Incite Personal Training

I have been working out with Evan for the last 5 months, and I have been very impressed with his motivation skills. He is able to keep each session interesting and fun. Even on days when I think I’d rather be elsewhere he has me smiling and excited about what we are doing within the first 5 minutes.
It is usually a hard challenging workout, but he has a sixth sense about how much effort you can give on a particular day. So you usually come away proud of how much you were able to accomplish.
I highly recommend you give Evan a chance if you are looking to jumpstart your exercise program.

No surprise to see 5-​star after 5-​star review. Evan is a fantastic trainer. I’d give him 6 stars if Unilocal would let me.
I was intimidated by the whole process of «going to the gym.» I’ve been physically active at times in my life, but overall pretty much couchey-​potatoey. I have a pretty busy life where exercise always took the back seat because I didn’t know how to self start. I was tired and flabby and kinda irritated by the whole thing. I’ve had knee surgery a while back with recurring pain and also a chronic neck pain issue. I felt like a mess.
So I decided to bite the bullet and start with a trainer. I started going once a week for a while with the idea that I could get started, get some advice, and work out more the rest of the week on my own. Evan was great and came up with a plan and gave very easy to understand direction. Problem was I was doing very little on my own. I was starting to increase endurance a bit and slowly see some results, but eventually found that twice a week was needed. It put me on a schedule and the fact I was paying for it made me KEEP that schedule. :) Anyways, I guess that’s my blurb for why a pro trainer works in a busy life, and the take way for this review is that Evan was helpful and flexible, responding to my needs. And I just plain liked working out with him– our time is fun and productive.
But here’s what’s sets Evan above the crowd. My neck and knee issues didn’t magically go away because I was starting to be active. I’m 42 and things just don’t work the way they used to. Evan really earns his keep by understanding the proper way to work out safely while still pushing the envelope and seeing results. He modifies exercises as we go along to fit me. We dialogue about what’s working and what isn’t. He frequently checks in a day to two after a particularly strenuous workout just to see how I’m doing. That feedback makes its way back into later workouts. I’ve been going long enough to see how earlier workouts were foundation for later ones. There’s a plan and method to the madness.
And it’s working. There’s no stunning before/​after photo, but this past week alone I’ve gotten «you look great,» «looking good, are you working out?» and «whatever you are doing, it’s working.» It’s sorta what prompted me to write this review. Good luck, and «stretchy-​stretchy!»

Working out with Evan has been transformative. Even when it is my only workout of the week, I still feel like I’m making progress week-​to-​week because he adapts to where I’m at, he makes sure that all the muscle groups are worked, and he always works with me on body alignment.
I leave my workouts drenched in sweat, buzzing from the effort and feeling really good overall. I look forward to my workouts with Evan, which is not something I can say for every trainer I’ve worked with. He will develop a personalized program that meets your needs and make sure that it continues to work for you as long as you are with him.

I love working out with Evan! I have been working out with him for over a year now and every workout is exciting and challenging at the same time. He always mixes things up and incorporates the latest workout equipment that arrives at the gym. I really like that Evan is not only working on my strength but also my agility and balance. He is great in knowing exactly where I am at physically and how far he can push me to work at my limits. He pays a lot of attention to form and adjusts you if necessary to make sure you hit the right muscles and prevent injuries. His warm and encouraging style just keeps me motivating and makes every session fun and fly by in no time. I can not recommend Evan enough!

Evan is wonderful. Working out with him feels like play. He’s fun, inspiring and works with me at my fitness level, yet he’s always pushing me to be better.
I like that I meet him at his gym and it doesn’t require me to pay extra for a membership – he covers that cost.
Evan’s also got a great sense of humor. An hour with him flies by and I can’t believe how great I feel afterwards. Kinda tired, but also invigorated, as a work out should feel!
Do yourself a favor, have a play-​out with Evan. I highly recommend him!

Evan has been kicking my ass back into shape since my wife hired him 6 months ago. He’s tough, knowledgeable and motivating. I enjoy working out again, feel healthier, and sleep better. My wife seems happier too.

Evan is a great trainer and an awesome guy. His love of sports and fitness make training fun. Evan uses his passion to push clients and keep things moving in the right direction to meet their goals. I highly recommend him.

Evan has been a treasure to find in the world of trainers. First of all, he was actually willing to work with me at my home, which seems pretty rare. But beyond that he is extremely dedicated, great energy every time, and really knows his stuff … he can be very inventive in working around challenges. In my case I have RA which makes using my legs and knees very painful, but I still want to get exercise and keep up what flexibility I can. He keeps me going, I still get a great overall workout, but he knows how to not overtax those areas. His workouts are never routine, he knows how to work through certain cycles but he throws in so much knowledge and varied exercises that every session is. well, let’s just say I’m never bored. Even has accomplished the near impossible — I actually look forward to my sessions with him. Highly, highly recommended.

I met Evan through the JCC, and was glad I had a chance to work with him for a few months. I was looking to do some ‘basic training’ as I had my first kid in April, and wanted to get some core strength back to augment my ½ marathon training. He really helped me focus on form and technique, and made the workouts interesting. I look forward to continuining to work with him going forward.

Training with Evan produced immediate noticeable results for me and in addition provided me with an education (and in some cases a re-​education) about proper fitness technique.
Absolutely recommended.

