EVOKE Fitness Training Complex

Fantastic experience: 2 years later....... Since you usually only get initial reviews, here's an update. Evoke is still full of support, encouragement, and people working on their goals. This is not one of those gyms you'll pay a membership for and never go! You'll go and see progress and have a wonderful group of people around you who want to see you succeed. It's the gym you didn't know you need. If you want a gym, any gym will do. If you want to make progress, be a part of something bigger than you, and feel motivated to push yourself further than you thought you could, this is the place for you. Evoke will accept you as you are and support you through whatever goals you may have. After you've been there for awhile, you will probably raise those goals! Mena has created a safe place for everyone to reach and exceed their goals.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! The people, the workouts, the way I feel. It’s varied and fun. Feels like community and a family. I’m always glad I went and I get stronger everyday. The trainers and owner are dedicated beyond belief. It’s RAD! Go! You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place for those wishing to up their game! My daughter went here for several years to help with her High School running. She won many races and earned herself a great college scholarship. Evoke also helps cancer patients through their Evoke Warriors program which I am a member of. I feel better and stronger than I have ever felt before thanks to Evoke.

Fantastic experience: I’m on week 7 of training here and I'm feeling stronger, more energized, more confident and my endurance has improved with each workout. This keeps me motivated and encouraged as I train for a triathlon. Mena and her trainers tailor the workouts to your fitness level & goals. They teach you proper form & techniques and help keep me accountable. Their workouts are efficient with maximum benefits, and the trainers offer motivation & encouragement to give your best. I highly recommend Evoke Fitness and their professional trainers.

Fantastic experience: Evoke Fitness isn't just a gym, it's a family...a way of life. It's a way of reclaiming and living a stronger, healthier and more energetic life! I'm on my 7th week of twice a week workouts and I never in a million years would of imagined the things I am able to do now, just 3 months post breast cancer surgery. This program has helped me gain strength and confidence and combat the fatigue that come post surgery and during radiation and endocrine therapy. I am adding muscle to reduce my chance of reoccurrence of cancer. I highly recommend this gym and all the highly skilled trainers that come with it!!!

Fantastic experience: Evoke Firness is top notch! Their freindly trainers have the know how to help me get in the best shape possible while keeping me safe from injury. It has a great location with easy access. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Evoke is a great place to get personalized workouts from beginners to experts. The trainers are knowledgeable and great to work with, I have been going there 6 weeks and I have never felt so healthy and alive. Careful though, this gym is highly addictive. So yeah, 5 stars highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been a gym goer since I can remember starting at about age 12, in addition to being a runner. I joined Evoke in August 2025 after doing extensive research for a gym that would not only offer professional and supportive training programs, but a sense of belonging and comradery. I got that and so much more. Mena, owner, and her team are true pros; they foster a supportive environment, and value caring for people and building relationships along with muscle and overall health! For me, this is the first gym/fitness environment where the women, in particular, (and men) are very supportive. It feels like a team, and the people are nice, fun, and happy to be there training hard and smart! I feel so lucky, and you could too. Check out Evoke! It's top-notch.

Fantastic experience: Evoke is the place to be!! Whether you’ve been working out for years or just wanting to get back into exercising and feeling better, give Mena a call! She’s been such an amazing trainer and everytime you go in, you’ll never get the same workout twice! You will start noticing a difference in how you look and feel. She also is very good at working around any injuries you may have to find an accommodating workout plan made just for you. Logan is also a fantastic and very knowledgeable trainer! When you don’t think you can possibly do a certain exercise, he encourages you and before you know it you’re done and you accomplished it! Go check out Evoke, you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Evoke! Great environment for building muscles and confidence! Mena is great at helping you reach your goals!

Fantastic experience: Mena and the trainers at Evoke are the best! No matter where you are starting from, what your challenges may be or what your goals are, they will get you moving. Evoke is dedicated to improving the health and wellness of this community. Mena and the staff help design personalized workouts and nutrition support to maximize results while prioritizing healthy goals and injury prevention. Evoke is the place for you if you want to change your life for the better and the long term by developing strong habits, body and mind.

