Including the gym where the star transformed into Captain America


How does one transform into a superhero? Unfortunately for the stars who sign-up to portray superhuman strength on screen, there are no strange sci-fi chemicals or radioactive insect bites on-hand to help – only raw grit, determination, and many sweaty sessions in the gym. From Hugh Jackman’s bristling Wolverine and Chris Hemsworth’s godly Thor, there’s been some pretty impressive transformations over the years, and perhaps none more so than the ultra-buff bod of Chris Evans’s Captain America.

But how did Evans transform himself into the all-American hero? Under the tutelage of celebrity trainer Simon Waterson, Evans underwent a brutal three-month training programme to achieve the Captain America physique – focusing on heavy, low-rep compound lifts and a strict, high-calorie diet formed of clean proteins and carbs. As for where he trained, the bulk of the lifting occurred in his very own guest wing gym, which he personally outfitted as a Captain America training space free from commute and distractions. And now, the very same LA home where Chris Evans transformed into the Marvel hero is for sale with Christies Real Estate for $6.395m. 

Inside Chris Evans’ Hollywood Home

Home to Chris Evans for over a decade, the actor is said to have loved this LA property for its ‘view and sense of calm’ – ‘The property sits tucked away from everything, and yet you’re minutes from anything you could want. [It] has a way of making ordinary days feel special,’ he told Elle Decor. Perched high above Mulholland Drive, Chris Evans is far from the first celebrity to be attracted to the Hollywood Hills avenue. A Richard Neutra architectural masterpiece sits on the road, as do the former homes of Tom Cruise, and power couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Kendall Jenner, Denzel Washington, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton and Madonna have also been connected to the street.

Originally purchased for $3.5m in 2013, Chris Evans first listed the home last year for $7m, before putting it back on the market for $6,395,000. As for why he decided to sell, listing agency Scott Moore of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California told People last year: ‘After over a decade of amazing memories in his LA home, Chris is planning to move to the East Coast to be closer to family.’

Dating back to the 1940s, the interiors of this meditative retreat were dreamt up by renowned designer Stewart-Gulrajani. Inside: vaulted open-beam ceilings, vast picture windows, a dramatic fireplace, dining area, wet bar and chef’s kitchen. Beyond the principal suite (with its steam shower, freestanding tub, and private deck with Santa Monica mountain views), there is an additional guest suite with a kitchen, office and, of course, the all-important Captain America-worthy gym.

Set within three-quarters of an acre, it is outside among the grounds where this home truly comes to life. Mature coral trees, vine-draped terraces, and lush, vineyard-inspired gardens set the mood, all interspersed with patios, stone pathways and hidden seating areas. And for entertaining, the fire-pit, freeform pool and canyon views form the perfect base for al fresco hosting. 

On the market for $6,395,000. Find out more at christiesrealestate.com

Where Else Does Chris Evans Own Homes? 

Boston, Massachusetts

Returning to Chris Evans’s home town in Massachusetts, he and his wife Alba Baptista built a home in the Boston burbs around September 2023. Now their primary residence, the couple welcomed their daughter Alma Grace Baptista Evans there in October 2025. 

Lisbon, Portugal

When they’re not in the states, the stars are said to spend time in a Portuguese holiday home that they purchased in 2024. Alba, whom Evans married in 2023, is originally from Portugal, and so the stars frequently return to the region where she grew up.
