Before starting at TCS I had zero barbell experience. The coaches and community enthusiastically embrace rookies and give positive and constructive feedback to help you learn and gain confidence with each part of these workouts. It’s always fun even if it’s challenging, but your only competition is yourself ! Kudos to Travis and team for running an awesome gym where all are welcome.

I have been coming here for about 4 or 5 months now and really enjoy it. I switched from a HIIT workout to this gym only because it was close to my new house. But I'm really glad I made the change. My previous HIIT workouts were always intense and a hodgepodge of different exercises without any real thought behind them - just gun it. At TCS, the warm up preps the muscles you'll actually be using in the intense, strength portion of the workout. Classes are also small, so in addition to a thoughtful, intentional workout, you get plenty of 1:1 time with the coach to correct any of your movements. They encourage you to work hard, but listen to your body.If you're intimidated by a barbell and squat rack, I understand. But the coaches are there to help you, and your classmates are willing to spot you when needed. HIIT workouts kept me lean, but this place keeps me feeling strong and motivated.

I've been a member of TCS for the last 2.5 years. This gym has changed my life in the best ways. I started as a beginner thinking I wouldn't be capable of getting though the challenging programming since I've had multiple lumbar spinal surgeries. It's given my physical and mental health such a boost. This gym is run by some of the most outstanding people, namely the head coach, Travis Holley. It's a gym for everyone-no matter your fitness level, age, gender, size, etc...all are welcome, everyone is made to feel very welcome, supported, and safe. Highly recommend checking it out.

Longtime patron of the sweaty business of TCS. It's a one-of-a-kind life preserver for both endorphins and in giving of unwavering support of humans endeavoring in this messy modern world. I've been working out alongside friends for a decade plus and have watched new individuals fall in love with the atmosphere, kindness, and the keen lifting smarts of the coaches. Come for the workout, stay for the community!

I was in town for the month and decided to sign up for a few classes. The instructors are exciting, friendly and knowledgeable. What sets this gym apart from most is how engaging and helpful everyone is. I mean, I had total strangers helping me put away my equipment at 0630 in the morning.. This might be a Texas thing but the leadership here definitely has a role. Travis County Strength helped me enjoy working out again. You guys have a fan hailing from Miami! ???

This review is actually about what happened after my membership!Firstly, I had an amazing experience at the gym itself. Travis and the other instructors were super attentive on form, and really educated their members on lifting heavy in a responsible way. The workouts are challenging, but scalable to to everyone from beginner to veteran lifters. It's a fine line getting someone to push their limits without injury, and TCS does that super well.I want to give a huge shoutout though to Travis for how the gym treated its old members even after the membership had ended (I also only was able to attend TCS for 4 months total). 6 months after I stopped attending TCS I noticed that there had been monthly membership withdrawals from TCS. I searched my emails, and could not find any evidence of having ended my membership. In my move to different cities it had slipped through the cracks. I reached out to Travis, and we worked through what must have happened- He was always super polite and helpful. At the end, even though he had absolutely no obligation to do so, he provided me a refund for the months I'd been missing.Long story short, TCS treats its members incredibly well and the good vibes that flow through that gym are genuine. Met some great people there while getting strong!

Great workouts even better coaches. I really appreciate the focus on proper technique which is uncommon at a lot group class gyms. The community too is super encouraging. Definitely recommend!

Took my first trial class and really enjoyed myself. It's not a CrossFit gym, it's exactly what it says in the name "strength" training.Felt really good and accomplished after and Travis was a good coach and made me feel welcome. Definitely recommend if you're looking to mix up your normal routines and have fun!

I started going to TCS during the pandemic in fall of last year (2020), and it really helped my mental health. I did yoga for a couple of years before starting strength training, and I was unsure whether I'd like lifting. At the beginning, I could barely lift the 35lb. barbell when I started, but progress came quickly (and is still happening) with the help of great coaches.All in all, highly recommend this gym. The atmosphere is positive and inclusive, the members are kind, and the coaches are encouraging (Travis, Jen, and Sean are all great). If you stick with it, you'll see results! (My spouse convinced me to go, and now we work out together :D)Oh, and as a huge added plus--lots of strong, great women frequent this gym! And it's so encouraging to see and be reminded that lifting isn't just a "guy thing."

I joined TCS about 3 weeks ago and I must say I am HOOKED. The workouts are intense and with a small group of 11 people. The coaches will correct your form if you are doing a movement incorrectly and help push you to your limits. I would recommend this facility to anyone and have transitioned from a trial membership to their unlimited planI would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking to get fit!Travis and Sean are awesome coaches!

hell of a gym- came in with lots of injuries and in the worst shape of my life and TCS took care to make sure I didnt aggravate my injuries while helping me get back in shape. Ive been through lots of trainers in my life but sean is hands down the best one ive ever had; kind, patient, and fully explains each movement with a lot of emphasis on technique. even went out of his way to look at my diet and provide me with a meal plan to help me reach my goals- went above and beyond with everything. jen and travis write up some amazing workouts and are super nice people. gym is super clean and classes are small so no corona fears.

I've been coming here two years and have seen amazing changes in my body & mind. The women's program (LIFT) is a supportive space for people new and experienced in strength training. I definitely recommend the coaching of Jen and Travis!

I'd give 6 stars if I could! I live way too far south to make it there regularly, but each and every time I can make it Travis and the crew are always super welcoming and genuinely glad to have you!Travis writes workout plans that are works of art! Seriously, they are beautiful! Solid warm ups, creative & accessible workouts, and he does a great job explaining each part, while supporting you during the workout.This is the place to train if you leave anywhere close!

A really fantastic gym. Travis is a hell of a coach and runs a great program. He’s been great to modify the day’s exercises to match little injuries I’ve had. If you show up and work hard you’ll get in incredible shape.
