Hi, I’m Emily, the Owner and Founder of Emily Evans Fitness LLC
After I had my daughter, I began to think about my body and fitness in a whole new way - one based on empowerment, strength, and self-acceptance. As a personal trainer, this is the core of my approach. Regardless of your age, ability, or even a chronic illness or injury, the right workouts can make you feel strong, empowered, and more at peace with yourself. Working out shouldn’t be punishing. I believe it should be empowering. When you feel strong and confident in your body, it carries over into all aspects of your life.
Before starting my own business, I worked for three years at First Physical Therapy in Westerly, RI and continue to have mentorship and guidance from Jan Chamberlin, owner and head PT at First PT. While working at the clinic, I completed a year-long Specialty Certification in Orthopedics and also received my Certified Functional Strength Coaching Certification from The Mike Boyle Gym of Boston, as well as my level 1 & 2 Kinesiotape Certification.
I have a strong passion for helping women and moms via pre/postnatal fitness and holistic nutrition. I obtained my Pre/Postnatal Coaching Certification via Girls Gone Strong and am a certified Holistic Heath Coach via the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I enjoy making nutritious meals and desserts to support myself, my family, and my clients.
When I am not working out or training clients you can find me in the woods or near the water. I love nature and being outdoors with my husband Will, my daughter Hazel, and my dog Ellie is when I am the happiest.
The techniques and exercises I teach are based on years of in-depth professional training
