Fitness Evolution

I have trained with Madonna since September.
She is absolutely amazing! Her knowledge of fitness & diet is more than impressive!
She has changed me for the better & inspired me!
In my opinion she was an exceptional asset to Fitness Evolution! It’s a real loss for her clients!
I have worked with many trainers & have never gotten the results I have gotten from working with Madonna!
If you’re looking for a trainer, look her up!

Best thing about this gym are the members. Very casual, non-​judgmental group that consists of everything from senior citizens, to bodybuilders and everything in between. The down side is much of the weight equipment, specifically the machines are very outdated. I wish they updated their equipment as often as they go through employees. I don’t bother to remember employee names anymore because their tenure will undoubtedly be short lived.

This gym smells great and is in better shape than the 24 hour fitness in town. There is a variety of cardio equipment and I can stream from my iPad off their wifi or use their cardio tvs. The locker rooms are clean and there is even a tanning bed in the locker room. My girls loved their kids club and it’s so inexpensive compared to what I was paying at 24. It’s only $ 15 monthly for each child. The staff are friendly and it is relaxed atmosphere.

Like several of you I was notified recently that Jasmine was terminated from the gym. This is at least the 5^th trainer I’ve worked with in the span of 2 years as the others were also terminated or left voluntarily because of their dissatisfaction. I had two sessions scheduled with Jasmine but never heard from the gym directly that she was no longer working there (she contacted me directly). I’m normally not someone who takes the time to write a review but I am highly disappointed in the decisions made by the leadership in the gym especially as it relates to the personal trainers. I’ve been a very dedicated client and really enjoyed training with Jasmine. She was very accommodating, knowledgeable and a pleasure to train with. While I don’t know all of the details, I’ve witnessed enough of a pattern of turnover in trainers to suggest I find personal training elsewhere.

I have been a member of the gym through many owners. I am disappointed that Jasmine the trainer i had been working out with was let go She was very inspirational. I liked how she had my workouts unique to me. Huge loss for me.

Unfortunately my experience was not amazing with Fitness Evolution. The reason I came to the gym was because I won an auction item that had personal training sessions, Pilate sessions, and a gym membership for a month. Great, right? Well, upon going in for an orientation with their Fitness Manager, I was able to meet Madonna, the saving grace of this company, and her and I hit it off. After deciding to take the plunge and sign up for personal training sessions with Madonna, I was excited. It was really expensive but I felt like I was being appreciated for my business by Madonna — she was always so kind and hardworking with me. Months went by and I enjoyed our sessions together, and even after being DOUBLE CHARGED three times by the fitness manager/​front desk staff, I was still friendly and cordial with everyone working there. Unfortunately, with my wedding in March, I became very unmotivated to work out because of the stress of the planning a wedding so from February 2016 — present I haven’t been going in to the gym. Earlier this week, I was informed that Madonna was no longer with Fitness Evolution because of basically being «too kind to her clients». I didn’t quite understand that business model, but was pretty surprised when I received a notification that I had a training session with her even after she had been let go. After confirming it with her, it amazed me that the company chose to falsely create an appointment to get me back in so they could place me with a trainer of their choice; that’s what I assume the plan was at least. I don’t know how a business could run without integrity. I understand that business is business, and money has to be made, but I am pretty disappointed with my experience overall. Just be straight with people, I know for myself, I relate to that the best.
Sorry for the harshness, but this is how I feel Fitness Evolution.

I’ve been a member of this gym for over 5 years even when it was Gold’s Gym — I really love coming here because everyone makes you feel really comfortable and there’s none of that high pressure or feeling of being looked down upon by the staff or other members. My kids love their kid’s club and my husband does personal training here too. Even when we moved a bit farther away, we kept our membership here because we just didn’t want to go to LA or 24 Hour after feeling like part of a family here at Fit Evo. Great prices too — and very clean facilities!

