ELEVATE Strength & Performance

I been a training with Elevate since early 2017 and have never looked back. It has been the best lifestyle decision I have ever made and committed too. Evan is by far the most talented and skillfull trainer I have ever met and his staff are awesome. I have been taught the building blocks to train smart to not get hurt. The gym environment is more like a family, always welcoming and supportive. I highly recommend Elevate!

I've been working out at Elevate since spring of 2021, and its been worth literally every cent. Evan puts his heart and soul into this gym, and he's got a fun, skilled team of coaches that bring their own personality to the sessions. I feel like I found myself again by coming here, and in the process I found a community. They change up the classes on a monthly basis, so you can challenge yourself without the workouts going stale. They perfected their virtual game over the pandemic, which is great because they keep me honest while I'm out of town. Thank you Elevate for encouraging me to Be my Best 💚

Elevate is the best gym I have ever been a part of! I always active and engaging in various types of work outs but as I got into my 30’s, I felt it was important to start weight lifting for my bone density and to challenge myself to go outside of my comfort zone. I joined in 2015 and have been a happy member ever since. I trained through 2 pregnancies and I truly believe my consistent training prepared me for parenthood! The coaches at ESP are so dedicated to our growth, health and safety and that energy makes for an empowering and motivating space to get stronger. I want to be able to move well and be strong and there is no doubt in my mind that ESP is the place for me!
The gym is goal oriented, fun, challenging and has become one of my favorite places to be!! Best gym community in Worcester!!

Elevate is a great gym. I’ve been going for almost 10 years now. Evan and all the coaches there provide great support, feedback, and training sessions that really give my full body a great workout. Highly recommend to anyone looking for both a gym and a great gym community!

I have been a member at Elevate for 9 years, through 3 pregnancies, and through all of the body changes that come along with it. There is no better feeling than having the strength and movement ability to keep up with three active children and I attribute it all to the dedication and commitment the coaches at Elevate have to all of their members. It is apparent that they care deeply about each and every person who walks through their doors and they ensure your functional fitness goals are met and more often than not, surpassed. Your safety and well being are top priority at Elevate and you will feel welcome and appreciated at every class. Elevate holds a special place in my heart and I’m forever grateful to have found such a gem of a gym.

Elevate Strength & Performance is more than just a gym. It is a one of a kind community that inspires and motivates you to become the best and strongest version of yourself. The coaches are knowledgeable and dedicated to your improvement and meet you wherever you are in your fitness journey. Only wish I joined sooner.

I highly recommend Elevate to anyone, especially if youre looking to get into weightlifting. The gym focuses on developing good techniques from your first class. Evan (the head coach and owner) is extremely knowledgeable and I love how he explains good techniques and why its important. It is very clear that he is passionate about fitness and providing his trainees with quality coaching. Gail and Dion are super encouraging while still motivating you to challenge yourself. Programs change on a monthly basis so you are never too bored of the same workout, all the while building strong foundations.

Personally Ive seen my physical strength and cardio stamina increase. Overall an amazing experience. Thank you Elevate!!

A terrific gym for the rest of us. Small coaching groups with individualized training programs for each participant. The trainers are knowledgeable, supportive and down-to-earth. A welcoming place that is helping me explore and expand my strength, mobility and enjoyment of being alive. At 71, this is the first gym I have ever belonged to and am grateful to have found my way here. After just the first month, I felt stronger and more energetic than I have in years.

My husbands been going to elevate for almost 10 years and has loved it. When we met I joined shortly after and have really enjoyed it. It’s super clean, nice equipment, everyone’s welcoming, great gym culture. It’s really a little community. I’ve worked out at other gyms in Worcester area including orange theory and they just aren’t the same. I’ve also done personal training before and all of the coaches here are great. Evan the owner is definitely the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. But all the trainers are super knowledgeable and help you with your form and reaching your goals. The coaches also pick someone every month who’s exemplified the core values of the gym and showed a lot of growth, then the gym donates money to that persons charity of choice, which is think it so great. If you want team personal training then this is the gym for you. Theres different workouts daily and they change every month so you never get bored. Also super reasonably priced for a specialty gym. Can’t recommend elevate enough!

Move Well. Be Strong. These words are printed on the window at Elevate, and I think they are a perfect focus for my review!

1. Move Well.

I used to be a person that had the “more is better” “go hard or go home” mentality. I was always pushing limits and not always using the proper form. As a result, I was plagued with shoulder issues (and other issues) for years. I joined Elevate in 2019, and thus began my reeducation! The coaching attention given to form in all movements is second to none. I’ve learned the importance of movement prep (warming up) and rest and recovery and I have learned to move well. I can still work hard and challenge myself, but in a way that allows me to remain pain free.

2. Be Strong

I am a goal oriented person, so the Elite small group training has been a perfect fit for me. I share my goals with my coach and he writes a custom program to help me achieve those goals. Small goals, big goals, whatever they may be, I have made continuous improvements in strength since I started in 2019.

3. Be Happy!! 😊

Elevate is truly my Happy Place! The coaches, the environment and the community are the best. 💚

I am 54 years old. Being able to move well and be strong as I age - well, you cannot put a price tag on that!

