I've been training w @stronglikeher for the last three months in prep for my Costa Rica trip. And…read morewhile I feel SO good in my teeny tiny swim suit MORE IMPORTANTLY I feel strong AF and am definitely in the best shape of my life (measured by increased strength/# of pull ups etc). Gina knows her stuff and is so helpful and approachable. If you're in the Austin area reach out! OR if you're not (like me) I highly recommend her online training program. She and I did everything via facetimes, videos, and (sometimes awkward on my end ) pictures. #strongrrryou #stronglikeher #girlswholift

Before finding Gina, my biggest struggle was consistency. I have gone through different phases in…read moremy life where I try to commit to a regimen but it never "stuck". I would yoyo between all or nothing and never quite found something that I could integrate into my lifestyle. It was not only demoralizing, but every time I fell off the wagon I felt like an additional hurdle was being added to getting the lifestyle that I really aspired to. I felt like it was a constant battle with little to no results. I love training with Gina. She is like a trainer, therapist and friend all rolled into one amazing person. She's always pushing me harder and she has honestly changed my life. I love feeling strong and it makes me sad that I went through so much of my life without knowing what that felt like - my one regret is not finding her sooner! She is very thorough and really explains the reasons behind certain movements, or why the grip is a certain way, or how I should be breathing - as someone who asks a LOT of questions and likes to know the nitty gritty, I really appreciate that. She's always asking me what I like and don't like and switching things up so nothing feels stale. She's tough and supportive at the same time, and magically seems to knows what I'm capable of. She's changed working out from something that I would dread, to something that I really look forward to. She's always going above and beyond what she needs to do. She's built such an amazing network of women, who are all supportive and encourage each other. She's constantly sharing tips on anything and everything - from nutrition, to dance moves, to just lifestyle. She's always there for me, even if it's a random text when I feel "off", or tagging me in things she thinks I would like, I can honestly say that she's one of the most thoughtful people I've met. So glad I know her now and happy to call her my trainer-friend-superhero. P.S. She has the cutest pups who are just amazing bonuses.

I…read morehad a baby 11 months before and was finally feeling like I wanted to get back into fitness, but didn't know where to start that was safe and effective. Erica gives great direction on form and has helped me feel confident lifting heavier than I thought I could. She does this by balancing motivating me to do more, while checking in on how I feel with each exercise so I always feel like I'm getting stronger safely. I can really feel the positive effects of our training day to day by being able to lift my toddler up over my head with ease. I would highly recommend working with Erica at Embody!

She always pushes me to go a bit harder, lift a bit more and give it another 20 seconds...knowing what I am really capable of doing.

Intimate gym with an amazing team!

I'm only what, 2 months in with this new little gym. It is a far cry from the massive, corporate…read moreLifeTime Fitness South that I had spent the last 18 month at. I was really looking for more personal, nutrition and data driven results. It's great that your trainer is telling you that you look great and strong, but what do the numbers say? The InBody machine they had there, is here as well. Curious why my trainer at LT never regularly used it in my regime. We met with the owner Chris and he offered us a complimentary workout with one of the trainers to get a feel for the place. That wasn't necessary really. We somewhat knew what we looking for and Evolve seem to have all the stuff we really needed, without the pretentiousness. My treadmill was there, they have heavy stuff to pick up and throw around. Machines for all kinds of stuff. A massive half tire thing, that actually looks dangerous to me. :) Chris's interview with us was personal and direct. I liked that as well. He took his time, listened and asked for our availability and when to start the first complimentary session and we discussed the packages available. This was a wow moment. A 6 month commitment meant that our PT hour was $79.99, no monthly gym fee and I could come and go as I please. Jaw drop. We were paying $150 an hour, plus a monthly gym fee 3x's a week. Although to be fair, I had recently moved to a Medicare Membership at LT so no gym fee, but restricted hours. Ok, interest was peaked. I went to my first session with Celeste. We spent the entire hour working on my balance and stretching. I was like, ok no weights? I regretted that thought when I got home a few hours later when my muscles had some aching, a signal that something good was happening that worked. Her style was to get me in touch with my core and she was surprised, as was I, why my past trainer experience didn't touch on that. Using my own stomach kettle bell or medicine ball as "The Weight" makes sense. I have used very little physical weight these past two months. I am doing a lot of Yoga it seems when I train with her. Mandatory stretching before working out, in addition to me getting on the treadmill before we start. The Yoga is teaching me to be in touch with my body and muscles, I like that as well. Celeste may be younger, but she has knowledge and experience which is what matters to me. She is now taking a keen interest in our diet. We are looking at recipes and dietary concerns. She cautioned me on my style, which was 1670 cals a day and reminded me that slow and easy wins this race. Again, good logic. Most important she has a laugh with me while I clumsy work my way through the gym like a drunken Shrek at a rave. Nice reassuring smile and very quiet speaking so I have to pay attention more. Communication. The owner is there often and when he sees me, he always checks in with me and asks how I am doing. I get reminders on the gyms personal app and text's from Celeste checking in on me. A very important app is the InBody app. I can already see the improvement in my body, which is a total motivator. Such a simple thing and a great, honest feedback tool. It feels good to support a local business and not a corporate conglomerate as well. Let's keep on keeping on!

