Alright, I suppose it's about time for me to write this review. I've been going to Marlow's Fitness…read moresince January 20th. I know that exact date because that was the date I read the Yelp reviews and texted a couple of friends and held my breath and jumped in this "Marlow's Movement" thing whole hog. It was... painful. It many ways. Physically of course with the weight lifting and whatnot. But also emotionally. It's bizarrely difficult to go from a generally sedentary lifestyle to something that requires five days a week and twice on Saturdays. Not. Joking. It's like slipping into someone else's life. It's not bad -- just uncomfortable. His program uses a couple of things to get you to show up and keep going. 1. Accountability: You're accountable to your team and to the program. Your participation, steps, team, weight goals, etc are all being tracked through your fitbit and myfitnesspal. 2. A reward system: If your team or you "win" the program, then you go on an all expenses paid trip to Cancun. You stay at an all-inclusive resort with the other winners. 3. Community: Since all classes are small (14 peopleish) you get to know everyone else in the movement. You become this kind of "we're all in this together" family. 4. Uncomplicated Workouts: 30 minutes of whatever cardio you prefer and 30 minutes of 45 second intervals of weights/body weight exercises. Also you'll participate in some external activities - 5Ks, Saturday morning walks, a scavenger hunt. I lost weight and continue to go to class, building my muscle, getting in better shape and it's legitimately the first time I've been able to keep it off and continue to workout. I mean, I love the ease of crash diets but just feels better.

Erin Leary is AMAZING. As a long time pilates student, I have had several instructors and Erin has…read morebeen the best ever! 2 important points: 1) I was in a pretty severe car accident and she was so great during that time. I took initial time off to rest and heal but when it was time to reengage my body I realized that it was going to be a LOT harder than I thought. I was so frustrated, at first. Erin remained patient with me and really worked with me to address the concerns I had about re-injuring myself but still wanting to make progress. She helped me emotionally and physically. 2) Pre-natal! When I found out I was pregnant, I was really excited but worried about how I was going to be able to keep up with pilates. I had severe lower back/sciatic nerve pain throughout the pregnancy (plus lingering injury from previous car accident!) and she helped me modify every exercise to fit my needs. She even did research outside of our appointments into various exercises and ways to keep me comfortable while moving forward. Erin's encouragement, patience, discipline, experience and kindness are above and beyond what you will find in any instructor. She is a diamond and I am lucky that I found her! Thank you, Erin, for all of your amazing help! I could not have done it without you!

Erin Leary is a wonderful Pilates instructor - knowledgable, attentive, encouraging, patient,…read morepositive. I've been taking Pilates for 8-9 years now and I've worked with a number of different instructors. Working with Erin has been great. I've added strength and flexibility. She's also helped me recover from some sporting injuries. I appreciate that over the 4-5 years working with her, as my instructor, that she has continued to study and add to her knowledge and skill. I've seen her work wonders with many people that previously had injuries or physical limitations that needed rehabilitation or special care. She's simply exceptional. If you have an interest in Pilates, I recommend her highly.

Their tiny tigers program definitely keeps my kindergartener's attention and their leadership program is great in helping tweens and teens develop leadership skills and confidence for adulthood. One of the things that sold me on this school was their Masters Club. This club offers all the benefits of traditional Songham Taekwondo but the fun part is the additional classes every Wednesday night. We learn other martial arts and street self defense including jiu jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, wrestling, grappling, and knife self defense. This class is affectionally called Wildcard Wednesdays because it could be anything! And it's all fun!! I have always been a fan of learning multiple disciplines but as you can imagine the cost of doing all of those at once can be tremendous. Mr Jason Shaefer brings it to us at a very reasonable price and makes it fun, fresh and entertaining. I truly recommend this place not only for anyone wanting to get back in shape but also if you have young ones that you want to keep active and engaged. It has a great family atmosphere and we all encourage and push each other to be better. I don't know many other places that offer this kind of environment, let alone with the ability to do this with family. My wife and three kids as well as brother, sister in law, niece and nephew are all taking classes here. It truly is a great place!

Our experience with South Austin ATA began when my daughter won a silent auction for a free month,…read morefree uniform and free registration from her school. From the very first class, Mr. Schaefer, Mrs. Schaefer and Ms. Lallier were encouraging, helpful and made her feel at easy. In the very first class, Mr. Elizondo, a recommended blackbelt at the time, went out of his way to work with her and make sure that she understood the moves and was doing them they correct way. A few months later, our youngest daughter joined the Tiny Tigers program and has loved it. Ms. Lallier is a great teacher and has loads of patience with the little ones. She always has enough helpers to make sure that each student gets the attention that they deserve. Jump ahead another few months and now both myself and my wife have joined up. To say that South Austin ATA is a true family friendly environment is an understatement. The vast majority of the 50 - 60 students are part of a family. All and all it's a good group and the instructors truly care about their students. The biggest advantage I can see to South Austin ATA is that the owners are the instructors. They have a vested interest in making sure that the curriculum is administered correctly and they students are having fun! Highly recommend checking them out.

I am so thankful I was told about Hill Country Movement and Strong Like Her! I started training…read morewith Gina in July and within the first few sessions, I could feel the difference. I am a baker and work long hours, standing most of the day. Before working with her I would go home after work and just sit on the couch not wanting to move. Now, I come home with enough energy to cook for my family and tackle any stupid house chores that need to be done! I am moving! The gym is very comfortable and inviting, I have never felt intimidated. Gina and Bane make you feel like you are part of the family. Even their dogs, Mojo and Lola, are there to greet you with lots of love! :) Gina's flexibility with her time has been helpful since I have the "time to make the donuts" schedule. The early morning training session gets me energized and makes my job that much more enjoyable. I can't say enough about my experience with Hill Country Movement and Strong Like Her! If you are looking to change the way you feel physically and mentally get in touch with them and start moving!
