Evolution Personal Training Center

I have trained with personal trainers my entire life so I’m quite picky when it comes to personal training. I have to say this studio has an unreal down to earth vibe and no judgements– which is an amazing environment to push yourself hard to reach your goals. Jack is a hard working, earnest, honest trainer who cares about his clients and understands what it takes to achieve real change through sustainable goals. I am so happy to have found this amazing studio!

If you are looking for intense, results-​oriented, all-​inclusive wellness training with a professional trainer, Evolution is for you. It is a training studio where clients work directly with personal trainers to achieve their goals and beyond using weight training, cardio, Pilates, and nutrition. The environment is friendly, supportive, encouraging, focused on fitness and not intimidating. It is truly a tremendous group of talented trainers and awesome clients of all ages.
I have trained at Evolution for a few years now working initially with Jack Tisne and now with Joe Vancleve, both incredibly dedicated trainers. I also highly recommend Chris Coates for Pilates instruction.
If this is what you’re looking for, give it a try. It is a rare find of dedicated and professional trainers working with motivated clients in a very warm and friendly environment.

I have been working out for over 23 years and I came to realization that I have been wasting time and money after visiting Evolution Personal Training Center. This is a fantastic facility. It may seem bare-​bones to some but the equipment is essential to the development of a good fitness foundation as well as to help propel you to the next level. I worked at a gym in Los Angeles for seven years and the equipment is on par with any well appointed facility.
Jack, the owner, is almost always on site working with his clients and is very friendly. The other trainers are similarly nice so there is never a moment I feel like I’m being judged or talked down to. They go out of their way to make you feel at home while encouraging you to push harder.
A little about me.
I am in my late thirties ad pretty good shape overall. I run a pretty 5 to 6 miles regularly, as I mentioned I go to the gym regularly and lift weights and at 5′ 9″ I weighed in at 166lbs and was fairly happy with the results I got on my own. I just needed a push that I couldn’t get unless I got a trainer or a serious workout buddy. I chose a personal trainer that was NOT my gym becuase my gym is pricier, the sessions shorter (by 5 mins), and there are way too many people around and trainers are hard to get scheduled.
So I chose Evolution because they only do personal training and they do it very, very well. In late march of 2011, I signed up for 20 sessions with Patrick and he is awesome. I wanted to build some muscle in my legs and shoulders and to lose some fat so that I can see my abs for the first time. I had torn my lower back muscle a few times several years ago and I was hesitant to lift heavy weights while doing squats or lunges. Patrick was very receptive to this and helped me build core strength while pushing me to work my lower body and back. I felt very much at ease and trust him completely. In the 20 sessions, I have lost 8lbs and started seeing some definition in my abs. I am super psyched! I feel great, my back feels awesome and I am really happy with my appearance.
The wonderful thing about Patrick is that he has solid background in fitness. He has competed in bodybuilding competitions and is very knowledgeable about health, fitness and nutrition and I have to say that in 20 sessions, I am very satisfied, so much so that I signed up for 20 more to take me beyond my initial goals. I see Patrick 3 times a week for an hour and he is very flexible if my work schedule gets hectic.
Cost
It isn’t cheap, but it is worth it to me because I wanted to get to a new level that I could not do on my own nor could I trust just anyone with my back. Evolution posts it prices on it’s Web site, a rarity, and the prices are very reasonable. At my posting, they start at $ 85 for a single session, $ 700 for 10 sessions ($ 70 ea), and $ 1,300 for 20 sessions ($ 65 ea). This is $ 20 to $ 30 cheaper than my gym and since Evolution focuses solely on personal training, they are not selling me on more services or membership renewals.
Overall
If you are thinking about hiring a trainer, you cannot go wrong with Evolution (or Patrick). They really focus on what you want to achieve and will take you there if you are willing.

I have had personal trainers on and off for the past 10 years. Jason at Evolution is the best trainer I have ever had. He is extremely focused, committed to his clients, exceptionally thoughtful about planning your workout, and superbly intelligent about physiology (among other things.)
Make no mistake: he will push your body. But he will get you results. All while being sensitive to your limitations. He is flexible with his time and schedule and will do whatever he can (within reason) to accommodate you.
Best of all, he is great fun to work out with. He is great conversation and will cheer you on as you curse your way through the last few reps.
Seriously. Best. Trainer. Ever.

I joined Evolution to help me get into shape for a big race, without hurting myself. I really enjoyed the training, and my trainer was really flexible, sweet, and fun to talk to. I felt like I definitely was in better shape than when I started. The location is really convenient, they were willing to work late to fit my schedule, and were able to answer any questions that I had. They had a great deal when I started, something like $ 60/​session with my trainer. If I weren’t saving for school and my mortgage, I’d probably still be going there.
