Evo Didsbury

Fantastic experience: A great comfortable place with a friendly atmosphere! This was a great weekly commitment with my colleagues and I. The perfect build up for the famous Tough Mudder, regardless of current level of fitness. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, the training team are all fantastic, knowledgeable and very driven in helping you attain you're personal goals. I have been lucky in finding this gem of a place via their most excellent trial offer. The community that this place has evolved around its self is nothing short of staggering, everyone is welcoming, warm and crazy helpful. If you are interested in joining the group away from the gym environment they have lots of othe activitys from mountain climbing to roller discos. So if you are looking for a well priced supportive gym for yourself or a loved one I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a good mix of people and atmosphere. The trainers go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals and more. They make training a pleasure.

Fantastic experience: I’ve completed my trial with Evo and became a fully fledged member a couple of weeks ago. The style of training and environment is exactly what I was looking for. Everyone’s really friendly, trainers are lovely and know their stuff - they give great advice on form and make lifting especially feel less intimidating and provide a safe space to challenge yourself but in a fun way. Already feeling stronger and fitter, doing things I’ve never done before and looking forward to what the next couple of months brings!

Fantastic experience: 6 weeks in and I’ve loved every minute of it. A great group of people and fantastic trainers who know their stuff! Working out with other people adds another level to your workouts that I’ve never been able to find in a regular gym.

Fantastic experience: As someone who hadn’t lifted weights before, I now thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Evo! There is support throughout to ensure you are lifting correctly and advice on how much to lift etc to ensure you progress. Everyone is very friendly - would recommend to people of all abilities.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the lift classes, makes weight lifting enjoyable as well as difficult (instead of scary as it can so often seem!).

Fantastic experience: Fantastic group training with these guys. Non intimidating, fun, community. Simon pushes you just enough to improve, but not so much you get put off. I’ve moved away otherwise I’d still be going.

Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers, sociable and supportive members, interesting classes and a real commitment to help members reach their goals. I’ve been going to Evo for over a year and it’s the only thing that I’ve stuck with consistently! I can honestly say that I still really look forward to going to sessions every week and I actually miss it when I can’t go! Never thought I’d say that!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended the small group training (Evo Lift) for any level from beginner to advanced. A friendly and comfortable space to learn weight-lifting technique or consistently improve form and of course increase weight. Friendly and supportive coaches and a nice community atmosphere too.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the trial so much I joined up after 3 weeks. Great bunch of trainers and people, good selection of session times and great variety of equipment to keep sessions varied!

Fantastic experience: I started evo feeling (and being) totally unfit and massively self conscious, so to walk into Evo on my own was quite daunting. Literally from the first session, I felt totally comfortable as the PTs were so lovely, welcoming, and nothing like the stereo typical image I had of walking in to a gym/studio to lift weights. Physically I have become stronger than I ever could have expected, but what I was also not expecting was the huge impact it’s had on my mental health. These sessions and community have literally got me through the worst time of my life and I really can’t imagine what I would have done if I didn’t have my Lift sessions during that time. Evo has become a big part of my life and I never expected I’d still be attending because it has such an amazing impact on my mental health; the physical benefits are actually a bonus. To anyone unsure and just wanting to feel better about themselves, this is an amazing environment to join and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve had from the PTs at evo.

Fantastic experience: Super gym! I’ve been a member for about 4 months now and the progress I’ve made is amazing! The coaches are very knowledgeable and motivating which really give you the confidence to achieve so much more then you would on your own. There is also a great community feel which makes sessions really enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Evo enough! They offer a friendly and supportive environment in which to train and their coaches, especially Head Coach Simon are knowledgeable, motivating and also fun to be around! I’ve been to lots of different gyms in Didsbury/Manc but Evo is in a league of its own.

Fantastic experience: I am 3 weeks into my 4 week trial and I have just signed up to continue after it ends. I am really enjoying the sessions much more than I ever thought I would. The trainers are really motivating and make the workout enjoyable and engaging. They are always offering support and encouragement to push myself further than I thought possible. Evo is great value for money and I would highly recommend you try it.

Fantastic experience: Great community gym, with knowledgeable, and supportive trainers, in a motivational, and friendly atmosphere. I have just completed my 1 month trial, and have now signed up as a member. I am looking forward to continuing my training at Evo, and also getting involved in some of the social activities they run outside the gym too!

