Welcome to Evolve

Your trusted partner in premium commercial fitness equipment. We’re here to provide fitness facilities with equipment that doesn’t just meet expectations — it exceeds them.

Our Story


Founded by a fitness enthusiast at heart and an engineer by career, Evolve Industries was born out of a passion for improving the best pieces of equipment in your favorite gym. We saw a gap in the market for high-quality, durable machines with transparent pricing models and easy maintenance. Our mission is simple: to make building the gym of your dreams a reality – without the headaches.

Why Choose Us?

Our equipment is designed to make you stronger and tougher, just like the machines you’ll be using. Whether you’re outfitting a gym, a fitness studio, or a rehab clinic, Evolve Industries offers the tools you need to succeed.

Durability

Our equipment is built to last, even in the toughest gym environments.

Customer Care

We value our clients and treat them as partners more than a customer.

Innovation

We use exercise science and over a decade of lifting experience to create the best fitness machines on the market.

OUR TEAM

The team at Evolve is made up of the people you see at the gym. We aren’t selling to the community: we have been an integral part of the community. No more people who’ve never stepped foot in a gym trying to sell you something they know nothing about. You won’t hear from someone at Evolve who’s never touched a weight before. The next era of innovation is right around the corner.

Michael Carnahan

Founder & Engineer

Michael was a “skinny-fat” kid who went on to become a Division I athlete and team captain at Ohio State. After graduating with a degree in exercise science, he chased his dream of opening a gym in Charlotte, NC – until the world shut down.

But Michael didn’t just wait for the storm to pass. Instead, he earned his master’s degree in mechanical engineering and landed his dream job as a product development engineer for an industry leading gym equipment manufacturer.

After gaining invaluable experience, Michael took another leap – he left his job and founded Evolve Industries. His mission? To help the skinny-fat kid gain confidence, help Division I athletes dominate their competition, and support aspiring gym entrepreneurs in bringing their dreams to life.
