I'm thrilled to be able to write a review for Gerard Pommier and Evolutionary Fitness. I've been working out with him one on one, and in small group classes now for about 8 weeks/about 3x week. I was super happy to take advantage of his Groupon offering last summer, and it inspired me to continue. A great deal, actually too great, to sneak in and check things out! Can't believe it's still running... In a short time, I feel incredibly strong! Physically, and emotionally too. All of this has helped me to get through my doubts about how to get back into shape after 5 years of being out of the loop. Never thought I could do it! Single mom and business owner, how would I find the time? The early morning classes are perfect for me, as are the personalized one on one training times. I even cross the bridge, no traffic, no problem for a great early morning workout and return energized, and confident in starting my day having done something for myself in the company of a small group of people receiving tons of personal attention, doing the same. The workouts and classes are varied, and each individual graduates at their own pace. It's more the norm that each of us might be doing different exercises tailored in a one on one kind of way, even during the group classes. The low stress, low profile environment suits me perfectly! Never any judgment, it's helped me let go of my own, Come as I am, Gerard is super interested in accessing and supporting you in your goals. Lot's of encouragement, and checking in, however, not without the needed push to keep me going to the next level. I appreciate the knowledge, sincerity, and integrity in which he executes his passion. Recommendations and support for safe and healthy nutritional support are part of the package. As are professional body analysis to make sure everything is moving along in a safe and consistent way. And as others have said, easy on the eyes is an added boost of energy. Five Stars- As Good as it gets! Thank You Gerard.***** read more

I trained with Gerard for several weeks in late spring. He failed to fulfill his side of the contract for a set number of sessions (for which I paid a very large sum up front) and refuses to return the unused balance. My detailed review below is for those who want the nitty-gritty. Every allegation is documented and I still have his texts. I would give 0 stars and a skull and crossbones if Yelp had such a thing. I worked with him at the gym in his condo community in Marina Bay (Richmond), so I can't comment on the San Rafael facility; which he told me he was going to get out of anyway due to disagreements with his business partner.. -- late to every session (I had to text him to let him know I was there, then wait for him to arrive, which once took 9 minutes) -- the one hour session was really 30-40 minutes then he'd put me on the treadmill to finish the hour while he left -- constantly texting during our sessions -- failure to provide diet and nutrition information he had promised, despite my asking repeatedly -- claimed to have done "rehab training" and so could work with my bad back, but instead had me doing the most dangerous exercises possible for the back -- would only schedule appointments by text, then took days to respond to texts so scheduling was a constant problem -- despite initially assuring me he worked evenings and weekends, he tried to always push for weekday mornings - difficult for someone who works for a company. Would insist on 9am sessions on Sundays but complained to me every time about the inconvenience I was putting him through since he is in SF on those days. -- he cancelled at the last minute two Sundays in a row (I then stopped working with him) There is much more - and I only worked with him for a few weeks! Watch out - protect your money! I do see the positive reviews and can only surmise that a younger, often female and already somewhat fit demographic works better for him read more

Evolutionary Fitness is a great gym; it has good/clean equipment, small class sizes, a comfortable atmosphere and a very knowledgeable fitness professional/trainer who makes a huge difference. Unlike most gyms, Evolutionary Fitness does not have rows and rows of equipment, but organized classes that target each individual's workout goals while providing direct help and training from a professional. Gerard Pommier, the trainer, has been very helpful in creating a specific exercise program for me that is challenging, varied and definitely very effective. He knows what he is talking about and focuses on not only my physical workout, but diet, nutrition and having the correct mental philosophy and approach to fitness. What is different about taking group classes at Evolutionary Fitness is that even though you are in a group, you get specific instruction and attention from the trainer throughout the session and so I have found that I get the motivational advantages of working out with other people while still getting personalized instruction and training. I find that I get a far better, effective workout with the plan that Gerard has me following, instead of just going to any gym and using the machines, which can get very monotonous. I first started with a one on one training session in which Gerard assessed my level of fitness and came up with an exercise and nutrition plan for me. This has been extremely helpful for me and continual weekly one on one sessions help me to stay on track and monitor my exercise and diet. While I have been a member of quite a few gyms in the past, this place is different because I can get instruction and receive training anytime I go in, which I have found, makes all the difference! Gerard Pommier is very encouraging and accommodating too; he helped me create a schedule and a plan that is definitely showing results. read more

