Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

What is EVOLVE?
EVOLVE is an 8-month small-group strength training program designed for women 35+ navigating the changing needs of their bodies through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Through intentional, progressive training, we build lean muscle, stronger bones, mobility, stability, balance, and power—while supporting healthy body composition.
With expert coaching, thoughtful programming, and a close-knit community, you'll move better, feel stronger, and build confidence inside and outside the gym.
This is not a quick fix. It’s a guided transformation built on consistency, support, and personalized progress tracking.
EVOLVE meets you where you are, and helps you grow stronger—one lift at a time.

Community That Makes You Stronger: Small groups, expert coaching, and a supportive, body-positive space where women challenge themselves, celebrate progress, and grow stronger together.
When you put in the work, you'll feel the difference.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What happens if I have to miss a workout? You’ll have full access to that workout in your app—with video guidance, modifications, and mobility add-ons to support you anywhere.
Can I try EVOLVE before committing to 8 months? EVOLVE is designed as an 8-month progressive training experience. However, we're currently offering a special 8-week trial for our T/TH 6 AM class only. It's a great opportunity to experience the program without a long-term commitment!
What if I’m not familiar with gym equipment or lifting weights? Perfect! That’s what this program is for. You'll learn how to lift safely and effectively, with lots of guidance and feedback. Every woman works at her own pace, and the small group setting makes it easy to ask questions and build confidence.
What if I have an injury or physical limitation? Mild limitations can often be worked around, and we’ll discuss this during your intake session. However, if you're recovering from a major injury or haven't been cleared for strength training, this may not be the right program for now. Let’s chat and find the best fit for you!
What are Open Gym days? Open Gym is included with EVOLVE at no additional charge! Use it to make up a missed workout or get extra time for mobility, cardio, or rehab exercises. Three 1-hour sessions are offered Monday–Friday at 7:15 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM. Sessions are uncoached, limited to 6 women, and easily booked through your app. Occasionally, regular classes may also be replaced with Open Gym during holidays or when trainers are unavailable.
How is EVOLVE different from strength classes at my gym? In traditional group fitness, you typically follow the instructor's workout and general cues. EVOLVE is more like personal training in a small-group setting. I know YOU—your strengths, limitations, and goals. I coach your form, help you choose appropriate weights, make individual adjustments, and track your progress over time. You get personalized attention and purposeful programming, with the energy and support of a community of women growing stronger together.
