Evan Supanich, Personal Trainer
I started coaching and training in the fall of 2006 while working to obtain my Health and Fitness degree from Northern Michigan University. While attending Northern I was very active in sports. I spent 2 years on the NMU rugby team, competing against talent such as Michigan State University and University of Michigan. I also participated in Northern's intramural sports leagues-- spending all 5 years on football and ultimate frisbee teams.
After completing my degree I moved to Portland, not only because I have family here, but also because I love the outdoors. On my days off when the weather is nice, I like to get out! Since I arrived here I've been exploring everywhere from St Helens to Sunriver and from Hood to Coast. Many of my favorite activities also involve the outdoors in a major way.. snowboarding, kayaking, biking and camping just to name a few!
So as you can probably guess, when it came time for me to choose a city, Portland was an obvious choice. I consider myself blessed for having fallen into a career I love and for the opportunity to have worked with and learned from some of the best and brightest minds in the fitness industry today. I currently reside in Laurahurst with my girlfriend Micah and our dog Allister. I have been serving Portland's wellness community since October of 2009, with Alameda Fitness Center as my platform.
