I was preparing myself to have back surgery for adult scoliosis but Sumair asked if I'd let him work on my back daily for a week to see if he couldn't help. Mind you that I had been in physical therapy for 9 months prior to TrainLifeFit seeing me--the pt had helped but pain relief and correct posture only lasted 2 hours after each session. I was pleasantly shocked at the relief Sumair provided, corrected my posture by releasing muscles that were constricted and he explained to me that my weak lats were a big source of my issues. Going into my second session, I'm feeling confident that my correct posture will return and my pain vanished, hoping to avoid surgery. read more

I've been training with Sumair for almost a year, so buckle in, this is a long, thorough review! Before I came to see Sumair, I had struggled for years with back and hip issues. I had an extreme lack of mobility, and my pain was at about a 7 or 8 every day. I was limping around at age 36 like a much older person. At that point I had tried everything - tons of physical therapy, 4 different trainers, chiropractors, massage...nothing worked. When I began with Sumair, I couldn't do much of anything. I mean, I had zero range of motion and very little strength. If you're feeling self conscious or scared, please don't let that stop you, we have all been there, and I would argue that is where TrainLifeFit really shines. Sumair has built TLF to be a holistic program. What makes it so great is that it is a body/mind/emotions program. What does it matter if you can do a proper push up if your mind has been programmed to believe that you CAN'T do things because you "just don't have the body for it"? Because I am petite and small, that's what I had been told. I'd also been told that my pain was just my "new normal," and to get used to it, so Sumair also had to help me overcome my sad sad sad mental programming about my body. He also taught me about mechanics and how to recognize what was going on with my body. That understanding was reinforced through the homework he gave me, so now I have the ability to identify what's happening and work through it on my own. That's important for the other days when I'm not training with him, and I cannot overstate how much it improved my relationship with my body. I now understand it and know what it needs. So my result is, less than a year later, my pain is at about a 1. I have gained significant strength, stability and muscle mass. My winter coat didn't fit this year because my arms and back had gotten bigger! My mobility is excellent and I have recently begun to run again, an activity I had been told wasn't available for me anymore. But most importantly, I trust my body. I know it is capable of much more than I had been told. I understand it, I have a vocabulary to describe what is happening with it, and I no longer treat it like an annoying employee by getting frustrated when it doesn't do what I say. So you can train anywhere. But if you want a transformation, I recommend TrainLifeFit. read more

