Grassroots Fitness is a fantastic place to create or reset great nutrition and exercise habits, as well as achieve real transformational change from head to toe. I’m about to turn 50, and I feel younger and stronger than I have in many years thanks to Nate, his amazing program, and the supportive community that has been cultivated there! Less

Tailored coaching in a community environment defines Grassroots Fitness. No shortcuts, yet modifications based on your ability; Coach Nate has multiple ways to get to the outcome you desire. Do the work and the results are guaranteed!! Less

If you’re on the fence, this is your sign to go for it! Grassroots Fitness is such an empowering environment. It’s been amazing to see how much my body can do! It’s worth every penny to feel this good. As someone who is injury prone and tends to feel anxious in the gym, it’s been so nice to feel safe physically and emotionally while working out. The Grassroots program is well rounded, thoughtful, with personalized nutrition, effective workouts, encouragement and check ins. Nate really empowers you to get everything out of this program that you put in. If you’re looking to build skills AND muscle, try GR. You’re worth investing the time, energy, and money in. You might be like me, and be surprised by how much you can do!!! Less

Nate is an amazing trainer and person in general. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and has assembled a top notch gym to meet any fitness goal. My goal was to rehab a torn calf and build lower body strength to ensure injuries like it didn't happen in the future. So far so good! If you are serious about making a change to obtain serious results and are ready to WORK to get them. This gym is a great choice. Less

This place rocks. I’ve been hitting goals I haven’t been able to hit on my own and it’s all because of the support the team offers. The semi-private classes never feel impersonal. There is genuine 1 on 1 support to hold me accountable and help me achieve my goals! Less

I have a few injuries from past bodybuilding and Mike helped me improve my form to prevent future injuries. The progressive concept is the real deal here and it keeps things safe and effective. Highly recommended! Less

I’ve been going to FGC for several months now and it’s just become part of my week. I look forward to working out rather than dreading it. Mike really works with you to help you be your best. There’s a strong emphasis on form and prevention of injuries. There’s great respect and camaraderie. Working out at FGC is the best part of my week! Less

I am loving Fit Goal Culture! I've been a member for about 8 weeks now and loving the results so far. The deliberate and focused strength training is exactly what I was looking for, and the added support with nutrition and coaching is amazing. Being able to get a body scan every few weeks helps me understand my progress. I appreciate the process! Less

FGC is truly a gem. As a new mom wanting to bounce back and just be in better shape, I was struggling. My Peleton classes weren't cutting it and I had no accountability after a long day to show up. I thought I was eating healthy, but knew I could improve. I was searching everywhere for strength training/nutrition and came across FGC and SO glad I did! Nate spent a lot of time with me the initial consult. Mike, the trainer is absolutely incredible. He is so patient with me and helping me improve my form. He is encouraging and always makes working out fun, enjoyable, and something I look forward to. I've also learned a ton about nutrition that is making a difference. I am always refreshed, mentally and physically when I walk out of FGC. I have been there 1.5 months and already am seeing great improvement! I have to also mention that everyone training there is so great and encouraging. FGC is not a culture I want to leave and I am blessed I found it! Less

Mike and Nate at FCG are the real deal! Their knowledge, their judgement-free ability to provide feedback not just with exercise, but with nutrition too is unparalleled! As a physical therapist myself, I’m really picky and I already knew the benefits of lifting, exercise form and nutrition, but my focus on these items had waned. I realized that I needed a professional to help guide me. FGC is also great at modifying exercises to ensure safety, and work around the various limitations of old injuries. With accountability, consistency, and the guidance of FGC, I am on my way towards my goals - feeling leaner, stronger and confident that I *will* reach my goals. Less

By far the most hands on environment, they have shown me their willingness to not only be a guide but a motivating and supporting hand that I've been needing. So glad I began this journey and I know they are the team I needed. Less

Coach Nate, Coach Mike, and the fit goal culture community are simply awesome! Every time I enter the gym, I feel so welcomed :) Since starting here, I have never felt judged or insecure when working out! Such a great community of people of all different fitness levels, all striving to make ourselves better than the day before. ❤ It had been years since I have worked out consistently but the coaches do a great job at gradually increasing the difficulty when they see me cruising 😝 and decreasing it when needed. 🙏 Due to their knowledge/background, I feel more confident with exercises I was always hesitant to try due to chronic injuries. They provide great verbal and visual cues to improve my form for optimal safety. I highly recommend this gym if you are looking for trainers that listen to you, are knowledgeable, fun, and provide accountability! Looking forward to spending 2023 with this community! Less

