Before he was performing on the West End stage, Evans starred in "Echo 3." He worked with trainer Shaun Stafford to get into Special Ops shape.
"We trained a minimum of three days a week," Stafford told Men's Health. "Any additional sessions were usually focused around conditioning to stress the anaerobic energy systems and drop body fat ahead of the shoot. These sessions were always 'bonus' sessions with the weight training taking priority."
"We wanted to start the workouts with a few big, heavy compound lifts," he added. "Luke needed to look the real deal and for that we had to train like the real deal."

Evans' work out routine would typically conclude with cardio.
"We would usually finish off with some aggressive form of cardio conditioning," Stafford noted. "This would usually take the form of some ski-erg intervals, weighted-vest runs or sled pushes."
The actor's diet "is miserable" when he's training hard.
"I love my food and I like wine, and it's really tough," Evans told Men's Health UK in a 2014 interview. "What I miss most is alcohol. When everyone is having a drink, and you can't, it stops you going out as much. Booze is a nightmare for empty calories, and you can't train the day after. Socializing and enjoying a night out — not doing that is the hard bit."
