Get in the Best Shape of Your Life

I’d walked past this gym for years before finally deciding to give it a go — and I’m so glad I did. I knew I needed to get back into exercise, but I also knew I’d need support and accountability to stay consistent. I’d never done weight training before and had no idea where to start, but the whole team at Evolution have been incredibly supportive from day one. They’re great at motivating you to push yourself a little further each session, and it’s really satisfying seeing the progress in the numbers. Since starting, I’ve noticed I have more energy and far fewer aches and pains than before. The changes have been physical, but mental too — my whole attitude towards exercise and eating has become much more positive. My only regret is not starting sooner.

Have had such a great experience during my six week intro at EVO. I have done consistent exercise for many years (cycling, yoga etc) but suffered recently with sciatica after a ski injury. I really wanted to build strength whilst rehabbing an injury that was making me miserable. SGPT gave me reassurance in the movements I was making whilst also helping me to keep progressing stamina and load. I historically have hated gyms and found them v dull but the structure of the sessions and the great atmosphere thanks to the trainers and other members is great - you can have a laugh at 6.30am whilst also grimacing as you ski erg! There are also some v inspiring other members I have had the pleasure to meet (9 minute plank Jocelyn! Another lady recovering from major surgery) And the final major positive - my injury is responding well! I have now joined as an ongoing member and look forward to seeing what’s next.

I’ve been training at Evolution for over 8 months—and 6 of those have been with a baby on board! This is my second pregnancy. The first time around, I was honestly too terrified to lift a finger, so I avoided exercise completely (huge mistake!). This time, working out has been an absolute game-changer. The trainers here are incredible at suggesting safe, smart adjustments as your body grows and changes. I always felt appropriately challenged, completely comfortable, and entirely in control of my limits. Thanks to consistent training, I feel incredibly strong and ready to welcome my baby. I also know this strength will give my postpartum recovery a massive head start! If you are pregnant or thinking about starting, don't let fear hold you back. You are capable of so much more than you think, and this team has your back every step of the way! P.S. A fun bonus? Getting high-fives and compliments for lifting weights with a big baby bump is the ultimate confidence booster!

Since I joined Evolution, many years ago , my fatigue, which is a consequence of disability and can be extremely bad and have to take medication for, has improved enormously. Not only I was given a great structure of exercise I needed to do , but felt very much heard about the personal struggles I had with keeping up with consistency of exercise . My disability, which is an autoimmune disease , has a nature of fluctuations, makes it hard for me to plan ahead at times, I don't always know how I will be from one day to another, this uncertainty is difficult at times. Evolution has been so helpful considering this, and the push I get from them is just the right amount, I never feel judged if I can’t manage something that someone else in session can. This is hugely important for me. Since I started, rather shy, I have now taken part in yard games too, bit of competition for those who are up for it. absolutely loved it , was so much fun. Able to lift weights I have never dreamt I could. . But the chief of these attainments is self confidence , as I can transfer it to other parts of life, professional, personal too. And the sense of community, when we all come together, just to enjoy movement, encourage each other, is an absolute joy!

I joined Evolution after my husband gifted me a taster session for my birthday. Before having children, being active was a huge part of who I was — I used to go to the gym 4–5 times a week and loved classes like yoga, aerial and gymnastics. But somewhere between work, motherhood and the general juggle of life, fitness slowly disappeared from my routine. I couldn’t see how I’d realistically make time for the gym again. However somewhere during the 21 day trial and thereafter I got my gym mojo back. I’d never lifted weights this way before or done things like deadlifts, squats or bench presses. Fast forward a few months and I’m stronger, more confident, and genuinely enjoying seeing what my body can do. I don’t have to think. I turn up, follow the programme and can clearly see progress over time. So far I’ve gained 5kg of muscle, lost 1kg of fat, and feel so much stronger. But the biggest difference is how I feel overall: happier, calmer, more focused at work, and less snappy at home. I’ve also met brilliant people and have new friends that I get to work out with! Which is so much fun 😊 I was convinced I didn’t have time for gym and somehow time has grown around my commitments and it isn't a problem! I genuinely look forward to going to the gym to lift and I'm having a lot of fun along the way.

I can’t recommend Evolution enough. After having an operation five and a half months ago, I knew I needed to focus on rebuilding my fitness. I happened to pop in one day and spoke to Rachel, who took the time to explain how everything works and offered me a three-week trial. I’d looked at other gyms, but Evolution stood out straight away—it had everything I was looking for. I’ll admit, I was nervous at first, but the team went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They’re always there to answer questions and offer support, no matter your fitness level. What really sets Evolution apart is their focus on helping you reach your own goals, at your own pace. It’s such an encouraging environment. I’ve now joined and absolutely love it. I’m someone who never used to go to the gym, and now I’m there at least four times a week—that says it all.

I started coming to Evolution about 6 weeks ago - I’ve always been relatively active but have never seen myself commit to a gym/programme like I have since I’ve been a member. I feel like it’s been a complete game changer for me! The coaches are super encouraging and helpful, and the sense of community at the gym is like nowhere else I’ve ever trained. I would highly recommend!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Evolution in Sheen more highly! From the moment I joined, I’ve been made to feel so welcome – the atmosphere is warm, supportive, and genuinely inclusive. Nick’s passion for what he does really shines through the whole team, and it makes every session something to look forward to. I’ve always found gyms can feel quite intimidating or even a bit lonely, but Evolution is completely different. Since joining, I’ve gained not only strength and confidence, but also real friendships, which I’m so grateful for. A special shoutout to my coach Meg – she’s incredibly knowledgeable, always supportive, and brings such a positive, motivating energy to every session. Absolutely love this place! 💛

Been training at Evolution Gym in Sheen and it’s honestly one of the best gyms I’ve been part of. The coaches are top quality—knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve, no matter your level. What really sets it apart though is the community. There’s a great atmosphere every session, everyone supports each other, and it makes training something you actually look forward to. If you’re after a gym with expert coaching and a strong, welcoming community, this is the place.
