Best gym in Portland hands down! More than a gym in fact, full arsenal of doctors / nutritionists / acupuncturists / chiropractors and more. Awesome staff all around. Plus the latest and greatest equipment. Only Altitude room with a climbing wall in the country. All your fitness, training, rehab, health needs in one spot.

I worked with Dr Sanatan Golden following a fall that resulted in left knee effusion and partial tears to the ACL and PCL. As a runner and triathlete, this was a devastating injury that I thought was the end of my running days. But Sanatan assured me that through mindful and dedicated physical therapy work, I could lace up my shoes again. It was a tough and had highs and also some lows, but by working through the program, in 6 months I was not only running again, but was able to fulfil a major goal of competing in the Olympic Triathlon Age Group National Championships. This felt out of the realm

I’m an active guy who’s managed several chronic issues over the years with chiropractic care and massage. Although these treatments provided temporary relief, I became quite discouraged with my lack of progress in reaching a sense of normalcy. That is, until I was referred to Dr. Sanatan Golden at Evolution Healthcare & Fitness who changed my life! Dr Golden’s approach to uncover my issues at their root cause and his explanation and instruction to create change have been unparalleled in my experience. I felt stronger, more knowledgeable and had a greater sense of hope with each visit. There

Evolution is an amazing place! I have been seeing Dr. Sanatan Golden for all of my physical therapy needs since I was a kid. Throughout the many soccer injuries he has helped me recover from, he completely changed my life when I went to him with a torn ACL in my left knee. His program that was centered around strength and compound exercises taught me, a then 16-year-old with no hope for full recovery, that getting back to full strength on and off the field was possible with strength work. After working with him for sixteen months in the gym (before and after ACL surgery), I was fully confident

I came to Evolution with an IT band issue and Dr. Sanatan Golden worked wonders on me. His full diagnostic helped isolate my pain point, his therapy smoothed things out, and his workouts set me up for healthy habits and strength going forward. I'm happy to recommend him and Evolution to anyone in need of solid PT.

I'm an ultrarunner with a calf issue and had a great experience working with Sanatan Golden at Evolution. I was at a point where my injury had "healed" about as much as it could on it's own, but had not fully cleared up or gotten back to original strength/previous performance. Sanatan's approach helped me learn so much about the ways my body's physics/mechanics work as a whole, and the systemic weaknesses issues beyond just my calf that were in play. His approach was eye opening, and I've now got the tools to improve my core, posture, glutes, breathing; a whole host of things I've suspected were

I highly recommend Evolution Health care & Fitness. I slipped 3 discs and had sciatica down both legs. It was either surgery or possible prevention. Prior to Evolution, I dealt with Rebound(Strongly do not recommend)..
It hurt to stand, hurt to sit and had daily chronic pain 24/7. I worked with Kelsey Woodland(Chiro) for months constantly evaluating and improving my day to day tolerance. We tried different techniques, stretches and strength training to help re-position my slipped discs and relieve my sciatica. I was able to graduate from light stretches to low impact body weight exercises with

I had my share of poor chiropractic care in the Portland area. Most of my experiences made me feel like I just participated in an assembly line; 10-15min in-and-out the door. Thankfully I stumbled upon Evolution. Upon arrival I could not turn my head to the left past 15 degrees. My first chiropractic visit with Kelsey lasted about 90min and was a comprehensive assessment of my entire body. I walked out being able to look over my left shoulder; something I hadn’t been able to do for months. I can’t recommend her enough. Also- she’s hilarious. It’s always a good time under her care.

Been here a couple of times for small group training. I actually think this is the most awesome facility I have yet visited. Though I’m not the biggest fan on participating in group training because I have hard time focusing with so many people around me doing the same thing, I still think their group training and trainer does a really good job. If I could train here all the time, I totall. Lol 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

There is no other Fitness / Healthcare facility like Evolution. This place has 1st class equipment, friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging staff, and most of all customers who are serious about self growth and achievement. That altitude room is the WOW! You haven’t exercised until you’ve done it with a positive altitude!

Dr. Farra and his team are not only top notch professionals, they are amazing people and friends. Their goals are about health, efficiency, and functionality, not just looking good. With a combination of sports medicine and physical training, they will ensure your longevity. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else to train your body.

Love this place, and I hate gyms. Clean, friendly, comfortable, approachable and very responsive to feedback or inquiries. I use the Altitude Room and it has helped me get up many tall mountains. I hear that… it’s also great training for sea level activities (boring!). Don’t know what else to say - go in for a free session. (Tell ‘em I sent ya and maybe I’ll get a free hour too!)

This place is fantastic. It is not your typical gym, it is definitely one of a kind. The people here are down to earth and come to train to play outside. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Ive run into people on international mountains that train in the facility as well- small world! The facility is well taken care of and the equipment is fantastic. Personally, I use the altitude room, but the whole place looks great and is up to date. Such a unique place- we are lucky to have it in Portland!!

Sanatan Golden and the team at Evolution were essential partners in my journey to the Boston Marathon. Over the last four years, including 4 BQ attempts, multiple injuries and culminating in a successful 3:22 Boston finish, Sanatan has been with me every step of the way.
He has made me a smarter, healthier athlete, prepared for the challenges ahead. Sanatan isn't about quick fixes. He'll get you through the immediate pain but inspire you to work hard to get stronger in the right places to avoid injury and achieve your fitness goals.
Sanatan is always on the cutting edge of physical therapy techniques
