Austin Simply Fit — Attraction in Austin

Highest parental recommendation for Sierra Nevels.

A difference from a fit female High School Athlete & a College Athlete can be a difference of 7,10 and even 15 pounds - of pure muscle. A major college issue is that most of the incoming freshman athletes are not college fit & need the time to get there. This takes potential and precious game time away while they watch the fit athletes play.

My graduating HS daughter figured 2 things things out: 1 - A consistent peeve that all the college coaches had is “The one thing that the incoming athletes have control of is how fit they show up after the summer.” Many players do not measure up. If the player came ready, they had the instant respect of the coaches and a leg up on the rest. 2 - By watching her older equally fabulous club teammates having sit the college bench while they got fit, was something she would not repeat.

Enter Sierra Nevels: A top tier ATX performance coach for High School & College Athletes.

Sierra was proactive and reached out to my daughter directly after hearing about her soccer exploits. With the consistent recommendations of many athletes from McCallum athletics, my daughter knew this performance coach connection would be a great move and the route to being the best athlete she could be - and could use her senior year to become college sized and prepared. - Thank you Sierra.

Sierra took an already fit and successful soccer player, and in one year, produced a super strong and defined athlete with a rigorous fortitude and a love for plyometrics and weight training. A favorite item of mine is that when my daughter became Sierra’s client, she had atrocious form. Today, my daughter's sit-ups, pushups, chin-ups, planks, and weightlifting exercises have the safe and perfect form. She will have a lifetime of this skill !

While I have never seen my daughter’s and Sierra’s interactions, I can tell y’all that she is always raving about her coach. Never a chore, she is excited to go put herself into her VO2 max. My daughter is always learning tips, tweaks, safety and nutrition knowledge. Love it.

A small item that deserves a happy shout out. Sierra is a super fan of all her clients. She acknowledges all of their successes and accolades in social media. Awsome.

I can easily see that my daughter is graduating HS with all of her goals achieved. She and Sierra will continue through the summer to build on where she...

To say Kelly G is just a “personal trainer” would be a gross understatement. I have been training with Kelly for over two and a half years now, and she is the only person who has ever managed to turn exercising from a “task” to a “reward.” When I started with Kelly, I had never attempted strength training in my life. While I was an avid indoor cyclist, my body was disproportionate due to the “cardio only” regime I was pushing myself through… leading to issues with my body image and mental health.

Enter KELLY G!!! She truly took me under her wing. Her style of “personal training” goes far beyond the normal leg days, chest days, and push days. Be prepared to work out toward a real, tangible, personal goal! For me, I wanted to ski at the same level as my friends, among other things. So thus our journey began! I’ll never forget calling Kelly from the ski slopes after training with her for a year, because all the workouts we had done had completely changed my life on the mountain! She has completely changed my body, but more importantly she has changed my mindset. She takes a personal interest in you, will be your personal cheerleader, and is always there to “spot” you.

Most importantly, what you will NEVER receive from Kelly is any judgment. I believe her success with clients lies in her ability to create a true “judgment free zone” where honesty about your body, your energy, and your “outside the gym” life are all welcomed, encouraged, and accounted for in your workout plans.

Whether you’re an avid athlete, never lifted a weight, or somewhere in between, I would recommend asking for Kelly at Austin Simply Fit! She’s changed my life, and I’ve seen her do it with other clients as well. If you’ve made it this far, she’s the personal trainer for you!...

It's been a while since my first review, but I've only grown to love this place more since then.

I have had a fantastic experience strength training at Austin Simply Fit, and I've seen so much growth in myself while working with my trainer, Kristal Espitia.

In a handful months, I was able to go from struggling to do a single pull up to being able to do 24 in a workout. I transformed from having no barbell experience to having enough confidence to attend their Simply Fit Bench-a-thon event in February. But more important than anything, due to my time here, I feel comfortable in the gym, a place that has always been intimidating.

Kristal excels as a coach. She provides guidance in and out of the gym, giving direction on the tangible aspects of lifting, both on the fundamentals and on the technical details as they arise. She also will guide you through how to maximize results through out-of-gym habits, like nutrition goals, active rest, and sleep patterns. The program she provides can be intensely difficult, but the results speak for themselves. You will see improvement, if you put in the work with her.

At Austin Simply Fit, Kristal always provides a space that feels personal and welcome. It has been so important for my nervous system to be secure and confident in the gym, and through her unique experience and skillset, Kristal goes above and beyond to make that possible. There are some training days that honestly feel like time off, rather than a workout, because of the atmosphere she provides. Kristal's got an electric personality and is always eager to make the gym fun and accessible for everyone!

I can't recommend this place, or...