Fantastic experience: Amazing!!! I have been going to Evoke for over two years and I absolutely love this gym!!! Mena and her team will push you and help you achieve your goals. I always look forward to my workouts. The gym is a great community/family environment. My teen boys train at the gym as well and really look up to Logan. He is great at adapting to each individual’s needs for the sport they are playing. 100% recommend Evoke.

Positive experience: I went to Evoke for an introductory cycle class a few weeks ago with Bailey and had a great experience. She recommended I come back to try a different instructor because her class would “change my life” but after attending I was disappointed with my experience. When I walked into the class the instructor introduced herself and helped me adjust my bike which I appreciated. The cycle class itself was fine, I got a good sweat in, and the music was okay (it was a mix of EDM and punk/rock Christmas music). It was hard to hear the instructor while she taught the class, but I was able to follow along well enough. Maybe her microphone was broken? At the end of the class the instructor had the class leave the cycle room and go onto the turf for a circuit style ab/push up/plank rotation. Personally I am not a fan of adding additional workouts to the end of classes. I signed up for a cycle class, if I wanted to do circuit training I would have signed up for that instead. However, I kept and open mind because I didn’t know what to expect. The circuit was hard but doable. Then the instructor started making comments about how people were being “lazy” and “didn’t take their vitamins this morning” due to some people not following along to her instructions. She announced each exercise that we needed to complete which could make it hard to follow. Sometimes I didn’t have enough time to complete the exercise before she announced the next one. This circuit lasted about 15 minutes which went over the allotted hour for cycle class. Then the instructor made a comment saying “be careful what you put into your mouth this week” and “ you don’t want a full belly” which seemed unnecessary and an odd thing to say. As a newcomer, the instructors comments just felt toxic and gave me a bad impression. Maybe that’s the environment some people come for, but I prefer someone who uplifts people who pay money to attend their classes.

Fantastic experience: I love training with Logan so much! He’s helped me in so many ways to become a better athlete for next level competition in college.

Fantastic experience: If there were more stars I’d leave 10. I thank Mena and crew for my transformation and helping me take control of my health and body. Clean and great equipment + therapy

Fantastic experience: Evoke is hands down the best gym Reno has to offer. I entered 2024 with several fitness goals that I wanted to pursue. I had come into Evoke with high hopes, and man did they absolutely deliver. I was met with open arms, big smiles, and high energy. I chatted with Mena, the owner, about my fitness goals and she accepted me in right away with open arms. We made a game plan to focus on building muscle, toning up my body, and losing body fat to prepare for my first ever body building show in August 2024. She created a workout schedule that worked with my availability. She even set up my macros to keep me on track to achieve my goals. She encouraged me and pushed me to be the best version of myself and I am forever grateful. She was always there to answer any questions and concerns I had. She was my rock throughout this whole 6 month long fitness journey I endured. She even came to the show, walking me through it step by step and has been one of my biggest supporters. Not only is Mena phenomenal, but I have also trained with one of her sons, Logan. He was super attentive to my goals and pushed me to become a better version of myself. Evoke is by far the best gym here, and filled with wonderful people whom love to share similar goals and interests. 11/10 would recommend, if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

Fantastic experience: Evoke has some of the best trainers in the industry. The equipment is always very clean and in great condition. The trainers go out of their way to make sure everyone is getting the most out of their workouts. I personally went from 207 pounds at 26% body fat down to 175 pounds at 13%. This is due to their training programs and dedication to their clients. I cannot recommend Evoke enough!

