Evolve Fitness Clearwater: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I purchased a Groupon and knew I was hooked within the first week! My husband and I joined 2 weeks later :) The coaches are so great....patient as you're new and encourage you to challenge yourself as you get stronger. I've lost 15 pounds since I started 6 weeks ago and continue to see my body change in response to the challenging workouts. I'm stronger and faster than I've ever been and know there's more to come. CMR helped me find my inner beast and have fun doing it. The coaches and the members have developed a great little community of friends, from beach WODs, to beach days, and competitions to scavenger hunts, we have so much fun! CMR is where you want to be!
Fantastic experience: This box/gym is amazing. I have been going for 6mos and have seen results like no other workout I have ever done. The coaches are awesome and super helpful. The atmosphere with the other members is very encouraging and welcoming. I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. Wahoo, I love CMR!
Fantastic experience: I moved to Clearwater in March and joined within the first week of living here. I didn't know anyone before my move and was nervous to join a new gym. I had never been a member of a CrossFit affiliated box before but had always wanted to try it. I researched a lot of the other boxes in the area and after a few emails to various coaches I instantly felt the most welcomed from Manta Ray. I was beyond nervous and slightly intimidated for my baseline meeting with coach Chris. After my one on one I immediately joined! I came back later that day for my first WOD with coach Sebastian and so began my obsession/love for CrossFit! The coaching at Manta Ray is amazing. Not only are Coach Chris and Coach Sebastian fantastic motivators, they are also super knowledgeable about the sport and Olympic lifting. Manta Ray is more than just a gym but also a community. The friendships and relationships I have made with other athletes since becoming a member are one of the best parts of this sport. Because of CrossFit and Manta Ray I am a happier and healthier person. Prior to joining I wasn't nearly as motivated to workout, I wasn't sleeping as well at night and my diet was...well let's just say Chipotle and beer were a pretty typical meal for me. I have lost weight and inches while gaining muscle in just 5 months of hard work and dedication. I am becoming a healthier, stronger, and overall better person everyday because of Manta Ray! If you are looking for a serious change in lifestyle and are willing to be challenged and put in the hard work I highly recommend checking out CrossFit Manta Ray!
Fantastic experience: I bought a groupon back in February to try out Crossfit. I was very nervous at first, but Crossfit quickly became my new obsession! Coach Chris and Sebastian are wonderful. The workouts are HARD but you leave feeling amazing, plus they're super fun! The space is very clean and I love being able to track our progress on their computer! The best part about CF manta ray is the community! I have made so many amazing friends who are so motivating and encouraging. I am SO happy to workout everyday at this box. I definitely recommend Crossfit Manta Ray for newbies or seasoned cross fitters alike!
Fantastic experience: Manta Ray has a great team! The coaches are awesome and so are the people you workout with. Everyone is super encouraging and help push you through the workout, but not past your limits. I love the group mind set because while it's an individual workout, we are a team. I have made huge jumps in my abilities all while staying safe. The coaches watch and make sure your form is right so there are no injuries. Crossfit Manta Ray is a great place!
Fantastic experience: Chris and Sebastian are the best, they have created a very welcoming environment where everyone pushes and is supportive of one another. When I started at the beginning of this year (February) I hadn't seriously worked out in over two years, I weighed 230lbs and had no energy. After taking a few weeks off after the groupon ran out I decided that I was going to make a change. CrossFit Manta Ray and the community that Chris and Sebastian have built there helped me change my life. I am down to 187lbs and have never felt better or stronger. My energy is always through the roof and I look forward to heading to the box everyday. Thanks to Chris and Sebastian for helping me get to where I am today.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Crossfit Manta Ray for over 6 months now and it has definitely been the most life changing experience for me. I not only feel so much better but I aspire to do so much better inside and outside of the gym. The coaches are amazing! Both Chris and Sebastian are great instructors and they genuinely want to see you thrive! I owe a lot my progress to myself but to them as well. I learn something new every class and appreciate their patience as I continue to work on my form and etc. so that I can become the best version of me.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place to be inspired and achieve what you never thought possible then this is the place! Coaches and community are beyond compare. Once you walk in the doors you will never want to leave! Joining this community has been a transformational experience - when you don't make your health and fitness a priority for many, many years it can be difficult to know where to start. The coaches are always positive and encouraging, and really take the time to insure movements are done correctly, safely and consistently... their motto "Ability is Limitless" is truly how you will feel!! There is still much to do but I feel better now than when I was in my 30's! We feel so lucky to have found this community - it is now a family affair as our daughter is in the Crossfit Kids program - just can't say enough how positively Cross fit Manta Ray has impacted our life, and our family's health and overall well being.
