Some equipment needs to be upgraded though

Source: Google

★ 2

Evolve Fitness presents an adequate but ultimately frustrating experience, largely due to a palpable lack of care and poor management from the owners. While the gym boasts a serviceable selection of equipment, much of it is dated and often out of service. The absence of specific items like a chest-supported row and a 45-degree hyper-extension machine is also a noticeable shortcoming for those with more specialized training needs.
The most significant issue, however, lies in the pervasive lack of gym etiquette, which points directly to the hands-off approach of the ownership. The environment is frequently disorganized, with plates left scattered across the floor or on the wrong racks. It's common to see mismatched weights haphazardly placed together. Furthermore, equipment often goes missing, creating a consistent hassle. Sometimes, it can take 15-20 minutes just to find the tools you need for your workout, a significant waste of time. This general disregard for cleanliness and order makes for a less than ideal training atmosphere and suggests the owners don't really care about the day-to-day member experience.
Compounding these frustrations is a rigid and unhelpful management policy. After five months into my second consecutive year of a paid-in-full annual membership, a request for a refund was denied. This refusal to offer a reasonable solution, especially after investing in multiple yearly commitments, reveals a concerning lack of consideration for member satisfaction and underscores the poorly run nature of the facility.

The gym has come a long way in terms of appearance but they could use an upgrade to their unprofessional staff. This is a local gym that has catered to just that the local crowd. The gym is small the machines are broken a lot of the time and the smell is that of a locker room dudgeon. Zero windows or light down below if you like hot muggy artificial light I guess it a place to work out. The crowd as I said is made up of local territorial people who think they own machines and have zero issue having an extended conversation while people are waiting to use the machines The trainers are there to help I guess the clients? They are not approachable or friendly which leads to a weird uneasy vibe. Overall it’s a gym and for the price it’s not worth it. Update. They will debit your account and tell you you’re in a contract and refuse to let you out if you’re dissatisfied with their service zero apology and zero customer service. Run from this place and they will run your debit card a day early and when you call them they credit you back so they know they are doing it which is illegal. Worst customer service experience all the way around.

I only gave 4 stars because even though the gym is large, it is lacking in a few pieces of equipment and could use more benches and free weights. The gym is one of the few with Saunas as well. The folks working there are super and very friendly. I also like the fact they put out sweat towels for your use. Every morning the place is very clean and in order.
All in all, a good gym! 👍

One of the best gyms I’ve been to, in terms of how much equipment there is and how much space they offer especially since it does not get overly busy. Only negative is the staff can be unprofessional, often times noted to be displaying PDA with their partners (who are not staff). It can be uncomfortable to see staff kissing etc and is a little unprofessional

Serious gym with good equipment for lifters, at least one of just about anything you'd want to use (with the curious exception of a seated press rack). Good crowd and usually comfortably busy but not crowded. I can't speak to the group fitness classes but they sound like they're having a good time.

Really enjoyed visiting this week. It still has a lot of elements from the golds gym days and that's not a bad thing. I'll be interested to see the finished facility once the transition is complete. Nice work, continue to provide that gold's experience with a facelift. Thank you!

I found this gym using my GymPass app. Great gym for the price I pay. Clean lockers, showers, and sauna. The gym floor is always kept tidy and everyone is respectful of one another and their space.

Update: Been going here several times a week for a few months now. Still love it here!

Not a clean facility equipment is consistently broken and needs work. Lighting is incredibly harsh and the general owners are not friendly. desk staff is super kind but the general facility as a whole is very underwhelming for the price. Ask well as a general lack of equipment maintenance

Rude staff. Condescending and snotty. I was staying at the Holiday Inn next door and one of the HI staff had to go over and buy a day pass for me. Instead of taking the money they were rude to the employee and blew her off. Then they went back to their phones. When I called and asked for an explanation they were snotty and got defensive instead of apologizing.Also, management thinks its ok to use the Gold's Gym logo despite it not being one anymore. The owner needs to apologize to the Holiday Inn staff.

It’s alright. A bit pricier than what I think it’s normally worth, but is a decent value for the area. The equipment has seen better days, a lot of people don’t put stuff back and walk around barefoot (gross), the changing rooms are smelly and damp. Their staff dropped the ball on two appointments with no apology.

Went there with a free pass to check it out. Will definitely get a monthly no commitment membership whenever I am in Bangor because i am in school in Boston. The lady at the front (I forgot to ask her name) was so welcoming and helpful in explaining the layout of the facility. Awesome place, highly recommend coming here.

While vacationing in Maine from Florida, I had the pleasure of visiting the facility. The staff were kind, courteous and knowledgeable. I was able to obtain a 7 day pass for a nominal fee and was given all access. Locker rooms and majority of the center was very clean. I would probably remove the boxes of lost and found shoes before the entrance way. Was a pleasure visiting your establishment.

Gave 3 weeks notice to cancel membership before moving 3 hours away. I was made to pay for a whole month's service I'll never be able to use. I can't recommend any place that cares that much about money and so little about the customer service experience.

Fantastic, overall: This gym has more equipment than I could have imagined! The staff is friendly and the other members I have met so far have all been polite. Contrary to my fears, I feel less judged and more welcome here than at the people's gym (you know, the one with the lunk alarm?). The price is definitely right for all the equipment, plus all of the classes that are included AND pool use!

The only real downside I have seen, so far, is that this location is in desperate need of an interior renovation. The equipment is not so old, but when you see the interior, you'll feel like you have been transported back to the 80s! I hope they renovate, but for all the plusses this location has, I can look past the cosmetic flaws of the interior.
