Bought a 6-week challenge through Groupon and had amazing results. I not only lost 12 pounds, but I also became stronger. I started to lose fat in areas not only in areas around my back and arms but most importantly my muffin top. Needless to say, Kenny and his team are incredible. Not only was the trainers motivating and yet tough love to push you to your very best, but the other class-takers were also encouraging. A great community of people who treated each other like family to cheer you on! The bootcamps and personalized group training classes are only 30 minutes long, so by the time they kick your butt, the class is over and you don't have time to hate it. Every class is different, but engage every part of your body. Shoutout to Eric for creating that nice booty and showing me exercises that I normally would be afraid of at the gym (i.e. assisted pull-up, barbell squat)! Shoutout to Kenny who was 110% with you throughout the whole process from observing your daily food logs to challenging you as you progress. read more

I've been doing EvolvefitnessNYC's semi-private Rockaway private training (me + max 2 other women) for 2 months. It's been lifechanging, for both my body and my winter blues. Kenny strictly adheres to corona best practices. We work out in a large space and are socially distant. We wear masks and wipe everything down. I feel safe and am so grateful I can exercise without worrying about this. I've never been great at working out and I've learned how to do things I'd only previously watched men do that the gym. In 2 months, I've seen excellent results. I am strong (lifting more weight than I ever thought I could!!) and have lost weight. This is just 2 months in and I'm so excited to see where I'll be in 6. Lastly, Kenny makes these workouts I never thought I could do easy. Somehow, when he's coaching you, you forget the pain of what you're doing. No workout is ever the same and it's always kept interesting. He's got a gift and my body is benefitting from it big time! read more

Kenny and his trainers were the answer to my workout prayers. The boot camps and personalized group training that they offer are fast but super efficient (30 minutes was more than enough!) and always fun! They were also warm and welcoming while simultaneously mastering "kicking your butt". Kenny treats his clients like family. In fact, when I told him that I have chronic pain issues and that would need a lot of modifications he said "No problem. We can always make it work. You are family". And he really has treated me as such. I have been a member to many gyms. I even WORKED at Crunch, and Evolve has been my best experience by far...and they got me in phenomenal shape for my wedding!!! read more

EvolvefitnessNYC - Trainers Near Me - Far Rockaway, New York

I'm just gonna say this. I personally think you should only come to this place if your serious about fitness. The small group class is the best. Kenny takes his time getting to know where you are when it comes to exercising. Are you a beginner, advanced, etc. He really is patience with you and help you try to achieve your fitness goal. As for the boot camp, the trainer there does not play. He does not care if your a beginner, or a pro, he just cares about his job and that's to get you fit, so you better come to work. It's a good class but not for me yet. I'm not there with my fitness game yet. If I ever get there them yes I recommend this place, but if your a beginner I say don't go for the boot camp class, choose something else cause they have plenty different classes. read more

I first visited EvolvefitnessNYC via ClassPass and I signed up for their 6 weeks of unlimited classes starting January 1 2017. It has been a great experience! First of all, the classes are only 30 minutes so they fit in perfectly for even the busiest New Yorker. Their two locations are in Midtown East (50th and Park and 53rd and 2nd) which is convenient to where I work and where I live. They offer classes every day in the mornings and many night classes and if you download the MINDBODY app you can easily schedule classes on your phone. I try to go 2-3 time a week and also supplement with running when possible. I have found that they are tough but personable and keep me accountable. Kenny and Noberto also adjust the exercises to whatever you want to focus on. I feel like I have a personal trainer, especially in the 3-4 person classes at the 50th street location. They truly accept all fitness levels and backgrounds to help you to get stronger and more fit!! 6 weeks ago I could barely complete a 45 second plank and now I am almost up to holding a 2 minute plank. Their classes are short, effective and will get you into shape!! read more

