Rip Current Athletics — Local services in Port Isabel

I have worked out on my own for most of my adult life, however, when we moved to South TX, I felt like I needed a change so decided to check out Rip Current upon the recommendation of a friend. It was just the boost I needed! Art is an excellent coach! He knows how to motivate and keep us on task and also pays attention to make sure our form is correct.

I highly recommend Art and Rip...

Art also gave me modified workouts while I recovered (4 wks - no weight bearing on arm) from a recent surgery, and he is open to incorporating other exercises you may miss from past gyms. After he took over ownership in the Spring, he added 24hr access (great if you cannot make the designated class times). Class sizes are small, so you get more personalized training than most functional fitness gyms. The other members (teenagers to octogenarians) become part of your...
