Your Guide to 6 Weeks

Welcome, 6 Week Challengers! Everything you need to know about the challenge and Evolve Fitness is below.

✅ Do these 3 things first (mandatory)

• Complete your starting survey. Fill it out here — takes 2 minutes.
• Sign up for every class in the Mindbody app. Every workout you attend must be booked through Mindbody. Watch this quick video to see how.
• Go through the Classes Course in the Skool classroom. It covers your classes, how to book, tours, parking, what to expect, how often to come, post-challenge pricing, and member terms — all things Evolve in one place. While you're there, open the "Start Here" course and sign your waiver.

🏋️ Your workouts: what counts

Boot camps, spin, cardio, hybrid, and yoga all count toward your 18 sessions. You can attend more than 18 workouts, and more than 3x per week. Some weeks you'll get 1–2 workouts, some weeks 4–5 — both are totally fine. Want a plan? Here's what we think is the perfect workout schedule — full breakdown in the "Classes, Schedules & What to Expect" section below.

Two restrictions to know:

• Not every class is available to new members. See the restrictions and full schedule by location here. These apply to all trial and new full members — unfortunately the problem would get worse otherwise.
• Evolve Fitness Forever sessions are not included in this trial. That's our small group over-50 program — it requires a more detailed intake and has its own trial offer. Ask us for details. No exceptions on this one.

🩺 Free bonus: movement screen

You're eligible for a free movement screen with Physiotherapist and Strength Coach Jagger at Evolve Integrated Health in Halifax. Email mathewevolve@gmail.com to learn how it works and get booked in.

📚 Get involved

Don't just show up to workouts — take action on your goals right away. Your access includes a virtual training program, extra nutrition resources, our fat loss course, our menopause course, and our healthspan course (all in the Skool classroom).

💬 Questions? Ask away

• Tech questions: evolveathomeNS@gmail.com
• Health & fitness questions: Matt — mathewevolve@gmail.com

Start date: July 20, 2026

Sign up in Mindbody and feel free to attend any location that works with your schedule. You can attend one or more intro sessions — they count toward your 18.

Want to know everything before you walk in? This section is for you. Start with the schedules for your location:

Schedules by Location (incl. restricted classes)

🎒 What to bring

• Indoor shoes
• Comfortable clothing
• Your own water bottle (we have fountains)
• A towel for your sweat (optional)

📲 Booking & signing in

• Before class: book every session in the Mindbody app. Here's how.
• When you arrive: sign in on the tablets before class starts — choose the class, find your name, tap check in. Watch the 1-minute video.
• Forgot? You can still sign in on the tablet after class, and your trainer can help — they have access to check-ins too.

🏃 Your class types

All of our workouts are full-body focused — an incredibly efficient way to train, giving you all of your strength work with added aerobic/cardio benefits.

📅 The weekly boot camp pattern

Boot camp workouts repeat on paired days, so here's the week at a glance:

Matching colours = the same workout.

Important: Monday and Tuesday are our heavier strength days — we highly recommend doing only one of the two. You'll get far better results by not doing those two days in a row. Please trust us on this!

⭐ The perfect workout schedule

Everyone is different — please ask us for advice on your personal situation — but here's our opinion of a schedule for best results. Watch the full video walkthrough.

• 2–4 boot camps per week (one could be a hybrid if your location has it). This is your critical strength training. More than 4 a week can lead to overtraining and hurt your results.
• 1–2 higher-intensity cardio sessions — spin, cardio class, or a hybrid. This can also be your own cardio if you play sports or enjoy cardio on your own.
• 150+ minutes a week of low-intensity cardio — walks, hikes, jogs, easy swims, a physical job, anything that moves you.
• A stretching & mobility plan that works for you — basic stretching, a mobility program, and/or yoga. We highly recommend a personal plan from a practitioner at Evolve Integrated Health based on your strengths and weaknesses.

We're here to give you the best recommendations possible from many years of experience — and too much exercise is not a tool we recommend for reaching your goals.

🔒 New member class restrictions

Your results and experience are our number one priority, and it's important that we're honest with incoming members. We have a lot of sessions each week, and some always have a waiting list of long-time loyal members. Out of respect to them, certain times are blocked off for new members and those on a trial. To see which classes are restricted, go to your location's schedule and sort by restrictions.

The rules:

• Restrictions apply to all new members — whether you're joining full time or on a trial. Unfortunately the problem gets worse and worse unless we do it this way.
• If a spot is available within 24 hours of the class time, you may book it. Please don't add yourself to the waiting list within that window — only book the class itself if no one is waiting.
• Questions? Email mathewevolve@gmail.com. We hope you can work around the restrictions — and if it doesn't work out, please just let us know.