I've been training with Kenny and his team since August 2014. I found them through ClassPass and was immediately hooked (I've even convinced multiple friends to try it out, and they're hooked too). There are two locations in Manhattan - 53 and 2 (inside an after school facility, mostly mid-size group body weight exercises) and 50 and Park (they have their own gym with weights and equipment, and they use the rooftop to hold classes - the gym classes are only 2-3 people, and the rooftop ones are larger). They have three trainers (Kenny, Norberto, and Eric), and they're all fantastic. I pay for unlimited classes monthly and go about 3 times per week, taking both rooftop classes and ones inside the gym. Workouts vary from interval/circuit training using your own body weight (think burpees, squats, pushups, etc.) to using equipment like the rack for squats and the bench press. Eric's currently helping me build muscle and train for an upcoming Tough Mudder, and I couldn't be happier with my progress. He always customizes the workouts, corrects my form when necessary, and gives great advice on nutrition and stretching. Even though the workouts are only 30 minutes, they can kick your ass into shape! Other perks: you can stay for back to back classes if you're feeling up to it and they have an app that makes it convenient and quick to book workouts from your phone. Try it out - first workout is free! - and you won't be disappointed. read more

See all

I have been a member of a variety of gyms but Evolvefitness by far has been the best fit for me. I personally prefer workout classes versus working out alone using machines. I found them on groupon and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I workout with Kenny and Norberto 3 days during the week and with Eric during the weekends. If there are certain parts of your body that you would like to work on, I recommend working out with Eric. But regardless, each of their techniques are geared to help build endurance and strength. Like they say on their website "30 minutes is all you need". And boy is it true! The workouts are tough but you leave feeling motivated and accomplished. It has been about about 6 weeks since I started working out with them and I already feel stronger. I highly recommend giving Evolvefitness a try. It's a no frills gym but the trainers are great and so are the people I've met during my workouts. read more

I found this place through Groupon. I became addicted after the first class. I enjoy my 30 minute workouts three times a week. I've lost several pounds and inches off my body. Kenny and Eddie are GREAT trainers! Try this place out, you won't regret it, all you will lose are lbs! And who doesn't want to lose some?? LOL. read more

I'm hesitant to write this only because I am selfish and want to make sure I can still get into these classes. This is by far my favorite class on Classpass. I always max out my 3x/month. I prefer the 50th street location because they are capped at 3 people which gets you so much personal attention (correcting your form, switching out better weights for you). I've even been lucky enough to be the only one there. Every time Kenny asks if there is anything specific I would like to work on. The 30 minute class is incredibly effective. The class is different every time but generally short segments of burpees, lunges, squats, bicep curls, push ups etc., nothing too complicated. You waste no time in between exercises and really pack a great workout to a short amount of time. I now despise going to hour long classes that don't move along quickly. My first few classes were brutal and I was struggling at the half way point but then you think "hey! Only 15 minutes left...I can do this!" I would never have the discipline to accomplish all that I do in this class alone at the gym. I can definitely feel & see an improvement since I began working out a few months ago. The facilties are both in schools (before/after hours) and aren't fancy by any means but that is not really a concern for me. I've been to luxurious studios and never returned because the work out was crummy. 50th street has showers but no towels, toiletries etc so just skip it. 50th street has a locker room, bring your own lock or keep your stuff in the studio. 53rd doesn't have locks but cubbies in the next room and I've always felt my stuff was safe. Suggestions: be early, bring your own cold water, speak up and get a workout tailored to you, don't expect to shower there, and push it for the full 30 minutes! I can't wait for the rooftop classes once it's warm out! read more

Great workout! I tried Evolve out through ClassPass. It may only be 30 minutes, but it's pretty intense. Class sizes are tiny (mine was 3 people; the one before mine was just 1 person!) so you get individual attention and I got the impression it was very tailored to individual ability. Even in a class of 3, 2 of us were doing one thing and another person specified areas she'd like to work on, so Kenny had her doing a completely separate workout. You definitely fit a lot into those 30 minutes; I was exhausted by the end! It's sort of an Insanity-like workout - jumping jacks, squats, mountain climbers, burpees, weights, etc. I'll be back! read more

I've taken Kenny's 30 min class at the 50th street location a handful of times via classpass. Kenny is great, remembers who I am and my injuries and how and where to push me. There's usually another person there getting trained as well which doesn't make it feel too intimate (which is why I shied away from personal training sessions in the past.) The space is small but packed with equipment, weights etc and I am always sore the following day! Fun fact- the last time I was there he challenged me to pull ups and I did my first pull ups EVER. Now I am feeling very empowered. read more

