Look, I hate to do this, yelp reviews are the worst format on the planet and I want small businesses to succeed. I found Gerard through Bark and met him, did the assessment and signed up for a package. He then proceeded to change the date of our meeting times twice (once on the actual day), and he completely didn't show on another time and claimed we had agreed on a different time but I sent him a photo of our text exchange to prove we hadn't. I believe in giving folks chances, but this was the third time of flaking and at this point I asked for my money back. He was ok with that and claimed he'd send me a check. Then a week went by. Then two. Then two more. He said it "got lost in the mail"--I waited another month. He still claimed he'd drop by with it and he never did. Eventually, I had to file a claim with my credit card company to get my money back. The owner of the gym even asked Gerard to leave because he's done this to other people too. Find someone more reliable. read more

Evolutionary Fitness changed my life 100%. I was overweight and (treading water) at the gym and with my diet. Gerard completely changed my workout routine. Now I am excited to get to the gym. The workouts are fun, they keep me moving and times flies. I've never felt so strong. With these new workouts I spend LESS TIME at the gym and see AMAZING RESULTS. I couldn't ever imagine I would look like this, muscular and masculine. My wife won't stop touching me lol. I highly recommend the meal plans. The food is great and it makes me feel like superman. Each week I loss fat and gain muscle. I have to mention that Gerard is a genius. I strained a back muscle which was extremely painful. Gerard knew exactly how to fix it. He went out of his way to spend time helping me repair it. I am so excited to see my body become it's best! Evolutionary Fitness is the best!!! read more

See all

I have been working with Gerard for 2 years now and my body has changed dramatically as a result of his challenging lessons. I already have a consistent gym routine, but Gerard pushes me beyond what I would ever do on my own. His workouts are intense, but never boring. I believe that every time I see Gerard, I am performing at least 1 exercise I have never done before. He is creative and knows which workouts are best for me. My abs have started to show and my body has changed shape to a leaner physique. If you are serious about making changes, Gerard is your trainer. He is easy to work with and highly accommodating with his schedule. read more

Bad experience with this gym/trainer. Look elsewhere! My experience with Gerard and his gym: * He was frequently late to our training sessions * He double-books training appointments (without your knowledge/consent) * He talks about his personal problems while you're working out. * Sometimes brings his young daughter to your training sessions. * The gym is not heated and poorly maintained. (dirty towels, yuck) Overall, Gerard seems to have little respect for your time and just wants your money. Plenty of good trainers out there. Find someone else. read more

My husband and I have been working out together with Gerard for 5 months or so and he has been nothing short of amazing. He tailors the workouts to match our ability, but also pushes us so that we get stronger. When we both started, we didn't have a lot of stamina or strength and would tire easily. Now we feel stronger and more energized. Gerard is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and muscle building/toning and focuses attention on all areas of the body, giving us a full body workout. One of the best parts is that what he's taught us are exercises we can do almost anywhere! Fitness aside, Gerard is also a wonderful person, easy to talk to, listens to what you are looking for, and is really easy to get along with! He's super flexible and adjusts the workouts based on our schedules. We love that he comes to our gym and makes it easy for us to work out. If you're looking for a personal trainer, look no further! I've done several classes and joined different gyms and I can honestly say that going the extra mile with a personal trainer is well worth it. And Gerard is the best personal trainer around! read more

I'm sorry to say this but Gerard has no integrity. I signed an agreement for a certain number of training sessions and then he could not give me all of them because his gym fell through. Even after asking him to make other arrangements, he has not and will not refund unused sessions. Yes, he might be a good trainer but is this the kind of person you want to work with? read more

Gerard's workouts are challenging but fun To keep me motivated, he changes the routine on an ongoing basis. Gerard is very patient and will answer any questions I may have. He's clear in his instructions and always takes the time to explain why I'm doing a certain exercise and the proper way to do it. He also helps me with meal planning. I've worked with Gerard for a few months and I can honestly say that I'm in better shape than I've ever been! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to reach their fitness goals. read more

Gerard is an excellent trainer! From day one I sensed that he could and would help me begin the long road back to a reasoned exercise program that, while recognizing my physical limitations, pushed me to achieve optimal results. His obvious concern for my safety was apparent in everything we did. My goal was to lose weight, improve flexibility, and regain upper body strength, and while I have a long way to go, with his help I am making steady progress. Along the way he has offered a number of excellent suggestion regarding nutrition and also things I can do on my own when I am not in the gym. I have a number of old sports injuries that have finally caught up with me and I appreciate his sensible approach to conditioning for someone who needs to be challenged to achieve optimal results. Gerard is great and I highly recommend him....he's a listener, a helper, and a motivator! read more

I've had a lot of trainers over my 60+ years and Gerard is the best of them all. I came to him after having back surgery with the goal of losing weight and getting my body moving again. His safety concerns for my recovery are always first and foremost and he senses when I have energy so he pushes me. He also senses when I'm faking it and pushes me anyway. And when I truly am 'just not there' he focuses on stretching and diet guidance. Fun, great personality, inspiring. Well done Gerard Pommier! read more

