I'm a person who could do a 2mi but anything more than that would leave me sore for DAYS and ready to puke... I'm happy to say just two weeks ago with Ashley's help I ran The Cap 10K!!! Seriously! Not just jogged but I completed the whole race with 12min miles and her by my side the whole time helping with visualizations and breathing techniques. She was so wonderful during the training, but I did not expect her to coach me side by side through the whole race. It's really a testament to her beautiful spirit and commitment as a coach.

Don't judge a gym by the cover. This place is tucked away in an older business park, but once you…read moremake your way inside you'll find one of the coolest gyms in Austin. They have plenty of machines, free weights, cardio equipment, sauna, towel service, a bunch of classes (boxing, HIIT, MetCon, yoga, cycling, etc.), turf area, sleds and recovery equipment like theraguns (for the guns ). Oh, it's also 2 stories with 4 indoor batting cages upstairs.

Mod Fitness opened a gorgeous second location located just off Burnet Road. The studio is inside an…read moreadorable converted house with a similar feel of the south Lamar location but is more spacious. They also have a boutique selling nice workout clothing, grip socks and fancy water bottles. I did the hour long barre class yesterday and it was an excellent workout. Hollie instructed the fast paced class with grace and before I knew it the hour was over. They also offer other classes like Mod Burn which incorporates high intensity training and Barre 50 (shorter class). There are new client specials and I purchased an Austin Tidbits deal of 3 weeks for $49. If you like barre you will love Mod Fitness.

Want to work every part of your body in 1 hour? Want to have fun while you get your butt kicked?…read moreWant to feel so sore for days after? MOD is the place. My new favorite place for Barre classes in north-central ATX. The studio is clean, simple, small. It's a house turned fitness studio, with about 6 parking spots in back, and street parking in front. I've never had a problem finding parking, morning or evening. There is a small area for your belongings, a front desk (with a friendly face posted up), 2 clean restrooms, and the work out room. The walls are lined with mirrors and barres, of course. During the barre classes (my favorite), you will need a mat, ball, small hand weights, and a strap (all provided). You literally work every part of your body. Upper, lower, middle, front, back... you get the idea. Every time I attend, I find myself surprised at the exercises that are new to me. I'm a DVD and workout class junkie, and to learn new exercises excites me! You will work your lower half to the point of shakes and earthquakes around the barre, all by being pushed in an encouraging way. All the instructors are just awesome. I appreciate the countdown (just 8 more seconds... etc), which usually leads to an isometric hold... which leads to 8 pulses, then relax (8 more is a white lie). I leave MOD feeling like a goddess. Get your booty to the barre and get ready to work! I love MOD!

I came here yesterday. I am a old guy, broken down from a great life of being a musician,…read moremotorcycle wrecks, race car wrecks, skiing disasters, playing Army for many years and basically burned the candle at five ends. Add the tum tum, and you would think this is the last place I would end up. The different orthopedic doctors and Physical Therapists all basically said go to something like this and see what makes you hurt :-( . I called and talked to the business and it turns out that they have many different types of classes, including rehab and recovery. They would make adjustments for me if needed. The business was spotless and organized to a T. Then came the class. The instructor, Jennifer, was quite charming as was the staff. The attendees were all ages, shapes, sizes, and I was not the only man there. Jennifer said she could adjust the instruction if needed due to all my damage and I said no way, go full blast and if I had problems I would adjust myself. So, full of confidence, I started immediately with the class which was a "grace", or something like that, for newbies. Jennifer was enthusiastic, and kept the tempo going. I had some problems at first following the instructions as I was new to this, but with the mirrors and her assistants, I started getting the idea. Yeah! I heard "shake it off and rest" but I could never see where "rest" was in the picture. I realized that if I totally stopped I would never be able to start up again, so I did the best I could. Then I learned to hate the words "bar and barre". When you are told to grab or lean on the bar, you are really going to get it. All in all, it was wonderful. Jennifer or one of her assistants would come and help with advice, and there was only 2 moves I could not do. When we were finally finished, my muscles were shaking so bad from lack of use in the past few years, I asked my wife to drive home, much to her glee. Fast forward 1 day and I am worn out and sore, but in a good way. I am definitely more flexible, I don't have pain where I used to have pain, so this event probably saved me a lot of money to doctors and therapists as I know now where to target and to what extent I can handle and still live.

