Mōtiv Fitness — Local services in Austin

This is my favorite fitness studio right now. I love that I can get a self-controlled cardio workout and a really decent strength workout at the same time! And while there are many good fitness studios in Austin, the reason that I am writing this review is because of the phenomenal staff (ex. Isabella!) at Define. I always feel like they are positive and they do everything they can to make sure I can get my workout in. I took the 4:15 class on Tuesday that gives me the perfect example:

After having a day that left my mind racing and anxious I signed up for class through classpass. Working out has been the best way for me to soothe my mind for years; it is of vital importance to me physically and mentally. Things kept falling wrong but I made it to class three minutes after the start time to find out that...I needed socks, which I forgot, or money to buy socks, which I also didn't have. Isabella loaned me a pair of her own socks that she had to spare so that I didn't have to miss class!!

I was so happy that I was able to participate in the workout and left the studio blissed out, having gotten exactly what I needed to make my day right and quell my anxiety and restlessness. As always, I felt like I had gotten a great workout at Define and on Tuesday that was possible because of Isabella's willingness to be kind and go the extra mile for me. She didn't need to, but she did and that made a huge difference to my day. I think this is reflective of a commitment to the well-being of the clients who come to Define.

Tl;dr: Isabella is an excellent employee who helps to accommodate clients so that they can work on improving their physical and mental wellbeing. I think she deserves a raise and a promotion; and I hope that whoever the owner of the studio is makes note of her excellent...

I found Mōtiv through Classpass and immediately got obsessed! Their trampoline (Rebound 45/60) classes make cardio so much fun and their themed Cycling classes are like riding through your dream concert at 9am! I’ve even gotten into Barre, which I never thought I would be coordinated for, and it’s really improved my posture and flexibility.

With a membership you get free cycling shoe rentals (otherwise I believe they’re $2) and they always have towels available for you!

For people interested there’s 2 bathrooms (1 with a shower), storage boxes, and sanitary wipes in the studios. There’s also free parking available within the Windsor Sola apartment building basement that’s 1 elevator ride/walk up to the studio. If you need to fill up your water bottle there’s also a water fountain in the hallway from the elevator/stairs to the studio.

The front staff and coaches are really sweet and do their best to remember your name which makes you feel really apart of a community and not just a gym member.

No matter how tired I am, I always leave happy and energized to...

I have been looking forward to this class with my friend. They only have one parking garage which is not marked clearly at all. I missed it and had to keep driving down street to do uturn. By the time I parked and got up there, it was 11:02. The class starts at 11:00. OUTSIDE ado no interruptions if I’m late. The two staff there were on a power trip and refused to let me in. Because I was 2 mins late. So I went out and stood in the hallway for a minute and there was another girl that arrived AFTER me. The power tripped staff let her in. After turning me away because I was late. Don’t recommend. Ruined my entire...
