Lateef and his team are the best! I've been coming here for just over a year and I'm not only notably stronger I look so much better naked ! The workouts are tough but the best thing is that they are ALWAYS different. It's never the same boring old routine. They recently got an infrared sauna too! Their class times align to people who work long hours in addition to people who don't work as you can attend the 6am or 7am classes ( that's where I'm at ) or the 12pm or 5:30pm classes. I enjoy this class so much more then I ever enjoyed Barre, Yoga or CrossFit. It's just a true combination of everything and that makes it so much more doable as it never gets boring. Random body parts are always sore. They also always provide alternatives if you have an injury. The class is super diverse. People of ALL ages and ALL weights. It's refreshing. You're not intimated but you're also motivated. Personal tip: If Lateef doesn't immediately respond to your email just email again. He's an actual owner hustler as he teaches so many of his classes and does a lot of personal training and he doesn't have an assistant so he juggles it all on his own. Fit Austin is totally worth it so don't get upset just send a follow up and he will respond. It's worth it!!!! read more

FIT Austin - Trainers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fit Austin is amazing! I have been attending their daily classes for years now and I can't say enough good things about it. I have an unlimited membership for $150 a month where I can go every day to the gym. They have different packages and price points though. Some people have told me my package is expensive and if you are one of those people, rearrange your budget so that you can come to Fit Austin. Seriously, I love this place and you get your money's worth! The classes are 45 minutes with a warm up and cool down and they are intense (in a good way). They are small and the trainers are great! The classes are always different and work different parts of your body. You will never get bored with the classes here! It really is almost like personal training without the high budget. Although from the reviews here and what I have heard, Lateef and the rest of the trainers are amazing at personal training. I have to give a shout out to Lane LeBlanc who is currently a trainer there. She is super great, friendly, very encouraging and knowledgeable. I always look forward to any class with her! You have many time options every day for the classes and everyone there is friendly. They have bathrooms, a water bottle fill up station and showers if needed and a new sauna! If you are looking for a gym, don't look any further. Whether you need personal training or want to go to classes, this is the place for you! read more

Fit Austin has been my find of the year. So if you live anywhere close you should absolutely try a free class! Once you do, assuming you're motivated to make a change in your life, you'll most definitely become hooked. The facility and equipment (free weights, treadmills, TRX, Infrared Sauna, bio-metrics reader etc.) are top-notch, the training staff is excellent, and the classes are great. For the classes, the staff certainly wants to help you see results, but you do train at your own pace. Which is a good thing because with like CrossFit (which I've done) workouts turn into competitions and competition lead to injury, Fit Austin is self paced. Ultimately, you're only competition is yourself and what you decide to put into it. Special shout out to Lane, who always brings the energy + excellent WODs to the table. Do yourself a favor, drop the gym membership that you rarely use and when you do you just got through the motions. Instead get into see the crew at Fit Austin where you might pay more but you'll absolutely get more out of it. Thanks Fit Austin! read more

Lateef is amazing. I've had good personal trainers in the past, but Lateef goes way, way above and beyond your typical trainer, and the facilities and equipment are top-notch too. He doesn't just prescribe you a few exercises and pushes you to work hard, he truly learns about your individual needs, focus and limitations, and helps you come up with reasonable objectives, putting together a plan that not only optimizes your workouts but also gives you the flexibility needed to adapt to real life scenarios. In other words, my experience with Lateef was life-changing: the knowledge, concepts, and exercises I've acquired working with him are something I can continue to practice throughout the rest of my life and they are sustainable too (i.e.: not a "quick fix" or some crazy short-term plan). Lateef's vast knowledge and experience across multiple disciplines, combined with his unique perspectives and insights is what makes all of this possible. Highly recommended! read more

I've been going to Fit Austin 2-3x a week for over a year now! I get personal training from Courtney and frequently attend the Optimize 45 classes with Lateef and Rylen. Working out with Courtney has been transformative for me - I started with her about a year postpartum when I was struggling to stand or walk for more than 10 min at a time without pain. She designed a really smart program for me in coordination with my physical therapist we were able to work past my injury! Today I'm in the best shape of my life and even training for a 10k. I was able to "graduate" from physical therapy some time ago but kept on with Courtney. She is such a bright light and so encouraging, always pushing me to do more but keeping me injury free. Highly recommend Courtney and all the trainers at Fit Austin. read more

I've been taking this class once a week for awhile now to mix up my normal routine workouts and I really like it. They make you work, but the class seems to go by so fast at the same time! read more