Fantastic experience: Joining Evo has been brilliant. Not only have I fell back in love with exercising again I’ve met some amazing people. It was definitely the kick start I needed. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Evo for a few weeks and have had a really positive experience. The training is really good and the social side of it is brilliant too. There are loads of social activities out of hours as well as a great social side to the training. Personally Evo has been great for me as I have a condition that means I need to take extra care when doing exercises and am prone to more sports injuries. I feel the trainers make a really big effort to find alternative exercises to help me and are always full of great advice. A lot of the time it feels like I have my own personal trainers.

Fantastic experience: In the final week of my trial and have really enjoyed all the sessions; coming from having not been to a gym in close to two years. I have definitely felt I have improved in fitness and strength. The community is definitely the thing that makes Evo stand out above the rest though.

Fantastic experience: Two years a member, let me share the Evo experience, especially after the difficult 18 months we all had. Throughout the pandemic, the Evo teams has been working hard to provide Zoom classes. The result? No performance loss during 18 months. Actually, I managed to beat my PB's for Bench, Dead Lift, Squat and Pull Ups. The PT's a very knowledgeable and ready to address specific concerns to improve your performance. They also contribute immensely to the overall vibe in the studio as a warm and welcoming social environment where members, without the fear of being judged or left on their own, manage not only progress but tie long lasting friendships. The socials are great too and really feels like your neighbourhood gym plus alpha. Would I go elsewhere? Well, it has been two years and they speak for themselves. If you want a gym with a twist, don't hesitate, go Evo. PROs: - Approachable and knowledgeable PT.s - Social events - Members with a sense of belonging to a big family :) CON(s): - Questionable musical taste of some PT's :D _____________ Nearing my 40's, I wanted to find a complementary activity to my weekly basketball but I did not want to go to the gym because I would not know what to do and did not want to get a PT as it was too dear. I enrolled for a 30 days trial at Evo Didsbury. Two weeks in, two Evo Lift sessions per week, I had the best basketball session in a long time! The trainers are so welcoming and skilled, you are in safe hands. What more, all members are great guys and met some great people who support new comers. A real gem, I will definitely keep up!

Fantastic experience: So many great things to say about Evo! I have been going now since August 2021. Excellent quality training, supportive and motivational. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming for about 5 months now and really enjoyed my time at Evo! The trainers are super supportive & knowledgeable and the smaller group sessions are good for 1-1 feedback on technique for lifts. Really welcoming vibe!

Fantastic experience: If you need some encouragement to work out, this is the place for you. I’ve been going to Evo for personal training for a few months now and and with each week, I feel stronger and better in myself. Simon has been very supportive and encouraging the whole time. There’s always the temptation to “have a lie in instead”, but it wouldn’t be right to let my PT down right?

Positive experience: Friendly, helpful, motivating coaches, great work outs and the circuit training is intense and challenging and high energy - unfortunately for me its slightly let down by the price which is £59 a month just for the Evo Camp. I found somewhere not far away, which is an outdoor bootcamp, on everyday of the week, half the price, and you can cancel any time. Personally I love the outdoor aspect, but depends what you're after!

Fantastic experience: Evo Didsbury is a brilliant gym offering well-guided group personal training and strenuous but inclusive boot camps. All the trainers are hugely knowledgable and supportive, as well as creating a fun, friendly environment for everyone training. The workouts are great for those looking to get into training with no prior fitness experience, as well as those who are fit and looking to maintain or improve their physique and strength. I’m very happy with the health benefits and improvement in fitness that I’ve seen so far, and would recommend Evo to those looking for a Didsbury gym & personal training.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Evo lift sessions for nearly 2 years now and have improved well in all key areas. All the coaches are amazing and create a relaxed atmosphere with really well thought out structured sessions. They are an independent gym with a real focus on the local community. The morning sessions have become what I plan my week around.

