About
Thanks for checking out my profile! I want to start by saying that I do have to pay a fee in order to receive your message so please please make sure that you are serious about training and are confident that you want me to be your trainer. I don’t want to waste your time and I don’t want to end up paying for a lead that doesn’t want to work with me. My working hours are from 9am to 630pm Monday - Thursday and then 9am to 1pm on Fridays. Depending on my current clients I should have a time slot available somewhere within those hours. I currently do not train on weekends. My price is $55 per session and usually don’t take clients less than 2 times per week. Below I list everything you get for that price which is much more than just the training sessions. I also offer a free consultation where we can meet at my gym and go over everything in more detail! I’m located by butler and I own my own private facility so you don’t have to worry about being in a public corporate setting. So just keep everything in mind before making a decision and I hope we can work together!
I’ve been a personal trainer for 10 years and I really love what I do! I enjoy helping my clients reach their goals and feel better about themselves while living a healthier lifestyle and I take everyone at their own special pace based on how experienced they are. I’m not just your average trainer either, I want to make sure you understand everything about the process of getting in shape and that you have as much information as I can to better help you succeed. I go very in depth to make sure you aren’t just doing the exercises properly, but understand why we are doing those exercises. I want you to know what it’s called, what muscles it’s working, in what ways it’s helping you reach your goals, and how you can do it safely and effectively. I also make sure to heavily go over nutrition which is arguably more important and difficult. I wanna make sure you know how to track your calories, how to meal prep, what foods to eat and when, and how to really build the best meal plan for you. I take care of finding your calories and macros and can even write a meal plan for you. I will also go one step further and write a workout plan on days you lift on your own that supplements our workouts together. That way you can feel confident in the gym and can hit your goals even faster. I’m also going to be setting up all your workouts, changing your weights, wiping down your equipment, and cleaning up at the end. I work with all ages and experience levels and will do everything I can to help you succeed. I hope you choose to have me as your trainer and I can’t wait to help you!

Austin is the BEST personaltrainer you can ever find. He totally makes sure he trains you as per your specific goals and makes a clear plan and course to achieve that. Additionally, he’s very methodical where he designs and personalizes trainings that are custom fit to you. He ensures that you understand the workout, the science behind the workouts and answers your every question. Last but not the least, accountability is everything in this space and he does exactly that by making sure you are sticking to the plan and your own fitness goals that you are looking to achieve. It has been over a year with him and I never intend to leave training with him ever and that’s because I have achieved my goals faster than I expected and want to continue to push past them. In the past that was never the case with other trainers. He’s the best trainer out there in the market locally and I will go an extra mile and say one of the top trainers in the world. Trust me you won’t regret his personaltraining at all!

After the first consultation with Austin, I was left extremely comfortable and excited for what was in store for my first personaltraining experience. My goal was to get a jump start back into lifting and learn about weight lifting, and that is exactly what Austin provided. Austin is extremely knowledgable with how each exercise/lift would impact the body and the reasons why doing them would be beneficial for fitness goals and overall health. He also made the experience very enjoyable by being a motivating and down to earth guy. I was always nervous about feeling intimated by a personaltrainer or the facilities people personaltrain in, but this was not that at all. Every session included a few laughs and stories along with the sweat. I would highly recommend Austin to anyone at any level of fitness to work with him as you would not regret it!

I felt comfortable with Austin as soon as I walked in the door, and that’s important when hiring a personaltrainer! He’s obviously very well informed without being boastful about it - he helps you understand exercises and work out benefits in ways you’ll understand and be excited about! I’m a 31 year old woman, have had 5 back surgeries and have barely ever worked out (maybe here and there with a YouTube video) but we are both confident I can achieve my fitness goals with his guidance. His facility is perfect for anyone at any level and everyone is very friendly and down to earth. Super excited to continue my work with Austin! 💪🏽

Austin is one of the greatest people I’ve met in my life! Beside being professional, committed and super knowledgeable, his training style is unique and personable! He will always work with you to achieve your goals and what you’re looking to do with your body. Austin is very responsive and accommodating and just a nice person. Looking forward to start my online training program after I move!

My experience with Austin thus far has been exactly the kick in the butt I need to start prioritizing my strength and overall physical health. He really is the total package from nutrition planning and supplement suggestions, to detailed expert training plans. He provides highly detailed instruction and pushes you to work your hardest without sacrificing safety and form. There’s no better investment than in your health.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very very fair. Most corporate gyms will charge you upwards of $75-$80 dollars a session and lock you into this crazy contract. Not to mention if you end up not liking your trainer or don’t think they are doing a good job, you are usually stuck with them. I currently charge $40 a session which is very affordable. I offer discounts when amounts are paid in full in advance, as well as if you decide to train more than once per week. You also get a FREE membership to my gym which many others can’t offer you.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a free meeting with them to discuss more in depth their goals and fitness history, as well as get to know them and find out certain things to best help them reach their goals. I then usually offer them one free session to “try before they buy” which gives them a chance to see what my gym is like as well as what training with me is like. If they want to continue , then we get them on a schedule and go from there. If they don’t choose to continue with me, I make sure to help layout a plan for them to make some progress on their own. You never leave empty handed with me and you get a lot before you need to hand over any money.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my NASM Certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. It is one of the best training certifications you can have and consists of months of studying and learning with a test at the end needing higher than 80% to pass.
