What is EvoTrain LLC?

We are a company committed to helping busy people achieve lifelong fitness and health.  We have seen far too many busy professionals get caught up climbing the corporate ladder, dedicating their time and energy to their career and other responsibilities, while sacrificing their health.  Our mission is to provide fitness & health solutions that work for you, and allow you to be in the best shape of your life without taking time away from reaching your personal or professional goals.  Efficient, effective, results oriented fitness solutions, that’s the EvoTrain way.

What services are offered at EvoTrain?

We offer a variety of services geared to save you time and not break your budget:

- One-on-one personal training through live face-to-face video calls – This is the most effective time-saving solution on the market and that comes with our 110% guarantee.  Train from your home, office, hotel room, or anywhere you have internet access!  Your trainer will be there to give you a 40 minute intense training session focused on using your body weight in functional movements.  From careful testing, training, and practice, we have found that training through video calls is just as effective as in-person sessions, except a lot more convenient and cost effective!  Live sessions will also help you develop a strong relationship with your trainer, and will help you stay accountable and motivated so you can reach your goals.

- Small group training through live video calls - This is an excellent cost-effective solution for those looking to train from your home in a small group setting.  By using multi-person video calls we offer motivating and effective LIVE group sessions from home, or anywhere you have an internet connection.  All classes are 45 minutes and limited to 5 people so you will get a higher level of personal attention.

- One-on-one nutritional counseling through live face-to-face video calls - Even the most dedicated exerciser can easily sabotage their efforts by making poor nutrition choices.  Our Registered Dietitians provide one-on-one nutrition counseling over live video calls to help you eat healthy, delicious meals that support your goals, and improve any nutrient imbalances.

- Unlimited trainer support – We realize that training with your personal trainer LIVE every day may not be realistic for everyone. Along with the LIVE workouts, to assist you in living a healthy lifestyle, your trainer is there for you throughout each week for any support you need during your busy days.  Your trainer will stay in contact with you via your preferred method - text, phone, twitter, Skype, etc.  If your trainer recommends that you complete workouts outside of the live sessions, he or she will also follow-up with you to make sure you are completing them.  Only have time for a quick 15 minute workout?  Your trainer can put one together.  Need some motivation to meet your weight loss goal for the week?  Your trainer can provide you with this.  The more you contact your trainer, the better, and we want to do everything we can to help you reach your goals.

- EvoTrain Workouts & nutritional posts – There are lots of ways to fit in a complete workout & nutritional program during an extremely busy week, but it’s not always easy.  Our FREE videos, blogs, live Ustream.tv shows, and community are focused on providing solutions that work for busy people.  Get ready for 10 minute workouts, quick, tasty meals and snacks perfect for your lifestyle, and interviews with some of the busiest & healthiest people we know.  There are plenty of reasons as to why you are too busy to live a fit and healthy life. Our goal is to take each of those reasons (we like to call them excuses) and provide you with a solution that removes that excuse. We will also share stories about people who have had similar experiences, and how they have succeeded in leading a healthy life.

How effective is personal training through live video calls?

One word - EXTREMELY!  We understand that a lot of our customers are trying live video calls on their computers for the first time, which is why we have our 110% guarantee.  We guarantee that our 40 minute training sessions over live face-to-face video calls will save you time, provide you with the flexibility needed to workout consistently, and give you the results you are looking for, and we are prepared to give you your money back and pay you for your time we wasted if you aren't satisfied.

Our training through live video calls offers convenience, which equals consistency, which equals results.  You will receive all of the guidance, motivation, knowledge, and accountability that make in-person training so effective, without any of the hassles. We have trained clients in their hotel room traveling around the world for business, at home while their new born baby is down for a nap, and in their basement after a tiresome work day ending with a long commute home.  Feel free to contact us for a free consultation at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to see for yourself!

How do live one-on-one video call sessions with a personal trainer work?

