Motive Training ATX — Local services in Austin

I recently signed up with Motive Training and started working with Brian Murray and my experience has been outstanding. My initial goals ranged from reducing pain from training to supporting my calisthenic goals. Right off the bat, Brian worked with me to understand these goals and the limitations I had been experiencing so he could personalize my workout plan. He doesn’t just set it and forget it either. After my solo workouts, I sometimes message Brian with questions and he will either provide clarification or suggest changes to the plan to accommodate my concerns and encourage further development. He uses my feedback and my stats to create a new plan every few weeks so I don’t get physically and mentally fatigued from the workout. Needless to say, Brian helped me accomplish those initial goals and empowered me to go beyond them.

One of the things that keeps me coming back is how much I keep learning from Brian. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He’s also able to convey that information in a concise way that translates to immediate changes in the way I move and function. As a dancer and a martial artist, I have found my practices improved by the wisdom I’ve gained from working with him even though we don’t train those things specifically. Through some of the exercises he’s coached me through, I’ve internalized methods to understand my body’s strength and range of motion. As a result, I’ve begun to train myself out of bad habits during the various movement arts I take on. In the rare instances that I have a question that Brian can’t answer, he has no problem admitting so and either doing more research to come up with an answer later, or he works with me to find someone who can. I have felt heard, seen, and supported through my fitness journey so far and I’m excited to see how I continue growing with...

I played soccer throughout my youth and all the way through college. Despite all those years with high-level coaches and trainers, I was never taught ANYTHING about mobility or how my body should move. No one ever taught me how to avoid injury. I didn't even know it was possible. I thought injuries were something that "just happens."

After returning to the sport after taking a few years off, I found myself riddled with injuries. My hips would ache for days after a game. Every couple of months, I would strain either a quad, hamstring, or groin. I thought this was all just a part of aging while still trying to play a very physically demanding sport.

I began training at Motive even though I didn't think there was anything "wrong." I found out that my injuries weren't something that "just happened." They happened because my hips were tight. Because my ankles were limited in their range of motion. Because my upper spine could BARELY move.

I've been training with Motive for five months now and I haven't had a single injury. I'm able to play 2-3 soccer games every weekend and my body feels better than it has in years.

Motive Training is definitely the place to go if you care about your body. Even if you don't think there's anything "wrong," there probably is. The team at Motive will identify the issues and come up with a game plan to...

Working with Andres at Motive Fitness has truly transformed the way I think about working out. What used to feel like a dreaded chore is now something I genuinely look forward to. For years, I struggled with mobility issues and spent countless hours in physical therapy, but the approach was always generic and didn’t truly address my specific needs. That all changed when I started training at Motive.

Each session with Andres is far from a one-size-fits-all workout. Instead, every exercise is thoughtfully customized to address whatever pain or discomfort I'm feeling that day. This personalized and dynamic approach has not only helped me work through my chronic pain, but it's also taught me how to move with intention and purpose.

I also want to give a huge shout-out to Brian, the owner of Motive Fitness. It's clear he takes immense pride in his business, and the culture he fosters in the gym is nothing short of inspiring. Brian is always around, offering support and ensuring the best possible experience for all clients.

I genuinely feel lucky to have discovered Motive Fitness and would recommend it to anyone who’s been struggling with chronic pain and is looking for a real, sustainable solution. The transformation I’ve experienced is beyond what I could have imagined, and I can't thank Andres, Brian, and the...