Elevate is of the upper echelon of gyms. I have been working out for over 15 years with a focus on both boxing as well as strength and conditioning. I was a member of a gym for over 7 years that was no longer serving me. The gym offered a mix of strength as well as intense cardio like burpees, wall balls etc. I am 48 years old and didn't feel I was gaining any muscle and that the workouts were really fatiguing me and causing inflammation. I searched for a strength focused gym and found Evan and team. The gym is beautiful with the best equipment. More importantly Evan, Dion and Gail are amazing trainers and welcomed me with open arms. They listened to my goals and trained me from the basics. I loved learning perfect form with the focus on strength and quickly saw great results. After 6 months of training I had never felt better and had met my physical goals. Everyone there is so warm, friendly and fun! Great atmosphere and the very best of trainers! Unfortunately I moved away and was very sad to leave. I highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Elevate for four months now and I have found a genuinely amazing gym environment. Evan, Gail, and Dion have given me so much confidence and guidance with their training and I love going there. I’ve built up my strength as they really focus on progression while ensuring all the exercises I’m doing are done without injury. I did not specifically seek out a kettlebell gym, but now that I’m here I love the versatility. The structure of the classes also makes it easy to follow along and know what you’re doing every day. There definitely is no sense of “gymtimidation” either as everybody starts off learning the basics and progressing from there. Evan and team have built a really welcoming community of people. Join the gym!

Elevate is a great gym and a wonderful community. I’ve been a member since 2020 and I feel stronger and healthier each year. If you’re looking for a supportive and encouraging gym to get stronger with - this is your place!

I joined elevate a little over 2 years ago. I had worked out in the past, but after moving to a new town hadn’t found a local gym to get back into a fitness routine, and then covid hit. After a couple years of remote work and a less active daily routine I found myself packing on extra pounds and being less physically active then I had been before.

Elevate was the best choice of gym I could have made to restart my fitness journey- especially coming back into a gym routine out of shape and wanting to be careful to avoid injuries while regaining fitness. Evan, Dion and Gail are all excellent coaches with a focus on form and correct movement, and are all genuinely invested in your success and improvement. Truly you will not find a better coaching experience - the level of attention feels like you are benefitting from private coaching even in a group class. Classes are always a positive experience- fellow members are encouraging, supportive, and fun with plenty of laughs to go around, and the gym environment is very clean and welcoming (extra water bottles, hair ties, paper towels etc always readily available).

The programming is excellent and combined with the coaching ensures you will see results and progress wherever your baseline is at. My results varied from initially improving my movement quality, recovering from non-gym injuries, and building strength, to this last 9 months when I’ve been able to commit to pretty consistently attending class 4 times a week building strength, energy and muscle at 35 years old that I’ve never had before, while losing a significant amount of weight. Most importantly, I feel better and more capable outside the gym in daily life- a true testament to the functional training and movement quality the programming and coaching supports. I plan on being a life long member!

It’s been about 10-12 years since I’ve focused on conditioning. I’ve never felt comfortable in a gym; I’ve been anxious and too nervous to take the plunge. Evan and his team are exceptionally welcoming, motivating and accommodating to my fitness level without me feeling like I’m not a part of the group. They create monthly programs with progression for the strength and conditioning groups (TEAMS) but there are other classes there as well. I’m also in an Elite class which is more individualized for my personal goals. I know it can be tough to jump in but I highly recommend trying! You will want to keep up with it! Lastly price; when you are nervous about sticking with something any price can be intimidating. It’s a month to month fee and I find that my budget hasn’t really changed. You start to feel invested in your health to support your programming for me that meant fewer purchases of snacks, alcohol, smarter grocery trips and even dinners out. Try it, you”ll be surprised what you can accomplish in such a short time!!

If you are looking for personal plans, knowledgeable coaches, and attention to details, Elevate Strength and Performance is for you. The clientele is diverse in age, ability and strength. If you want to move and feel better or just focus on your strength Elevate is for you. Looking for small classes? Elevate is your answer. It is a social, non intimidating place even for this 59 year old!

I never considered myself a gym person before walking into Elevate. I think like many folks, I have had some not so great experiences with gyms where you're sort of left to your own devices and pick up terrible habits. Not here! They take the time to do an assessment of where you are and work with you to get you to your goals. Class sizes are small intentionally so nobody is lost in the crowd. And Bonus - the community and culture is authentically supportive, I'm just bummed I didn't get there sooner. If you are looking to build functional strength, work with people who take the time and WANT you to succeed AND have a few laughs along the way, for what it's worth, I highly recommend ELEVATE.

The trainers at Elevate are focused on your success and helping you succeed whatever goals it is you have. They have been amazing motivators both before I was pregnant and on my journey postpartum. They’re inclusive of all people are every level of their fitness journey. I highly recommend Elevate!

ESP is more than a gym, it’s a community where people cheer on your progress and support you through your struggles. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and great at explaining corrections. I came from another gym with a similar small group setting, but my mobility and strength weren’t improving and I was getting more stiffness in my joints. At elevate, there’s a focus on functional strength and movements to feel good. Whenever I’m walking up the stairs with my toddler in one arm and my baby in the other, I think of how fortunate I am to have coaches that have taught me the importance of core strength in all activities because otherwise this task would feel impossible. If you’re looking to be strong each day, feel like you’re part of a community, and live with functional strength then this is the place for you!

I’ve been retired for quite awhile and I started at Elevate to help me age gracefully. I have an exercise program customized for me instead of off the shelf. The coaches zero in on my individual needs. Since joining Elevate, I have increased both my strength and mobility. I enjoy the camaraderie and encouragement from other members.