Fantastic experience: I've just started my 30 day trial 2 weeks ago and I'm loving being a part of the Evo community. Felt so intimidated at the thought of it before I started but everyone is lovely, I feel so much better already just for getting back to the gym and the guys are great at supporting you whatever ability. I have also met lots of other people in the same position and everyone is so friendly and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Such a great environment, I'm not motivated enough to go to a gym alone. Here I feel that I have not only the support but way more tools to help me achieve my goal. Check in's, nutritional advice, friendly and informed PT's that give sound advice which is more tailored to me as an individual rather than generic weight loss advice. Great atmosphere with like-minded people, and extremely well prepared and thorough during lock down providing quality content through live sessions and prerecorded.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 30 day trial at Evo and absolutely loved my time here. Having always been someone who struggles to find the motivation to exercise I was always keen to attend the classes and thoroughly enjoyed them! The trainers are great, super friendly, knowledgeable and motivational, and the other members are absolutely lovely- highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best team of trainers you could think of. Encouraging, friendly and they are all highly knowledgeable about every aspect of getting you to the next level, whatever level of fitness you are at. All abilities attend the classes so nobody feels left out! Great social banter too, Mason is so funny. Every class I go to puts a smile on my cheeks! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Evo Didsbury now for a couple of years, I didn't realise how much of an important role they have played in my life until Covid-19 lockdown. The Evo Didsbury team reacted so quickly to setting up a programme with a mixture of live and pre-recorded sessions for both bodyweight and weighted sessions. It has been an essential part of keeping my sanity in lockdown knowing that there is session I can do with guidance from the team, even if during the session I am thinking how will I physically do this!! The team are awesome, they go above and beyond to create a sense of community adding in yoga sessions, mindfulness, coffee mornings and my fav the weekly quiz night to keep us connected and supported. Even outside of lockdown the team and other members are friendly and welcoming taking away any self doubt or hang ups you have about your body or abilities, allowing you to get 100% out of sessions. If you are looking for an excellent workout and guided weight training in a community atmosphere then Evo Didsbury is for you!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, Great session! I signed-up for a 30-day trial, and it's been incredible! The EvoLift sessions are great and the coaches really help you to improve form & push yourself, EvoCamp is fast paced, dynamic and really friendly! I have loved my first 30days with Evo, and am looking forward to staying with them now my trial is over!

Fantastic experience: Evo is incredible...every coach (and other Evo member) just makes you feel so welcome. Whether you're lifting super heavy weights, or start not being able to lift a tin of beans...you are supported, treated as an individual and guided to progress. It's impossible to leave a session in a bad mood! There's no fads or nonsense, just coaches that know their stuff and have grown a community to be so much more than a gym. Would genuinely recommend to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Evo for around a month now and it’s honestly top drawer. Great atmosphere, excellent and experienced trainers who work you hard and get results. I’ve always enjoyed fitness but Evo have turned those tough sessions that you’d like to skip into fun and engaging sessions that I hate to miss! Really recommend

Fantastic experience: Joined in September 2018 and have loved every minute of it. I was always someone who went to the gym regularly but never saw results as I wasn't sure what I was doing. The coaches helped with this by being extremely supportive and making sure I understood what each exercise was and made sure I was using the correct technique. Evo is not only gym it is a community that produces results!

Fantastic experience: I joined Evo about a year ago now (one of my friends introduced me to the 30 day trial) I’ve been to a few gyms/PT’s in the past and Evo is by far my favourite. There’s so much choice from weight classes, boot camps, boxing, yoga, personalised 1:1 sessions and they are on at a time to suit everyone (early/mid morning, early/late evening) You can go whenever suits you as as often as you want. All the sessions are a really good size and the people who go are all different ages/abilities so even as a complete beginner you wouldn’t feel out of place. The classes are designed to test your personal limit and even though you’re working out with other people you’re working out to your maximum so you always feel like you’ve had a good workout. The trainers are all amazing and make you feel so welcome (Ash/Si/Mason/Jake and Josh) and they’ll help you as much as you need. Think it’s one of the only gyms I’ve actually enjoyed and had a laugh at whilst at the same time almost dying from the workout! There’s loads of extra help with nutrition and workshops teaching you how to train to get the most out of your workout (if you have no idea like myself!) I’ve met some great people whilst training at Evo, they have social events on regularly (which I never thought I’d go to) but I have done and have really enjoyed them! I don’t normally do reviews but this one is definitely well deserved!

Fantastic experience: Signed up for Evo in January and been loving it ever since. I’ve always kept fit and been to gyms, but never really knew what I was doing and progress was limited. Evo is run by trainers who give the sessions proper structure, and offer loads of advice. It’s also very friendly and sociable so a good laugh too. Best keep-fit experience I’ve ever had!

