How it works

Three steps. About two minutes.

No sales floor, no tour you have to book before you're allowed to know the price, no contract you need a lawyer for.

STEP 01

Pick your location

Five gyms across Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth and Truro. Choose whichever is easiest to actually get to — or ask about the All Locations membership and use them all.

STEP 02

Start with 6 weeks for $1

Complete 18 workouts in six weeks and your program stays $1. Miss it and you agree to a $200 accountability deposit, which converts to credit toward a membership or massages at Evolve Integrated Health.

Just show up

Everything is programmed and coached. You never walk in wondering what to do, and you are never the only new person in the room.

The offer

Why on earth
would we charge $1?

Transparency, because it's a tad bit selfish on our part.

We'd rather you experience Evolve than read about it. We think you'll crush it, love the room you're in, and tell someone — and that's genuinely the whole business model.

The 18-workout requirement isn't a catch. It's the thing that makes it work. People who show up 18 times in six weeks get results. People who buy a membership and go twice don't.

Mitch and I had coaches growing up who went so far above and beyond for us that we've always tried to be like them. This is our version of that.

— Matt Benvie, President

$1

Six full weeks

Six weeks of trainer-led group classes at your home location, for a single dollar.

18

Workouts keeps it $1

About three a week. Hit 18 and your program stays a dollar. Come more if you want — there's no cap.

$200

Accountability deposit

Don't hit 18 and you agree to a $200 charge, which converts to credit toward a membership or massages at Evolve Integrated Health. It exists to make sure you show up — not to fine you.

Not ready for six weeks?

Email us and we'll build you a custom offer instead.

Giving back

Bigger than a gym

Evolve is built on community, and that means showing up for the one around us. We give to local charities all year long — from our Quarterly Give to seasonal fundraisers — because the stronger our community gets, the stronger everyone in it gets.

YWCA Halifax — $25,000 Adsum for Women & Children — $8,400 Quarterly Give — every quarter

Questions

Everything you're
about to ask

I'm really out of shape. Will I be the worst one there?

No — and it's the single most common thing we hear before someone starts. Every movement in every class is scaled by a coach on the spot. Our members range from teenagers to people in their eighties, and a big share of them hadn't set foot in a gym in years before their first class.

What actually happens in a class?

You arrive, a coach greets you by name and walks you through the workout on the board. Boot camp runs 45 minutes, cardio runs 30. Everything is programmed in advance — you never have to decide what to do or how much weight to use.

What does it cost after the six weeks?

Membership pricing depends on your location and which program you're in — Group Fitness, Fitness Forever, Semi-Private or Parent & Baby. Your coach walks you through the options in week five. No automatic rollover, no pressure.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

The $1 program is six weeks, full stop. After that, memberships are month-to-month. Want something different? Email us and we'll build a custom offer.

Which location should I choose?

Whichever is easiest to actually get to — that's the strongest predictor of whether you'll stick with it. If you move around the province, ask about the All Locations membership.

I'm over 50 / I have a bad knee / I'm pregnant or postpartum.

Tell us before your first class and we'll match you to the right program — usually Fitness Forever for 50+, semi-private if you're working around an injury, or Parent & Baby postpartum. Our coaches modify every day, for everyone.
