CJ Chavez has been an innovator and a leader in the Albuquerque fitness industry for over 15 years. His passion for fitness began when he was a young boy when his mother enrolled him in martial arts in an effort to divert him from fighting at school.
After a brief detour in the business world as an adult, he found himself back to his true calling of fitness in a local chain gym where he quickly rose to be one of the most popular instructors and trainers. While working for others in the fitness industry, he felt a need was not being met. CJ dreamt of a place where clients felt like family and instructors were free to develop their own style of teaching. Six years ago, CJ decided to make the leap of faith and bring his own style of fitness to Albuquerque and began the venture which we now know and love as eVOLVSTRONG. Not a gym, but a community where the whole person is accepted, embraced and evolves!
eVOLVSTRONG has grown and flourished, especially in the last three years under CJ’s leadership. He has developed the Rise of the Phoenix Fitness program, which is now one of the largest fitness shows in the state of New Mexico. CJ also acts an international health and wellness consultant in partnership with the Mexican Government and Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de La Puebla. Most recently CJ and his team from eVOLVSTRONG supported the Duke City Gladiators in winning the 2018 Southern Conference Championship! (Go Gladiators!) CJ brings his own style into each and every class at eVOLVSTRONG. During his time in the industry, CJ has trained elite athletes, championship teams, and helped hundreds of people lose thousands of pounds and keep it off! Every class is unique and different every time so you never get bored. CJ’s mantra is never give up and he will never give up on you!
