Lumos Fitness Collective — Local services in Austin

I had never lifted a weight in my life when I first showed up at Lumos and I was in a lot of pain. I didn't feel like a very strong person and I mostly did cardio. I know now that there is just no way to describe the type of experience you get at this gym until you've experienced it.

I have always found weights and equipment bewildering and never knew what to do with it. Lumos gives you a specific prescription every day that changes so often that you are constantly challenged and never bored. The coaches at Lumos are there to make sure that you know what to do and that you are doing it properly and that you are challenging yourself every day. Everyone was so helpful that, especially in the beginning, I felt as though I was in a class full of coaches most of the time. The first person to finish anything is always the loudest cheerleader for the one coming in last. Their cheering voices replaced the negative voice in my own head.

When I signed up at Lumos, I was comparing it against gym memberships. Now that I've had both, it's laughable to compare. One leaves you isolated and preyed upon by surprise sneaky fees (hi big gym) and one will change you emotionally and physically from the inside out, guaranteed.

Prior to joining Lumos, I was doing a fitness program on my own at my condo’s gym. I was feeling like progress was happening, but very slowly. I was also feeling very isolated. I have been with Lumos for 1,5 months now, and I’m loving it.

After I started group classes, I learned that they are challenging enough to make sure you get stronger with each workout, but still manageable for someone who has never done CrossFit before. The social aspect of this gym is a huge thing for me personally. Everyone is extremely nice, engaging and supportive. The coaches are knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I look forward to coming to gym every single time, and excited to see how much stronger and fitter...

The people are awesome and if you want accountability partners that is what they are. when I first signed up we talked about my goals and one of the things that I said was I just wanted to be consistently coming every week. I was a college athlete and I needed something like this in my life. When I slack off they check up. It is a very family type environment. Workouts are hard but you always want to come back and try again. Everyday is different. We also talk about our life and what we are doing every time you get there. They also have events for people to participate in to create a more family environment. I lived close when I first joined and now I live further and I cannot see myself leaving this gym. They also want to make sure you feel secure so if needed and you need to scale workouts down for your fitness level, they will. ...
