Custom Fit Personal Training & Nutrition

The main thing I can say is — results. I’ve been seeing Evan for around 9 months now. I figured I would stop after a few months because of the cost, but the results/​value I’ve gotten out of it have kept me going. Within 3 months I’d hit my target weight. Within 6 months I received multiple comments on how toned my arms looked. Just last month I got a «you have the best abs I’ve ever seen». [Note: I also run, bike, swim and eat healthy — but was doing all that for years before Evan and never received those comments before.]
Other comments: Evan is easygoing and gives inventive, diverse workouts. He helps distract with good conversations and variety. The gym he works in is clean, not too crowded and conveniently located near 16^th St Mission BART. He provides good recipes and interesting articles. Many exercises can be adapted at home (though I don’t do them…). In summary, highly recommended!

I went to Evan because I’ve had lower back issues for years and finally got sick of being too injured to leave the house. Also, I’ll be real, my metabolism got worse so all those burgers began catching up with me.
Evan designed a personal routine for me that focused on strength building and a proper diet. «You can eat all the bacon you want,» he promised me.
I’ve been going to him for about 3 months now and I got to admit, I haven’t had any back pains in the last month! Not to mention my tummy has subsided.
In addition, Evan checks in on me weekly to make sure I’m sticking to our agreement and pushes me even when I’m out of the gym. What started as a professional relationship has grown into a friendship and I can’t commend his work ethic, professionalism and charisma enough.

Evan’s a fantastic personal trainer. I’ve been working out with him for about five months, and he’s helped me make more progress on strength training than I ever had before.
Evan developed a training program suited to my needs and was really attentive in helping me find the right gym and right equipment to train with on the days that I’m not with him. He also made some recommendations to make sure my diet was conducive to muscle gain.
Evan is also super knowledgable; whenever I have a question about a certain exercise he’s recommended, he has a good answer for me, stemming from his years of experience in fitness.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend Evan for whatever fitness goals you’re working on. He’s smart, professional, and detail-​oriented, exactly the traits that you want in a personal trainer.

It’s been several months of continued training with Evan since my last post and ive still managed to continue to put on muscle; it’s really all about the dieting. He keeps saying you cant exercise your way out of a bad diet and its so true. He takes a lot of body measurements, body fat measurements, and records all the weights and sets you do for easy reference. It’s great being able to see the progress not only with my physique but also with my strength. he has continued to provide workouts to do in SF away from the studio which has really helped facilitate my gainz. If you’re looking for a great personal trainer or someone knowledgeable about all things fitness in SF I would continue to 110% recomend Evan. He knows his stuff.

I’ve been training with Evan for over 3 months now, and is easily the best PT I’ve ever worked with. I’ve seen results and feel better than I’ve felt in a long time. His routines are customized around your desired results and your abilities. He is very patient and understanding, but will also push you when needed. Not only is he is super friendly and funny, he knows exactly what it takes to get you in shape.
I cannot recommend him enough!!!

I’m still working with Evan and still showing awesome results. After my pregnancy Evan has adapted my workout to maximize my new found strength. The endless amount of exercises he knows, coupled with his ability to motivate, has been awesome. I initially lost some weight and now I’ve been putting on muscle and it feels great. Fitness is a lifestyle choice, and getting a personal trainer is definitely the way to go, especially if you can get in and see Evan.

I’ve worked with a few personal trainers over the years and I have to say that hands down, Evan is the best trainer I have ever worked with.
I started working out with Evan over a year ago. I have chronic low back pain, and had just had a procedure that was meant to reduce swelling and allow me to exercise more and strengthen my core. I had been doing physical therapy for awhile, but found that the workouts were too mellow, and I didn’t really notice any improvement in my core strength.
My wife had actually been working out with Evan for a few months and she recommended I try a few workouts with him.
Evan has been amazing. The workouts are intense and challenging. He focuses on doing intervals of a quick series of strengthing exercises, with a burst of cardio in between sets that keeps your heart rate elevated for the entire workout. Given my back issues, he is very good about checking in to make sure he is not stressing or straining my lower back (or any other injury I might have picked up). I have noticed dramatic improvement in my core strength and overall fitness in my time with Evan. He also has been willing to email me personalized workouts I can do on my own for days when I’m not working out him.
I agree with all the other posts here — 5 stars. Evan is great.

Evan is an amazing personal trainer. He will break down the most complex exercise in to simple steps and as far as I am concerned, I come out of every session feeling stronger than ever before.
He is different than other trainers where he is not pushy for more sessions and his objective is to truly «empower» you and take charge of your own fitness.
For all you calorie watchers, he even has nutrition plans that are easy to maintain and update.
Thanks Evan, you are definitely empowering my fitness.

I first started working with Evan about 3 years ago and have benefitted tremendously from HIS hard work. He is constantly expanding his knowledge base, testing the latest nutrition and training fads, measuring them against the tried and true and satisfying himself that clients will benefit before unleashing them on us. And when he does unleash his learnings — watch out! The workouts are tough and engaging and if YOU do it right you will leave exhausted, but feeling great, and aching to come back and do it again.
And again.
Without the personal fortitude to get to the gym without an appointment, I find Evan’s routines — and the results — the perfect motivation. I have been an extremely happy, regular client for all 3 of the years I’ve been training with Evan.
I travel frequently for work, so Evan has helped with routines and exercises that can be done in my hotel room. He is also capable of accommodating that travel schedule and training me on a somewhat random, somewhat regular basis, but always picking up where we left off and pushing me/​encouraging me to the next level of fitness and awareness.
His considerable skills and conscientiousness aside, Evan is funny and interesting, so the sessions are not JUST about training and nutrition. He’s worldly and has lots of worthwhile news, stories and information to share.
I highly recommend him!