Fantastic experience: There is no other gym like Evoke. One benefit of being an early bird at Evoke is seeing the sunrise. I look forward to watching the light fill the sky while I am warming up on the rower. It helps me quiet my mind and be present. Early in my career a mentor taught me to surround myself with people I admire and aspire to be like. Although it was sometimes intimidating, this practice has had long lasting, positive effects in all aspects of my life. Most significantly, taking this advice leveled the playing field for me. It allowed me to reprogram some negative core beliefs that were engrained from my childhood and as a result, my self-confidence grew. Over the years, my thought process shifted to ‘I belong here, I am good enough, I can do this’. Since high school, I have gone to a gym or trained for running events. But over the last few years I fell out of my routine. I gained weight and became depressed and extremely resentful. The lack of physical movement directly impacted my mental health. My inner voice became stuck in a negative loop. I hated how I looked and knew it was time to make a change. Several of my friends had raved about Evoke, so I reached out to the owner, Mena Spodobalski, and took the first step. Mena’s energy is contagious. From the first text, I was welcomed into the most positive environment I have ever been part of. There is a different kind of feeling at Evoke… it is hard to describe until you experience it. Natural light flows in through huge windows and the size of the gym is perfect – it is warm and inviting and you can feel the energy buzzing around you. Mena is fun! She is always smiling, giving, listening and encouraging. I honestly do not know how she finds the time to give so much to so many. Her presence is remarkable. Mena shares her passion for health and fitness with her son Logan who is an accomplished athlete and one of the trainers at Evoke. Logan specializes in speed training, agility, strength training and injury prevention to name a few. Shortly after I joined Evoke, my daughter began training with Logan. She loved the focus, challenge and encouragement at the gym and saw direct results in both basketball and lacrosse. Logan is a true role model for athletes. He is dedicated to helping them become their very best. After training with Logan this summer, Ava was very prepared to play at the college level. I highly recommend him. Like attracts like. The law of attraction suggests that people’s thoughts tend to attract similar results. Mena attracts the best trainers and clients. The trainers are kind, funny, sincere and passionate. Each of them truly cares. The workout structure allows you to push yourself as hard as you can while still being able to connect with other clients who are right there with you. I LOVE that I am once again surrounded by people who inspire me. Yes, it was uncomfortable for a little while, but I know that I belong here, I am good enough and I can do this. One thing is for sure – I always walk out a little taller with the sun shining on my face.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped into Evoke Fitness, I knew I was in for a life-changing experience. The atmosphere is positively charged with motivation and support, making it a place where personal growth thrives, and fitness goals become achievable. First and foremost, Mena and her team of trainers are incredible. They are not just trainers; they are coaches, mentors, and cheerleaders. Each member of the team brings a unique skill set, and their genuine passion for fitness and wellness is evident in every interaction. They are always willing to offer personalized advice, answer questions, and adjust workout plans to fit individual needs. Their encouragement has truly helped me push beyond my limits and believe in my own strength. I have made friendships with fellow members who are on their own fitness journeys. We celebrate each other’s achievements, whether big or small, and this camaraderie creates an uplifting environment that drives us to work harder. Group classes are always buzzing with energy, filled with laughter, and a spirit of friendly competition that keeps everyone engaged. These shared experiences foster a sense of belonging that extends beyond the gym. I can’t thank you enough Mena for always believing in me! Roxy

Fantastic experience: Mena at Evoke is amazing!!! She gets you going right away. I have been going to Mena at Evoke for almost 18 months. I started twice a week and bump it to 3 days week. I am lot stronger than ever. My golf game improved so much. She is not only a great trainer but also a very caring person. She does so much for so many people to make their lives better physically. She also makes it fun by changing up the exercises every week. I would highly recommend joining Evoke. This is review is by a person who never went to a gym in his life before Evoke. It is never too late:) Neil

Fantastic experience: Evoke Fitness was life-changing for me thanks to Mena Spodobalski. Her expertise helped me find confidence and passion for fitness. The positive mindset and physique change was evident in weeks. Mena's warm personality made the experience unforgettable! So if you are looking for a fitness experience that truly puts you first? Look no further than Evoke Fitness. Their dedication to client satisfaction and success is unmatched, and their expert trainers will help you unlock your full potential.

Fantastic experience: Joining Evoke Fitness has been life changing. I love the classes and the trainers! They are supportive and push me to do my very best. I feel better than I have in years. Thank you Evoke!!

Fantastic experience: Evoke Fitness is truly a life changing space! The trainers, high end equipment, and Evoke Warriors program are among the AMAZING things they have to offer. If you want to change your life with fitness and community, RUN to EVOKE!!

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best gym and trainers in town! Evoke has literally changed my life. The encouragement and support you receive to push yourself and accomplish your goals is incredible. Whether you’ve never been in a gym or your advanced in your training, Evoke will absolutely meet your needs. The atmosphere and people make you feel so comfortable. Couldn’t recommend Evoke more!

