They more focus on weights training, not cardio, good for people who wants build their muscles. If you like cardio more, then maybe this is not matching. Cons : those issues I list only for me. This is a small local company, only has one location, so if you don't work near or live close, it's hard to catch up the schedule. The reason I joined the program cuz I got a summer job on the bee cave area, but after summer. It's gonna be very hard to keep going there. I personally don't want to spend too much time on driving. Because the owner idea is doing a small group to help people who want to change their lifestyle, so the price is little bit higher than regular group training. But Definitely cheaper than private training lesson. Overall I liked very much so far. Hope they can have more locations in the future.

I had such a negative experience here that I took the time to write this review. Please read entire…read morereview before deciding to move forward with Chalk or not. I did the 6 week challenge with Chalk. Below is my review for the challenge and the facility. Recommend doing the 6 week challenge? No. Why?: Their In Body Scan. (what they use to measure your body weight) Recommend their facility? Depends. Please read entire review. I did the lose 5% body fat in 6 week challenge. My first weigh in, I weighed 173lbs. Body fat % was 28.5% and muscle mass was 70lbs. Throughout the 6 weeks I definitely got stronger. I was able to do 3 pull ups (woo!) , when I wasn't able to do any prior to the challenge. My endurance and strength had definitely increased. I was very diligent with the diet and didn't miss a workout. The day of my final weigh in, I weighed myself at my gyms In-body scan (the same scan Chalk uses). My results were 163lbs, 21.1% body fat, and 74lbs of muscle mass. I drove straight from the gym to my final weigh in and the Chalk scan measured me as 163lbs (same) but 25.5% body fat and 69lbs of muscle mass. Somehow I had GAINED 4% body fat in 30 minutes and lost muscle mass. What baffles me the most is that it measured that I LOST muscle mass throughout the 6 weeks which even the trainers agreed was untrue. For more clarification, if you lost 5% body fat throughout these 6 weeks, you get your money ($600) back that you put in to the challenge. I feel as if I was straight up gypped. There is no way I lost muscle mass throughout that time. The numbers don't add up and it makes me lose all trust with their facility. The trainers made excuses on the machine on how it depends on how much water you drank and other variables. However, they were not interested in having another weigh in to where the numbers made sense. I am happy with my results and Chalk helped a lot, but I DO NOT TRUST THEM due to their final weigh in and how they handled it. I will not return. If you demand a more competitive workout environment while having a trainer, I recommend Orange Theory Fitness more. In conclusion: Pros: small classes, more attention (depends on what time of the day you go) Pros: easy to follow meal plan if you do the challenge Cons: in body machine Cons: no shower

I also lost a lot of weight (45 lbs.) and she is part of the support system I used to do this. She is open minded and very "panoramic" in how she approaches problems and sees issues for what they are right in front of her rather than relying on any formulaic, rigid approach. I also appreciate that she has the right balance--she is neither too "heebie jeebie" (too New Age-y) but she is not like a military Army sergeant either. She is honest and forthright in her approach and very accepting of where you are. One of the absolute best coaches/personal trainers I've ever worked with and I have worked with several over the years...which is why I still check in with her on a regular basis.

I'm only what, 2 months in with this new little gym. It is a far cry from the massive, corporate…read moreLifeTime Fitness South that I had spent the last 18 month at. I was really looking for more personal, nutrition and data driven results. It's great that your trainer is telling you that you look great and strong, but what do the numbers say? The InBody machine they had there, is here as well. Curious why my trainer at LT never regularly used it in my regime. We met with the owner Chris and he offered us a complimentary workout with one of the trainers to get a feel for the place. That wasn't necessary really. We somewhat knew what we looking for and Evolve seem to have all the stuff we really needed, without the pretentiousness. My treadmill was there, they have heavy stuff to pick up and throw around. Machines for all kinds of stuff. A massive half tire thing, that actually looks dangerous to me. :) Chris's interview with us was personal and direct. I liked that as well. He took his time, listened and asked for our availability and when to start the first complimentary session and we discussed the packages available. This was a wow moment. A 6 month commitment meant that our PT hour was $79.99, no monthly gym fee and I could come and go as I please. Jaw drop. We were paying $150 an hour, plus a monthly gym fee 3x's a week. Although to be fair, I had recently moved to a Medicare Membership at LT so no gym fee, but restricted hours. Ok, interest was peaked. I went to my first session with Celeste. We spent the entire hour working on my balance and stretching. I was like, ok no weights? I regretted that thought when I got home a few hours later when my muscles had some aching, a signal that something good was happening that worked. Her style was to get me in touch with my core and she was surprised, as was I, why my past trainer experience didn't touch on that. Using my own stomach kettle bell or medicine ball as "The Weight" makes sense. I have used very little physical weight these past two months. I am doing a lot of Yoga it seems when I train with her. Mandatory stretching before working out, in addition to me getting on the treadmill before we start. The Yoga is teaching me to be in touch with my body and muscles, I like that as well. Celeste may be younger, but she has knowledge and experience which is what matters to me. She is now taking a keen interest in our diet. We are looking at recipes and dietary concerns. She cautioned me on my style, which was 1670 cals a day and reminded me that slow and easy wins this race. Again, good logic. Most important she has a laugh with me while I clumsy work my way through the gym like a drunken Shrek at a rave. Nice reassuring smile and very quiet speaking so I have to pay attention more. Communication. The owner is there often and when he sees me, he always checks in with me and asks how I am doing. I get reminders on the gyms personal app and text's from Celeste checking in on me. A very important app is the InBody app. I can already see the improvement in my body, which is a total motivator. Such a simple thing and a great, honest feedback tool. It feels good to support a local business and not a corporate conglomerate as well. Let's keep on keeping on!
