I have had other private training sessions and classes at Gold's Gym but never got the results like I do at Practical Fitness. Having little time to workout, it takes 30 minutes twice a week and you get amazing results. Also, with a few injuries, this method has kept me injury-free and has actually healed long standing old injuries. I have had a few great trainers and lately it has been Jen. A great trainer, motivator, and all around great person I enjoy Jen's approach. I highly recommend Practical Fitness Lakeway, you will love it.

However, practical fitness takes it to an entirely different level with the steady pace work out and the knowledgeable Kevin and Jeff and the rest of the staff. They guide, record, and push you to be the very best and have the most productive session possible. I've tried at least a dozen different types of work out strategies throughout my life, but nothing compares to Practical Fitness and steady pace in regards to value and the return you get from it. Great workouts and worth every penny!

This was my second time dropping in and the environment and energy is indescribable! I've been…read moredoing crossfit for 6 years and it's a breath of fresh air to see coaches really care about technique, proper warm ups and good programming. All the members so so welcoming and each coach, Sara and Taylor came up to say hi to me even though they were just doing class, they went out of their way to make my friend and me welcomed. Michael was teaching class and he was very accommodating in letting us do our programming. The coaches all look badasses and it just makes you want to workout haha! Can't wait to drop in again! Thank you for the hospitality! Side note: we misplaced our phone and two of the members helped us look for it when they didn't have to but that just shows what kind of community they have! Thank you again

Sadly, I had to pull out of this exceptional gym for a while, which is now rebranded as Karhu…read moreStrength, secondary to my crazy work schedule. However, I was a member for a little over two years and my body never looked better...even if I was consistently last on the scoring board. It doesn't matter if you are a retired athlete (lots of legitimate athletes in this place. Just randomly ask someone, 'so, what was your sport', and you'll get an answer ranging from 'i'm a trainer for UT Longhorns' 'I was a swimmer in college' 'i was in the CrossFit games'.) or just a shmo like myself, the coaches/leaders treat us all the same. Sara took me under her mama wing from the start. They are all great at spotting your weaknesses and working with you. And the community is exceptional...just good people all around. I hope I can get back someday, but you really need to be in the zone when you go in and my head is presently consistently occupied somewhere else (healthcare).

Personally I hate to work out, can't think of anything worse. But when I learned about Krav Maga…read moreand realized that I could have fun getting fit while learning how to kick people's butts, it was a match make in Heaven. I love Krav Maga because I learned real techniques that could be used in dicey situations. For instance, you spend a lot of time practicing how to get out of a variety of choke holds. I had an instance when I was working as a nurse in the ER where I was choked by a psychotic patient. I learned how to get out of a choke hold non-violently and also how to get out of it and really tear into someone if the situation was different:) Harry Shaw has to be one the nicest people I have ever met. He is really good at encouraging you to go further than you ever thought you could. If you are wondering what Krav maga is, here is a description off of their website: SELF DEFENSE Krav Maga is the official hand - to - hand combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It is also the preferred system for the U.S. Military and Law Enforcement personnel. Krav Maga is not a traditional marital art: *No Katas *No Rituals *No Nonsense Based on simple principles an instinctive movements, this reality-based system is designed to teach real self defense in the shortest possible time. Learn to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bearhugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, we teach people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter. Tested on the battle field and in the streets, Krav Maga's approach to self defense will make you safer and more secure.

In a few months, it will be four years since I've started CrossFit. I started at the Combine, and…read moreI've traveled to many other gyms throughout the country. I've seen some great coaching and facilities, and I've experienced some less than ideal situations. Time and again, I appreciate the excellent coaching, programming, and most importantly, the community at the Combine. Over the years, I have improved my strength, mobility, body composition, and learned what I'm truly capable of as an athlete. CrossFit is not easy, nor should it be. The coaches offer great support and encouragement, pushing athletes through discomfort that ultimately turns into remarkable results. Even when I've had to deal with injuries (before you even think it, no, I didn't get injured because of CrossFit), the coaches can modify and scale the workouts to ensure I still get a good session. At times, that meant doing something almost entirely different from the rest of the class. That is one of the defining reasons this coaching staff is fantastic. If you're interested in checking out CrossFit or feel it is time to try a different box, the Combine just might be what you've been looking for. The members are some of the nicest and self-motivated people I've ever met and that only makes the experience that much better.
