this company doesn't follow up with trainers interested in working with them. It appears they are incapable of holding a phone interview and keeping their word on scheduled times. Not exactly a good marker for the fitness business and speaks to their timeliness and just how much they care about their trainers. read more

I started working out with Shawn in November of 2013. I was at a point of starting to develop significant health problems, and I knew I HAD to workout. It wasn't just a matter of the weight I had packed on in the past few years. I also knew I was terrible at holding myself accountable to actually go and DO the workout. I'd make every excuse possible; work is too busy, it's too far, it's too expensive, I can do it on my own.... (fill in the blank). After talking to a few trainers (at other companies), I settled on Shawn who had been introduced to me several months prior in relation to Real Estate (I'm a Realtor). I reached out, and found his approach to be thoughtful, well prescribed and he actually LISTENED! I explained the health challenges I had, what my expectations were, and what experiences I had with working out. I simply cannot work out at super intense levels with my health concerns. I wanted a trainer who would be willing to understand this and not just throw me a generic workout plan because that's all they know. In terms of Shawn himself and everyone at FxFit... awesome! Shawn is very accommodating with my ever changing schedule, when he was travelling for the holidays, he lined up a trainer to work with me. He sends workouts during the week to keep reminding me of what I could be doing this week in between workouts. He recently got Crossfit trained, and is always looking to improve his skill set as well. He know's his stuff, hires great trainers, is humble, thoughtful and actually listens. If you're still reading this, why? STOP. Go sign up already! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about FXfit and my experience with them thus far. My friend introduce me to their classes initially and I was met with warmth and encouragement by Claire who even helped modify the exercises for me during the class because I was not yet at that level. I have not worked out in a long time and I wanted to start but always felt intimidated due to a general lack of understanding on what to do and where to start. I began taking more classes at FXfit with Shawn, Kelly, Katie, Jonathan, and Kimberley. I am here to tell you that EVERY single one of these instructors are kind, encouraging and positive. They exemplify a model of how every fitness instructor should treat their clients and how to run a business in general. I began personal training with Claire two months ago and it has been an wonderful experience. I committed to the workouts and to changing my diet to healthy whole foods and I have definitely reaped the benefits. In two months alone I have already lost an astonishing 9+ inches off of my waist and built both muscle and stamina. We were in shock. It has taken a lot of work, but it has been completely worth it and I feel great. My "diet" doesn't even feel like a diet any longer instead it has been incorporated into my daily life as a norm. I love it and I don't miss my old ways. Both the classes and training sessions are fun and challenging and they have all been different! Claire and all of the other trainers have helped me to regain confidence in myself and that is honestly priceless. Thank you FXfit. read more

Claire has been training me now for about 2 years. There are never 2 workouts that are the same and she always pushes me further than I thought i could go. Of course, I moan and groan when its all happening and sweat like a ..... well, lets just say I sweat! I've definitely gotten stronger and my endurance has improved significantly. I can even work out with her and some of the other trainers during their workouts. I'm not saying they are easy but I can and have done it. The peeps at FXFit know their stuff and will coach you not only on workout but on nutrition as well. Not a diet, but clean, good eating. I love them and am not ever stopping my training. read more

I wanted to express how wonderful the fitness classes are here at the Domain Parkside. One of the main reasons i live here is because of the fitness classes offered. Now a year later, I have renewed my lease due to the classes being so awesome! I have lost weight and gotten into great shape or at least in better shape. LOL And my mood over all is so uplifting to my new life in fitness. Thank you FX Fit from a great fan. CPJ. (smaller waist size then last year) read more

What a great gym and awesome concept! Jessica Pierre'auguste is a remarkably talented and authentic trainer with the knowledge to work safely & smartly around injuries and still give you a kickass workout!! Plus, she's working as a volunteer and hosting fundraiser workouts for wounded veterans - woohoo!!! The FXfit mission statement speaks for itself: "Our mission is to inspire others with our passion for health and fitness. Our purpose is to create healthy relationships in reaching your fitness goals. Our hope is to serve Austin, TX where there is need, and build a healthy community with one satisfied client at a time. Our values are: Integrity, Community, Opportunity, Balance, Respect, Honesty and Trust. We find where you are BEFORE we start." read more

