I shouldve posted this review sooner, but here we are. The fitness world can be rough, especially when trying to find the right training environment. I can say, without a doubt, that elevate has the best training community Ive ever seen. Not only that, but you are guaranteed to learn something here regardless of your skill/experience. There is a clear focus on proper technique, making progress, and hitting your goals. Whether youre a novice or an experienced lifter I highly recommend Elevate. Evan is by far the best trainer Ive had in my life and Ive worked under some professional lifters. Do yourself a massive favor and give Elevate a try, you wont regret it.

There are so many place I could begin, but Ive been a member at elevate for just over a year and my life has change dramatically physically and emotionally. I was 45 and facing a knee replacement, I couldnt get out of a chair without help, my shoulders, wrists and hip were always in pain from pushing myself up because I couldnt use my one knee. I started working with Evan who said he was up to the task to get me feeling and moving better. One year later I have lost almost 40lbs and as strong as I have ever been in my life, and I am no longer in constant pain. Evan and the folks at Elevate have coached, mentored and supported my efforts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning and have made my life exponentially better.

I joined Elevate March of 2019, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Evan is a patient, dedicated, and thoughtful coach, working with everyone closely to achieve their goals. By completing an initial screening, Evan and his team are able to create and coach you specific to your needs, and encourages and challenges you to do it the right way, celebrating all of the wins you WILL have along the way!! The training class sizes are perfect, well thought out, and really challenge you and help you get better! From the moment you arrive, you feel supported and welcomed, with everyone truly being happy to see you succeed! It truly is a another family for me and I have seen gains and improvements that would not have been possible without the support of Evan, Gail, Mary and ALL of the ELEVATE family!!

I started going to Elevate in October of 2019. I was looking for a new gym with a method and atmosphere I liked, and this has been it! Theres a focus on correct form and a process to the workouts which I really like. There is an actual method to strengthening yourself, and without injury. The atmosphere there is very positive and everyone is encouraging. I never enjoyed going to gyms before, I had to force myself to go. Elevate, I actually like going to and look forward to the workouts there! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym that offers great workouts with purpose!

I joined Elevate because I need to be functionally strong for my job. In the time Ive been at ESP I have become stronger, and because of the coaching I have also noticed less strain when working out. My form has improved greatly and I feel less prone to injury. The coaches really care about physical and mental fitness. In a multi person class you can still get one on one feedback to improve.A great compliment to the training is the community behind ESP. Every time I am at the gym I feel welcome by the staff and members. It is a great experience and I look forward to every day Im here.

When I came to Elevate I was 60 and broken, physically and emotionally. I was in poor shape and couldnt walk up stairs without assistance.I was miserable. It was recommended by a good friend who told me this place was like no other.They would meet me where I was at and tailor a program especially for me. I was so excited with the early results I convinced my wife to sign up.She now has a strong core of women friends that genuinely care for each other inside and outside the gym. Elevate has given me my life back. Evans knowledge, programs,patience, and encouragement has restored my health in a way that just a year ago I didnt think was possible.For the 1st time in a over a decade I can live an active lifestyle. I invested in ME, going 3 times a week for over a year and see no end in sight. I love going. I keep getting stronger and more mobile. One of the highlights of my new life is meeting my married son twice a week for 3 mile sunrise walks. you cant put a price on that. Its truly a nice group of people who support each other in so many ways, none more evident during the Covid crisis where everybody is continuing our commitment to fitness via zoom. There are no words to adequately portray what this place means to me. Its the best decision I have ever made and i will never settle for less again

Hands down this the best place in Central Mass. to work on improving strength and performance with safe and progressive programming. You’ll join a supportive, friendly community, and not just physically train but learn how to listen to your body. If you want to improve your ability to do the things you love; playing with children/grandchildren, being a weekend warrior or be a better moving human in general check out Elevate! You won’t be disappointed – I wasn’t!

Elevate is way more than a gym, it’s a family. Not only are Evan and the other staff committed to your success, they truly care about you as a person. With no more than 12 people per session you get a lot of individual attention, if and when needed. All body movements are taught in a way to prevent injury and maximize your personal abilities. I have never been a part of such an amazing community of people working hard to better themselves. It’s by far the best gym experience I’ve ever had.

I joined Elevate Strength & Performance in January 2017 -- one of the best decisions Ive ever made! Before I began to train, Evan performed a functional movement screen that identified a pre-existing shoulder mobility issue. Knowing that led him to tailor the training program for my shoulder issue, and he helped correct it. With training sessions no larger than 12 people, Evan and his team are able to watch and correct form, as needed. The facility is very well-equipped and absolutely spotless, and the gym community is friendly and supportive. ESP truly lives up to its Core Values every day.

I have been working out at Elevate for almost 1.5 years, and it has changed my life. I first joined to improve my sense of community in a new city, and to work on my emotional and physical wellbeing. I have exceeded both of those initial goals.I started cold as a person with no strength training experience whatsoever, and the team at Elevate took time to help me gain confidence and skill in core training movements. The members at the gym are a very special group of people, and the friendliness and positivity you encounter as soon as you walk in the door lifts you up.There is a level of training at Elevate for everyones fitness goals. It is a personalized, approachable program filled with fun and sweat, as well as a unique, amazing family. Come join us!!