Adding an update to this-- I have been nearly every week since my last review and I would be lying if i said i have not seen results. Kenny and his team are not only motivating, but they are some of the nicest people. I look forward to coming to the class every week! read more

Such a welcoming group! Great classes done in 30 minutes. This is a bare bones type of place. Just a room, mats, weights, music and a great instructor. But that's all I needed so it works for me. Love it! read more

I went to the Wednesday 6pm Evolve class. I knew it was only 30 minutes long so even if I hated it, it would be over soon. I didn't love this class, but I didn't hate it either. It took place in a space that seems to be a day care during the day. The class was crowded but not packed. The instructor asked who was new and then we jumped right into it. He did not tell us his name or ask what our fitness level is. This kind of annoys me when I go to new classes. The class was 30 min of various exercises such as push ups, planks, weights, crunches etc. Everything was back to back with little break. I didn't feel like I got a ton of attention as far as proper form, but the instructor did help me a few times. His energy level could have been more as I felt he was just going through the motions. I noticed that they do back to back classes right after another so that might have been why he didn't have the same energy as I've seen in other studios. There is no locker room and I do not think there was showers. I recommend this class if you're looking for a quick work out that still gets the job done. read more

Came here through ClassPass recently and boy, did my behind get handed to me in a 30-minute workout. Yes, you get a full body workout in those 30 minutes that will leave you drenched in sweat. It certainly didn't help that I was still feeling it a little bit for my strength training session a few days earlier, but damn, if I ever need a quick, "in and out" workout session, I'm coming here. The building is a little hard to find so I had to call to make sure I was going the right way. (Remember - go through the red doors!) It's in the basement, and it's a small space but you have everything you need. If you like small class sizes or an almost personal training session, this might be for you. Kenny, the trainer is super chill. Personally, my favourite kind of trainer - not overly enthusiastic, motivating in a very chill but upbeat way, and watchful of form. All-round great experience and you get an efficient full body workout. read more

I came here through ClassPass for my first class today (7am) and loved it! I've been a longtime ClassPass member, and I often find the classes to be completely crowded and not personalized. This studio is the opposite. I'm totally out of shape, and Kenny really helped personalize a workout for me. I definitely want more -- whether it's the 6 weeks or longer is yet to be determined :). read more

Found this class through ClassPass. Classes are small giving lots of private attention- like having a personal trainer! Sessions are 30 minutes, but a much better workout than most hour-long classes I've taken. I will definitely be returning! read more

I came here with a Groupon but I also have Classpass so I have been to a lot of top notch studios that I love like Flywheel, Physique 57, Mile High Run Club, etc. And I have to say, this class keeps the pace with them all. Evolve Fitness is a no frills studio but Noberto and Kenny deliver an intense half hour workout. The clientele is a supportive group of mixed fitness levels so it's really a workout for everyone. If you love cardio, I highly recommend this studio. It just goes to prove, you don't need top notch technology, Lululemon or equipment to get an awesome workout in nyc. read more

Kenny and his team are some of the nicest, most motivating instructors I have ever encountered. I have been a member of EvolveFitness for almost 2 years and during that time, I saw a dramatic change in my muscle tone, strength, and overall fitness. I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND this class to everyone, regardless of your current level of physical fitness. I was a novice who had never lifted a weight in my life when I started, but Kenny and his team took the time to train me. I worked out alongside marathon workers and Kenny and his team were able to make the class both doable but challenging for everyone. read more

I've known Kenny for many years. I trust his expertise so much I entrusted his service for my 17 yr old son who is training to become a D-1 pitcher . Kenny and Eric are simply , THE BEST!! You will not find anyone who is more dedicated than these guys. They really care, their mission is clear and they are committed 100%, I hope you are. My sons results are amazing , reverse squats from 125 to 225 in 6 wks,he is doing pull ups with 45 pound dumbbells and too much to list. As a father and a Wellness specialist with 38 years of experience, call them now and get motivated! read more

