I have been lifting and trying to put on muscle ever since my freshman year when I was thirteen years old. It just never seemed to happen like I wanted. It wasn’t until after high school that I got a coach back home in Oklahoma to try to do a competition. That whole “team” was nothing like this family that I have been blessed to have in my life. The JaktMuscle group isn’t just your average team. It’s full of people who truly care, motivate one another, and whether they realize or not make each other push themselves to new heights and goals.

When I joined JaktMuscle I was going through some or the worst times I’ve had back in May 2014. Having this in my life gave me so much perspective on a lot and changed me for the better. Especially with a coach like Evie who puts her entire heart and soul into everything she does. If you give her 100% of your effort she’ll take your fitness goals further than you ever would’ve dreamed. I never would’ve thought that I would’ve competed at the Warrior Classic in August 2014 and now she’s helping me push myself daily to one day earning a pro card. I don’t plan on leaving this group anytime soon and I couldn’t see myself reaching my goals without them. If you’re looking to change your life through fitness in a major positive way this is the place to be.

Being on team JAKT has allowed me to take that extra step and really achieve my fitness goals. The one word to describe my team..FAMILY. The support of my teammates and coach is a feeling like no other. It keeps me going when I otherwise wouldn’t. Coach Evie has made such an impact on me, she believes in me and I know I can always count on her no matter what I need! Overall, this has been the best experience I’ve ever had, life changing.

I have always been into fitness and ate healthy (or thought i did) although I never was able to reach what my ultimate goal was. I felt so lost and my confidence went downhill and I was miserable.

I found coach Evie through Instagram and I reached out to her and she immediately responded. It was the best decision I have ever made thus far. She helped me gain the confidence I lost and the confidence in myself was restored. She helped me reach goals I never thought I could ever reach.

I have learned to love myself again and look at life from a positive perspective through her. I have been blessed to have found her and being a part of team JAKT. The team is not your average team. They treat you like family and the support they give is unbelievable.

I started out as just losing body fat and gain muscle at the same time and within a couple months, Coach Evie helped me reach that goal. Then I finally gained enough confidence to finally do what I have always wanted to do, which was to do a bikini competition. I was amazed by the results. I had her support 24/7 from texts and phone calls. She has always been by my side (even on days I felt like giving up) and she picked me right back up. The love she gives to the team is priceless and UNBELIEVABLE.

She is always putting others before herself and at times, her own personal goals and training is sacrificed for her team. You can’t get that anywhere else! She has been a TRUE blessing to me and if you are looking for a coach, she is your gal. She will always have your back no matter what. She is GREAT at what she does and the DEDICATION to come up with workout plans and meal plans for everyone and the genuine concern for her team shows that her team is her FAMILY.

My name is Lauren Barton and I am a veterinary technician and military wife. My husband and I are stationed Stuttgart, Germany where we have lived since 2012. Shortly after arriving in Germany I became very interested with the sport of bodybuilding. About a year after we moved to Europe one of my good friends from Colorado Springs moved to Germany and I noticed that she was in the best shape I had ever seen her in and looked amazing! I asked her what workout plan she was using and she told me about her incredible experience with Evie Rae and JAKT Muscle. I was not seeing the progress that I wanted with my personal trainer at the time and with my goal being to compete in the NPC I knew that I needed to switch things up so that I could add more muscle. After joining JAKT Muscle I immediately started seeing the results that I wanted. I competed in my first NPC show in April 2015, took home a 1st, 2nd and 4th place award.

One of the most difficult aspects of competitive fitness for me is staying motivated for long periods of time. I have used several personal trainers and Evie Rae is by far the most motivational, and she does an excellent of keeping you focused on your program. It can be difficult competing in shows in the United States while living in Europe but Evie is always there for feedback, encouragement, and she consistently pushes me forward. The JAKT Muscle team makes me feel like I am part of a fitness family and it feels great to be a member of the crew. I enjoy seeing teammates make progress and that helps motivate me towards my own goals.

Thank you Evie for all of your hard work and dedication. You make me feel very connected with JAKT Muscle even though I am so far away.
