I have finished my first week at Crossfit Round Rock and it has been nothing short of spectacular…read more Adrien, Landon, Tegra, and everyone attending the classes are some of the nicest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I am working on starting a career in law enforcement and need to get into shape to pass the physical. Aside from that it would be great to be fit anyways. I have been having trouble keeping motivated on my own, and also lack the knowledge necessary for good results. My friends from my hometown always told me about crossfit, but I have always been a stubborn do it yourself-er. It took my fitness instructor from the police department telling me that crossfit is the absolute best way to get into shape. So I started looking. After about a month of looking around I found Crossfit Round Rock. I called Landon and got signed up a week later. I have been sore pretty much since then. In just one week, I have already learned so much, and I have to say I can definitely tell I am going to be addicted to the place very soon. Some of the great things about these guys, aside from how friendly they are and how fun they make the workouts, is they can tailor the workouts to any age or fitness level. Before every workout they go up to each of us individually and make sure we understand what we are doing, and make recommendations as to what weight to use, and also make changes to the exercise if your not capable of doing it entirely. They keep you focused and motivated the entire time, and refuse to let you quit. Aside from the workouts they have health seminars that go over the proper nutrition and help you to develop the proper diet to maximize your results. Crossfit is the place to be whether your 18 or 60, an athlete or a couch potato, it doesn't matter. I strongly encourage you to check it out and see for yourself.

I found Crossfit Round Rock through Yelp in late Dec of 2011. At the time, I was at an all-time low…read morefrom a fitness standpoint. I hadn't set foot in a gym for over 2 years and my nutrition was just plain sad. I needed something different than a regular gym. I was looking for a place that would put me through intense workouts that I'd never seen before, a place that held me accountable and kept me motivated, and ultimately a community of people all working towards their fitness goals. I found all of that and more at CFRR. My experience has been amazing. I'm on my fifth full month there going 3 times a week and have dropped 20 lbs and 10% body fat. The workouts are tough but rewarding. Crossfit brings out your competitive spirit which is a big part of my ability to stick with the program and push myself beyond my perceived personal limits . The coaches(Coach Mark especially) and other members are all really great people and it's just an extremely positive place to be. You don't just clock in and clock out like at a normal gym. You show up and compete, work your tail off with other members, set personal records, and then reflect on how you just owned or got owned by the workout of the day. I just can't say enough about it. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

I started my fitness journey in September with owner Chris as my personal trainer. After losing…read moresome weight, I desperately needed to gain strength and endurance. After talking with Chris, we came up with a plan, and I could not be happier with the results so far. He is patient with a novice like me, taking time with helping me learn proper form and pushing me so I can build muscle and feel strong as I get up there in age. Are there days that I don't want to go work out? Absolutely! But Chris always makes it worth the effort and with his knowledge and abilities, he's helped me get stronger, move better and feel more confident.

One of those changes being going from weighing 250 pounds to 158. The first 45 pounds I lost on my own. The second 45 pounds (and the more difficult half to lose) I lost at ATX Gym. I worked with both Max and Kevin and they were both professional, knowledgeable and truly masters of their field. Not only did they help develop and maintain a training plan custom tailored for me and my goals, they also took the time to teach me what I was doing, why I was doing it and how to do it properly with good form. They were also highly motivational, offering encouragement to keep going, keep pushing my limits and and not give up. "It's not how you start, it's how you finish" - Max I've recently stopped going to ATX Gym, but I take with me everything I've gained and everything I've learned and continue to apply it as I live this new life with strength & confidence. Thank you Max & Kevin for everything!

If you're looking for personal training without the exorbitant cost, classes you actually WANT to…read morego to, or something like CrossFit without the cult, then look no further! ATX Gym has you covered. It's small, intimate and efficient. From what I've seen, the full spectrum of fitness levels finds a home here from those who could do Olympic lifts in their sleep to those who are just getting their feet wet (me). The classes always have a purpose and a plan but offer a lot of variety. Weightlifting, strength straining, booty building workshops, yoga, stretch, calisthenics, cardio conditioning, HIIT, dance--There's something for everyone. That's key for me personally, as I tend to get bored really fast and lose interest if it's the same thing every day. And the classes are small! No more than 6 people, which is the sweet spot between getting personal training and enjoying the comradery of others. It definitely helped me feel less intimidated, because let's be honest... walking into a group of strangers in unflattering workout clothes not knowing what to expect can be anxiety inducing. Lacey (owner and trainer) was so sweet, warm and welcoming! I felt welcomed immediately by her and the other few people in our group that were super supportive. Lacey and Max are knowledgeable hands-on owners that run their own classes and really invest a lot of time and energy into you. They really took a lot of time and stayed late with me to go over nutrition, set goals, and help me choose what classes would be best for me. Give this bad ass locally owned gym some love!

From the very moment I walked in the door, the atmosphere was welcoming and encouraging! The entire coaching and nutrition staff is dedicated, passionate, knowledgeable and completely committed to helping you achieve your total wellness goals.

