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

People around you are…read morefriendly. 6 weeks challenge every weeks only require you to come 3 times, for beginners are very friendly to start to build a better life. 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.

I recently completed Jeremy Robinson's 8-week program for the second time, and once again, the…read moreresults exceeded my expectations. The first time I worked with Jeremy was in 2018, when I lost 23 pounds. After turning 61, I knew it was time to refocus on my health, but I was honestly concerned that I wouldn't experience the same success. As a post-menopausal woman dealing with hormone challenges and stubborn weight gain around my middle, I wasn't sure my body would respond the way it had years ago. I'm happy to say I was wrong. This time, I lost 16 pounds, feel dramatically better, and gained tools that I know will serve me for life. What I love most about Jeremy's program is that it's grounded in the science of nutrition. There are no expensive supplements to buy, no strange foods, and no gimmicks. Instead, you learn how food impacts your body and how to make sustainable choices that fit real life. Jeremy is an exceptional coach. He meets you exactly where you are, encourages you every step of the way, and genuinely believes you can succeed--even when you're not so sure yourself. No question is ever a dumb question to him. His knowledge of both nutrition and fitness is incredible, and every time I asked something, he had thoughtful, practical information to share. The changes I've experienced go far beyond weight loss. I sleep better, my hot flashes have disappeared, my stomach no longer hurts after meals, and I simply feel healthier and more energetic overall. Most importantly, I feel confident that I can continue these healthy habits long after the program is over. If you're looking for a program that delivers real results and teaches lifelong skills, I highly recommend Jeremy and Austin Holistic Fitness. The only downside? You'll probably need a new wardrobe when you're done.

I have still ways to go in my weight loss, but this program helped me jump start it and gave me the tools and confidence to continue with it.

I went full-force with a great gym --just not great for me given my seven-year break and back issues, and managed to injure myself to the point where it hurt to walk. I came to my senses, did what I should have years ago, and started working out at Train for the Game. I've been seeing Kyler Brown and Jordan Pellien and the other awesome doctors at Austin Sports Therapy for about 3 years for my back injury, but never considered working out at the gym RIGHT THERE. The coaches push me but also have insight into my back issues bc they've talked to the doctors and know what modifications to give me. They pay attention and guide me through the group workouts. The only negatives are that the gym is full of HS football players at 5 pm, and there are no classes on Sundays.

This is not a typical membership gym setup, it's setup for classes. Classes: this was not a positive experience. I came in for a trial class and was given a great workout by Dan. The next time I came in I had a different trainer and she was negative and unfriendly. Then, my next 3 workouts at this facility were ALL the SAME! So, within 10 days time and 4 classes later I had done pushups, sandbell slams, lunges, and squats in every single workout with a few other exercises mixed in. The same muscles were being worked and getting quite fatigued. The workouts lacked variety and it seemed the trainers were just facilitators and not designing the workouts. They explained to me that their workouts stay the same for an entire month, which is not conducive to developing all ten fitness components nor injury prevention. I was never asked about injuries or if I needed to modify by any of the trainers. I will say, while there was hardly ever anyone at the front desk, a couple of trainers remembered my name (except for the one unfriendly trainer) and engaged me in conversation while I was walking around during my visits. The general manager was great about listening to my concerns and admitted that they're a new business in every sense. For the money, you can get much better service and customized workouts at other places. I ended up getting my money back for my month trial after trying 5-6 classes. I've had several trainers and coaches in my fitness career, so I have high standards. Beginners may find these classes to be challenging and correct, but I think those that are experienced will find the holes in their programming. Luckily, I've found the workout spot I was looking for, it's just not at Train for the Game.

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.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here once when my home gym didn't have any golds fit classes and Westlake had a golds fit class that fit into my schedule. Getting there is a bit of a trek for me since I live on the east side. Checking in is a breeze, amenities are what you typically find at a golds gym however this one does seem a bit outdated. There is a GGX, Golds fit, Golds burn, and the rest of the golds classes available as long as you sing up beforehand. Bathrooms are alright, there used to be a pool here but I believe all of pools were closed down after covid. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, one of the more outdated golds gym in the Austin area. Good community and decent weight/equipment options.

They also have tv screens with the moves showing what's coming up next so you don't feel lost or awkward as a first timer. I actually left sweating and feeling energized. After class each person was provided with a cold strong towel to cool down. The cool thing that sets Strong apart is that their "rowformer" has a bike attach and erg/rowing machine. The bathrooms also include a shower area and they have a separate area for cool down stretching as well! These were such nice touches! There's a parking garage attached so no stress to be had there! They provide parking validation! Right now they have a sale of 15 days (unlimited classes) for $69 which is a great deal!

I was lucky to win 5 free sessions at a raffle drawing during one of my running events. I was…read moreexcited to try it out; Shannon the representative was so friendly and welcoming. She set the tone for the positive experience I would receive. Because Strong Pilates is a little different from regular Reformer Pilates, it takes a while to get used to the vocabulary and equipment logistics and usage. I like the fact that Strong Pilates combines either a bike or rower (known as the "erg side) to the workout. The intervals on the erg side are challenging, either based on a certain calorie burn or number of meters. There are usually about 3 blocks of bike or rower: Once the first erg side workout is completed with several intervals of intense work followed by short rests, the session progresses to the strength side, utilizing the carriage and springs and sometimes free weights. This part is more like traditional reformer Pilates, but with a few differences. After attaching the carriage straps to your feet or hands, several challenging strength exercises follow. Sometimes you are standing up or planking, while pulling the carriage. The spring tension is adjustable to how strong you are feeling. I felt a little unsteady during some of the planking positions, as the carriage tended to move. But this can be corrected by adding more spring tension. I normally do lots of weight lifting/strength workouts, but Strong Pilates takes it to a new level! I definitely felt very strong (and tired) after each workout! The cold scented towels provided at the end are so refreshing...a perfect way to end the session!
