My experience with this personal training program and gym has been excellent. Chris did a very thorough intake, and my trainer Ila has impressed me with her knowledge of the human body and how the muscles work together. I have only been training with Ila for a month, but I am already starting to see real changes after years of getting nowhere with several other methods.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Teodora Burgazlieva6 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Teodora has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I started working out with Ila at the beginning of September, and in just six weeks, I’ve already gained 2 pounds of muscle mass and lost 2 pounds of body fat! All of this with just two one-hour workouts per week, following Ila’s nutrition plan, and staying consistent without missing a single session.
But what I love most about training with Ila goes far beyond the numbers. Every workout is different, fun, and challenging, yet somehow, I wake up the next morning feeling energized and ready to play, run, and keep up with my 8-year-old twins! In just a month and a half, I feel noticeably stronger, more balanced, and full of energy.
Ila is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and genuinely fun to be around. She knows exactly how to challenge me while making every session enjoyable. I absolutely love her personality and always look forward to our workouts!
Thank you so much, Ila, for everything you’ve done for me so far! I’m so grateful for your guidance and encouragement, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together in the months ahead! ❤️

Rachel Smith2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Rachel has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I have been working Ila since May 2026 and it’s been a wonderful experience. Ila is very personable and makes the experience tailored to you and your lifestyle while also pushing you to do your best. Ila’s workouts never feel repetitive to me so I show up to the gym wondering what we will be doing today. Ila utilizes mat exercises, machines, and weight exercises to ensure your full body is worked. Ila will also set your macro goals and your daily calories which makes it a breeze to track your food in the app. Ila is great and she pushes me in ways I never thought were possible. Ila gave me the tools to go home and be successful, your accountability cannot just come from her, it has to come from you too and with the tools she provides it makes it easy. Highly recommend Ila and Chris Protein Personal Training Overall!

Maria Carter4 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Maria has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Caroline at Evolve Fitness has been such a gift as a personal trainer. She meets me exactly where I am, builds strength and functional fitness work that fits my real life and my goals. As a mom with a business and 3 teens, Caroline always makes the growth days feel encouraging. I've increased strength, stability, energy levels, and composition numbers at a healthy pace working together. Workouts are a consistent part of my routine I have come to enjoy. She's knowledgeable, steady, and genuinely invested in how I feel — not just the numbers on a chart. If you're looking for a trainer who will support, challenge you and cheer you on with a calm confidence in equal measure, she's the one. Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jayla Pippen1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Jayla has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I had such a great experience at Evolve! I only planned to work with a trainer for a month to get back into strength training, and Caroline was amazing. She tailored every workout to my goals while also teaching me exercises I’d feel confident doing on my own at another gym after our sessions ended. Even after a month, I feel significantly stronger and so much more confident in the gym!
Chris was also great to work with and he made the onboarding process easy and took time to understand my goals from the start. Both Chris and Caroline were wonderful to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Thanks so much, Jayla! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed working with your personal trainer, Caroline, and that you feel more confident and stronger 😊 I’m glad the onboarding process was smooth and we appreciate your awesome review!!

I have been working with Caroline for two months and in such a short time I’ve seen so much progress! My BMI decreased from 20 to 17, I put on a pound and a half of muscle AND lost 5 pounds total! I started working with Caroline to get ready for my wedding and specifically to grow my glutes and slim down, and that is exactly what we’ve accomplished! Caroline has a great energy and it’s fantastic what she does. She’s become a great friend at this point to me. I look forward to our sessions so much ❤️

Katherine KolanderLocal Guide · 19 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Katherine has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I am so happy to be a member of this well-organized, communicative, CLEAN, tidy, personal training gym that is spacious enough for the number of attendees at any given time.
I have been training with Ila since April 13, 2026 and already feel like a million bucks.
On my first day, Ila listened attentively to my goals, limitations, and past strength training experience and created a program tailored specifically to my needs.
During each session, Ila briefly demonstrates and explains the purpose of each exercise as it relates to the goals we set. She’s an expert at what she does and intuitively knows just how much weight is needed to ensure I am successfully challenged.
Bonus: Ila keeps conversation to a minimum so that our workouts are the main focus. She explains things well, pays attention to form and gently corrects when needed. We engage in light, friendly conversations during the minute or two water breaks between sets which makes the workouts fun and go by fast. Ila is witty, has a great sense of humor, and is compassionate, respectful, and kind.
Evolve Personal Fitness is the first gym I’ve worked out in during the past five years that is 100% professional.
As for the other trainers there, they too are focused on their clients and do not become distracted when other clients and their trainers are in the same space. Clients and trainers alike are there to work and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
KUDOS to Chris Protein for hiring the best trainers and creating a welcoming, non-intimidating space for clients to become the best version of themselves.
Feeling grateful!
