I've improved not only my strength, but also my balance, stamina, and eating habits. When I started working with Sondra I had just finished my 3rd round of chemo. I had had breast cancer and several years later, uterine cancer. My diet had gotten really out of whack and I had gained about thirty pounds. In addition, my balance was terrible and I fell all the time. I had spent so much time in bed that I had very little strength or stamina. Our first year together was hard and I didn't always look forward to training. But I liked Sondra and actually began to enjoy our workouts! At first, I wasn't used to being challenged that way and I had gotten lazy. But something in me wanted to get stronger and fitter. I wanted her to be proud of me. I missed some workouts, but I kept at it. Today I'm not the same person. I look forward to workouts, and because Sondra is so knowledgeable, she knows how to keep me engaged. Now I hate to miss a session! I've lost all the weight I'd put on and am so much stronger and fitter, with better endurance. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe. I like the way I look and feel and I can do so much more than I once could. I plan to keep training with her. I think Sondra is the best! I recommend her unreservedly.

Over the past few months, Carmen's work with me has significantly improved how I feel throughout the day. With her training, I've discovered entire groups of muscles I never even knew I had.

I hold myself differently and feel more comfortable, especially at my shoulders and lower back. My lower back pain is gone. I sleep better and feel more confident walking around. Carmen has a real intuition for the body's movement, reminding me of my ballerina sister. Carmen can tell just by watching when something is off. She's also great to be around; whether it's the exercise, the company, or both, I'm always more cheerful leaving a workout. The app plus video also enables me to continue sessions while traveling.

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.

Scheduled a call to review my needs and was able to get into Eric's schedule for a Friday assessment. The gym is quaint and quiet, I've driven by a million times.

They have parking in the rear of the building which is great however there is a single entry way and well, not sure how multiple cars could park and get out. Just know your reverse skills need to be on point. The gym inside has everything you'd need and since it's not open to the public it's just the clients and trainers. That means no waiting for machines and no one looking at you while you're there. Eric is great, he's very easy to talk to and made the whole experience easy. Upon arrival we walked through the questionnaire filled out online to find out the why behind the personal training inquiry. He then did a body scan for weight and fat %, took blood pressure three times as well. Gave a quick tour of the gym and how things work then it was onto the physical movement assessment. Nothing too crazy, range of motion and flexibility tasks. Took an hour for the initial visit and came back the next day to finish a few small exercises then learn the warm up needed prior to sessions. No membership needed as you buy the session in backs, 5, 10, 20 and can be used how you want. Like that there's no long term contract to sign. Session will start in the next week or so with focus on building/repairing the base/functional imbalances before getting into the fun part. Time will tell how this goes, wish me luck!

Once you do, assuming you're motivated to make a change in your life, you'll most definitely become hooked. The facility and equipment (free weights, treadmills, TRX, Infrared Sauna, bio-metrics reader etc.) are top-notch, the training staff is excellent, and the classes are great. For the classes, the staff certainly wants to help you see results, but you do train at your own pace. Which is a good thing because with like CrossFit (which I've done) workouts turn into competitions and competition lead to injury, Fit Austin is self paced. Ultimately, you're only competition is yourself and what you decide to put into it. Special shout out to Lane, who always brings the energy + excellent WODs to the table. Do yourself a favor, drop the gym membership that you rarely use and when you do you just got through the motions.

I enjoy this class so much more then I ever enjoyed Barre, Yoga or CrossFit. It's just a true combination of everything and that makes it so much more doable as it never gets boring. Random body parts are always sore. They also always provide alternatives if you have an injury. The class is super diverse. People of ALL ages and ALL weights. It's refreshing. You're not intimated but you're also motivated. Personal tip: If Lateef doesn't immediately respond to your email just email again. He's an actual owner hustler as he teaches so many of his classes and does a lot of personal training and he doesn't have an assistant so he juggles it all on his own. Fit Austin is totally worth it so don't get upset just send a follow up and he will respond. It's worth it!!!!

I have been working out with Ann Marie - either through personal training or her week day boot camps - for 5+ years. She is a well versed fitness instructor - she incorporates yoga, total body weight work, cardio, weights, pilates and more into her workouts. Ann Marie personally invests in her clients - she aims to help with your fitness, nutrition and life goals, whatever they may be. Ann Marie's workouts are always challenging and always incorporate something new. As an experienced runner, Ann Maries workouts really improved my running and strengthened my core such that I could run long distances without injury. While I've been working out with Ann Marie, I have run totally injury free! Ann Marie is a wonderful, kind person - her company regularly hosts boot camps where the funds are donated to local non-profits. Check out Down Dog Fitness - you won't be disappointed. read more

I never thought I could look forward to getting up at 5am! Anne Marie always has something different and challenging planned for us to do. I am a runner and felt like I was in pretty decent shape until a friend of mine brought me to one of Anne Marie's classes. It was a wake up call, so I signed up and could see progress in my strength after just a few weeks. Anne Marie gives lots of individual attention and is always checking to make sure we have good form. If you are looking for a physical challenge in a positive and fun environment, then this will be perfect for you.

