Fuel n' Burn Fitness

Coach Michael here reviewing Coach Alyssa after a rigorous 5 month prep and training at Big Tex Gym. Seeing Alyssa already had a strong fitness foundation to begin with, after she expressed interest in becoming a personal trainer, I decided to push her to be all in and become a coach instead. Not only telling people what exercise to do and watch them doing it, but actually both explaining and demonstrating the exercises, talking about the mechanics of the exercises, giving insight into why the next exercise is being performed in a particular way and why it is aligning with each client's specific goals. Also focusing on lifestyle habits, nutrition, mental state and affairs, and truly giving the whole experience to each client. If you're looking for someone to hang out with and have fun while paying them, Alyssa will not be your Coach. While there will be great conversations and overall fun experiences during training, she is there to make a positive difference in your health and wellness. I am extremely happy with her dedication and focus during her training. The questions she asked while shadowing were spot on and thoughtful. Her method of structuring her training was well executed. Even at the end when she ran whole sessions by herself while Lead Coach shadowed exemplified how far she has developed in her coaching skills. The time and effort she has put into herself and coaching is already paying off as her newly found clients are already reaping the rewards! Ladies, you're ready to make a change and Alyssa will get you there at Big Tex Gym. You won't regret it!

Training with Alyssa is like having a spotter, coach, and hype squad all in one. She knows her lifts inside and out—whether it’s dialing in squat depth, cleaning up deadlift form, or pushing for that next PR, she’s on it. What I love most is that she doesn’t just chase numbers; she builds you up with smart programming, technical cues that actually click, and the kind of energy that makes you want to rip the bar off the floor. She pushes heavy, but never reckless—always making sure technique comes first so strength actually sticks. Every session feels like progress, whether it’s hitting a new max or nailing the small details that add pounds to the bar later. If you’re serious about moving weight and want a coach who lives and breathes strength training, Alyssa is the one you want in your corner.

I have had the pleasure of working out with Alyssa and I can tell you, she is an amazing coach. She is very inspiring and helped me reach levels that I thought I would never reach. She pushes you to reach your full potential and when you walk out of the gym, you feel like you have accomplished more than just getting a great workout. She is truly inspiring and brings your best self out. She is an amazing person and a phenomenal coach!

Michael is an phenomenal trainer with a proven track record and great attention to detail with training and nutrition. The system hybrid classes have been really great for establishing consistency and accountability.

Working with Michael has been life-changing! He helped me lose weight, gain muscle, and finally get control of my diet. His workouts are effective, his nutrition advice is realistic, and he truly cares about results. Helps me a lot to reframe my beliefs and pushing my limits all the time. If you’re looking for the best personal trainer in Austin, I highly recommend him!
