Austin Fitness Center

Here we are, 9 months after I reopened my gym/personal training studio following a 16 month shutdown in order to protect my family and my community from Covid, and I am still having to operate my gym solely as my personal training studio without being able to accept new gym members, other than personal training clients.

Why? Limited hours and no staff.

Thanks to everyone who's inquired about memberships, but we're in a different world now than when I ran my gym for the first 13 years. I'll update this FB page when and if things change, but the best place for news will always be the gym's website. WWW. Austinfitnesscenter.com. If you're interested in REAL personal training, please follow the personal training links on the gym's website, or simply visit www. completefitnessdesign com

As most of you know, I have transformed my small neighborhood gym into my personal training studio. For the time being, this is the only way forward. I'm sorry I cannot offer you all a general gym pass these days, but we will see what the future holds. If anyone is interested in personal training, please feel free to reach out to me via the gym's website Austinfitnesscenter. Com or on my personal training website completefitnessdesign.com.

Due to the City of Austin's stage 5 Covid 19 risk guidelines and the too many people still unvaccinated in society, we are not taking on any new gym members right now. Please get your vaccine and let's be free of this virus so we can get back to business!!!

Here's the link to a question I answered from a follower of mine on Quora. "Is night time training more beneficial if you just go to sleep afterwards"?

Since sleep enhances muscle recovery, and muscle recovery process is max immediately after training -- Isn't gym workout best before bed?