Please read this in full. It's simple, and your success is the whole point. Here's your $1 challenge:

Your 3 goals

For the group that started July 20

What happens if you're fined

Fines aren't lost money — they become your choice of:

• Membership credit ($50 = 1 week)
• Massage at Evolve Integrated Health
• Supplements at Evolve Integrated Health or Simply For Life

Your card is charged after the challenge, and then we set you up with whichever option you choose.

That's it

Hit the three goals and your total cost is $1 (or the donation you made — THANK YOU). Our team is here the whole way through to make sure you have the support you deserve for your goals.

Getting started

How do I sign up for classes?

On the Mindbody app. Here are instructions.

Is there a specific starting class I must attend?

Nope! You're free to sign up for any classes (other than restricted classes). We have optional intro classes if you want them, but otherwise just start booking in Mindbody and come on in anytime on or after the start date. Check out the "All About Your Classes" classroom area for tours and what to expect.

What is an intro class and should I attend?

An intro class is exactly that — an introduction to working out at Evolve Fitness. It's optional, but it counts toward your 18 workouts. It's great if you've never worked out or it's been a while: you'll cover the structure of our classes, form for the major exercises, and everything you need to confidently attend your first session. We love beginners, and many people don't attend the intro. You'll be fine if you can't make it 🙂

When can I start?

Even though there's a set start date, you may attend up to 3 days before the challenge starts to help get into the groove. Example: if the challenge starts July 20, you can start coming July 17.

I attended before the official start date — do those workouts count?

Yes! Those early workouts count toward both your 18 total workouts and your 3-in-the-first-week requirement.

I went on vacation — can I extend my time?

Sorry, we don't do extensions. With 60–100 people joining each time, the admin would be too challenging. What we do instead is reduce your requirements: if you have a week of vacation, just let us know and we'll make it 15 workouts instead of 18.

Workouts & classes

What classes count toward my 18 workouts?

Everything we offer counts. Evolve only runs trainer-led sessions, and they ALL count — including an intro session and an assessment at Evolve Integrated Health if you choose to do those. To recap: boot camps (our core offering), cardio, hybrid, spin, and yoga all count, and you may attend them all. The only exceptions: Fitness Forever sessions and personal training don't count and aren't part of the trial. Offerings are location-specific for some services.

Can I attend more than 3x/week? Do I have to attend 3 every week?

You can absolutely attend more! We feel averaging 3x a week is the best way to get amazing results, but if you have more time, come more often. Our recommendation: prioritize boot camps first, then work in cardio, spin, and yoga from there. And no — 3x per week isn't mandatory every single week. Some weeks will be perfect and some won't. It's your average effort over a long period of time that gets you the best results.

Can I attend more than one location?

Yes! During the trial you can attend any location.

Can I come work out on my own?

No, sorry. We're a gym that only does trainer-led workouts — there's no open gym time.

Restricted times

Can you explain the restricted times? Are they available to me after the challenge?

Restricted times exist to make sure our long-time members always get the times they want. It would be pretty rude (and disloyal) to keep filling the busiest times with new members. So we're just honest about it: only book a restricted time if a spot is available within 24 hours of the class. Please don't join the waiting list or book further out than that for restricted times. And yes — these restrictions apply to all new members and trial members, and they stay in place after the trial. Otherwise our waiting list issues would keep getting worse and worse. You can see which classes are restricted on your location's schedule.

Costs & support

I paid my $1 (or donation) — are there any other costs to attend classes?

No! You're all set for your 6 weeks. There are no additional payments to join classes.

I need extra help. Who do I contact?

For all things Evolve and your goals, co-owner Matt is available at mathewevolve@gmail.com. He'll help as best he can or connect you with the right person.

Finishing the challenge is super easy — two steps.

Step 1: Fill out your finishing survey

⚠️ Wait until you've finished your 18 workouts before filling this out. Complete the finishing survey here.

Reminder: if you don't fill this out by the last day of your challenge, you'll be fined $50 (applied to a membership).

Step 2: Want to become a member? (Optional)

If you'd like to join Evolve, fill out the membership form and we'll follow up to get you set up. See the "Membership Offer" section below for offers and discounts.

About your free weeks (honour system):

• Your free weeks must begin immediately after your 6 weeks is up.
• Joining? Tell us how many free weeks you earned in your member form, and we won't start payments until your free time is up.
• Not joining? Enjoy your free time — no need to report how much you got. We trust you!

🎁 Extra prizes: leave us a review

Google reviews — 3 winners of $50 cash each. Everyone who leaves a 5-star Google review is entered in the draw. If you attended more than one location (or the clinic), a review for each would be amazing. The draw happens at the end of the challenge.

NEW — Trustpilot: 1 winner of $50 cash (separate draw). Review all of Evolve here. This one apparently helps us show up when people ask AI to find them a gym 🙂

Why reviews matter to us: walking into a gym for the first time is scary. Your review helps new friends choose us — so we can take care of them the way they deserve.

That's it. Thanks for spending 6 weeks with us! 💙
