CORE at eVOLV Strong is more than an ab workout. It’s a complete strength and conditioning program designed to help you tighten your waist, improve balance, increase mobility, reduce injury risk, and become stronger for everyday life.
Led by experienced professional trainers in Albuquerque, CORE combines functional strength training, targeted abdominal exercises, cardiovascular conditioning, and progressive coaching to create results you can see—and strength you can feel.

Ready to discover how strong you can become? Contact eVOLV Strong today to try CORE.
What Is the eVOLV CORE Program?
CORE is a structured fitness program for Albuquerque adults who want to lose inches, build functional strength, improve posture, and feel more confident in their bodies.
Every workout targets more than your abs. You’ll strengthen the muscles surrounding your hips, spine, pelvis, shoulders, and lower back while training your entire body to move as one powerful unit.
CORE workouts may include:
Functional strength training
Abdominal and oblique exercises
Balance and stability training
Low-impact cardiovascular conditioning
Mobility and flexibility work
Bodyweight movements
Resistance training
Personalized exercise modifications
Professional coaching and accountability
You don’t need to be in shape before you begin. Our coaches provide modifications so you can train safely, progress consistently, and feel successful from your first workout.
The Benefits of Core Strength Training
A stronger core supports nearly everything you do. It can help you move more efficiently inside the gym while making everyday activities—from climbing stairs to lifting groceries—feel easier.
CORE can help you:
Tighten and strengthen your midsection
Improve posture, coordination, and balance
Build full-body strength and endurance
Increase flexibility and mobility
Support healthier movement patterns
Reduce your risk of exercise-related injuries
Improve athletic performance
Feel more energetic and confident
Stay consistent with expert accountability
Become stronger for work, recreation, and daily life
While no workout can guarantee fat loss from one specific area, CORE combines effective training with the proven eVOLV system to support overall fat loss, muscle development, and measurable body transformation.
Fitness for Adults of Every Experience Level
CORE is designed for real people—not just athletes or fitness models. Our members include busy professionals, parents, beginners, active older adults, and experienced gym members who want better coaching and a stronger community.
You’ll never be expected to keep up with someone else’s fitness level. Your coach will help you select the appropriate exercise variation, resistance, and intensity for your body.
This is challenging fitness without intimidation.
Powered by the eVOLV Phoenix Method
CORE is powered by eVOLV Strong’s Phoenix Method, our complete approach to lasting transformation built on five essential pillars:

Accountability: Coaching that keeps you focused and moving forward.
Habits: Sustainable actions that create long-term results.

