I started coming to Big Tex Gym in March of this year. I began personal training under the owner Steve Smith and he has helped me become leaner, stronger, and more confident in ways I didn't think were possible. I lost 50 lbs in about 5 months, while at the same time my bench, squat, deadlift, and OH press all skyrocketed up! I was always the fat kid growing up, very quiet shy and introverted. Training at Big Tex Gym has helped come out of my shell and is exactly what I needed to take control of my life. I set goals for myself, and Steve's constant support, encouragement, and belief in me helped me to realize that I can meet and exceed these goals and my own expectations for myself. Now I am looking forward to competing in at least two powerlifting competitions in 2013 (one of them will be run by Big Tex Gym), I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life, and I have more confidence and self-esteem than I ever thought possible.
If you have any interest in the following, Big Tex Gym is THE place to be in Austin: Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Strongman training, setting and meeting goals for yourself, increasing self-confidence, losing weight, becoming stronger, improving your quality of life, or just getting off the couch and finding a great group of men and women to train with. This is NOT your standard chain gym!! There are machines to work every part of your body but being a hardcore gym, the emphasis is definitely on free weights and serious strength training. There is a large football sized area behind the gym for flipping tractor tires (or whacking em with the sledgehammers), pushing a Prowler, carrying Farmers Walks logs, pushing a truck (my favorite) and anything else you can think of to do. New machines and Strongman equipment have been coming in over the past several weeks. We also have members who compete regularly and often in Strongman, Bodybuilding, and Powerlifting who are happy to help with any questions you might have. Membership is cheap, too. There is also a cooking grill out back available for use by members. This place is perfect for everyone, men and women, all the way from first time beginners to elite competitors. Ask for Steve or Amin, they are both very approachable, have a very positive attitude, and WANT to help you to succeed and meet your goals. Come on by Big Tex Gym for a free workout and free Personal Training session, it just might be the first step toward a happier, healthier, more confident, and sexier you!
