I've been working out with Keli regularly since March, and what a difference. I picked Keli because…read moreshe has lost over 100 pounds, so she really understands what it's like to be an overweight couch potato, and can push me without militaristic tactics. She keeps every workout fresh and fun and now I can move better, have more strength, and have greater endurance. With Keli I can see my potential and she is taking me there. Highly recommended!

This is a response to my previous review. To be honest, I would like to be done with this company,…read morebut I cannot let a business owner leave a reply that is not true at all. Nicole, your reply to my review is not true. I honestly cannot believe the audacity that you have to blatantly not tell the truth in your response. 1. I did not lose a "good amount of weight" by working out with you and I was not even close to my goal weight. I'm not sure why you would even say that. 2. I did not quit for "personal" reasons. I had to stop because of medical reasons for a period of time. My goal was to only stop during the duration of my recovery from radiation per my Oncologist's/Endocrinologist's request. If you are talking about personal: I did share with you that my father in law had passed away during the time of my recovery, but that had nothing to do with us continuing to train. 3. Yes, I did ask for a refund because of my unforeseen medical situation. I had been in the hospital twice and I shared with you that my father in law had passed away and I could use that money to help with arrangements and I would have gladly picked back up my training with you when I was 100% better. - You never responded to my text - When you finally did (almost a week later) you were rude and very cold - You made things VERY awkward - You got upset when I started to hold you accountable for promises already made in regards to my training, training session times, and money arrangements. 4. I DID NOT CHOOSE TO END MY TRAINING. YOU CHOSE TO END MY TRAINING BY GOING BACK ON WHAT YOU SAID TO ME. You didn't like that I was holding you accountable for things that you said and did during the duration of our short time training. You said: "I was trying to be kind and let you keep them indefinitely even though I didn't have to. To be honest when you come at me like this it makes me regret doing so" and by coming at you, you must be referring to me keeping you accountable for what you said, trying to figure out when I would get my last training sessions in with you, and not just let you keep my hard earned money. 5. You have NEVER sent me my workouts! EVER! I have asked you at least 4-5 times and you never sent them to me. As a matter of fact I finally had to tell you never mind I will type up what I can remember from the workouts. You are 100% not telling the truth by saying you would "resend" workouts that you provided me because YOU NEVER SENT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. 6. Per your contract, which I'm sure you're familiar with it states: CUT CLAUSE: Invictus Fitness reserves the right to end your program at any time for any reason. If this should happen with paid workouts remaining you receive a pro-rated refund. Well, you cut me. WHERE IS MY REFUND? If you didn't cut me, then why did you block my number? Why did you make promises and then go back on them? How can an honest business woman do that? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRAIN WITH YOU AGAIN AND GET WHAT I PAID FOR WHEN YOU BLOCKED ME AND WON'T RESPOND BACK TO ME. Lastly, I do not need a copy of my contract because I have one and clearly you don't follow your own contact anyway, I do not need to train with you ever again and clearly that wasn't your intention either because you blocked my number, and I don't need any workout information from you because clearly you would have given me the information the first time I asked for it. What I do need is for you to be an honest business woman and for you to have integrity within your company to fulfill your end of obligations when asked from a client. I would also like for honesty to be spoken. There is no need to not tell the truth when handling business arrangements and fulfilling promises made between two people when your client is just trying to hold you accountable for your words and actions. *I added a picture of Nicole's first response* *I added another picture of Nicole's second response* ***UPDATE TO NICOLE'S SECOND RESPONSE*** I asked for a refund and you said no, ok that's fine. This has nothing to do with that, it is everything else, but I get it, you're trying to save face. I'm not frustrated. I'm just letting everyone know what type of person you are and how you run your business. I didn't refuse an offer because no offer was given to me. You blocked me. It's ok, I have proof of all my "claims/events". I hope you can find it in your heart to run your business better and stop taking people's money. Thanks!

I just wrapped up 7 months of personal training with Nicole. After some pandemic weight gain, much…read moreless activity and a difficult year, I knew I needed some help and support with my fitness. I wanted to drop some weight, get fitter, and feel stronger. Nicole came to my house twice a week to train me, and she was the right balance of encouraging and challenging. She never made me feel bad for not being able to do something but trained me at the level I was at and pushed me to do better week after week. She also gave me pointers on my diet, which was immensely helpful in helping me drop weight. In addition to training, Nicole is just an all around awesome person and I enjoyed our time each week to chat and catch up while we worked out. I've lost 30 pounds, 17 inches, and 14% body fat, and I've never felt better. I'm motivated to continue on with my healthy lifestyle and to keep getting fitter. I wish I could give Nicole more than five stars in my review-she's amazing!

