits after only 6 weeks on both my physical and mental health.

  • Emma Molyneux

Evo Camp is one of the best personal and group training I have ever been to. There are such a variety of classes and group session available and you couldn't ask for better trainers. I have been coming to Evo for around 4 years now and still find the sessions different every week and have met some lovely people along the way. The Evo group sessions anyone can enjoy from all different abilities. I highly recommend EVO. Big thanks for Josh, Jake, Simon, Mason and Ash! :)

  • Jade Thomason

Joined Evo a few weeks ago and honestly it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The team are so friendly, helpful and encouraging and I felt at ease immediately. They talk you through each exercise to make sure you are doing it correctly and safely. There is no competitiveness and everybody is so lovely and supportive. Each exercise is tailored to the individual and their fitness level so you can work out at your own pace. Worth every penny. I would highly recommend!

  • Charlotte C

Evo is incredible...every coach (and other Evo member) just makes you feel so welcome. Whether you're lifting super heavy weights, or start not being able to lift a tin of beans...you are supported, treated as an individual and guided to progress. It's impossible to leave a session in a bad mood! There's no fads or nonsense, just coaches that know their stuff and have grown a community to be so much more than a gym. Would genuinely recommend to anyone and everyone!

  • Claire Trinder

Evo - Didsburys best fitness fix. Whether you want to lift weights, hit bootcamp or prefer 121 training - they have a full and varied schedule to suit everyone. The members are a lovely community with a wide variety of fitness levels and extremely welcoming. They are led by trainers who are extremely knowledgeable and very supportive. Its not all about the sweat either with yoga & wine tasting to name a few of the optional extras.

  • Louise Shaw

What can I say about Evo? Just join! I've been a member for over a year and totally love it! The coaches, the atmosphere, the other members, the socials - it's the whole package! Not only am I physically the strongest that I've ever been but my old aches are all gone and my posture has never been better. Can't thank the team enough, it's more like going to catch up with your mates than working out. 5 star all the way!

  • Darren Ames

Just started a trial at evo didsbury, and for someone who pretty much avoids regular gyms at all costs I feel motivated and encouraged to go to sessions and improve my strength and fitness. The lift sessions are fun and the camp sessions are hard but rewarding. Sessions don't feel like a chore and the coaches are motivational, friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be continuing after my trail is over.

  • Lisa Goodier

I am 3 weeks into my 4 week trial and I have just signed up to continue after it ends. I am really enjoying the sessions much more than I ever thought I would. The trainers are really motivating and make the workout enjoyable and engaging. They are always offering support and encouragement to push myself further than I thought possible. Evo is great value for money and I would highly recommend you try it.

  • Sophie H

I've just started my 30 day trial 2 weeks ago and I'm loving being a part of the Evo community. Felt so intimidated at the thought of it before I started but everyone is lovely, I feel so much better already just for getting back to the gym and the guys are great at supporting you whatever ability. I have also met lots of other people in the same position and everyone is so friendly and welcoming!

  • Edward Crocker

I've been a member of Evo Camp for four years, which is all the recommendation you need. Helped me get a six-pack, transformed my fitness and is full of friendly people: nothing like a normal gym. Loads of sessions a week so you can pick and choose them to fit your lifestyle. Trainers know their stuff but aren't intimidating. If you live near or in the Didsbury area, I can't recommend it enough.

  • Nick Lowden

Joined in September 2018 and have loved every minute of it. I was always someone who went to the gym regularly but never saw results as I wasn't sure what I was doing. The coaches helped with this by being extremely supportive and making sure I understood what each exercise was and made sure I was using the correct technique. Evo is not only gym it is a community that produces results!

  • Rachel Campbell

I absolutely love Evo! I joined around 3 months ago now and it’s been the best thing ever! You don’t need to prebook sessions, the coaches are brilliant and the timings fit around my busy schedule at work. The people you meet are amazing and it’s such a good atmosphere to train in. I can’t recommend it enough and would never go anywhere else now. Join Evo, you won’t be disappointed!

  • Lorna McBride

The fitness fix you never knew was missing. A million times better than a traditional gym or classes - you work harder in your sessions, with supervision and guidance from the brilliant trainers and there’s a proper community feel. The trial is well worth it to get a feel for what Evo is all about, then you’ll soon see such good results it’ll be difficult not to continue

  • Daniel Sheehan

Excellent trainers, sociable and supportive members, interesting classes and a real commitment to help members reach their goals. I’ve been going to Evo for over a year and it’s the only thing that I’ve stuck with consistently! I can honestly say that I still really look forward to going to sessions every week and I actually miss it when I can’t go! Never thought I’d say that!!

