About Jay Burns

Founder of Evolve Personal Fitness 

I’m Jay Burns, the founder of Evolve Personal Fitness, based in Faversham, Kent. But more importantly, I’m someone who’s walked the same path many of my clients are on right now.

 

Before I became a coach, I was struggling with low energy, lack of direction, and a body that no longer reflected who I wanted to be. I had let my health decline, lost confidence, and felt trapped in a cycle of inaction. That moment became a turning point. I made a commitment to change — and over time, I lost over 4 stone, rebuilt my strength, and found clarity through the process of disciplined, intelligent training.

 

That transformation didn’t just change my body — it changed my life. And it gave me a mission: to help others experience that same shift. That’s how Evolve Personal Fitness was born — not from a textbook or a marketing strategy, but from lived experience, hard-earned knowledge, and a genuine passion to help people perform, feel, and live better.

What Evolve stands for

At Evolve, we believe in one clear principle: effort equals outcome — but only when it’s applied in the right way.

This isn’t a space for shortcuts, fad workouts, or endless cardio with no results. It’s for people who are ready to take training seriously — not by doing more, but by doing better. Every session, every programme, and every coaching point is rooted in purpose, not guesswork.

 

Evolve is about building strength, improving performance, and creating lasting physical change through a system that works — the Evolve Performance System (E.P.S). It's built on High-Intensity Training (HIT) principles that prioritise quality, intensity, and progression, not time spent in the gym.

You're not here to fit into someone else’s idea of fitness — you're here to evolve into your best version. And that's what this system is built for.

The education behind the coaching

My professional foundation was built through The Health & Fitness Institute (THFI) — one of the UK’s most respected providers of fitness education. This was more than a certificate; it was a comprehensive education covering biomechanics, physiology, anatomy, kinesiology, movement analysis, and the real science of strength and transformation.

 

That academic knowledge is paired with real-world experience — both as someone who’s gone through their own transformation, and as a coach who has helped others do the same.

 

Currently, I hold a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification, and I’m progressing through Level 4 Strength & Conditioning and Nutrition to stay at the cutting edge of what works — and why.

 

My coaching isn’t built on hype or trends. It’s built on what’s proven to work, tailored to you, and delivered with a high standard of detail and professionalism.

A private coaching experience with purpose

Evolve operates from a fully equipped, private training facility located right here in Faversham, Kent. It’s a space designed for focused, high-quality sessions, free from distractions. No queues. No judgment. Just you, your goals, and a coach who’s dedicated to helping you reach them.

 

This environment allows me to coach with full attention to detail — correcting form, fine-tuning technique, and giving you the time, space, and coaching you deserve.

What you can expect from the coaching?

When you step into Evolve, you can expect more than a workout. You can expect:

  • A fully tailored training plan aligned to your goals and ability

  • Safe, progressive strength training with clear structure

  • Honest, expert feedback and real accountability

  • Education that helps you understand your body, not just follow instructions

  • A transformation that lasts — physically and mentally

I coach with purpose. I value your time. And I treat your goals like my own.