Love this place! I come here about 2-3 times a week if my schedule allows and it never disappoints. You get the full workout in 30 minutes and most of the time, feel sore the next day. Kenny and Eric are both encouraging and accommodating. read more

I really can't say enough good things about Kenny and Evolve Fitness. I found them through Groupon and was immediately hooked. Kenny does an amazing job at knowing what your fitness goals are helping you achieve them. Not to mention Kenny is the nicest guy ever and after awhile you really feel like you're a family with Evolve. I would recommend this gym to anyone! read more

I came across Evolve Fitness through Groupon and it is a great work out! I have been mostly doing weight training with Eric and he is absolutely the best! He lets you be in control on what type of work out you want (customizes) and not only he is very knowledgeable, he challenges you while still having fun during the work out and makes sure you are seeing the results you want. I have definitely noticing a difference since working out with him (loosing weight and toning up). I actually enjoy working out now :) read more

After reading so many positive reviews regarding this studio, I was shocked by how uninspiring and boring my workout was. We did squats, jumping jacks, squat jumps, planks, and crunches... all exercises that I could have done on my own in my own apartment. We did not utilize any free weights or instruments. The one upside is that the class size was small (5 people) and the instructor was extremely nice. I'll be getting my classpass value elsewhere. read more

I bought a Groupon for multiple Insanity classes at Evolve with a couple of my coworkers. We have tried numerous fitness classes through Groupon and after attending just one of Evolve's classes it is one of my favorites! Evolve is a great 30 minute workout. The class involved cardio as well as weight training. The instructor really pushed everyone and motivated us to not stop. By the end of the class I was exhausted and felt like I had done a full body workout. I would recommend this to class anyone from all different fitness levels. I will definitely be back! read more

I found this class on Class Pass and tried the workout with both brothers and both the 53rd street and 50th street location. Such a great quick, high intensity, all body workout. This is the first class I used up the "3 per studio" rule on class pass and I bummed I can't do it again this month. I may consider the $99 unlimited deal! read more

This class is absolutely amazing! I love it. It's intense- they are definitely not easy on you! All of the instructors I met so far have been wonderful: Shout out to Kenny/Noberto/Eddie/Orlando! They are very personable. Kenny's response time is pretty great- always communicating.I actually just started the class- each class is set to target different body parts and you WILL feel it. Can't wait to finish the 6 weeks & check out the results! read more

Went back and purchased a 6 week pass. I started 3 weeks postpartum. 6 weeks later I had lost weight, got much of my core back & fit into my old jeans. Kenny & the team were extremely encouraging and made me feel better about myself. read more

Evolve fitness is one of my favorite classes I attend on a regular basis on Classpass! Kenny does a great job encouraging everyone in the class to push themselves and he is excellent at multitasking! Usually everyone in the class is at different points of the workout due to people's fitness levels and he challenges even the most skilled people. I always wake up sore the next day and that rarely happens with other classes I go to. Recently I told Kenny I was looking to clean up my nutrition a bit and he sent me a meal plan to follow. Within 4 days, I had already lost 5 pounds!! I would definitely recommend this workout to anyone who is new to fitness and also to people who are very fit as well. read more

Kenny is awesome, not only does he set the tone for great energy but also pushes you for a great work out! I have been working out w/ a big grassroots workout group regularly but was feeling like there were certain things in my work out I was missing or could be doing better. Since going to his classes, I've been able to improve my techniques and improve area's I've wanted to improve! Great workouts and experience! read more

This is the best class I have ever been to. The first time I came here I was so out of shape that I couldn't even go through the entire 30 minute class. Kenny, Norberto and Eric are all amazing trainers. They will listen to what your needs are and create specific routines based on what you would like to improve. In 5 months of training with them I have managed to lose 8 pounds which doesn't sound like a lot but it has made a huge difference as I also gained good lean muscle weight. Don't even think twice about trying a class. You won't regret it! read more

One of my favorite classes on classpass. I always use my 3 classes each cycle. The instructors are motivating and the class flies by! Such a great workout. Highly recommend it! read more
