I have had other private training sessions and classes at Gold's Gym but never got the results like I do at Practical Fitness. Having little time to workout, it takes 30 minutes twice a week and you get amazing results. Also, with a few injuries, this method has kept me injury-free and has actually healed long standing old injuries. I have had a few great trainers and lately it has been Jen. A great trainer, motivator, and all around great person I enjoy Jen's approach. I highly recommend Practical Fitness Lakeway, you will love it.

However, practical fitness takes it to an entirely different level with the steady pace work out and the knowledgeable Kevin and Jeff and the rest of the staff. They guide, record, and push you to be the very best and have the most productive session possible. I've tried at least a dozen different types of work out strategies throughout my life, but nothing compares to Practical Fitness and steady pace in regards to value and the return you get from it. Great workouts and worth every penny!

I have…read morealways been active in running, biking and swimming my entire life, however I never been able to stay with weight training despite trying different gyms, trainers, and online programs. 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.

I've been working with Ishmael for a few weeks and really loving it…read more The background to how I came to training with Ishmael involves some serious back pain... it started small, but grew more and more painful over time... going to the gym on my own was not helping or even making things worse. After my massage therapist and chiropractor got me walking upright again, I decided I needed some help getting back into the gym because I didn't want to risk injuring myself or having a setback. The training we've done so far has been stellar... not once has Ishmael pushed my back too far, although there were times when I was afraid he had. I'm feeling stronger already, more stable, and less and less afraid of my back having trouble. All of that would be enough, but Ishmael is also articulate, personable, and so cheerful and positive that I leave our meetings feeling so much better not just physically but mentally too. I always resisted the idea of working with a trainer, not the least of which is that it seems their secret goal is to make you look stupid in the gym doing all those weird trainer exercises... but Ishmael trains in a private gym, so everyone there is also with a trainer going through the same thing... AND it turns out all of those weirdo exercises have tremendously useful purposes. Now I know those folks with the trainers are the smart ones, no matter how lame they might look being put through the paces. I'm learning so much about my body and how to work with it that I'm left wondering what the heck I was ever thinking trying to hack it at the gym by myself! This training process is helping me meet my goals faster and safer. It's a no brainer!

I friggin' love this place!!!…read more I was referred to Ishmael by a friend and I decided to give him a call and have an initial meeting. He was extremely friendly AND super knowledgeable during the assessment that lasted about one hour. A week later I started my one on one sessions and besides the fact that I had a very intense workout, I was not disappointed at all. My goals were addressed very specifically as Ishmael is very detailed oriented. A couple of weeks later I decided to try the group classes on weekends and those turned out to be pretty amazing too. I brought friends on different opportunities and they all decided to come back. These weekend classes are sometimes taught by Will, who's a great trainer and pretty hilarious at the same time. I'm very satisfied with this place. It brought me back the motivation and extra push I was needing after working out on my own for many years. Thumbs up!

I have tried a lot of workouts. Boot camp, pilates, bar, zumba, rowing, spin, step aerobics, dance,…read morerunning, cross fit and power lifting have all been in my repertoire at one point or another. One of the issues that I came across was that eventually I would get bored with those "one size fits all" classes. Additionally, since classes are elective I could come up with 1,000 excuses not to go. I needed someone to count on me to show up. I decided it was time to search for an actual trainer who could help me achieve my goals. I looked all over online for trainers and I knew I wanted three things: 1.) A gym that worked with all body shapes and sizes. There's nothing more confidence shattering to your inner workout goddess than staring at women in what appear to be bras and underwear while you're sweating it out in your Dad's old college basketball shirt and pants. 2.) Trainers that were willing to shake things up and try new methods. 3.) A gym that believed in a holistic approach to training. Mind, body and nutrition needed to all be part of the plan. I met with Carol -- an incredibly enthusiastic and passionate fitness lover -- who owns the gym. Right away she started talking about my goals, interests, types of workouts I enjoy, etc, etc. She took a lot of notes and got me all squared away. I have been training with Veronica for a little over a year. Let me tell you ladies, if you're willing to put in the work, you will see results! I have lost INCHES off my waist, hips and thighs. For the first time in my life I feel fit. Veronica has encouraged me to be strong, try one more rep and even cut out some of the junk food that I love eating! Veronica is willing to mix up the workouts too. We have done everything from pilates to kick boxing to some aerial yoga moves. I never in my life thought I could hang upside down and then use my body weight to propel myself to my toes and yet I did it 15 times! The gym itself is clean and comfortable. You can choose your own music and every trainer there is so friendly and sweet. If you're looking for a place that will value you for your whole self --- the person who loves pull ups yet also finds themselves eating a little queso at midnight -- you should try Goddess Fit. They totally get the human side of fitness and are willing to help you find the best fit for your body and goals.
