What a great experience so far. Requested information via the Yelp projects and John from Austin Simply Fit reached out promptly. 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! read more

Nick Deluz has truly changed the way I think about fitness, health, and strength. In the past year working out with him as my trainer 3x a week (from February 25-February 26) I lost 15 pounds... now it's May I've lost 20, but honestly, that is only a surface component of the impact I've felt. More importantly, I drink so much less without really noticing, I eat better and I've built muscle and carved out a lean version of me that's much stronger and less achy than the me I've known for so long. I feel stronger and more stable in my body than I have in my adulthood, and it really does make me feel like I have more energy. I think because I do. Nick's approach goes far beyond just "working out." He has helped me improve my stability, mobility, posture, and overall strength in a way that feels sustainable and deeply functional. It's also just so pleasant to work out with him, I never dread the gym because we go hard, but not so hard that you just want to get out of there, and yet the results are still great!One of the biggest changes I've noticed is in my shoulders and neck. I've had long-time sloped shoulders and neck tension that used to bother me by the end of every workday, and now I'm moving through my days essentially pain-free. Nick is thoughtful, knowledgeable, humble, encouraging, and incredibly good at building a program around your actual body, your goals, and your life. I feel stronger, healthier, more confident, and more connected to my body because of his training. I cannot recommend Nick enough!! See my before and after - not that the outside is really what matters most, but how you feel inside. read more

Been going to Austin Simply Fit for about a month now. It's a very clean gym and with personalized sessions it's never crowded. Sarah Carpenter Nwanyanwu is an amazing trainer- she's got a balanced approach offering guidance and support. She also shares helpful tips to make sure I don't injure myself and keeps the sessions fun yet challenging. They offer 30 min sessions so it helps you maintain a consistent practice - never thought I'd look forward to working out in a gym! read more

I've been training with Shay for about 6 months and have seen HUGE improvements in my health, body, and strength. Shay is extremely knowledgeable and has tailored our program to my needs and requests. She gives me the hardest workout of my life in 30 minutes. I have been recommending Shay and ASF to all my friends! read more

Small but mighty gym with quick and efficient workouts, all amenities you need. My best friend joined, then my partner, now me! Nick is a great trainer. Bonus points: I just realized I think they're woman-owned! Move it or lose it, love. We only get this once. read more

I have been working out with Eric at ASF- Central for 2.5 years, and (at 51 years old) I am the strongest I've ever been. The ASF team keeps a positive, friendly environment in the gym that makes it fun to show up consistently, and the tailored, efficient programs are excellent for busy people. Everything is geared towards making sure that you're structurally sound as you work towards your goals, but they're flexible enough to listen to what you're trying to achieve, and customize your work to get there. Perhaps the biggest endorsement is that I can say that I really look forward to my sessions with Eric, and do everything I can to make it to every appointment because of how good I feel about what we accomplish. read more

Absolutely beautiful place, very professional staff. Always clean and it just feels like home. If you're thinking about signing up or trying it out, I 1000000% recommend you request to train with Vincent Maier. He's just a ray of sunshine, super knowledgeable, always with a smile on his face and the best thing about him is that HE LISTENS. He will work with you so you can achieve your goals whatever they are! read more

ASF is one of the best local personal training gyms I've been a part of. I've been working with Eric Brooks for about a year and I've consistently improved my health, strength and dropped nearly 40 pounds. Eric is consistent, positive, knowledgeable and Motivating as an athlete. read more

Just started my personal training experience here. My trainer Amanda is awesome. She takes time with me to make sure I know exactly what I'm doing, shows me how to perform the exercise and pushes me through the workout. The gym equipment is all well maintained. The gym is small but there's only trainers and their trainees so at most there's about four other people in the room. For me this is absolutely great. I like the locations as well. With one near my house and one near my work there's always a way for me to get my workouts in. I have really enjoyed my experience so far. Looking forward to the progress I'm looking for. read more

I love Austin Simply Fit and the Excellent and Professionalism of their trainers, especially Coach Sierra, who has been my trainer for the past few months. I already feel a difference in my body and muscles. At 57 years old, I have had several personal trainers for over 25 years. Coach Sierra really knows how to formulate a work out plan that not only makes a difference in my body, especially with squats to improve my legs but also changes up my work out regiment, so it never feels routine. I highly recommend her to anyone that refuses to grow old without a fight. read more

