Personal Training Done right

Personal training is the most hands-on coaching experience that money can buy. And yet, other personal trainers are dishing out cookie-cutter programs and delivering lackluster coaching experiences everywhere you look.

At Motive Training ATX, everything we do is completely customized to you, from your exercise programming to the coaching you’ll receive in the gym.

Say goodbye to painful, achy joints. Forget templated programs and exercises that don’t get results.

Say hello to pain-free movement and guaranteed progress.

Changing lives is our mission

Over the last three years, we’ve helped hundreds of clients make sustainable changes to their health and fitness. And we wake up every day with the intent to help people move with purpose from the inside out.

You deserve the best treatment and coaching possible and the results you’ve always hoped to see and feel. So please don’t waste another dollar hiring personal trainers and coaches who don’t take this job as seriously as we do.

Plus, our results speak for themselves, and we’d love to add you to that list!

Expert Personal Training In Austin, TX

Being personal trainers and coaches is a side job for some, but this is our lives. We wake up daily with the mission to impact as many lives as possible with a completely customized, high-level coaching program.

Don’t waste another moment with coaches or trainers that don’t take you or your goals seriously.

Contact us instead. We’re the experts, and we do personal training right.

Seriously. With Motive Training, I feel challenged but never out of my comfort zone. A lot of emphasis is put on performing the movements correctly and ensuring the right muscles are being targeted, and I think that’s why I’m seeing such great results (AND the sudden pains I used to get during workouts are gone!!!). 🙂 read less

I was experiencing pain in my lower back and went into Motive to see if they could help me identify the issue. Brian administered a functional range assessment and I was given solid recommendations on things I could do to remediate the pain on my own. It worked.  Motive didn’t just make my pain go away—they also gave me invaluable insight on how to properly move and take care of my body long-term. I’m now experiencing pain in my shoulder, and there’s nowhere else I’d go to get it looked at. Motive, I’ll see you again soon! read less

As a computer programmer who sits at a desk all day, I didn't realize how much range of motion I lost in my legs, hips, and lower back. I was introduced to Brian through a friend and my life has changed for the better! Brian was able to set me up with a plan tailored around my goals to increase my range of motion. After a few short months I feel like a new man! My range of motion has increased drastically and I never felt less restricted in my movement. Brian has set me up for success in the long run with stretches and workouts that I can continue to do my whole life to continue to increase/maintain this range. I cannot thank him enough!! read less

At that time, I was losing my flexibility as well as having issues completing my lifts.  After some discussions with Brian, I switched to high bar to ease the load off my posterior chain since my program was too taxing.    The end result is that I'm no longer sore and got all my flexibility back.  TLDR: Brian is very knowledgeable about powerlifting / weightlifting / fitness and generously shares his knowledge. read less

Brian was able to pin point all the ways my body is incapable of moving and provided stretches to help with my hip’s inability to internally rotate.

When I had some lower back/hip issues I didn't hesitate to ask him for help. I felt better after the first session. He didn't try to over sell me or tell me I was broken to keep me coming back. He was straight forward, was confident in my abilities to do the homework on my own and because of that I will surely be going back if I feel I need more help. read less

He patiently helped me work through some unique physical issues to help me advance in my fitness journey. Without his guidance, I would been training incorrectly/less optimally.

I had an evaluation with Brian for some shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain in my right arm, and it was honestly the MOST thorough anyone has EVER looked at my arm. And I have had plenty of people evaluate me over the years, but no one has come to close to really trying to locate the issue of my problem like Brian did. He guided me on what was going on with my arm and where I had some mobility issues at. He explained everything in a really easy to understand manner. He also took the time to explain to me how we will address my issues going forward to get me back on track. I look forward to gaining my mobility back and working with him even more in the future!! read less

what we do

GAIN STRENGTH.

The standard approach to exercise looks at things from a "functional" standpoint: can you squat, do push-ups, or deadlift heavy weight? This approach works for some but leaves most people scratching their heads why things don't feel right.

Here at Motive, we focus on the ALL of the joints found in the body and spend time exploring what each joint can do independently.

From there, we can see how well each joint coordinates with the others to create solid, healthy movement. You'll be stronger than you ever thought possible.

move with purpose

Motive Training is a personal training organization that will teach you how to move with purpose, ensuring you have a well-rounded, functional body.

Say goodbye to cookie-cutter programs, hands-off coaching, and inattentive training.

Say hello to a refreshing, 100% customized approach to personal training.
