"Where else would I rather be today? Nowhere other than beginning my early morning celebrating my very first day of 'young-at-heart, BIG'… working out at Evolve Fitness-Forever Cardio class with Coach Becky and these lovely Gals (now friends), followed by hitting up Fitness-Forever Boot Camp class with Coach Becky. And of course I needed a selfie with Coach Amy, because we are = 'Strong Women Forever!' Thanks to Amy along the way. I missed seeing Alan otherwise there definitely would be another selfie with him :)
In less than two weeks' time, Melissa & I will be embarking upon a Mother/Daughter hiking trip together as part of a women's only group from Canada to hike the Dolomites of the Italian Alps. With the following week of Melissa & I hiking the Swiss Alps together. I wouldn't even have dreamed this as being possible without your Evolve Fitness-Forever programme. I am bringing my blue Evolve shirt (you see in the pics) with me as I want to be wearing it on our final day up in the Dolomites' Alps. I am so grateful for Evolve and your Fitness-Forever programme, you have no idea. But I hope you do now.
I have never even been across the pond to Europe before. Thank you, Matt. Love 'ya."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you're probably wondering before you book.
I'm a total beginner. Is this really for me?
Yes — this program was built for you. There's no minimum fitness level and no age limit. You start with a 1-on-1 with Dr. Anthony so he knows where you're at, and every exercise can be modified to fit your body.
When does it start, and what days and times?
The next group starts the week of Jan 18. We're finalizing the days and times now — fill out the form to tell us what works for you and we'll let you know as soon as they're set.
Will I get hurt?
This program is built around injury prevention. Dr. Anthony teaches proper form before adding load, shows you how to modify exercises for your body, and progresses you safely from week to week.
How does insurance work?
You pay the $500 upfront when you register. After each session you'll receive a chiropractic receipt to submit to your insurance through your chiropractic benefits. Sessions can't be direct-billed, and coverage varies by plan.
Can I do this program 1-on-1 instead?
Yes. If the group times don't work or you'd rather train on your own, fill out the form and let us know — we'll be in touch to set it up.
What if I miss a session?
Because this is a small group that builds week over week, we're not able to offer make-up sessions. Your at-home weekly program means you can keep moving on days you can't make it in. We recommend choosing a 6-week stretch where you can commit to both weekly sessions.
Is the 3 months of boot camps really free?
Yes — no credit card on file and no automatic renewal. When you complete the program, you get 3 months of Evolve Fitness boot camps ($690 value). This bonus is for people who aren't current Evolve Fitness members.
Feel Confident Walking Into Any Class
The next group starts the week of Jan 18, with only 8 spots. Start with a quick 1-on-1 with Dr. Anthony and he'll take it from there.