Absolutely the best gym and trainers ! When you join, you're joining a true family and support system. ASF provides personalised training sessions and their staff are experts. This is not your typical gym so if you're looking for a truly professional setting with a team of experts who walk the talk, this is the place for you ! read more

I've worked with several trainers over the years, and Nick Adams quickly turned into one of my all-time favorites. I was incredibly apprehensive joining a new gym and finding a new trainer, particularly during a pandemic. However, Nick always listens to me, providing encouragement and support every step of the way. He checks in to see how I'm feeling and pays close attention to what works and doesn't work, tweaking my program as necessary. Nick is flexible and has moved his schedule around more than once to accommodate me. He is also very open to incorporating things I actually enjoy into my program, like kettlebells and ropes. After a training session with Nick, I always leave feeling accomplished and energized! Other things in general I like about ASF: friendly and welcoming community, great location (central), nice facilities, plenty of parking and appointment only, so it doesn't get too crowded. I don't say this lightly: after a long gym hiatus and sharp decline in my overall motivation and strength, I'm finally coming back to life again! read more

Update after training with Austin Simply Fit for 2+ years: Long story short, as of last week, I no longer train with Sierra after finding out she had been charging me for sessions that were either canceled by her on the same day, she no-showed, or weren't scheduled at all. There were at least 20 sessions (while being charged $650 for every 10 sessions) and that's just going back to June, 2020. ASF was a community that really fostered trust, especially since the sessions here are at a premium compared to some other places, but I previously felt like the value / trust was definitely there. Now I don't. - Read on if you'd like to learn more in detail - Because things looked off financially, I looked closer at my expeses for the past couple months. After noticing an unusual frequency of session billing (my card was on file at the gym), comparing our training schedule, text messages, and the online billing system, things didn't add up. Sure enough, there were more session charges than sessions that actually happened. I texted her about it and did eventually get a partial refund for many of the sessions, but a lot of it came directly from her through a payment app instead of the gym itself. Not too sure of the policy there, but it was strange that a lot of the refund didn't come from the gym itself and in the end I'm still at a loss financially by at least $100. What's also strange is that WellnessLiving shows different sessions on the mobile vs desktop versions. Even if it was a system error, Sierra never asked what the dates were to look and see or for screenshots to check the system; she just asked how many days I noticed, said she would comp me sessions, and then said that she has too many clients to keep track of. How is it possible that I was charged for sessions when she was out of town or days we weren't scheduled on? Does she just bill clients regardless? Is this something that just happened to me or are other folks having the same issue and don't know it yet? I'm not sure. read more

I made a first appointment. Trainer called a few days before the appt to talk. On the appointment time no one showed up. The doors were locked. I waited outside for 15 minutes before leaving. This was not early in the morning or late. It was at 2:45pm. Time is valuable, I won't be back. I'll find somewhere to work out that keeps their appointments. read more

Makes workout fun and anticipated by this old man! Krista - the owner - has a dedication to her profession and gym - that makes this a place one of the only places in town with trainers that really are and modify a program specific to your needs.... I would especially recommend Sierra - that's if you can get a tome w her!!! read more

I am SO happy I found this place. I have never worked out regularly in my life but now in my early 60's, my doctor told me that the quality of my life from here on out will have a lot to do with finally taking care of my body by exercising regularly. that site finally tipped the scales for me... This place is close to where I live and work, and the brief, 30 minute workout is easy to fit into my schedule. The gym itself has a chill, calm, "professional" vibe to it. The trainers are both friendly and businesslike, and I like that a lot. I am going three times a week, which is unheard of for me! I feel really good about myself for finally working on my health in this way. I would never, ever keep this commitment to fitness without personal training. I highly recommend Austin Simply Fit. Special shout out to my trainer, Robyn. :-) read more

I really enjoy working with trainer Sierra. She is efficient yet also motivating and friendly. She made me feel like my goals are achievable and my challenges can be overcome. Even though she is training me virtual, I really enjoy the experience! read more

