Central Athlete — Local services in Austin

I first went to Central Athlete before a trip to Hawaii to improve body composition and simply to get into the routine of working out again. I worked directly with Jesse and we started out with a consultation to address my goals, my program, and any existing or past injuries I had. After the consultation, Jesse put me on a body scan, which gave a detailed analysis of my body comp- my weight, body fat, proportion of fat to muscle, and balance of mass amongst my whole body to determine my symmetry. With the info in place, we started my program- 3 times a week for 1 hour per session. I even received nutritional guidance and began logging my food. Having a coach like Jesse reviewing your meals makes you want to eat clean. After a challenging 3 weeks, we tested and re-scanned to see what progress had been made. To my surprise, I had lost 5 pounds of fat, gained 2.5 pounds of muscle and dropped 4% body fat in only 3 weeks. Needless to stay I felt great and my goals were far exceeded. Now I'm 6 months in training with Jesse and I'm continuing to improve. Yes, Jesse's my brother and I'll always support what he does, but I hope that doesn't compromise this review. I have test results to prove this program's legitimacy. So, if you're seriously looking to find a program that'll give you results, Central Athlete is the place to go. Just be ready to work as hard as your coach...

I’ve been a member of Central Athlete for over 7 years and I’ve seen it grow into, by far, the most sophisticated and advanced gym, human performance center, and recovery clinic in Austin.

It’s definitely one of the most (if not the most) expensive gyms in Austin, but if you’re just looking for a gym, you’re missing the point — With Central Athlete you get a personal trainer and coach that will help you optimize your entire life, including a personalized training program, diet and nutrition programming, oversight of your sleep patterns, stress level management, blood test review, and so much more. You also get unlimited access to the recovery clinic, Central Health, which has state-of-the-art recovery and longevity equipment, which in my opinion just alone is worth the monthly membership.

One of the other benefits is that you can network with some Austin’s best entrepreneurs and highest performers, who are also members at CA.

If you’re just looking for a gym, it might be overkill, but if you’re looking for a comprehensive team to improve performance in every aspect of your life while holding you accountable to your goals, nothing else in Austin even...

Absolutely life changing!

I have tried out so many classes, gyms, sports for the past decade. Nothing compares to Central Athlete. I have always suffered from mediocre form and injuries resulting from weak spots that I didn’t know I had. I have tried yoga, chiropractor, and many other things to help my chronic pain.

My coach, Andy, helped isolate my weak spots to create a fitness plan for me to strengthen them. After mastering them, he advanced me to movements specific to my initial goal. Without his knowledge and expertise, I would have never achieved this level of strength without injuring myself (again).

I’m 4 months into working with Andy and I never anticipated on being this strong! Every deadlift, squat, bench is a PR! I have muscles that I never knew existed. I love and appreciate his positive energy to push and help everyone on the gym floor (:

Bonus notes: Central Health, which is a part of Central Athlete, is a MUST if you’re going to be training hard. I love using the sauna, flowpresso, and red light therapy to recover from...
