Evie Rae…I cant thank this coach enough!! I have had fitness coaches in the past. Most tried to fit me into some cookie cutter program they had (or found on the internet). Some tried to diversify the program. Some even tried to provide a meal plan. NONE, however, have come close to the guidance and coaching of Evie. She diversifies the workouts and changes them regularly. She has meal plans, and monitors your performance based on them, and customizes tweaks to them to optimize that performance. She cares enough to make sure you’re getting the most out of your exercises with advice and suggestions about how to do the exercises (form, and modifications to the movement). I can’t say this enough. Thank you Evie!!

As a business owner I am constantly concerned with other professionals I surround myself with, their productivity and those of which I can trust. I sought out Evie for guidance of not only my own, but my clients. I had followed her on social media, met her at several events and talked with her via email. After multiple encounters I knew without doubt that she is one of the most educated, professional and hardest working people in the personal training, contest prep, bodybuilding atmosphere. She takes care of her clients on a spectrum that is not measured. Weekly check ups, scheduling, training, nutrition, and attitude are some of the things she works with on a daily basis. She holds prep classes, workshops and seminars to always provide THE MOST to her athletes. The NPC community is small. On a daily basis I have clients and acquaintances telling horror stories about coaches they have had that over charge, lie, steal, can not do their job, will not adapt, void communication. I have never heard this issue with Evie Rae or team Jakt. Its really simple, if you want to work for someone who will work harder for you. You will choose Team Jakt and you will never look back.

Chris Dickson, Elevated Nutritional Performance

I’m not an elite athlete, competitive body builder and weight lifting to me is carrying in the groceries from the car. I do follow the JAKT MUSCLE people and Evie is my coach! We’ve been working together for about six years. Once or twice a week I depend on Evie to plan and direct workouts, correcting body mechanics and encouraging me to do new exercise, try new equipment and improve my performance. I wouldn’t trust my personal training to anyone else. My strength and flexibility are much better than any of my contemporaries. My eating habits aren’t great but that’s not for lack of trying on Evie’s part. Going to the gym is exciting and I’m disappointed when we can’t get in a session. Thanks for all you’ve done for me, Evie Rae. Wouldn’t be where I am without you and I do appreciate it!

Cay Jurgenson, Personal Training Client

I am so proud to be a member of Jakt muscle. JaktMuscle it not just a team of athletes it is a family of supporters. A team of any kind is a result of a good leader, Evie has proven that over and over again. Evie leads by example, she is always there to encourage you, show you, explain things to you and remind you that you can. On a personal note I went through a nasty health issue it took its toll on my body mind and spirit. Evie and JaktMuscle were there with me and helped me in more ways then even they know. Everyday is a struggle for me, however I know I have back up support and encouragement just a phone call away.

Tina Valenzuela, a.k.a. Tiny Olympic Style Weightlifter

I have been lifting and trying to put on muscle ever since my freshman year when I was thirteen years old. It just never seemed to happen like I wanted. It wasn’t until after high school that I got a coach back home in Oklahoma to try to do a competition. That whole “team” was nothing like this family that I have been blessed to have in my life. The JaktMuscle group isn’t just your average team. It’s full of people who truly care, motivate one another, and whether they realize or not make each other push themselves to new heights and goals.

When I joined JaktMuscle I was going through some or the worst times I’ve had back in May 2014. Having this in my life gave me so much perspective on a lot and changed me for the better. Especially with a coach like Evie who puts her entire heart and soul into everything she does. If you give her 100% of your effort she’ll take your fitness goals further than you ever would’ve dreamed. I never would’ve thought that I would’ve competed at the Warrior Classic in August 2014 and now she’s helping me push myself daily to one day earning a pro card. I don’t plan on leaving this group anytime soon and I couldn’t see myself reaching my goals without them. If you’re looking to change your life through fitness in a major positive way this is the place to be.

