I have been a client at Driven for over 5 years. First, its not a gym. Its a training facility. A real big deal. Its in a high-rise at 6th & Congress, so its perfect if you live or work downtown. The trainers are experienced, real smart with common sense, with multiple initials after their names because of their advanced degrees and continuing education. (One trainer is a physical therapist.) Each client comes for different reasons, whether to enhance their physical capabilities in a range of competitive sports including golf and tennis or simply to stay in shape. Two years ago I had extensive back surgeries. The recovery process was awful. Six months after the procedures, I was cleared to go back. My trainer, Andy Twellman who owns Driven, did an initial and then on-going assessments, and thanks to his working on my strength and flexibility Im in really great physical shape. There are never more than 4-6 people in the very large and well equipped training area at any one time. Clients cannot be on the floor and using the equipment without with his or her trainer. The area is large, and there is never a need to wait at a training station until client and trainer finish. The place is safe, with the equipment wiped down before and after each practice, with lots of space between client/trainer pairs. I suggest you go in for an assessment and see if its right for you.
I started going to driven just over a year ago, having been to less than a handful of class based workouts. From day one it has been an incredible experience, and very comfortable place to workout given the spectrum of experience at the gym. Going to the gym always starts with a conversation or a “hello”, and always ends with a conversation or a “goodbye”. The trainers there are very hands on and helpful with all of the workouts, and always ask how the body is feeling in order to tweak a workout individually if needed. I can’t begin to explain how much stronger and better I feel since going there. It’s a great group and a great team.
If you are on the hunt for a personal trainer in downtown Austin, this is where the best of the best are. This team is incredible. True practitioners. They give each client hands on attention and a level of detail not found elsewhere. This isn’t some bro gym or your typical “trainer in a box” found at big corporate gyms. These guys are the real deal. Science focused. Individualized. Do yourself a favor and give Andy and his team a try.
I do enjoy to coming to golds gym, the front desk staff are always welcoming with a big smile. Sandra and Kristine are such great people. Always there to help whenever i need anything or to answer my questions. Sandra knows me by my first name, and she is such a sweet person!!
I love Driven! The trainers are wonderful. Theyre there to support and motivate you to do your best. They watch your form and correct you if needed. Theyll encourage you to challenge yourself, but theyre also very respectful of your pace/level. The workouts are a nice combination of strength and cardio, and the routines change every month, so youre never bored. The people are great too. Its a fun and friendly environment. Its also conveniently located for me so I never have an excuse not to go!
Ive been training at Driven for 5 months now and it has been the most successful workout program that Ive ever done. Ive tried every type of fitness class over the years and Drivens unique approach to training has given me better results than I thought were possible through group training.Each trainer is incredibly knowledgeable and makes sure you are performing each move correctly & safely. The gym atmosphere is positive, fun, and challenges you to get better every day. I highly recommend people to give it a try, whether you are new to fitness or looking for a change of pace in your routine!
Great facility with very knowledgeable trainers. I would recommend Driven to any age group. Their training sessions assist you in enhancing your strength, flexibility and range of motion. It is amazing to not be in constant pain after a satisfying workout.
I am there every morning. Driven is a great training facility that caters to any and every one. I highly recommend trying it out soon!
If you are looking for high-energy, large group classes you wont find them here. At least that wasnt the experience I had - I took a 45minute strength class at 5:30pm on a weeknight and there was 1 other person in the class.That said, the equipment is new and the trainers are very pleasant. They dont have a lot of equipment so even with just 2 of us, we were using 1 barbell so had to take weights on/off for each of our turns.Location is convenient - in the basement of the building.Lockers w/built-in locks so you can secure your items. Shower, changing space, etc.Id go back.
Fantastic and knowledgeable staff!! My husband and I have been going to Driven for about over 6 years now. We trust them and they are like family to us!
Fantastic staff; convenient location for downtown offices; great, personal care.
Instructors are great! Had a great experience, will definitely be back!
Professional and qualified staff with targeted training..