Signing up for Fit Goal Culture is the best decision I've ever made. Coach Nate and Coach Mike are the real deal, very knowledgeable, and make sure my work outs are tailored to my needs/previous injuries. I've never felt better in my life. Trusting Fit Goal Culture is the best investment you can make for your health; you will not regret it! Less

I’ve been training with Nate for a couple months and the positive difference in how I feel and carry myself from day one to today is incredible. The atmosphere of the gym is very supportive, classes are small enough to not feel intimidated but also have the shared camaraderie of going through a tough workout with others. The biggest thing I was seeking in a trainer and gym was slowing down and focusing on getting the form right. He is always there to make minor corrections and will tailor exercises to meet each person’s individual level. I highly recommend this gym and coach Nate if you are looking to gain confidence and strength! Less

I have been trying and failing to get fit on my own by watching YouTube videos and going to the gym whenever I could for years. I never saw real progress. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes because I just let myself go eating tons of junk food and all kinds of sugary sodas. This was the kick to the butt I needed to get a hold of myself. I couldn't keep on with that lifestyle as diabetes is prevalent in my family. At first I was intimidated to get a trainer but I knew that I could not do it alone. It's so easy to give in to pizza. Joining Fit Goal Culture has been the best health decision I have made. Nate has worked with me on a meal and exercise plan to fit my schedule. He is a very understanding, encouraging and meticulous trainer. After 3 months of training my numbers especially my A1C are back to normal and I will strive to keep it that way. I'm not where I want to be on my physique yet but I can see progress and I know Nate can help me get there! Less

I just finished my first month with Nate and am about to begin my second. Nate’s friendly and knowledgeable and good at checking in with you to help keep you accountable. I was nervous the first time I went to a class because I hadn’t been to a gym in several years, but the group classes are very small, so they are not intimidating or overwhelming at all and everyone is great. In the past month, I’ve felt better and happier than I have in a while. I can’t recommend Nate and FGC enough. Less

Great Trainer. Been working out with him past 3 months or so. Very knowledgeable and has great workout plans to work with past injuries. I’d recommend him to all my friends and family. Less

I’ve been on a journey the last several years to find a place that emphasizes nutrition and strength training the right way. I’m starting my 3rd month with FGC and have found it. Nate is knowledgeable, experienced, cares about technique, and seems to meet each of us where we are on the path. Less

Nate is a great trainer, very knowledgeable and personable. Love the small classes and personal attention he gives us. His programming methods are fantastic and I am really enjoying getting stronger with each session. Less

Nate is the real deal! In just a month of working with Nate, I feel stronger and have more energy, and I eat better and get more sleep so I can lift better. Nate pays close attention to my form and progress yet challenges me at the same time. He is always available to answer questions and ensures you stay accountable to yourself. He has loads of knowledge that he shares with you, is fun to work with, and gives you focused attention so you get better and stronger one training session at a time! Less

One of the best decisions I’ve made to choose FGC to achieve my goals! Hands down to the trainer, Nate, who is exceptional! The workouts here are fun, the fellow members are inspiring, the workouts are led by Nate who give hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement. The atmosphere is awesome. I can’t wait to achieve my goal here! I would highly recommend FGC for the rightly motivated who wants personnel/semi personnel trainer for life changing gym experience! Less

If you have struggled in the past and found yourself in a gym, alone, trying to figure out if you're doing the right things the right way as I have, it was a worthwhile investment in myself to sign up with Nate. He is fair, and dedicated to your success. If your at the point in your life where you want to make a positive change for yourself. This is the place for you. Less

Coach Nate has a comprehensive approach to fitness for any type of goal. Weight loss, strength training, competition prep. I’ve been extremely impressed with his program, responsiveness, and the gym culture. I was nervous to get started, but I’ve been loving it and have had great results. I cannot recommend highly enough! Less

Strength training tailored to each individual in a small group, non-intimidating setting! Nate is a great coach providing detailed instruction, watching out for our form and an encourager!! I highly recommend Fit Goal Culture Less

