I took a short (7 yr!) break from working out, and decided in June I needed to get back at it or…read moreelse. I went full-force with a great gym --just not great for me given my seven-year break and back issues, and managed to injure myself to the point where it hurt to walk. I came to my senses, did what I should have years ago, and started working out at Train for the Game. I've been seeing Kyler Brown and Jordan Pellien and the other awesome doctors at Austin Sports Therapy for about 3 years for my back injury, but never considered working out at the gym RIGHT THERE. The coaches push me but also have insight into my back issues bc they've talked to the doctors and know what modifications to give me. They pay attention and guide me through the group workouts. The only negatives are that the gym is full of HS football players at 5 pm, and there are no classes on Sundays.

Facility: awesome amount of open space featuring a narrow, yet long patch of turf for running and…read moreworkouts, lots of dumbbells, vipr's, ropes, dynamax balls, and keiser cable machines. This is not a typical membership gym setup, it's setup for classes. Classes: this was not a positive experience. I came in for a trial class and was given a great workout by Dan. The next time I came in I had a different trainer and she was negative and unfriendly. Then, my next 3 workouts at this facility were ALL the SAME! So, within 10 days time and 4 classes later I had done pushups, sandbell slams, lunges, and squats in every single workout with a few other exercises mixed in. The same muscles were being worked and getting quite fatigued. The workouts lacked variety and it seemed the trainers were just facilitators and not designing the workouts. They explained to me that their workouts stay the same for an entire month, which is not conducive to developing all ten fitness components nor injury prevention. I was never asked about injuries or if I needed to modify by any of the trainers. I will say, while there was hardly ever anyone at the front desk, a couple of trainers remembered my name (except for the one unfriendly trainer) and engaged me in conversation while I was walking around during my visits. The general manager was great about listening to my concerns and admitted that they're a new business in every sense. For the money, you can get much better service and customized workouts at other places. I ended up getting my money back for my month trial after trying 5-6 classes. I've had several trainers and coaches in my fitness career, so I have high standards. Beginners may find these classes to be challenging and correct, but I think those that are experienced will find the holes in their programming. Luckily, I've found the workout spot I was looking for, it's just not at Train for the Game.

This is only my second review on yelp as I usually only do this if I am passion it about something. I wanted to share my experience in hopes you will experience the same... On my first visit at the studio my trainer Shane Selberg, spent time helping me get specific with my training goals. He took the time to understand my likes and dislikes as well as the sports I enjoy. He made it very clear that all of this is important when looking at the big picture. After we discussed goals it was time for my measurements. I don't usually enjoy this part of the session, but Shane made me feel very comfortable and was very professional. He used ultrasound to check my body fat percentage as well as percentage of water. I was surprised to find out I still don't drink enough water. :) After reviewing all of his results with me, we revisited my goals to see if they were in align with my data. In my case they were. On to the workout...I loved it! Don't get me wrong it was not easy but it was FUN! Shane trains like no other trainer I have had in the past. Squats on a balance board, hula hooping to Michael Jackson...how could you not have fun! With the fun comes motivation, encouragement and inspiration! Just when I was beginning doubt myself, Shane had words to encourage those last few reps. Not only did he encourage me, he educated me on why he trains the way he does. This really helped me wrap my mind around the big picture. They offer Yoga, Kettle Bell and Boot Camps, I am excited to try them. There are no contracts at 5 fitness and they customize each program to fit the individual. I am looking forward to continuing with this Elite group of professionals and look forward to trying some of the other classes. You have nothing to lose by visiting 5 fitness! Everything I mentioned above is included in your initial visit and the cost is zero. Do it, I promise you won't be disappointed.

I was just about done with trainers when I found Leila. I was so tired of the typical. I just…read moreneeded three things from my trainer: energy, experience with the body and compatibility. Energy because...ok, keeping me motivated is difficult. Experience because a trainer must understand the body to get the most from a workout & compatibility because when I don't want to move, my trainer knows how to encourage and when I can't move, my trainer knows the difference- that is crucial. Little did I know at the outset Leila would bring it all around. Even better than I imagined. Embracing my flaws and focusing me on my goals. She exudes calm while guiding toward real progress. As I worked with Leila, I quickly realized she was multi-faceted. She could be a drill Sargent when my body called for it, an Empowering voice when my body needed more grace, and a freaking Therapist when I had to vent during a workout. The end result for me, working with Leila, is a spirit raised in energy and a body toned over 50! Leila you are a workout guru and I recommend everyone I know, looking for a real trainer, to you.

Deep Eddy Pool is an Austin institution! I spent many years at deep Eddie pool with family, friends…read moreand colleagues. It's nothing like swimming on a hot summer day. Your first impression of the pool will probably be wow it's large with so many lanes and many areas where you can just swim or float to your hearts content. Another impression might be and it was especially for me the bright blue water of the pool. It looks refreshing, cool, and inviting. Deep Eddiy pool has a oblong shape typical of large pools of its size. The pool has architecturally clean lines with precise corners. When you stand on the pool platform the vastness of the pool rushes to the forefront. Everytime I stick my foot in the water of the Deep Eddy pool, that cool refreshing feeling envelopes my body. Entry fees are very reasonable and can beas low as $2 per day. Paid parking is available in front of the pool and on the street. Nice relaxing self-care day...

Ok if you're desperate for some water…read more The water was crisp and cool even on a 99° day in August Half the pool is designated for swimming laps. There are no lounge chairs so bring a blanket for the ground and expect it to get dirty because people have to sit in the grass/dirt. There are a few trees for shade. No alcohol or food/drink allowed. I brought in my water bottle and no one said anything so I guess water is ok There is a parking lot but you must pay to park and it gets filled quickly Bike trails lead up to it Locker rooms are half indoor/half outdoor and rather dingy. Several lifeguards on duty. periodically they make everyone get out of the pool for 5 min (one an hour?) There needs to be someone skimming the pool throughout the day..there's a ton of bugs/leaves that get in the water. Also, since people lounge on the dirt lawn, everyone's feet are dirty when getting in the pool. The pool ropes had some sort of black sludge caked into them. It was pretty gross. $5 for an adult. Free for veterans.
