I took a short (7 yr!) break from working out, and decided in June I needed to get back at it or…read moreelse. I went full-force with a great gym --just not great for me given my seven-year break and back issues, and managed to injure myself to the point where it hurt to walk. I came to my senses, did what I should have years ago, and started working out at Train for the Game. I've been seeing Kyler Brown and Jordan Pellien and the other awesome doctors at Austin Sports Therapy for about 3 years for my back injury, but never considered working out at the gym RIGHT THERE. The coaches push me but also have insight into my back issues bc they've talked to the doctors and know what modifications to give me. They pay attention and guide me through the group workouts. The only negatives are that the gym is full of HS football players at 5 pm, and there are no classes on Sundays.

Facility: awesome amount of open space featuring a narrow, yet long patch of turf for running and…read moreworkouts, lots of dumbbells, vipr's, ropes, dynamax balls, and keiser cable machines. This is not a typical membership gym setup, it's setup for classes. Classes: this was not a positive experience. I came in for a trial class and was given a great workout by Dan. The next time I came in I had a different trainer and she was negative and unfriendly. Then, my next 3 workouts at this facility were ALL the SAME! So, within 10 days time and 4 classes later I had done pushups, sandbell slams, lunges, and squats in every single workout with a few other exercises mixed in. The same muscles were being worked and getting quite fatigued. The workouts lacked variety and it seemed the trainers were just facilitators and not designing the workouts. They explained to me that their workouts stay the same for an entire month, which is not conducive to developing all ten fitness components nor injury prevention. I was never asked about injuries or if I needed to modify by any of the trainers. I will say, while there was hardly ever anyone at the front desk, a couple of trainers remembered my name (except for the one unfriendly trainer) and engaged me in conversation while I was walking around during my visits. The general manager was great about listening to my concerns and admitted that they're a new business in every sense. For the money, you can get much better service and customized workouts at other places. I ended up getting my money back for my month trial after trying 5-6 classes. I've had several trainers and coaches in my fitness career, so I have high standards. Beginners may find these classes to be challenging and correct, but I think those that are experienced will find the holes in their programming. Luckily, I've found the workout spot I was looking for, it's just not at Train for the Game.

I did the 6 week challenge with Chalk. Below is my review for the challenge and the facility. Recommend doing the 6 week challenge? No. Why?: Their In Body Scan. (what they use to measure your body weight) Recommend their facility? Depends. Please read entire review. I did the lose 5% body fat in 6 week challenge. My first weigh in, I weighed 173lbs. Body fat % was 28.5% and muscle mass was 70lbs. Throughout the 6 weeks I definitely got stronger. I was able to do 3 pull ups (woo!) , when I wasn't able to do any prior to the challenge. My endurance and strength had definitely increased. I was very diligent with the diet and didn't miss a workout. The day of my final weigh in, I weighed myself at my gyms In-body scan (the same scan Chalk uses). My results were 163lbs, 21.1% body fat, and 74lbs of muscle mass. I drove straight from the gym to my final weigh in and the Chalk scan measured me as 163lbs (same) but 25.5% body fat and 69lbs of muscle mass. Somehow I had GAINED 4% body fat in 30 minutes and lost muscle mass. What baffles me the most is that it measured that I LOST muscle mass throughout the 6 weeks which even the trainers agreed was untrue. For more clarification, if you lost 5% body fat throughout these 6 weeks, you get your money ($600) back that you put in to the challenge. I feel as if I was straight up gypped. There is no way I lost muscle mass throughout that time. The numbers don't add up and it makes me lose all trust with their facility. The trainers made excuses on the machine on how it depends on how much water you drank and other variables. However, they were not interested in having another weigh in to where the numbers made sense. I am happy with my results and Chalk helped a lot, but I DO NOT TRUST THEM due to their final weigh in and how they handled it. I will not return. If you demand a more competitive workout environment while having a trainer, I recommend Orange Theory Fitness more. In conclusion: Pros: small classes, more attention (depends on what time of the day you go) Pros: easy to follow meal plan if you do the challenge Cons: in body machine Cons: no shower

They more focus on weights training, not cardio, good for people who wants build their muscles. If you like cardio more, then maybe this is not matching. Cons : those issues I list only for me. This is a small local company, only has one location, so if you don't work near or live close, it's hard to catch up the schedule. The reason I joined the program cuz I got a summer job on the bee cave area, but after summer. It's gonna be very hard to keep going there. I personally don't want to spend too much time on driving. Because the owner idea is doing a small group to help people who want to change their lifestyle, so the price is little bit higher than regular group training. But Definitely cheaper than private training lesson. Overall I liked very much so far. Hope they can have more locations in the future.

Over the past few months, Carmen's work with me has significantly improved how I feel throughout the day. With her training, I've discovered entire groups of muscles I never even knew I had.

I hold myself differently and feel more comfortable, especially at my shoulders and lower back. My lower back pain is gone. I sleep better and feel more confident walking around. Carmen has a real intuition for the body's movement, reminding me of my ballerina sister. Carmen can tell just by watching when something is off.

Energy because...ok, keeping me motivated is difficult. Experience because a trainer must understand the body to get the most from a workout & compatibility because when I don't want to move, my trainer knows how to encourage and when I can't move, my trainer knows the difference- that is crucial. Little did I know at the outset Leila would bring it all around. Even better than I imagined. Embracing my flaws and focusing me on my goals. She exudes calm while guiding toward real progress. As I worked with Leila, I quickly realized she was multi-faceted. She could be a drill Sargent when my body called for it, an Empowering voice when my body needed more grace, and a freaking Therapist when I had to vent during a workout. The end result for me, working with Leila, is a spirit raised in energy and a body toned over 50! Leila you are a workout guru and I recommend everyone I know, looking for a real trainer, to you.

I went 21 days totally sugar-free and now have a much better relationship with the monster known as sugar. He is very organized in showing people how to implement a plan. He's very focused on the diet side and has come up with regimented guidelines on how to follow a diet plan. My only caveat is that while almost all of the foods he recommends were good suggestions, there was a questionable food choice on his list. He instructs clients with simple workout plans, as well...short bursts of intensity that don't take a lot of time and produce a lot of result. I recommend his work to others that need a lil rehab in their life. : )
