Evolution Trainers

Evolution Trainers has a lot of lovely characteristics, but the most important thing is the friendly athmosphere that the personal trainers and staff create. As you walk in, you are greeted with a big smile of Marcy, the receptionist. Then you hear the others who've seen you before asking how you are doing. It is very different from those franchised health clubs.

All the personal trainers there are great people. I have been working with Alev, who is a great motivator, for a long time now. I remember being very nervous, shy and clumsy when I first started, but somehow Alev made me feel very comfortable with her fun personality and with her careful planning of my exercise course, I improved my fitness level tremendously. Of course other personal trainers had a large part in it, I would hear their encouragements as I panted. Now I chat with them, and even joke with Carlos, who is also a fun trainer.

Other great things: you always find parking, they provide you with towels, shampoo, even deodorant. Not every gym does that, you know. Very friendly, cheerful people. And they have a very large open area. They follow the newest technologies, too. They buy new, fun and innovative gears every so often.

Pros: parking, large open work-out space, friendly and fun staff

Cons: they don't have a sauna.

The trainers at Evolution are top notch--seasoned, attentive and motivated. My husband and I have been long term clients of some of the trainers at Evolution and experienced tremendous benefits in increased strength, decreased body fat, and greater energy levels. The facility itself is well equipped and spacious, with open air areas. The other clientele are all highly motivated and focused as well and enhances the overall workout experience. This is not a frou-frou spa type place--but it's also not an intimidating, sweaty, grunting type of gym either. Just perfect.

The owner, Ashley Selman is not only an expert within her training profession, she understands people. Her empathy and intuition is outstanding. Therefore, she has attracted similar experts. This is an incredible place.

Pros: Parking. Location. Ambience. Equipment and incredible experts

Modern gym with all the latest equipment. Trainers are incredibly well educated, experienced, knowledgeable and fun. Group lessons are fun and social but intense workouts with lots of personalized instruction. Trainers like to use all different kinds of equipment so excercises are varied and clients always experience a new challenge. I highly recommend this gym and all the trainers who work there.

Pros: Great facility and trainers

If you want to get into shape or are in shape and want to improve, this is the place to be. Outstanding trainers in a fantastic facility. I've been to other facilities and they have their "top" trainers and the rest filler but at Evolution, they're all excellent. These personal trainers are truely personal, they fine tune sessions to specifically help you and you alone. They've certainly improved my health and they continue to keep me where I want to be.

Pros: Personal training at it's best

I had a knee tracking problem that kept me from running, which is my favorite thing to do. Needless to say, I was really unhappy. I saw an orthopedic surgeon, podiatrist, and physical therapist. I got orthotics, cortizone injections and PT, but it only got worse. I was told I should find another sport. After 1.5 years, Ashley Selman took the time to analyze my gait and leg and gave me some specific exercises to work on my problem areas. Between Ashley and my massage therapist, I am running again with no pain and plan to do a half marathon in the next few months! The trainers at Evolution are well educated on the human body and really want you to be best you can be. And the facility is so beautiful, you can't call it a gym!

As a newcomer to Evolution Trainers, I was seriously active in ?shopping? for a great place to workout. I have had extensive experience with personal trainers and I knew what I was looking for and what I needed to get me into a consistent fitness regime. And, boy did I find it here!! The facility is exceptionally clean, the staff is very friendly and my fitness group is awesome. Not only do I get a great workout, but I also receive advice on the correct way to do the exercises to get the best results and to avoid injury. Exercising is a commitment of time and dedication on my part and I clearly get the same level of commitment and dedication from Evolution.

Pros: Top-of-the-line equipment!!

Evolution is a fabulous facility for numerous reasons - top notch equipment, clean workout areas & spotless locker rooms. Convenient & trusting services, very friendly & helpful staff. Even the other clients are friendly & happy to be there. Above all, well educated and highly experienced trainers, with great personalities.

Inside Evolution is Restor - a brand new & high quality physical therapy clinic with an excellent & efficient staff. This makes life very convenient in case of rehab needs...

I managed high end athletic clubs for more than 10 years & I can't say enough good things about Evolution Trainers...

Pros: ample workout space, great environment, professional staff

When I first stepped into Evolution Trainers, I was impressed with the bright and airy space of the newly opened facility. The equipment is of the latest technology and there are no shortages of the varying new gadgets to get you fit and toned. A friendly group of highly qualified, professional trainers with extensive backgrounds is abundant at this gym. Over a year ago, I joined Evolution Trainers with a group of my good friends and it was one of the best decisions I made; it is a social outlet for us while getting fit -- we also save money by paying a group fee. Even though I am in a group of seven, workouts are personalized to each individual. Each training session is so well orchestrated by our trainer, Ashley, that we are working out continuously for the whole hour.

Evolution Trainers not only provides state of the art equipment, their facility is well configured and immaculate. You never feel as if you are "fighting for space" when you are training there, it is well lite, airy (they can open huge doors that make you feel as though you are working out outdoors) and everything is spotless; down to the soft, white towels. The trainers are ALL very friendly and welcoming. In addition, the personalized fitness programs are effective and well trained. You know that the trainers are well educated in their fields, committed and supportive of your progress and goals. I would NEVER go anywhere else.

This gym is so personal it is great-- you feel at home with all the friendly and outgoing people. This facility has a high class comfy kind of style. Some more benefits are their reasonable rates, healthy food items to choose from, a massage therapist, and most of all the road to a better you! I personally love the atmosphere it's amazing and the front desk clerk is the best!