As someone needing to put on weight, I tried a bunch of different things before looking for strength training classes, and that's how I stumbled on Fit Goal Culture. Just moments after turning in the form I got a call from Coach Nate, who listened to my needs, explained what he does, and was even able to get me started the same week. I was impatient to start training and this was a huge support. A month into training not only am I seeing results both visibly and on the scale, but I've come to enjoy the process, and see these results as just a consequence. Nate has created an environment that's both laid-back and positively charged all at once, and he effortlessly shifts between coaching and letting you be to focus and bring awareness to the muscles you're working on. I can't wait for my next session Less

Nate is a fantastic coach. You have to trust the system. You will get disappointed that you are not losing weight! But you have to trust the process. This is not a magic pill and it will require your trust and work. But you will see results. This is a long term solution. But it works, even if like in my case had some injuries. Less

I started training with Nate 6 weeks ago. I had never done weights before and I was afraid this was not going to work out. I am know trilled on how stronger I feel and how I have evolved! He is always around guiding through the training sesión and caring about each participant workout. He will always find a way to make you feel the progress and how to make all the training doable. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking somewhere to train! Thank you Nate! Less

When I turned 49, I realized I couldn’t put off good health any longer. I signed up with Nate and lost six pounds in the first four weeks, and my body fat percentage went down two points in that same time. Before I signed up, I thought that accountability was the main benefit of having a personal trainer, so I didn’t anticipate the depth of knowledge and experience Nate would contribute to my self improvement. He assessed my level of fitness and formed a strategy to make me stronger and healthier with better habits and targeted workouts that I never would have known to do on my own, even with internet research. And now, at age 49, I can honestly say I am in the best shape of my life. Less

Nate, owner of Fit Goal Culture, is a very knowledgeable trainer. He has helped me with my health issues for the last five months and I have not only gained strength and balance but confidence in myself. He is incredibly patient with me when I can't maneuver a move and finds a quick alternative. I look forward to my future session and where it brings me. Less

I honestly didn’t think I could improve my health as quickly as I have while working with Nate. I can confidently say it’s much easier to stay motivated and consistent with a fitness plan knowing that you have a trainer who is genuinely rooting for you and clearly has a passion for what he does. Less

Nate’s been an amazing coach since day one. He’s consistently encouraging and it’s due to his positivity that I’ve been able to push myself further than I had thought possible. He understands that life happens and has been graciously flexible while holding me accountable. Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of meeting through this experience have become my favorite cheerleads and I’m so happy to be a part of this community. Less

I've been training with Nate for going on two months now. He's a great trainer with a wealth of knowledge on fitness and nutrition, but my favorite part is how judgement free his training environment is, you're always made comfortable and asking questions is encouraged. If you're looking to establish a maintainable change in your health, Nate is the man you want on your team. Less

Nate is an INCREDIBLE coach, I worked with him for a month and I have never felt healthier and more confident in myself! He encourages with such positive energy and shows you truly how strong you are, even in a month I got to see wild results and I couldn’t give anyone else such a strong review! If you are looking for the push to go sign up for his training, this is it!! Less

In a sea of boot camp style services out there, Fit Goal Culture stands out and shines above the rest with actual *quality* strength and movement training. Coach Nate is the realest of the realest: he’s insightful, attentive and in a calm and confident manner, will help you push through your comfort zone and reach your goals in the most efficient manner. In my first 21 days working with him, I have seen more results than I have seen in my last two years trying to exercise and eat right on my own! I had felt so defeated in the past, thinking I was just made to survive winters (lol) so I am BEYOND grateful to have found Fit Goal Culture and I am happy to say I am officially addicted to trusting the process! Do yourself a favor and try this place out ;) Less

I have been working with Nate for about a month and I am feeling amazing. I have tried for years to work out on my own but was always overwhelmed by big gyms, the weight lifting section, and not knowing what I was doing or why I was doing it. Nate's small group workouts provide both the community and personal training aspects that I was looking for. Less

I saw Nate's 21 day challenge that began between Thanksgiving and Christmas and something about his program spoke to me. I immediately set up an appointment the day after Thanksgiving and by Monday I was getting started. After the challenge ended, there was not a doubt in my mind that I was sticking with my new coach! I am on my second month now and our small group workouts are always challenging. Nate has been very supportive in working with me through the minor physical issues I have had and is always an encouragement. I would recommend him as a trainer to anyone who wants results - not the overnight kind, but those who want to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. It is a continuous process. Less

