Evan Beachler
Personal Trainer
“Challenge” is not an unfamiliar term to Evan. He has dealt with adversity since birth, as he had to vie for survival against his three quadruplet sisters. Born and raised as a proud Westerville local in a loving family, Evan was introduced to fitness at a young age, through sports teams and his former-Marine/ police officer father training him in the finer art of physical fitness.
His passion only increased (whether through force or interest) as he entered college. At The Ohio State University, Evan joined the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps, waking up zero-dark-early in the morning for cold workouts and then performing group specialized-fitness sessions in the afternoon with other candidates. Upon graduation and commissioning, he went off to serve across the world. When leaving the Army, he continued serving as a wildland firefighter, EMT, teacher, and Operating Room Assistant. He finally came to the realization that fitness can be a passion AND career.
Through the Army’s constant focus on improving Soldier’s performance and health, he is no stranger to planning and leading fitness sessions. While stationed at Fort Bragg, he was selected to become a certified coach in the Army’s developing SPARTA program, combining physical fitness and physical therapy into a program that helped rehabilitate recovering Special Forces operators and Paratroopers. This has also helped him learn how to incorporate performance metrics into physical training, using data- driven guidance that is tailored towards each individual’s goals.
Evan’s history has brought a varied experience towards his training style, having performed in not only military-style training, but also Cross-training, HIIT, Strength-and- Conditioning, resistance band training and ultra-endurance running. He is an avid and lifelong student of the industry and continues to enjoy learning from the professionals. Some of these professionals include Mark Twight, Jeff Caviliere, Jeff Nippard, Mark McIlyar, Gary Walker, and of course the truly professional team at The Yoga and Fitness Factory. At the end of the day, his goal is simply to promote a healthier lifestyle and lifelong, functional fitness.
