I was not in a Namaste frame of mind when I got to Hiking Yoga Saturday morning. I'm slightly…read moreashamed to say, I was a bit hungover and I had contemplated feeding my hangover tummy with breakfast tacos on the way to the session. Quite by accident, I found out at the last minute (they called late last nite while my phone was off) that our session had been changed from the north location (Bull Creek Park) to the South (Barton Creek Greenbelt). I was frantically trying to re-orient myself and my grrl on the new location, my belly was grumbling (hubby gave me a Clif bar-f), and my sis was visiting and was trying to catch up with me while I google mapped. Me and my grrl were about one breath away from saying screw it at 7:30 that morning. I am so glad we didn't miss it. We got there on time and the meetup point was easy to find. I am VERY ashamed to say, after living in Austin for 20+ yrs, that I have never been on the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Partly because it seems so vast and confusing on where to park, where to start, etc. So, while the location change was initially confusing, I was very happy that I was forced to figure this out and now I know at least this leg of the trail. We "put in" at the Scottish Woods trailhead and hiked to Twin Falls (well, until we get rain, Big Rocks), stopping a total of three times to do yoga (about a 3 mile hike). I was actually a little nervous that I wouldn't be in good enough shape for this adventure but it was not terribly strenuous. The trail is rough with lots of rock and roots, so wear good shoes. And the yoga was very simple. Nothing too crazy until our last stop when we partnered up, stood back to back, locked arms and lifted our partner up on our backs. Seemed impossible but was such a great lower back stretch. I will say that doing yoga in gravel ain't easy. I unavoidably widened my stance too much on warrior pose as my foot kept sliding in the rocks. ouch. Our instructor, Chelsea, and her "assistant adjustor" Abe, were very sweet and enthusiastic. There were several in the group with little to no yoga experience (mine is slight as well) and looking around as we posed, there were some who were waay off and were not corrected. It's probably hard to keep an eye on everyone spread out in the woods and the gravel was not ideal, but we got the impression that this was more about getting outside and enjoying Austin than about proper yoga technique. Chelsea was a great instructor tho. We finished up on a rocky ledge overlooking a pond and stream, meditating and listening to the frogs and birds and the breeze in the trees and on our warmed-by-the-sun skin. And as Chelsea quietly intoned "Let's just meditate and be thankful we can spend our morning in this beautiful place with others that feel the same way." I felt the calm wash over me and got a little teary eyed. I'd found my Namaste frame of mind.

This workout is a fun way to start your weekend mornings! When I get bored with my regular routine…read moreI seek out a new studio or type of class that does not require a long term commitment and hiking yoga fits the bill. The group meets the instructor at the Barton Creek Greenbelt sign and for the next 90 minutes you have the opportunity to take in the serene beauty of the greenbelt. The instructor leads the group through the trail and stops a few times to do poses like standing sun salutations, balancing poses, and various warrior poses. All the yoga is done standing so no mat is needed. Talking is not discouraged during the hiking portion of the class. Make sure to save some energy for the end. It is unbelievably more challenging getting back up the Hill of Life as it was coming down! Hiking yoga was the perfect change of pace I was seeking the two classes I attended. The area is so beautiful, water flowing over the rocks and green is prominent even in the winter months. Other hikers, bikers and swimming dogs kindly share the park. Be sure to make room to let them pass. Note: The park does not have a parking lot. There is however ample street parking.