Fantastic experience: The fitness fix you never knew was missing. A million times better than a traditional gym or classes - you work harder in your sessions, with supervision and guidance from the brilliant trainers and there’s a proper community feel. The trial is well worth it to get a feel for what Evo is all about, then you’ll soon see such good results it’ll be difficult not to continue

Fantastic experience: I joined a few months ago as someone who hates the gym and had very little experience of lifting weights. Now, I actually look forward to the classes as the coaches and the rest of the people who go are so friendly and helpful! I have never felt stronger and would recommend anyone to give it a go!

Fantastic experience: A thoroughly enjoyable experience so far. All the trainers are very knowledgeable, friendly and patient when you are new to big lifts. Evo is a great way to safely and effectively start lifting weights, if like me, you've always avoided the free weights part of the gym for fear of making a fool of yourself! The classes are well structured both in content and how they're delivered throughout the week: it really helps take the effort out of ensuring you're hitting every muscle group. Exercise aside - Evo is very sociable, and I can't think back to a time when I have had so many laughs. G

Fantastic experience: Great place to start lifting! The trainers are super nice and attentive, they take time to explain the routines and give advice on the correct practice. Really good atmosphere overall and no awkwardness like in a regular gym. Very pleased I joined! :)

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Evo. The trainers are great and the atmosphere is really friendly. The style of training is exactly what I enjoy, a mixture of circuits and weight lifting and I’ve certainly noticed a difference in my body. I have achieved my goal of feeling stronger thanks to the support and guidance of the whole team. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Evo is absolutely amazing! I started with the trial & afterwards signed up to Evo Lift & Hive Jiu Jitsu! Within 2 months I'd dropped 2 dress sizes! I love the Evo Lift sessions as they are really supportive & help guide you through weight training, especially if you're new to it all. Once I became comfortable with the weights, the coaches are really awesome at pushing you out of your comfort zone, to the point where you actually see results! Above all, everyone is super friendly, fun and supportive - I actually look forward to the sessions - I can't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: This place is a cut above regular gym workouts. I never thought I could be a physically strong person until I joined Evo - I now feel stronger than I have ever been and it's a great feeling. The coaches are ace and pay attention to each person's development, the members and atmosphere are fun and supportive and you train hard. The tunes are pretty good too!

Fantastic experience: I have been a trial member of Evo for just 3 weeks. I started as I had got into a bit of a rut in terms of overall energy, fitness and mental wellbeing. I can say that during my first few weeks I feel like I have more energy, less stress and I am suprised at how light my home weights feel now!! The guys are all brilliant and full of knowledge and can offer you nutrition advice as well as tips that are specific to your goals. The sessions have a very welcoming feel to them and it feels much more rewarding than spending an hour in the gym! Already signed up for full membership!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Evo! I joined around 3 months ago now and it’s been the best thing ever! You don’t need to prebook sessions, the coaches are brilliant and the timings fit around my busy schedule at work. The people you meet are amazing and it’s such a good atmosphere to train in. I can’t recommend it enough and would never go anywhere else now. Join Evo, you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Evo Camp is one of the best personal and group training I have ever been to. There are such a variety of classes and group session available and you couldn't ask for better trainers. I have been coming to Evo for around 4 years now and still find the sessions different every week and have met some lovely people along the way. The Evo group sessions anyone can enjoy from all different abilities. I highly recommend EVO. Big thanks for Josh, Jake, Simon, Mason and Ash! :)

Fantastic experience: Just started a trial at evo didsbury, and for someone who pretty much avoids regular gyms at all costs I feel motivated and encouraged to go to sessions and improve my strength and fitness. The lift sessions are fun and the camp sessions are hard but rewarding. Sessions don't feel like a chore and the coaches are motivational, friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be continuing after my trail is over.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great training. Everybody makes you feel welcome and support each other. The skilled coaches make the training fun and suitable for any levels of fitness. I highly recommend joining Evo.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Evo Camp for four years, which is all the recommendation you need. Helped me get a six-pack, transformed my fitness and is full of friendly people: nothing like a normal gym. Loads of sessions a week so you can pick and choose them to fit your lifestyle. Trainers know their stuff but aren't intimidating. If you live near or in the Didsbury area, I can't recommend it enough.