Fantastic experience: My past 2 months with EFC have been amazing! The coaches truly care about their members and want to see them succeed. They are all very knowledgeable and are always offering modifications for all fitness levels. In my short time training here I can now squat without back pain, I've improved my posture and core strength and I am consistently challenged with every workout.
Fantastic experience: Naturally there are busy hours but overall you can stay moving from machine to machine pretty fluidly, always plenty of free weights. I would consider Evolve Fitness Clearwater one of the higher end gyms when it comes to total package.
Fantastic experience: When I joined Evolve about 3 years ago, I could barely run 400 meters and had no idea how to do any of the barbell lifts. Now I can run a mile in under 8 minutes and enjoy the weightlifting more than I expected. I've appreciated all the guidance and tips the coaches give along the way and the accountability to keep me coming in. It's a great gym for all skill levels!
Fantastic experience: I finally found my home (gym) away from home! They really take the time to first understand where you currently are in your fitness journey and then from there, help you develop a plan to get you where you want to go. They focus on your overall health, not just the workout piece. They help with nutrition and also help you to fix any injuries you may have. I came to Evolve with knee and shoulder pain, but thanks to them, that pain has subsided greatly and my mobility and range of motion and strength have become light years better than before. Since I started with Evolve early in 2022, I have lost 15 lbs, 3% body fat and have gained muscle. All of the coaches are extremely supportive as are the other members-they all truly just want to see you succeed and get better! I’m so glad I finally found the right place for me and I can’t wait to see where I’m at in the next year. I will certainly continue to “Evolve” as an athlete (yes I do feel like an athlete again) and as a person as long as I continue to be a member at Evolve Fitness. The facility is awesome as well. Most of the gyms I have been to around the PH/Clearwater area are very small and you feel crowded, especially when working with barbells, but at Evolve you have plenty of space to do your work. Do yourself a favor and come check this place out-your future self will thank you!! Thank you Katie, Tommy, JR and John for all of your help and support and I look forward to continuing to put in the work to hit all of my fitness goals!!
Fantastic experience: I am so happy I found this place. 6 sessions in with Coach JR and I couldn't be more in love with it. I found this place and met with Tommy and chatted about interests and goals (or lack there of) & honestly went in without much faith in it, much less myself. I HATED trying to work out and never felt good about anything I tried and I hated SWEATING. After chatting with Tommy, I actually got excited about it ( also terrified but F it lol) and decided to dive head first into 1 on 1 training sessions. I love the environment. Vibes are great. Tommy and JR have such great energy and other coaches (I don't even know their names yet, sorryyyy!) always make a point to acknowledge me and say hello/see ya! I never had much belief that I could be a person that was consistent with fitness even if I wanted but joining this gym is everything I hoped for and more and is exactly what I needed. Tommy was encouraging and motivating from the first meeting and same with JR. I have anxiety and Panic disorder and was really concerned (when I get my heart rate up and sweaty, especially in public or social settings, my body tends to think I'm about to have a panic attack and they can come on very quickly) but they both were comforting and eased mind when I expressed that this is an issue for me. JR is truly a breath of fresh air and takes my awkward and, lately, pessimistic attitude (lol) in stride and I always leave feeling great physically and mentally, major shift in mindset, and excited to come back. I feel stronger already, I enjoy my workouts and am learning to enjoy a good sweat If I could come in every day, I would. Best decision ever. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I LOVE THIS GYM! I have been coming to this box for about two years. I have tried all kinds of different gyms but once I got here, I knew this was it. I was looking for more weight lifting and had heard about CrossFit. I was slightly intimidated bc I have also heard CF boxes can be cliquey. This box, the coaches specifically, are so encouraging and welcoming! They are always there to let you know you can do it! They help you to have great form and make sure you are doing each workout correctly. I have grown much stronger and have even started a personal training regimen added in to my regular workouts. They have it all. A positive gym atmosphere, great workouts w some cardio days, and personal training in both weightlifting and health. Thanks Evolve!