He took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences, tailoring each session to ensure maximum effectiveness and enjoyment. His extensive knowledge of exercise science and nutrition was evident in every workout, as he seamlessly integrated a variety of techniques to keep things challenging and exciting. What truly impressed me about Gerard was his unwavering commitment to my progress. He didn't just guide me through exercises; he motivated and inspired me to push beyond my limits, constantly encouraging me to strive for more. His positive attitude and genuine care for my well-being created a supportive environment where I felt empowered to achieve my fitness goals. Moreover, Gerard's professionalism and reliability were unparalleled. He was always punctual, organized, and attentive, making every session productive and efficient.

Trust me; you won't find a better trainer than Gerard! read more

Gerard has been training me twice a week since last summer and he has changed my life. He taught me all about diet NOT dieting using MACROS which I knew nothing about. (protein, carbs, fats :) I melted away 20 pounds of fat by Christmas and actually ate more than I usually do the entire time. His workouts are challenging as you would expect after 2 kids and years off from exercising but he makes them fun. From what I see he tailors everyone's workouts to their needs and levels. He has taught me so much that I have been showing my husband all sorts of exercises. Honestly I see myself working with Gerard for the foreseeable future because having him as my trainer is motivation enough to stay in shape and be ready for each session. No matter what you are looking for with a trainer, he can do it. Having him help me learn how to eat to be healthy and fit is a plus. For Christmas I bought my BF 5 sessions with him and he just trained us together yesterday which was really fun and sweaty :). If you want to get fit, lose weight, learn how to workout by yourself, push yourself, and much more than Gerard is the perfect trainer!!! read more

Gerard Pommier is one of the most unprofessional, unreliable, and dishonest individuals I've ever encountered in the fitness space. He constantly rescheduled, was always late (never once on time), and treated agreed-upon sessions like optional social appointments. The most serious issue: we had a signed contract -- which I still have -- that clearly stated I could cancel at any time and receive a 100% refund for all remaining sessions. When I exercised that right, Gerard suddenly claimed he had been hospitalized and used that as a flimsy excuse to break the agreement. It was a blatant violation of trust and contract. During sessions, he frequently discussed completely inappropriate, off-topic subjects that made workouts uncomfortable and unprofessional. On top of that, it became clear he's burned bridges at multiple locations where he supposedly trained clients -- another massive red flag. If you're looking for someone consistent, trustworthy, or even remotely professional -- do not waste your time or money on Gerard Pommier. He has no place in this industry. read more

Thanks to Gerard I have lost 15 lbs and down to 17% body fat in just 3 months. With his knowledge, motivation, diet plan + Shakeology I was able to reach my goal and live a better lifestyle.

I first came to Gerard after not exercising for 2.5 years and gaining 45 pounds. I just finished 24 sessions and I am planning to sign up for 24 more. I feel better than ever and I've lost 20lbs! Gerard IS the MAN, the best in San Rafael at his job. He was able to motivate and push me to the limit in every session. He gives you his undivided attention and makes sure not only that you get fit, but that you stay fit. He is extremely flexible with session times, which was extremely convenient as a college student. I recommend Gerard to anyone who's looking to get back into shape, whether you're a beginner or advanced. You won't regret your decision. read more

Love working with Gerard. They say you shouldn't trust a skinny chef - the same is true for trainers - don't trust an out of shape one. Gerard not only talks the talk but walks the walk - incredible discipline to training and diet which make him a great mentor and coach. The right balance for me between motivation and expectation - expects and demands an honest effort. Have been working with him for 3 months - have dropped body fat, increased strength and cardio. Has a real scientific approach to training and diet. I can't wait to see where I'm at in 6 months time. read more