Nate is a fantastic trainer. I have been working with him for about 2 months and have been impressed with the changes that I’ve seen in such a short time. He listened to what my goals were and has personalized our sessions accordingly. From personal experience and seeing other people that he has trained, he works with all shapes, sizes and skill levels. He makes you feel comfortable with where you are but is encourages you to strive for your goals. Less

Nate is absolutely the best fitness coach that you can work with in the Austin area. He guides you with no need for previous workout experience to focus on what matters most, while keeping you safe and injury free. His group sessions have become a core part of a week and have definitely managed to hit, and exceed, our fitness goals. Less

Nate w/ Fit Goal Culture in Leander, TX has been hands down the best choice / decision for my husband and myself. We are members of a gym and have been for some time. We decided to sign up with Nate and in several weeks, we have seen more results than going to the gym on our own. Personally, for me…going to the gym makes me feel overwhelmed and not sure what exactly to do, so I’m glad I found Nate. He is friendly, makes you feel comfortable and knows exactly what to do to get you to your fitness goal. He knows how to push you to your limit and when you leave your workout session, you walk out realizing you can do more than what you thought you could. FGC has that personal training feel, I highly recommend it! Less

Life changing, worth every penny, zero regrets! I started working out at Fit Goal Culture 2 months ago. I joined on my friend's recommendation.  My friends were not "workout people" but they were actually consistently working out for the first time in all the years I had known them.  They looked great and seemed to be really happy with their progress.  I have always been fitness minded - going from marathon running to mountain biking to martial arts, but at this point in my life, September 2021 - I was in a rut. I was very busy with many aspects of my life but my fitness had fallen off.  I was getting depressed because of a lack of movement.  My friend suggested I do the 21 day challenge that the trainer - Nate, offered in the month of October.  What ensued was a return to my self confidence and realization that my physical wellness was not lost to the realities of middle age, but that I was very close to pique fitness if only I could put in a little effort.  Nate's workouts are organized, concise and focused on building strength, skill and flexibility.  I always wanted to take weight training to another level but I was not sure how.  I only train with Nate 3 hours of my week but my body is showing major changes and I am so excited to see how far I can go.  Before I started I was already resigned to the fact that pushups and pullups were a thing of my youth, but I'm now doing pullups and pike pushups in less than two months. I look better, I feel better, and I am really happy to have established a workout habit that fits within my busy schedule...with Nate's guidance I know I can continue to push the limit with real free weights and not injure myself. If you find yourself in a rut, Fit Goal Culture will provide you with what you need to see what you are capable of. Less

I had several personal trainers a couple of years ago, I quit for about 3 years. When I started with Nate last month, I knew I made the right choice. He is one of the best personal trainers that I have ever had before. Nate is very professional and knowledgeable. His training is very helpful for me to restore my health. Less

After being in physical therapy for shoulder and knee issues, I realized it was time to also focus on my whole-body, especially building overall strength. I asked my physical therapist if she could refer me to someone, as I was picky given my past joint issues and the fact I had never done any weight training ever - I didn’t want to end up with someone who didn’t understand my concerns which might then cause further joint pain or injury. Thankfully, she had met Nate before and was familiar with his vast experience and methodology. As soon as I met him at my fist consult, I knew I could trust him, and he’s the best coach/physical trainer I could’ve ever hoped for. After a few short months I’m able to lift weights I never thought I would ever be able to, and I feel stronger and better every week. He listens to each person’s individual needs, modifies and motivates while keeping the workouts interesting and fun. I’m so happy I found the best coach/trainer ever! Less

Nate is very patient and knowledgeable. I have been looking for a trainer that will keep me on track & motivated and Thank God I found him. Amazing trainer & great results! Less

Nate is awesome. I have worked with other trainers and he is so much more instructive on proper form and the right way to do things. He is professional and very friendly. I have been training with him for about 1 1/2 years and have seen a very mark improvement in my strength and stamina. I highly recommend Nate, you will not be disappointed. Less

Nathan's super patient and very knowledgeable, helping me learn to properly lift weights, and work around my past injuries to reach my goal for Ironman training! Less

Nate has been training my teenage son and his friends for nearly 2 years. My son looks forward to his sessions every week and Nate has managed to pique his interest in eating healthy and overall health and wellness! Nate is skilled at relating to teens, but is also great at creating a workout that targets both of us when my teen is so inclined to let me join one of his sessions! Nate has a wealth of knowledge to share! Less

