“The gym is a very scary place for a people who haven’t been, or even people who do go to a big gym with lots of new people,” says Matt Benvie, founder of Evolve Fitness. But Benvie says Evolve’s laid-back and intentionally not-intimidating environment counteracts that feeling and makes people feel welcomed. “The steps we go to to make sure people feel comfortable and to create an atmosphere for all fitness levels, that helps,” he says. It’s continuing to keep doing things the same (like the signature boot camp classes) while “just going a little bit more all in.”