Oh, man. First of all, I am a fundamentally lazy person, and the gym-iest thing in my usual rotation is yoga and walking. BUT Jenn really does make you feel like you can do anything, and after a few months under your belt, you'll be a lot closer. She is supportive, but she'll also hold you accountable and not let you bs your way out of working hard. I hate to admit it, but working out with Jenn is fun. read more

I could not possibly be more grateful for Courtney Durando. As a pelvic floor physical therapist who works with pregnant and postpartum people, I've always been astounded at the care and thought she puts into her training. Courtney seems to have an intuitive understanding of what people need while also taking into account what they want. She's great at both taking it slow and introducing someone to fitness and strength training and progressing them all the way to kick butt workouts. If you're pregnant or postpartum, look no further, Courtney is your person. read more

FIT Austin has changed my outlook on fitness studios. I was a gym guy and didn't understand why anyone needed to pay for group exercise. I totally get it now. If I had to break it down: 1. The people - Lateef and Jenn are spectacular and have a great team of instructors. They really push you to your limits and that's where the real gains are IMO 2. The technique - HIIT style training is great for cardio and strength training. FIT in particular emphasizes movements and proper technique more than any other studio I have been to (I've tried others since joining FIT). 3. Convenience - I can leave my house and get back in about 1 hour. With my other life priorities, this makes a huge difference. 4. Price - Best bang for buck from what I have seen in the area. I am in better shape than I have been in a long time. I also don't have knee issues like I did when my workouts mostly consisted of running. Love this place! read more

The community at FIT Austin is unlike anything I've experienced at any other gym. I joined FIT a few weeks after I moved to Austin in 2017. I didn't know anyone, and adjusting to a new city was hard. Coming to classes and getting to know Lateef and Jenn and the other coaches and clients made me feel so much more grounded and connected to this city, and I am so grateful for it. I now talk about my "gym friends," who are an amazing range of people of different ages and backgrounds. The workouts are hard for everyone, no matter your fitness level, and always fun and energizing. When I signed up for the Austin half marathon earlier this year, Lateef was so excited about helping with training that he took me and a few other members on a preview run of part of the course early on a Sunday morning. Dedication! Anyway, I could go on, but if you're on this page, it means you should join. read more

I love all of my workouts. Everyday it is something new and I am constantly being challenged. This is my 5th year with Fit Austin and I love being a part of such and awesome group! Thank you Fit Austin for all of your support through the years! I feel stronger than I ever have! read more

I've been taking classes at FitAustin for a little over 2 months now, and I still absolutely love it. I take the circuit (body resistance, cardio and light weights) and TRX classes (HIIT workout meets Pilates Reformer Class) about three times a week. I can tell that I've gotten stronger, and I'm sure had I not started working out here during the holiday season, I'd already be seeing results on the scale. Lateef and Darrell are two of the best trainers that I've ever had. They keep you motivated and change the routines up daily so you're never bored with the workouts. Also, unlike a lot of the gyms around town, the trainers actually pay attention to what you're doing and make corrections and adjustments to your moves so that you're getting the most effective workout in the safest way. I really can't say enough about this place. The classes are small enough (about 10-14 ppl) to allow for personal attention, without paying personal training prices. Yes, it can be a punch to the wallet every month, but since I actually look forward to the classes, I think it is well worth it! read more

I consider FIT to be my second home and love it for so many reasons (see previous reviews that are still true today), but I wanted to write a specific review for the amazing Courtney Durando trainer extraordinaire! In addition to FIT's amazing small group fitness classes, you can also host events at FIT! I just had my bachelorette party last weekend and FIT hosted a private group workout for me and my girlfriends taught by the lovely Courtney! If you have ever taken one of her classes, you know how great of a trainer she is, but she is also amazing at hosting events and tailoring the event to exactly what you are looking for. All of my girlfriends are at different fitness levels and Courtney created a workout that everyone could do and that could also be scaled to be more or less challenging depending on what you are looking for. We had SO MUCH FUN. If you are looking to host a fun event, bachelorette workout, birthday workout, your name it, FIT is your place and Courtney is your girl. I wish I could do it all over again! read more

FIT Austin - Private bachelorette party workout taught by Coach Courtney D - I highly recommend hosting your next event at FIT!! - Trainers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been receiving personal training from Courtney Durando since October 2021, when I was 6 weeks postpartum after my second child. We started slow - which was a really good thing after baby #2 - and I can feel my body transforming as we continue through the program. Courtney is so knowledgeable about the postpartum phase about differences in your body that I would have never even realized. Plus, she makes working out fun and has connected me to other wonderful mom's in similar phases of life. Those 2 hours of my week are something I always look forward to! read more