Fantastic experience: All I can say is I wished I would’ve joined sooner!! I was always slightly nervous with gyms. Even more with the thought of CrossFit, the worry of “fitting in” and being good enough for classes. But this place quickly showed me I can come as I am and I’ll have a group of people I’d get to call friends rooting for me and helping me reach my goals. Everyone is extremely friendly, fun to be around and makes me feel the most comfortable I’ve ever been in my own skin. I wish I would’ve joined this place sooner. Best decision I made for myself!
Fantastic experience: I joined EFC when it was CrossFit Manta Ray in 2018 and have been addicted ever since. 6 years ago, I was 50 pounds heavier, could not jog for 30 seconds without keeling over, would have back pain just from sitting on the floor, and "hated" working out. Today, I'm happy to go have fun at the gym 5-6 days a week, working towards my goals with the very best community of people. I'm stronger, faster, less shy/anxious, have a normal body fat % for the first time in my life, and have kept my previously high cholesterol levels in the green because of this gym. Evolve is for people of all ages and abilities, and if you have any previous injuries or pain, the coaches are amazing personal trainers and nutrition coaches as well. No excuses, get in here and join us!
Fantastic experience: Truly amazing gym with motivating coaches. Great at helping anyone from beginners to accomplished athletes stay safe and meet their goals whether competing in CrossFit, building strength and technique in Olympic weightlifting or just getting healthy and manage nutrition. Super inclusive of all skill and age levels. Been a member for 3 years and still love going to every class as it’s always changing and evolving.
Fantastic experience: I had an awesome experience with John doing some personal training sessions. I came in with multiple goals: 1) to train myself and 2) to learn some concepts about how to train others in prep for working as a part-time trainer. John did a great job of taking me through the sessions and also teaching me along the way. He even went the extra mile to advise me on my training applications. Would highly recommend personal training with Evolve!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, super clean????
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym/family for a couple years and have nothing but the highest appreciation for their knowledgeable staff, focus on me as an individual, and positive motivation and influence on my life. Stop in for a class and see for yourself.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality My wife and I joined Evovle Fitness over a year ago and couldn’t speak highly enough about them. There is truly a family environment within the members and you’re always with coaches that care about you as an individual. They will help you meet your goals from fitness, to diet, to everything in between for your overall health
Fantastic experience: Super welcoming place to work out! Everyone is really friendly and you can tell the coaches really want you to be successful and are passionate about helping you meet your fitness goals
Fantastic experience: I started the 6 week challenge with no idea what I was getting myself into. All I can say is 4 months later the results have been amazing. It has truly been a life changing experience. The coaches are wonderful supportive people who have the knowledge that you need to get control of your body and health. I am truly grateful for my experience here and learning how to live a healthy lifestyle. My only regret is that I did not make this commitment years ago. Thank you Sebastian, Cory, John, and all the other members of the Manta Ray team for having my back and helping make me better everyday.