Do you Evan lift?
Sorry, couldn’t resist. But seriously, I was fortunate enough to win the silent auction for a personal training introductory package Evan had donated to a local school (a charitable fellow as well…), wondering what difference having a pro would make in improving my current routine’s form and helping my goals.
I was very upfront about being as-​yet unsure about continuing with training due to cost, and Evan was wholly accommodating of that wish — checking my current routine, showing me areas I can correct my form and technique, and introducing new exercises to help me resolve some pains and issues I have been dealing with. He also showed me how I can do all of this with the equipment at my current gym, and by buying a few $ 10 pieces from Amazon to supplement for his training center’s professional gear.
All this, in only a handful of sessions. He even offered continuing support over email if I have any questions, and some other resources to browse to get additional insight and ideas. I could not recommend him more highly. A great guy to start with in the world of personal training, and I look forward to continuing with him as my goals develop.

I’m a runner, and I started seeing Evan about 6 months ago to work on general strength for running efficiency and injury prevention. Since we started working together, I feel stronger and leaner, and my running workouts have definitely improved. I also set a PR in my most recent marathon.
I usually train with Evan once a week, and the workouts he comes up with are always fast-​paced, engaging, and effective. Evan is friendly and easy to get along with, and I feel like he really cares about helping me achieve my fitness goals.

I’ve been working out with Evan for probably over 3 months, and he’s just perfect! I told him that I wanted to build up my upper body and hopefully make my legs more lean and skinnier, which is exactly what he’s been teaching me to do.
He tells me what kind of diet is good for me, keeps checking up with me all the time especially when I’m travelling (I travel a lot for work), gives me tips for working out on my own, gives me body tests from time to time and he is very encouraging. My chests have grown at least 3″ since I started working out with him and so are my shoulders and my arms. My body fat remains pretty much like the same since I’m already pretty lean and my legs DID NOT get bigger (thank god!!!).
I just finished my last second work out with him today and I’ll definitely buy more sessions with him next time.
Thank you Evan!!!

I am 50, overweight with a bad knee and I never liked working out. It was too hard to get motivated. All those machines at the gym looked really intimidating and I had no idea where to begin.
Evan changed all that. He is highly knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, extremely personable and pleasant to work with. He will motivate you to keep going even on the days you don’t want to. He knows how to push you and encourage you without turning into a drill sergeant. Training sessions are non stop so your heart rate stays up the whole time and you sweat a lot! Circuits are always different — you are not stuck with the same boring, repetitive routine every time.
Evan emailed me a list of strength/​core workouts to do on my own at home or at regular gym and that was a big help for me to start doing some kind of exercises every day.
Studio is spacious, equipment is kept in perfect condition, restrooms and shower are clean, towels are provided and there are lockers available if you want to leave some of your stuff there.
I no longer hate working out, and I owe it all to Evan. All I can do is highly recommend him!

Evan is great! I’ve never seen a personal trainer before and I’m a runner with frequent foot and knee issues. Working with him for the past 6 months or so, I’ve gotten faster (probably the fastest I’ve ever been) and remained injury free which is huge for me. Literally nothing else I could ask for.

Evan is awesome! Knowledgable, effective and great to work with. With his guidance and encouragement I have gained strength, muscle mass and become more fit. He has a vast knowledge of nutrition dos and don’ts. Thank you Evan!

Evan is smart and a really decent person. That helps if you’re going to spend a lot of time working with someone, and it means he brings a lot of knowledge and understanding to any fitness goals.
I started working with Evan because I’d never done strength training and wasn’t comfortable going into a gym without knowing how to use the machines. After a few sessions, he’d walked me through some circuits and I totally know my way around a gym now. I realize that’s not a big deal for everyone but it was huge for me. Evan’s attention to form contributes to that a lot — as a beginner (and a nerdy one) I wouldn’t be able to push myself as much at the gym on my own if I wasn’t confident I was doing things correctly.
The studio is organized, quiet, and low-​key. His demeanor, expertise, and attention to detail means that he can get me to push my limits in every workout. I’m not sure I would have known that was possible otherwise.

Evan has been a pleasure to work with. My goal has been weight loss and getting more tone + helping me with my tennis game so he has given me workouts specifically for what I am looking for. He also checks in with me to make sure I stay on top of everything and am eating healthy when I am on the road since I travel a lot for work. I highly recommend him.

Even is a great trainer! He is knowledgeable and professional. I have a slim body, so the first thing he told me to do is to gain weight. He gave me lots of advice on how to gain weight. some useful nutrition information and lots of eating tips.
We measure our progress monthly (weight, body fat, waist, etc) and he check my calories in-​take regularly. and I am pretty happy about the result.
He is an easy-​going person, and I highly recommend!

Since moving to San Francisco just over a year ago and needing a personal trainer i found evan. since than hes given me a stronger core than i knew possible. his workouts are balanced, fun and effective.
I look forward to every session not only for the workouts but also for the great conversations. hes also very adept about all things nutrition and i would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a great trainer!

Evan is the best trainer I have ever worked with. Apart from really knowing his stuff and helping me build a much more productive work out, he is also a great guy who makes it fun.
Cannot recommend Evan highly enough if you are looking for a great personal trainer in San Francisco.
I personally came in having been training and lifting for several years, and frustrated with the plateau I had hit. Evan totally changed that, and I have new material, and a much stronger body, going forward.
