As an enthusiastic client of Sondra Lieder for the past 25+ years, and now a woman in my 70's, I…read morecan wholeheartedly recommend Sondra as your fitness trainer for any stage of your life. Healthy aging requires a consistent, balanced approach - one you can enjoy and stick to over time. Endurance, strength, balance and flexibility - Sondra focuses on these foundations and will guide you through a program that is tailor made for your needs. I highly recommend Sondra for personal training - you'll be amazed at the change in your energy and mental outlook!

Sondra was at a big box gym when we met. She has always customized my workouts. I followed her to…read moreanother gym because I liked her training methods and her encouragement kept me motivated. I quit for several years because our schedules weren't compatible. COVID changed everything in 2020. I was sitting at home and getting out of shape. Sondra was offering virtual workouts on FaceTime. With a couple of weights and bands Sondra proved you don't need fancy machines to regain fitness and stay fit. We moved to the Pacific coast in 2023 and I'm still doing virtual workouts with Sondra! I have great core strength! My balance is much better and I'm maintaining good upper body strength. Strength and conditioning are important because of my osteoporosis as is flexibility because of my arthritis. I look forward to my workouts and am grateful to Sondra for keeping me motivated, moving, fit and flexible!

FeV is a solid gym. After Ignite Fitnez closed, I was looking for a local gym south of the river. I…read morewanted a gym where I could continue to grow stronger, grow better. What I like about FeV is it's (to me) an old-school style barbell gym. There's a dozen racks. There's specialty bars like an EliteFTS SS Yoke, a Swiss/Football bar, Buffalo bar, trap bar; and things like chains and bands. There's platforms for deadlifting (including bumper plates). I even appreciate touches like how the DB's go up in 2.5 lb increments at the lower weights; the providing of liquid chalk; and ample cleaning supplies to help you do your part in keeping your gym clean and sanitary (the staff does a great job of keep things clean, but good gym patrons do their part too). Oh yeah, 24/7 access is a big plus too. For sure, it's not suitable for all needs - different gyms for different goals. For example, there's not much strongman equipment here. But for general lifting, powerlifting, strength building, bodybuilding, general "lifting weights" based fitness... it's good gym that should suit folks well.

I absolutely love this gym!

You have to check them out very amazing gym!! (:

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.

How do you have a "dog policy" but no kid policy? My daughter is way less of a legal liability than a Pit bull walking around the gym.

So you will always hone an area or machine freed up for you. My only complaints is that they blast booty rap really loud through the speakers. Like the loudest gym ever where you can barely hear the people at the front desk when speaking to them. Other times they will play butt rock which is just a tad more tolerable. Some may not survive without head phones. The men's bathroom is not the cleanest. Always smells. If you are a sauna user. It is also just mid. My other bigger complaint is that the heavy bags upstairs are unusable. They hung em on chains so high that they are pretty much unusable and they run into the ceiling frame. Kind of a safety issue on that part..... Other than that, better than most other gyms in this area of the price point

If you're not one to read lengthy reviews I'll cut right to the chase- train with Katie! She is a…read morephenomenal trainer and human being and you will be so happy that you made the choice to improve your health with her. My journey with Katie started right after a really difficult time in my life. I was heavier than I had ever been (by a lot!), was stressed out and anxious, and definitely was not putting my health first. When we started working together the workouts were awesome but I wasn't seeing the results I wanted because my diet and lifestyle was not changing. It wasn't until Katie and I had a heart to heart that I started examining the root causes of my unhealthy lifestyle and made the commitment to change. So many other trainers would have just taken my money but Katie really cares about changing peoples' lives. Having her in my life has been a huge blessing. As for the numbers- I'm down around 30 lbs since I started seeing Katie and have lost 26 inches. More importantly I'm happier and healthier than ever before! If you're looking for a trainer who will give you personalized attention and great results at a very fair price call Katie!

Aside from the amazing location and beautiful space, the coaches and the workouts are top notch. The coaches actually care about the members, they take the time to work on form, Coach Megan was able to help me get rid of my back pain while deadlifting.

