EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Posted on Google Keely DuffyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Evolve 2 years ago after never stepping foot in a gym before. During my time there, I lost over a stone and gained so much confidence and strength, which helped me continue my fitness journey on my own afterwards. What brought me back was the Small Group Personal Training (SGPT), the discipline, and the accountability that Evolve gives you. I recently completed the 42-day, 6-week Evolution42 experience in Small Group Personal Training, and honestly, I feel stronger than ever, both physically and mentally. I’m leaner, more toned, and in such a better headspace. Although I continued training outside of the gym since I was first at Evolve, I never pushed myself to the same level as I do at Evolve with the support there. The coaches, Mat and Ben, know exactly how to motivate and challenge you in the best way possible. What also makes Evolve different is how welcoming and supportive everyone is the coaches and members genuinely want to see you succeed, and it never feels intimidating, no matter your fitness level. It’s a great community to be a part of and a place where you feel motivated. I’ve just finished the 6-week experience and moved into SGPT, and now I’m feeling amazing. Because of the results and support, I’ve now become a member. I’d highly recommend Evolve to anyone, whether you’re completely new to the gym or looking to get back on track.Posted on Google Kai GibsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been going to Evolve Personal Training Facility and seeing Mat Roberts, the head coach, after being referred to him through physio, and honestly it’s been quality. The coaching and personal training sessions with Mat are properly tailored to what I need, and I’ve noticed a big difference already. I’m going to the gym without questioning which exercises to do next and not spending loads of time there now, thanks to a structured plan around my personal training sessions with Evolve. The online programming through the app that I also get from Mat is easy to follow and gives me structured sessions to follow outside of sessions as well, which has helped loads with consistency and progress. I Would definitely recommend Evolve Fitness & Performance - Personal Training Facility to anyone looking for personal training or online programming.Posted on Google Samantha BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before joining Evolve, I’d trained at standard gyms and tried other group PT sessions, but after recovering from cancer I struggled mentally to push myself. I wanted to feel like myself again, but staying motivated when my body felt tired was difficult. After seeing Mat’s videos and hearing strong recommendations, I decided to get in touch. From the start, Mat was supportive, understanding, and helped rebuild my confidence. He understood the barriers I was facing and created an environment where I felt safe to progress at my own pace. Before Evolve, I would only use basic gym equipment and would never have attempted dumbbells or assisted chin-ups. One of my biggest fears was being pushed too hard or not being able to keep up in Small Group PT, but those worries disappeared quickly. Every session is tailored to the individual, taking into account your ability, strengths, and how your body feels that day. Mat and Ben constantly coach technique, explain movements, and know exactly when to push you or adapt exercises when needed. Over the last 12 months, I’ve gained confidence in my body again and achieved things I never thought possible. I’ve lost over 1½ stone, sleep better, feel healthier, and am lifting weights I never imagined I could. Mentally, the transformation has been just as important as the physical changes. The atmosphere at Evolve is welcoming, supportive, and never intimidating. Mat and Ben genuinely care about every member, creating a community where everyone encourages each other. Joining Evolve has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my health, confidence, and wellbeingPosted on Google Steven BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife, who was also a member, talked highly about Evolve Personal Training Facility. Before this gym, I was focused only on cardio via the cross trainer, with not much guidance or support. I wanted something more structured than a normal gym and somewhere I wouldn’t feel lost or unmotivated. Evolve stood out because it is a personal training facility, and the personal coaching and small group personal training felt like the right balance of support, accountability, and a positive environment. Before joining, I felt a bit stuck. I wanted to get fitter and stronger but lacked consistency and confidence, especially training on my own. Yes, I was worried about feeling judged, not being fit enough, or it being too intense. I’d also had past experiences at gyms where I never spoke to anyone and felt lonely. It felt completely different. You still get personalised coaching, but with the added motivation of training alongside others. You’re never left guessing what to do, and every session has a purpose. It’s far more engaging than walking into a gym and making it up as you go along. It now makes me feel like I am part of a family. I feel very supported. The coaches genuinely care, explain everything clearly, and push you when you need it without making it overwhelming. They notice progress and adapt sessions to suit you, which makes a huge difference to confidence and results. I’m stronger, fitter, and more