About EVOS
Strength built right. Bodies built to last. Right here in Winter Park.
EVOS Fitness is a private personal training studio led by master trainer Joshua Dixon. We coach real people through real transformations — without the gimmicks.
The Name
EVOS
Everyday · Victories · Of · Success
EVOS stands for Everyday Victories Of Success. We believe big transformations are just a stack of small daily wins — making your bed, drinking your water, hitting the gym, getting your steps in. Stack enough of those little victories and a different body, mind and life shows up on the other side. That's exactly what we coach our clients to do, one day at a time.
Coach & Founder
Why I built EVOS.
Why I started EVOS
I was sick of watching people get sold cookie-cutter workouts and crash diets at big-box gyms. EVOS exists so real people can get real coaching — programmed for their body, in a room where the coach actually knows their name.
My coaching philosophy
Coach the person, not the program. Earn every progression. Build habits that survive vacations and tough weeks. Small daily wins, stacked over months, become a completely different body and life.
Why clients trust me
14+ years on the floor. NASM Master Trainer with 13 active certifications. Voted Best Trainer on Thumbtack and Thumbtack Top Pro. 1,000+ lbs lost across 300+ Winter Park clients — every transformation measured, not guessed.
My mission
Build the most trusted private personal training studio in Central Florida — a place where every member walks out stronger, leaner, more confident, and convinced that fitness is finally something they can keep.

Joshua's been in motion his whole life. As a kid he played football, baseball and wrestled — anything that involved getting after it. The athlete mindset stuck, and the love of coaching followed.
In 2016 he opened the doors to what would become EVOS Fitness, and he's been running it ever since — coaching everyone from first-time lifters to high-school athletes to busy Winter Park professionals.
Today Joshua is an NASM Master Trainer and ISSA Strength & Conditioning Coach with 14+ years of hands-on training experience and 13 active certifications. He blends strength, hypertrophy, conditioning and durability work into programs clients can actually live with.
He's also an award-winning trainer, voted Best Trainer on Thumbtack.com and recognized as a Thumbtack Top Pro.

Our Training Style
We do things right. Every single rep.
The EVOS floor isn't a circus — it's a coaching environment built around NASM principles, safe-set protocols and progressions that earn the next jump in weight.
Safe Sets, Always
Movement screened first, loaded second. No ego lifts, no junk volume, no broken backs.
NASM-Backed Programming
Every program follows NASM corrective exercise and performance enhancement frameworks — not trends.
We Practice What We Preach
Your coach trains, eats, recovers and tracks the same way we ask you to. No hypocrites.
Earn the Progression
Form, range, tempo first — then we add weight. Strength built this way actually lasts.
Why Hire a Trainer
The honest case for a coach.
If you live or work near Winter Park, Maitland, Baldwin Park, Casselberry or downtown Orlando — this is what working with EVOS actually buys you.
Do you kind of know what to do… but never have time to plan it?
We write every session, every macro, every cardio block. You just show up.

We can help → Free SessionOur Promise
Four commitments to every client.
We Coach the Person
Your program is built around your goals, your life, and your body — never a template.
We Earn Your Trust
Every session has a purpose. Every progression has a reason. We'll show you the why.
We Show Up
Consistency is a two-way street. We're invested in your wins long after you leave the floor.
We Keep It Honest
No miracle cures, no fad cycles. Just proven coaching, applied relentlessly.
Our Philosophy
The EVOS Method.
Assess
Movement screen, InBody scan, lifestyle audit. We know where you stand before we draw a line.
Coach
Tailored programming in the format that fits — small group, 1-on-1, online or hybrid.
Re-test
Every 6 weeks we measure. Strength, body composition, sleep, energy. Data, not vibes.
Our Goal
What success looks like for you.
Get You Results
Measurable strength, body comp and performance gains in the first 12 weeks — every time.
Build Confidence
A body and a mind you trust. The gym becomes the easy part.
Make It Stick
Habits and skills that outlast any program — you leave knowing how to train for life.
Inside The Studio
What your first session actually looks like.
No mystery, no sales pitch — just a clear, repeatable process designed to make you comfortable from rep one.
Walk-In & Welcome
Meet your coach, grab water or coffee, tour the floor. No intimidation, no judgment.
Movement Screen
A 15-minute FMS-style assessment so we know exactly what your body can and can't do yet.
Goal Mapping
We talk numbers, timelines, lifestyle and pull together your real 12-week plan.
Book Your Plan
If we're a fit, you walk out scheduled — sessions, check-ins, reassessment dates locked in.
Who We Coach
Real Winter Park people. Real schedules. Real results.
Our floor is filled with busy professionals, parents, former athletes and total beginners — all coached as individuals, never as a class.
The Busy Professional
30–55, demanding job, hasn't trained consistently in years. Needs efficient sessions and a coach who plans every macro.
The Comeback Client
Used to be in shape. Life happened. Wants the body back without breaking down in week 2.
The Total Beginner
Never touched a barbell. Nervous to start. Leaves the first month wondering why they waited so long.
The Parent Reclaiming Time
Mom or dad of young kids carving out 3 hours a week for themselves — and getting the family fitter in the process.
The Former Athlete
High-school or college athlete who wants to feel strong, lean and athletic again — not just 'in shape'.
The Wedding / Event Goal
Hard deadline, real number, no time for guesswork. Fat Furnace was built for this exact person.
The Studio
2,400 sq ft private studio in Winter Park.
A private, coach-led training studio — not a big-box gym. You'll know everyone on the floor, and everyone on the floor will know your goal.
- 2,400 sq ft of private, members-only training floor
- Easy drives from Maitland, Baldwin Park, Casselberry, College Park, downtown Orlando
- Coach-supervised every session — no walking in alone
