How It Works

It's simple. Three commitments. Six weeks. Lasting results. Quick wins, consistency, and reflection — the three drivers behind every successful member story.

01

Three In, Fast

Attend 3 workouts by end of day August 23, 2026. Quick wins build the habit — the data is overwhelming on this.

02

Eighteen Total

Attend 18 workouts by end of day September 27, 2026. Come as often as you like — most members hit 3–4×/week.

03

Finish Strong

Complete the finishing survey — under 5 minutes. Reflection plus small adjustments = long-term success.

What You Get
For Your Dollar.

The full Evolve experience — group classes, intro coaching, and an entire community in your corner.

01

All Group Classes

Trainer-led boot camps at every location, plus location-specific cardio, hybrid (cardio + strength), spin and yoga sessions. See full schedules linked above.

02

Group Intro Sessions

Two optional intros to ease you into group fitness and strength training. Truro hosts extra sessions to help new members get comfortable from day one.

03

Member Group + Resources

Access to our private member community, plus our Fat Loss Academy, Menopause course, Healthspan course and ongoing member challenges — use what you want.

04

Discounted 1-on-1s

Want extra support? Book $35 personal training sessions at Evolve Integrated Health. Unlimited bookings available with our Athletic Therapist Liam Toomey.

05

Direct Coach Access

Our coaching team is on call throughout your six weeks. Ask anything — workouts, nutrition, sleep, stress, motivation. We've got your back.

The Commitment

Here's the full breakdown of what you're agreeing to. We use small accountability charges to back up your commitment — but the goal is never to charge you. The goal is to help you finish.

01

Complete Your Starting Form

We'll send this after you join. It helps us understand your goals so we can coach you effectively from day one.

02

3 Workouts by August 23

Miss this and your card is charged $50, which becomes a credit toward more boot camps ($50 = 1 week), massages at Evolve Integrated Health, or supplements at Simply For Life / EIH.

03

18 Workouts by September 27

Boot camps, cardio, hybrid, yoga and spin all count. Come more than 18 if you like — no cap. Miss this and you're charged $200, redeemable the same way as above.

04

Finishing Form by September 27

Helps us make the program better. Miss it and a $50 charge applies — again, fully redeemable as credit.

A NOTE ON CHARGES

If any of the three tasks above are missed, the card on file from your $1 payment will be charged and you choose how to allocate the credit. The point isn't to fine you — it's to give you a real reason to show up. We want you finishing strong, not paying us.

— Optional Charity Component

Give Back
While You
Get Going.

At Evolve, giving back is built in. We donate 100% of all revenue from our no-show policy to local charities and to fund memberships for people who need help. When you join the $1 challenge, you can add an optional donation — every cent goes to charity.

This quarter, we're donating to the community fridges in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and Truro — one for each of our locations. Our Q2 2026 give raised $4,734 for Club Inclusion, and Q1 2026 raised $6,586 for Family SOS. See full details here.

There's zero pressure. You can trust it's going somewhere good.

$48,820+
Raised for local causes since Aug 2025
  • Q2 2026 — Club Inclusion $4,734
  • Q1 2026 — Family SOS $6,586
  • YWCA Gender-Based Violence Program $25,000

Q3 2026 · This Quarter's Cause

Feed The
Community Fridges.

This quarter, we're donating to four amazing community fridge programs — one in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and Truro. These neighbourhood fridges let anyone take what they need or drop off what they can spare. Every dollar of optional donations goes straight to keeping them stocked.

100% of all 6 Weeks for $1 program revenue, all no-show policy revenue, and all donation-only workout revenue is included in our quarterly give.

The Evolve Fitness community

Yes, It's
Really $1.

First things first — we love paying it forward. 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. My basketball coach picked me up every single day for three years before school so I could practice. Our school soccer coach started a summer team when the Truro team folded so we'd have somewhere to play.

We believe deeply in what we do. We wanted to make an offer you couldn't refuse so you'd get in the door and actually get consistent with your goals. You have a lot of fitness options — this is our way of nudging you toward Evolve.

Now, we genuinely think you're going to love it here. You might stay. You might do six weeks and continue on your own. Either way, the win for us is that you tell someone else. Once you crush your goals, your friends will ask how. If we helped, send them our way.

That's it. Now it's on you to commit and take advantage of it.

Questions?

How often will I have to work out?

You'll need to complete 18 workouts in 6 weeks — that averages around 3 per week, but you can come more if you want. All workouts are in person. Most members come 3–4 times a week. If life happens and one week is lighter, that's fine — only the 18 total matters.

What if these dates don't work for me?

We run new cohorts throughout the year. Join our waiting list and we'll email you the moment the next $1 Challenge dates go live — no need to check back. Already on the list? You're set. We'll be in touch for the next round, no action needed.

Is this a crash diet?

Absolutely not. This is a program to get you into the workout groove. We have nutrition resources available — based on your goals — including our free Fat Loss Academy and muscle/strength-building nutrition guides. You'll get full access to our member site when you join.

Where are the Evolve Fitness locations?

Halifax — 220-3667 Strawberry Hill (large location: 3 boot camp rooms + cardio/yoga room). Bedford — 115 Western Parkway (one room, boot camp). Dartmouth — 112 Woodlawn Drive (boot camps + spin). Truro — 136 Esplanade St. (one room, boot camp).

What can I expect in 6 weeks?

It depends on your starting point, but expect to get stronger, gain energy, improve your mobility, and feel fully in an exercise routine by the end. If you have a fat loss or muscle building goal, you can see strong initial progress and build serious momentum for long-term success. Ask us about your specific situation.

What happens after the 6 weeks?

The choice is yours. You can continue with our full year-round schedule, or you can take what you've learned to your local gym or even home. Many members stay because the community and coaching becomes a part of their week — but there's no obligation.

What makes Evolve different?

This isn't "here's what to do — go do it." That's not coaching. We help you find what works for you, not your neighbor. We'll support you in all areas — workouts, nutrition, sleep, stress, life — because we want you happy and healthy, not just sore.

I got sick or injured — what happens?

We're reasonable. We don't extend the program window, but we will adjust the workout requirements so you can finish successfully if you're genuinely sick or injured. Note: if you join knowing you have a vacation booked, we won't be making adjustments for that — please read the dates carefully before signing up.
