I had a consultation with Noah a few months ago now, about my wants and needs of personal training. I already do Muay Thai and running on my own. I wanted to add some strength training in but it's been awhile and needed some direction. I filled out very thorough paperwork. I was matched with one of the trainers, Brett, and I couldn't be happier. There are different packages to accommodate all needs and budget. Overall I am happy and would recommend. They also have group classes but I haven't done so I can't comment on that.

JoJo was perfect! Great fun, great workouts, didn't let me slack, and really paid attention to technique - because she listened to me and observed my movements, I was able to do more than I thought I could (since I hadn't done anything for 2 years) and feel so much better physically and mentally! While I didn't participate in the group sessions, they were going on when I was doing my personal sessions -- looked and heard like a super group of friendly people who are all there to do the right thing, have fun as a group while getting into shape and learning to work out the right way. Noah and his team are doing fitness right! Highly recommend Lumos Fitness Collective - best gym ever!

I do HIIT classes throughout the week at my gym in Dallas, so I was familiar with most of the exercises, but Rob provided modifications for movements I was not comfortable with. Definitely give his class a shot if you're in the area! Lots of fun, and people in the class were really chill and easy to talk to!

I have deemed myself a 'casual crossfitter,' using this to shake up my normal routine, and it's worked really well. There are also some more serious athletes who work out here day in and day out, training for competitions, etc. Each class is what you make it and the staff gives you the tools and encouragement to meet goals. Drop in rates, class packages, and at one time they had a 6 wk challenge that included a nutrition plan. Its nice that the owner is here every day and if you're visiting or just want to do a ~3 or ~6 month pass, he's able to work with you. If you're looking for a new challenge, just starting out, want to make a change, or be an overachiever, I'd encourage you to check this place out.

The air feels stagnant and hot - especially by the cardio machines! 2. Extended hours or 24/ hour access for members would be amazing for those of us who work night shifts! Outside of these small suggestions this gym truly is great, no other gym in Austin can compare to the cleanliness and quality of machines this space provides.

Away from the crowds, big box gyms is a gym hidden in the landscape of Oak Hill in plain sight and…read morefrequented by a devout group of fitness folks. When I could no longer tolerate the big box gyms, the crowds that flock to them and the bad behaviors that have cropped up over time, I finally made the move to this gym. Sure it's smaller, sure it doesn't have daycare, saunas, pools, giant changing rooms but I consider all those things a plus. People who show up here show up to work out not sit at the sauna and pool all day. The price point is higher than most gyms but not unreasonable. You get what you pay for -- mostly in peace and quiet and an overall more courteous gentler crowd. There is a good mix of equipment that can handle a mix of folks who just want fitness, folks who are into bodybuilding and powerlifters. For the most part all three groups exist in peace. Perhaps the general fitness folks may at times be a little intimidated by some of the louder harder workouts of the powerlifters. But this can be mitigated by changing the time you go. I get overstimulated by such noises so I try to avoid those folks if I can. ( I can be a gentle flower lol) Gender balance. This gym has a very healthy gender balance. Luckily this crowd is not there to find suitors, they are there to work out so no fake eyelashes or clown makeup nor guys just dragging their wings along the ground like turkeys in heat. Please respect this dynamic and don't come here to hit on people. Like most gyms the peak time is 5-7 week days except it's mostly Monday to Wednesday that's somewhat busy during rush hour. But nothing like the big box gyms. It's busy but not impossible to get a workout in like other gyms. Folks are not aggressive with each other, they are kind when they approach you for working in etc. I take a long time at some machines people should be upset but there is no upset, only kindness. They are swapping out some of the equipment and its changes for the better -- mind you what's there is already plenty. This is a small gym floor compared to mix chain gyms. The gym in Lincoln village is slightly larger and the new one in round rock will be huge. The hours are great. Parking is plenty however not endless, sometimes you will have to hunt a little. The gym is clean, bathrooms is clean but could be better. I am just being honest. It's just fine. I have been spoiled by Lifetime and EOS. There is a regular crowd that's been there a long time and they sometimes do exert a little bit of ownership and territorial behavior but they are mostly harmless, they could use the challenge of new faces, and they are perfectly able to adapt and accept newcomers. So don't be intimidated. It's all teddy bears in there. The staff also is amazingly friendly and attentive and keep the place sharp and on top shape and help members. I highly recommend you get a week pass and check it out!

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.
