via Google This gym is very clean and I love the padded floor for my achey knees. Nate is super knowledgeable on issues most personal trainers I've worked with know nothing about. As a person who was an elite athlete in my 20's and 30's, and just surviving with chronic pain and fatigue for over 20 years now, I totally trust Nate to help me get back to thriving. He gave me 3 exercises in my first session and after just one week, I'm feeling less pain. If you are over 40 and struggling with pain to get in shape, run (or hobble as fast as you can) to Stowe Personal Training.

Barbara Francisvia Google During COVID I started going to Stowe Training Systems and absolutely love it. I do feel at least 10 years younger and stronger (which is my goal). Nate is a great trainer. He provides challenging exercises and makes sure I have the correct posture and don't end up pulling a muscle. He sends out daily motivational emails which are very appreciated. I enjoy my training sessions at Stowe and highly recommend Nate.

Allison Huvia Google I’ve been working with Nate as my personal trainer in Austin for the past year and a half, and he has helped me completely eliminated my lower back pain following pregnancy. I can’t recommend him enough. From day one, Nate took the time to thoroughly assess my specific needs and limitations, and he built a thoughtful, customized plan that met me where I was—physically and mentally.
What sets Nate apart is how intentional and personalized his approach is. Every workout is carefully programmed, and he provides clear instructions along with demonstration videos so I feel confident and safe performing each movement. He strikes a perfect balance between challenging me and ensuring proper form, which has helped me build strength without aggravating old injuries.
Beyond his technical knowledge, Nate is a supportive, patient, and motivating coach. Thanks to his guidance, I feel stronger, more mobile, and more empowered in my body than I have in years. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who truly listens, tailors the experience to your goals, and genuinely cares—Nate is the one for you!

Joanie Mercervia Google I having had personal fitness training many times with many Trainers over the years. I have trained in Houston, Denver, San Francisco, I am 77 years old and you can trust me when I say Nate Stowe and Stowe Personal Training in Austin, TX is the BEST there is! Although I am in my late seventies, I feel better than I did in my 40's. Nate designs a personal program for each person. I am never bored, challenged the right amount and always have fun. I am strong and haven't been sick in years. I am in my 8th year of knowing Nate. He is a fair and honest coach. I am grateful to be a client of his.

lavanna martinvia Google I have been active my entire adult life. At the age of 68, I completely ruptured my ACL. I went the non-surgical route, and rehabbed with Pilates. 2 years into doing exclusively Pilates, I made myself admit that I needed actual strength training through weight-lifting. I hated weight-lifting - everything about it. The activity, the music, the culture, etc. I did an online search and saw the google entry, "Weight Training for 55+. I had previously dabbled with weights with a trainer that I did not feel safe with - I knew that I was going to get hurt. At 71, I need to be careful with who I train with. I found Nate ("The Great"). I will just give you a summary of what to expect:
Free one hour assessment. It's not what you think. He is not trying to sell you during this hour - he will actually take you through a series of movements to assess your skills/abilities.
You choose 2-3 days to work out with Nate, from the hours of 7-11. These are scheduled in one hour blocks. Group class size is limited to 4. You will get his full attention.
He will take you through a very incremental, systematic method that he has developed after working and studying in this field for 20 years.
The work is challenging but doable. I have been with Nate for 6 months, and have never been hurt. He doesn't do dumb things.
You will learn that conditioning/recovery exercises are just as important as weight-training. Nate will explain as much to you as you need or want. He pretty much knows everything.
When I joined, I told Nate that I hated weight-lifting and would never love it. That has changed. I'm having so much fun. And, the music is great, and the people are the best -a very welcoming group.
Oh, and bonus - if you are a lady. Those bat-wings that you can't get rid of?! Please see pic of my arm below. Nate is "Nate the Great".
