FIT Austin — Local services in Austin

FIT Austin is so much more than a gym. Membership does not just include a place to workout. FIT is more like a 45minute wellness class. Lateef and the coaches help to cultivate healthy habits. They bring your attention to breathing and movement, and they are always introducing new ways to move (in the gym and at home!). FIT offers a holistic service that really enhances your daily awareness of well how to be a higher functioning human! COVID has disrupted our 'normal' lifestyle. FIT has stayed agile in keeping us safe while giving us a space to maintain our health and encourage us to take action even outside of class. It does not matter where you are starting in your fitness journey - and I say journey because it doesn't feel like a 'workout phase'; FIT is more sustainable than that. I have been going for almost two years, and I have never gotten bored with a class or tired of a routine. I definitely recommend giving them a try. The atmosphere is not daunting or intimidating, and you make it as challenging as you want it to be. Even though it is a 'class' workout, you attack the movements in your own space, and the FIT team is there to help optimize the movement at whatever level is challenging to you. FIT focuses on HIIT workouts, which means that you are not just there to lose a few pounds, but you are exposing your body to a wide range of benefits. While increasing cardio health is a big thing for me personally, I have also tracked my metabolic changes like blood sugar resistance and cholesterol. I have gone from pre-diabetic to the opposite end of the spectrum, and my HDL (good cholesterol) is really high - and I can't say that is due to a strict diet change lol... So the type of workout -HIIT- is really good for your body and long term health, and the FIT team makes it so easy. If you want a place to dedicate time to your health throughout the week, FIT Austin is a great place to start. They have morning, evening, and virtual classes if you can't make it to the gym that day. Try out the 5 am class! It is a crazy early time, but don't worry, we won't subject you to any talking if you're not awake just yet. Highly recommended!! Thank you, FIT Austin, for everything you've done for me (and my husband). We love coming to see you, and we really appreciate...

FIT Austin is amazing! They offer personal training and group classes, both which push you to the limit. (In that good working out way) I have been to my share of fitness places: gyms, yoga studios, fitness camps, spinning etc... none of them have compared. They will give you a full workout and help you do the exercises properly. No rushing reps without proper form. I am currently being trained by Megan Kogucz and she is legit!!! I have had 6 personal trainers before her. (My weight loss journey has been long and my love for tacos is strong) Megan has been the only one to encourage me beyond the gym. She'll push me hard on training days, but she'll give me homework to do on my off days. She has helped me overcome a lot of hurdles (mental and physical) and I've come out stronger. It is wonderful to have someone in your corner, believing in you, telling you that you can do that last rep, you can hold it for 5 more seconds. With Megan you get a full training session too. Like I've said, she's my 7th trainer, and a lot of them like to pad the time with signing you in and talking and yadda yadda yadda.... when you train with Megan you get straight to business (yeah talking is allowed, but you're working) The results are clear: my weight has gone down, I've dropped several sizes, I have more confidence and energy, posture is better and my craving for tacos has lessened. I now know how to properly punch, push-up, do a burpee and run. This is the place to go if you are ready to stop giving up. This is the place to feel strong. This is the place to...

FIT is a wonderful, local gym with small group HIIT classes and personal training. I found Lateef (co-owner and trainer) one summer when in a desperate need to get my bottom in gear. I spent the better part of a year getting one-on-one training with him and he was truly a God-send. Always kind, uplifting, smart and caring. He would work with me on my diet, make me accountable (in a loving, not judging way) and had great workouts for me every week. I truly enjoyed those sessions. I was only signed up for 8 weeks, but kept resigning with the personal training for months and months simply because it was that great and worth it! Also, dropped two pants sizes and feeling more toned and athletic than I had since my high school days.

Group classes... I began those and soon found out how great the community is at FIT. There's no hierarchy or competition. You are your own competition. Everyone is kind, smiling and high fiving. No judgement, no boot camp yelling... just uplifting and fun.

The workouts change everyday, are full bodied workouts and are quick (45 minutes). They fly by and you know you got a great workout because you always leave sweating and then you get that sweet, soreness after. The gym is so clean, has lots of parking and a convenient location. I truly feel blessed to stumble upon FIT that one summer.

I love Courtney's classes during the week and Kyle's. Honestly all the trainers are amazing and you will get a great workout in with any, but those are the trainers I see most with my schedule. Do yourself a favor and go, you...
