A science-based fitness method that delivers results without wearing you down
Embrace Gentle Consistency ®
THE EVLO METHOD
No credit card required
Our workout formats
Complex compound lifts and long HIIT sessions can improve fitness, but they leave many injured or burned out.
If you’re looking for a training method that will be effective and still feel good, you’re in the right place.
Evlo’s exercise selection and structured programming ensures each muscle group gets proper stimulus without being overworked. This creates adaptation in your body without leaving you feeling overly sore and depleted.
We craft each exercise with an understanding of how angles of resistance will load your muscles.
We only hire Doctors of Physical Therapy to teach classes, as it takes a deep understanding of physics, muscle function, and joint mechanics to plan and instruct our classes.
Science, not trends
OUR philosophy
Avoid wear and tear with exercise selection that keeps you in the game
Joint-Friendly
Just follow your schedule to hit each muscle group with all new weekly classes
No Guesswork
What makes us different
I started Evlo with a clear vision for a science-based fitness program that drives fitness results without compromising joint or hormonal health.
As a former physical therapist, I worked with too many patients who were broken down from their fitness routine. They could squat twice their body weight but couldn’t run around the yard with their kids without knee pain.
I dealt with my own history of chronic pain from aggressive fitness routines. I used to think exercise needed to leave me in a pool of sweat (completely exhausted) to be effective.
Heavy squats and overhead presses or long bootcamp classes felt horrible on my body. Pilates and yoga always felt better, but they weren’t enough to drive physical change.
So I wanted to create a method based on the latest literature around building muscle, but that didn’t leave me feeling broken down.
Evlo is that method. My dream and vision is that Gentle Consistency™ becomes the norm in the fitness industry. That we see exercise as a tool to build us up, not break us down.

DIANA
I adore this program! It is the only app I've found that checks every box - I know my muscles will be worked evenly and in a timely manner, using moves that are comfortable. Cardio is scheduled in. Rest is scheduled in and actively encouraged!
LAURA
The membership is really worth it. These workouts are perfect for someone recovering from burnout and I genuinely enjoy them! I also noticed I don't push myself that hard when I am on my own. I am building muscle and listening to my body.
STEPHANIE
Evlo creates a perfect fitness schedule for someone with PCOS (I do 5 days with cardio); there is just enough cardio, but not too much to mess with my already messy hormones. I love their whole approach and it's been very healing for me.

EMMA
I've been using Evlo for a few weeks now and have been loving it! I came from doing intense cardio based (HIIT) classes 6 days a week for an hour plus feeling I had to restrict and sprinkle in even more cardio throughout the day to feel my best.
CHriSTy
I've been doing Evlo consistently for about 4 months and I've really noticed a difference in my body - I feel stronger and I don't feel as exhausted or fatigued. Love the team and how much knowledge and effort they put into this. Evlo is so worth it!
JEN
Life changing! I've been doing Evlo consistently for 18 months and I can honestly say I've never stuck to a workout program for this long. My form has drastically improved and my muscle definition is the best it has ever been!

Love love love Evlo! If you're thinking of giving Evlo a try, definitely go for it. I wasn't sure it would be effective because it was so different than my previous cardio heavy workouts, but I'm stronger, leaner, and calmer than I was before starting.
TIFFANY
As an avid fitness junkie all my life, this is finally a program that grows muscle AND respects my joints. Led by physical therapists, classes are effective & fully customized to your needs. Every class feels like a personal training session.

How Evlo will change your life
Frequently asked questions
Is music played during class?
We’ve got you covered. Choose from a list of genres to get access to popular music played directly over classes. Adjust the volume of both the music and the instructor to find your perfect sound.
What equipment will I need?
To make workouts effective from the comfort of your own home, investing in equipment is an important part of the process. Here is the list of equipment we recommend to get the most out of your Evlo workouts.
Assortment of weights (beginner’s could start with 3lb, 5lb, 10lb dumbbells)
Chair
Small Pilates ball
Pillow
Stool
Gliders
Resistance bands
Access to a wall
Will I need to do cardio on the side?
We believe cardio is “overdosed” in the fitness industry. We have short and optional low- and high-intensity cardio classes that can be built into your schedule. In addition to the workouts, we recommend low-intensity cardio (like walking) 10-30 minutes most days of the week.
Can I cancel any time?
You can cancel any time within your 14-day trial without being charged. You can also cancel before your next billing cycle to avoid being charged for the following month. Once you cancel, you will have access to the membership for the rest of your billing cycle.
How do I know which classes to take?
When you sign up for Evlo, you’ll be taken through an onboarding assessment. Your homepage will populate based on this assessment, signaling which classes to take on which days. No more guesswork or endless scrolling.
How long are the workouts?
Class length will depend on how many days a week you prefer to workout. The 3X per week tracks feature two ~60 minute classes and one 35 minute class per week. Classes on the 4X and 5X per week tracks are all 35 minutes.
Choose an Evlo Mini (20 minutes or less) if you need to grab a shorter option.
I have an injury. Is Evlo safe for me?
We pride ourselves on creating classes that offer lots of modifications so you feel safe and successful. However, because we can’t evaluate your individual needs, please get clearance from your doctor or physical therapist before starting our program.
Is Evlo prenatal and postpartum safe?
We always recommend getting clearance from your medical provider if you are pregnant or postpartum.
Once clearance has been given, we have expertly-curated programs to guide you through your entire pregnancy and to aid in a gentle return to fitness postpartum (beginning as early as two weeks).
What if I just want to lose fat?
Evlo is a muscle building fitness platform. We include nutrition programs and guides created exclusively by Registered Dietitians to assist with body recomposition (gaining muscle while losing fat) if that is your goal. However, if your goal is to just lose fat without gaining muscle, Evlo may not be the program for you.
What if I’m new to lifting?
Evlo is for people at all different fitness levels. You will begin your journey with Evlo in our Foundations program. This program features more in-depth form breakdowns and education at an easier to follow pace. You can stay in this program for as long as needed before transitioning to our weekly tracks.