A little about where I started… I started training with Evan when I was 31. I hadn’t been to a gym in years, I have been generally underweight most of my life. I’m on the slender side and I began working out with Evan in order to build confidence and change my shape and outlook on life. I hadn’t been to the gym since high school!
Training with Evan makes working out fun and interesting. I used to dread the thought of going to the gym but bow I look forward to it! Evan helped me overcome a lot of my concerns and helped me break through to a healthier me.
Evan is knowledgeable and very interested in helping me to achieve my personal goals. When my goals change, Evan is eager to help me formulate a game plan to tackle them and achieve what I am looking for.
On top of that, Evan is always on time and flexible when it comes to my schedule. When things come up, he does his best to reschedule our appointments to better accommodate me. He works around any injuries I may have and structures our workouts with any pains and strains in mind.
Since I began training with Evan a year ago, I have increased my endurance, stamina, and overall strength. I have gone from having little to no definition to a much more firm physique and I am very happy with my results so far! I am looking forward to continuing my training with Evan and Incite Fitness and I strongly recommend Evan to anyone regardless of age, or fitness level. Evan rocks!

It’s been 3 years since I first started training with Evan. I needed to get in shape to wear a slinky gown on the Red Carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. And unfortunately, due to a a surgery I had gained 28 pounds and needed to get rid of it. Within 4 months of cardio and weights I was able to get into 2 form fitting gowns. THANKS, EVAN! And ever since, I’ve been a loyal follower and advocate of personal training with Evan. He knows exactly what your body needs when he sees you. He mixes it up so it’s not boring. Try him, you’ll love him!!!

I am convinced beyond a shadow of doubt, that Evan is the BEST personal trainer in San Francisco. He encompasses all the qualities one would look for in a personal trainer. He is very well-​educated in health and fitness, and he is an extraordinary teacher. Each session is filled with a variety of exercises, one more effective than the next. He teaches you to receive the maximum benefit while utilizing the minimum amount of time. Translation: You see results. FAST. Evan is also very attentive, and he will notice if you need to adjust your form even by half an inch — and that half an inch makes all the difference!
Evan is passionate about making the body the best it can possibly be, thus improving your quality of life. He also has this amazing gift of making you want to work harder and push yourself… Even when you think that you could not possibly handle another set of push-​ups, a few words from Evan will work like magic, making you do what you thought was impossible. How does he do it??! He strikes just the right balance of motivating and encouraging you, without being overbearing or harsh. I think the reason he is able to do this so well is because he truly cares about people in a way that is so genuine and refreshing.
The thing I find most shocking is how much fun each session with Evan is. The hour flies by, even though you are working so hard the whole time. Perhaps Evan’s fantastic sense of humor and infectious smile have something to do with this phenomenon. Overall, I would say that signing up for personal training with Evan is the best thing one could do for their fitness, health and quality of life!

One thing that set’s Evan apart from other trainers I have used in the past is his dedication. Not just showing up, but really tuning in on what works for me, where I might be hurting, what I might be struggling with, and where I might need help. His approach is active and pro-​active. Yes, he is a fun guy and brings lots of energy to the experience, but he also is serious about getting results and making the meetings effective. No one can be motivated by someone else without already having something inside them that will respond that that motivation, but Evan has helped me find my own motivation, sometimes through enthusiastic encouragement and sometimes through reprimanding, but always with a respect for my own struggles and abilities.
GET RIPPPED!

I’ve been really happy with Evan’s training. He has a solid, well-​rounded understanding of how fitness, nutrition, sleep, cardiovascular exercise and resistance training work together to build a strong body. His attitude is terrific; he’s warm and welcoming; and he’s very attuned to when I can (and should) be pushed. Best trainer I’ve had.

Evan is amazing. I hated to work out but working with Evan has made it so much more enjoyable. He loves what he does and you can tell he really knows his stuff. He keeps it interesting and supports you. I can’t say enough about how Evan has changed my life. I am stronger and in better shape than I have ever been just in time for my big 45. I love this man. He is also easy on the eyes ladies. I recommend him very very highly!
Love you Evan!

Okay. I HATE gyms. I never thought i would enter one again.
Then along came Evan.
Training has now become addictive and I look forward to it!
Evan is a kind, patient, knowledgeable trainer who has literally changed my life. (Now he is changing my husband’s life too!)
His understanding of body mechanics, nutrition, and creating a very individual workout is unsurpassed. He genuinely cares about people, wants them to feel better, to enjoy their bodies more, and be the healthiest they possibly can.
Also, the trainer-​only gym Evan works out of is casual, comfortable, personal. (–And he can train in your home too if that is preferred!)
Thank you Evan!

One of the greatest things about Evan is his passion and dedication to his clients. He is truly your partner in helping you to reach your fitness goals. He works with you one-​on-​one to create a personalized program, and he really helps you to understand how you will achieve success. Workouts with Evan are fun and varied — never boring! He uses a great mix of cardio, weights, core work, resistance, stretching and even throws a few other unconventional things into the mix! Even if I don’t think I can do it, he encourages me with a smile, and inspires me to give the extra push to succeed. And then I do, and it’s amazing! In getting fit through my workouts with Evan, I’ve felt more inspired to live a healthier life and am much more active. As an athlete himself, he is extremely passionate about health and fitness, and loves to help people achieve physical strength, confidence and well-​being. Work out with Evan! He will get you there!

Evan is the best personal trainer I’ve ever had. He’s super knowledgeable about fitness, and really takes the time to get to know you and customize a complete workout plan that meets your needs. He constantly inspires you to do your best, and makes working out enjoyable. I was really out of shape before I started with Evan, but within about a month, I was in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I highly recommend training with Evan– you will not be disappointed.
