About Us
Optimize your fitness, maximize your lifestyle.
Born and raised in New Jersey right outside New York City, Evan didn’t always know he wanted to get into fitness. He grew up playing baseball and basketball, but as a self-proclaimed “nerd” he was more interested in Legos, video games, and reading than working out. It wasn’t until he got to Rutgers University where the fitness seeds were planted. Between all the partying, his friends taught him how to lift in the grungy college gym (more like a dungeon) and he got hooked. He ended up majoring in Exercise Physiology and the rest is history!
Upon graduating, Evan worked as a trainer in every possible fitness setting you could think of: corporate, physical therapy, medical fitness, commercial gyms, and sports performance facilities. The varied environments and even more diverse clientele - from grandmothers to NFL players - led to a plethora of knowledge and experience that comes in handy to this day.
Along the way, he has competed in 5 powerlifting meets, 3 bodybuilding shows, and dozens of fitness modeling photoshoots. Learning about different training styles and proper nutrition allows Evan to serve his clients much better. It has been a never-ending quest of constant learning, self-improvement, and self-development.
Evan’s philosophy is very comprehensive and goes far beyond simply working out and eating healthy. It encompasses every aspect of health and wellness you can conceive of - lifting, cardio, nutrition, supplementation, sleep, stress, stretching, recovery work, hydration, and most importantly having the right mindset. Your physical and mental health are directly intertwined, and the confidence and self-esteem you build from overcoming challenges is unparalleled.
Evan’s goal with each and every client he ever works with is not just to get them in shape - it’s to positively impact their lives and make them happier healthier human beings.
His biggest passion besides fitness is travel. He is currently focused on scaling his online business so he can help as many people as possible and travel the world while doing so, being able to work from anywhere. He also wants to teach fellow travelers how to maintain their fitness lifestyle, showing them how to effectively workout and eat right no matter where they are in the world.
Evan currently resides in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina, with his incredibly cute, smart, and athletic border collie, Simba.
CORE VALUES
“My goal with every client I work with is to make a true impact on your life - to change your physique, mindset, and lifestyle in a positive way. I strive to accomplish this following the compass of my 4 Core Values:
INTEGRITY: Doing what you say you’re going to do, based on your moral and ethical principles.

Read what others have to say about who we are:
“I’ve worked with Evan for many years since he started his journey as a personal trainer. At first, I had one-on-one training with him where I learned everything about the fitness lifestyle.
He always emphasized correct form first and then pushed me to add more and more weight. Every workout, we started with basics and then tried a new challenge to finish it up. In a matter of a few months, I lost a lot of weight and built a lot of strength.
Five years later, we met again, both with a lot of experience. This time we did online training - my main goal was to lose fat. Evan built the best program that fit both my physique and daily schedule. It was more than just a workout program - it included nutrition and the best supplements for my goals. It was a lifestyle.
Evan was very available to answer any questions or concerns I had, and he always made sure to give me the best advice that I needed. We even had a weekly phone call to go over workouts and progress.
As a result of his great program and all his advice, I lost 25 pounds, 6% body fat without losing any muscle, and got into the best shape of my life.”
— Sal B., Structural Engineer, New Jersey
"I always call Evan, "Grandmaster Evan" because I remember how he showed me the ropes in the gym when I first started training. His knowledge in fitness, nutrition, and weight training is unparalleled. I still value his advice and training sessions to this very day, and I would not be where I am today without his help and guidance. Whether you're looking to lose weight, build muscle, or just stay in shape, Evan is definitely the man to go to for some awesome results!"
-Shekhar D., Financial Analyst, New Jersey
“I've been training with Evan for three months. It’s been a great experience and challenging being so far away, but Evan was always in contact with me and was always more than willing to help if I needed it. Overall I would have to say he is extremely professional with diet and exercise programs, and his training videos he puts on Instagram help as well. Happy customer here!”