Really nice studio! I attended via Classpass, and it was a fun yet challenging workout. The studio…read moreis clean, bright and welcoming, and the staff was really friendly. The instructor greeted me by name and asked if I had any injuries or needed any modifications, then walked me over to the equipment and explained that I needed two sets of free weights to add to the other set up equipment (a mat, a lower back mat, ball and resistance band). It was all women in the class, and I can't be sure but i get the feeling it's like 90%+ female most of the time. There's also a spin studio in the space. For barre devotees, I think it's a solid choice and very conveniently located. Also there's ample parking out front and in the parking garage just underneath. All in all, it was a good midday workout.

Tried out the morning 6am HIT class through ClassPass. The gym is small but has plenty of parking,…read morethere is also some bathrooms with showers. There wasn't a formal check in process so I was a bit confused on what to do when I got there and ended up asking some random people. The workout itself was pretty weight intensive with lots of squats and repetitions. Most of this was strength training and not so much cardio. The instructor was very nice and helpful. You will definitely be sore after this!

I've been doing personal training with April for 4 months - she is awesome, and the gym is really…read morenice! It's small and only for clients doing personal training or group training. Staff is very professional - everyone there is all about working out and getting outta there. And April - she's super nice, so of course we come back, but she has in uncanny ability to know the weight and reps that will yield jello legs/arms. we move so quickly from one thing to the next there's not the opportunity to get bored or pause for a moment to worry about how sore you'll be the next day...but in a good /pain is weakness leaving my body kind of way... Highly recommend this cute neighborhood gym and it's staff. Hope we are lucky enough to have Mo and his crew in NW Hills for the long haul!!

Gold's Gym on Burnet Road is still as shiny and glistening as it was on day one. This Gold's Gym…read moreis always super clean and with many locations to exercise - cardio, and weight training (machines or free weights). This gym is super spacious, modern with state of the art equipment. In addition, the gym has a posing room (yep! posing room!), hydro massage and sauna services. There is something for every discerning gym member. I went for a total body workout early this morning. While the time was early morning, the gym was in high gear with a fully packed gym...not an original idea. It was not long waits for the equipment....so, the selection of equipment is good. My goal was to do 3 set of 15-20 reps. Goal accomplished...in addition, it is centrally located with easy access from Burnet Road. With standard Gold's Gym membership, you can access to this gym with no extra cost. Monthly membership is $29-$49 dependent on access level and premium amenities.

The Domain studio is a great location, beautiful studio and Katie A. (despite her adorable demeanor) was b-r-u-t-a-l! So challenging (she kept telling it WHY it was so good we were all shaking so hard!!), and fun. But Katie A. dropped serious knowledge, too. I've since learned that this Pure Pilates prides itself on super educating, training each instructor to the highest of standards and it shows!! Highly recommend. We will be back! (It's Tuesday and my booty is still talking to me about that class!!)

I'm impressed to see this place is still as beautiful as the day I stopped by when I saw I came back in 2017, and now as a mom who needs to work on her mobility, health and core strength meets posture, this place did not disappoint! I've met Zilla, who Ally, the owner teaches some sessions on Wednesdays and I can get my doggy cuddles while I am getting my Pilates workout on? Win win! Even better is they're close by my office, which makes it a quick walk over! Sold! And with utilizing ClassPass and being friendly and no pressure, this is my kind of place and one that I plan to return to for a local boutique studio for my wellness and fitness goals!
