FIT Austin

I’ve been taking classes at FitAustin for a little over 2 months now, and I still absolutely love it. I take the circuit (body resistance, cardio and light weights) and TRX classes (HIIT workout meets Pilates Reformer Class) about three times a week. I can tell that I’ve gotten stronger, and I’m sure had I not started working out here during the holiday season, I’d already be seeing results on the scale.
Lateef and Darrell are two of the best trainers that I’ve ever had. They keep you motivated and change the routines up daily so you’re never bored with the workouts. Also, unlike a lot of the gyms around town, the trainers actually pay attention to what you’re doing and make corrections and adjustments to your moves so that you’re getting the most effective workout in the safest way.
I really can’t say enough about this place. The classes are small enough (about 10 – 14 ppl) to allow for personal attention, without paying personal training prices. Yes, it can be a punch to the wallet every month, but since I actually look forward to the classes, I think it is well worth it!

Wanted to write an update: been at FIT Austin for 8 months now. Have lost about 7 inches off my body though tbh wasn’t tracking very well, improved my rock climbing skills, feeling stronger and more able than ever. The facility introduced some new equipment over the course of the summer — new free weights, different resistance bands that you can wrap around your legs, animal flow routines, and probably some others that I’m forgetting. Every day is different, and I continue to love this gym.

I’ve been working out at FIT for almost 2 years. I continue to get stronger and I leave FIT feeling like I’ve accomplished something great for myself each time. The workouts are always different which keeps it interesting and keeps me excited about going back.

Lateef and D (Darrell) are the best and the facility is clean has the best fitness equipment available! I always get a great workout at FIT and as the name states (Fun Intelligent Training), the workouts are truly fun which is why I keep coming back. It is really no surprise that the Unilocal page is filled with 5 star reviews, I wouldn’t expect any less. Highly suggest FIT to everyone, whether you are just starting out and wanting to get in shape or you are in great shape and are looking to step it up a notch!

I love Fit Austin. I have completed my first week. The class really does fly by. Great work out. I can’t wait to start back on Monday!

FIT Austin is awesome! I would say my favorite thing is the trainers. I’ve gone to classes led by Erica, Lateef, and Darrell, and ALL 3 were incredibly friendly, welcoming, helpful, encouraging, and clearly knowledgeable seeing how they all look like they are professional athletes… maybe they are! They never made me feel like I wasn’t doing enough and always offer alternatives for those with issues. The classes are definitely challenging, some with more cardio than others, depending on your choice of class. I absolutely love that you don’t use free weights in them. I will definitely keep coming back and am telling everyone to try it, too!

I like to do my research and find the best fitness classes out there so these 5 star Unilocal reviews convinced me to try Fit Austin and wow, they were on the money! I look for variety and accountability, great teachers and good value. Fit Austin covers all of those requirements and then some! Lateef, D, Erica and all the coaches are all well-​qualified, fun, welcoming and never intimidating.
Location: Conveniently located off South Lamar, easy to find and parking is plentiful.
Classes: 45 – 50 minutes, very effective and efficient because TRX suspension training is a great full body workout using just your body weight. They also use sand bags, bands, plyometrics, etc. I like the Fit Circuit class too because it mixes things up.
My favorite thing about Fit Austin is that it’s not intimidating and TRX is really adaptable to anyone, in any shape. You don’t have to be in top form to keep up unlike a lot of Austin boot camps and cross fit workouts but stay consistent and you’ll definitely get stronger with every class! Pricing is also reasonable compared other fitness studios in town! I would know… I’ve tried a lot of them! Keep it up guys!

Lateef is great, I can’t believe the results I’ve seen so far (strength, toned & the way my clothes fit). I had a baby a year ago and I’m not one of these über fit, bounce back in 3 weeks or even 3 months kind of gal. It took me some time just to find the right kind of work and space that I could feel comfortable in. Lateef is motivating & encouraging without being a drill sergeant, I really love it here and encourage others to give it a try!

Bouncing around from groupon to groupon as I usually do, I started off with Fit Austin with a groupon for one month. It took about that long to hook me in. I have been going to FIT Austin for about 6 months and I can see a huge improvement in my strength, endurance and general fitness level. I love the classes and the variety in the workouts, FIT Austin is the perfect compliment of cardio and strength training. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and the positivity is contagious. I’m hooked!

I bought a Groupon a few months ago and have been going about once a week. I go to the 30 minute speed strength classes because I’m generally doing triathlon training, so an extra hour in my schedule is a little much. This class is perfect for challenging me in a quick workout, working to failure, and using TRX, meaning that it’s always challenging your capabilities, no matter how strong you are. Lateef and Darell are great, chatty, encouraging and fun to work with. Most of the classes I have been to have been fairly empty (but I go on Friday afternoons) so you’re not competing for space or bumping into anyone.