I came across a Facebook ad for an F45 "Free 6-Week Comeback Challenge." Since I'm on a health…read morejourney, I thought, "Okay, something different. Let me check it out." The second I filled out the form, I got a call. Lots of questions, which was fine, but my first red flag was when I asked about pricing and how the "free" challenge worked. Before I could finish my question, the subject changed. I was told pricing varies by person, but nobody would explain the free part. I scheduled an appointment anyway because I wanted to see what the hype was about. Before the appointment, I got several texts, including one asking what type of protein shake I wanted. Remember that part for later. When I arrived, it was so dark I wasn't sure anyone was there. I filled out paperwork that mostly repeated the questions I had already answered over the phone. Then I saw a question that said: "If you are not the primary financial decision-maker, please reschedule with your spouse present." Red flag number two. Immediately I thought, "This is about to be a sales pitch." I never got a tour. Nobody explained the classes or how the workouts worked. Instead, I was taken to the back and questioned about my health journey. I explained that I've successfully lost weight before, work with a dietitian, and that my biggest struggle lately has simply been motivation due to some personal things that started around December. The response? Basically, everything I was doing "wasn't working." Wait a damn minute. I've only been struggling for a few months. I wasn't there because I don't understand nutrition or exercise. I wanted to see if group fitness would help with motivation and accountability. Then my dietitian started getting discredited despite him knowing almost nothing about her recommendations or my situation. Every explanation somehow got met with, "Well, it's not working." The facility itself appeared clean at least I think it did. The lights were never fully turned on, so I was basically evaluating the gym in mood lighting . Thankfully my iPhone can make a dark room look like it has light. Then we got to pricing. The "free" six-week challenge was suddenly around $699 and included coaching, classes, meal plans, body scans, and other services. My immediate thought was: Where exactly was the free part? The conversation The second option required an upfront payment, a 12-month commitment, and weekly payments. I explained that I don't make financial decisions on the spot. I like to go home, think about it, compare options, and then decide. That wasn't received very well. The conversation became more about getting me to commit than helping me determine whether the program was a good fit. At one point I was basically told I could either commit or keep doing what I was doing which apparently "wasn't working." Then came the final straw. I was told women spend money on hair, nails, and shopping and could redirect those funds toward fitness. Sir... You don't know me. I budget carefully, and even if I did spend money that way, that's none of your business. Before leaving, I asked if I could observe a class. The answer was no because apparently if people leave, they don't come back. And looking at a class is not going to determine anything. No trial was offered now I see several trial offers online for lower than what I was offered which was nothing Funny thing is, I'm exactly the type of person who leaves, sleeps on a decision, researches it, and then comes back if it makes sense. In the end, I chose not to join. My issue isn't that they charge for services. My issue is advertising a "Free 6-Week Comeback Challenge" and then presenting expensive packages without clearly explaining costs upfront. Ironically, the experience motivated me just not in the way they intended. It reminded me that I've reached my goals before and I can do it again. Oh, and remember that protein shake he texting me about? Yeah... nobody ever offered it when I got there. Guess we both left disappointed False advertising at its finest.

It's also disgusting and unsanitary how many guys work out there shirtless getting insane amounts of sweat on everything. Finally, and most frustrating, it's hard to get in. There should be an easy way to get in during normal business hours, but that's not the case. I went here for about two years because I liked using the hockey rink for sprint workouts and farmers carry and sled pushes, but they removed most of it and the space isn't that functional anymore. Most of the time, there are small children running around making things like squats tricky because they just show up next to you. They love to say it's $20/mo but that's basically the same price as the local Gold's and Anytime Fitness. Mostly the low rating is because they won't let me cancel my membership. I've moved out of state, and they want me to go in person to cancel. I've called and left messages, sent emails, and I continue to get emails asking for payment.

The gym is literally in a massive garage and has all the free weights, equipment, that you would access in a big box gym plus some equipment I still don't understand how it works. The vibe in the gym is inviting and all types of people come in to workout from weightlifters, cardio junkies, small group of friends keeping each other accountable, new to the gym goers. When I relocated back to Texas during the pandemic I wanted to make sure I connected with a personal trainer that understood the type of workouts I was doing previously, weight loss and strength goals, consistency, and using the gym for mental health. I researched gyms near me and came across Coach Andre's profile and reached out for a free consultation, I signed up on the spot for 3 sessions a week. In the last year I lost 30 lbs, can do a pull up (one, but it's a good one lol) ,and increased mobility and flexibility. I understand people can be intimidated to join a gym let alone hire a personal trainer but if you are looking to take that first step to wards a healthier (I still eat tacos, drink margaritas) lifestyle contact Coach Andre because he will meet you where you are today and help you meet your goals. I know this sounds corny but will share anyway, Coach Andre is a consistent person in my life and as much hell I give him he's not just my coach but my friend!

Several years ago my family went through something very traumatic that left me holding on mentally for dear life. So physically I went downhill and gained a lot of weight. I tried other gyms and other trainers to help me out of my rut over the years. I tried many diets too. Nothing clicked. None of it helped physically AND mentally. It only seemed to help physically which would lead me in a downward spiral mentally after a few short weeks. BBD works with all ages and all athletic abilities. They require you to commit for the long haul. No more fads, no more trying to get skinny. It's about building a new and improved you from the inside out while also seeing physical results that follow. Fred has taught me a whole new way to workout that has given me so much more confidence than I thought possible. My only regret is not finding this place sooner! I cannot wait to see my wins a year from now! One workout at a time!!

They really know their stuff especially when it comes to preventing injury and they work closely with you to modify the work out if you have preexisting injuries. This year I joined Fred's crew and he checked in frequently on my preexisting back and knee issues. We made sure to modify movements like lunges and dead lifts to movements that worked out the same muscle group but didn't aggravate my back and knees. Now that those muscle groups are much stronger I can do much more than I have ever been able to in the gym. The small group training format gives you the feel and attention of a personal trainer but is much more affordable. I moved away 3 years ago and when I came back I was at my heaviest I have ever been. BBD welcomed me back with open arms. I dropped a lot of weight, I feel better than ever, and I can't stop checking myself out in the mirror. I would give BBD 6 stars if I could.
