I had an excellent experience dropping into Evolve Fitness while visiting Philly—not just once, but twice! I first stopped in to take on CrossFit Open 25.3, and the energy, coaching, and overall vibe were absolutely top-tier. I enjoyed it so much that I returned for their Saturday morning class, which was just as awesome.

A huge shoutout to Head Coach Luis Salazar, hands-down one of the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure of training with. He brings a perfect mix of technical expertise, motivation, and community-building that makes every athlete—whether a regular or a drop-in—feel welcome and challenged. His coaching during 25.3 was spot-on, ensuring we pushed ourselves while maintaining proper form. And the Saturday class? Just as well-run, with a great workout and an even better group of people.

The community at Evolve is second to none—friendly, supportive, and genuinely passionate about fitness. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and organized, making it a fantastic place to train whether you’re looking to hit a PR, grind through an Open workout, or just get in a solid session.

If you’re in Philly and looking for a gym that feels like home, Evolve Fitness is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Thanks again to Luis and the Evolve crew (Fairlane, Nick, Maddie), for such a...

I can't say enough about Evolve. Nik Hecht, and his team of coaches are highly-skilled experts in all aspects of fitness. They are also some of the kindest and most encouraging people you'll ever meet. It is a very warm and family-like environment at Evolve that welcomes all ages and experience-levels.

The classes are incredibly effective (AND HARD). You can learn so much and notice gains very quickly...all you have to do is show up and be willing to work! The classes are also pretty small, so you can get a very good amount of attention from the coaches, who are accessible and eager to help you find the weight/movement that is best for you.

The space is just incredible. Huge warehouse with racks, rigs, BB's, DB's, ergs, pads, boxes, AND machines! (The space was formerly Fearless Atheltics, but the set up is now way better).

My personal experience is that I worked out in regular gyms for over ten years, but after starting classes at Evolve (formerly Fortitude), I will never go back to that. I find that I just get so much more out of the time and effort put in at a place like this -- not to mention it's a lively, fun, social environment. I'm 34, in the best shape of my life, and have made new friends here. For the money you pay, it's the best value...