SHRED: Weight Loss & Body Transformation in Albuquerque
Lose Fat. Lose Inches. Rebuild Your Confidence.
SHRED at eVOLV Strong is a professionally coached weight-loss and body-transformation program for Albuquerque adults who are ready to stop starting over.
This isn’t another extreme diet, generic fitness class, or short-term challenge. SHRED combines effective workouts, realistic nutrition, personal accountability, sustainable habits, and a supportive community to help you lose body fat, reduce inches, increase energy, and create results you can maintain.
Ready to transform your body and your life? Contact eVOLV Strong today to start SHRED.
What Is the eVOLV SHRED Program?
SHRED is eVOLV Strong’s signature weight-loss program, created for real people with busy lives.
Every workout is structured to improve cardiovascular fitness, build lean muscle, increase strength, and support healthy fat loss. You’ll receive professional coaching and exercise modifications, so you can begin at your current fitness level and progress safely.
SHRED may include:
Professionally coached group workouts
Strength and resistance training
Cardiovascular conditioning
Functional full-body movements
Core and stability exercises
Personalized exercise modifications
Practical nutrition guidance
Progress tracking
Habit coaching
Accountability and community support
You won’t be left to figure everything out alone. Our coaches provide the structure, direction, and encouragement you need to keep moving forward.
A Complete Approach to Weight Loss
Most weight-loss plans focus only on eating less or exercising more. That may produce temporary results, but it rarely addresses the behaviors and environment that determine whether those results last.
SHRED takes a more complete approach.
We help you improve the five areas that have the greatest influence on lasting transformation:
Movement
Nutrition
Accountability
Daily habits
Community support
The goal isn’t to create a perfect week. It’s to build a healthier lifestyle you can continue through busy schedules, celebrations, travel, stress, and real life.
What Can SHRED Help You Accomplish?
With consistent participation, SHRED can help you work toward:
Losing body fat
Reducing inches around your waist
Building and maintaining lean muscle
Increasing strength and endurance
Improving energy and mobility
Developing healthier eating habits
Feeling more comfortable in your clothes
Improving confidence and self-image
Creating consistency with exercise
Maintaining your results over time
Individual results vary based on factors such as starting point, attendance, nutrition, recovery, medical considerations, and consistency. We focus on measurable progress—not unrealistic promises.
Powered by the eVOLV Phoenix Method
SHRED is powered by eVOLV Strong’s Phoenix Method, our signature system for sustainable physical and personal transformation.
Movement
You’ll complete structured workouts designed to burn energy, build strength, protect lean muscle, and improve your overall fitness.
Nutrition
We help you make practical food choices that support fat loss without forcing you into an impossible or overly restrictive lifestyle.
Accountability
Your coaches help you stay focused, identify obstacles, and take the next step—even when motivation is low.
Habits
Lasting results come from repeated actions. We help you create routines that make healthier choices easier and more consistent.
Community
Transformation is easier when you’re surrounded by people who encourage your progress and understand the journey.
The Phoenix Method isn’t about punishment. It’s about rising from where you are, rebuilding your confidence, and becoming stronger than before.
Weight-Loss Coaching Without Extreme Diets
You shouldn’t have to eliminate every food you enjoy to improve your health.
SHRED teaches a balanced approach to nutrition built around portions, consistency, awareness, and better everyday decisions. Instead of chasing the newest restrictive diet, you’ll learn strategies that can work at home, at restaurants, during holidays, and throughout your normal routine.
We want you to develop a healthier relationship with food—not live in fear of it.
Exercise for Beginners and Experienced Members
You don’t need to lose weight or “get in shape” before joining SHRED. That’s what the program is here to help you accomplish.
Every exercise can be adjusted to match your current ability. Our coaches can provide lower-impact options, movement modifications, and appropriate levels of resistance while still helping you complete an effective workout.
Experienced members can increase their resistance, pace, or intensity to continue progressing.
You’ll be challenged at your level, supported through the process, and celebrated for your progress.
Weight Loss for Adults Over 40
Losing weight can feel different after 40. Changes in muscle mass, sleep, stress, activity, recovery, and lifestyle can all affect your progress.
SHRED helps Albuquerque adults over 40 take a smarter, more sustainable approach. Instead of relying only on the scale, we focus on strength, body composition, waist measurements, fitness, energy, habits, and overall health.
SHRED may help you:
Preserve and build lean muscle
Improve functional strength
Increase daily energy
Reduce waist measurements
Improve balance and mobility
Create sustainable nutrition habits
Stay active and independent
Feel more confident in your body
It is never too late to take control of your health.
We Don’t Just Chase Weight Loss
The number on the scale is only one measurement.
At eVOLV Strong, transformation can also mean having more energy, fitting comfortably into your clothes, becoming stronger, sleeping better, completing a workout you once thought was impossible, or finally feeling proud of yourself again.
We don’t want you to become smaller while feeling deprived and exhausted. We want you to become healthier, stronger, more confident, and more capable.
More Than an Albuquerque Fitness Class

When you join SHRED, you receive:
Professionally designed workouts
Instruction from experienced trainers

Private Weight-Loss and Body-Transformation Coaching
Losing weight involves more than burning calories during a workout. Lasting transformation requires a plan that addresses movement, nutrition, accountability, habits, and mindset.
Private training gives your coach the opportunity to personalize every part of that journey.
We can help you work toward:
Reducing body fat
Losing inches around your waist
Building and preserving lean muscle
Improving strength and endurance
Creating healthier nutrition habits
Increasing energy and mobility
Feeling more confident in your clothes
Maintaining your results over time
Individual results vary, but you’ll never have to navigate the process alone.
Private Strength and Muscle-Building Training
If your goal is to become stronger or build lean muscle, your trainer will develop a progressive resistance-training plan based on your experience and ability.
Your program can emphasize:
Total-body strength
Lean muscle development
Proper lifting technique
Progressive overload
Athletic performance
Core stability
Injury-risk reduction
Mobility and recovery
Improved body composition
We’ll track your progress and adjust your training as your body becomes stronger. You won’t waste time guessing which exercises to perform or how much weight to use.
Personal Training for Adults Over 40
Your body changes over time, and your training should evolve with it.
Private personal training can be especially valuable for adults over 40 who want to lose fat, preserve muscle, improve mobility, increase energy, and stay active for decades to come.
Our trainers can adapt your workouts around your current fitness level, injury history, mobility, and recovery needs while still helping you make meaningful progress.
The objective isn’t to train like you did 20 years ago. It’s to train intelligently for the strong, healthy life you want now.
Private Training for Busy Professionals
Your schedule is demanding, and your training needs to be efficient.
Private sessions provide focused coaching without the distractions or uncertainty of a crowded gym. Your trainer prepares the workout, guides every movement, monitors your form, and keeps the session moving.
You arrive ready to work. We take care of the plan.
Private training is ideal for executives, business owners, medical professionals, first responders, entertainers, and other busy Albuquerque professionals who value their time and expect a high level of service.

