An excellent experience training with Miriam at Heavy Mettle. Having access to a personal trainer in North Austin, who prepares a personalized series of exercises designed to strengthen and also work around the personal injuries I have, is the reason I love this gym. Strongly recommended.

Been an awesome experience training here for the past four months. When I was looking for personal training in Austin, I wanted to make sure it felt right. Met Matt first for a consultation and after getting to know me and my goals he set me up with Erin for my personal sessions. With both of them on my team we’ve been getting the work done to meet my health goals on every week!

I’ve been training here for about half a year, and it’s been a great experience. I’ve been able to experience three different trainers here, and everyone is knowledgeable and provided great sessions. The owner is hands-on in your progression plan and always available to provide additional support. The gym is always clean and never overcrowded which is very important to me! I highly recommend this gym and its trainers.

I came across Heavy Mettle Fitness in a search for a north Austin personal trainer, and this place did not disappoint. Matt made sure that he thoroughly understood my strength goals before matching me with my trainer, Miriam. She’s great - I appreciate her thoughtful training plan, and I can feel myself getting stronger every week.
The gym is small yet very well equipped. The atmosphere is welcoming and non-judgmental. The training is skilled and professional. All in all, an outstanding experience.

I am so happy I found Heavy Mettle Fitness and my trainer, Erin. This boutique gym offers the private, focused environment I was looking for to become more comfortable with lifting weights and getting back into a fitness routine. Matt, and the team he has built here, are so encouraging. It makes working out fun again. The accountability and the progressive challenges are exactly what I needed. I’ve been going now for 3 months and can’t recommend Heavy Mettle Fitness enough to anyone looking for a personal trainer near The Domain.

I absolutely love this gym! It’s smaller and more personal than a typical big gym, which makes such a huge difference. The trainers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and actually take the time to understand your goals and make sure you’re doing everything correctly. I never feel intimidated or lost during my workouts, and I’ve already noticed a difference in my strength and confidence. If you’re looking for personal training where you actually feel supported and cared about, I highly recommend this place!

I started working out with Heavy Mettle Fitness, a personal trainer in North Austin, a couple of months ago and have had a really good experience. I have several injuries and health concerns that historically kept me from working out, but I am feeling empowered and more confident after training there and via the tailored workouts. For my personal situation, building strength is a marathon and not a sprint, and I am setting a good foundation for progress at Heavy Mettle Fitness.