Fantastic experience: Best place to reach your fitness goals! Incredible trainers who care.

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in the area!

Fantastic experience: Becoming an EVOKE Warrior program at Evoke Fitness has given me my life back! I’m living with metastatic melanoma cancer and Type 1 Diabetes and I thought that my active days were over. The Evoke Warrior program has pushed me to trust my body again. My strength and balance have improved so much in just 8 weeks, and my confidence that I can try anything has returned. When I started this program 8 weeks ago I could only barely do 5 sit ups and 5 push ups on my knees. Today I did 22 sit ups and 22 straight leg push ups! I surprised myself. I am feeling strong, confident and alive. I’m loving my life because I am living again, thanks to Mena and her Evoke Warrior program at Evoke Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Everyone is supportive and encouraging. A positive place for all

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, knowledgeable and caring trainers. I have belong to other gyms in Reno and Evoke is by far the best.

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place! I have had the opportunity to work with all the trainers and they are amazing! They take their time to teach you to insure you are doing a proper work out and I love that they push me to do better and work harder!

Fantastic experience: Evoke is by far the best place to train. Mena challenges me in ways I have never been challenged before mentally and physically. You will never doubt your abilities to accomplish anything you dream of doing with health and fitness. She is incredibly caring and makes Evoke, the trainers, and all of the people who train there feel like family. I am so grateful and thankful to have found such a warm and welcoming facility and trainer. You won’t be disappointed. You are never too old to start getting into the best shape of your life!

Fantastic experience: There are a lot of gyms I like but not many compare to Evoke. I recently completed a six week challenge there and I got to see what a great place this is. My friend has gone and she talked about how great it was and I had to check it out for myself. I love group fitness classes and that’s definitely something they specialize in. They offer a variety of times for group classes and they accommodate all skill levels so there’s always something for everyone. Mena, Christine, Evven, Carlos and Sarah are all great coaches and push you in the best way. My only complaint is I wish that the patrons cleaned their own equipment, but other than that, there’s nothing wrong with Evoke. I’m so glad I found Evoke!

Fantastic experience: Mena and her crew of trainers are the best. The facility is easy to access, welcoming, clean and full of energy. It took me quite some time to get back into training and had many hesitations but it has been one of the easiest and best decisions I have ever made. Thank you Mena for all you have done and for making me part of the family. If you’re thinking of training, look no further!

Fantastic experience: Each training session with Mena makes for an overall better day! She listens, pays attention, and has more confidence in you than you may have! She not only makes you physically stronger, but I feel a mental gain as well. She is always willing to be flexible with her schedule and will take the time to discuss anything you need (such as nutrition, injuries, etc.). She is also less focused on time than she is focused on you finishing your workout. Not only is Mena dedicated, knowledgable, and fun… the entire Evoke community is wonderful. Everyone is supportive and I have met some new great friends there.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to Evoke since 2016, starting on the CrossFit side while now finding a happy medium between that and group fitness/personal training after training with Mena for the NPC Motherlode in 2020. I placed 4th overall in a stacked class and felt supported throughout the process and confident on stage, even as we had to do distance training due to Covid-19 gym closures. Workouts, meal planning and communication with Mena were clear and she was amazing at adapting workouts with the equipment we had in our garage. I plan to compete again after having children. I continue to train at Evoke because the community of the whole gym is first class; the trainers are well educated and knowledgeable while all the clients are extremely supportive of each other. The atmosphere is inviting and professional, and I believe there is a trainer for any persons goals. As long as Evokes doors are open, I will go!

Fantastic experience: Love it here! I always feel comfortable when I'm here and I love the trainers, they are all so nice and there for support to keep pushing and not give up. One of the best things that's come into my life.

Fantastic experience: Wow! Where do I start!??! Mena and her Evoke team have been beside me, supporting any goal I set my mind to, through strength training! From fitness competitor to ultramarathoner - they have provided the structure, strength, and accountability I need. But there is a much larger and more important reason I recommend Evoke. They truly value health and fitness for all. They will meet you wherever you are in your journey to a healthier and more active lifestyle … and welcome you with open arms to the Evoke family.