Nate has been my son’s trainer for going on two years. What an incredible experience as a mother to watch my child develop a real practice of physical self care - at 15! Nate motivates him in ways that I, his father, and other adults have not been able to. I rely on Nate for advice in regards to nutrition, sleep, supplements, and appropriate expectations for my son’s age and progress. He is a wealth of knowledge, besides being flexible and fun. My son has a huge respect and admiration for Nate. So do I. Rachel Less

I met Coach Nate when the COVID-19 mess started happening about a year ago. I have been working out for the past 9 years and have never hired a coach before until I hired Coach Nate. Coach Nate's knowledge, expertise, and compassion towards not only fitness but the people he coaches is exceptional. If you are looking for a coach, Coach Nate is your guy! Less

Nate is knowledgeable and passionate about Fit Goal Culture. He is constantly motivational; the type of coach that tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, but he's never too busy to educate and discuss whatever is on your mind. He will push you to move from working out to training by helping you develop specific and achievable goals and continue to work with you on your underlying systems and habits of nutrition and training so that you continually progress toward your goals. You will be blessed to know Nate and have him in your life! Less

So happy to be working with Nate! His knowledge of fitness and nutrition is top notch, and he's such a nice and fun person to work with. He and I have been working together for a few months doing virtual personal training, and I couldn't be happier! We're working on problem areas I didn't even know I had and working on my personal goals through the custom workouts he designs, and I'm loving that I am getting stronger and feeling better. Nate is also extremely responsive and helpful if I ever have a question or am struggling. I can't recommend Nate highly enough! Less

I started training with Nate virtually when COVID-19 shut my gym down. I’ve always worked out on my own so had a basic idea of what I like to do, but Nate designs personalized workouts, tailored to my goals, and using whatever equipment I have available. He gives me lifts that I like to do but also exercises to fix deficits that he sees and that I never thought of! Even though we’re in different time zones, he’s always responsive to messages, and we send video updates constantly to tweak my form and give feedback. 5/5 stars, definitely recommend, tell all your friends! Less

I searched for 5 months before coming to a final decision on "who" I wanted for MY Coach! For me, it was important to be able to get help without fear of being judged. I'm a big girl, so a certain level of comfort was also needed for me.... (I knew I needed him for a substantial amount of time.) I hit the point of hiring Coach Nate when I had to buy an extension for my seatbelt in my truck. That was it for me! And, Within my first 6 weeks with Coach Nate, I'd dropped 29lbs and that extension came OFF!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COACH NATE!!! He's not only professional, but he's kind and goes above and beyond to help! Coach Nate gave me something back I didn't think I'd ever find again, he gave me back MYSELF! Thanks Coach Nate <3 Less

Nate is by far the best trainer I’ve ever had. In the past, trainers have clearly slapped together off the cuff workouts and not taken my goals seriously. Nate spent time talking to me and asking me about my goals. I very much want to add some bulk and improve definition. He spent time planning a program for me and came back with set workouts to help me achieve my goals. Those workouts include weekly training progression goals. Considerable time was taken to ensure correct form to maximize efficiency and assure that I wouldn’t get hurt as the weights increased. His knowledge of exercise anatomy and physiology is unparalleled in my experience, and I’ve been in gyms for 30 years. I ask ALOT of questions because I want to understand how what I’m doing in the gym will help me to achieve my goals. He has endless patience and makes himself available by text when I have questions about nutrition or new exercises I’m unclear about because I can’t remember! Nate clearly has a passion for what he does and is a true professional. Less

Coach Nate worked with our son and really bumped up his confidence in the gym. He was always super responsive and communication was great. Overall awesome experience! Less

Nate not only knows his stuff but also how to apply his experience to help you meet your goals. He strikes the right balance of motivating you without being overbearing and of helping you push your limits without risking your safety. Less

I love training with Nate; He's super supportive, very educated and fun to be with. He always seems to know exactly what I need in a workout and helps me get there safely. I'm learning so much about training and can't wait to see him each week! Less

Nate if knowledgable, fun and easy to work with! I started training pretty nervous, as I did not have much experience working out or going to gyms. Nate’s laid back and friendly personality put me at ease and in a short amount of time he has taught me so much! He gives me great insight into my workouts and is really great at gauging my physical limits and helping me stay motivated and engaged. I definitely recommend working with Nate! Less
