Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Training for Beginners & Beyond

Austin Simply Fit is here for you. Our goal is to help you achieve your goals. Whether this is your first time working out with a personal trainer or you are a seasoned athlete, our certified personal trainers will design a custom strength and fitness program to help you feel and perform better.

What do I need to do before my first personal training session?

After you have scheduled your 1-hour consultation and structural balance assessment, all you need to do is come in ready to move. We’ll take care of the rest. Each initial consultation includes a 30-minute conversation about your fitness and health goals, medical and training history, and our personal training programs. Next, your personal trainer will put you through a structural balance assessment to get a better understanding of your fitness level and to identify movement issues that will be addressed in your personalized programming. We’ll help you take that next step on your fitness journey. Welcome to Austin Simply Fit! Be sure you confirm the location of our fitness studios.

How is training at your personal training studio different from a commercial gym?

Our purpose is to create a great community and to help people feel and perform better through personal training. Get to know our experienced team of personal trainers and read what our satisfied clients have to say about us.

Do I need to be an experienced weightlifter to work with a personal trainer?

No experience is needed. We specialize in creating customized personal training programs for all fitness levels. Our fitness coaches will meet you where you are. Whether you’re a beginner stepping into the gym for the first time, someone seeking more accountability, an experienced athlete, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you reach your goals.

Will I get injured during a private strength training session?

Strength training can help prevent injuries from happening. Our expert trainers will teach you to lift with proper form. Proper lifting technique can correct a lot of movement issues and imbalances, thus lowering your chance of injury. Our one-on-one personal training programs are designed to help you achieve your fitness goals in a safe and progressive way. And by starting with a structural balance assessment, your personal trainer will have a strong understanding of your individual needs.

Do you offer diet and nutritional coaching to compliment my workouts?

Austin Simply Fit specializes in personal training, but we know comprehensive and holistic support to your overall wellness and health is the best way to optimize results. This is why we have created Thrive in conjunction with Keyspan, an Austin-based longevity company that takes a holistic and functional approach to wellness. By starting with an initial blood draw, Keyspan identifies key biomarkers—measurable indicators of your biological state, including metabolic health, inflammation, vitamins, and hormone levels—and creates a personalized plan and supplement regime to optimize your health. This is coupled with functional health coaching to help you stay accountable and reach your goals. Learn more here.

Does Austin Simply Fit offer bootcamps or group fitness classes?

While we do not offer typical group classes, we do offer multi-client training, in which you would train with a partner or a friend. Our fitness coaches will create custom programming for each client according to their goals and will structure the session to ensure each client gets exceptional coaching.

Will strength training make me bulky?

Absolutely not. Strength training will make you stronger. Many people who strength train will lose body fat in the process. When someone is specifically trying to bulk and add mass, they must make increases in their diet to help their body grow. If you have a specific fitness or health goal in mind, our experienced certified personal trainers can help you achieve it. We’ll keep you informed and focused while we walk you through your personal fitness program every step of the way. Start your journey to improved health and book a FREE consultation and assessment.