Just like a regular in-person training session, except that the session is over Skype, you are located wherever you have Internet access, and the session is 40 minutes!  Most individuals can meet their fitness goals through body weight exercises that focus on functional movements and using light weights that are commonly found in households (i.e. dictionary, chair, book-end).  As such, every training session will only use the equipment you have at your location, and the personal trainer will cater each session to your environment.  Additionally, our sessions are 40 minutes, and focused on intensity, short breaks, and maximum effort exercises customized to your fitness level.  You will setup a time for your training session and you should log on to Skype at least 5 minutes prior to your session.  Your personal trainer will give you his or her Skype ID and you will need to add this Skype ID to your contacts.  At the beginning of the scheduled workout session, you will conduct a video call with your personal trainer over Skype, and once you get a hold of your trainer, he or she will walk you through the day’s workout plan and then get you sweating!  You should do your best to make sure your video and audio is working prior to the call, as your personal trainer is not an IT specialist, any issues with the video call will need to be solved through Skype.  Also click here to see our how-to video.

How long are the live one-on-one video call training sessions?

Each EvoTrain session is 40 minutes long.  By shortening the breaks and increasing the intensity of a typical workout, these shorter sessions save you time, keep you engaged for the entire session, which leads to improved results over a typical 60 minute session offered at gyms and in training studios.  If you are unable to fit in a 40 minute workout, just let us know and we can cater to your time constraints as we know you are busy!

Why should I choose to train with EvoTrain?

There are plenty of reasons why choosing to train with us will maximize your time and results.  Here are our top 5 reasons:

Reason #1 - Personal Training provides faster & better results than any other fitness solution

Think about it this way, what does Manny Pacquiao, Tiger Woods, and Kobe Bryant all have in common?  They all STILL have coaches and trainers.  And they all still have coaches because they all still NEED coaches!

A study done by Extreme Fitness, a popular fitness club in Toronto Canada showed that, “Members who hire personal trainers typically have 80 percent greater success rate in reaching their fitness goals than those who workout alone.” – John Foulkes, Extreme Fitness Regional Health Centre Manager

The best way to get results in anything you do is by having a mentor or coach who knows how to get you to your goals.  They are there to motivate you, develop a plan with you, and hold you objectively accountable to your dreams.  EVERYONE hits road blocks, and EVERYONE benefits from having an objective, experienced coach to get you through any challenges faced.  While books, videos, and other fad workout plans can work, their success rate is significantly lower than working with a certified personal trainer that provides customized solutions, accountability and keeps you on the fastest path towards your goals.

Reason #2 - You will save a lot of time training with us - How does an extra 5 1/2 hours per week sound?

With all that extra time you will save, you will be able to spend more time with your friends, family, or getting through your to-do list at the office. In addition to the time you will save, you will also avoid sitting in traffic, training at a crowded gym, and spending money on gas. Why waste your time traveling when you can get expert training from the comfort of your own home over live face-to-face video calls!

Reason #3 - EvoTrain offers advantages over hiring a private in-home personal trainer

While it sounds convenient and ideal to have a private personal trainer in your own home, we know it can often be uncomfortable and awkward to hire a stranger to come into your home. If you live in a smaller apartment, live with other people, or have limited space, this can further complicate training with an in-home trainer. Hiring a trainer to come into your home can also be costly and difficult to schedule due to the travel required by the trainer, and things can be further complicated when you are on travel for work or on vacation. We allow you to receive the full benefit of having your own private in-home trainer without the high costs, scheduling difficulties, or any uncomfortable situations. By training with us over live face-to-face video calls, you can even train while traveling!

Reason #4 - Our Training Sessions burn more fat and develop more lean muscle mass than regular endurance exercises or weight training

Ever get the feeling that your daily 45 minutes spent on the elliptical machine isn’t getting you the results you want?  If so, then try just 20 minutes of high intensity interval training (HIIT). Studies have shown that HIIT burns fat at a rate nine times the rate of endurance exercise!  At EvoTrain, one of our specialties is HIIT, and you can expect your trainer to incorporate HIIT into a lot of your sessions.