TLF and Trigger have--no exaggeration--changed my life. When I was 10 years old, I had to have major hip surgery. This put me in a wheelchair for 2 months and on crutches for 3 more after that. At the time, my orthopedic surgeon told me, "Yeah, you'll probably just never be a very physical person. Take care of yourself and don't overdo it." As a result, I spent the next 12 years avoiding physical activity, instead building up more and more tolerance for the pain that was a daily part of my life. Issues with my hip caused back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain. I was, as I said often, a "broken thing." In my mid-20s (with all the aches and pains of a 70-year-old), I decided to push back against what I saw as a miserable future of pain and debilitation. I tried rock climbing, I tried yoga, I did physical therapy, acupuncture, and gym work. With each new activity, I would have to muster up hope and throw myself into it. Maybe this one will work? Maybe I can make progress? Maybe I can learn to enjoy physical activity? Maybe I'm not a "broken thing"? But every time, no matter how hopeful I was, it wouldn't work. With sports and physical activities, I'd jump in too fast and too hard and injure myself. With the more gentle therapies, it wouldn't work enough to reduce my pain to a manageable level. Every couple years, I'd get up the hope and the willpower to try again, and it wouldn't work. Year after year, this just confirmed in my own mind, "I am a broken thing. Why should I even try?" After a particularly long period of sedentary hopelessness, I decided to try ONE MORE TIME. I checked Yelp and picked the nearest gym to my house. I don't even think I looked at the reviews. At 1AM, I typed up a plea for help and sent it off to TLF. The next day, Trigger contacted me. She started slow, focusing on mobility and targeting all those tiny muscles deep in my joints that had atrophied over 23 years of inactivity and repeated injury. She was patient and incredibly meticulous as she identified each and every limitation I had. She pushed on the ones that were malleable, and she worked around the ones that weren't. Together, we learned all the ins-and-outs of my joints, identifying every flash of pain I felt and targeting it with gentle but persistent attention. At times, it was frustrating, and at times, it was painful. But we did the work, both physically and mentally. Trigger helped me confront the feeling of powerlessness that injury can cause. I moved through all the anger and betrayal I felt toward my body. Slowly, slowly, I started to have confidence in my physical self. And in return, I saw improvements and gains. My joints stabilized, and my flexibility increased. My form got better, and my capacity grew. And the pain started to recede. It was SO slow in the beginning, but I trusted in the process and Trigger didn't let me down. Honestly, it restored my faith. Now, I wake up and, no matter how tired I am, I look forward to that hour with Trigger. We've moved past the therapeutic/mobility phase, and I'm doing more strength work. My body operates so differently now. The pain is gone, my movements are more symmetrical, and I've got more confidence in my abilities. I've begun to trust my body for the first time in my adult life. With that strong foundation in place, the progress is increasing, and I feel incredibly empowered. And all of that is thanks to Trigger and the TLF family. They take the time. They're patient. They're knowledgeable. And they invest in the foundations of healthy movement. That makes so much possible, especially if you suffer from chronic injuries. I've spent 10 years trying to find something that works, and this really really does. I'm so glad that I took the chance on TLF. They've changed my relationship to my body and my outlook on the future. There's still more work to be done, but I'm happy and excited to do it. read more

I came to TLF after a year of lower back pain and countless visits to a chiropractor with almost no improvement. I first started with classes and pretty quickly had relief in my lower back. TLF's focus on movement and correct muscle activation before lifting weights or getting into more strenuous exercises has helped me tremendously. I eventually signed up for nutrition coaching with Tess & private coaching with Trigger. In 3 months, I dropped 2% body fat, inches around my waist, hips, and thighs, and I lost almost 20 lbs. But most of all, I'm feeling more comfortable and confident in my own skin. I've also gained knowledge about food and mobility that allow me to improve on my own outside of and beyond my training. I know what exercises I need to do now before I run so that my ankles aren't hurting me later that day, and I know what portion sizes should look like on my plate. All of the trainers at TLF are amazing and helpful and truly care about all of their clients. Whatever your goal is, whether to improve in a sport or just be a better version of yourself, TLF can definitely help you achieve it. read more

This place is phenomenal. I have found skills that I thought I'd lost forever after multiple surgeries. Nic is tops and all others are kind, smart and helpful--just like Nic. They are about "movement" not just about reps and weights and load. I'm really learning how my body muscles and bones should work together. That is almost priceless. Please ask for Nic when you visit. read more

When I contacted TrainLifeFit, I was not sure exactly what I wanted. I knew what I was doing was not working for me physically or emotionally. I knew that I needed and wanted to feel different and I didn't want the pain from old injuries to limit what I could do any longer. I knew that something had to change. I enrolled in nutrition and introduction to movement classes knowing that I needed to push myself. What I found at TrainLifeFit was more than I could have hoped for. Each trainer there is dedicated, caring and loves what they do. Going to TrainLifeFit is transformative and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a life change or to keep building on what you already have. This team has it all- going here has been the best decision I could have made! read more

I started training with Nic at TrainLifeFit because I was recovering from an ankle injury and I needed to get stronger in order to avoid re-injury. Nic is an amazing person to work with if you have past injuries because he's so knowledgable about stretching, muscle connections and injury recovery. Aside from feeling a lot more confident about my ankle, I'm much stronger all over thanks to Nic. I can see muscle definition in my hamstrings and biceps that was never there before, and I know how to use my core for deadlifts and bench presses. Nic is also incredibly sweet and encouraging at every step, so he's great at teaching people who don't really know what they're doing and don't feel totally comfortable at the gym. read more

