Posted on StephenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin has been an absolutely amazing personal trainer. From day one, he’s been incredibly motivating and fully invested in my success. His attention to detail is unmatched — no stone is left unturned when it comes to form, programming, and making sure every workout has purpose. What really sets Austin apart is how much he genuinely cares. You can tell he’s not just focused on the physical results, but on you as a person. He pays attention, listens, and truly wants to see you progress in every way. I’m so grateful for his guidance, encouragement, and dedication. Thank you for everything, Austin!Posted on Kat TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with Bearded Ax for about four months now, and the difference I feel is incredible. Austin is extremely knowledgeable about both weight training and nutrition, and he explains things in a very constructive and considerate way. Every session is purposeful and tailored to me. On top of that, he’s genuinely a nice guy—encouraging, patient, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!Posted on Nils ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin (owner/trainer) is awesome, and I'm getting great results. He balances the understanding and flexibility of life while pushing the right amount to get clients to their goals. Highly recommend if you are thinking about personal training!Posted on Kevin DonaldsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin is a fantastic fitness coach. He paid great attention to the struggles I had with losing weight, and he created a fitness and nutrition plan to reach my goal to lose weight. During our weekly check-ins he not only looked at the metrics of how I was progressing in the fitness program, he was also invested in how I was mentally and keeping me confident. When there were wins he celebrated with me. When there were struggles, he leaned in on what was difficult for me and helped motivate me to push forward. In the end of the program, I achieved my weight loss goal, transformed my lifestyle into one that is sustainable, healthy, and motivating to help keep my weight off. I highly recommend reaching out to Austin and discussing any thoughts of having him help with wherever you are in your health. TL;DR: Hire this guy for your fitness goals.Posted on JLDxDC 0809Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don't even know where to start with all the positive feedback I have for BAMF and how it has helped me. I'll first say I have a doctorate that deals with fitness, rehab and nutrition. This was not my first rodeo with a coach. I've done some programs on my own which was a great start, and when I got serious about some goals I hired an IFBB coach for several months. I didn't feel that coach cared to invest in me or my progress. I over trained, spending 3-4 hours in the gym 5-6 days per week. I stayed on top of my nutrition. Communication wasn't great, and I stuck with it for awhile thinking "_______ must be super busy because he/she is a pro!" Fast forward and I start working with Austin. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. Not only was the price right, but the communication and education went beyond my expectations. I have a crazy travel schedule and he always helped address any concerns, explained modifications when I was worried about injuries, and helped me develop a better mindset with giving myself grace on vacations or cheat days. I put in 1/4 of the work with Austin than that was required of me with my previous trainer, and I feel I produced 3x better progression in just the first month. I was seriously hitting personal bests EVERY week. 3 months later, I have a sustainable exercise regimen and diet, I have seen/felt changes in my physique, and most importantly I feel I've been able to buy back time in my busy life and health span. This is top quality coaching. Thank you for everything!Posted on Rochelle WittyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin at Bearded Ax Muscle & Fitness is very supportive, knowledgeable, understanding, and really strives to make a great plan tailored to individual needs. I just completed a 60 day online plan with him. The app is extremely useful for everything you need. It’s a one stop shop for tracking meals, workouts, body stats and more! Weekly communication directly with Austin helps you to stay on track and really helps to see how you’re progressing. Give him a go, it’s worth it!
