FitEvo - Bellingham - Bellingham (WA)

3 /5 Diana Bartos: This review is about the members, not the gym itself. While the gym is great and everyone is nice, it’s increasingly frustrating not being able to access certain spaces or equipment to complete my training routines due to other members sitting on their phones scrolling for 5-10 minutes in between reps. I pay attention to how much they’re lifting because heavier weights do require longer rest time in between. 2-3 minutes max. It’s excessively beyond that, and incredibly rude to everyone else trying to complete their workout and go home. While it’s not the gym employee’s responsibility to babysit how people share equipment in a public space, it is on each of us as individuals to be mindful that other people around us want to use the same equipment. Get your face out of your phone if you’re using equipment. 7 minutes of scrolling instead between each rep is insane.

1 /5 Rachel Harrison: I canceled my membership but still somehow got hit with a $500 bill that was about to be sent to collections unless paid day of. This was only missing 3 months of payments (I thought my membership was cancelled). I WOULD STRONGLY WARN AGAINST ANY KIND OF MEMBERSHIP WITH FIT EVO. They are predatory and want to screw you over as much as possible. There IS a contract, there are HEAVY ($100+month) late fees, they make it an incredible pain to cancel or just to talk with anyone, and they will send you to collections right away with little to no heads up. If you have any issues with the payment, good luck getting in contact with anyone helpful. With the gym itself, it’s taken over by a large hoard of high school boys. So if you’re a high school boy, maybe this is a good fit. Otherwise, it’s a struggle to use the equipment you want and it’s an off putting vibe. Overall, gross membership policies, gross crowd of boys and the equipment is mid. Edit to their response: you say there was all this communication but I only got the one email which I replied to and showed up in person. The email only gave me 3 two hour time frames to come in person to handle the situation. So I showed up in person and the only person I was allowed to talk to about the situation said it was weird because there was absolutely no communication that she could see around the issue on my account from you guys other than that email. Talked to collections, there’s really nothing that can be done now that I’ve paid that money to them. It’s funny that the most communication I’ve gotten from you guys is when I posted a review about what happened. Y’all have lost a law suit around your policies with sending people to collections already, y’all know it’s messed up and continue screwing people over. So for anyone considering a membership, don’t

1 /5 Alexandria Galvin: Management of memberships and that process is why I’m giving it 1 star. Staff and operational mngt seem pretty cool, gyms usually clean and they’re often donating stuff which is nice. But come time to change membership or cancel, they send you to an email which sends you back to the front desk and then both ghost you or give you ultimatums or say things that just don’t make sense and it a little bit feels like you’re trying to leave a gang. It’s ridiculous, save yourself headache and go with the YMCA.

5 /5 Kay: Went for the first time to do there pole dancing class . Hands down AMAZING the instructor Yolanda was the best! Will definitely be back next week!!
