5) Marshal Ryan Priest C.P.T {H.E.A.T. Personal Training}
Growing up in Austin, Marshall Ryan Priest has experienced first-hand the evolution of the city's bid to become the fittest in America. Driven to help Austin reach that goal, Marshall has committed his life to bringing fitness and a healthier lifestyle to those around him. As a college athlete, he experienced a debilitating back injury that changed his approach to physical activity and training. Unable to train for nearly half a year, Marshall's views on fitness and health began to evolve. During his rehabilitation from back surgery, he learned the importance of core strengthening and functional movements, both of which were crucial to his recovery. With a new appreciation for fitness, Marshall sought to pursue a career in the industry and to help others live healthy, active lives.
After working for a couple of the larger gyms in the Austin area, Marshall became discouraged, often feeling restricted and unable to provide his clients with the support they needed. After joining Cody Butler and the team of trainers at H.E.A.T., Marshall found his niche. “The studio allows me the freedom to think outside the box when it comes to training,” he says. As a personal trainer, Marshall is not limited by the idea that there is one style of exercise for any particular fitness goal. Instead, he prefers to utilize a variety of techniques to achieve well-rounded physical, mental and emotional health. He calls this type of training “Fusion Fitness.” Marshall describes his profession as a creative outlet, and he draws inspiration from his surroundings and clients.
In the new year, Marshall hopes to help many new Austinites identify and achieve their fitness goals. According to him, “the ultimate reward for a personal trainer is to be a part of someone's success story.”

14) RevelationFitness
Jim Nettles, Mariah MacDonald and the Revelation Fitness Team
Believe in the impossible. Then make it happen. This is the mantra that made Jim Nettles, Mariah MacDonald and their team the most sought-after physique transformation coaches in the nation, and their company, Revelation Fitness, one of the country’s fastest-growing start-ups.
For the second year in a row, Revelation Fitness climbs to the top of AFM's list of Austin's Top 10 Trainers. Not surprising coming from a company that caused a stir by running ads that their competition claimed were Photoshopped. “I love the Photoshop controversy,” laughs Revelation Fitness co-owner Mariah MacDonald. “Mostly because we do absolutely nothing to the images. They’re all raw out of the camera. But the accusation alone is the highest compliment anyone can pay us.”
Jim Nettles explains the story behind the Reveals: “I see this time and again with our clients: they come with starting goals of weight-loss, getting a beach-ready body, acquiring a six-pack... but at the end of their program they find a new person within them. Accomplishing the impossible has made them grow leaps and bounds never thought possible before!” Their clients agree. “With their help I went from a size 18 to a size 10 in 12 weeks! Now I’m down to a size 8 and can’t wait to see what a size 4 feels like!”
gushes Luci Rau, 31.
Revelation Fitness is launching a new website in February that will showcase the dramatic transformations and progressions they’ve coached. "We have too many untold stories of success,” general manager Josh Patton explains. “We are our clients' results, and the journey they took to achieve those results. Their journey from day 1 to day 90 defines who we are as a company.” He then leans in and asks, ”By the way, what’s your story?”

Camp Gladiator is a full-body/functional workout that’s challenging, yet doable for all fitness levels. Each session is different, and since the motto at Camp Gladiator is “kick your own butt,” campers all go at their own pace. The positive atmosphere and incredible group dynamic is why so many Austinites scream, “I love Camp Gladiator” from the top of their lungs as they do jumping jacks.
There are definitely reasons why Camp Gladiator has become the largest outdoor fitness program in Austin in just 18 months, and been voted “Best of” by virtually every publication and rating agency. Here are just a few of them:
Camp Gladiator was founded by Austin native Ally Davidson after winning the TV show “American Gladiators” in 2008.

Her experiences from training for the show and her background in sports and fitness as a collegiate athlete and certified trainer lay the foundation for Camp Gladiator’s results-driven workouts. Camp Gladiator’s all-star trainers include NFL wide receiver Jeff Ogden, all-American soccer player Ali Christoph, former Texas A&M swimmer Brandon Brickley and Marine Corps veteran Rob Ayala.
