About Our Founder
My name is Lauren-Rose Bagley
I am the founder of Evolve Fitness — and Evolve was born from a very personal part of my own life.
After becoming a mum, I found out my son needed to undergo open heart surgery. After his surgery, my mental health was extremely bad.
Exercise became my outlet. It gave me something that was mine, helped me rebuild my confidence and showed me just how powerful feeling physically strong can be for your mental health too.
As my own relationship with fitness grew, so did my passion for helping other women experience the same thing. I wanted to create somewhere that women could walk into at any age, size or fitness level and feel completely comfortable — somewhere they could learn how to train properly and safely, without judgement or intimidation.
That’s why I created Evolve.
For me, Evolve has never just been about losing weight or changing how you look. Of course, we want our members to get incredible results, but I want those results to become part of a lifelong change — feeling stronger, healthier, more capable and more confident in yourself.
And perhaps the part I’m most proud of is our community. Women come through our doors to exercise, but they find friendships, support, encouragement and somewhere they genuinely belong.
Evolve started because fitness changed my life. Now my passion is helping other women discover how much it can change theirs too.