And not just your sort of joe average, "I think maybe a pulled a muscle" injury - I have seen him work with victims of stroke and car accidents. d) He is a fine individual. I have been to over a hundred medical professionals in the last 10 years, and while Gray is not currently a medically licensed individual, he has the respect and professionalism that they all ought to strive for. Now, if you are a person who needs a fancy giant gym with a sauna and a pool, Gray's place may not be the place for you right now. But if you want to work with somebody who will show you how weight training can benefit anyone, this is the guy to see. In addition to weight training (utilizing barbells, free weights, kettlebells and some theraband, along with body weight), Gray also sometimes teaches small group classes that are circuit-like, which incorporate aerobic exercise. He is also an expert level grappler, if you are interested in that type of martial art, but that is not his primary teaching focus. If I could give Gray 10 stars, I would. Overall, a super human being.

While possibly helpful to some, Ashley adheres to one, and one only, method of her nutrition…read moretraining. For $50 a week of this, I was given a shopping list of foods I could eat. Then, I was given a one day meal plan to follow and told to enter everything I ate into My Fitness Pal. Not sure how this one day meal plan was customized to me; that was not clear. Curious. At the end of the week, she sent me comments on what I ate. Once I was reprimanded for eating the 2oz of almonds that were in my one day meal plan. Well, why were they in my "customized" one day meal plan to begin with? Curious. I received no substantive comments unless you count cliche cheerleader prompts. And the majority of the food-related comments were exactly what My Fitness Pal, a free app, already told me. Perhaps this approach works for some. But it doesn't for me which is what I wrote to her about. Instead of coming up with something customized to me, she refused to adapt the plan and just sent me more cliched lines like, "How much do you want this?", "I'm your friend." , and "trust me." Lastly, I paid $390 is advance, and was not informed there is no refund policy. After receiving 1.5 weeks of her nutrition and 1 group class, all calculated at her non-package rate of $50 a week for nutrition and $30 for one group session. That comes to $130 in services I received. Now, she refuses to refund the rest of my money, citing this post-hoc refund policy. Curious.

She has helped me with meal planning, given me encouragement when I needed it, and has made it a fun life change, into health and loving my body. You have added so much value to how I live, through being such a great motivator, trainer, teacher, and coach.

Their hours and continuous class options are pretty accommodating. Here are my 2 issues with JM: (1.) The classes are too big! Each time I have been there, it is a constant struggle to keep from kicking someone in their eye. (2.) This is just me, but I am a bit put off that there is no water fountain or source of water here except for you to pay $1 for plastic (bad, bad anti-green Joy Moves) bottled water. You can bring your own water, however, if I just paid $18 for a workshop, I think you can give me a bitch ass glass of water for free. No? Oh no - what's this? JM has raised their prices since I first wrote this review. Takin' it down a notch.

She has the most beautiful, in home studio, all the equipment she uses is new, innovative and fun, fun, fun! I Love how every week she keeps it new and different, not the same rut over and over like other trainers. The best is her weekly newsletters with recipes and tips for a healthy lifestyle, She is way over compensating with my schedule and I always appreciate it that she knows life happens! Thank you Whit for our weekly session, It truly gets my days off to a positive start!

She listens to your goals and helps you work steadily towards achieving them. She changes up routines everyday so I am never bored. When I started, I was not into working out, but I was active because of my hectic and stressful schedule. Hiring her was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I look forward to my work outs, and the benefits I am experiencing are beyond my expectations. I am strong. I am fit. I am healthy. I feel much less stressed. I have more energy. I am a happier person all around. She is an absolutely amazing trainer!

I trained with Lane from Slate Training for almost two years, and she completely changed the way I…read moreapproach fitness. I've spent many years trying different gyms, trainers, and routines, but nothing ever really stuck long-term. Working with Lane one-on-one was the first time I truly felt consistent, motivated, and supported in a sustainable way. Lane has such a warm and welcoming personality that makes every session something to look forward to. She keeps things balanced; she's easy to talk to and genuinely fun to train with, but she also keeps you focused and gives great feedback on form and progress. I always left our sessions feeling stronger, more confident, and more in tune with my body. Beyond fitness, Lane really cares about her clients as whole people. She takes a holistic approach to health and wellness that goes far beyond workouts or weight loss. She's so knowledgeable about movement, nutrition, and the body overall, and she's constantly learning and sharing that knowledge. It didn't surprise me when she left for medical school because she's exactly the kind of person you'd want as a doctor. Even though she's moved on to this next chapter, I'm incredibly grateful for the impact she made on my health, fitness, and mindset. I was lucky to work with her while I did, and I'd recommend Lane to anyone who wants to make real, lasting changes in how they feel and move.