Going to a class that's based on the TRX fundamentals is fantastic, not a lot of studios offer that. FIT Austin does a great job utilizing the equipment to its full ability! I really enjoyed the class, not only for the AWESOME workout, but the trainer and the people in my class were all smiling, laughing, and having a great time! read more

FIT Austin - Trainers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Lateef is what you are looking for- for all levels. Beginner? he gets it. Advanced ironman triathlete? he's got that too. I joined after the first visit because it was a great work out, good form and good attention to detail. If you need a coach and you want to get into your BEST POTENTIAL shape- give it a try... you will be feeling the good pain soon enough. Glad its down the street from my house... awesome. read more

I like to do my research and find the best fitness classes out there so these 5 star yelp reviews convinced me to try Fit Austin and wow, they were on the money! I look for variety and accountability, great teachers and good value. Fit Austin covers all of those requirements and then some! Lateef, D, Erica and all the coaches are all well-qualified, fun, welcoming and never intimidating. Location: Conveniently located off South Lamar, easy to find and parking is plentiful. Classes: 45-50 minutes, very effective and efficient because TRX suspension training is a great full body workout using just your body weight. They also use sand bags, bands, plyometrics, etc. I like the Fit Circuit class too because it mixes things up. My favorite thing about Fit Austin is that it's not intimidating and TRX is really adaptable to anyone, in any shape. You don't have to be in top form to keep up unlike a lot of Austin boot camps and cross fit workouts but stay consistent and you'll definitely get stronger with every class! Pricing is also reasonable compared other fitness studios in town! I would know... I've tried a lot of them!! Keep it up guys! read more

Ok, listen up...This is the place to go to get in the best shape of your life. I walked into FIT Austin without really having an expectation, but let me tell you...that was the most well rounded, total body workout that I have ever done, and it was FUN! They offer a core blasting workouts, with an emphasis on form and education. The TRX systems and workouts that Lateef & Darell use really isolate specific muscles and muscle groups to where I feel I am working out correctly. They do not let you quit, and are with you every step of the way. This is a fun workout without feeling like you are slaving away, doing the same old routine, not making any gains or progress. In fact I love it so much that I drive from North West Austin (2222 & 620) to their South Austin location just to get a workout in, and it is worth the drive. The bottom line is that FIT Austin is not an intimidating gym with rude (non-caring) trainers. It is a fun, energetic facility that I look forward to going to. Not only am I stronger, and more FIT, but I have learned so much from their instruction that I go out of my way to attend their events in the park just to get my FIT Austin fix. Yes that's right...I am a FIT Austin Junkie! Their moto says it all; Fun Intelligent Training read more

LOVE this gym!!!! There is a great sense of community here and it's the people that keep me coming back! 5-Stars!

It's like getting a personal trainer and your own cheerleading squad. Everyday is so full of variety to challenge and bring out the best in you. The class size is small, providing you with plenty of 1:1 attention. Your fellow classmates are there to get down to business and that attitude encourages you along the way. Because each excercise has modifications you can make it as challenging as you'd like it to be. It's all about you and each time I finish a class I feel accomplished. I'm getting stronger each week, my cardio is improving and I can push harder. The first step is taking a class, what are you waiting for? :) read more

FIT Austin is the best workout in town! Small classes, amazing coaches, and challenging but fun workouts. The time flies by because of the format and great music. Lateef has created something really amazing here. SO much better than Orange Theory. This is the place to go if you like interval training workouts! read more

I joined for almost a month and then hurt my ankle. I have to say I was starting to look great and the exercises really do put you in shape. I now play it safe at a regular gym peddling a bicycle watching cable. read more

I'm SO glad I found FIT! Lateef is an amazing trainer and is running a wonderful business. It's nice to workout and be challenged in a supportive environment that leaves you feeling good about yourself! The classes are kept small so you get lots of personal attention, modifications if needed, and feedback on form. The gym is always spotless. The TRX workouts are fun and really into your core! I also love how the gym feels like a community and people are so nice and friendly. I can't say enough good things about FIT Austin! If you're interested you can trial a free week- sign up on their website. read more

Fit Austin is my happy place! The space is not to big and not to small, the equipment is not over whelming and it gives me an amazing full body workout. I've worked out regularly in a large well equip gym for a good 10 years. It wasn't until joining Fit Austin that I really felt fit. I truly see a change in body and I owe all the credit to Fit Austin. They rock!! read more

Super challenging workout but felt great afterward. Lateef was super helpful in offering modifications as I'm super new to that level of workout. Once I'm not so sore I'll be back! read more