Fantastic experience: Love Evoke Fitness! This gym is like a second home. Everyone is so friendly and happy to see you. It is great for everyone of all levels, all ages and all body types. Whether you are male or female, there is a class or personal training that will fit your needs. Mena does an amazing job personalizing the workouts to match your ability. As a female, I never really got into lifting weights until I joined this gym. The weight training is superb and they really teach you the proper technique so you don’t hurt yourself. All the personal trainers are knowledgeable and helpful and are always close by if you need assistance. They also have all the tips for weight loss and healthy living. If you need help with a particular issue all you have to do is ask for help and they have recommendations. The facilities are really clean and they have all the cardio machines that you could ever want or need. I would definitely recommend you check it out if you are trying to get fit or trying to live a healthy lifestyle. They always say that your first class is free so why not give it a shot.

Fantastic experience: Mena and crew are amazing, they make working out fun. Each trainer is personable, knowledgeable and skilled. I thoroughly enjoy my time there.

Fantastic experience: I would have to say hands down that Evoke is one of the best gyms that I have worked out in! The trainers are very knowledgeable and compassionate. They know and understand your limits. They modify to your abilities and make it fun. I entered this gym very out of shape and overweight. Never once did I feel uncomfortable or unsupported. I would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone! And a true bonus is their kids camp! My girls love it and can’t wait to go back the next day!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love Evoke! It’s about Full Body, nutrition and goal setting. Evoke is like family. They are always checking on you and trying to support you. Thanks, Mena for everything.

Fantastic experience: Mena and the rest of the training staff at Evoke are next to none. I have been working out there since March of 2019 and I have never had a more positive experience at a gym. I didn’t know my way around the gym before and I was nervous about starting my fitness journey but The workouts are explained and you understand what muscle groups are being targeted. If you want to get into the best shape of your life, see Mena or any of their other top tier trainers! It’ll change your life!

Fantastic experience: By far the best place to go and workout. No judgment, no one making you feel inadequate. They are there for you. To truly help you and get you to your goals and sometimes push you past what you thought you could only do. The passion comes out every time you walk in. I would not feel the way I do without them. Physically or emotionally.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers and a wonderful and supportive atmosphere. I always feel better after a trip to Evoke Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I love Evoke Fitness, the trainers are very professional and tough but personal and kind too!! They take the time to learn about your limitations and work with you on any physical restrictions you may have, personalizing the program for each clients goals and fitness level!! I find working out at Evoke Fitness is motivating and I am working out in small groups which helps keep me accountable and it feels great cheering each other on!!

Fantastic experience: Fitness is a saturated market, yet EVOKE Fitness has stood out amongst the many private training facilities in the region. Owned and operated by an exceptional husband/wife team, EVOKE has established an energetic, and judgement-free space that allows even newcomers to feel as if they are 'home' . In addition, EVOKE offers a full range of training that can be tailored to your own personal fitness, age, skill level and personal goal(s). Stop by, meet Mena (Owner/Trainer) along with many other team members that can help get you to where you want to go!

Fantastic experience: Mena and her team are great! The workouts are always challenging and super fun. It’s changed my life and body for the better. Since starting at Evoke in April 2021, I get so many compliments and questions about how I got fit. I have worked out most of my life but I was doing it wrong for so many years. The EVOKE team helped me get it right and balanced. Everyone is so nice and it’s a really welcoming environment. I wish my scheduled allowed me to go everyday :)

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Evoke consistently for the past 4 years. I did two bikini bodybuilding shows that I placed in. I have trained mostly with Mena but have had the opportunity to train with a few of the other trainers there. They are all outstanding trainers, coaches and people. Mena has helped me reach my fitness and physique goals and has helped me maintain my figure. I would recommend Evoke to anyone who wants to start exercising and wants to learn how to eat in order to to get healthy and how to do it with success. I had worked out at other gyms and had dieted but had never been able to transform my body. I was skinny fat. I am skinny strong now. Thanks to Mena. I also want to add that you are never too old to start. My 81 year old mom has been training with Mena also. I am amazed at what she can do. Mena is so good at knowing what is too easy or too hard and she knows how to make people strong without hurting them. Your health is worth the money and your time. If you don’t have your health, you can’t travel easily, you can’t go and do things, you can’t hike or go on long walks, and sometimes you can’t even work. I’ve been in this place and it is not a good place. Evoke is my happy place. And so is Hawaii:-).

