Welcome to the team Evan!!
Here are some fun facts about Evan and some words to our community from him: 👇🏻
My name is Evan Poore, and I am extremely excited to join the Transcend Training team! I am currently finishing up a degree in Exercise and Sport Science with a concentration in Pre-Physical Therapy from Eastern Kentucky University, and I will be graduating in May. Involved in many sports from a young age, I’ve always held a particular appreciation of the mind-body connection and how simply moving your body can elevate your health.
I’m originally from Williamsburg, Kentucky, but I moved to Corbin, Kentucky in high school where I played football and baseball, winning one region title in football and two region titles in baseball. I played varsity all four years of high school, earning AP all state honors in football and was named the 2022 13th region tournament MVP for baseball. Playing sports provided me with a solid foundation for understanding how the human body moves, and how much joy moving your body can bring. When I’m not working or exercising, I enjoy golfing, watching movies, and reading. While I’m not a native to Richmond, I have lived here the past four years while attending EKU and I look forward to making a positive impact on the community at Transcend.
Stepping into a gym for the first time or even the thought of starting your fitness journey can be intimidating, but I am here to bridge that gap with constant support, accountability, and someone you can trust with your goals. My experience as a rehabilitation technician in two physical therapy clinics over 4+ years has equipped me with the tools needed to help you achieve a healthier mind and body. I take pride in tailoring my approach to meet you exactly where you are. I am a big believer that the process is just as important as the result, so I will ensure you understand how the process of improving yourself can be enjoyable, and not just seen as a barrier between where you are and where you want to be.
Personally, exercise has been in every facet of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as playing catch with my dad in my backyard has evolved into a personal promise to myself that exercise is vital to my long-term health, both mentally and physically. Many people starting their fitness journeys view time in the gym as a requirement, and my goal is to help you realize that exercising is a privilege and an outlet from the many demands life throws at us.
As my journey to be a physical therapist continues, my mission at Transcend Training is to be seen as more than just your personal trainer. I want to be a partner in your long-term goals. I am eager to meet the members of this community, and my excitement for this next chapter of my life cannot be understated. Whether we are working toward a specific performance goal or simply building a better lifestyle, I look forward to celebrating every accomplishment with you.
Goals left on the pillow are just dreams. What better time to take control of your life than now!
