I've worked with trainers Mason and Colton here and both were exceptional. Professional, upbeat,…read moreencouraging, friendly, and respectful can describe these trainers. Most of all I was impressed by their professionalism and skill with guiding their clients through the weight training circuit. There is a very precise methodology and protocol that they are following. I liked it and found benefit to each of the components of it. It's clear that the program was very carefully and painstakingly thought out. Training for this job must be intense. The workout was extremely strenuous, especially when you have been there a while and built up some strength. Having sessions a half hour long is totally appropriate when you are working as hard as you do there and making your way thought the machines at a very efficient pace. Another thing I really appreciated about the trainers here is that they both clearly seemed to have a degree in exercise physiology. I have worked with several trainers before and the ones that actually studied this in college are far more effective. Being so attuned to athletic performance the trainers can tell when you are getting to your limit and can help to push you on. They're great at motivating so you can squeeze every last drop of strength out of your muscles. That said, they also are totally respectful if you need to take a breather, get water and let your heat rate come down a bit. As an out of shape person looking to build muscle for the sake of my health- I felt comfortable here and did not feel judged or that the trainers had any opinion of me being unfit. They were only kind, accepting and motivating. This has not been the case with other trainers I've worked with before and it is noteworthy. They get a gold star for professionalism. I would have liked to continue on but my financial situation changed and I needed to focus resources elsewhere. The cost for sessions is high but it is also worth it for the the amount of focus the trainers put into your work and the fact that it is 100% private.

I have been training with Practical Fitness for over 7 years. I really dislike exercising, but…read morethey make it so easy -- only 30 minutes. Who can't do that? Once or twice a week is all I need to stay in shape and I am so thankful it works for me. The trainers are fabulous and very knowledgeable. I am amazed and extremely grateful for the quality of the trainers. Last, but not least, a BIG thank you to them for working with me and all my old age creaks and cracking!

Phil is above and beyond anything I could have ever asked for in a personal trainer. The depth of…read morehis anatomical, physiological, and neurological knowledge allows him to pinpoint certain issues and imbalances with extreme accuracy and offer a wide array of practical solutions. He helped me with an imbalance in my shoulder, some immobility in my ankles, and even some issues I was having with my inner ear/eye gaze. My body has never been happier or felt more capable. The man is a genius and a genuine person. I really look forward to each session with him and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone searching for a trainer.

If you want to learn to train properly, then you want to work out with Phil. I've been training…read morewith him for the past 6 or so months, and he's completely changed how I approach my workouts and think about fitness. His ability to translate his knowledge of how the human body and brain interact into tangible results regularly blows me away. It's hard to overstate how effective a trainer Phil is. I came to him after a lot of years of trying (and failing) to find ways to leverage my time in the gym to endurance activities like running and cycling. I learned to hate strength workouts because they didn't do anything for me. Phil's expertise and commitment to helping his clients has completely changed that. He brought me back to the fundamentals, and introduced concepts and techniques that were brand new to me. As a result, I've seen more improvement in the past 6 months in the things I care about than in the past several years combined. I couldn't recommend Phil more highly. Far and away the best trainer I've come across.

Adrien is awesome and everyone else there is just very chill and friendly (even if they take their fitness very seriously!).

I am prone to injury so Dana is mindful of what exercises to do and what to focus on to strength the muscle and reduce injury. The gym is small but surprisingly has enough to provide a good variety of exercises. I am not one to enjoy redundancy but Dana worked in enough variety for me to keep me engaged and for me to enjoy new challenges. I haven't utilized the nutrition program much but it's also an option for anyone interested!

He was a nationally ranked collegiate track and field athlete at UT and has a degree in exercise physiology and nutrition. He's also an experienced Cross Fit coach and he really pays attention to a client's fitness level so he can scale the workout to meet your needs and abilities. He's flexible and works hard to accommodate his clients' schedules. Plus, he offers boot camps and he'll come to you to train if you want. This really is a great choice if you're looking for a good personal trainer in Austin.

Joel has been an amazing addition to my weekly exercise routine. I am an active person and have…read morealways enjoyed exercising and have depended on it for stress relief. I am also a small business owner with a fairly stressful & physically demanding job- and that has taken a toll on the consistency and depth of my workouts over the last few years. While I have continued to "workout" 4-5x per week-- it was often for shorter periods of time and not focusing on the areas I really needed to; so I managed to get very out of shape. Working out with Joel has increased my strength, muscle tone, and overall fitness. I have a lot of limitations in terms of flexibility and coordination, which I tend to ignore - but Joel works with me each week to challenge those limitations and build my coordination and flexibility- along with my overall strength & endurance. He pushes me with each workout- even when I'm exhausted from work &/or the hot weather- And I always come away with more energy and feeling better than I did when I walked in the door. Joel's positive attitude and extensive knowledge concerning both fitness and nutrition make him the perfect trainer/coach for anyone looking to become more fit and improve their life!