I just finished my first 30 days with Fit Austin. This place is wonderful, y'all! The trainers are all so fun and motivating. Each class is different, which keeps it fun and challenging. They even have 5am classes that help me get my workout in despite my crazy schedule. I always leave pumped for my day. I've definitely gained strength and flexibility over the last 4 weeks, and I've shed about 8 lbs! Give it a try, the only thing youve got to lose is some extra weight/inches! read more

I took a free introductory class a few hours ago and had a fantastic time. I took a 45 minute class that ended up being myself and one other person (unusual, but great for me!). The mixture of cardio, weight training, and stretching made the class fun, focused, and just difficult enough to where my legs were shaky at the end. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Lateef and the FIT Austin team exemplify all of the qualities one should hope for in a fitness partner. We have been clients for several years; not only does the gym continue to improve, adding state of the art equipment often (all of their equipment has always been top notch--they just keep getting better), but it is clear from the quality of instruction that the trainers are committed to their own educations. We live far, far, away from FIT Austin (in California, in fact), but we make it a point to sped as much time working out at at FIT Austin as we possibly can. We've sent friends, each of whom has been impressed and EXHAUSTED by the workout experience. If only there were a Southern CA branch! Do yourself a favor: give yourself the gift of a FIT Austin experience. read more

No matter where/what type of exercise I'm currently trying on for size, I always find myself coming back to FIT Austin. It's housed in a welcoming, clean, organized space. The workouts are fun, intelligent (every workout includes cardio, strength, flexibility and stability), effective, they challenge every fitness level without intimidation and, the classes fly by. Lateef and Jen Johnson (owners/trainers) have hired a staff who, like themselves, are educated, positive and encouraging- making you happy to give it your best for the day. It's an Austin must. read more

FIT has been a great find for me! I wanted to find a place that offered HIIT workouts but didn't have the bootcamp atmosphere of feeling like your trainer is a drill sergeant. The whole team is super friendly and is willing to jump in, correct posture, encourage you and make things fun! The small class size makes it feel more relaxed and makes sure you don't get lost in the crowd. Plus they show you a lot of alternative workouts to compensate for any injuries or your level of strength. read more

I had been looking sooo long for something like FIT Austin. I am SO glad I finally found this gym!! Their small, circuit training classes are exactly what I wanted and they can be so addicting! The space is the perfect size: not too small and not too big. ALL the trainers are awesome and really push you to work hard in the given time. Everyone there is so supportive and all in it together to get their butts kicked during the work-out. read more

LOVE this place! The 45 minute classes are awesome and efficient. Been to a lot of different studios in South Austin and this is by far my favorite. I can see my body changing for the better! read more

FIT Austin is one of my favorite studios. The workouts are always different and challenging in a good way!

I honestly really hate gyms. Oh, who am I kidding? I just hate exercising, but I came to one class here and got hooked. And now I'm here three-four days a week. I'm sweating, dying, but also loving it somehow. The classes fly by, the people are fun and so friendly and D & Lateef push you in ways you didn't think you could be pushed. It's not the same boring routines; it's quick circuits that aren't mind-numbing. You can do anything for 45 seconds to a minute. Even me, who is constantly hungry and rather be on the couch. read more

FIT's TRX programming is great. It is scalable, which you may need starting out new because the workouts are awesome. They offer a range of class types so if you want to focus on strength or more cardio based you can choose. Lateef is a great coach and pretty good jams during class. read more

Love the workouts and the staff at FIT! I highly recommend. Check them out if you haven't already!

Took a free introductory class - TRX Strong, and boy am I sore. It was such a fun class, the instructor gave modifications for those with little to no core strength (me), and always clearly explained the moves. 3 days after the class and laughing still hurt. I definitely will be buying a pack of classes here in the future. read more

I was looking for an alternative to my workout routine and stumbled upon FIT Austin. I had heard of trx training before and thought it was something worth looking into. I am so glad that I did! TRX is a great way to achieve total body strength. The facility is immaculate, great location, tons of parking! Lateef is motivating, encouraging, and always positive. He demonstrates multiple ways of strengthening muscle groups from beginner to advanced, so everyone can take these classes, and honestly it's fun! Best of all the first class is free, so there's no reason not to try it! I have been going for about 4 months now and it is worth every penny! I feel stronger than ever. read more

I was looking for an approachable gym that wouldn't feel intimidating - somewhere where the trainers truly cared about your progress and form. FIT Austin is that gym. The owners are engaged, create new programs regularly and know each member by name. It is a supportive environment for all levels of fitness and I'm so glad I stumbled upon them! read more

FIT Austin keep me coming back for more! The trainers are great about pushing us to do our personal best in each session. I always glad when it is over - knowing that I got a great workout in just 50 minutes. read more