I was looking for an alternative to my workout routine and stumbled upon FIT Austin. I had heard of trx training before and thought it was something worth looking into. I am so glad that I did! TRX is a great way to achieve total body strength.
The facility is immaculate, great location, tons of parking! Lateef is motivating, encouraging, and always positive. He demonstrates multiple ways of strengthening muscle groups from beginner to advanced, so everyone can take these classes, and honestly it’s fun! Best of all the first class is free, so there’s no reason not to try it! I have been going for about 4 months now and it is worth every penny! I feel stronger than ever.

I really like working out here. They offer a nice variety of classes and times and the instructors are all really positive and nice. I first started coming here with a Groupon for the Fit Fast class which is a 30 minute TRX class. This class is great and I really enjoyed it. I started coming with my mom who is not conditioned and one of the best parts about FIT is that they really work with you one on one to modify exercises so it works for you. The instructor took time after to show different modifications and discuss injuries. I think a person of any fitness level could come here and get an amazing workout. I have also tried the Circuit class here and it’s great as well. Once again all the exercises are done at your own pace and can be modified. The space is clean, large and spacious and there is lots of parking available. The workout is always challenging and the instructors are personable & encouraging. These classes are a great supplement to my barre classes & running to keep my body strong and guessing.

Big spacious location and great energy. A pleasure to work out here. Very convenient location at Manchaca and Lamar too.

Great place for those of who aren’t into gyms and like to use your own body weight as opposed to machines and heavy weights. Coaches are awesome and super encouraging. I really enjoy the fit fast class it allows you to get a great workout in and be out in 30 mins!

Over the years I have done every kind of exercise imaginable… bikram yoga, kickboxing, personal trainer, gym, hiking, swimming classes, etc. with the goal being to keep exercise consistent in my life. But alas, after 3 – 6 months, I’d get bored and feel like I wasn’t going anywhere. My super fit sister had been training with Lateef and encouraged that I try out a class in TRX. Feeling intimidated (hadn’t worked out in over a year), I hesitantly went… but left feeling like I was on top of the world! FIT Austin has changed my body and my life. Sounds cheesy, but it’s so true. I’m happier (because I’m working out consistently), and I’m stronger. The classes are difficult, yet amazing and completely based on what you allow yourself to do. Lateef definitely keeps your body guessing. It’s a judgement free zone, and all the trainers are awesome! I highly, highly recommend FIT Austin.

I honestly really hate gyms. Oh, who am I kidding? I just hate exercising, but I came to one class here and got hooked. And now I’m here three-​four days a week. I’m sweating, dying, but also loving it somehow. The classes fly by, the people are fun and so friendly and D & Lateef push you in ways you didn’t think you could be pushed. It’s not the same boring routines; it’s quick circuits that aren’t mind-​numbing. You can do anything for 45 seconds to a minute. Even me, who is constantly hungry and rather be on the couch.

Lateef is what you are looking for– for all levels. Beginner? he gets it. Advanced ironman triathlete? he’s got that too.
I joined after the first visit because it was a great work out, good form and good attention to detail.
If you need a coach and you want to get into your BEST POTENTIAL shape– give it a try… you will be feeling the good pain soon enough.
Glad its down the street from my house… awesome.

I’ve been going to FIT Austin for 3 months, and I’m seeing excellent results. I’m down 30 lbs. and feeling noticeably healthier. As 2014 starts, if you’re looking to make the right choice for your new years resolution, then the trainers at FIT will give you the support you need to start meeting and exceeding your own goals.
I’ve moved around quite a bit for work, and in turn worked out in lots of different gyms, martial arts schools and yoga studios over the years. Hands down, FIT Austin has helped me achieve better results than any other fitness program. Classes are fun and interactive, Lateef, Darrell and the other trainers are incredibly supportive and positive.
I also really love how tech-​savvy FIT is, and the smartphone app makes scheduling classes a breeze. Which is why you should be using it right now to sign up for your free first class.

Fit Austin is my happy place!
The space is not to big and not to small, the equipment is not over whelming and it gives me an amazing full body workout. I’ve worked out regularly in a large well equip gym for a good 10 years. It wasn’t until joining Fit Austin that I really felt fit. I truly see a change in body and I owe all the credit to Fit Austin. They rock!

Ok, listen up… This is the place to go to get in the best shape of your life. I walked into FIT Austin without really having an expectation, but let me tell you… that was the most well rounded, total body workout that I have ever done, and it was FUN! They offer a core blasting workouts, with an emphasis on form and education. The TRX systems and workouts that Lateef & Darell use really isolate specific muscles and muscle groups to where I feel I am working out correctly. They do not let you quit, and are with you every step of the way. This is a fun workout without feeling like you are slaving away, doing the same old routine, not making any gains or progress. In fact I love it so much that I drive from North West Austin (2222 & 620) to their South Austin location just to get a workout in, and it is worth the drive.
The bottom line is that FIT Austin is not an intimidating gym with rude (non-​caring) trainers. It is a fun, energetic facility that I look forward to going to. Not only am I stronger, and more FIT, but I have learned so much from their instruction that I go out of my way to attend their events in the park just to get my FIT Austin fix.
Yes that’s right… I am a FIT Austin Junkie!