I really love my experience at Austin Simply Fit. My sister and I have been working with our trainer Brendan for a few months and he's amazing. His sessions are ALWAYS different so you'll never get bored. When training with Brendan, there have been plenty of times when I think, "WTF did I get myself into?" but I always feel awesome when I leave and I've noticed that I have a healthier and stronger body. Brendan always challenges and pushes you to perform at your best. I can't recommend him enough. read more

It's a challenge to get back into working out after a long stent of not working out and trauma to the body. My boyfriend had been going to Austin Simply Fit for a few years and suggested I try it. I was set up with Sierra as my trainer and the fear was quickly put aside because of her extreme professionalism and hilarious personality. Even when doing an exercise that is completely taxing to the body and the mind Sierra supports you mentally and emotionally. The knowledge base of the trainers at ASF is incredible and it is a positive and supportive gym environment. They can help with easing you into movement and form correctly to prevent injury. If you are looking to get back into working out for fun or for losing weight I can't stress enough how beneficial it is to get a trainer. Sierra's expertise in strength and conditioning, muscle recovery, and her sense of humor keeps you wanting to go to the gym. Do yourself a favor and ease back into it without the stress and anxiety and train with Sierra. read more

Been working with trainer Brendan now for a few years and need to update this review to reflect that! Brendan is great! He's caring but challenging and he wants to help me get the most out of my time at the gym. He has adapted my training based on various injuries I have had as well as areas that I need to strengthen. Brendan is a swell trainer! I also do strong man stuff with trainer Eric on Saturdays. This drop-in class is new and very fun and challenging. I look forward to getting stronger, maybe even strong as @#%$! read more

I've been training here for a few months with Brendan and have really enjoyed it. I'm a beginner, but have been injured doing other strength work before, so I wanted to go to a trainer who really focused on form. Brendan has been great about making sure I am doing the exercises correctly, with appropriate technique. He pushes me, but is always very positive and encouraging. He has tailored my training to work on the strength I need to be a better runner. I always feel great at the end of the workout. It's very reassuring to have someone planning the workout, watching the technique, and managing the weight. read more

Came for my 7am consult appointment and the doors were locked, no one inside the burnet location. I received no response back via text from my trainer after texting him I arrived. This was a waste of my valuable time. Will look elsewhere for my fitness needs. First impressions are important. read more

David at Austin Simply Fit made my pants fall off! (Wait, that doesn't sound quite right... I'll explain in a second) OK, here we go. I have a health issue that makes my life interesting, and one of the effects from it is that it is very easy for me to gain weight and very hard to lose it. I've actually been doing a fairly good job on losing weight, but I wanted to do more than just get lighter, I also wanted to get fitter. And David has helped with that, considerably. He helps me work out with free weights, machines, and other equipment, and talks me through my "whiny-baby" moments, which are frequent and annoyingly high-pitched. He's always positive and pleasant, and he's very good about scheduling and honoring his commitments. So, as far as the whole pants thing... slowly but surely, I've been getting a bit smaller. While my arms aren't totally tight yet, they aren't super-flappy like they were for a while, there, and my legs are looking pretty good. But my waist has showed enough of a difference where I'm going to have to buy a whole bunch of new pants soon, because they won't stay up and I don't always like belts. So if I am walking kind of fast or dancing or something, I have to be very careful to keep my pants hitched, because otherwise everyone's going to see my (much nicer) butt! All things considered, it's a pretty awesome problem to have. read more

First of all, I am not a yelper...and don't usually take the time to write reviews about businesses or people unless I genuinely feel over the top excited about the quality of service or care I have received from them. On a whim, I bought a groupon for ASF and went to the Leander location having not read the fine print on the pass...which was cool because I got the meet Mark, the owner and he gave me a fierce workout and sent me over to the Burnet location to work out with KT (who this review will really be about because she is awesome!) KT texted me before our first session, and I immediately felt excited about working with her...I could tell that she was very personable and super encouraging. When I showed up, KT welcomed me to the gym (which is a space that is usually intimidating to me...I'm a yogi, not a gym rat) and I felt very much at ease. She was, as I suspected, very personable and has a great disposition. She is also insanely knowledgeable when it comes to body awareness and how to push me just beyond my edge without overdoing it. I have to say that my one session per week at ASF is a highlight for me...and paired with my yoga practice, I can already see (and others can too) visible changes in my body after just 7 or so weeks! I feel stronger than ever! I'm also a massage therapist, and having built more strength, I can work more effectively without hurting myself...it's awesome for those really busy days at my job. I can tell that I'm starting to move through the world differently. I felt the overwhelming need to sing KT's praises because she is an awesome trainer and person! read more

