Reviews of Fitness Evolution

Kelly Chellis

Melanie, Jessica and team are fabulous. I have never had a gym membership before - I occasionally did some aerobics but never felt comfortable in a gym. After the age of 50 I definitely need some strength training, so I started trying to do some at home - I was kidding myself! Then I saw a post about Fitness Evolution and their Covid protocols - it sounded safe and had small classes. Bonus - it was close by! I have now been a member for 10 months - I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. The workout is tailored to my abilities and adjusted when needed for body aches or injuries. They monitor progress, adjust your form and cheer you on. There are classes at all times of the day with only 8 people per class. Scheduling classes is easy. Absolutely every person I have met there - coach or client - is positive, supportive and kind. This is not a competitive environment - just a place to get strong and healthy on your own terms. I highly recommend you check out FE.

I'm not a "gym person" and I've always struggled with consistency in my fitness. Fitness Evolution has really changed all of that for me. I now love going to the studio regularly, and I have accountability from trainers and other clients to help keep me on track. Fitness Evolution emphasizes establishing a positive mental attitude as a stepping stone on the track towards achieving fitness goals. This is key for me as I struggle with mental health issues and need a positive and caring environment to feel safe. I love that the classes are small, and that I am guaranteed individual attention when I need it. I can go at my own pace, and I feel more confident using equipment the correct way (without putting myself at risk of injury). Melanie and all of the trainers go above and beyond to ensure that every single client's personal training is specific to their needs and lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining physical fitness can be a struggle–especially if you're doing it all on your own, but Fitness Evolution makes it easy (and fun)! All you have to do is show up.

I had been wanting to add strength training to my life for years but didn’t know where to start, so I never did. A friend told me about small group personal training at Fitness Evolution and it has been exactly what I wanted. I love showing up and having the trainer tell me exactly what to do so I don’t have to figure out what weights or what exercises equal a full body workout. I feel motivated when I increase my weights and am inspired when I see other people using heavier weights than me.

Being in my late 50s and terribly out of shape after to many years of being sedentary, I was nervous about joining a gym but also determined to get strong again. Melanie and her staff have created a wonderful, welcoming space where I never feel self - conscious. The small group training is perfect, and they are able to win with my knee injury without a problem. I'm feeling stronger and more myself every day. Stop by - you won't regret it!

Andrea Francesca

My dietician recommended Fitness Evolution specifically because of their unique approach to “working out”. I was interested in a personal trainer at first but This is beyond better. I have several trainers in small groups and I feel very comfortable asking them questions and they always help with form which is something i can’t tell very well on my own. They not only help me when I’m there but they’re always supporting me online too. When i try and push myself to do a 3rd strength day at home i have an entire library of trainers on demand/video that I can do from home. They are all very personal and its like having my own team of support in making strength training apart of my lifestyle. If you’re looking for actual help and support to add strength and movement to your life, I would 100% recommend coming here.

Fitness evolution is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The trainers are informative, attentive, and truly care about your personal goals and achievements. I can’t recommend them enough.

Kim Banks

Fitness Evolution Is amazing! Staff is super nice and very knowledgeable and caters to your individual needs at every workout. Atmosphere is positive and motivating. Even though I just joined a short time ago (6 months) I already know I will be going here for years to come!

Angela Cichon

I have been a client of Fitness Evolution for almost two years. Working out with trainers is important for me to ensure proper strength training. I cannot say enough about the owner, Mel and the wonderful trainers she has on her team! I have worked out at different gyms for years, and I found my forever, gym home! Not only have I gained more strength and muscle tone than I ever had before but I also gained wonderful friendships! If you are looking for a super, safe gym during Covid, look no further. I have never even considered Fitness Evolution as a risk to me or my family’s safety and have consistently attended since May when gyms reopened. Thank you Fitness Evolution!!!

Erin Theado

I’ve been working out at Fitness Evolution for 2.5 years now and cannot say enough great things about Melanie and her staff! They are all knowledgeable, friendly, and all my workouts are tailored to fit my skill strength and prevent injury. I enjoy coming here so much I’ve recommended my husband, mom and sister who have now all joined as well!

