I started Evlo due to a clear need for a science-based fitness program that drives fitness results but without costing joint health or hormonal health. 

As a former physical therapist, I worked with too many patients who were broken down from their fitness routine. They could squat twice their body weight but not run around the yard with their kids because of their knee pain.

Not only did I see my patients dealing with joint issues derived from their aggressive fitness routines, but I, too, have a history of chronic pain from exercise. I used to think exercise needed to leave me in a sweaty pool in order to be effective. 

Pilates and yoga always felt better on my body, but they weren’t enough mechanical load to drive muscle growth or physical change. 

On the flip side, heavy squats and overhead presses or long bootcamp classes felt horrible on my body.

So I wanted to create a method that is based on the current literature around hypertrophy, but that didn’t leave me feeling broken down.

Evlo is that method. My dream and vision for this company is that Gentle Consistency™ becomes the norm in the fitness industry: that we see exercise as a tool to build us up, not break us down.