Two of the reasons that HIIT is so effective are (1) because the training style increases your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). This means that you will consume a lot more oxygen, and in turn calories recovering from this form of exercise than a steady-state workout; (2) because HIIT will help to increase your fast-twitch muscle fibers (think lean and mean) and as you add lean muscle, your body will naturally burn more calories.  That and increasing your VO2 max (i.e. improve your cardiovascular system) are all benefits from incorporating HIIT into your workouts.

But also keep in mind that HIIT is harder to do by yourself, and proper supervision from one of our trainers is an ideal way to master HIIT to burn fat and add lean muscle mass!

Reason #5 - At EvoTrain we provide you top quality certified personal trainers for less then you will pay for any 40 minute in-person training sessions

That’s right, with EvoTrain you save time & money!  By reducing overhead costs and eliminating travel time and expenses, we provide the same high quality, certified personal trainers as you would get at your gym, local training studio, or in-home, for a significantly lower price.  The reduced pricing you see on our site as compared to other 40 minute in-person training sessions is not due to lower quality trainers, but due to our ability to lower our fixed costs and reflect those savings in our pricing for you.  In essence, you will be receiving instruction from a world class trainer for less than anywhere else!

What are your small group training sessions and how do they work?

Our small group training sessions are both an extremely effective and affordable fitness solution.  We use live group video calls and limit all classes to 5 people, so you can be a part of a small group training session in the comfort of your own home, while being instructed & motivated by one of our certified personal trainers live on your computer.

These sessions are offered at specific times throughout the week, for a complete schedule, check here.  Sign-up for a class at least 2 hours in advance by sending us an e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and then log on to Skype 5 – 10 minutes before the session.  At the session begin time, your trainer will call you and the other participants, go over the workout and then get you sweating!  These sessions are all 45 minutes in length including warm-up and warm-down, so expect short breaks and high intensity catered to your fitness level.  No fitness equipment is required for the small group training sessions.

How does unlimited trainer support work?

We include unlimited trainer support in all of our one-on-one training packages.  During your initial consultation, we will go over your goals, current fitness ability, nutritional diet, and any health concerns that need to be taken into account.  After determining the best trainer for you, we will get you in touch with your trainer, inform your trainer of your goals, and it's his or her responsibility to help you achieve them.  Your trainer will stay in contact with you via your preferred method - text, phone, twitter, Skype, etc. If your trainer recommends that you complete workouts outside of the live sessions, he or she will also follow-up with you to make sure you are completing them. Need a quick workout to fit into your busy schedule? Just ask your trainer. Need some motivation to meet your weight loss goal for the week? Your trainer can provide you with this. The more you contact your trainer throughout each week, the better, and we want to do everything we can to help you reach your goals.

How does your nutritional counseling work?

Your Registered Dietitian provides one-on-one nutrition counseling to help you eat healthy, delicious meals that support your goals. In your initial one hour counseling session, your dietitian will work with you through live face-to-face video calls over Skype to develop realistic, nutritious meal plans based on your preferences and nutrition needs. After reviewing your goals, medical history, and lifestyle patterns, your dietitian will analyze your personal diet and provide quick and easy tips for improving nutrient imbalances. With personalized nutrition counseling, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to help you reach your health and nutrition goals.

- 30 minute follow-up sessions - After your initial one hour counseling session, you will have weekly or bi-monthly 30 minute follow-up sessions depending on your package.  During the follow-up sessions which are held through live face-to-face video calls over Skype, your dietitian will analyze your recent nutritional choices in order to improve them going forwards.  You will decide with your dietitian how specific you want to track your weekly eating habits, and the follow-up session can be as specific as analyzing all of your meal choices since the last appointment, or can focus on a few of the challenges you have been facing and how to overcome them.