I decided to talk to a trainer with my sister, as we were interested in partner training together, and HOW LUCKY we were to randomly match up with Jalil! We work hard, but laugh and always have a great time! He listens, creates amazing plans (and fine tunes those plans to his client's goals/hopes), and makes you smile every time you are in a session! He has an uncanny way of being able to provide technique criticism in a truly building way - which as a person whose body has changed immensely these last 6ish years, I'm so grateful! I feel stronger than I have in a long time. My sister and I look forward to our sessions each week, and find it very doable to complete our weekly plans! Thanks for everything, Jalil!!

When I began working with Mike at Kineticore Fitness, I was afraid to run outside. I also had…read morereally shoddy form with regards to weight lifting, and zero knowledge on how best to get my body to a healthy state. Three years later, I'm the healthiest I've ever been. I'm working out at a healthy, sustainable rate. I know how to listen to my body. I run outside -- actually, as a three-time Olympic-distance triathlete, I do a lot more than just run. And I enjoy it! Kineticore is to blame. Mike is a smart, compassionate, friendly trainer who guides his clients based on their needs and is very good about helping us maximize our time and efforts. His approach is holistic and realistic, one step at a time to conquer the big goals. If my 2010 self met my 2013 self, he'd be like, what? A miracle! And I'd say: No, just a lot of hard work and great leadership from Kineticore. (Now go grab a TRX.) I've now left Austin (so my weekly slots are open -- somebody grab 'em!) but I'm still in touch with Mike all the time about moving my healthy lifestyle forward. He's a great resource on healthy eating, healthy living, and of course, workouts. I think the best compliment I can pay Mike and Kineticore Fitness is that this whole amazing transformation has felt totally natural, like this active physical self has been a part of me this whole time, and Mike helped me tap into it. That's what makes him special -- not just personalized, but PERSONAL. With Kineticore, I found out what I wanted from myself and, with Mike's help, learned how to get it.

When I leave David's place, I am on a high for the rest of the day…read more.. I have been trying to get back in shape for quite a while. A year or so ago, I hit 199lbs on the scale, which is heavy for a 50yo, 5'9" tall guy. I was actually tempted to cross the 200lbs at that point, just so I could claim it. It did not happen. Still I stayed in the upper 190, I was not feeling good, and I could barely fit in my working pants...contemplating moving up one size. I have always been active, but at 50yo, I could not find the motivation or discipline to really control the intake. My gutts was there to prove it. So while I was interested and excited about the idea of working out with a trainer, I was also particularly seeking help with nutrition and the mental aspect of eating. What's the point of burning calories, if I am going to kill a pint of ice cream every other night? I think this is where David made a difference for me. In our first call, the conversation was about the food, not the workout. In our early sessions, we talked a lot about nutrition... a lot: What to eat, portion control, anticipating traps of social gathering, tracking calories, etc...And it wasn't all about restriction, it was about finding something that would work for me, and more importanly, something that would be sustainable. His "knive and tequila" give me and my wife some inspiration, and kept the process fun. So for a personal trainer, I thought David was super knowledgable about The nutrition and awareness aspect of food intake. Checkmark. Workout wise, this is fun, and again, I think David is great at finding what I needed to do, where to adjust ( I came with my bag of injuries to work around), and how to get me in a groove. We have adjusted many workout to prevent strain on my lower back. David knows his stuff. For instance, I wanted to do pull ups. In 1 year of crossfit classes, I was still using elastic bands to assist me and was not able to pull myself up on my own. We agree to add pull ups as a goal for our training. In 3 weeks, David got me to do my first unassisted pull up. So workout wise...Checkmark too. David is also a fun guy. Again, his videos are a good examples of his sense of humor. He always greet me with a smile. He can look intimidating behind his beard, but he is a very personable guys and makes me feel welcome in his gym. That was the 3rd checkmark for me. If I want to sustain spending time, money and energy in such an endeavor, it has to be fun, and I have to enjoy whom I am doing this with. Every week, I am looking forward to do our 2 sessions. As I wrote at the beginning of this review, when I leave his place, I am on a high. The other day, I even followed the session with a 1 mile jog. 175lbs today. Not starving. Not miserable. Feeling much better in my pants, and in my head. Now is going to be the hard part: how to stay there and not get the weight back? How to keep it fun? This is where I hope that having David by my side will make a difference.

Please take my word, we feel Better, we look healthier, we are stronger and we are conditioned. Sure, I thought the first few sessions were rough, but he helped us push through and not give up. We are in our late 50's and both had prior orthopedic injuries. But David was mindful of our aches and adjusted the workouts accordingly. The next thing you knew, we looked forward to our workouts and hate ever missing one. We always receive compliments about our fitness and we know David is a huge part of the reason behind that. We started with him in the summer of 2020 to get in shape for our Daughter's wedding that November, but we stayed on because we just feel good about how strong and conditioned we are. I feel like I could hike Machu Picchu or walk El Camino at this age more successfully than my 30's or 40's! Customers for life! Rebec