This is only my second review on yelp as I usually only do this if I am passion it about something. I wanted to share my experience in hopes you will experience the same... On my first visit at the studio my trainer Shane Selberg, spent time helping me get specific with my training goals. He took the time to understand my likes and dislikes as well as the sports I enjoy. He made it very clear that all of this is important when looking at the big picture. After we discussed goals it was time for my measurements. I don't usually enjoy this part of the session, but Shane made me feel very comfortable and was very professional. He used ultrasound to check my body fat percentage as well as percentage of water. I was surprised to find out I still don't drink enough water. :) After reviewing all of his results with me, we revisited my goals to see if they were in align with my data. In my case they were. On to the workout...I loved it! Don't get me wrong it was not easy but it was FUN! Shane trains like no other trainer I have had in the past. Squats on a balance board, hula hooping to Michael Jackson...how could you not have fun! With the fun comes motivation, encouragement and inspiration! Just when I was beginning doubt myself, Shane had words to encourage those last few reps. Not only did he encourage me, he educated me on why he trains the way he does. This really helped me wrap my mind around the big picture. They offer Yoga, Kettle Bell and Boot Camps, I am excited to try them. There are no contracts at 5 fitness and they customize each program to fit the individual. I am looking forward to continuing with this Elite group of professionals and look forward to trying some of the other classes. You have nothing to lose by visiting 5 fitness!

My experiences with Rock About have been absolutely positive and life changing. I first took a lead course in August 2019 before backpacking throughout Asia. Russell was our instructor and he was very thorough. With no prior skills, my partner and I learned how to lead and clean and used that knowledge to rock climb in 6 countries- thank you Rock About! My partner is not a climber but was very impressed with how much he learned that day- the quality of instruction was amazing! We were so happy with our experience that I booked the climbing trip to El Potrero Chico, Mexico in 2021. The trip was well organized and SO MUCH FUN! The price is unbeatable and Adam takes care of everything so all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself. It's evident that Adam is passionate about climbing; the attention to safety made me feel comfortable during my first multipitch and I had the best time. I just finished my 2nd trip to Mexico with Rock About and can't wait for the next trip! I highly recommend Rock About for their courses and trips, whether you're a beginner or an experienced climber- they got you! read more

My sister and I have been using Rock-About for years and we have always loved our experience and loved the instructors. We took their Lead Climbing course with Nick and it was a well organized, thorough, and exceeded our expectations. Nick's mastery of technique and knowledge was immense. We learned an abundance and feel well prepared to go lead climbing with safe and excellent technique. The one-on-one coaching he provided was exceptionally, and we feel very fortunate to have him as our first time instructor for lead climbing. He was a fun guy, who has a great passion for climbing, as well as a smart individual who provided thorough information and verbalized complex concepts to our understanding. He included the physics components of climbing, the reasoning for every piece of equipment, positioning of equipment, and safety strategies/techniques with excellent organizational skills and superb demonstrations. Thank you Nick for a great experience! read more

Adam put on a great intro climbing course out at Enchanted Rock this past weekend! The one thing that I admire most about Adam and Rock About's approach is their focus on SAFETY FIRST. We did a lot more and climbed more difficult routes than I expected from a Rock Climbing 101 class, but it was great and really helped build my confidence and desire to continue with additional more advanced classes. If you want a guide that's knowledgeable but also a cool dude, give Adam and his group a buzz. In addition, they provide shoes, harnesses and all equipment which is nice! One tip: Be sure to bring little snacks and plenty of water as that is the customer's responsibility. Thanks Adam and I'll be back real soon. read more

I've been climbing for 10+ years now but Rock-About is where I first got started. In the 3 classes I took from them, they gave a great foundation of knowledge that really helped me as I progressed in this fantastic sport. The current owner Adam is heavily involved in the climbing community and deserves a ton of credit for the volunteer work he puts into hardware maintenance and access issues. He continues a tradition of great community involvement from the previous owners Rick and Kirk. I highly recommend Rock-About for folks first getting into the sport or even folks a couple of years in who want to refine their skills. read more

We've used Rock About several times now. We are experienced rock climbers, but have attended training courses for trad climbing through Rock About. The instructors are very knowledgeable, and work hard to make sure you get the most out of the experience. We felt comfortable and safe the entire time and felt that we gained a strong education for gear placement, anchor building, and multi pitch climbing. The quality of training and experience we had with Rock About was more than worth the price we paid for the guide. Definitely recommend this professional, experienced, climber driven guiding service! read more

Russell was also incredibly patient, encouraging and made sure our crew had fun.