Fantastic experience: I hit a moment where I was finally ready to make a change in my diet, exercise, strength and weight. It ultimately was about being stronger. The rest fell into place. I came across Crossfit Manta Ray in my Facebook feed. I saw a trusted friend on their page. I was ready to step out of my comfort zone (more like jump into a different zone entirely). I made a commitment to them, but more importantly to ME. I fully participated in the 6 week challenge. Each day I went (nervous at first but totally open to the experience), I was welcomed and treated like part of the group each time. I felt I was part of the CMR family. The coaches are incredible, on many levels. Friendly, engaging, helpful, encouraging. They treat each person as an individual. Their skill level and teaching style is amazing to say the least. As a result of my 6 week challenge experience, both my husband and I joined the gym today. We are looking forward to this new part of fitness as well as lifestyle in our life. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart to each person at CMR. You have helped me change my life forever.
Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue. I first heard of CrossFit Manta Ray through a Facebook ad for their 6-week challenge. I enjoyed myself so much that I joined the box after the challenge ended. At CMR, form and function are paramount. Exercises are scaled to meet you at your level and coaches are dedicated to making sure you’re moving safely and efficiently, even when classes are larger. CMR contains phenomenal staff and clientele. The environment is supportive and friendly and each coach is concerned with helping you reach your goals. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and I’m excited to see what my fitness future holds.
Fantastic experience: Wow! I joined CF Manta Ray on a whim as part of the 6 week challenge. I had no idea what I signed myself up for. But after seeing terrible photos of myself - I had had enough and signed up that night. Now, I'm not one for working out, actually I kinda dread it and I was never into sports growing up. But Wow - the folks at Manta Ray are amazing. The camaraderie, support, nutrition plan, this place really is like no other. If you're considering a change in life style, want to get fit... reach out to these guys. Coaches Sebastian, Tommy, Corey and John were all instrumental in helping me meet my goal. Everyone will welcome you to class, and support you regardless of your fitness level. I can truly say the 6 week challenge is one of the best things I've done - just give it a try. I did it on a whim - and enjoyed it from beginning to end. Thanks CFMR!
Fantastic experience: The trainers and coaches at Manta Ray Fitness, Clearwater, Florida are fabulous. You can reach Sebastian, John, Cory for guidance throughout the 6 week challenge. They are truly caring individuals who will modify the program appropriately for participants of mature age, such as myself. However this did not slow my progress. I feel as strong as I had felt in my 20s. My clothes are now too big! The menu they supply members is delicious and easy to prepare. They will often check in with you to find out how you are progressing and they encourage you all the way! Follow their lead and suggestions and you cannot fail.They are attentive and their guidance is unwavering. Thank you Sebastian, Cory, and John.
Fantastic experience: I have been a part of CMR for over 5 years, and I am still constantly amazed of the environment the coaches create. This is not just a gym, but a supportive and caring community that pushes you every single day during each and every workout, past limits you never knew you could surpass! If you are looking for something more than just a great workout, come check us out!!
Fantastic experience: Let me just start by saying I used to feel very self-conscious about my own body image (and I still am, to a certain degree). But I realized I just wasn’t taking care of myself and finally decided I need to change that. I’m so glad I signed up for the 6 week challenge because it’s been life changing for me. Sebastian and the rest of the staff are the most supportive and encouraging group of people, and they always cheer me on and push me out of my comfort zone to help me keep improving and reach my weekly goals. Thank you guys so much for everything!
Fantastic experience: I want to thank Sebastian, Corey, and especially, John, for all the encouragement they gave us these last 6 wks., to help us get through the Crossfit Challenge! If it weren't for them, I don't think I could've or would've made it through. Losing 10 lbs and I went from almost 24% body fat down to 18% and gained 1 lb lean muscle mass(Amazing) Even though our workouts were with others at different levels of strength & most about 20 yrs younger, we were never left to feel like we couldn't keep up and they had adaptations to a couple of exercises I couldnt quite get my old body to do, with still strengthening my overall core. The high protien, low carb diet they gave us, never left us hungry after a meal and was fairly easy to prepare, without having a lot of additional cost to our grocery shopping. Everyone we met there was so nice and welcoming towards us it also was a big help having their support when I felt that I couldn't finish the 1000m row, they cheered me on and gave me the strength I needed to finish. I would definitely recommend Cross Fit Manta Ray to anyone of any age or ability to try this place out. THANK YOU, CMR Family --Janine
Fantastic experience: By far the best way to get fit. Very challenging and yet fun at the same time. Great coaches and very supportive peeps. I am very happy with me decision to join CrossFit Manta Ray.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member here since last year and love the gym! The coaches know what they are doing and will help you reach your goals. The people are great and make working out a lot of fun. Definitely recommend this gym!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Manta Ray is AWESOME. I started with the six week challenge (which i finished) This challenge altered my bad behaviors. I went from eating horrible to eating healthy, drinking no water to drinking plenty, sleeping 4-5 hours to sleeping 7. The challenge helped me stay focus and consistent with working out. It helped me lose weight and have more energy. The workouts are a lot of FUN and the staff is amazing. The coaches are knowledgeable and they take the time to ensure everyone have good form during exercise movements. The gym members are nice and encouraging. Its a great place to be for any fitness level. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME.
