Fitness Evolution - Buffalo, Minnesota

recently joined this gym, and the sign-up process was incredibly easy and straightforward. The gym offers a fantastic range of amenities for the price, including racquetball courts, a pool, hot tub, sauna, and plenty of workout equipment. It’s easily the most affordable gym in town for what you get!

However, some areas could use more attention when it comes to cleanliness, especially the showers and specific rooms. I noticed some issues, but when I brought them up, the staff was responsive and willing to make improvements. With a bit more focus on cleanliness, this place would easily earn 5 stars from me!

I've been a member of this gym on and off since the 90s and it has changed hands many times.
Mostly I use the sauna. Today I brought in soft light light bulbs to replace the very bright ones in the sauna. Brandon came in right away to change them out. Everyone in the sauna remarked about the better lighting.
Also, the cleaning product for the sauna was changed to a much less toxic one. Thank you~

A swimming coach, Cayden Jacobs, just worked with me in the FitEvo pool, very professional and helpful! Swimming is my main exercise and I had to stop due to pain. He showed me how to correct that. Good job, Cayden!

Went there for knee rehab about two years ago. The price was alot cheaper then now. Worked out great for my knee. Now i'm back for rehab on my own for shoulder surgery. The monthly price from new years sign up is $32 month. No mater what time my wife and myself go. They are always cleaning. Even lifting up equipment with two persons mopping and sanitizing. The staff has always been friendly greeting you coming and leaving. They have all you need to get in shape. including large swimming pool, hot tub, sauna.

TLDR: GREEDY GYM TRYING TO SQUEEZE WATER FROM A ROCK, WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL!!! BEWARE!!!

Honestly, I never had a bad experience with these people BEFORE moving away. We are a lower income family that is currently in college.

I moved far away from any location and attempted to cancel via phone call. I was advised that would not be possible and that it would have to be in person. I advised them that I currently am not able to come in person as I am a distance away. They then advised me that they were unable to help me.

I stopped payments to the gym, as I was no longer utilizing there utilities or using their resources. And all was good for 2 months or so until I ended up with a bill in my mailbox for more then $120! For a gym that I haven't even utilized in months. I called the main gym here in Buffalo and they then advised me that there WAS an option to cancel all the way back then, but it had to be via email. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS UNTIL JUST NOW, after I had already asked to cancel after I moved and had been told I had to be in person.

So now, after talking to the gym, this is where I am left (mind again I am a college student so literally no money) I have to pay this $120 BEFORE they will let me cancel for services im not even using, and if I don't cancel by the end of the month, it will keep on incurring monthly fees, and if not paid eventually will be sent to collections.

I've been going here since January 2022 and all in all, this gym is an excellent value for all the amenities offered. Cheapest gym in town. Racquetball courts, pool, hot tub, sauna, tanning beds, track and tons of equipment to choose from. The cleanliness has never been great. The showers are gross. The tanning bed rooms are very disgusting though. I use them regularly and see spiders in there frequently and tons of dirt and cobwebs on the walls, floor and behind the beds. If the gym starts cleaning these rooms better I'll change this to a 5 star review I promise!

Update: Thank you for putting ant traps in the tanning bed rooms, listening to my concerns and implementing improvements! As promised, I updated my review to 5 stars!

Great gym with a great staff!! Sauna, pool, weights, and track are all excellent. They are always getting new equipment and replacing any ripped seats. Staff are friendly and helpful. I've been to many gyms and there is nothing to complain about here.

Budget Lifetime Fitness. It was always packed. Not 24/7. Facility is in rough shape, but who cares when you are getting pumped. Management was very helpful, but there wasn't enough variety in the equipment available. They have a lot of members. So, equipment availability was sparse at times. In fact, this is best managed budget gym I've attended. Facilities were really clean and I always felt welcomed. Really appreciated the variety in the free weights. I was hoping they would have more kinetic workout areas. The tires and beer kegs outside was a really cool addition this year. It was a good place to workout most of the time. Best times to go are first thing in the morning 6AM and very late at night 8-11PM. This would be a great club if they made some extensive improvements. I really see value in this location, and would come back as a member if they remodeled the club to be more inline with a Lifetime Fitness or just more modern. It's got a late 90's early 2000's vibe. I decided to join Anytime Fitness because of their multiple locations in the Twin Cities and better fit for my work situation.
