Are you over 50? Has all that sitting at a computer got you out of shape? Have you tried big classes or inexperienced trainers but are afraid of moving incorrectly and getting hurt? Yes, yes, and yes - this has all happened to me. So I researched carefully and arrived at Evolve Fitness (I mean, look at all these 5 star reviews!). I've made so much progress and have learned SO MUCH about muscles and joints, what to do and not to do, and my trainer, Sonny, customizes each move with great precision to make sure I learn how to use the right muscles - plus, he sends me videos so i can continue to make progress in between sessions. And if I have a question, feel a twinge, or forget how to make a move, I'm invited to text Sonny and he responds immediately, again teaching me the muscles and movements to correct it. He is able to pinpoint exactly the cause of my concern and offers variations on the move to counter the areas where I'm getting stuck so I can build up strength and do it correctly.I'm already feeling so much better, more fluid and flexible. Dull aches and pains are going, going, gone. I've always wanted to learn more about fitness by learning very specifically what is going on in the body and what kinds of things work to correct, improve, and strengthen it. The education alone that you get with Sonny is worth the price, and you're getting fit and stronger along the way, reducing your chance of injury - not just at the gym but in life and most importantly, as you age.Speak with Meghan, the owner, she's all about the one-on-one personalized experience, and she'll help you get started.

My initial review was 3 stars due to some error in sending and receive email. Meghan was very kind to communicate the misunderstanding and come in for my second session. My second session went absolutely perfect! Jeff was a wealth of knowledge and his attention to detail is superb. He challenged me to think differently about my workouts and re-think what exactly it is that I want to achieve and how to hit my goals. Although Evolve Fitness is a bit out of my personal price point, I highly advise others to come check out this awesome, friendly facility and crew members - they will most definitely leave a positive impression on you!

I recently joined this studio and it has been one of the best investments I've made.  This is not you average gym: You get encouraging, safe, respectful instruction no matter what your experience or ability.  I've taken Pilates, Core Align, yoga,  Movement Fundamentals and Fit Fusion. The latter two are taught by Bri, who brings a quality of authenticity and insight to each class. The other instructors here each do the same, in their unique ways. Recommended - check them out.

The platform of this gym served me well throughout my weight loss journey. The workouts were challenging but served a wide variety of people in all different areas of their personal journeys. This gym aids in changing people’s lives and I would definitely highly recommend a LBD challenge. I lost two pant sizes and a shirt size participating in an LBD. The management has been very understanding of my circumstances, I wanted to make sure I leave a good review as I exit the gym, encouraging the platform is sound and really does work as long as you show up and put in the work, they will help with the rest and guide you through it every step of the way. To everyone working on yourself, keep up the hard work and give it a chance, it was worth my time and money to get the results, assistance, and support! Thank you for providing me something to be a part of! More...

My partner and I did buddy training at Evolve for a little over six months and LOVED it. From the very beginning, Meghan (who is one of the nicest people you will ever meet) was extremely welcoming, kind and helpful. We were matched up with Tim and couldn't have asked for a better trainer. He was very cognizant of prior injuries and took his time to get to know our strengths and areas we should work on. We were never shamed for having off days, not being able to do an exercise, or even for admitting to some poor eating choices! Tim did a great job at breaking up the workout with different exercises, and we always left feeling accomplished but not pushed past our limits. We also got great tips on exercises we can do at home and even meal planning suggestions. Evolve really provides a great community for building a healthier lifestyle - all of the trainers and other clients are friendly and help motivate each other. We felt and looked the best we ever have, and we would still be going there today if we hadn't moved out of state. I cannot recommend this place enough. We've searched high and low in our new city to find something comparable and it just isn't out there. Don't take it for granted! More...