There are so many ways that Elevate is different from other gyms. The owner and trainers work as a cohesive unit to help you reach your goals. They are so well trained and work well with beginners and more seasoned athletes. They know everyone personally and there is essentially no staff turnover. The programming is well thought out and keeps you engaged. The members are awesome and there is a true sense of community. I cant imagine training anywhere else.

Evan and his staff truly go above and beyond and are personally invested in everyones success and cater to a range of ages and abilities. Training here is the favorite part of my day. Ive been a member for 5 years and have trained consistently throughout thanks to their dedication to me and my wellness. The atmosphere is a true gym family where people get strong together and build each other up. Additionally, the facility is well-equipped and immaculately clean. In light of the COVID-19 crisis, Evan has done all he can to ensure that members can still train together via live zoom meetings and he delivered all gym equipment to members that needed it. Ive never encountered a gym owner more compassionate, caring or selfless. Elevate has kept me sane during a difficult quarantine and my training with everyone remains the favorite part of my day.

Its been 3 1/2 years since I joined Elevate and I am so grateful to have found this community. This is the longest Ive ever committed to a strength routine and Evan has helped become stronger than I thought possible. Plus those mobility drills are a killer in the best way possible. There arent enough platitudes out there to describe Evan, Mary, Brandon and Jackie. The team encourages, inspires and leads me every day not only in the gym, but outside too. I 100% recommend Elevate to everyone!

The atmosphere here at ESP is one you won’t get at just any gym. You are constantly being pushed to do your best but in a way that makes it fun and feasible. The community here makes working out enjoyable and the workouts are always pushing you to your next level. The coaches are professional and knowledgeable and you get a one on one feeling you don’t get at those big discount gyms. I love this place and have been here for 3 years!

Joining Elevate has changed my life in more ways than I can count. In high school, I was always apart of a sports team. Therefore, I was not only accountable to myself but to those around me to show up to practice and give it my all. However, I lost that team atmosphere in college and beyond. I have again found that at this gym. Although we are working at our own goals, there is a strong sense of team and community. I want to show up for myself but for my gym family as well. As far as coaching, Evan, Mary and Brandon are exceptional. They truly care about the success of their members and take time to truly help improve the movement of each person that steps foot into the gym. I am so happy to have found elevate!!!

I can’t imagine a better gym experience than mine at Elevate! This gym is different - one that is focused on outcomes behind just building muscle or losing weight. A combo of impeccable coaching and a welcoming, fun members makes this place awesome!

The community Evan and his team has created at Elevate rivals no other! It is the friendliest, most supportive group of people one would ever hope to meet. Forget any big box gym-bros and the like, this place doesnt play like that. If you have been wanting to work out in a gym, but anxiety has kept you away- this is your place, these are are your people. #truth

When I joined Elevate Strength & Performance I was looking for some sort of change without knowing exactly what I was looking for. Over the past few months Evan and his team have helped me recommit to my health and learn how to incorporate physical activity into my life that is enjoyable. This team has encouraged and pushed me personal growth alongside building physical strength – I am excited to see what the future holds for me here at ESP.

Elevate takes the guess work out of training. Evan and team combine thoughtful programing and serious knowledge in a friendly and supportive atmosphere to help people make progress towards goals. The focus is on moving well, being strong and having fun!

I have been at elevate for over a year and I can’t say enough good things about it! It’s a great community of members and trainers. I have learned so much about fitness, nutrition and myself. I feel stronger than ever (physically and mentally), have met some awesome people and gained a lot of friends. Highly recommend :)

Best decision I ever made! Because of some injuries from BJJ, I was insistent in finding a place with highly knowledgeable, expert trainers. Evan at ESP is by far the best in the area. He provides proper/safe instruction and programming. Everything has a purpose for an intended result. I am now stronger than I have ever been. The community is also welcoming and fun!

Ive been training with Evan at Elevate Strength & Performance for just over three years, and it has been a life-changing experience. When I first joined (as Worcester Kettlebell Club), classes were small and instruction was tailored to my individual needs based on what my body was able to do at the time. I had never really had a regular fitness routine, and I was searching for something that would help me lose some weight and feel better. Over the past three years, I definitely found what I was looking for, and it has resulted in remarkable changes in both what I am able to do and how I feel. Even though the number of members at ESP has grown quite a bit in three years, the feeling is still that of a small group with outstanding individual attention. The entire coaching staff has great attention to detail, is so encouraging, and the members feel like a family. While Im not always happy when my alarm goes off super early in the morning, I never question a single morning that I get up and go train at ESP. Im so thankful that its become a regular part of my life and my fitness and nutrition journey.

It wasnt until I joined WKC & the team training sessions with Evan that fitness finally clicked for me. Its the first place that made me realize I needed to commit to my own fitness, that I wanted to commit. Evan provides a great atmosphere & the team sessions are a lot of fun.

Elevate has been my gym home for over 3 years now, and has seen me through a challenging pregnancy, a traumatic childbirth, and the subsequent recovery. The supportive community and coaches are motivating and allow me to pursue big goals while also helping me to stay injury free.

This is my favorite place to work out ever--and Ive tried a lot of places. Evan is one of the nicest people to train with and gauges his members, knowing how to best help each of us individually achieve our goals. While Evans skill with people and training is phenomenal, what makes this place special is the positivity and support that the entire community provides. Good energy must attract good energy, because all the members of this gym work together to help each other reach their potential.

Excellent training facility. Evan is extremely knowledgable and puts a huge emphasis on proper form and working with everyone to improve. There is a great comradery between all members, and no one gets left behind.
