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!

Nick Deluz has truly changed the way I think about fitness, health, and strength. 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.

She since added at the bottom of her website the same link for payment $297 plus lab fees, however she still have the the original $297 without the lab fees. I ask for a refund, she refusing to give me a refund. DO NOT USE HER SERVICES. You can get the Test directly from a lot of websites.

I didn't enjoy it and never felt like got any benefits from it. I was a little skeptical about Starting Strength because of my previous experience gyms. That changed after working out there for a couple of months. I felt stronger, my back pain was getting better and I was having fun. The coaches are fantastic. They are watching to ensure you are lifting properly and making sure that you progress in your weight lifting. The coaches are there to make sure you are successful. Being somewhat of an introvert I was skeptical of the class atmosphere but I have found that to be a benefit. You can learn from the members who have been doing this a while and it is fun to watch the new members come in and start out and progress. Between the coaches and the other members and the success I have had with my training it encourages me to make every session even on the days when I am dog ass tired, which is one of the keys to succeeding in weight training, to be consistent. I would encourage anyone who is looking to get stronger no matter your age to check out Starting Strength. It is well worth the money. The only person who can get you stronger is you but you need help. You need a coach to help you through the process and I have found there is no better place for this than Starting Strength.

When I dropped in Mark Rippetoe was even there, told me I have scoliosis (was unaware...) and helped correct my squat form to compensate for that.

The coaches are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and know how to push you! Dorian led this class and was fantastic, really making sure you got the most of the workout & doing a great job of motivating and pushing you to finish up the last reps! The workouts alternate every other day between weight- lifting or cardio focused, and the specific workouts at each station are always changing! I'd highly recommend if you live in the area to check them out! They do have a few dedicated parking spots in front of the building OR you can always park for free at the Amli parking garage! Super convenient if you're in a rush!

F-45 at south shore district is truly an amazing gym! I am…read moreso happy that they finally opened! Coaches here are very professional and supportive. Atmosphere is one of the kind! Every day there is a different training routine with new exercises, so no chance to get bored. Your mind and your body will be very thankful for that. The playlist during workouts is very chill and empowering at the same time. It makes me feel like I am an Olympic Games participant If you are looking for a gym where you will be a part of great team - F-45 is for you. And if you are looking for personal trainings - surprise, F-45 is also a good match. It's a paradox, but I feel like it's a team workout and personal training at the same time! You will be working out on your own station, but there's always a coach around you in case you have some questions. It made me feel like I was on the personal training session. There are always two coaches that support and guide you through all workouts. COVID updates: the gym is very clean. After warm up you will receive your personal sanitizer and a small towel for cleaning your station. Before entering gym coaches will check your temperature. After each training all equipment is sanitized with machine that looks like the blaster from the "Ghostbusters" movie I cannot recommend a particular class or coach because I liked all of them so far. What I can recommend for sure, is to check out this F-45 south shore location. You're gonna love it!

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!

It was fate - I was meant to have a super FABULOUS trainer! I met Deb out one night days after I…read morefirst moved to Austin. When I found out she was a trainer, I immediately asked if she had availability. My instincts were right and Deb is the best trainer I have ever had - she works with you to really understand your lifestyle and your goals to make sure the program works to meet your needs and is something you can maintain. All that being said, she will not let you slack off on your program - especially important for those like me who really like to take it easy - let's see glass of wine or work out, hmmm? If you are looking for a trainer with a great personality who will still kick your a#$ then give a Deb a call, you won't be sorry!

Deb goes ABOVE AND BEYOND what you might expect and I have since referred my girlfriend who now sees Deb regularly.

And, they really do work to make it efficient... we have seen results with 1 or 2 thirty minute visits per week. I really enjoy the private one on one aspect of these sessions, too.