I plan on staying with Evolve for a while. I recommend it if you are serious about improving your fitness. With this gym you can expect to work on your fitness using exercise and diet. My husband and I started with this gym 8 weeks ago to do the 6 week challenge. I had been working out regularly. Even though I have a good understanding of exercise science I not seeing the results I wanted. I needed an external force to encourage and push me. My husband was struggling with momentum. We decided to do the challenge to help us move in the direction we wanted with our weight, health, and fitness. We completed the challenge and experienced success. As of this Wednesday I have lost 18 lbs of fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle. My posture has been improving. I am starting to run faster. I'm getting stronger. I am more confident. The staff are great. They are positive, informative, and work hard to ensure you work hard. The owner ensures your needs are meet and you are seeing the progress you want. He takes the time to help and listen. The workouts are great and challenging. It is really nice to just show up and be told what to do. All I have to do is push myself and when I struggle to push myself the trainers are there to do it for me. All in the class encourage each other to do our best. The members are all committed and have a good time. The gym is well rounded. It starts with a mobility assessment. That is were I was sold. The owner really does understand health and fitness. He was able to point out mobility issues very quickly. He doesn't use trends to guide you, he uses science and it's data. I appreciate it. His approach is also balanced in his approach. The trainers are knowledgeable as well. The diet during the 6 week challenge was challenging but I think there was a lot of wisdom in it. I learned more about myself and what foods I craved. It gave me a good direction for after the 6 weeks. It helped me to say no to the endless flow of donuts, cup cakes and other food brought into work. Now the 6 week challenge is over, I think before I eat. I haven't given up the junk in my diet, but I have become more mindful and calculated when I do eat it. Sometimes there are seminars that teach specific things about health and fitness. The most beneficial one for me was about sleep and recovery. In addition there are web tutorials on nutrition, exercise or Q&A sessions on specific topics. Again I recommend Evolve Fitness. It is worth the price because it is well rounded and effective.

Switched over to Evolve from a $10/month gym and I'm glad I did! Speaking from a weight lifting/free weight lover's perspective here. The equipment is pretty well-kept and there's a good variety of machines and free-weight stations. They've got two squat racks, two lifting platforms (one is larger for people who do oly), a Rogue power rack, some Rogue bumper plates, a couple of different types of bars, and two Smith machines. They only have two benches (one fat pad) and one incline bench for barbell benching, but plenty of stationary and adjustable benches for dumbbell work. For those into glute work, they also have a hip thruster (not the machine) and a reverse hyper, along with some other leg day goodies like the hack squat, variations of the leg press, and whatever you call the squat machine that you wear a belt attached to a cable and load it up. Lots of bands and kettle bells, a nice long turf area, boxes, step-up, medicine balls, battle ropes, sliders... The list goes on and on really. Tbh felt like a kid in a candy shop when I got here because there was a lot to play around with and try. There's a small cardio area upstairs (and with a handicap elevator) with stairmasters, treadmills, and bikes and a studio classroom. On the bottom floor, they have a treadmill or two and some rowing machines, and there's a Jacob's ladder in a corner of the turf. Overall the place is kept clean, equipment isn't beat up like other commercial gyms and gets replaced at appropriate times (sooner than they would be in a $10 gym for sure), and the locker rooms are nice with saunas! The parking lot definitely gets packed at prime hours (right after people get out of work or early weekend hours) or during classes, but that's an easy work-around on your part. More...

Bought a 6-week challenge through Groupon and had amazing results. I not only lost 12 pounds, but I also became stronger. I started to lose fat in areas not only in areas around my back and arms but most importantly my muffin top . Needless to say, Kenny and his team are incredible. Not only was the trainers motivating and yet tough love to push you to your very best, but the other class-takers were also encouraging. A great community of people who treated each other like family to cheer you on! The bootcamps and personalized group training classes are only 30 minutes long, so by the time they kick your butt, the class is over and you don't have time to hate it. Every class is different, but engage every part of your body. Shoutout to Eric for creating that nice booty and showing me exercises that I normally would be afraid of at the gym (i.e. assisted pull-up, barbell squat)! Shoutout to Kenny who was 110% with you throughout the whole process from observing your daily food logs to challenging you as you progress. More...

I first was first introduced to Evolve in April of 2018 after a text from My friend who wanted to do A Little Black Dress challenge with her. I had tried other gyms in the past but never stuck with it. I was at a point in my life where I was tired of being unhappy. I hated the person in the mirror and was ready for a change. Boy did I not know what I was getting myself into. I’ve gone from burpees on boxes to full burpees, barely pushing a sled to doing sleds on the low side. This gym has given me something I’ve never had CONFIDENCE. Best part of this gym is you gain a second family. Everyone here is beyond supportive. And without a doubt we have the best coaches in Bloomington Normal. They will be your biggest cheerleader but aren’t afraid to push you when they know u can do better.

I started at Evolve Fitness January 2019 Little Black Dress & Tie Challenge with my daughter. At first I wasn't sure about doing this since I never went to a gym before. I was self conscious about starting at my age and how out of shape I was and how ridiculous I might look not being able to do some of the workouts or even be able to keep up with everyone. Those feelings subsided with the encouragement, motivation, and support of all the wonderful coaches. They challenge you and make you feel you can do hard things. Everyone is very welcoming and supportive. I have learned to eat and cook foods I never dreamed I would. I continue to get stronger, have more energy and sleep so much better.