It's hard to find trainers that are both motivating and uplifting but FXFit are really amazing trainers that have NAILED IT! I've tried both yoga classes and boot camps with FXFit and I have to say, they are both amazing! The workouts are fun and creative, even while you're doubting that you can do it - but somehow do! The first Thursday of the month, they have free boot camp followed by happy hour (detox/retox) at the Domain, so I highly recommend giving it a try! You just might make new friends AND find a new boot camp or trainer! read more

FXfit is an amazing company with great equipment and terrific trainers. Their classes are challenging, though they accommodate with modifications if need be. All the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. Before training with FXfit (about a 15 months ago), I was overweight, sleepy, sluggish, and just not in a good place. Through personal training, attending classes, and sticking to the suggested diet plan, I have lost all that extra weight, gained muscle, and feel much healthier overall. I now have the energy to be the best I can be, both in my professional and personal life. I began personal training with Shawn (he is terrific), and I have also become obsessed with the classes offered by FXfit- classes led by Claire, Kelly, Jonathan, Katie, and Kimberley. (I have heard Myna and Jeremy teach great classes and hope to attend theirs sometime too!) Each one of them is amazing and has a unique flair to contribute to the FXfit team. I am so fortunate to have a caring group to help me along my fitness journey and share in the pride of my success. They are more than trainers; I consider them to be fitness coaches, as they provide direction and suggestions and follow up with their clients regularly. I'm so very happy to have the opportunity to train with such wonderful people read more

I trained with FXFit over a year ago and FINALLY saw results. I say finally because I'm a pretty fit and active person and I just needed someone to get me over my hump and to the results I needed and desired. I used to do boot camp with a class of less than 20 but I was not seeing the results, I was strictly maintaining. I have problems with my right knee and lower back and they weren't getting any better with bootcamps. Then I trained with both Shawn and Claire. I loved my sessions, they were fun and hard, each session different from the other. But what I really noticed after training with FXFit, when I had to take a break from training for a few months due to work travel, I realized how much of an affect FXFit training sessions mattered. Even though I run multiple times a week, I can't train the muscles and motivate myself to lift weights that I need to on my own. I'm back again training with Shawn, full force. He keeps me on my toes with challenging workouts and encourages me to tackle my eating habits head on. He listens to my body and makes sure I actually work out in proper form to correct problems I have with my knees and back. He's teaching me along the way about nutrition and how much FORM matters when working out so I don't further harm to my body. I'm proud to be a part of the FXFit family and want to continue to be one of their success stories! read more

FX Fit. Great fit family to belong to! I was looking for something close to my office to just get back into the swing of things. I found these guys and they are all wonderful! Augustine, Kate and the rest keep you motivated and ready to work hard. The classes are intimate which is nice and everyone supports one another. If you are looking for a great place to get active in the Domain, these guys are it!! read more

Not worth it. One trainer wanted me to power clean with 25s on each side even when I told him I was just starting to lift weights again. They don't care about your form or your progress...they only care about getting your money. read more

I recently moved here from out of state and my number one priority was to find a trainer/gym to pick up where I had left off in my previous world. I found Claire by happenstance and knew right away it was going to be a good fit. She has been extremely patient with me as I got back into the groove and grew accustomed to her (FX FIT'S) style of training but was never too light on me - always pushing and encouraging. She's not afraid to be straightforward, but working with a trainer, that's what we expect, right? I've been with her for approximately five months and have made huge strides and improvements in terms of getting back into shape and getting my nutrition back on track. Highly recommended! read more

I am an IMT resident and is regular at gym and taking classes with FXFit. I love all the classes offered and are very well designed. Keep it Up FXfit read more

I have been training with Katie the last 2 months and have really enjoyed it and have worked super hard! I asked Katie to create workouts only focused on my core as I was trying to recover my abs from a pregnancy. 2 months later...back where they need to be! She also gave me tools (a super cool app) to help me also adjust my diet and eat healthy. Highly recommend FX Fit and Katie! read more

