Train at Flagstaff's Best-Equipped Gym
Train on your own terms in a facility built for athletes, without the toxic gym culture.
Free weights, barbells, an Olympic platform, sleds, and Concept2 equipment. Open 5 AM–10 PM, seven days a week, with daily workouts available through our app.
A Facility Built Around Athletic Movement
We built EVOLVE’s facility with functional, athletic movement in mind — strength training, Olympic lifting, conditioning, and everything you need to train for Hyrox or Deka hybrid races, support running or mountain biking with real strength work, or just follow a solid program on your own schedule.
The space is designed around free weights and room to move, and we manage capacity to make sure it stays that way.
EVOLVE Flagstaff is one of the best-equipped free weight gyms in Flagstaff. Here’s what you’ll find:
- 15 squat racks with attached benches — barbell work, pull-ups, and more
- Over 20 barbells with a full range of bumper and iron plates
- Elieko Olympic lifting platform — one of the few in Flagstaff
- 40 feet of indoor turf with two sleds
- Seven Concept2 Ski Ergs, eight Assault Air Bikes, a Concept2 rower, curved manual treadmill, Peloton, and standard treadmill
- Full selection of dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, and plyometric boxes
- Torque Fitness functional cable machine
- Inclusive, gender-neutral restrooms
- Shower and water bottle refill station on site

Get Access
We'll show you around, set up your membership, and give you a keytag to access the gym.
Start Training
No long-term contracts or initiation fees. A great program to follow in our app, or train on your own.
We’re an independent, owner-operated gym. Our front desk isn’t staffed at all hours, so we ask that you reach out before stopping by. Fill out the form below or book a tour and we’ll get back to you within 1–2 days to get everything set up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have hesitations? Let’s talk about them.
What does membership cost? Are there initiation or cancellation fees?
$85/month. No initiation fees, no cancellation fees.
How do I join?
Book a gym tour or contact us, and we’ll be in touch within 1–2 days to answer any questions. We’re a small, owner-operated business — we don’t have full-time front desk coverage and aren’t always available for walk-ins, so reaching out first means we can actually be ready for you.
You can also call or text us at (928) 793-6237.

How do I access the gym after joining?
After joining, you’ll receive a key fob that unlocks the facility. Lights are automatic. You’ll also get access to our app, which you’ll use to reserve your gym time before each visit.
Do I need to reserve my time in advance?
Yes — all open gym members reserve their visits through the EVOLVE app. This is how we manage capacity so the gym doesn’t get overcrowded. It takes about 30 seconds and you’ll get in the habit quickly.
When is open gym available?
5:00 AM–10:00 PM, every day of the week. Open gym runs alongside classes, but we limit open gym spots more during peak class times to keep things comfortable for everyone.
A few planned closures to know about: we host the Beyond Masculinity community group on the third Tuesday of every month from 6:30 PM to 9 PM. We also close for 4-6 hours several times a year for cleaning and maintenance. We send advance notice of all closures via email and through the app.
How do I pause or cancel my membership?
Submit the pause or cancellation form least 7 days before your next billing date.
Membership pauses must be a minimum of 4 weeks or longer. When your membership is paused, you still have access to our app and virtual workouts so you can stay connected and keep moving at your own pace.
If you’re considering canceling due to financial reasons, please reach out. We offer discounted community support memberships and can work with you to find a better option.
If you do cancel, we completely understand and will always welcome you back!
What program comes with my membership?
You’ll get access to the daily EVOLVE Strong program — our flagship adult group strength and conditioning program. It’s the same programming our in-person classes follow: progressive, well-structured, and built for active adults. Each session includes strength work, resilience training, and a conditioning component. The app includes instructional video for every exercise and tracks your workouts over time.
Why choose EVOLVE over a larger commercial gym, especially at a higher price point?
Fair question. We do our best to keep our prices realistic for the Flagstaff community, but our membership is likely a bit higher than bigger commercial chain gyms.
Here’s a few reasons why we think EVOLVE still might be worth it.
Commercial gyms work well for a lot of people. But if you’ve spent time at one, you probably know the tradeoffs: crowded during peak hours, equipment that’s hard to find or out of order, staff who don’t know your name, and a culture that can feel indifferent at best.
At EVOLVE, we manage how many athletes can be in the gym at any one time — it’s never a free-for-all. The facility is kept clean and organized because we actually care about it, not because a corporate checklist says so. When members give us feedback — about equipment, cleanliness, programming, anything — we listen and respond. We’re not routing your concern to a regional manager. Your membership also includes daily access to EVOLVE Strong, our structured strength and conditioning program, through the app — so you always have a well-designed workout ready if you want one, without paying extra for it.
We’re also a small, locally owned gym run by people who live here and have real roots in Flagstaff. We believe that community matters. You can absolutely put your earbuds in and do your own thing — plenty of our members do. But if you want to be part of a close-knit community where the staff knows who you are, that’s also available here.
Whether that’s worth the difference in cost is a personal call. We think it is, but we’d rather you come take a look and decide for yourself.
Is an open gym membership right for me?
It depends.
Open gym works really well if you’ve been training consistently for a while, you’re comfortable designing and adjusting your own programming, and you don’t need much external accountability to show up. If that describes you, you’ll get a lot out of having quality equipment and space available whenever you want it. You also get access to the daily EVOLVE Strong workout posted in the app, so you don’t have to come in with a plan every time.
For most people, though, including a lot of people who are convinced they prefer training alone, a coached environment produces better results. The research on this is actually pretty clear: self-directed exercisers tend to train at lower intensities than they realize, are significantly less consistent over time, and pick up movement habits that are harder to fix later. That’s not a judgment; it’s just what tends to happen without regular coaching and external calibration. Read more about the benefits of classes in this artcle.
If you’re newer to the gym, returning from injury, not sure how to structure a workout effectively, or have found it hard to be consistent in the past, EVOLVE Strong classes, Foundations, or Personal Training are almost certainly going to get you where you want to go faster. If you’d like help figuring out the best fit, reach out and we can point you in the right direction.
Can your team help with designing a custom program for me?
If you want a plan designed specifically for your body, goals, and history, we offer Custom Program Design as a separate service. Programs are built by a Doctor of Physical Therapy and tailored to your movement assessment, training background, injury history, and schedule.
The starting point is a physical therapy initial evaluation, even if you don’t have a current injury. This session also helps us determine whether a custom program is the right fit, or whether a different approach would serve you better first.
A Different, More Inclusive Kind of Gym
Gyms haven’t always been welcoming spaces — and a lot of people have felt that firsthand. We take that seriously.
EVOLVE is built around an inclusive, non-judgmental environment. Our staff is genuinely approachable — no question about equipment or programming is a dumb one, and nobody is here to intimidate you or make you feel like you don’t belong.
We work to make the space feel safe and welcoming for people of all body sizes, backgrounds, and identities.
If you’ve had bad experiences in gym environments before, we’d encourage you to come take a look. It’s different here.
