As you age, Evolution Fitness & Wellness (EFW) is the most amazing fitness program you can imagine. Over my lifetime, I have been to multiple gyms, exercise classes and personal trainers and none can begin to compare to EFW. The coaches at EFW are functional aging specialists that ensure that you age and train in such a way that you do not injure yourself and are able to live your best life doing the things you love. In addition, the community of clients at EFW is very supportive and caring of one another so make it easy to fit right in. EFW is a multi-faceted facility offering, for example: personal training, very small group classes, Tai Chi, nutrition support, treadmill, recumbent and spin bikes, infrared sauna, and more. I have chosen the package that gives me access to everything EFW offers, as I have committed to cutting costs where I have to in order to invest in ME. I want to be able to travel, play with my grandchildren, etc. without pain, and I know the only way to do that is to invest in it. My Story: I started with EFW September 2021. The last couple of years had been tough. I was a Finance Manager in a very large international company and I suddenly found myself on disability from severe daily migraines February 2020. I then had C5-C7 vertebrae fusion surgery (ACDF) in August 2020 and had to recover from that in the midst of the pandemic. I was seeing a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specialized in neck issues and asked her if there was anyone she would recommend for someone my age with my goals and she recommended EFW. When I started at EFW in Sept 2021, I was in pretty bad shape and Coach Jackie was simply amazing. She listened, she heard me, she adapted. No 2 workouts are ever the same, because she is constantly pushing me but not overdoing it. She also has been helping with other tools to help manage my migraines such as breath work and the way she tailors the program in general. I also started Tai Chi at EFW and it helped immensely with my balance which I have always struggled with. I went on a Christmas cruise 3 months after starting and had my first big ahha moment - I asked my husband to help me up from the very low lounge chair, but found I could get up with no help at all!! Boy, that was proof the program was working. For the next 6 months, I continued to dedicate myself to my health, even with a broken toe on 3 different occasions and she was with me every step of the way. When Coach Jackie learned I was going on a hiking trip with my family in the Rocky Mountains in July 2022, she trained with me specifically for that trip, including teaching me how to use hiking poles correctly, and I hiked around a lake and up a rock for a photo!! So amazing! Such progress! Unfortunately, on that trip I caught COVID. I then had related bi lateral pulmonary embolisms (blood clots both lobes of both lungs). The prognosis was grim….but I clawed by way back from being on oxygen 24/7 with home health support. I was finally released to start working out again January 2023. I am back at it again in the worst shape I have ever been in, and I am happy to say Coach Jackie is with me every step of the way. I am so thankful each and every day for EFW. In my darkest moments last year, having the goal to get back to EFW is what kept me going. Just go to EFW, you won’t regret it!!

Jackie and Jason are the best. They really care about all of Their clients and work on form to ensure you are working out correctly to avoid injury. You love this gym and our EFW family.

I’ve have been coming to EFW for three years and it’s the best decision I ever made. After a few surgeries and some years of inactivity my strength & health had suffered. Knowing that I needed to make some changes in my lifestyle I saw the adds on FB and gave Jackie a call. Not only has my strength, mobility & balance improved over the three years but I have formed relationships with like minded people & now have a community that I enjoy spending time with outside the gym as well.

I have been coming to EFW for about 18 months. I love it! It is the best part of my week. I always feel better physically and mentally after each session. I was looking for someone who was willing to work with me and my physical limitations. I wanted to become stronger, improve my balance, and find a way to get healthier. I found an amazing coach who is passionate and so attuned to what is possible for me. I didn’t know my wheelhouse was so extensive! From the awesome coaches to the wonderful clients everyone in the EFW community is kind, supportive, and lots of fun! I’m so blessed to have found EFW.

I've been attending classes at EFW for approximately 6 years. I go 3 times a week and it is always a good workout. We have a very fun class and we laugh every session. I cannot imagine what state I would be in had I not been attending these classes. It is great for balance, strength and mobility.

Love my work outs at Evolution Fitness. The whole staff is very conscious of working with people at the level of fitness they’re at. They offer multiple ways to do each exercise. The focus on function is awesome so that every year that passes does NOT mean less mobility. They have been super at working with everyone throughout covid. There are small group options if that’s what you are comfortable with. But there are also many zoom classes where you still get direct coaching. Glad I found this gem. Highly recommend.