consistent. I feel more capable during sessions and in day-to-day life, and I’ve built habits that actually stick. My confidence has improved massively. I feel better about myself, have more energy, and I’m more positive overall. Training no longer feels like a chore; it’s something I look forward to. The environment is friendly, supportive, and motivating. It’s not intimidating at all; everyone encourages each other, and it genuinely feels like a community rather than just a gym. What I really like is that it’s not just about workouts; it’s about long-term progress, mindset, and feeling better overall. That makes it feel sustainable, not like a quick fix. If you’re on the fence, just do it. Whether you choose 1-1 or small group PT at Evolve, you’ll get proper guidance, structure, and support that you don’t get in a normal gym. It’s ideal if you want real results without feeling judged or overwhelmed at EvolvePosted on Google Jamie RyanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I decided to join evolve as I had monitored there socials for a long time an once I took the plunge to speak direct to mat and get some more info I felt it would be a perfect place to start my fitness journey due to mats vast knowledge and approach to things and the way the gym seemed like a great close but community an nit just like any normal gym. Before joining evolve I lacked confidence in my self due to the way I looked and felt and didn’t have the confidence or knowledge to go to the gym myself Before joining I did worry if I would be able to do the exercises and if I could keep up with the pace and others in the gym. But them worries was soon put at ease from my first session at evolve which made me want to continue. Being part of the small group personal training is a great experience as you have that feel of 1 2 1 coaching along with the support and encouragement from the others training alongside you and this helped so much. I always felt like I was being watched and given advise on carrying out my exercises and in giving me that boost to push and get the best out of me The coaches at evolve are so knowledgeable and support in every way from adapting/changing exercises that get the best results or the advice with your nutrition and in general health queries Since training at evolve I have noticed the change in my appearance and my fitness has got so much better along with my movement and flexibility Training at evolve has helped me gain more confidence in general life but also in my ability to work out in a normal gym or at home without the feeling of not knowing what I was doing. The atmosphere at evolve is such a good one with everyone supporting each other an the feeling of no judgement Any one looking to get started on a journey of getting fitter and healthier and gaining confidence I couldn’t recommend evolve the facility and equipment are great and mat an the team are more than just a pt , with there knowledge and attitude they really do get the best out of you and can’t thank them enough and praise them for helping me.Posted on Google Rachael FiskeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've trained at Evolve once before, my circumstances with work meant I just couldn't committ to sessions, so when I had the opportunity to go back, I knew what l was getting myself into! As someone one who isn't sporty, active or really enjoys exercise, I was still apprehensive about going back and whether I'd be able to get back into training again. I didn't need to worry though, from the moment I walked back in, I was welcomed with open arms. Small group training is ideal for everyone. The groups are small enough to receive personalised training aligned to your goals. The group environment means we have a good time. We have a laugh whilst training hard. If you are worried about it, everyone is there to help, especially the coaches. Since returning to evolve, I've done couch to 5k, and now run regularly. The strength training compliments it perfectly. The coaches have worked with me to evolve my goals to fit around what I want to achieve not just fit into some program. I wouldn't have had the confidence to start running without the basic fitness and knowledge that I had behind me. Now I've committed to training at evolve, I can't imagine my life without it.Posted on Google Nicola BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During 2024, I’d really lost my mojo with running—and exercise in general. Then in November, I came across an advert for Evolve on Facebook at exactly the right time. I’d already started to realise how much the lack of physical activity was affecting my energy, resilience, and overall motivation. It felt like the push I needed to try something new. I reached out, had a chat with Mat, the owner at Evolve, and signed up for the 6-week Small Group Personal Training programme. Like anything new, there were definitely some nerves—but alongside that, I was genuinely excited to get back into a structured routine, because I knew it was exactly what I needed. I’ve never really enjoyed the typical gym environment. Unless I’m booked into a session, I struggle to stay accountable. That’s why the SGPT setup works so well for me. Every session is planned in advance, so you can just show up and focus. Mat and Ben, the coaches, are both incredibly approachable. They guide you on proper technique and know when to push you a little further—even when you think you’ve got nothing left for that last rep. The biggest win for me has been being able to keep up with my very energetic 8-year-old! He loves that I can squat while