In a world where people love to argue and disagree, myself and the 149 people who wrote before me can all agree on one thing… Evolve is a 5 star gym. Considering how much John Cena is on the speakers, I’d give it 6 stars if that was possible.
Best gym & community there is!

I’m not a Philadelphia resident, but I am an Evolve member religiously almost every weekend & that was the best decision I made 2.5 years ago. The friends I’ve gained, the fun I’ve had, the memories I’ve made just keep continuing. This place will give you it all; a grueling workout, a positive attitude, and a community that encourages. Get there and see for yourself.

The best gym in Philadelphia without a doubt. Great workout classes and the best staff in the business. My wife and I started going to Evolve in June of this year and with the help of the coaching staff and the classes we have completed our first 5K and Hyrox Simulation in just 5 months. This gym is perfect for those who are looking to compete in athletic competitions and also for those who are just looking for a way to get in shape and build a community. Evolve has been a life changer for me and I hope many others in the city get to experience this gym and their wonderful staff.

Drove down to Philly from the Jersey Shore for a Hyrox Simulation competition. I wish I didn’t live over an hour away because I totally loved both the competition and the gym. The staff is incredibly motivating and encouraging and the vibes in the gym are top notch! Definitely will be coming back for the next competition!

It’s a fresh way of exercising if conventional lifting and cardio are getting stale, but the real reason it’s a 5 star gym is the people. The coaches and members at Evolve have been nothing but friendly, supportive, and welcoming from day 1. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the neighborhood and looking for something new.

Evolve Fitness in downtown Philly is an awesome CrossFit gym! From the moment I walked in, the team was welcoming and helpful, making me feel comfortable right away. The workout and class times fit perfectly into my schedule, and the programming works for all fitness levels, so everyone can jump in and feel challenged. The coaching was exceptional — they gave me great pointers to improve my form and push myself safely. I left feeling energized and motivated. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and high-quality fitness community!

Evolve opened up it's doors to me and made me fall in love with CrossFit. I'll never forget the day I walked into it's doors and I was beyond nervous to try a new workout since I was doing functional training for 5+ years. Luis greeted me right away and I immediately fell in love with CrossFit and the coaches. The community is unmatched, the coaches are next level - they will spend extra time with you after class to work on your goals or help you with form. I've since moved to the suburbs but still travel in to pay a visit to my favorite gym in the city.
Also, they have a sauna AND a cold plunge. You CANNOT beat that!!!

From the moment you walk in, Luis makes you feel like you belong, whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned athlete. His energy is infectious, his knowledge is unmatched, and his coaching style is the perfect balance of motivation and support. He truly meets you where you are and pushes you to be your best, all while making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and part of something special.
I’d follow Luis anywhere—his expertise, warmth, and passion for fitness are what make Evolve Fitness stand out. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged, supported, and genuinely cared for, this is it. Highly recommend!

Great facilities and location and even greater people. I really appreciate that the coaches take the time to demo each exercise from the simplest warm up to the most complex of movements. The coaches are also super knowledgeable and provide plenty of different scaling options so each individual person will get the intended effect of the workout even if we’re new and inexperienced. They are also motivating and encouraging in a positive way. This a very welcoming community and no matter your background you will find your tribe here.

Evolve PHL is hands down the best gym in Philly, and it's all thanks to Nik, the owner and mastermind behind it. I've trained at the highest level for most of my life, and I can confidently say that Nik is the best in the business. His expertise, passion, and commitment to his clients are unmatched.
When I first started working with Nik, I had been dealing with shoulder issues for my entire adult life--something that constantly held me back in both training and everyday movement. Enter his Bulletproof program, and everything changed. The way he approaches strength, mobility, and injury prevention is next level. Not only did my shoulders finally start feeling strong and stable, but I was able to train harder, recover faster, and perform better than ever before.
Nik played a huge role in my training leading up to the Olympics, and I truly can't thank him enough.
Whether you're an elite athlete or just looking to move and feel better, Evolve PHL is the place to be. The energy, the community, and the expertise here are unparalleled.
If you're serious about training the right way, this is where you need to be.

