Evolution Trainers is the best place on planet Earth!
The trainers are both expert and caring. They push you, challenge you, and support you in just the right combination. The training environment is positive and inviting. When you walk in the door, it just feels good. Good people. Good energy. Good fitness. It is full of people who want to be there, who want to make themselves better, and who value expert guidance.
Steve Saxe is one of the many trainers at Evolution that I have worked with in small group classes over the past six years. He is attentive to my personal fitness needs, even in a group class setting. He cares about my progress and has been instrumental in me getting stronger, becoming a better athlete, and achieving my fitness goals.

I love working out with Ben at Evolution Trainers! He has kept me in great shape for 13 years. Over that time he’s been very attentive to both my goals and my limitations, so that I’ve managed to improve my cardio-vascular performance, overall strength and general mobility without getting injured or aggravating existing injuries. He’s also brought me back to my best fitness level after two surgeries. Our workouts are interesting and fun, and I leave the gym feeling that I’ve worked every part of my body. I value these workouts now more than ever because I believe they’re helping me stay vigorous and functional even as I get “older”. And Ben is a great guy – I thoroughly enjoy him as my friend as well as my trainer.

Several years ago, I was feeling a general malaise, call it low grade midlife crisis. Although my health, business and family life were all good, I didn’t feel like I was pursuing excellence. With Ashley’s help, I significantly changed my diet (and lost 22 pounds), pursued interval training to complement my twice weekly strength sessions, and established the routine of quarterly performance goals. I am a venture capitalist who is competitive, but was never an athlete. Through my training at Evolution, I feel like an athlete with quarterly performance goals in cardio endurance, strength and body composition. This has profoundly improved my life overall!

Before coming to Evolution, I would occasionally visit the local YMCA, leisurely visiting the various exercise machines for 30 minutes or so before walking a loop through the park and heading home. I thought I was working out. I’m pretty sure I never broke a sweat.
To be clear, I don’t love exercise and I was never an athlete growing up. When I stepped into a gym, I felt like an imposter. That fear actually kept me out of health clubs and workout facilities for years. But from the first time I set foot in Evolution, Ashley was warm and welcoming. She’s created a community of kind and caring trainers who are friendly to everyone who enters, regardless of age, fitness level or body size. I have now been a regular client at Evolution Trainers for 11 years, which is an incredible accomplishment for me! For the first time in my 50 years, I’m committed to a regular exercise routine. And not just any exercise routine, but high intensity intervals and strength training that have made a huge difference in how I look and feel. I now consider it MY community of MY people, which is something I never would have thought possible.
“I have been playing soccer for over 34 years, and been to multiple World Cups and Olympic Games, but never have I ever felt challenged and improved in such a short amount of time than when I was working with Ashley Selman at Evolution Trainers. At 40, most people thought I was crazy to put myself out there again, but my work at Evolution has made me ready to not only survive a soccer season, but to thrive. I haven’t felt so ready or so excited about a new season in a long time! See you at Evolution Trainers.” – Brandi Chastain
“As a collegiate athlete, I can no longer rely solely on pushups and jogging to get myself in the best possible shape for season. It’s crucial that my teammates and I work with trainers who are familiar with the strain that athletes put on their bodies. My training at Evolution has definitely helped improve my reaction times and speed, and these skills transfer directly to the sport of volleyball. The realization that my workouts are helping me become a better athlete and player is the most rewarding part!” – Anna Cmaylo
“For someone like me who is middle-aged and physically challenged, it can be intimidating going to gyms. ET has a wonderful atmosphere where highly trained athletes in peak condition exercise along side us ‘not-so-in-shape’ types; where old and young people and everyone in between trains, and everybody feels comfortable. The most rewarding part of my experience at Evolution has been the confidence that I’ve gained in my ability to hike and walk around on uneven surfaces and I’ve avoided having the rotator cuff surgery that my orthopedist advised 2 years ago!” – Chris Domenik
“I’m doing things with my body that I haven’t done since I was 20. My agility, speed, and power have improved dramatically, and I have developed more lean body mass than I’ve ever had. Psychologically, it has improved my confidence and self-esteem. The opportunities for variety in the workouts at Evolution are tremendous. Even after a year, there are still pieces of equipment at Evolution that I haven’t even used!” – Greer Murphy
“Since training with Evolution Trainers, I have more energy and am the healthiest I have ever been. Evolution Trainers has me hooked. For the first time in my life, I can say I love working out. Even after two and a half years, I still look forward to my training sessions.” – Su Lee
“I’ve been at Evolution for two years and currently take private training, circuit classes and yogilates. In that time my endurance, strength and flexibility have improved by leaps and bounds and I attribute it to the fantastic trainers at Evolution. Each trainer has their own unique style which keeps the workouts fresh and fun, but all have one common theme of optimal training for fast results!” – Teresa Ramos