I love this gym! I’ve known Jackie for a while through the Chamber but a frozen shoulder brought me to her once I had been released from my chiropractor. The progress that I have made in two shorts months is incredible. I am toning, feel stronger everyday, have great energy and am down 15 pounds already. Jackie and her team customize the workout based on any physical limitations you have and teach you how to protect your body from injury all the while stretching, creating flexibility and building muscle to sustain a long and healthy life. Thank you for helping me feel great again!

Love working out at EFW! The personal attention I get in the small classes is so helpful in perfecting form and doing the exercises correctly. In the year since I have joined EFW I have gained in strength, flexibility & balance. If you want to stay active as you age, then I highly recommend EVolution Fitness & Wellness.

EF&W is so great! Welcoming, not overwhelming, customized for your unique needs, something for everyone. I love the trainers and their personal care for each of us. I've gained confidence, mobility in some seriously creaky joints, and strength to achieve even greater health and wellness.

As a chiropractor, I'm big on keeping g patients active. Jackie and Jason are superior at training clients in safe and effective ways to get functionally stronger so I never have to worry when I refer a patient to them!

2020-04-06T15:25:29.000Z

Jackie and Jason are top notch trainers, and even better people! They truly care about their clients and even during the covid-19 crisis, they’re offering daily workouts on Zoom so there has been no reason to skip a workout. I’m even working out more than I was before the world stayed home. They set the bar high as small business owners for great customer care and I hope their business will flourish once normalcy returns.

Friendly atmosphere with awesome clients who will soon become your best friends/accountability partners. You’ll be missing out on achieving a healthy lifestyle if you don’t check them out!👍😁

If there was a contest for the person who most disliked exercising, I would win first place! I was very active for decades but about five years ago became a couch potato. When I finally made a decision to change, I was very fortunate to have Jackie and Jason recommended to me. Best decision ever to join an exercising group with older people like me. It has been great fun and helped tremendously with my balance and back pain issues. I am amazed and thankful for the level of patience and kindness we receive from our coaches. :)

Jackie and Jason are so AMAZING. I came to EFW a little over a year ago to help with the stress of being a caregiver for my mother. I have gotten so much more. I have a new group of friends and my own cheerleaders. Thanks EFW and all my workout buddies.

Fun, friendly, encouraging, but also challenging. This is one of the best things I've ever done for myself!!

I have been going to Evolution now for three months and I am so happy i am. Jackie knows just how to work with my limitations to help me improve my balance and regain my strength. I also did the 28 day transformation challenge. I is a great plan and the hardest part is the planning. the menus and recipes are easy to follow and the food is great. I will continue to incorporate them into my meal plans going forward. With Jackie's and Jason's help I am hopeful for the first time in a long time that I will improve my health and fitness. And as an added bonus I have met some really nice people. Thank You Jackie/Jason Evolution Fitness and Wellness.

I want to share my experience with Evolution ,Fitness & Wellness (EFW) since March 2019. I’m a Latin woman of 65 yrs old,retired since 2017 and a grandma of two little kids. One day I was playing with my 5yrs grandson,kicking the soccer ball. I got tired, my balance was not good and fell down. I thought that I have to do something, I wanted to be an active, strong grandma. Then, one day I saw in Facebook a posting that this place EFW helps aging adults stay strong. I doubted to go because I thought it was a common Gym and since I have a back condition , I thought it was not for me. But I decided to get an appointment with Jackie Bachmeier. That was a great decision. EFT is a special Gym that focuses on fitness for 50+ population. It is not a GYM with a lot of machines...no,no...only has 4 or 5 ...it is a GYM that specializes in functional fitness training, personal training in small groups, Tai Chi, other services... The fitness trainer is aware of my back condition and modify some exercises for me. Those exercises have helped to improve my balance, strength,flexibility and endurance. Recently Jackie offered a challenge..28 Day Total Body Transformation. Again, I thought that’s not for me (negative thought)....but I was encouraged by Jackie to try it because it will help in my nutrition... OMG that was the best thing that has occurred to me.. why? It transformed me. My nutrition was veeeery poor (sugar lover, no veggies, not like drinking water, love processed food). Now I’m so happy.. with this challenge I met the veggies:)...discarded the caffeine pills and even I started to visit my kitchen 😉.... I’m cooking... that is a great added value. I strongly recommend EFW to the population of 50+...it is a magic place that with Jackie and Jason will help you to rethink your priorities, see the benefits of regular exercises. I’m sharing with beautiful people and having a lot of fun... thanks so much Jackie ... and Jason too :)
