I was preparing myself to have back surgery for adult scoliosis but Sumair asked if I'd let him…read morework 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.

I've been training with Sumair for almost a year, so buckle in, this is a long, thorough review!…read more 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.

She is a…read morephenomenal trainer and human being and you will be so happy that you made the choice to improve your health with her. My journey with Katie started right after a really difficult time in my life. I was heavier than I had ever been (by a lot!), was stressed out and anxious, and definitely was not putting my health first. When we started working together the workouts were awesome but I wasn't seeing the results I wanted because my diet and lifestyle was not changing. It wasn't until Katie and I had a heart to heart that I started examining the root causes of my unhealthy lifestyle and made the commitment to change. So many other trainers would have just taken my money but Katie really cares about changing peoples' lives. Having her in my life has been a huge blessing. As for the numbers- I'm down around 30 lbs since I started seeing Katie and have lost 26 inches. More importantly I'm happier and healthier than ever before! If you're looking for a trainer who will give you personalized attention and great results at a very fair price call Katie!

Unexpected benefits: - [ ] greater knowledge of myself, more energy, no pain, and I *enjoy* workouts! Recommendation: - [ ] This guy is phenomenal !!! Call him up and schedule an assessment today ; you'll be so grateful that you did! Now for the extended version... Hands down, this guy is THE BEST personal trainer I've ever had the pleasure of working with! His encyclopedic knowledge, combined with an engaging, easy to follow teaching style, and his own custom, fully-outfitted, conveniently located gym, make training sessions something I genuinely look forward to twice a week. And I am the type of person that use to avoid workouts at all costs. Just so you can understand how incredible this is, let me give you a bit of my backstory... About a year ago... A demanding, low movement job, combined with being a single mom to 4 kids, and a significant number of life stressors already meant that I constantly had to watch my weight. I managed it though, mostly by dancing 3 times a week and walking for a couple of hours most nights a week. THEN COVID HIT. At first I was okay without the dancing, but then came a family emergency... and the walks had to stop too. In spite of all my efforts, my weight crept up. And up. And up. A month ago... I was fast approaching my heaviest weight ever. Now, I've struggled with my weight my entire life, so I knew what I had to do. But it just wasn't working. I was in a deep downward spiral, and I couldn't get out. I started to get depressed. I had received a gym membership for Christmas, but I didn't really know what I was doing, and the embarrassment kept me from doing anything effective. I was disgusted with myself and wanted to quit going (and would have, if it hadn't been a gift.) Then my boyfriend told me I should try his personal trainer. Nathan "Nate" Stowe did my physical evaluation to determine what I could handle. Based on that, he designed a personalized workout just for me - taking into account my preferences, old injuries, life situation and current ability level. I'm not going to lie... the first workout, it took me an hour to make it through the warm up. Just. The. Warm up. I would have been embarrassed, but Nate was so calm and knowledgeable- explaining the process at every turn, honestly telling me how long it would realistically take to reach my goal, providing a nutritional program to complement the workouts... and by the next week, I was already doing better. Now... A month in, I've lost ten pounds, gained *so* much strength, and most importantly, regained the confidence that I will get back into shape in time for the end of Covid, so I can go dancing again. And, I look forward to my workouts, knowing that Nate will give me *exactly* what I need with his magical and mathematical ability to determine precisely what I can do every time - without pain, without injury, and without wanting to give up! His approach to exercise - keeping the body safe and functional for a long, happy and mobile life - is fully backed by science, knowledge, and years of experience. His gym is socially distanced, safe, and non-threatening. The people who go there have a sense of family in a way I've never felt at a big box gym. I've never experienced a single moment of discomfort there. In my experience... Nate under-promises and over-delivers on results. He offers a wide range of services, including remote workouts, as well as nutrition plans. Most importantly, he follows up with me at exactly the level I need - always laid-back, never pushy, never bossy. He texts to see how I'm doing with exactly the right frequency. Often with personal trainers, I constantly feel their urgency to book the appointment because they need to keep their business going. I never fault them - it's a tough business to make money in - but the guilt was always in my mind, pushing me to book an appointment I couldn't afford... or just quit. With Nate, I've never once felt that he is in this just for the money. He really cares about his clients. When I told him I needed to take some time to get my finances back in order, he sent me all the information I would need to continue working out on my own - no pressure at all. You better believe that I'll be going back too!