April is the best personal trainer I have ever had by far. I hired her last January (hello New…read moreYear's resolution) after several moms at my sons' school recommended her. She came to my house, brought all the equipment, and made my life and reaching my goal easy. I lost 20 pounds and 16 inches in 12 weeks and have kept it off for eight months and counting. Her nutritional education, insights and advice are amazing. Also she is personable, encouraging, and so fun to be around. Absolute best investment I made in 2009.

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.

I started working with Kathryn in March to strengthen some weak areas and get leaner for a show in…read morethe summer. Kathryn greatly helped me put together a coherent exercise & diet program matched to my personal goals. Her knowledge of nutritional theory was great, but it was her practical advice that really changed the way I eat for the better. Her knowledge of exercises to target specific muscle groups was also very helpful - when coupled with her objective feedback, this allowed me to strengthen some problem areas. I also felt she was also totally focused on me during the times we had allotted to talk diet/workout strategy. All good trainers know the fundamentals of diet and exercise, but what sets Kathryn apart in my mind is her dedication and enthusiasm as a trainer.

It was fate - I was meant to have a super FABULOUS trainer! I met Deb out one night days after I…read morefirst moved to Austin. When I found out she was a trainer, I immediately asked if she had availability. My instincts were right and Deb is the best trainer I have ever had - she works with you to really understand your lifestyle and your goals to make sure the program works to meet your needs and is something you can maintain. All that being said, she will not let you slack off on your program - especially important for those like me who really like to take it easy - let's see glass of wine or work out, hmmm? If you are looking for a trainer with a great personality who will still kick your a#$ then give a Deb a call, you won't be sorry!

Deb EXCEEDED my expectations as a personal trainer. She is a nice person but was not afraid to push me hard. She showed NO MERCY when I showed up with a hangover on more than one occasion. After just a couple of weeks my knee was getting stronger and after working with her over the course of a couple of months I was well on my to recovery. Deb goes ABOVE AND BEYOND what you might expect and I have since referred my girlfriend who now sees Deb regularly.

And…read morewhile I feel SO good in my teeny tiny swim suit MORE IMPORTANTLY I feel strong AF and am definitely in the best shape of my life (measured by increased strength/# of pull ups etc). Gina knows her stuff and is so helpful and approachable. If you're in the Austin area reach out! OR if you're not (like me) I highly recommend her online training program. She and I did everything via facetimes, videos, and (sometimes awkward on my end ) pictures. #strongrrryou #stronglikeher #girlswholift

Before finding Gina, my biggest struggle was consistency. I have gone through different phases in…read moremy life where I try to commit to a regimen but it never "stuck". I would yoyo between all or nothing and never quite found something that I could integrate into my lifestyle. It was not only demoralizing, but every time I fell off the wagon I felt like an additional hurdle was being added to getting the lifestyle that I really aspired to. I felt like it was a constant battle with little to no results. I love training with Gina. She is like a trainer, therapist and friend all rolled into one amazing person. She's always pushing me harder and she has honestly changed my life. I love feeling strong and it makes me sad that I went through so much of my life without knowing what that felt like - my one regret is not finding her sooner! She is very thorough and really explains the reasons behind certain movements, or why the grip is a certain way, or how I should be breathing - as someone who asks a LOT of questions and likes to know the nitty gritty, I really appreciate that. She's always asking me what I like and don't like and switching things up so nothing feels stale. She's tough and supportive at the same time, and magically seems to knows what I'm capable of. She's changed working out from something that I would dread, to something that I really look forward to. She's always going above and beyond what she needs to do. She's built such an amazing network of women, who are all supportive and encourage each other. She's constantly sharing tips on anything and everything - from nutrition, to dance moves, to just lifestyle. She's always there for me, even if it's a random text when I feel "off", or tagging me in things she thinks I would like, I can honestly say that she's one of the most thoughtful people I've met. So glad I know her now and happy to call her my trainer-friend-superhero. P.S. She has the cutest pups who are just amazing bonuses.

She is incredibly knowledgeable on nutrition and will discuss how to eat Paleo Style. Her rates are reasonable and offers Boot Camps. Ashly delivers every time, she will not disappoint you!

One of the first things she told me was her goal is to show me stuff I can do on my own so I'm not stuck paying for a personal trainer long term! UMMM WHAT? I respect that.

She is a gem!
