I tried the gym out via class pass and ended up joining. It has a good amount of equipment, great classes and even better people.

I love evolve! I started off with personal training with Melissa. She is absolutely wonderful and tailors your work outs to your specific needs. She also helped me with plans to stay accountable because I was struggling with creating a routine. She really cares about her clients and it shows. She helped me feel confident in my form and abilities, so I recently transitioned to the group class membership and they are so much fun!

Liz is the best personal trainer in Buffalo! The gym itself is welcoming, so clean & filled with all sorts of equipment. Liz has created a safe space for everyone to come and improve their lifestyle. Liz is an attentive trainer & always offering helpful corrections when your form is slipping! We love every session with Liz, and she has made us feel comfortable since day 1. LCPT is the best place to get a great workout in!

I’ve been going to Evolve since fall ‘22. I’ve done personal training, monthly memberships, class passes, pop up events, and open gym. Evolve is incredibly flexible and supportive at its core. I never felt pressured to stick with personal training or judged for taking time away to bike and play volleyball. In fact, class instructors connected me with others who bike and incorporated exercises specific for volleyball into trainings. Evolve truly lives out its values of well rounded health. Instructors don’t bring up calories or “earning” your food or how to snatch your waistline. I’ve felt incredibly supported as a larger bodied person in all the classes and interactions I’ve had. Especially when modifications are given without implicit judgment. Liz and now Melissa have developed an insanely supportive culture that I keep going back to. It’s a really nice environment.

I have been attending evolve workout classes , person training and open gym for 4 years now and I couldn’t love it more! I love what Melissa has done for evolve , it’s more than just a gym it’s a community for all! I always feel so comfortable working out there and that is huge for me! Melissa has helped me with my strength and mobility and I couldn’t be more thankful! I started my workout journey here towards the end of Covid and I plan on staying forever !

I joined this gym six months ago after moving to Buffalo, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The trainers here are incredibly accommodating and inclusive, making sure that everyone—regardless of experience or fitness level—feels welcome and supported. They take the time to personalize workouts and genuinely care about your progress. Beyond the workouts, the sense of community here is amazing. I’ve made so many friends since joining, and it’s become more than just a place to exercise—it’s a place where I feel motivated, encouraged, and part of something bigger. If you’re looking for a gym that’s supportive, friendly, and professional, this is the place to be!

I attended my first class at Evolve on 07/31/2025, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. The workout was challenging and energizing, and I walked out feeling both accomplished and motivated. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming—staff and members alike are friendly and supportive, making it easy to feel right at home. If you’re looking to better yourself and make real progress on your fitness journey, I highly recommend giving Evolve a try.

Love this gym! It’s small but has everything you need, and the classes are awesome. The instructors actually care and make sure you’re doing things right, which makes a huge difference. The vibe is super welcoming, and it never feels overcrowded. If you’re looking for a place where you actually enjoy working out and feel part of a community, this is it. Couldn’t recommend this gym enough! (Picture includes snow because is it even Buffalo if there’s not at least a little bit of snow?)

I’ve been going to Evolve for a little under a year now and I cannot rave about it enough!!! It’s such a small little gym but has everything you could need. It’s a mostly free weight gym, but you can do everything you need to still! Every staff member makes you feel welcome as you walk through the doors - they all learn and remember your name and greet you with positivity and a smile as soon as you walk through the doors. They’re also all super flexible when it comes to personal training sessions and have classes at all different hours of the day to fit your schedule!

Our firm worked with Melissa and Evolve Buffalo to put together a fitness event over the summer. Melissa exceeded expectations when it came to professionalism, positive energy, and providing us with a great class experience. I would highly recommend her gym, her classes, and hosting abilities!
