Where It Started

Alpha Evolution wasn’t handed down or bought out — it was built from scratch in 2015 by one guy with a vision and a whole lot of grit.

Josh didn’t start with investors or flashy gear. He borrowed equipment from friends, painted the walls himself, and turned a bare space into a home for lifters. No shortcuts. No handouts. Just a relentless drive to create the kind of gym he always wished existed — raw, focused, and built for progress.

Since day one, Alpha has stood for work. For showing up when nobody’s watching. For building strength the hard way. Nearly a decade later, the mission still holds:
Show up. Put in work. Become something greater.