I was suddenly told that my personal trainer, Jazmin, will no longer be training me because she was terminated for her bad review here at Unilocal.That is so shocking to me because I have been training with Jazmin P. for a year and a half with visible results. I’ve seen interactions with other trainers and clients of Fitness Evo and she exudes superior knowledge of female anatomy. I have never witnessed her possessing equipment over a curious lifter. She is an easygoing, enthusiastic example of an experienced weight-​lifting athlete that is focused in her clients needs. That may have been construed as rude by Larry F. How sad for her MANY clients, who were not asked once, how we feel about our personal trainer. Sucks that this is the nearest, convenient gym to my home.

I signed up for this gym last week, and have gone just about every day since the day I signed up. I signed up for this gym to take the group classes mainly. I’m very intimidated by gyms normally, and have had a very difficult time finding a gym where I feel comfortable in the past. I’m so excited to be a part of a gym that doesn’t make me feel this way! I absolutely LOVE their classes, and their instructors have been wonderful. Their staff is very friendly, and I feel so welcomed by the other people in the classes I’ve taken. Megan and Steve are awesome, and I absolutely enjoy their classes. Thank you to all of the staff who have made me feel so welcome here.

Jasmine is a trainer at this gym and she is the most rude, inconsiderate, condescending and nasty employee I have encountered in over 30 years of going to gyms. She will block off anywhere from 2 – 6 pieces of equipment at a time and rudely tell you to go pound sand if you don’t like it. Complained to manager numerous times, which resulted in nothing changing. He either has a thing for her, or he just does not give a crap.
Go to the Fitness Evolution web site and try and find an address or phone number for their corporate office. You will not be able to, and there is a reason for that.
Enough said. Find a gym that is not too ashamed or scared to be held accountable.

This is one of the shadier establishments my wife and I have ever had the unfortunate privilege of working with. My wife went there because of rave reviews from a friend about one of their personal trainers, Madonna. She wanted to get back into shape after having our first child earlier this year. John, the general manager, fired my wife’s personal trainer right after my wife signed up for three months of working out with her because she took too long stretching her clients after workouts instead of jumping into the next session. When we said we wanted to cancel our membership because we had come specifically for that trainer, he referred us to the assistant general manager and refused to allow us cancellation. We had to check with a local attorney to see if their membership contract was legal (it wasn’t) and had to provide examples of law to allow us out of the expenses. The entire experience was met with sarcasm and snark from the GM and AGM. We are glad to be out of there, and would certainly not recommend them to anyone.

This place reminded me of exactly why I don’t sign-​up with gyms in the first place. I was referred specifically to one of the trainers at Fitness Evolution, Madonna, by a close friend of mine. I contacted the trainer personally outside of the gym, set up a consultation, met with her to discuss my goals and health history and tour the gym. She then introduced me to the General Manager, John, to sign up for the training. John explained I needed a membership agreement + the personal training agreement to train there, so I signed up for the most basic membership and personal training for 3 days a week with the trainer I was referred to (a $ 49 enrollment fee + first and last months dues + the first month of the personal training). I worked with Madonna for 3 weeks, who was absolutely fantastic, only to get a call from FE one morning letting me know she was no longer with the the gym. Come to find out she was let go for stretching her clients for too long at the end of their sessions and not stacking more training sessions in (what trainer DOESN’T stretch their clients?).I was bounced around to 3 different people, including John, where I repeatedly had to explain why I no longer wanted to train at their gym (since I wanted this specific trainer) and only signed up to train with her. My husband and I had to check with a local attorney on the terms of their contract only to find out their membership contract isn’t legal. After 4 days, I received a call letting me know they would extend a «courtesy cancellation» to me after providing examples of the law their contract violated. This was a completely miserable experience, not to mention the gym equipment seems very dated and could use a re-​vamp. Luckily I was able to follow Madonna to another gym to continue training with her privately and without the headache of this place. Would clearly not recommend this gym to anyone.

