This is a response to my previous review. To be honest, I would like to be done with this company,…read morebut I cannot let a business owner leave a reply that is not true at all. Nicole, your reply to my review is not true. I honestly cannot believe the audacity that you have to blatantly not tell the truth in your response. 1. I did not lose a "good amount of weight" by working out with you and I was not even close to my goal weight. I'm not sure why you would even say that. 2. I did not quit for "personal" reasons. I had to stop because of medical reasons for a period of time. My goal was to only stop during the duration of my recovery from radiation per my Oncologist's/Endocrinologist's request. If you are talking about personal: I did share with you that my father in law had passed away during the time of my recovery, but that had nothing to do with us continuing to train. 3. Yes, I did ask for a refund because of my unforeseen medical situation. I had been in the hospital twice and I shared with you that my father in law had passed away and I could use that money to help with arrangements and I would have gladly picked back up my training with you when I was 100% better. - You never responded to my text - When you finally did (almost a week later) you were rude and very cold - You made things VERY awkward - You got upset when I started to hold you accountable for promises already made in regards to my training, training session times, and money arrangements. 4. I DID NOT CHOOSE TO END MY TRAINING. YOU CHOSE TO END MY TRAINING BY GOING BACK ON WHAT YOU SAID TO ME. You didn't like that I was holding you accountable for things that you said and did during the duration of our short time training. You said: "I was trying to be kind and let you keep them indefinitely even though I didn't have to. To be honest when you come at me like this it makes me regret doing so" and by coming at you, you must be referring to me keeping you accountable for what you said, trying to figure out when I would get my last training sessions in with you, and not just let you keep my hard earned money. 5. You have NEVER sent me my workouts! EVER! I have asked you at least 4-5 times and you never sent them to me. As a matter of fact I finally had to tell you never mind I will type up what I can remember from the workouts. You are 100% not telling the truth by saying you would "resend" workouts that you provided me because YOU NEVER SENT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. 6. Per your contract, which I'm sure you're familiar with it states: CUT CLAUSE: Invictus Fitness reserves the right to end your program at any time for any reason. If this should happen with paid workouts remaining you receive a pro-rated refund. Well, you cut me. WHERE IS MY REFUND? If you didn't cut me, then why did you block my number? Why did you make promises and then go back on them? How can an honest business woman do that? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRAIN WITH YOU AGAIN AND GET WHAT I PAID FOR WHEN YOU BLOCKED ME AND WON'T RESPOND BACK TO ME. Lastly, I do not need a copy of my contract because I have one and clearly you don't follow your own contact anyway, I do not need to train with you ever again and clearly that wasn't your intention either because you blocked my number, and I don't need any workout information from you because clearly you would have given me the information the first time I asked for it. What I do need is for you to be an honest business woman and for you to have integrity within your company to fulfill your end of obligations when asked from a client. I would also like for honesty to be spoken. There is no need to not tell the truth when handling business arrangements and fulfilling promises made between two people when your client is just trying to hold you accountable for your words and actions. *I added a picture of Nicole's first response* *I added another picture of Nicole's second response* ***UPDATE TO NICOLE'S SECOND RESPONSE*** I asked for a refund and you said no, ok that's fine. This has nothing to do with that, it is everything else, but I get it, you're trying to save face. I'm not frustrated. I'm just letting everyone know what type of person you are and how you run your business. I didn't refuse an offer because no offer was given to me. You blocked me. It's ok, I have proof of all my "claims/events". I hope you can find it in your heart to run your business better and stop taking people's money. Thanks!

I just wrapped up 7 months of personal training with Nicole. After some pandemic weight gain, much…read moreless activity and a difficult year, I knew I needed some help and support with my fitness. I wanted to drop some weight, get fitter, and feel stronger. Nicole came to my house twice a week to train me, and she was the right balance of encouraging and challenging. She never made me feel bad for not being able to do something but trained me at the level I was at and pushed me to do better week after week. She also gave me pointers on my diet, which was immensely helpful in helping me drop weight. In addition to training, Nicole is just an all around awesome person and I enjoyed our time each week to chat and catch up while we worked out. I've lost 30 pounds, 17 inches, and 14% body fat, and I've never felt better. I'm motivated to continue on with my healthy lifestyle and to keep getting fitter. I wish I could give Nicole more than five stars in my review-she's amazing!

He pays close attention to how we perform the exercises and is interested in what we do fitness and nutrition wise outside of the gym. I have seen a huge improvement in my posture and muscle tone. He gives very good instructions regarding the exercises, explains how they should be done and why they should be done that way. I have learned a lot about how my body works and the right way to train by working with him.