Kelly Ewing

Melanie and the entire fitness evolution staff do an amazing job of providing an environment that I feel safe and supported. All of my classes are catered to my body and fitness level. I’ve been coming for almost a year and definitely notice the results! Not only are they great with communication and flexibility, but they also take the health of their clients seriously. The gym follows strict sanitation guidelines, practices safe social distancing, and conduct temperature checks. There are only a few people in a class, which is great because it’s not overcrowded like orange theory classes or other group fitness classes that I’ve done in the past. They even do a virtual “in person” class where they will still design a workout catered to you and you can “attend” a live class from home complete with live instruction from your trainer! I’m a nurse and I feel extremely safe at fitness evolution, they put all aspects of my health as a top priority!

Kevin Albert

I have been working out at Fitness Evolution for several months now. I have been impressed to say the least. First, the Cleanliness! During a Pandemic, the idea of going anywhere outside your home feels risky, but Fitness Evolution makes extra effort to follow any and all protocols to keep me safe. Secondly, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff is first rate. I have felt like a longtime friend ever since I stepped foot in the gym. My workouts are always very meticulously planned, and if necessary, they have no problem modifying workouts for my needs. I feel so Grateful for all the staff at Fitness Evolution and look forward to continuing to work out there for years to come. Thank you!

I started working with Melanie at Fitness Evolution about 4 months ago. She has been excellent to work with. She makes you feel welcomed no matter what your fitness level is. She's flexible, accommodating, and great at customizing a plan for her clients based on their goals and abilities. And best of all, she's fun to work with! I highly recommend Melanie if you are looking for a personal trainer!

Deb Chaffin

I have been working out at Fitness Evolution for years. The studio is spotlessly clean, with all the COVID-19 precautions in place. The instructors are Fantastic, working with each client to improve their physical fitness. Each client gets and adjusted routine and weights to help grow at a safe rate. For each class, every participant stays in their own 12 x 12 area, reducing the likely hood of contact. And the instructors are very good at encouraging each client.

Aaron Schaub

FE is a great gym! The small class sizes let you get to know the instructors and they will give you individualized coaching throughout the workout. Highly recommended!

Kristin Lea

Best gym ever with amazing trainers!!! Coming to this gym has really helped motivate me to start working out. They personalize all your workouts to your individual skill set. Small group classes and all the other people I’ve encountered have been super nice. If your looking for a gym with a no judgement zone, friendly trainers and fun workouts this is the place!!!

Liz Cress

Melanie is the absolute best!!! I have been to countless gyms and trainers in my life, and Fitness Evolution/Melanie is by far the best. She pushes you hard but knows your body, so makes sure all workouts are safe. She is an expert at what she does. I have been going 3 times a week for the past 6 months and I feel amazing. I am stronger, more flexible, and just all around more healthy. The gym is so welcoming, there is no judgement, and everyone is welcome no matter what level of fitness, age, etc. Thank you Melanie!!!

Naomi Ritter

Melanie and staff are fun, knowledgeable, upbeat and encouraging. My fitness routine is always tailored to accommodate and prevent injuries. It has kept me consistently healthier and keeps me from getting injured at my very physical job! 100% recommend them to everyone !

Lisa Defendiefer

Melanie and her team of trainers provide terrific small group training. They genuinely care about their clients and want them to succeed. The exercise routines are challenging and individualized. Staff and clients take appropriate COVID related precautions. I feel very safe working out there.

Hooks Family

I have been training with Melanie at Fitness Evolution for almost 2 years and I cannot adequately express what an amazing professional she is! Melanie meets each client where they are and is the perfect blend of encouragement along with making you answer the tough questions. Melanie will inspire you to do better and create the best version of yourself. I encourage you to give it a try! Even my husband, who has never enjoyed exercise, now looks forward to our training session at Fitness Evolution.

Mike Hansen

We love the customized workouts and how Melanie and crew help us create and live healthier lifestyle habits. I really appreciate how they keep a watchful eye on proper technique during the workouts to prevent injuries. We were also so happy to find a place that made safety a priority! Everyone is required to wear a mask and we all have a 12 foot square to workout in.

Claudia Giancola

I highly recommend Fitness Evolution. I met Melanie three years ago. She helped me with my fitness goals and improving my overall quality of life. The gym is clean, cozy and staff is always welcoming. They offer individual and group training for all fitness levels.

