When the Naples Press reached out to feature Project Evolve, it honestly caught us by surprise. We’ve always kept our heads down, focused on serving our members and building something meaningful here in Naples. To be recognized by a local publication like this meant the world to us—and it gave us a moment to reflect on what we’ve built together.
Since opening in Naples, FL, Project Evolve has grown through word-of-mouth, real results, and community trust. We don’t run flashy ads or hype our programs—we just show up, every day, for the people we serve. Getting featured in the Naples Press was a moment of validation for our team and our members.

Why They Reached Out
The Naples Press was interested in how we approach fitness differently—especially for adults 40 and up. They saw something unique in our focus on small group personal training, and how we blend expert coaching with a strong sense of support.
What They Highlighted
We were honored to see stories from members like Lucy and Lisa featured. Their journeys—toning up, gaining strength, and finding confidence—really captured what makes this gym special. And we loved that the article emphasized our mission: to build not just stronger bodies, but a stronger community.
