Everyone is super friendly, from the front desk to the instructors to the fellow students. I am thankful every day for Knockout. I am physically stronger than I have ever been in my life, but it is not just physical, there are a lot of mental benefits too. I booked a private session before my first group class so I would understand the moves a bit as I had zero kickboxing experience, and did not want to feel lost in a class. It was definitely worth it. All the instructors are helpful if you have questions about form. Practice makes perfect and sometimes it takes a minute for you to fully understand what you doing. I've been a loyal patron since 2019 and have no intentions of slowing down.

Archetype Boxing Packs a Punch…read more I waltzed into this gym a couple of years ago not really knowing what to expect. I've taken a bunch of classes in everything from hip hop to making rugs. But fitness places I'm a little more discerning. What would I be learning? Are the coaches any good? What's the vibe like? Archetype delivers on all fronts. If you're an experienced boxer and or fitness fanatic, you'll love it. If you're an absolute beginner (me) you'll learn to do stuff you've never done. And everyone there is super duper nice. The workout is a brisk 45 mins and you will be learning new stuff every day. The space is clean, plenty of parking, and the gear is great. They hold these Fight Camps which are a really great way to change your body while learning something new. The coaches are top notch and have the experience and welcoming disposition that is really nice to be around. If you want to try out boxing or have been doing it your entire life, I can't recommend this place enough. You will work hard and you will have a blast.

Unexpected benefits: - [ ] greater knowledge of myself, more energy, no pain, and I *enjoy* workouts! Recommendation: - [ ] This guy is phenomenal !!! Call him up and schedule an assessment today ; you'll be so grateful that you did! Now for the extended version... Hands down, this guy is THE BEST personal trainer I've ever had the pleasure of working with! His encyclopedic knowledge, combined with an engaging, easy to follow teaching style, and his own custom, fully-outfitted, conveniently located gym, make training sessions something I genuinely look forward to twice a week. And I am the type of person that use to avoid workouts at all costs. Just so you can understand how incredible this is, let me give you a bit of my backstory... About a year ago... A demanding, low movement job, combined with being a single mom to 4 kids, and a significant number of life stressors already meant that I constantly had to watch my weight. I managed it though, mostly by dancing 3 times a week and walking for a couple of hours most nights a week. THEN COVID HIT. At first I was okay without the dancing, but then came a family emergency... and the walks had to stop too. In spite of all my efforts, my weight crept up. And up. And up. A month ago... I was fast approaching my heaviest weight ever. Now, I've struggled with my weight my entire life, so I knew what I had to do. But it just wasn't working. I was in a deep downward spiral, and I couldn't get out. I started to get depressed. I had received a gym membership for Christmas, but I didn't really know what I was doing, and the embarrassment kept me from doing anything effective. I was disgusted with myself and wanted to quit going (and would have, if it hadn't been a gift.) Then my boyfriend told me I should try his personal trainer. Nathan "Nate" Stowe did my physical evaluation to determine what I could handle. Based on that, he designed a personalized workout just for me - taking into account my preferences, old injuries, life situation and current ability level. I'm not going to lie... the first workout, it took me an hour to make it through the warm up. Just. The. Warm up. I would have been embarrassed, but Nate was so calm and knowledgeable- explaining the process at every turn, honestly telling me how long it would realistically take to reach my goal, providing a nutritional program to complement the workouts... and by the next week, I was already doing better. Now... A month in, I've lost ten pounds, gained *so* much strength, and most importantly, regained the confidence that I will get back into shape in time for the end of Covid, so I can go dancing again. And, I look forward to my workouts, knowing that Nate will give me *exactly* what I need with his magical and mathematical ability to determine precisely what I can do every time - without pain, without injury, and without wanting to give up! His approach to exercise - keeping the body safe and functional for a long, happy and mobile life - is fully backed by science, knowledge, and years of experience. His gym is socially distanced, safe, and non-threatening. The people who go there have a sense of family in a way I've never felt at a big box gym. I've never experienced a single moment of discomfort there. In my experience... Nate under-promises and over-delivers on results. He offers a wide range of services, including remote workouts, as well as nutrition plans. Most importantly, he follows up with me at exactly the level I need - always laid-back, never pushy, never bossy. He texts to see how I'm doing with exactly the right frequency. Often with personal trainers, I constantly feel their urgency to book the appointment because they need to keep their business going. I never fault them - it's a tough business to make money in - but the guilt was always in my mind, pushing me to book an appointment I couldn't afford... or just quit. With Nate, I've never once felt that he is in this just for the money. He really cares about his clients. When I told him I needed to take some time to get my finances back in order, he sent me all the information I would need to continue working out on my own - no pressure at all. You better believe that I'll be going back too!

Scheduled a call to review my needs and was able to get into Eric's schedule for a Friday assessment. The gym is quaint and quiet, I've driven by a million times. The parking is a bit odd, a few spots up front where you have to reverse onto S Lamar when exiting...sooo that can be a challenge. They have parking in the rear of the building which is great however there is a single entry way and well, not sure how multiple cars could park and get out. Just know your reverse skills need to be on point. The gym inside has everything you'd need and since it's not open to the public it's just the clients and trainers. That means no waiting for machines and no one looking at you while you're there. Eric is great, he's very easy to talk to and made the whole experience easy. Upon arrival we walked through the questionnaire filled out online to find out the why behind the personal training inquiry. He then did a body scan for weight and fat %, took blood pressure three times as well. Gave a quick tour of the gym and how things work then it was onto the physical movement assessment. Nothing too crazy, range of motion and flexibility tasks. Took an hour for the initial visit and came back the next day to finish a few small exercises then learn the warm up needed prior to sessions. No membership needed as you buy the session in backs, 5, 10, 20 and can be used how you want. Like that there's no long term contract to sign. Session will start in the next week or so with focus on building/repairing the base/functional imbalances before getting into the fun part. Time will tell how this goes, wish me luck!