Jeremiah Williams, Men’s Physique Athlete

I have been apart of the JAKT muscle team since 2012. My goal was always to do a NPC show and do well. After many ups and down I finally got on the stage in May of 2014 and placed top 5. There is no way that I would have not been able to do that with out the help and support of coach Evie Rae and the unlimited support of the team. The team is not just a team it truly is a second family. The great thing about this team is the caliber of people that join and stay on the team.

Brandon Margle, Mens Physique Athlete

I am so grateful to have been accepted into this JAKT muscle Family! After transitioning out of the military after 9 years of service, I was extremely worried, scared, nervous if I was ever going to feel apart of anything, structured and bigger than myself ever again.

The gym is my oasis, it’s  ‘My time’ for me, to improve on myself mentally and physically. I had been having a hard time keeping positive about the future, my career and my personal life but that all changed when I found Evie Rae on Instagram and the JAKT muscle family she had created with her team. (Crazy right!!!)

I have been in the gym a long time, worked with multiple trainers and I have never met anyone, until now, who really cares about their clients and also considers their clients family through and through. Evie really listens to your goals.  She reads your weekly reports and changes your plan accordingly to ensure her athletes goals will be met, Not her goals but YOUR goals. No gimmicks, no politics, no greed. Just honesty, love of the sport and family. Even though I am states away, Evie is a true coach and friend. I’m honored to be a JaktDiva and part of the JAKT muscle Family!

I have always been into fitness and ate healthy or thought i did, although i never was able to reach what my ultimate goal was. I felt so lost and my confidence went downhill and i was miserable. I found coach Evie through instagram and i reached out to her and she immediately responded. It was the best decision i have ever made thus far. She helped me gain the confidence i lost and the confidence in myself was restored. She helped me reach goals i never thought i could ever reach. I have learned to love myself again and look at life from a positive perspective through her. I have been blessed to have found her and being a part of team jakt. The team is not your average team, they treat you like family and the support they give is unbelievable.
I started out as just losing body fat and gain muscle at the same time and within a couple months, Coach Evie helped me reach that goal. Then i finally gained enough confidence to finally do what i have always wanted to do, which was to do a bikini competition. I was amazed by the results. I had her support 24/7 from texts,phone calls, and anytime i have ever needed her. She has always been by my side even on days i felt like giving up, she picked me right back up. The love she gives to the team is priceless and UNBELIEVABLE
She is always putting others before herself and at times, her own personal goals and training is sacrificed for her team, you cant get that anywhere else! She has been a TRUE blessing to me and if you are looking for a coach, she is your gal. She will always have your back no matter what. She is GREAT at what she does and the DEDICATION to come up with workout plans and meal plans for everyone and the genuine concern for her team shows that her team is her FAMILY.

Lyn Brown, Figure Competitor

My name is Lauren Barton and I am a veterinary technician and military wife. My husband and I are stationed Stuttgart, Germany where we have lived since 2012. Shortly after arriving in Germany I became very interested with the sport of bodybuilding. About a year after we moved to Europe one of my good friends from Colorado Springs moved to Germany and I noticed that she was in the best shape I had ever seen her in and looked amazing! I asked her what workout plan she was using and she told me about her incredible experience with Evie Rae and JAKT Muscle. I was not seeing the progress that I wanted with my personal trainer at the time and with my goal being to compete in the NPC I knew that I needed to switch things up so that I could add more muscle. After joining JAKT Muscle I immediately started seeing the results that I wanted. I competed in my first NPC show in April 2015, took home a 1st, 2nd and 4th place award.
One of the most difficult aspects of competitive fitness for me is staying motivated for long periods of time. I have used several personal trainers and Evie Rae is by far the most motivational, and she does an excellent of keeping you focused on your program. It can be difficult competing in shows in the United States while living in Europe but Evie is always there for feedback, encouragement, and she consistently pushes me forward. The JAKT Muscle team makes me feel like I am part of a fitness family and it feels great to be a member of the crew. I enjoy seeing teammates make progress and that helps motivate me towards my own goals.

Thank you Evie for all of your hard work and dedication. You make me feel very connected with JAKT Muscle even though I am so far away.
