Evolution Fitness

Introduction: If you are looking for a personal trainer who sees you as a real human being, who understands that sometimes life--stress, work, children, chronic health conditions, and fear--can present seemingly overwhelming obstacles to getting fit, then I hope ESPECIALLY to work with YOU. Like many of the wonderful people I've trained over the years, you probably want to make a change towards living in your best body, towards waking up everyday with more energy than you know what to do with, towards not feeling exhausted long before bedtime, towards not letting whatever stresses and limitations you are facing define you. You want to be fit. But, you have decided you need some help to get there. You need someone with the knowledge and skills to guide you safely and effectively in your fitness program, but also someone willing to take the time to really get to know you in order to progress YOU forward as a unique individual. You want a PERSONAL trainer. When I first started out working in a "big box" gym, I found myself in the middle of chaos: clients were constantly shuffled around pretty much anonymously, and trainers were given almost no advanced knowledge to prepare for sessions, get to know their clients, or even begin to address the oftentimes complex reasons why the person they were putting through a generic workout just wasn't making progress. Needless to say, I found the whole experience frustrating (and I'm sure my "clients" did too!). When I arrived at Evolution Fitness, a private training gym with a strong focus on the individual, I was able to attend to my clients as I had always dreamed. I found tremendous support for my belief that the best investment I can make towards getting my clients the results they want is to take the time to observe them carefully and to listen to them fully. That is how I discover their strengths, weaknesses, and limitations in order to design a truly personal fitness program. It is not my job to become my clients' best friend; however, it is absolutely my job to get to know them--and to help them get to know themselves--so that they can break past whatever is holding them back from living in their best body possible. While addressing physical issues is critical, whether it's a weak posterior chain, muscle imbalances, poor posture (or all three or something else entirely), I know that fitness is mostly built outside of the gym. So, I also focus on eating habits, sleep, stress, and daily movement patterns as an integral part of helping my clients to achieve their goals. All of this takes time. All of this takes research and meticulous dedication to program creation. Most importantly, all of this is why my clients get results. You are now considering making a critical investment in your future self. You are on the right track! My best wishes for full and real fitness, Jill, NASM-CPT
