Meet Coach Calado
Evelyn Calado, MSc, CSCS, RKin
Evelyn is a Registered Kinesiologist with the BCAK and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the NSCA. She holds a Master’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia, where she focused on high-performance training and coaching science.
She comes from a multi-sport background and competed at the National level as an amateur boxer for 8 years. Her coaching is grounded in movement education, long-term athletic development, and the application of evidence-informed strategies in real-world settings.
Coaching Experience & Client Focus
Evelyn has worked with:
High-performance athletes across multiple sports
General population clients looking to move and feel better
Youth, active aging clients, and those returning from injury
Her work blends movement education, progressive strength development, and attention to the full individual — not just the exercises.
Training Philosophy
Evelyn believes training should:
Meet you where you’re at
Support how you want to live and move
Be structured, but adaptable
Teach you how to train, not just tell you what to do
Her goal is to help every client build a stronger foundation — one that supports their sport, lifestyle, and long-term health.
Client Praise & Impact
At 74 years old, I began my strength training journey with Evelyn Calado. Training twice a week, I saw it as an investment in my future. Now, at 77, the results have surpassed my expectations. My bone density has increased, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Beyond physical health, I've experienced improved mobility, stamina, and sleep quality. In fact, I recently defeated someone 30 years younger than me in an arm wrestle. My posture has also improved, and I haven't faced any major health issues. This journey has taught me the importance of staying active and investing in my well-being. It's never too late to start!