Fitness evolution is a great gym with a clean and friendly atmosphere. The staff works very hard to keep the gym spotless and always greets me with a smile when I walk in. Finding a clean gym these days can be hard so I appreciate seeing cleaning staff on site very often. The gym is the perfect size with plenty of equipment so you aren’t stuck waiting to use what you want. They offer tons of classes at different times that I can easily work into my busy schedule. Thank you Fitness Evolution, keep up the good work!

Love this gym! The family environment and staff are everything you’d want in a local gym.

Update to my previous. I came back for a few visits and I like some of the changes. Still the same old equipment but the layout is better now. Feels more roomy. However, I have noticed a group of 4 – 5 bodybuilder types that work out together in the mornings. It is one specific group and I think one of the younger ones might even work there. They travel in a pack from station to station. They literally leave hundreds of pounds of weight plates on the machines and have been doing so for a long time. Staff does nothing to address it, leaving the members to deal with this uncomfortable situation.

Definitely try to avoid this place. If you do happen to sign up, try to avoid giving them your routing and account number. They will tell you it saves you a little money but the piece of mind knowing they cant access your bank account is worth it.

Close and convenient. Great value. Best part is there’s lots of equipment and not crowded. Could use more fans and air movement. Definitely recommend.

I like this gym because it’s local and the gym equipment is always available. It’s clean, no odor like 24 hour fitness or LAfitness, equipment is good, and it’s never crowded. As far as customer service, the women are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. But, the male workers have an air of arrogance and have poor customer service. My husband and I have swiped are member’s card several times in of front guys and they literally stop what they’re doing and stare at us while we swipe our badges; no smiling, no hello, just stare. It is awkward. I let it slide the first 3 times, but, every single time. I’ll record thee encounter next time. It’s better having no one there than someone who stares.
If you’re going to work the front desk, greet your paying customers because god forbid that’s what the front desk does.

Honestly I’m done with this place. They are the worst gym I have ever been to. My husband and I signed up and we were going for a while but that changed recently. Let’s start with the equipment. It is fine… If you like treadmills that while you are trying to run the speed will slow down and speed up and weights where the grips and coming off. If you try to tell an employee about these issue they put an out of order sign on it for a few days and then take it off but never fixed the problem. Let’s move on to the people they let in to the gym. There are two different types of people at the gym. High school kids that stand next to and sit on the machines talking to each other but don’t ever work out and the other group are guys that are overly buff and are loud and for some reason like to yell when they are lifting. It is very annoying and if you tell the staff they don’t do anything about it.
Let’s move on to pricing. They got us by saying it was only 9.99 and month. We came in and they signed us up they very quick to take our money. The guy we talked to said there was a fee to lock us in for a year I was okay with that because it wasn’t that bad and you get this at any gym. The guy told us we would get charged in a month. Two weeks later we were charged for our passes. After talking to them they fixed the issue and it was fine. When it came to canceling our membership I had called and they told me I would have to come in and do it in person. My husband and I both go to school full time and work part time so everytime we are together the gym was closed. When my husband and I finally had a moment to go to the gym (which I had to take off work to do) we were able to cancel the memberships. OH WAIT! Not before they make you pay for canceling! So after being pissed and making a damn scene they said «let me call corporate and see if I can get the fee waved». We said thank you and left still pissed but not as pissed. We got a call maybe ten minutes later saying the fee is waved and that the memberships were canceled we said thank you and hung up.
This is where we were supposed to part ways with this gym… Until I checked my credit card bill… Guess what was waiting for me. A charge from fitness evolution. I’m done with these people! They are so sketchy! They don’t know how to run a business!

Nice gym everything is clean and new will recomanded come to work out right here everybody is friendly and I’ll help you if you don’t know how you work out trainers ask for Marlo… Marlo is the best trainer… and asking for John is the general manager and he will be happy to help them with a membership
