Feedback regarding our personal training & small group programs:

"Nia's not only a great personal trainer, she's an amazing lifestyle coach and source of inspiration. She's completely real, down to earth, and uplifting even during the toughest moments! I met her through a spinning class at the Riata, and immediately I was hooked on her smiling disposition - it was like being on that bike was being invited to an adrenaline-charged party! Training with her individually and with partners has been a life-changing experience that has significantly improved my outlook on life. Most of us know that being healthy and exercising is a lifestyle change, but the way Nia presents it to you makes it less of a trial and more of a challenge! She's taught me to be proud of my strength, and to focus on training to improve my skill, ability, and health - not just my looks and my weight. If you're looking for a trainer that's fun, uplifting, and cheerful without sacrificing the tough, challenging, don't-give-up approach of some of the more aggressive trainers out there, Nia's a Godsend! She's a brilliant trainer, teacher, and friend." ~Melissa J., Austin, TX

"I started working out with Nia a little over 9 months ago. At that time I had not been in an exercise program or worked out on a regular basis for quite some time. My goals were to get healthier, stronger and have a better looking body. It was amazing how Nia structured my program to meet all my goals and give me such incredible results in a short period of time. I went down two sizes in clothes and have lost approximately 20 lbs. Nia is such a great motivator, during workout sessions and between sessions through frequent emails of encouragement. Regardless of how hard it was at times to make it to my workout, I always left feeling so great about myself and what I had accomplished. My friends are amazed at what a difference my experience has made in me. Nia, you are the best!!!!" ~Sue B., Austin, TX

"Personal training with Nia has changed my entire approach to exercise and staying healthy. My first encounter with a personal trainer at a large gym was a waste of money and anything but personal. Despite that experience and years of decent results working-out alone, I had absolutely NO hesitation working with Nia within the first few minutes of meeting her. Her infectiously positive attitude and personal perseverance were exactly what I needed to get the results I wanted. Nia also approaches every client with the up-most expertise and professionalism, so you know you are in good hands. She is incredibly easy and fun to work with, and her non-traditional training program continued to challenge me…plus, it’s fun! I learned about equipment and exercise regimens that really kept me motivated. Nia focuses on proper technique and ways to maximize my work-out periods so I left a session feeling like I gave 110%. Nia also has great advice regarding total body wellness from stretching and relaxation to a healthy eating plan. I noticed the results I wanted after our first 4 weeks together. Not only that, but a year later, I’ve kept those results. The only problem now is that there is no replacement for Nia up in Minneapolis, MN." - Melissa L., Minneapolis, MN

"I would be the first one to admit it's hard to committ to working-out, let alone a set-time or class each week. But for the past 18 months, I've rearranged my schedule, both personally and professionally to make it to Nia's spin class. Nia never forgets a face or name, which truly amazes me with the high number of people she interacts with daily. Most spin instructors believe in yelling and that's their way to motivate. Nia couldn't be further from that stereotype. She has a pleasant and calming personality that motivates you through the entire ride. She will come and talk to you one-on-one in class if you need to tweak your performance or need support. Nia's personal committment to training and respect for your strengths and weaknesses sets her apart from any trainer I know. All I can say is meet Nia, take a class or training session and you will be hooked!" - Meredith C., Austin, TX

"Coach, I DID IT!!! I crossed the finish line at the inaugural Trek Women's Triathlon! Surprisingly, my race time was faster than my previous practice times! Thanks for those highly dynamic, killer workouts that paid off on my BIG day (of course, at the time they occurred, I couldn’t give you thanks for those tough sessions….haha!!)
Due to a previous injury, I wasn’t sure if I would have been able to participate in the tri’. We trained smart and it happened. I truly appreciated your unwavering support, motivation, and encouragement.
THANK YOU for helping me get to the start line! Getting to the finish line was the easy part ;-) I wonder which event I’ll take on next? In the interim, I look forward to working out with you in preparation of the next BIG event! All the best" ~
Sonia G., Austin, TX

"Nia certainly pushed me to my limits. As a trainer, she maximizes every workout, and pays a lot of attention to proper form and technique. The 8-week strength and conditioning program was unbeatable value for money, and the results were undeniable. Nia is a top-quality, very demanding physical trainer, with a lot of discipline and enthusiasm." – Sujatha K., Austin, TX

"Nia - what a great person! I feel so blessed to have been put in her life……and her amazing hands! I had not worked out for some time & had gained more weight than I'd ever had on me before. As soon as I started working out w/ nia, I had a cast put on my left foot, so she was very challenged to find things to do w/ me. To my amazement, every single workout has been incredible & I have yet to be bored w/ any of them. She has an arsonal full of different types of workouts!! Nia knows how to encourage you to get thru the workout, as well as to give it the best you can. Even w/ my foot in a cast, she has built some great muscles in my upper body. I even feel the lower body, as well, even tho we aren't targeting that at this time! I couldn't be happier. Now that I've talked about what a great trainer she is, let me tell you she is also a wonderful person. She has the most beautiful sole & is as kind as they come. I hug nia ever time I finish a workout to thank her for being there for me. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer." - Susan D., Austin, TX

"Working out with Jasen was both fun and demanding. His relaxed manner kept me at ease during every workout. He was also really good about helping me find the right equipment (dumbbells versus barbells etc.), so that I felt comfortable using the equipment, without compromising on the results. He pays a lot of attention to proper form while doing strength training. He also worked with me on nutrition, and charted my progress along the way, with every workout. He really gave me the sense of being part of a team (he and I) working on delivering the results that I was looking for out of my training." – Sujatha K., Austin, TX

"Again, I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for teaching our class at Riata. I definintely learned a lot about Spin, particularly in my seat and handle bar positions, posture, and saw a definite improvement in my stamina. I really liked during certain classes where we did the long rides. I appreciated it because you went above and beyond the normal 45 minute ride to show us that we can do these long rides as equivalent to what professional riders endure. You made the class fun by mixing up the routines, and always brought a positive attitude which motivated me to keep coming back, and gave me a lot of good mental focus I never knew I had. Because of you, I never saw Spin as a cardio workout routine, but a fun way to stay in shape. " ~ Sean R., Austin, TX


Feedback Regarding our online programs:

"Nia at ATX Fitness Underground is an amazing resource for purchasing electronic work-out programs.  The time and care she puts into her programs really make you feel like you still have your personal trainer right by your side.  The formatting makes for easy printing and toting to the gym or track.  The programs are in a professional, easy to follow layout, and I often get asked where they can be downloaded.  Nia takes into account my available equipment, skill level and goals, and creates a session that challenges me but can still be done on my own.  She includes tips and pointers that sometimes feel like she is right there next to me, making sure my form is good and I’m pushing myself.  The variety is amazing and it never feels like a program gets old.  I thought after I moved and went back to a tradition gym, I would not be able to utilize the skills and programs I learned from Nia, but she knows how to transform a traditional gym or track into a regular boot camp and make it fun!  I’m still maintaining my results from her work-outs and pushing myself further each time I go through a program.  I can’t fail to mention the reasonable prices.  Considering the program content and my results, I haven't needed to pay extra for additional services at my gym.  In fact, if I don't want to go to the gym, the variety of programs allow me to complete them at a park or in my living room." - Melissa L., Minneapolis, MN