Best group of trainers I've ever come across. The owner -Chris Protein, (yes, that's his real…read morename!) is very good at what he does! The massage therapist is also a trainer and this means you can go and sweat for two hours and then get a sports massage afterwards. There's a boxing bag down there that you can't help from not hitting it, just don't stand too close or the bag will snap you pretty good on the nose. They also have an onsite sports PT as well. Great equipment, professional, and you'll WANT to work out there!

I've spent many years trying different gyms, trainers, and routines, but nothing ever really stuck long-term. Working with Lane one-on-one was the first time I truly felt consistent, motivated, and supported in a sustainable way. Lane has such a warm and welcoming personality that makes every session something to look forward to. She keeps things balanced; she's easy to talk to and genuinely fun to train with, but she also keeps you focused and gives great feedback on form and progress. I always left our sessions feeling stronger, more confident, and more in tune with my body. Beyond fitness, Lane really cares about her clients as whole people. She takes a holistic approach to health and wellness that goes far beyond workouts or weight loss. She's so knowledgeable about movement, nutrition, and the body overall, and she's constantly learning and sharing that knowledge. It didn't surprise me when she left for medical school because she's exactly the kind of person you'd want as a doctor. Even though she's moved on to this next chapter, I'm incredibly grateful for the impact she made on my health, fitness, and mindset. I was lucky to work with her while I did, and I'd recommend Lane to anyone who wants to make real, lasting changes in how they feel and move.

Despite having already paid for a class, I was abruptly asked to leave. I was told I should seek a "Hispanic Pilates class" instead, implying I didn't belong there due to perceived race or ethnicity. This comment was not only unprofessional, but also deeply troubling. Regardless of anyone's cultural background, fitness spaces should be inclusive, welcoming, and respectful. It's especially disheartening that such outdated, discriminatory attitudes are still present today. What should have been a positive, health-centered experience quickly turned into one that left me questioning the values upheld by this establishment. I believe in treating others with dignity and fairness, and I hope this review encourages B Pilates to reflect on how they engage with and treat all clients--especially when it comes to cultural sensitivity and inclusivity.

I did manage to injure the muscles around my hip while on the reformer which lasted a few weeks. I didn't seek medical consult but imagine it was hyperextended. One observation is that there is frequent communication when this business is trying to sell classes via phone, email, text etc. However, there is zero communication when it comes to reminding customers of upcoming booked classes. I missed two 1:1 sessions (~$200). I wish there was a reminder system like ClassPass has, a less rigid cancelation policy, or at least a courtesy text with the same effort they make as when they're texting to sell.

Additionally - he is a total geek when it comes to learning and finding new things and imparting that knowledge and wisdom through our sessions.

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. Mainly in my back. Building them up has made keeping decent posture easier throughout the day. That's my primary goal and it's clearly happening. 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. She's also great to be around; whether it's the exercise, the company, or both, I'm always more cheerful leaving a workout. The app plus video also enables me to continue sessions while traveling. Anyone who can have her guidance is very fortunate.