Fantastic experience: Mena is amazing! She rotates workouts meeting each client wherever they are in abilities and goals. She is MOTIVATING, always always KIND, SKILLED, and she’ll get you moving safely toward any goal you are setting! She has a great team and group of clients who enjoy getting into their regular sessions at Evoke. Many of us have worked out with Mena for years. It is a sunny, clean, well-equipped equipped facility. We have a fun every time we step through the door!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out with Mena for 12 years now and every time I go back, I am met with a genuine smile and her entire team is always so knowledgeable and compassionate. It really feels like a family while in the gym. I love it!

Fantastic experience: Very nice and thoughtful people.

Fantastic experience: I am a part of this inaugural group and it has been life-changing. I learned that I am NOT what I’ve been through. Mena and her staff are fantastic. They worked us, encouraged us and worked us some more. I struggled and overcame obstacles with a team who are now lifetime friends. I recommend this program for anyone who’s had to deal with the trespasser called cancer. I was built up in body, mind and spirit. I am an Evoke Warrior!

Fantastic experience: This place changed my life!! It’s very accommodating and the trainers are AMAZING!! If you are looking for a community-feel gym this is the gym for you! Great atmosphere and everyone supports everyone.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is required to wear a mask. The training is great and support for success. The sanitation requires are excellent.

Fantastic experience: At Evoke I have found my family. From the awesome trainers to the people that you always see at class, everyone is so encouraging. I may grumble about going to the gym and the workouts are challenging but I feel so amazing afterwards. There are no muscle heads or intimidated people at this gym. Everyone is so friendly and supportive no matter what you look like. I have been going to Evoke since April and the nutrition plan and workouts have changed my life. I plan to be a lifer! Thank you Mena, Lisa and team!

Fantastic experience: An amazing positive gym. The trainers are amazing. They will get you to the healthy goals you are looking for.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym experience in the Reno/Sparks area. Fun, challenging and a family atmosphere like no other!!! Their 30 Day Body Challenge is a great program that gets you in shape and you get to celebrate at the end with a fun party/get together. Not only is there a top notch staff but the clients are amazing as well!!! Love this place!!!

Fantastic experience: Best trainers in Reno

Fantastic experience: Iain is the best personal trainer. Keeps me challenged and fit.

Fantastic experience: Best Gym, Best Staff.... My heart and health belong to Evoke!!

Fantastic experience: This is the best place in Reno If your looking to get into shape. They have some of the most caring people in the industry. Mena and all the evoke staff have changed my life. I feel like I'm family there. With Mena and her team at evoke There is nothing you can't accomplish. Love love love this place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great trainers. It's tough and challenging every single workout, and it it overall a fun environment to workout in. Plenty of equipment and it is all in good condition. Recommend to anyone who is looking to get healthier and stronger.

Fantastic experience: Why do I post a selfie every time I'm finished with a workout? For many reasons: 1). First and foremost to thank my awesome trainer Evven Carrion for all of her hard work with me. She's the best and I love and appreciate her and all that she does for me. I like giving credit where it is due! 2). To give a shout out to Evoke Fitness, the awesome gym where I train at. It's like a family and I wouldn't be where I am today without them! Again, I like to give credit where credit is due! 3). In hopes that I will inspire others to get off their butts and get active. It's good for you, it keeps the doctor away, and prevents medical problems down the road. If I can inspire just one person to get active, I've done my job! 4). I'm passionate about fitness. I hope some of that rubs off onto others and helps them to chase their goals and dreams too. 5). To keep track of my progress and to remember how far I've come. Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride! All of it. The highs and the lows. Just my thoughts on this Thursday morning. Everyone have an awesome day and always remember to smile! ✌❤‍♀️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I am finishing my second 30 day body challenge and have never felt better! You will see results pretty quickly, and you'll sweat like nowhere else!