Jessica Pierre'auguste is one of the best trainers out there. I have many injuries and she was willing and able to work around them. Her knowledge of her field and the dedication to her clients is simply awesome. If I had the funding I would see her everyday! read more

I have done Yoga classes with FX, as well as personal training. I would highly recommend both! The Yoga class instructor, Myna, is awesome. She's genuine, not fake or flaky, and you can't help but love her and the way she instructs. I am NOT a pro at yoga...I'm quite awkward and not flexible. If this is you, you will not feel intimidated or unwelcome in her class. And if you're an expert, you will get challenged enough as well. She welcomes all skill levels, and says that she herself was not a natural at yoga, although you'd never know that now! If you are preggo, or have an injury/limitation, she will take the time to customize the movements for you while the rest of the class does something else. She's very personable, and remembers every person (and their name) in the class! She takes a photo of the day, and e-mails that and an inspirational quote or thought to the class members the day after class. For personal training, we chose Shawn (the owner of FXfit). He worked us out 2 times a week for the final trimester of my pregnancy, after we had both not done ANYTHING physical for 6 months. Shawn is the "anti-trainer." What I mean by that is, he is nothing like the stereotype personal trainer you have surely met or trained with before. He's kind, modest, soft-spoken, a family man, and pushes healthy eating and moderation rather than powders and pills. He's passionate about his business and your satisfaction, and goes above and beyond the call of duty with WOD e-mails, meal plans, and more. I am due this week, and thanks to Shawn, my body is prepared for the natural childbirth we have planned. My strength and endurance are improved drastically from when I started with him, and yet I do not feel that he ever pushed me too far, or risked my health/my baby's health while we worked out. As for my man, he lost weight and gained muscle, and was able to be Superman for me on our recent move from one residence to another. We both said there is no way he could have done it all without Shawn getting him in shape. If you are in a community where FXfit does classes or offers personal training, go check it out. You won't regret it! read more

I have been training with FX Fit for several years, mostly with Shawn but occasionally with others. The knowledge and dedication of all of the trainers are outstanding. While I like to think of myself as fairly athletic, I am realistic enough to know I have several physical limitations. Shawn adapts workouts to be of maximum benefit to me. He does not just give everyone the same workout. The workouts are individualized and different everytime I go. No getting bored here! I particularly appreciate Shawn texting or emailing me during the week just to touch base on other aspects of my health goals. I can only be in the gym so many hours of the week and, as we all know, nutrition is key. So his follow up on my nutrition is an added benefit. Most importantly, I appreciate Shawn's integrity which is also reflected in all the trainers at FX Fit. He is a solid citizen and a good businessman. He is conscious of his role in the community. I appreciate that. This is not some fly-by-night operation looking to make a fast buck. FX Fit is here for me and for the long haul. read more

Shawn and his team are dedicated fitness trainers. They create the full wellness package for their clients - their support goes beyond your training session, and includes ideas for meal plans and exercises you can do on your own. Sessions are creative, fun and challenging. If you stick with them, you will see results read more

When I finished physical therapy in April, my therapist recommended working with a personal trainer to help me get back to rock climbing shape. Katie, one of the managers at FX Fit, helped set me up with Daniel. Daniel got me back into shape, doing pull ups, and feeling super strong and good about myself again. He was consistently positive, encouraging, and pushed me to do more than I thought I could. The entire experience was empowering. Every work out was customized for my needs and particular focus on building upper body strength. Hands down, I would recommend Daniel for anyone looking to train. On the administrative side, FX Fit handled payments promptly and emailed receipts. read more

I've been training with the trainers at FXFit for about two years. I have lost about 45 pounds and I continue to feel healthier daily. Not only are the staff results-oriented, they are extremely nice people. Some of the trainers have become good friends of ours. We believe being healthy should be fun and fulfilling, and the professionals at FXFit make working out a pleasure. I would strongly recommend this outfit to anyone in Austin wanting to get in the best shape possible. read more
