Congratulations to #pureres winner Patty!!!


Congratulations Patty!! Great job on following through with your resolutions - it totally shows! We love your positive energy! Here's Patty's story:

I’ve been a member at Pure Austin for several years, but a work assignment in Russia last fall interrupted my routine. As soon as I returned, I couldn’t wait to get back to Pure! I genuinely look forward to each visit here. I love the variety of the classes and equipment, the jogging trail, the skilled and enthusiastic instructors – there is always something fun to try. The Town Lake location is close to my home and Quarry Lake is close to my office, so it's very easy for me to fit in a morning, lunchtime or evening workout nearly every day. I am not particularly athletic, but I never feel out of place here. I especially enjoy the Pump Raw and Triple X classes; they are a great balance to my running workouts. I perform in local theater and for the past few months, I’ve been training to build stamina for my role in a musical production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” in Georgetown. Added bonus: I can wear the “revealing” costumes with confidence. Thank you, Pure Austin!

Meet our members! Henry Harless!


A native Austinite, Henry has been beaming his happy smile around Pure Austin since 2003! Henry comes into Pure Austin to do creative leg workouts that enhance his admirable running speed, and keep him injury free! And he really likes to toss the medicine balls around, to strengthen his core. If you ever see him messing around the gym, you should definitely pick his brain for a new exercise or just flat out copy his moves :)! Henry has his own Austin-flavored real estate business, and he does business just like he does his workouts - with attention to detail and a focus on moving things fast!

Our friendly Pure Austin community is what keeps us motivated to pursue our goals inside and outside of the gym. We all love to know more about our members. Shoot us a line so we can feature you, too!

Another reason why Urban Adventure Camp with Chelsea rules!

Just got this testimonial in!

Urban Adventure Bootcamp rules!

Late in 2008, I found out I was BRCA Positive. That is the technical term for having the "breast & ovarian cancer gene." In the first 3 months of 2009, I had a hysterectomy and complete mastectomy and reconstruction. After those surgeries, I had lost a lot of strength as well as confidence that I could get it back. I kept exercising, but never dreamed that I could keep up in a fitness class or much less a bootcamp! I started attending Chelsea's Cardio Core and Pure Pump classes, then found the confidence to sign up for Urban Adventure Bootcamp. Before those, I could not jump. No, seriously...I didn't have the strength to jump up onto a bench, nor did I think I could do it! I could not hold a plank for more than 30 seconds at a time, and I never thought I could bearcrawl up a hill! Now I can do all of those things and more, and I am stronger than ever. Chelsea's approach is "What can your body do?," and she has helped me reach far beyond what I thought mine could. I am stronger, leaner and more confident in just 4 weeks, and I have signed up for two adventure races already!