holding him and carry him upstairs on my back—a direct result of getting stronger since starting training here. Even when I had a hamstring niggle in 2025 that limited my running, I could still attend sessions because everything is adapted to the individual. That flexibility has made a huge difference in helping me stay consistent. There’s a real sense of belonging at Evolve. Everyone is working towards their own goals, but there’s so much encouragement and support. The mix of ages makes it even better—there’s always good conversation (and plenty of banter!). An added bonus is being able to train alongside my dad occasionally, which brings a bit of healthy family competition into the mix. It’s also been great to take part in things outside the gym, like the Christmas party and a community hike in the Lake District. I’d recommend it to anyone—just go for it. Invest in yourself; you won’t regret it.Posted on Google Ana SupikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined Evolve because I felt completely stuck in my training routine. I wasn’t seeing progress, I’d lost motivation, and I knew I needed proper guidance. I wanted to learn the actual principles of strength training, improve my technique, and finally train with structure. Before starting, I struggled with motivation, accountability, and tracking progress. There were plenty of days I wouldn’t have trained at all if it wasn’t for Mat. His coaching style is exactly what I needed — professional, structured, straight to the point. Honestly, without that push, I would’ve fallen off the wagon for weeks or even months. The level of support he gives is immense. Training in a personal gym like Evolve is a completely different experience compared to commercial gyms. Once you train in a private, focused environment, you never want to go back to overcrowded gyms with no guidance. You realise you don’t need fancy equipment or complicated exercises to make progress — you just need proper coaching and consistency. The changes I’ve seen since joining have been incredible. I’ve become stronger than I ever imagined I could be. My confidence has grown massively, and I’ve built more muscle with minimal training than I ever managed on my own. If you’re thinking about joining Evolve, I’d say this: it’s one of the best health investments you can make. The coaching, the structure, the support, and the results are worth every bit of itPosted on Google sham khanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Evolve because I wanted a more focused and personalised approach to my training. I was looking for guidance, structure, and support that I wasn’t getting training on my own. Training at a private PT facility has been a great experience. I feel like I can properly focus on my sessions, and the environment is supportive and tailored, which makes a big difference. I originally came to the gym with tight hips and a bad lower back, which was really holding me back. Matt introduced me to kettlebell training and more functional styles of training, which have made a huge difference. Over time, I’ve noticed real improvements in how my body moves and feels. Over the last few years, I’ve also been on a fat loss journey. I started at 97kg and have worked my way down to 70kg, which has been a huge achievement for me. A big part of that has been down to my own consistency—changing my nutrition habits, staying disciplined, and committing to training regularly. With Matt’s guidance alongside that, I’ve been able to build a routine that I’ve stuck to long term and made part of my lifestyle. Working with Matt as my coach has really improved my confidence and consistency. He’s helped me understand movements properly, corrected my form, and pushed me in a way that feels encouraging rather than overwhelming. My movement has improved a lot—I feel stronger, more mobile, and more in control of my body. I also genuinely enjoy exercise now and have become really committed to it, putting in the work both inside and outside of sessions. Overall, it’s been a really positive experience and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a more personalised and effective way to train.Posted on Google Andrea GoldwaterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I decided to start training at Evolve after seeing an ad for their LIVE WELL 50 Plus programme on Facebook. It seemed to offer exactly what I was looking for, such as small group personal training sessions and training tailored specifically to me after being diagnosed with severe arthritis. Before starting, I was in a lot of pain and had restricted movement. I was also lacking energy and confidence. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to do very much and that I would be much older than the other members. Small group personal training is very different from normal gyms. You work out in groups of 6–8, which allows the coaches to spend time with each person. It’s not overwhelming, and in a short space of time you grow in confidence and become part of a little gym family. You feel completely supported by the coaches, as they adapt each exercise to suit your ability and needs. I have noticed massive changes since starting two years ago. I have less pain, which has enabled me to reduce my medication. I also have a greater range of movement and much more energy, giving me increased confidence. It has had a huge impact on my daily life, enabling me to carry out everyday tasks with confidence tasks that used to make me anxious before. I now look forward to going to the gym, knowing it is improving my health and mobility as I get older.