Fantastic experience: I enrolled in the 6 week challenge because, as I put on my enrollment form, I needed the kick in the butt. I got exactly what I needed. I feel I had a very successful 6 weeks, with the coaches at CrossFit Manta Ray playing a huge role in that success. The first morning I walked in the door, I was greeted by not only the staff, but by other athletes as well. This carried through every visit. The classes are set up with various tiers/exercises, based on your fitness level and abilities. On top of that, the coaches are quite active, quick to give you feedback, correct your form, or adjust whatever is necessary to ensure that you are completing the exercises successfully and safely. The meal plan is relatively easy to follow, though I tended to fall into a rut and eat the same things over and over, but that was largely due to my own tendencies, and the fact that I was still making meals for my family at home, separate from what I was eating. I was not hungry during the 6 weeks. Following the meal plan provided enough food/nutrition where I did not feel like I was on a starvation diet. Having been relatively athletic in my younger days, it does feel good to work back towards that state of being, and I have the 6 week challenge and staff at CrossFit Manta Ray to thank for that! For the record, I am a 45 year old male, who lost just under 27 pounds during the challenge. I'm proof you don't have to be young and fit to embark on this type of journey!
Fantastic experience: So happy to have found Crossfit Manta Ray! Knowledgeable coaches, motivating atmosphere, great equipment, and wonderful community. All the tools to better your performance! Thanks CMR!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been an athlete my entire life yet I have never felt so in tuned with my body as I have being here at CMR. I started out with the 6 week challenge and I was a little nervous since I stopped being active for a few years and really gained a lot of weight. I’ve always played sports and done HIIT training but nothing compared to CF. I came in with an open mind and really took it all in. Sebastian and Tommy really took their time teaching us the foundations of CF throughout the 6 weeks and starting off our workouts with a PVC pipe. They make sure that you understand the movements fully before you move onto weights. I’ve finished my 6 weeks and have been in regular classes for a little over a month. This box is truly a family. Everyone welcomes you with open arms and genuinely cares about you. All the coaches are super knowledgeable and really take their time studying your movements and making corrections if needed or adjusting the workout to your needs. My favorite thing about this box is that they focus on fundamentals and teach all athletes to listen to their bodies. It’s not about who can finish the WOD first or lift the most weight. Everyone is humble and there are all walks of life that come thru the doors. I’m getting stronger everyday with the help of the coaches teaching and pushing me and with the encouragement from the fellow athletes. I really never thought I would find a gym that I truly love going to and look forward to seeing everyone’s smiling face. I found my second home for sure.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! The coaches are awesome! They go out of the way to make sure you do things safely. The coaches take time to get to know you personally and will help you achieve your goals.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few CrossFit gyms and CMR definitely exceeds all expectations for a CrossFit gym. The coaches are very knowledgeable, the people are amazing and THE WORKOUTS are great!!!! So happy to be apart of the CMR family!
Fantastic experience: Been a member for almost 4 years and CMR is truly family! The support you get from the coaches and other members is AMAZING!! I've met some great people since joining and I couldn't be happier!!!
Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to be a yearly member with Manta Ray Crossfit and Fitness. The coaches are amazing, and everyone there is there to improve themselves and others. Terrific family. You should come in and take a look at the amazingness.
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about CMR. I joined their 6 Week Fitness Challenge in October and was immediately welcomed to the gym. The coaches are all very welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. The atmosphere there encourages everyone to be supportive and helpful to one another. It really is great. By following their 6 week program I was able to lose 23 pounds and 7.5% body fat. If you are thinking about joining a crossfit gym or doing the 6 Week Challenge, it is really a no brainer!!!
Fantastic experience: So grateful to be part of the Crossfit Manta Ray family! Coaches and members that care about you & your goals - personal attention at every corner. Great community!
Fantastic experience: I joined the 6-week challenge at CrossFit Manta Ray right after I moved down to the area in September. At the time, I wanted something different form what I have done in the past, and I was also looking for a community! I definitely found that at Manta Ray! As a Physical Therapist, I know quite a bit about how the body moves, how to train it, and how it recovers. When seeking out assistance to reach my fitness goals, I want to know if that person/gym/company is knowledgable as well. I was definitely impressed by every coaches knowledge, how they integrated warm-ups, and how they explained movements. I was in a fitness and mental funk while working in VA for a year. (Totally unlike me - probably the cold weather). I do credit CrossFit Manta Ray for helping me get back on track physically and mentally! The community that CrossFit Manta Ray has established is a reason in itself to go here! Don't just go to CrossFit, go to Manta Ray!
Fantastic experience: Dropped in today for the 6 am class with my girlfriend Alyssa. Sebastian was our coach and was awesome ran class smoothly start to finish. The whole place had a great community vibe to it and we enjoyed our class next time we are in town we will definitely come back!
Fantastic experience: Being a part of Manta Ray has been like being part of a family. I feel so comfortable and supported in my workouts. The coaches are full of knowledge and you can ask them anything about fitness, health, and nutrition. Highly recommend this gym to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough how amazing this Crossfit gym is . The coaches are amazing and go above and beyond to help you, the members are so nice it’s like one big happy family . I’ll never leave Crossfit Manta Ray best ever ‘
Fantastic experience: If you’re tired of quitting and starting over, or sick of fad workouts or yo-yo diets that don’t work and just being down, then give CrossFit Manta Ray a try! Don’t be scared or intimidated!! The coaches and staff are amazing, very thorough in their help and support, and will work with you regardless what physical shape you’re in. They will ensure you use proper technique to prevent injury. Absolutely zero judgement, just an energetic and positive environment where everyone encourages one another! The only person you are competing with is yourself. Warning: You will LOVE IT and feel completely and utterly pumped after every workout!! Just try it, I’m SO glad I did!!!!
Fantastic experience: After one class I was HOOKED! I go to Crossfit Mantra Ray next door and love it so I wasn't really looking to workout more but wow, those classes are so fun, challenging and give you an amazing workout. I look forward to every class and I'm meeting new amazing fitness friends, come in and sweat with us :)
Fantastic experience: Crossfit Manta Ray was a great box to drop into. The coach, Sebastian, was welcoming and the workout was great. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about dropping in if in the area and visiting.
Fantastic experience: Classes at Manta Ray Fitness are fun, exciting, challenging and always different. The coaches always greet you with a smile, push you thru a tuff workout and encourage you to do more then you thought you could do. This is what keeps me coming back for more classes!
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I are visiting Clearwater and have been doing drop-ins at CrossFit Manta Ray. The coaches are very friendly and welcoming, and the classes are excellent. The facility is spacious and well kept and they have all of the CrossFit equipment that you need. Be sure to check it out if you're in Clearwater and looking for a box to visit while you're here. I travel for business and have done drop ins all over the country. This one of the best that I've visited.
Fantastic experience: I purchased a Groupon and attended my first class this week. This was my first time doing crossfit and was a little nervous but I had a lot of fun. Our coach is very friendly and motivational during the workout. Would definitely recommend.
