About Fitness Evolution

Fitness Evolution prides itself on being a low-cost and no long-term-contract gym that offers our members state-of-the-art facilities. We love to provide our members with a high quality gym experience while keeping your membership fee as low as possible.

A new brand designed for sustainability and enduring success. The way fitness was delivered and sold 10 years ago, 5 years ago or even last year is being made obsolete each day by technology, consumer needs and competition. We embrace this change as fuel for growth! In each of our markets we develop exactly what that market needs and build in the flexibility to change and adapt each location as opportunity presents itself. We are a team of lifelong fitness business operators that have constructed, owned, developed, managed, and operated facilities nationwide. All members of the executive team either sold their legacy gyms to national brands or left their executive positions with a singular focus; fix how fitness is delivered nationwide. Our facilities are geared around delivering the best facility for the least money to the most members in a market.Fitness evolution will appeal to many existing independent gyms that have seen their market position erode. These owners have had enough with the scramble of a "make it work" approach and are ready to "make it dominate". In the markets we run our model, the consumers' view of what fitness can be and how affordable fitness should be is permanently changed. Fitness evolution has exciting colors, industry leading entertainment and luxurious interiors. All of this is offered at a value price point that has the effect of what we call a market "reset". Our Motto: "We will make it easier and more profitable to do business with us, than without us" Our members experience incredible facilities and a game changing value, as do our franchisees. The attitude of service, respect, and value that we offer our members is reflected in our franchise offering. Growth and volume come from value and respect. Our stores are built and thrive from this simple concept as will our franchise offering. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and leveraged decades of experience to create our product. We will make it all available to you!!