So the thing about working out is that is boils down to a very simple philosophy: "don't think, just do." I'm completely guilty of giving up early and not pushing myself hard enough when it comes to working out, and it's something I have to work at day by day. But on my journey to become the enlightened one of working out, Sumair is there to guide me to the righteous path. I feel stronger, motivated, and able to do much more things with his positive reinforcement and encouragement. The times I would give up normally on my own, I find reserve tank of strength and push myself through. The entire community so far at TrainLifeFit are people who are bettering themselves, but not trying to be better than everyone else. It's a very nurturing environment, that allows each individual to grow on their own, without fear of judgment. I am truly grateful to be able to have found a place like this! read more

I've had hip flexor injuries since I was a kid (I'm 29 now). These injuries are because I'm addicted to basketball and jump straight into a game without stretching and then I play for hours then don't wait for my body to recover then I go play again. Sumair of TrainLifeFit showed my how to body squats and practice holding longer and longer. This creates stronger hips and glutes, leaves less pressure on joints and weird ligaments; thus less potential for injury. Now whenever I'm consistently doing body squats, I have less pain, feel more flexible, and can play the same stupid amount of basketball. This guy will figure out how to make you better. Thanks! read more

When I told Sumair I was experiencing lower back pain, he showed me an exercise I could do to help alleviate the pain AND improve my posture. The session was chiropractic, yogic, and a fitness workout all-in-one! read more

Sumair is an amazing person and coach. If you're new to weight lifting, looking to improve your form or wanting to rehab, sumair is the man to see. When I injured my shoulder about a month ago, Sumair took the time to stayed longer at the gym to show me rehab stretches. When i was training for my CPAT, sumair was there to offer advice on routine and motivation...He honestly cares about your overall well-being.He wants to see you succeed. This man is a teacher first, so I highly suggest to listen, learn and lift. It will be one of the best decisions you ever made! read more

When I visited my friend in Austin last December, he brought me to Sumair's gym for a workout. Sumair gave me many exercises that I find myself doing today. Thank you Sumair for all the pointers. I hope to visit again soon. read more

I was only in town for a few days, and wanted to get a good workout in. I bought a day pass for $20 at TrainLifeFit: Sumair provided a great workout and helped me work out some issues with my shoulders and back. It's too bad I'm not in Austin more often! read more

Sumair is an excellent physical trainer and life coach. He lives the lifestyle that he advocates on a daily basis, which is not only exercising and working out but eating healthy foods and keeping a positive attitude. Highly recommend him! read more

When I first started TLF, I was looking for what most people look for when joining a gym - a better looking physique, a six pack, and cut arms. I would have never expected to grow as much as I have grown in the last 3-4 months. As I went through the process of getting nutrition coaching and personal training sessions with Sumair, I started noticing that I was making major strides in my transformation. To my surprise, I found the greatest changes happening from inside myself instead of on my physical appearance. Sumair was instrumental to my success by coaching me to bash my negative thoughts and reassess my goals and dreams. Most importantly, he taught me to love "me" and to prioritize "me" above all the everyday stresses in life. In parallel, he used his expert knowledge to physically train me, teaching me how to properly do every exercise with optimum form, precision, and breath. To me, Sumair is so much more than a fitness trainer. He is a nutritionist, a healer, a doctor, a therapist, a masseuse, a teacher, a friend, a hero...he possesses limitless gifts and talent! With Sumair's help, I know now that I CAN achieve more than I ever dreamed that I could. Here at TLF, I feel like I am a part of a family that gives me nothing but love and positive encouragement. I would proudly say that joining TLF is by far, the best investment that I've made in my life. Because of this decision, I am empowered with all the tools I need to become a better version of myself and to sustain lifelong improvements towards a healthier and happier lifestyle. The exponential personal growth that I've gained so far is simply priceless! I am eternally grateful for Sumair and the amazing TLF family!!! read more
