Hello! My name is John Ruoppo and I am one of the owners of Evolve Fitness and Training! I will be managing the personal training aspect of the gym. I am an ISSA-certified personal trainer. I am also an Elite Multi-Ply powerlifter sponsored by F8 Customs with lifts of 1201.5 squat, 700 bench, and 804.7 deadlift, with a 2560 total. I just recently broke the All-Time World Record Single-Ply Squat in the 308 weight class with a squat of 1075. Also, in 2022 I was bestowed the honor of getting inducted into the CT Powerlifting Hall of Fame. In addition, I am the IPA Massachusetts State Chairman, and we host IPA powerlifting meets at Evolve. Growing up, I was a three-sport athlete, achieved first team all conference in basketball and soccer, and still hold the shot put record in track and field. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, which led to my coaching positions at Thompson Public Schools for the soccer, basketball, and track and field teams.  Here at EvolveFT, I am excited to work with individuals of all fitness levels as well as athletes to help everyone reach their fitness goals!