Fantastic experience: This post is for the rest of the 45+ year olds (and younger) out there that think they can't get in shape. You know who you are...you are the "I am stuck with the body God gave me" and/or "I just don't have the time to spend on eating right and working out" folks. I am calling bullshit on that right now. I finished my evaluation from my Spring 2016 30 Day Body Challegne this morning. I had decent results (lots of inches lost around my body...even on those stubborn legs and arms... and 3 additional pounds lost) and happy that I am still making progress. Since the beginning of January, I have lost 10 pounds and, more specifically, a bunch of fat. And really, if I am ever really happy with the way I look I am probably no longer breathing...so there's that. In addition to the weight/fat loss, I have gotten much stronger. I was amazed that I was able to do 33 push ups in one minute today (on my toes..no more girly push ups for me!). Ok, the last 5 or so were ugly...but to Molly's credit...I was done but she reminded me that I still had time left and to keep going. Additionally, I did 52 sit ups in a minute...but that was far less impressive based on past sit up performance. Thank you Evoke Fitness and the Evoke Trainers... Lisa Castaneda, Mena Spodobalski, Molly Matzoll, Evven Carrion, Tyler Simper, Dana, and Ian for putting on such a great 30 day body challenge. It is absolutely amazing how much you can improve your body in just 30 days! I can't wait to see everyone at the celebration tonight! By far the best fitness facility in Reno. The trainers get to know you and understand how you and your body works. They build a work out and eating plan that is customized to meet your needs. They spend the time to know you...to really know you. They have helped me get into the best shape of my life! They are uniquely suited to help you reach your fitness goals. You can't go wrong with Evoke Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I'm not a fan of most gyms, but I love the group classes and the body challenge! The class schedules are flexible enough to fit my busy schedule. The trainers focus on so much more than just weight loss - overall fitness, strength, and feeling good about yourself. I feel good knowing I'm losing inches and fat, while gaining muscle, even if the scale isn't moving. Love the smaller class sizes outside the challenges, but the large classes are fun too.

Fantastic experience: If you have ever WANTED to be the kind of person who is addicted to working out, but have never found the motivation or passion COME TO EVOKE!!! The trainers possess all the motivation and passion and it is contagious!!! So much enthusiasm and support you won't be able to stay away!!!

Fantastic experience: Evoke is an excellent gym here in Reno and well worth a look for anybody looking at starting a fitness regimen. Some gyms are intimidating with the super fit throwing weights around and I'm standing in the corner like it's a 7th grade dance because I am too scared to do the weight that is right for me because of all these crazy fit people in front of me. Evoke isn't like that. While there are several people here who are indeed super fit, they tend to have gone to Evoke for a while and understand where you are because they've been there. The people who go to this gym are some awesome people and they make showing up day after day fun and exciting. The trainers here are key as they understand how to motivate people and they do so very well, creating great workouts that have plenty of variety day to day that you don't feel bored. They are also well aware of nutrition and how best to manage that aspect of getting fit, providing excellent advice. The Gym itself is a clean place that has everything I need to get fit and achieve my goals. If you are looking for a place to transform yourself, get in shape, train for an event, or meet great people, look no farther than Evoke. Highly recommended for any one in Reno.

Fantastic experience: I have been to several gyms in the area and none compare with Evoke. All the trainers are exceptional and become like family. They push you in a positive, encouraging way. I have done several of their signature 30 Day Challenges and have been surprised at how much fun I have had, as well as the phenomenal results. The facility itself is really nice, but it is the team of wonderful trainers that make Evoke such a great place. I feel like a family member for life!!! Thanks Mena and Team!!! You keep me looking and feeling great!!!

Fantastic experience: I have attended several of EVOKE 30 Day Challenges and each time the trainers at EVOKE have been consistently kind, attentive and professional. EVOKE provides a safe environment to focus and achieve your personal health goals. I love that each group class provided is a different routine and it really keeps you motivated to see "what we'll be doing next?" I'd like to send a shout out to Mena and her whole team a BIG THANK YOU and I highly recommend this facility for not only group classes but for all the services this facility provides. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Reno area. Spelizes in semi private fitness classes. At Evoke you can find people that can help you to reach your fitness goals from the very basics to body fitness competition. They offer Pilates, spinning and my favorite is every 4 months "the original body challege" True changes happening, no miracles offered! They lead you to make the real changes by making good eating/healthy choices and feel the pleasure to see the results after working hard and effectively on your body. They inspire you and make you feel good. Positive environment. It has a little kids area where you can leave your child while you workout, so no excuses allowed!

