I have had bursitis in my shoulder for 10 years - tried everything. I have also suffered regular episodes of severe back pain. I started working out at Evolve in February 2019 and my problems have melted away. Mike is fabulous. He is always correcting my alignment, always reassessing and getting me to push myself harder than I think possible. My fitness level has improved tremendously. Well worth the investment!!! More...

Not going to kid you and say I love working out and going to a gym but its a necessary evil and Mike and his staff make the effort worthwhile. The semi-private training means I get a targeted program that address my physical limitations while still improving my strength and conditioning. I've had very few back issues starting at Evolve and that's incentive enough to keep going but a welcoming group of workout buddies, pleasant atmosphere and professional staff are all part of the package.

I’ve been going to Mike’s for about 6 months now. I’m 16 and this gym has been perfect for any young athlete looking for professional training because Mike create your programme based of your sport.

Evolve has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to work out there. The low-key, positive and caring attention of Mike's semi-personal training sessions has kept me coming back to Evolve for over two years now, and with the steady progression of his programs I've made great gains in strength and lost a previously-persistent elbow problem. I'll keep coming back!

After years of prompting from my good friend Tracy, and my partner, and falling out of shape and feeling weak for the first time in my life, I joined EVOLVE FITNESS OTTAWA. I don't like mornings. I haven't missed a 6am class since I started. I don't like gyms. These workouts, this gym, Mike and his team - this is not "the gym". Our workouts are dynamic, holistic, and have multiple entry points. Mike is active in coaching each individual while creating a group vibe: when I need personal instruction and motivation I get it from Mike, and this community of inclusive and fun-minded folks. An active life involves work; I've found a reason to get up and get to the work: I'll be better for it; I already am. More...

This is not your typical gym. You won't find any of the ubiquitous fitness machines or the one-size-fits-all approach. Mike and his excellent team will provide an innovative and progressive program tailored to suit your needs, abilities and goals. You will receive individual instruction in a relaxed and friendly setting. Each session is a total-body workout that improves posture, balance, flexibility and strength. Soon after I joined, my wife and children came aboard and we are all hooked. Very highly recommended! More...

A year ago I injured 3 of my disks(lower back) and I couldn't walk for few weeks. After few physio sessions I was recommended to go to Evolve. All the people who I cross path with are super nice and super knowledgeable which makes it very easy to adapt with the style of place. After few months of training with them I didn't have any pain on my lower back even though all the doctors that I visited told me I have damaged my back severely. I'm back on training like before my injury. And they are helping to get back my packs. More...

I've been training at Evolve since 2012. It is now more then just a gym, it's a community of friends that I love training with. I knew right away that Mike was the best trainer in the city. His safe, high quality programming, exercises and attention to body alignment and positioning was the best I'd ever experienced in Ottawa. I've tried other facilities and no one comes close to what Evolve offers. I drive from Barrhaven 3 x a week to train at Evolve because I will travel for quality programming. No matter what coach you have, the workout is consistently safe, and fun! I recommend Evolve to all my clients and friends. More...
