He takes a holistic approach in creating bespoke programming for each client and has a unique ability to identify the right movement patterns to generate the best results.

Evan
Evan carries a deep passion for fitness, born in his days as an athlete growing up in rural Michigan.
As he went on to pair college wrestling with a psychology degree and began a dedicated meditation practice, he became increasingly fascinated by the interrelated nature of body and mind, building this curiosity into a career helping clients thrive.
His approach takes a balanced perspective, understanding the importance of both appropriate intensity and discipline as well as rest and recovery.
Evan’s background as a competitive athlete blends with a Functional Training Specialist certification (ACE) to produce a straightforward training style focused on building practical strength, fluid mobility, cardiovascular health and pain-free longevity.
A daily meditator for over 6 years, he is certified in Mindfulness Facilitation by Vanderbilt’s Osher Center for Integrative Health, carries multiple certifications in Thai healing arts, and has sat in numerous silent retreats.

Training Style
With extensive training, both domestic and throughout Asia, in Thai-style assisted stretching, neuromuscular release techniques, breathwork and meditation, he teaches clients how truly resilient and vibrant their bodies can be, addressing aches and pains before they become impediments to success.
While he loves the technical aspects of training, even more important to him are the psychological.
Not only does guide you towards your physical goals, he’s there to understand your motivations, build your confidence and help cultivate your love for an active life.
When you train with Evan, you’ll cultivate not just a strong, healthy body, but an empowered, joyful and aware relationship to it.
Jackie
Jackie’s foundation in fitness was established early, training under former NFL players as a fifth grader and later competing as a Division I tennis player at Gonzaga University.
Those years shaped her understanding of discipline, athletic preparation, and what it means to show up with intention—lessons that continue to guide her coaching today.
Her path, however, has been far more than athletic achievement. After college, Jackie navigated—and overcame—an eating disorder that transformed her perspective on health and the body.
Through that experience, she developed a deep respect for balance, nourishment, and the emotional side of training.
It’s where her commitment to helping clients build strong, confident, sustainable relationships with fitness truly began. Jackie’s approach blends functional athletic training with smart, results-driven programming.
She specializes in body recomposition, helping clients shed fat, build lean muscle, and move with more power, fluidity, and ease.
Her background in court-sport movement and hip/lumbar spine corrective work allows her to design workouts that not only shape the body, but also improve long-term function, posture, and joint health.
Every session with Jackie reflects her belief that training should help you feel capable—in the gym, in daily life, and everywhere in between.

She adapts programming to the individual, listens closely, and ensures that each client progresses safely, efficiently, and confidently toward their goals—whether that’s weight loss, muscle building, improved performance, or feeling great for a special event.
While Jackie loves the structure and science of effective training, what matters most to her is the human side of the work.
She’s there to support your mindset, celebrate your wins, and help you build a relationship with fitness that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.
When you train with Jackie, you’re not just improving your physique—you’re building strength, resilience, and trust in what your body can do.
Dalton
Dalton is a dedicated personal trainer with a lifelong passion for fitness, movement, and nutrition. He grew up in Caledonia, Michigan, raised alongside his brother by their mom, where sports and discipline played a central role in his upbringing.
From an early age, Dalton immersed himself in basketball, football, and soccer, developing a deep appreciation for biomechanics performance, physical conditioning, and the connection between training, recovery, and overall health.
Dalton’s approach to training is deeply personal. After experiencing his own struggles with a bulging disc and cervical facet syndrome, he was forced to reevaluate traditional training methods and rethink how the body truly needs to move in order to heal and perform.
Rather than stepping away from fitness, Dalton leaned in, educating himself extensively on spine health, mobility training, corrective exercise, and pain-reduction programming. This journey transformed him into an expert in functional movement, posture, core stability, and joint-friendly strength training.
Today, Dalton specializes in designing custom fitness programs that reduce pain, improve mobility, and build resilient, healthy spines. His work is especially impactful for clients dealing with neck pain, back pain, disc issues, or recurring injuries, as well as those looking to prevent future problems through smarter training.