I love her 165 hours a week, HATE her 3 hours a week…read more True Story: I was having lunch with my friend Andres (owner of Fair Bean Coffee shop) at Whole Foods. I look over his shoulder and say, "dayyyyuuuummmm... there's a girl over there that could kick BOTH our asses." He looks over and says, "Sarah... come meet my friend Don." Turns out she's also the trainer for my real estate partner Wendi. And upon further discussion, I find out that she has won some sort of "Texas Trainer of the Year" award twice. I'd never had a trainer before but decided to give it a go. So she trained me last summer for just a few weeks before she got hired at USC (yes THE USC) to be the trainer for their football team. She's legit good. She moved back to Austin this year and we just started training again. If you need a trainer (and don't want a sissy who will go easy on you), then go nowhere else but Sarah. She does one-on-ones and classes/group "boot camp" type things (which cost a lot less). And she's really a nice person (just not 3 hours a week). And don't judge... I know I'm not in shape but we JUST started training again. Plus if you hate on me, I'll come kick all y'all's asses once I finish her "Fit Divas" class (yes, that's what it's called and yes, I'm the only dude in there). If you see me, don't call me Don. I answer to "Sue" ============= UPDATE 1/17/08: A guy that plays in the NFL joined our Fit Divas group so it seems that Sarah feels the need to step it up a notch. If I don't yelp for a few days, look for me on the south end of Pease Park. I'll be the one whose "core" has exploded from overuse. I miss queso

Not just jogged but I completed the whole race with 12min miles and her by my side the whole time helping with visualizations and breathing techniques.

Looking for an ass kicking-lifting-tightening experience? (Ass kissing is a whole other review,…read moresorry.) A friend of mine recommended I check out Sandy George, a Master Fitness Specialist and Wellness Coach. She's amazing and she's affordable (I'm a musician. If I can do it, you can do it.) An hour session can take place anywhere - I like going to Pease Park, but she'll come to your home or office, too. I don't have to tell you that great exercise leads to a better quality of life/sleep/sex, etc., but I have learned so much about my own body in four sessions with Sandy. My chronic back pain is almost gone due to a few postural changes she suggested (after a full analysis at the beginning of the first session). I'm really picky about body and fitness professionals and Sandy does not waste my time. Sandy doesn't have a website, so give her a call if you're tired of running on a treadmill... or tired of running at all... or tired of reading this review.

Leni lead my yoga practice for around 2 years, she is absolutely incredible…read more We practiced 2 days a week for 1 hour doing vinyasa yoga. My starting level was very basic and I was pretty weak. She always gave me alternative moves to still help me become stronger without ever making me feel inadequate. Over the years, she helped me become strong, not just physically, but mentally as well. She teaches you how powerful your mind is and helped me navigate the waters of meditation. When something was difficult, she walked me through how to really listen to my body and know where my limits were. The lessons I learned from Leni helped me birth 2 children and keep a strong mind and body for hours and hours of labor. And I still utilize these practices in my every day life! Also - she's just an awesome and hilarious human and you need to know her.

Where do I begin?…read more Sumi Komo is a Master and a gifted healer. I've been coming to her for Alexander lessons and body healing sessions since 2009. She combines a wide array of modalities (Cranial Sacral, Jin Shin Jitsu, to name a few) in her sessions, to deliver a profound and deep subtle body shift. I can literally feel the deeper parts within my body shifting instantaneously under her profoundly intuitive guiding touch, with relief and joy, to their right positions. With every treatment of her's, my body, mind soul alignment come more and more upscale. My husband attended her teacher training classes a few years back. It was a substantially life changing experience. It was deeply gratifying to watch him become more relaxed in himself, confident, aligned and transformed, connected to his inner strength. I witnessed profound improvements in all areas of his life. It was truly a life altering experience for him...and for us. When you work with Sumi, either in her dance classes, her Alexander technique teacher training, her one on one treatments, you can expect to engage in a deep reordering process that is beyond the mind's ability to comprehend, plan or micromanage. You really need to do a series of sessions with her to fully honor the profound life and body altering processes she sets in motion for you. Words cannot convey the gratitude I have for the profound gifts she shares.

If you don't think good posture and movement relates to all your health, try a session with Sumi. You will never be the same. Once you are an Alexander follower, your life will change drastically. When you carry yourself well, people will treat you differently and you will feel better about yourself. There is no doubt. The Alexander Technique is a modern miracle.