Fantastic experience: Mena is awesome. She's kicking our butts to get us into shape. Think she is awesome and will love her more when we get those beautiful bodies.

Fantastic experience: I came into my first 30-Day Challenge in fall 2015. Wow, it was intense -- and effective. Saw a significant change in body fat percentage. I am in my second Challenge now. I am using weights twice as heavy (sometimes!) as the first round. Push ups, sit ups? Yep! Here's the thing: whatever level you come in at, people support and cheer you on. It's about the journey. GREAT staff. Fantastic folks keep me pushing through. Try it!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a gym that doesn't mess around, this is it! My trainer is awesome and knows how to push me to my limits without over doing it. I love it! I'd go back a million times!

Fantastic experience: This place made us feel like we're family we love the atmosphere the people specially all the trainers they helped us a lot and taught us a lot about living healthy clean eating and they are always available to answer any questions you have about food, aches and pains everything related to health and if they don't know the answer they find it. Best gym, best atmosphere and best trainers!!!

Fantastic experience: Evoke is an exceptional training facility with motivational and inspirational trainers and programs. I've been working out with Mena for about a year now and I've noticed such a difference in my muscle tone and strength. I've always loved to mountain bike, hike, and ski, as well as other outdoor pursuits. I wasn't much of a gym person. But I know how important it is for me to keep my muscles and bones strong by varying my workout and using all parts of my body. In addition to personal training, I participated in the 30-day Fitness Challenge and was pushed to explore my limits of endurance and strength. Through this opportunity, I gained tremendous insight into myself and became even more confident in my abilities. From body builders, young college students, and serious athletes to people just starting to look into getting fit again, Evoke is the place for you. There is no intimidation and this is no meat market. What you get is love and support from people who really care. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to everyone.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a meat market or a contract-pushing franchise, Evoke isn't for you. But if you want to work with personal trainers who know their business in a friendly atmosphere, you'll feel right at home. They specialize in semi-one on one training and can help you reach whatever physical goals you have set for yourself up to and including fitness competitions! Love it here!

Fantastic experience: If you're like me, you want to be fit and healthy but something always gets in the way. Usually that something is motivation. Maybe you start out strong but quickly give up. Maybe you haven't found something active that you're willing to do on a regular basis. I realized that I can't and won't kick my own ass adequately. Even Olympians - arguably some of the most motivated and focused humans on the planet - realize they need trainers too. Having people who can see your work and honestly assess your effort and aptitude is essential for me. The encouragement from the trainers and variety of exercises along with the camaraderie of being in a group of like-minded individuals lends itself to an enjoyable way to be successful at getting and staying fit and healthy.

Fantastic experience: Best workout in town by far, if you want to get in shape, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! The trainers are positive and push you to be the best you! Even the people that attend her will help motivate you to go further then you ever thought possible.

Fantastic experience: First and foremost - Evoke is like going to a second home or favorite hangout spot. You always see friendly faces, you know people genuinely care about you and nothing stops you from breaking out of your comfort zone. I love participating in Evoke's 30 Day Challenges because they take me to levels I never thought possible. Push-ups on my toes? Done. Eight minute mile? Done. Shoulder presses with 20 pound weights in each hand? Done. Working out is suddenly fun, and always rewarding. Perhaps most importantly is that you work with people who love what they do and everyday it's clear in how they conduct their classes and engage with their clients.

Fantastic experience: Fun, knowledgeable and positive trainers. You never feel stagnant, with ever changing workouts you always feel challenged and productive. The 30 Day Body Challenge and the Fit 4 Life eating programs I feel put Evoke at the top for Gyms in Reno, NV.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome!!! You have spin, kickboxing, Pilates, crossfit, personal training and much more!!! If you need to switch your workout up from the mundane gym experience I highly recommend treating yourself by experiencing Evoke's way of fitness and fun!! And the staff is knowledgable, friendly and will always put a smile on your face! -Kim