Vicki Fetterman

Going to Fitness Evolution has been the best thing that I’ve ever done for myself. I have always hated working out and have felt so anxious about starting at a gym. From the first moment I showed up they were all nothing but welcoming and supportive. This is the first time in my life that I have looked forward to working out, and I go at 6am to do so because I enjoy it so much. I shared with them that I injured my ribs about a year ago and they have worked with me to make sure no exercises make it worse while also making sure to remind me of different things that will help to prevent future injuries. As someone who is very anxious about COVID, I feel so safe being there, with everyone in masks the entire time, equipment cleaned frequently and distancing strongly enforced. I can’t rave about this place enough—I just love it so much.

Cathy Sliwinski

The trainers are so encouraging and positive! In all of my 50+ years, I've never been involved in any kind of "work out" or strength training program. As a dental hygienist, I have problems/pain in my shoulders, back, and neck. While my fine motor skills are on point, my gross motor skills are sorely lacking (by my own admission, I am uncoordinated and weak)! But Melanie and Jess are consummate professionals! They challenge me to keep me motivated, all while making sure to taylor the exercises to my capabilities so that I don't get discouraged! I leave the studio hot, tired, and smiling! Many thanks to the staff at Fitness Evolution!

Annie Rosencliff

I joined about 3.5 months ago thinking I would just do the 3 months trial they were offering at the time, then quit. Honestly, I was assuming I wouldn’t get that much out of it. I’ve gone to personal trainers in the past and have never had a great experience. But the location was convenient and it seemed like a different approach than what I’m used to so I went for it. My assumptions were immediately proven wrong! I love the small group training! I get the attention and personalization I need with a touch of social interaction. I don’t feel like I’m being watched and judged by some kid who just finished school. I feel like I’m being monitored and coached by someone who knows and loves what they’re doing! The environment feels safe in multiple ways. They follow strict sanitation protocols. They always make sure I’m doing my exercises with correct form and weight so I don’t hurt myself, and they check in regularly to see how things are going. I’m so glad I joined and I think I’ll be around for a long time.

Mia Hall

I can't say enough positive things about the gym and community. The group format itself is perfect for my needs- focused on building strength and mobility, as well as methodically building healthy habits- and just enough focus, tailored guidance and support, and accountability as to not overwhelm. Alot of encouragement without any of the shame. I love that I only have to show up, warm up, and follow instructions. The owner is a spitfire and very dependable. She is constantly looking for ways to improve everyone's experience and sense of safety, especially during this time of health and safety challenges brought about by Covid. A new option to attend class digitally is awesome! The 2 other trainers are great too. Truly, I'm so happy I found this place.

Jodi Correll

Melanie is a fantastic personal trainer! I have never felt stronger and she has made my arms look amazing for someone in their 60s! Highly recommend her fitness small group sessions and boot camps!

Tracy Snide

My husband and I began working with Melanie Ash of Fitness Evolution about 10 weeks ago. Fitness Evolution is bright and clean and the atmosphere is FUN and UPBEAT! For the first time in YEARS (hell, maybe EVER), I look forward to working-out and owe this entirely to our motivational trainer, Melanie!

Leah Sherban

Love this place! Small group training is great, the workouts are customized and change every month so you don't get bored. I also love the total body intervals class on Sunday, it's a challenging class that still allows you modify and go at your own pace if needed. Studio is clean and bright with plenty of space!

leigh easterling

The training is completely personalized, even within the small group setting. Accommodations have been made for an injury and I am getting stronger with each visit.

Ann Yackshaw

I've been at Fitness Evolution for two and a half years, and I would not consider going elsewhere. Melanie and the other trainers build you up gradually and sustainably but still make it challenging every week.

Richard Morrison

Great staff. They really care about your goals and achieving them. Best decision I ever made was signing up for their classes. Staff is very attentive during class sessions.

Melanie was fantastic in explaining the philosophy of Fitness Evolution. There is no high-pressure sales play, simply a pure interest in seeing if this studio is the right fit. Highly recommend!

Great gym for all types of body types. Always a pointer or advice and great people. Have taken Covid seriously and have been keeping people moving and safe.