Gerard Pommier truly knows his craft. He and I have strength trained for eight weeks, twice a week, and I have lost 9 inches -- three of which were from my inner thighs and four from my waist! He gives me his full attention during the entire hour, is non-judgemental, and has genuinely motivated me to take care of my health -- and not give up on my weight loss goal. I am so happy with my results this far and that I found his gym. Thank you, Gerard! read more

I've been training with Gerard 2-3x/week for a few months now and I can honestly say he is changing my life. Before finding Gerard, I was very unhealthy - I hadn't worked out in over 4 years and the mere thought of getting back into the gym was both terrifying and intimidating. From the minute I walked into the gym for the initial consultation, I felt comfortable. Gerard is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. He is extremely motivating and continues to make each workout something I look forward to, instead of dread. I can say with absolute certainty that he truly cares about the success of his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer! read more

STAY AWAY!!! Gerard used to be my trainer 7 + years ago - he was fantastic. He got me in great shape. I moved to SF a few years ago-- he said he would come to SF - he would help me workout there. We met at Chrissy Field and I had a good workout. I bought a package of 6 more for $600 last year. He had some personal difficulties as did I. When I was back on track this year, hoping he was too. He said he couldn't come to SF /I would have to go up to Marin. I said No you said you would come to SF. I had referrals for him too so he could make more money and have new clients. He basically told me I had to go to him in Marin. I told him I couldn't- time constraints. I told him I wanted my money back- one workout at Chrissy Field was not worth $600. He said I could send my referrals to him to use my workouts. I told him they NOW have no desire to workout with him. I'm sorry he went through such a loss in his personal life. I worked out with him for at least for 2 years while in Marin and paid lots of hard earned money for it. I can't believe he won't refund money. Gerard is nothing but a con artist. Do Not get hooked into him and his training. There are many other people who do the training he does and who are Trustworthy. I would STAY AWAY!!!!! read more

Gerard Pommier is awesome, I am getting married in September and have started working out with him once to twice a week. In just the first couple weeks of being there I have noticed a change. I'm the type of person who needs pushed at the gym and he does just that. Not to the point where I get discouraged but to the point where I want to show him I can do it. I will keep going to him for sure and I'm positive I'll end up looking awesome at my wedding. read more

Evolutionary Fitness is exactly what I was looking for in personal training! I was getting minimal results with my regular gym routine and due to past injuries I limited the way I worked out. I was really impressed with the personal attention that was given to my injuries throughout the workout. I learned a lot in my first session and signed up for a 10 week corrective program! read more

I started taking classes at Evolutionary Fitness and its actually the first time I have enjoyed working out. I love the small classes and the fact that Gerard is not a drill sergeant. He always offers modifications to his exercises and incorporates breaks/drinking water into his workouts. He always stresses to take a break when we need to, which I appreciate because I usually feel pressured to keep going. Gerard is motivational and uses humor in his classes, which makes it more fun. His class is the perfect amount of time and he mixes it up every time. He has introduced me to a plethora of exercises I've never seen before. I am glad I stumbled upon his groupon. I highly recommend him. read more

If you are looking for great one-on-one and small class workouts that are centrally located in Marin, this is the place for you. Gerard knows what he is talking about and lives what he coaches. He takes you where you are and gets you moving in the direction you want to go to achieve your fitness goals. I have been training with Gerard for just a little over 3 months. I have invited friends and family to join me and they have loved it too. I think it would also be great training for teen athletes who want to keep up their strength and endurance over the summer. Check Gerard out! read more

Our daughter was looking for a fitness professional who could help improve her fitness level during an already too-busy summer. She found the perfect trainer with Gerard Pommier at Evolutionary Fitness. Gerard created a custom program that was both challenging and flexible, so that she could get real results in about six weeks. Our daughter gained the confidence she needed to head off to collegiate athletics with a program that will keep working so that she'll stay strong. Thanks, Gerard, for passing along your focus and motivation. read more

I enjoy training with Gerard very much. He often does the work out with me which motivates me to push further, this also helps me to use the correct form and avoid injury. He recognizes my limitations and suggests alternate exercises when necessary. The price is reasonable, the space roomy but very cold in the winter months. read more

Gerard is in the process of transforming my couch potato body into a wedding ready stud body. He tackles nutrition, fitness and workouts for me to do on my own. Plus, he explains why we are doing each exercise and nutrition modification so I understand the whole process. I am very happy with Gerard and his gym. read more

Gerard is amazing. He is not only a key factor in motivating me to be fit, but he has a certain design that will entice anyone when it comes to a workout. I have had tendonitis for a couple years now, and it acts up every couple months. I recently went for a personal training session with Gerard and my pain was gone. No drugs, nothing. Gone. He is extremely good at understanding any sort of medical condition and making sure to stretch you if needed, rather than work you. I would recommend Gerard to anyone who is interested in bettering themself and anyone who wants to feel an overall appreciation for their own body. He also happens to be a really great, personable guy. read more

Before coming to this gym I thought I was in a pretty good shape until Gerard proved me wrong. I don't think I ever sweat and worked this much on my body before. I am definitely doing this again next time I come back from college on my Spring break and I recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. read more