  • Graham McCusker

The best team of trainers you could think of. Encouraging, friendly and they are all highly knowledgeable about every aspect of getting you to the next level, whatever level of fitness you are at. All abilities attend the classes so nobody feels left out! Great social banter too, Mason is so funny. Every class I go to puts a smile on my cheeks! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

  • naomi clarke

I cannot recommend Evo enough. All the staff are super friendly, supportive and really push you to reach your goals. I am enjoying trying new things that I would have never done at a gym by myself. I enjoyed my trial and have since joined as a member. I've only been going for 5 weeks and can already feel a difference in myself physical and mentally. Thank you so much Evo!

  • YP Song

If you need some encouragement to work out, this is the place for you. I’ve been going to Evo for personal training for a few months now and and with each week, I feel stronger and better in myself. Simon has been very supportive and encouraging the whole time. There’s always the temptation to “have a lie in instead”, but it wouldn’t be right to let my PT down right?

  • Deborah Ezair (Linton)

This place is a cut above regular gym workouts. I never thought I could be a physically strong person until I joined Evo - I now feel stronger than I have ever been and it's a great feeling. The coaches are ace and pay attention to each person's development, the members and atmosphere are fun and supportive and you train hard. The tunes are pretty good too!

  • Amy W

I recently completed the 30 day trial at Evo and absolutely loved my time here. Having always been someone who struggles to find the motivation to exercise I was always keen to attend the classes and thoroughly enjoyed them! The trainers are great, super friendly, knowledgeable and motivational, and the other members are absolutely lovely- highly recommend!

  • jane hall

I can’t say enough good things about Evo. The trainers are great and the atmosphere is really friendly. The style of training is exactly what I enjoy, a mixture of circuits and weight lifting and I’ve certainly noticed a difference in my body. I have achieved my goal of feeling stronger thanks to the support and guidance of the whole team. Thanks guys!

  • Tom Mullen

Signed up for Evo in January and been loving it ever since. I’ve always kept fit and been to gyms, but never really knew what I was doing and progress was limited. Evo is run by trainers who give the sessions proper structure, and offer loads of advice. It’s also very friendly and sociable so a good laugh too. Best keep-fit experience I’ve ever had!

  • Matilda Hunt

Amazing little gym in the perfect location. The trainers are fab and really invested in pushing you to achieve your goals. I’d never lifted weights before, and now I’m hooked! The social side is such a bonus too. I joined just after moving to Didsbury and have made friends for life. Thanks to the whole Evo team for running such a fabulous gym!

  • Alisha Woulfe-Flanagan

EVO is great! All the trainers are so knowledgable, supportive and encouraging. They really help you perfect your techniques - I've been here a month so far and I've already learnt so much. I've also found it really motivating training in small groups as opposed to training alone. It's such a friendly environment too. I'd highly recommend.

  • Ben Hayes

I’ve been going to Evo lift sessions for nearly 2 years now and have improved well in all key areas. All the coaches are amazing and create a relaxed atmosphere with really well thought out structured sessions. They are an independent gym with a real focus on the local community. The morning sessions have become what I plan my week around.

  • Katherine Brown (Kate)

Great coaches, Great session! I signed-up for a 30-day trial, and it's been incredible! The EvoLift sessions are great and the coaches really help you to improve form & push yourself, EvoCamp is fast paced, dynamic and really friendly! I have loved my first 30days with Evo, and am looking forward to staying with them now my trial is over!

  • Kate Mullan

When I started I hadn't done any exercise in over 10 years, had a 9 month old baby and joint problems (my joints dislocate from hypermobility). I have benefited greatly from personal training and evo camp, it’s a great community. I am much stronger and have lost 2 dress sizes which is a bonus. I can highly recommend Joshua Paul fitness.

  • C F

So happy I stumbled across this little gem of a gym - it’s the first time I’ve actually stuck to an exercise regime. The trainers make the sessions really interactive and they change it up every time, so you never get bored. The community makes going to sessions actually fun and something to look forward to. Couldn’t recommend more!

  • katharine mcbeath

A much cheaper/funner way to get the results you would want from personal training. Trainers are all fabulous and are more like motivational friends. I always feel safe and supported to lift heavier weights that I would never try by myself AND you get cheered on. Great location and you can park in co-op if needed. Highly recommend.

  • Imogen Partington

The classes are absolutely fantastic, as a beginner they really made sure I was supported and taught the proper techniques, they always felt challenging but not something I was unable to do and there were plenty of modifications to make things easier/harder as required. Also a really friendly community, could not recommend more!

  • Vicky Wright

Great community gym, with knowledgeable, and supportive trainers, in a motivational, and friendly atmosphere. I have just completed my 1 month trial, and have now signed up as a member. I am looking forward to continuing my training at Evo, and also getting involved in some of the social activities they run outside the gym too!