What equipment do I need to complete the personal training sessions?

You actually don’t need any workout equipment to get an effective workout!  Functional exercises and fitness regimens that rely solely on body weight as a primary form of resistance have proven to be extremely effective for many people to reach their goals. You never have to purchase any fitness equipment.  That being said, there are a lot of low-cost pieces of equipment that can add more variety, and at times increase results through a small investment.  We offer all of these in our online store, and depending on the equipment, we have a personal trainer who is an expert in using the equipment to add to your workouts.  Feel free to reach out to us if you need help deciding if a piece of workout equipment is beneficial for you and your specific workout goals.

If I don't currently own a webcam, which one do you recommend I purchase?

First, if you do own a laptop, make sure you check to see if there is a webcam included with the laptop as most now come with a webcam.  For those that don’t have a webcam there are plenty of webcam’s out there and just about any of them will work to train with your personal trainer.  We offer three in our store, and each will work fine for your live personal training sessions and only differ depending on what other uses outside of training you want to use for your webcam.

How should my webcam be set up in order to maximize the live training session?

While your trainer can assist you with the set up during the first session, it is a great idea to set up the camera as best you can before the session begins.  Typically, you want the webcam set up about 3 or 4 feet off the ground and you should stand about 10 feet from the webcam.  It’s important that the webcam can capture you from the floor up, so you may want to play around with the set up before your training session.  Again, if you can’t figure out a good position your trainer can help you through the set up during your first session, and it will only get easier every session after!  Click here to watch a how-to video for proper setup and training.

How long will it take to grow accustomed to training over live face-to-face video calls?

If you are an individual who uses video calls in their day to day lives (which turns out to be LOTS of people), you may realize as soon as you start your first training session that training over Skype is as seamless as training in person.  For those who rarely use video calls, there will be a short acclimation period where you will grow accustomed to this new type of training.  We have noticed that by the 3rd session most individuals have grown accustomed to training over video calls.  But in case you want to see for yourself we offer our 110% money back guarantee, so you don’t have to worry about investing money in a fitness solution that wastes you time and money.  If you’re not 110% satisfied with this training solution, we’ll give you your money back and pay you for your time.  Schedule a free consultation with us by calling us at (800)939-1056 or send us an e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we’ll get you accustomed in no time!

Do you offer any mobile apps?

We do not currently offer a mobile application, but are in the process of creating one to assist you with your workouts!  Sign-up for our e-mail updates and we’ll be sure to update you on our progress!

How do I choose my personal trainer?

We have made sure to put together a team of highly qualified certified personal trainers with a variety of different expertise in order to provide you with a trainer who can meet your specific goals.  After you purchase a personal training package, you will hold a consultation where we will help assign you to the best personal trainer to accomplish your goals and mesh with your personality.  We do recommend that you look at the different trainers, watch their videos, read their blog posts, and familiarize yourself with each trainer as we are happy to take requests for specific trainers.

How do I use the "My EvoTrain" page?

As we are constantly updating our front page with content and fitness solutions for busy people, we want to make sure you don’t lose your favorite workout videos or posts.  So whenever you watch a video or read a post and think that you may want to reference or watch again, click on the “Add to My EvoTrain” button below the post.  Then, simply go to your “My EvoTrain” area and you will have quick access to all your favorites.  Of course, we keep all posts and videos in our archived area, so in case you forget to add it to your EvoTrain area, you will still be able to find your favorite videos or posts.

I am new to training, what package is best for me?

The best way to determine a package for you is to send us an e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or call us at (800)939-1056 and setup a FREE consultation where we can go over your goals and budget and determine the best package for you.  The most important factor for us is that you see results, which for some people means training with us as little as once a week and completing 3 to 4 workouts on their own during the week, while for others it may be necessary to train more times or join one of our small group training sessions for increased accountability and personal attention.