"I will not accept mediocrity" That is one of the mantras at Austin Simply Fit. And as a client of ASF, it fits perfectly for what I want out of a gym. I showed up in mid-February at my highest weight, ever. I felt lousy, uncomfortable. My dad had just passed away a month earlier and a one-year relationship I had just ended. It was definitely time to make some changes in my life. There is so much that I love about this gym, but the best part is the feeling of community that Mark sets in the gym. You walk in, and any number of people are saying hi. I do the small group classes, and I have gotten to know quite a few "regulars" in my classes. We push each other, cheer for each other when we set PRs, suffer together and achieve together. As for the actual workout regimen, it fits me like hand-in-glove. The strength building classes are intense but incorporate a good amount of variety to keep you on your toes. The dynamic conditioning classes are challenging and fun and incorporate timed intervals with weight-based exercise. Sometimes the weight is your own body weight, sometimes it's resistance bands, and sometimes it's sandbags or dumbbells. It's always fun though. When I walked in for the first time, I couldn't do a sit-up, could not hold a plank and definitely couldn't do a pushup (full or modified). 3 months later, I can do plenty of ab work and can hold a plank over a minute. I just did my first real pushup in years and the inches are falling off of me. I'm looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship with ASF! read more

Vilita is the best personal trainer I've ever had! She is patient with those just starting their journey, encouraging, and makes everything clear to understand. She takes the time to get to know her clients, understands their strengths/weaknesses, and how best to achieve personal success. She also is amazing at making adjustments/accommodations when needed! She tailors workouts to the individual. I highly recommend Vilita for anyone looking to achieve fitness goals! read more

So we started coming here about a month and a half ago (I've worked with Brendan and my wife with Molly) and this place is great. The sessions are cheaper than my wife would pay at Lifetime or 24 Hour Fitness and the interaction is much more personal. I've already lost 10 pounds and look a lot better. In fact I feel better and I have to start buying pants I haven't fit into in years. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a personal workout and results. And if you do, check out my man Brendan. read more

My son is a McCallum baseball player. When I wanted to get him some extra strength and mobility during the off-season, I took him to Sierra. First off, I completely trust her approach which is to teach proper technique and good body alignment so that none of her athletes get injured. In the six weeks since he started, he has leaned up and I have personally seen a strength and confidence improvement. I could not recommend any personal trainer any more highly than Sierra.? read more

I hate to workout. When I started with Jay a couple of months ago I could not walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. After being put on medication for hypertension and diagnosed as pre-diabetic I decided I had to get my s together. I have been meeting with Jay twice a week for almost 2 months and really enjoy it. Maybe not the actual working out, but how I feel. I am even going to switch to 3 times a week. Jay keeps me accountable and challenges me, which I really need. Lets be real...personal training is expensive, but Austin Simply Fit doesn't cost more than other places for the same services. How much is your health worth? read more

Austin Simply Fit is the bomb! Nikki, my trainer there has helped me transform my body over the last 6 months. I came in at my highest weight feeling crappy about myself and now I feel so much more confident as a whole person and strong. She is so encouraging and knowledgable. I used to dread working out, now I look forward to it and know I will get a fantastic work out when I come to my twice weekly private training sessions. All the trainers here are friendly, non judgemental and are there to help. read more

I started working out at Austin Simply Fit in January 2013. I started with Mark and he was awesome! He paired me with Meryl Carey and i've been training with her three times a week since then. Meryl is phenomenal! Her attention to my form, breathing and ability makes the workout great each time. I have gotten stronger faster than ever before with these 30 minute workouts. It's fast paced and that makes it easy to do 3 x per week. As far as scheduling, Meryl is great about keeping my schedule. If I need to re-schedule, we find a new time that works and she emails me an updated Appointment Change reminder. Their system works great with my planning. Meryl's super friendly personality is great to work with. She is able to push me while still being a positive friendly person each time. A couple of times, I've trained with Brandon Morr as well as Meryl was out of town. Brandon is an awesome trainer as well! Brandon was in sync with what Meryl and I had been doing in my prior workouts. I didn't feel like they skipped a beat during the substitution. For the first time in my life, I've truly enjoyed training so many times per week. I highly recommend Austin Simply Fit to anyone interested in a serious speedy workout. read more