I had an excellent experience dropping into Evolve Fitness while visiting Philly—not just once, but twice! I first stopped in to take on CrossFit Open 25.3, and the energy, coaching, and overall vibe were absolutely top-tier. I enjoyed it so much that I returned for their Saturday morning class, which was just as awesome.
A huge shoutout to Head Coach Luis Salazar, hands-down one of the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure of training with. He brings a perfect mix of technical expertise, motivation, and community-building that makes every athlete—whether a regular or a drop-in—feel welcome and challenged. His coaching during 25.3 was spot-on, ensuring we pushed ourselves while maintaining proper form. And the Saturday class? Just as well-run, with a great workout and an even better group of people.
The community at Evolve is second to none—friendly, supportive, and genuinely passionate about fitness. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and organized, making it a fantastic place to train whether you’re looking to hit a PR, grind through an Open workout, or just get in a solid session.
If you’re in Philly and looking for a gym that feels like home, Evolve Fitness is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Thanks again to Luis and the Evolve crew (Fairlane, Nick, Maddie), for such a great experience!

This gym is wonderful! The best CrossFit gym I’ve tried in Philly (and I’ve tried a LOT of them!).
The staff are all incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, helpful and warm! The first time I walked up to the gym I had several coaches and gym members approach me to say hello and make friendly conversation welcoming me to the gym. The gym itself is also very big and has a lot of nice equipment.
The workout programming itself is also exceptional here. The coaches were very up to date and educated on all said information and material and were very active in making sure everyone’s form was appropriate during the workouts and were very thorough in explaining the movements and other possible accommodations.
Everyone here is also JACKED (quite literally!!) which just proves that what they do works! Over all a very happy, wonderful bunch of people! :)

Having a great experience at this gym! Evolve adopted me after my last gym closed its doors late last year, and I’ve been very happy with the surrogacy. Evolve is more organized, offers more classes, has better equipment and the coaches are attentive and truly there to help on your fitness goals. With the programming and structure, Evolve offers a variety of activities each month and on all levels of fitness and focuses on relaxed interpersonal relationships. There are similar gyms in the area, but I find Evolve to be the most comfortable fit; not militant, more encouraging and more goal-based.

And I can't forget my fellow gym athletes as well!!! You are all amazing and I can't thank you enough for bringing out the best in me! I recommend this gym and it's program for anyone who wants a happier and healthier life, and a beautiful reflection from the mirror!

My husband and I were traveling through Philly for a few weeks and were lucky enough to find Evolve. The BEST gym we have ever been to. The programming is incredible. The coaches are fantastic, very thorough and encouraging. The facility is fully equipped, clean and organized. Very grateful we found Evolve Fitness. I can't recommend this place enough! We miss it so much.

Evolve introduced me to CrossFit movements although it was tough at first, the community’s enthusiasm and acceptance helped me push through. Now, every day is a thrilling challenge I can’t get enough of!!!

Evolve fitness PHL is the best CrossFit gym I’ve been a part of. Period. I switched gyms this past fall, after Evolve opened, from a gym that was literally across the street from my apartment. Now I walk from center city to old city every day to come to the gym, and I couldn’t be happier. Never in a million years would I think I would abandon a gym that was 25 feet from my front door, but here we are.
The coaching at evolve is unparalleled, and the staff/ownership are all just amazing human beings. The energy is unmatched. As soon as you join you feel like you are part of the family. It’s quite amazing actually. And the group that goes to the gym are just fun people to be around. They motivate you to be better than you were yesterday. I never would have thought I would wake up before 5am every day, but now I’m actually upset if I’m ever out of town and have to miss a day.
The programming is excellent. In the past several months I have made meaningful improvements and even have sprinkled a PRs in there (which is quite impressive given that I’ve been doing CrossFit for the last 9+ years).
If you want an awesome gym, with great people, and you want to get in the best shape you’ve ever been in - lEvolve is the place for you. 5 stars. Check it out.