What Our Clients Say:
Over the last two years, as a 58 year old male, I have lost over 30 lbs. while improving flexibility, balance, and core strength. The trainers and staff are truly there to help you succeed. The community that supports the healthy living active lifestyle is always welcoming and amazing to each other. There are many in amazing physical abilities but no knuckleheads to ruin the experience.
Brett
eVOLV has been the staple in my health and fitness journey over the last 10 years. Amazing experiences with real life solutions!!! The eVOLV motto is “Never Give Up”.
Roxanne
After more than a decade away from the gym, I found myself feeling out of shape, overweight, and lacking in both flexibility and functionality. Although initially hesitant, I recognized the need for change. From the moment I walked into Evolv, CJ, his team, and the other members made me feel welcomed and supported. The positive and encouraging atmosphere, regardless of fitness level, was exactly what I needed. The Shred program with CJ has proven to be an invaluable investment in my health—I’ve experienced significant improvements in core strength and flexibility, and I now feel better than ever.
Thomas
This is a fabulous gym with a great sense of community and no pretentiousness. All the trainers are friendly and inviting and quickly make you feel like home. I always leave feeling like I had a good workout and after nearly a month of the Shred program I’ve lost 7 lbs and feel stronger and more able in my day to day life. Give EVOLV a shot. You’ll be glad you did.
Javier
I've been consistent in showing up at the gym and CJ has rewarded me with some very quick results. I am putting on muscle and, working closely with my doctor, I've been able to cut down on insulin. I highly recommend CJ and eVOLV Strong. Plus it's been fun.
Hugo
I was feeling stuck and discouraged with the results of my normal workout routine. eVolv's fun and friendly classes have taken me to the next level! In just 2 weeks, I feel stronger and healthier! At eVolv, slacking is not an option!

Client experience:
Joining Evolv Strong has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health and well-being. From day one, the energy is contagious, the people are welcoming, and there’s a genuine community feel that makes you want to keep coming back. No matter your fitness level, you’ll be treated with respect, encouragement, and a solid plan to get you where you want to be. This isn’t just a gym—it’s a place where real transformations happen.
I’ve been part of the Shred program, working with my trainer CJ, and let me tell you—CJ does not let me phone it in! Every workout is designed to challenge me, push my limits, and get real results. Thanks to CJ’s relentless focus on form, accountability, and keeping me motivated, I’ve lost weight, gained muscle mass, and built a confidence I didn’t have before. It’s tough, it’s intense, but it’s exactly what I needed to break through my plateaus.
If you’re ready to stop making excuses and start seeing results, Evolv Strong is the place to be. Between the expert trainers, like CJ, and programs like Shred that deliver real progress, you’ll find a community that lifts you up and pushes you forward. I can’t recommend Evolv Strong enough for anyone serious about changing their life for the better.
I started going to eVOLV last week and I’m already loving it. The classes are great- challenging, energizing and varied, so every workout feels fresh and efficient. I leave each class feeling like I got a great workout. What really sets this gym apart is the community. From my first class people made a point to say hello and make me feel welcome. I can already tell this place is going to help me reach my fitness goals and enjoy the process!
I have been attending eVOLV since 2018. I was overweight, broken from a divorce with 2 children. I was not sure what I was expecting. The minute I walked in the door I knew this place was different. I did not feel like I was walking into a Gym. I was immediately was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome as if I was family. I signed up for the Rise of the Phoenix and that is when my life changed. They coached me how to take care of myself physically, mentally and emotionally. Educated me nutrition including meal planning. I now attend the gym 4-5 days a week and if I cannot get to the gym they offer online live zoom classes or pre recorded classes as well. Thank you eVOLV for changing my life. Kymm AKA Zoopie
eVOLVStrong has a decade of experience energerizing and inspiring people to incorporate physical wellbeing into their lives. With expert trainer, CJ, his classes and training are always fun, hard and results-producing. The programs are accessible for newbies and challenging for athletes with a wide options of scheduling. CJ is confident in his craft and in getting you to show up and do your best. eVOLV has community, heart and expertise.
I've been training with CJ for over 18 years. And look at me - I'm carved of wood. I ski with guys half my age and the have the same waistline from my 20s. The bottom line: if you want results more than a raqetball court and swimming pool, this is your place. It's not about an open gym where you aimlessly walk around and waste time on machines. This is about private and small classes with a tribe of people that want to keep their weight under control, have functionality of a much younger person - and for the A-types out there, manage stress. CJ trains movie stars when they shoot films out here - meaning, he knows how to make the magic. All of the personal trainers at Evolve are top notch, as I've trained with them over the years as well. Just walk in, call, and check it out. It's not for everyone - it's for people who want to make positive changes in their lives.
Before joining evolve I was hesitant to go into crowded workout environments. I was in bad shape and needed help. eVOLV has been one of my best decisions of my life. It's a fun encouraging environment with amazing and involved coaches. I was initially only going to stay for 3 months but I love it so much that it's going to be a normal part of my life.