I work out for 30 minutes a week. And I'm stronger than I've ever been in my life. That's thanks to Mark at Austin Simply Fit! He's taken me from "can't lift a bag of groceries" to "challenging strangers to arm wrestle". [I still lose but I enjoy the effort.] Mark's extensive knowledge of body mechanics also allowed him to safely guide my recovery from a shoulder injury. I trust that he knows better than I do what my body is capable of. I always look forward to Mark's sense of humor and quiet encouragement. He's not a "Rah rah you can do it" guy, and I'm glad. He seems to like it when, mid exercise, I tell him I hate him. Mark, you sadistic jerk, what would I do without you? read more

I have been working out with Darryl for about 6 weeks now and am so excited to see the progress towards my goals already! I decided to give Austin Simply Fit a try after the lack of results from many other workout programs. Darryl took the time to discuss my goals with me and put a plan together specifically tailored towards my goals. I feel challenged during every single workout. At this rate, I have no doubt I'll get the result I need in time for my wedding!! I enjoy training with Darryl and would highly recommend him! read more

I have been training with Sierra at ASF for about two months now. For the past two years I have been struggling with muscle imbalances and muscle holding patterns that have resulted in severe nerve pain and diminished athletic ability. Sierra has helped me make more progress in this short time than I have made with any other training strategy since my physical issues began. She is extremely knowledgable, focussed, engaged. I cannot emphasize how important this is for any client that is truly passionate about improving their level of fitness. She pays attention to your every move and is never distracted. She is also very patient and will take the time to communicate very clearly what needs to be done inside and outside of the gym in order to make progress. Her clients health and well being are her number one priority. I couldn't ask for a better trainer or a better gym. read more

The ASF crew has always been really great to me. I love that place and the energy! Extremely professional but fun at the same time. Working with Sierra has always been great too. So kind and a pro for sure. I recommend her and ASF to a lot of folks! read more

I've now been going to ASF for about 3 years - so they are obviously doing something right. My trainer for the last 2+ years has been Brendan Morr who I like. He knows my limits and I let him stretch me. This gym suits me great and I have no desire to change at this time. I think any personal trainer is down to the rapport you have with them providing they have the skill and experience. My blood pressure is right where it should be and my doctor thinks its great. Im a little older than most and its gratifying to find I can keep up with the rest of them. Well sometimes! read more

Thrilled with the results we are seeing in my daughter since she started training with Sierra. She's a senior in high school and now I wish I would have gotten her into this gym even sooner. We could not be happier with the results. Not only physical results you can see in her muscle definition but also in her level of play as an athlete. I've long heard that lifting helps to prevent injuries out on the field, but it's great to see her increased confidence and improvements as a player since starting at this gym only just a few months ago. Her stamina has improved and she is better able to battle it out on the soccer field and compete for the ball often taking on several other players and winning. I know that she is getting proper guidance on how to lift safely and that gives me peace of mind. read more

I am recovering from back surgery & working with Brendan at ASF as part of my recovery process. Brendan is attentive & creative. He is always learning new processes & sends me pics/videoes of stretches. He asks how I am each time I come in & makes changes to the workout as we go along. He gives me a high five each time I leave & tells me to let him know how I feel after workouts. Recovery is challenging as you can't really 'push' yourself...which I was used to doing. Brendan keeps me motivated & focused during the recovery process. Reminding me that it's a marathon, not a race. Honestly, he is just a great guy! read more

I trained with Vilita or "V" as I like to call her for over 2 years and she is a very good trainer. She is supportive, encouraging and always on time. She's also a really cool person who listens. During the time we trained together, she became a friend. While we had some good routines, she also changed things up on me so that my body could be the best it could be. I recommend her without any reservations! read more
