Kinetic Fit Systems

Sarah Stewart may be the best trainer in Austin. I've been a client of hers for several years, and have achieved continuous fitness improvement. She is an expert in body mechanics, hyper-aware of any injuries or limitations you may have, and always expects the best of you. AND, she's got a terrific attitude! More...

In a sea of would-be 'trainers', Sarah is the real deal.  Her attention to perfection of movement and balance will take you far past just a work-out, to new levels of health and athletic performance.  She is a true fitness resource here in Austin! More...

I have been coming to Sarah's boot camp training sessions for almost a year now. Last fall, I tried out a number of different boot camp-style training groups hoping to maintain my basic fitness level while in graduate school. Although Sarah's class was the more expensive of the classes I tried out, I felt after one session that my time and money were better spent with Sarah - my first boot camp was fun and challenging, and I saw Sarah as a powerful role model. I have never been into morning workouts, but I can honestly say I jump out of bed on Mondays and Wednesdays looking forward to camp. I was just hoping to stay in shape, but I look and feel so much better than a year ago - I have leaned down and have muscle definition I never thought possible. Most importantly, coming to boot camp keeps me motivated to work out on my own the rest of the week. No two classes are the same, and as a result I have a whole new arsenal of dynamic strength and cardio options to keep me busy.  I've never had a personal trainer before, but I have been so impressed with Sarah's dedication and caring towards all of her clients. During classes, she is always watching to correct any bad mechanics, and gets to know everyone's body, offering tailored exercises - even in a group session. She provides nutrition counseling and fitness testing for free, whether you attend boot camp or personal training sessions. She will often offer free Saturday training sessions. She attends conferences and follows all the latest research in health and fitness. I can't recommend Sarah enough - she listens to your goals, and offers the best coaching available to help you achieve them, whether you are an elite athlete or just starting out (I've had both and everything in between in my classes).

Sarah is a phenomenon.  I have been training with her on and off for 10 years.  I know of no other person who understands the very small nuances of body dynamics and human motivation so well so as to achieve the kind of results she has and can.  I have travelled and lived in other cities and have tried other systems and trainers.  There is no comparison.  She is comprehensive, consistent, and will take you farther than you think you are capable of going.  I have been in the best shape of my life working out with her, and have achieved all my personal bests as a runner using her cross training and muscle training to go beyond what my running training alone could do.  One of a kind.

I've been training with Sarah for over two years--both in her group camps and as an individual. No matter what my schedule or what's going on with injuries, etc, she makes it happen for you. She even lets me bring my 5-year-old to the workouts which really helps when you're in a childcare pinch. (I've seen her training new moms and rocking their newborns while still leading the workout!) She really pushes your limit--in a good way but is a form fanatic which is ideal if you're prone to injury like myself.  I'm moderately fit, and I look like I've been hit by a truck after her workouts. Still, I would never go to that level on my own. Not to mention she's totally professional and has a great positive energy that makes you want to show up again and again. And she doesn't train just women. Half her clients, if not more, are men/and or serious athletes. (She completely destroyed my former athlete husband who calls her a "muscle with eyes.")  She'll even create a camp for you and your friends or co-ed ones for co-workers at whatever time works. Like I say, she's committed to making it happen for clients. I've trained with countless people over the years (including some celeb trainers while living in NYC) and Sarah's been the one I've stayed with longest and who's given me the best results. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend some one-on-one sessions or ask her to do a trial camp session. She's really good at assessing what level to place clients and groups accordingly.  Camps are the more affordable option, but I think her one-on-one rates are very competitive. When I moved to Austin, I had a really hard time finding a trainer that was at the level of some of the ones I had in NY,  especially since it's not a regulated industry --but consider it found with Sarah.

I love her 165 hours a week, HATE her 3 hours a week.True Story:  I was having lunch with my friend Andres (owner of Fair Bean Coffee shop) at Whole Foods.  I look over his shoulder and say, "dayyyyuuuummmm... there's a girl over there that could kick BOTH our asses."  He looks over and says, "Sarah... come meet my friend Don."Turns out she's also the trainer for my real estate partner Wendi.  And upon further discussion, I find out that she has won some sort of "Texas Trainer of the Year" award twice.  I'd never had a trainer before but decided to give it a go.  So she trained me last summer for just a few weeks before she got hired at USC (yes THE USC) to be the trainer for their football team.  She's legit good.She moved back to Austin this year and we just started training again.  If you need a trainer (and don't want a sissy who will go easy on you), then go nowhere else but Sarah.  She does one-on-ones and classes/group "boot camp" type things (which cost a lot less).  And she's really a nice person (just not 3 hours a week).And don't judge... I know I'm not in shape but we JUST started training again.  Plus if you hate on me, I'll come kick all y'all's asses once I finish her "Fit Divas" class (yes, that's what it's called and yes, I'm the only dude in there).If you see me, don't call me Don.  I answer to "Sue"=============UPDATE 1/17/08:  A guy that plays in the NFL joined our Fit Divas group so it seems that Sarah feels the need to step it up a notch.  If I don't yelp for a few days, look for me on the south end of Pease Park.  I'll be the one whose "core" has exploded from overuse.I miss queso More...
