Stacia Evans, women’s personal trainer in Austin showing a hip mobility movement

First, I get to know you

Our first time together is an in-depth consult and assessment. Before we lift anything, I want to understand you: how your body moves, what it's been through and what you want from this.

How you move. I check your joint health and mobility, so we know where you're strong and where you need support.

Your history. Injuries, pain, past training. All of it shapes your plan.

Your goals. What you want right now. Not someday.

Your why. What brought you into the gym. That's what we build around.

Everything I learn goes into your program. It's yours. Not a template.

Stacia Evans, women’s personal trainer in Austin

Hi, I'm Stacia

13 years under the bar. 5 years coaching women.

I coach women who are done guessing: about their pain, their joints and what actually works. We start with how your body moves and build real strength from there.

How I train: FRC

Mobility is the key to feeling better for as long as possible. Flexibility is how far you can be pulled into a position. Mobility is how far you can get there on your own, with strength and control. That's what protects your joints, and that's what we train.

1. Assess. I test each joint's range, so we know exactly where you're missing strength and control.

2. CARs. Slow, controlled joint circles. Daily maintenance for your joints, and a quick check on how you're moving.

3. PAILs & RAILs. Strength built at the end of your range, where most training never goes.

4. Load it. Once you own a range, we build strength in it. Less pain. Better movement. Strength that lasts.

Client reviews

I have been with Motive for about two years, and it's had such a positive impact on my life! I was paired with Stacia, and she's been incredible to work with. She takes my fitness goals of strength training and athleticism very seriously and does a great job at incorporating mobility throughout. I also appreciate how in-tune she is with how I'm feeling that day and will modify accordingly.
Before Motive, I actually never gave much thought to mobility, and didn't think it mattered much unless you were coming back from an injury. But it's been such a game changer when it comes to range of motion, injury prevention, and lifting heavier without pain and discomfort, which I had previously just accepted :)
Moreover, Motive is just a really pleasant atmosphere to be in. Brian, the owner, is a great guy, as are all the other trainers there... so going to Motive never feels like a chore or obligation, but something I look forward to each week.

I've been training with Stacia at Motive for the past two months, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. My goals have been both pain relief and building strength, and she's been exceptional at helping me make progress in both.
What I appreciate most is how personalized every session feels. Stacia meets me exactly where I am each week, adjusting our workouts based on what my body needs while still keeping me challenged and moving toward my goals. She strikes the perfect balance between pushing me to get stronger and helping me listen to my body.
She's also an excellent teacher. She takes the time to explain proper form and movement mechanics. Stacia is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' long-term health and success.
If you're looking for a trainer who takes an individualized approach and truly cares about helping you move and feel better, I highly recommend working with her at Motive.

Stacia is the absolute best! Her thoughtfulness and passion to help her clients is above and beyond! I don't lack motivation for exercise and have been doing it for over 30 years. Stacia was recommended to me as a way to help me focus on strength and mobility related to my medical issues.
At first I was hesitant about personal training at all. Stacia quickly crushed that hesitation. The thoughtfulness and variety of training she put into every session sold me on continuing to train with her. She taught me how slow and purposeful movement can have such an impact you can actually feel. When it came time for me to consider surgical options, Stacia helped me through the thoughts, questions and considerations. I'm convinced no other trainer would have ever done this.
I came to Motive with Stacia's decision to go there. I learned quickly what attracted her to Brian's focus and philosophy. He is also very thoughtful and client focused, and I think his mobility focus is unique and very effective. I drive 1.5 hours round trip once a week to train with Stacia at Motive. I find it well worth the drive. Thanks Stacia and Brian!

I've been working with Stacia since April 2025. She has absolutely transformed me. When I began working with her, I was extremely out of shape. She developed a program that built me up, slimmed me down and imbued me with strength. She makes me comfortable pushing myself harder, while also giving the space to pace myself and listen to my body. If you're on the fence about working with her, do it!!!

I've worked with Stacia for over two years, and she has become so much more than a personal trainer to me. One of the things I appreciate most about Stacia is her approach to body image. She catches the little negative comments I make about myself, often before I even realize I'm doing it, and stops them in their tracks. Stacia knows when to push, when to modify, and when you just need someone in your corner.

Stacia curates thoughtful, personalized workouts that blend strength and mobility training, with progressive challenges that keep me growing and evolving.
Stacia takes the time to teach proper form, offers smart modifications when needed, and is always available to answer my questions so I can stay aligned with my health and fitness goals. For the first time in my life, I've built real muscle and feel stronger in a way that supports my long-term longevity. Thank you Stacia!
I'm so grateful to Stacia for her exceptional coaching and to Brian for creating such a supportive, safe space to grow and learn. There is truly something special at Motive Training. Highly recommend!

Fitness used to totally intimidate me — but Stacia changed that. I've been working with her for a few months now, and somehow she makes every workout feel like it was made just for me. She even sneaks in mindfulness—it's pretty cool! Thanks to her magic of reading my body and lifting just the right amount of heavy stuff, I made it through a whole camping weekend of lifting gear without a single ache or pain! The workouts are challenging without being scary, and Stacia has this amazing way of making you feel strong (I am woman, hear me ROAR!), capable, and totally cared for—no matter where you're starting from. I never thought I'd say this, but I look forward to my sessions with Stacia and am so happy to have found her!
