Evan Dillmann

                   My name is Evan Dillmann, and I am the owner/head coach of UVE. I have loved lifting since I started at the age of 13. I have been competing in powerlifting since 2023 and founded my original team, “DillmannPower,” in 2024. One of the most influential factors that powers my dedication to powerlifting is the mental game and understanding what I need to succeed mentally. I carry this into my coaching and love to work with my clients to make a program that works. The best powerlifters in the world are there because they stay committed and work hard, not simply because of genetics. I believe that anyone can be great and accomplish their goals if they are willing to fight for them.

            I have competed 4 times since 2023, and I have coached in two meets so far: Fall Festival of Power 11/2024, and Unleashed in the Southeast 7/2025

Why did I start lifting?

        I started lifting because I wanted to make my middle school football team. Beginning at a scrawny 5’8 and 130lbs, I had a lot to gain before I got to where I am today. I learned very quickly that I LOVE the environment in the gym; the screaming, pushing through heavy weights, and most of all, the hard work attitude.
