‘Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.’ The words made famous by Yoda embody the ethos of EVO Rock & Fitness gyms. So much so, in fact, it’s the signature on every email owner Hilary Harris sends.
Harris’s brand even hosts youth programs for toddlers to further its mission of promoting climbing culture. With three gyms built, the brand is looking for investors to keep growing.