I relocated from Southern California and it took months for me to find the perfect fitness facility that fit my needs. I discovered Evolve fitness several weeks ago. Initially I signed up for one class and I can tell you that was it--I was sold!! Classes are well organized and offer a variety of cardio activities as well as weight training. The fitness instructors are brilliant as is the facility!! They are always willing to go above and beyond to assist in any way possible. I always appreciate feedback on my form and most importantly, I love the encouragement. This is exactly the service you will receive at Evolve fitness!! I highly recommend Evolve. As the new year approaches, make working out your new years resolution!!

Evolve is a welcoming atmosphere that challenges you no matter what level you’re at. The coaches are knowledgeable and thorough throughout the duration of each class. They have a variety of equipment and plenty of space for everyone to work out comfortably. The HIIT classes are always an intense 30 minutes. It’s an awesome challenge to push your pace in a group setting. Highly recommend getting out of your comfort zone and giving it a try… you won’t stop once you start!

Evolve is by far the best gym that i've found since moving to Philadelphia. The space offers both coach-led classes and every machine you'd want for an open gym workout. Me being new to Crossfit, the staff has been great in helping to build the foundation needed to excel in the classes. Can't recommend enough

I can't say enough about Evolve. Nik Hecht, and his team of coaches are highly-skilled experts in all aspects of fitness. They are also some of the kindest and most encouraging people you'll ever meet. It is a very warm and family-like environment at Evolve that welcomes all ages and experience-levels.
The classes are incredibly effective (AND HARD). You can learn so much and notice gains very quickly...all you have to do is show up and be willing to work! The classes are also pretty small, so you can get a very good amount of attention from the coaches, who are accessible and eager to help you find the weight/movement that is best for you.
The space is just incredible. Huge warehouse with racks, rigs, BB's, DB's, ergs, pads, boxes, AND machines! (The space was formerly Fearless Atheltics, but the set up is now way better).
My personal experience is that I worked out in regular gyms for over ten years, but after starting classes at Evolve (formerly Fortitude), I will never go back to that. I find that I just get so much more out of the time and effort put in at a place like this -- not to mention it's a lively, fun, social environment. I'm 34, in the best shape of my life, and have made new friends here. For the money you pay, it's the best value in the city.

Evolve Fitness is an amazing gym right in the heart of Old City. The coaching staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable, and the workouts will definitely push you. They also have machines available for people who don't want to deal with the globo gym crowd. This gym is awesome, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great workout and an amazing community!

I joined EVOLVE about 3 weeks ago and have LOVED every class and coach I’ve met. The coaches walk the walk. They lead by example. The group atmosphere is awesome. I wasn’t feeling it at my prior box. This change has given me motivation to keep getting stronger.

Co-owners Fairlane Collar, new mom and fitness and nutrition coach, and Nik Hecht, new dad (x2!), coach and CrossFit Games Athlete competing with Team Open Box Athletics (OBA) in 2022, have "evolved" their former Northern Liberties neighborhood gym, Fortitude & Co, into Evolve Fitness PHL. Evolve occupies the former Fearless Athletics CrossFit Penns Landing location and we're excited to see the iconic brick box garage door open once again!
With a variety of state-of-the-art fitness equipment for all levels, Evolve aims to be THE gym for the Philadelphia fitness community. Evolve offers one-hour functional fitness or CrossFit-style classes, 30-minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) classes, and open gym.
Whether you're 27 or 72, the coaches will meet you where you are in your fitness journey, help you meet your individual goals, provide a variety of scaling options, and focus on form and quality of movement.
As a new mom, being fit and healthy is very important to me. I look forward to my time at the gym and everyone is super friendly and welcoming.
I'm excited to see what Evolve has to offer. Come check it out!

Great to see the Fortitude Fitness community evolve into this new location! Their classes challenge you every day and their staff is always there to give you that extra push or support when you need it. They also have a great selection of machines and weights, if an open gym is more your style.