What a great experience so far. Requested information via the Yelp projects and John from Austin…read moreSimply Fit reached out promptly. Scheduled a call to review my needs and was able to get into Eric's schedule for a Friday assessment. The gym is quaint and quiet, I've driven by a million times. The parking is a bit odd, a few spots up front where you have to reverse onto S Lamar when exiting...sooo that can be a challenge. They have parking in the rear of the building which is great however there is a single entry way and well, not sure how multiple cars could park and get out. Just know your reverse skills need to be on point. The gym inside has everything you'd need and since it's not open to the public it's just the clients and trainers. That means no waiting for machines and no one looking at you while you're there. Eric is great, he's very easy to talk to and made the whole experience easy. Upon arrival we walked through the questionnaire filled out online to find out the why behind the personal training inquiry. He then did a body scan for weight and fat %, took blood pressure three times as well. Gave a quick tour of the gym and how things work then it was onto the physical movement assessment. Nothing too crazy, range of motion and flexibility tasks. Took an hour for the initial visit and came back the next day to finish a few small exercises then learn the warm up needed prior to sessions. No membership needed as you buy the session in backs, 5, 10, 20 and can be used how you want. Like that there's no long term contract to sign. Session will start in the next week or so with focus on building/repairing the base/functional imbalances before getting into the fun part. Time will tell how this goes, wish me luck!

In the past year…read moreworking out with him as my trainer 3x a week (from February 25-February 26) I lost 15 pounds... now it's May I've lost 20, but honestly, that is only a surface component of the impact I've felt. More importantly, I drink so much less without really noticing, I eat better and I've built muscle and carved out a lean version of me that's much stronger and less achy than the me I've known for so long. I feel stronger and more stable in my body than I have in my adulthood, and it really does make me feel like I have more energy. I think because I do. Nick's approach goes far beyond just "working out." He has helped me improve my stability, mobility, posture, and overall strength in a way that feels sustainable and deeply functional. It's also just so pleasant to work out with him, I never dread the gym because we go hard, but not so hard that you just want to get out of there, and yet the results are still great!One of the biggest changes I've noticed is in my shoulders and neck. I've had long-time sloped shoulders and neck tension that used to bother me by the end of every workday, and now I'm moving through my days essentially pain-free. Nick is thoughtful, knowledgeable, humble, encouraging, and incredibly good at building a program around your actual body, your goals, and your life. I feel stronger, healthier, more confident, and more connected to my body because of his training. I cannot recommend Nick enough!! See my before and after - not that the outside is really what matters most, but how you feel inside.

I was a little apprehensive about boot camp workouts before coming here but I can see how effective they are as you keep moving during these workouts and get some cardio conditioning too.

Plus you get a killer playlist to listen to and people of all fitness levels to workout with. Looking forward to incorporate Heat into my exercise routine.

Lateef and his team are the best! I've been coming here for just over a year and I'm not only…read morenotably stronger I look so much better naked ! The workouts are tough but the best thing is that they are ALWAYS different. It's never the same boring old routine. They recently got an infrared sauna too! Their class times align to people who work long hours in addition to people who don't work as you can attend the 6am or 7am classes ( that's where I'm at ) or the 12pm or 5:30pm classes. I enjoy this class so much more then I ever enjoyed Barre, Yoga or CrossFit. It's just a true combination of everything and that makes it so much more doable as it never gets boring. Random body parts are always sore. They also always provide alternatives if you have an injury. The class is super diverse. People of ALL ages and ALL weights. It's refreshing. You're not intimated but you're also motivated. Personal tip: If Lateef doesn't immediately respond to your email just email again. He's an actual owner hustler as he teaches so many of his classes and does a lot of personal training and he doesn't have an assistant so he juggles it all on his own. Fit Austin is totally worth it so don't get upset just send a follow up and he will respond. It's worth it!!!!

Fit Austin is amazing! I have been attending their daily classes for years now and I can't say…read moreenough good things about it. I have an unlimited membership for $150 a month where I can go every day to the gym. They have different packages and price points though. Some people have told me my package is expensive and if you are one of those people, rearrange your budget so that you can come to Fit Austin. Seriously, I love this place and you get your money's worth! The classes are 45 minutes with a warm up and cool down and they are intense (in a good way). They are small and the trainers are great! The classes are always different and work different parts of your body. You will never get bored with the classes here! It really is almost like personal training without the high budget. Although from the reviews here and what I have heard, Lateef and the rest of the trainers are amazing at personal training. I have to give a shout out to Lane LeBlanc who is currently a trainer there. She is super great, friendly, very encouraging and knowledgeable. I always look forward to any class with her! You have many time options every day for the classes and everyone there is friendly. They have bathrooms, a water bottle fill up station and showers if needed and a new sauna! If you are looking for a gym, don't look any further. Whether you need personal training or want to go to classes, this is the place for you!