I'm working out at a healthy, sustainable rate. I know how to listen to my body. I run outside -- actually, as a three-time Olympic-distance triathlete, I do a lot more than just run. And I enjoy it! Kineticore is to blame. Mike is a smart, compassionate, friendly trainer who guides his clients based on their needs and is very good about helping us maximize our time and efforts. His approach is holistic and realistic, one step at a time to conquer the big goals. If my 2010 self met my 2013 self, he'd be like, what? A miracle! And I'd say: No, just a lot of hard work and great leadership from Kineticore. (Now go grab a TRX.) I've now left Austin (so my weekly slots are open -- somebody grab 'em!) but I'm still in touch with Mike all the time about moving my healthy lifestyle forward. He's a great resource on healthy eating, healthy living, and of course, workouts. I think the best compliment I can pay Mike and Kineticore Fitness is that this whole amazing transformation has felt totally natural, like this active physical self has been a part of me this whole time, and Mike helped me tap into it. That's what makes him special -- not just personalized, but PERSONAL. With Kineticore, I found out what I wanted from myself and, with Mike's help, learned how to get it.

I had such a negative experience here that I took the time to write this review. Please read entire…read morereview before deciding to move forward with Chalk or not. I did the 6 week challenge with Chalk. Below is my review for the challenge and the facility. Recommend doing the 6 week challenge? No. Why?: Their In Body Scan. (what they use to measure your body weight) Recommend their facility? Depends. Please read entire review. I did the lose 5% body fat in 6 week challenge. My first weigh in, I weighed 173lbs. Body fat % was 28.5% and muscle mass was 70lbs. Throughout the 6 weeks I definitely got stronger. I was able to do 3 pull ups (woo!) , when I wasn't able to do any prior to the challenge. My endurance and strength had definitely increased. I was very diligent with the diet and didn't miss a workout. The day of my final weigh in, I weighed myself at my gyms In-body scan (the same scan Chalk uses). My results were 163lbs, 21.1% body fat, and 74lbs of muscle mass. I drove straight from the gym to my final weigh in and the Chalk scan measured me as 163lbs (same) but 25.5% body fat and 69lbs of muscle mass. Somehow I had GAINED 4% body fat in 30 minutes and lost muscle mass. What baffles me the most is that it measured that I LOST muscle mass throughout the 6 weeks which even the trainers agreed was untrue. For more clarification, if you lost 5% body fat throughout these 6 weeks, you get your money ($600) back that you put in to the challenge. I feel as if I was straight up gypped. There is no way I lost muscle mass throughout that time. The numbers don't add up and it makes me lose all trust with their facility. The trainers made excuses on the machine on how it depends on how much water you drank and other variables. However, they were not interested in having another weigh in to where the numbers made sense. I am happy with my results and Chalk helped a lot, but I DO NOT TRUST THEM due to their final weigh in and how they handled it. I will not return. If you demand a more competitive workout environment while having a trainer, I recommend Orange Theory Fitness more. In conclusion: Pros: small classes, more attention (depends on what time of the day you go) Pros: easy to follow meal plan if you do the challenge Cons: in body machine Cons: no shower

They more focus on weights training, not cardio, good for people who wants build their muscles. If you like cardio more, then maybe this is not matching. Cons : those issues I list only for me. This is a small local company, only has one location, so if you don't work near or live close, it's hard to catch up the schedule. The reason I joined the program cuz I got a summer job on the bee cave area, but after summer. It's gonna be very hard to keep going there. I personally don't want to spend too much time on driving. Because the owner idea is doing a small group to help people who want to change their lifestyle, so the price is little bit higher than regular group training. But Definitely cheaper than private training lesson. Overall I liked very much so far. Hope they can have more locations in the future.
