Meet your coach
From broken bones to durable strength
Evan does not just coach resilience. He earned it the hard way and turned those lessons into a practical system for you.
Evan Aubrey Smith is a Strength and Conditioning Coach, FRC Mobility Specialist, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Combat Sports Coach with more than 10,000 hours of applied coaching experience.
After rebuilding himself from a serious skateboarding accident, Evan entered the world of MMA and learned that muscle alone does not create resilience. That lesson shaped a career built around helping fighters, athletes, police officers, desk workers, retirees, and everyday adults move with more strength, control, and confidence.
His work blends strength training, mobility, manual therapy, pain education, conditioning, and combat-sports experience into simple systems people can use in real life. He is also the Head Striking Coach and Co-Owner of Traphouse BJJ and Muay Thai in Missoula, Montana.
Through DURABLE: The Resilient Body Method, Evan helps people rebuild capacity, trust their bodies, and remain physically independent.
Build a body that works, adapts, and holds up under life.

What clients are saying
Proof from people who needed their bodies back
These are real stories from people who came in worried about their backs, knees, and confidence, and left with bodies that could do more than they thought possible.
I had accepted that long backpacking trips were over because my back always gave out. Working with Evan, we rebuilt things slowly and intelligently. Last summer I finished a multi-day trip with zero pain and more confidence than I have had in years.
My job is unpredictable and unforgiving. Evan helped me build strength and resilience that actually show up when things get chaotic, not just when the gym lighting is good. I move better, recover faster, and trust my body again.
I was tired of feeling like the oldest guy on the mats. Evan’s blend of strength work, mobility, and fall practice gave me tools to keep training hard without feeling like I was borrowing from my future.