  • Brian McNamee

I’ve been going to Evo for around a month now and it’s honestly top drawer. Great atmosphere, excellent and experienced trainers who work you hard and get results. I’ve always enjoyed fitness but Evo have turned those tough sessions that you’d like to skip into fun and engaging sessions that I hate to miss! Really recommend

  • Maria Koufaki

High-quality work out (mostly circuit, meaning all levels can train together) with a variety of drills, motivating environment, plus an easy platform to book sessions that best fit your schedule. I joined a month ago, and I was welcomed by friendly coaches and challenging exercises. Evo Didsbury is definitely a keeper!

  • Scarlet Mayes

Super gym! I’ve been a member for about 4 months now and the progress I’ve made is amazing! The coaches are very knowledgeable and motivating which really give you the confidence to achieve so much more then you would on your own. There is also a great community feel which makes sessions really enjoyable.

  • njaysea

Love this place - great vibe here and very welcoming for newbies. I have always felt slightly intimidated about doing weights in certain gyms but this place feels like everyone’s in it together whether you’re a novice like me or a more advanced ‘lifter’. EVO Camp is also great fun. Albeit painful fun.

  • Jessica McCartney

I just moved to the area and Evo is the perfect place to not only meet new people with similar interests, but to push your training to new limits and grow in confidence too. The trainers are all amazing and hilarious as well. What more could you want?? I love this gym, it's well worth the money …

  • Lauren Magee

I joined a few months ago as someone who hates the gym and had very little experience of lifting weights. Now, I actually look forward to the classes as the coaches and the rest of the people who go are so friendly and helpful! I have never felt stronger and would recommend anyone to give it a go!

  • Melanie Telford

This is the best gym in Manchester. They provide a professional, tailored service that makes exercise less laborious and enjoyable! They also contribute to the community by organising and partaking in social events and with your membership, you get discounts at local businesses! Great work guys!

  • Ross F

Highly recommended the small group training (Evo Lift) for any level from beginner to advanced. A friendly and comfortable space to learn weight-lifting technique or consistently improve form and of course increase weight. Friendly and supportive coaches and a nice community atmosphere too.

  • Katie Droogan

I can’t recommend Evo enough! They offer a friendly and supportive environment in which to train and their coaches, especially Head Coach Simon are knowledgeable, motivating and also fun to be around! I’ve been to lots of different gyms in Didsbury/Manc but Evo is in a league of its own.

  • Jessica Spark

As someone who hadn’t lifted weights before, I now thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Evo! There is support throughout to ensure you are lifting correctly and advice on how much to lift etc to ensure you progress. Everyone is very friendly - would recommend to people of all abilities.

  • Rosa Greasley

In the final week of my trial and have really enjoyed all the sessions; coming from having not been to a gym in close to two years. I have definitely felt I have improved in fitness and strength. The community is definitely the thing that makes Evo stand out above the rest though.

  • Amy Evans

Awesome place to go to build strength. I have been going just over a month using the trial and have now signed up. The coaches are awesome and really easy to ask for advice and will suggest alternatives to exercises (I have back problems). Everyone is really friendly. Love it!!

  • Sian Brown

I've been going to Evo since September 2022. I thought I'd give it a try for a few months but haven't looked back! The instructors are really lovely and make you feel completely at ease but provide challenge as well as great technical help. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

  • Emily Simpson

Love this place. I’ve been going to camp for over a year and lift since the start of this year, and I’ve noticed such a difference in my strength. Trainers are great, atmosphere is amazing and I’ve made some really good friends to top it off. Just the best.

  • Rachel Clements

An excellent team of trainers who are not just running high quality sessions but also creating a great community - recommended if you want your exercise to be effective, informed, and fun. Good value, really supportive, and highly personalised training.

  • Cris Rot

Great place to start lifting! The trainers are super nice and attentive, they take time to explain the routines and give advice on the correct practice. Really good atmosphere overall and no awkwardness like in a regular gym. Very pleased I joined! :)

  • Rhiannon Owen

I joined Evo as it had a combination of weight training and high intensity work outs. After doing the trial I was more than happy to continue my membership. The people, the trainers and the program is amazing. Could not recommend this place enough!!

Great, friendly gym. Very welcoming for newcomers with a good variety of routines to stop things getting too samey. I'd always been put off gyms due to worries about the "culture" around them, but nothing to worry about at all here.

6 weeks in and I’ve loved every minute of it. A great group of people and fantastic trainers who know their stuff! Working out with other people adds another level to your workouts that I’ve never been able to find in a regular gym.

I've been coming for about 5 months now and really enjoyed my time at Evo! The trainers are super supportive & knowledgeable and the smaller group sessions are good for 1-1 feedback on technique for lifts. Really welcoming vibe!

Stop reading reviews and just go!! Brilliant atmosphere and a community in itself. Great full body work out. Don't worry if you're unfit, you will see yourself improving each week and you can take each station at your own pace.
