Human Machine Athletic Club

My wife and I tried personal trainers at the gym and an athletic training center before our research led us to Jon Speakman and the Human Machine Athletic Club. Working with Jon has completely resolved serious concerns (like safety) we had developed working with other trainers. Jon is a high caliber professional trainer that makes sure his clients get the most out of their workout while maintaining good form and being conscious of safety. We love to train at the state of the art Lakeway facility and are very excited to have found Jon and highly recommend him for all of your personal training needs. He?s a knowledgeable, enthusiastic professional that has helped us on our journey to better health and fitness. Pros: enthusiasm, professionalism, safety, good results more

After accepting that things change after turning 40, I decided to take Jon's ""fitness challenge"". I was impressed with Jon from our first meeting...his professionalism, knowledge, energy, enthusiasm, great personality and sense of humor put me at ease and calmed any apprehensions I had. Twelve weeks and countless sore muscles later I was in the best shape of my life and I had never felt better! I lost 10 lbs overall and gained 6 lbs of muscle and my body fat dropped 11%. Jon's program of nutrition, weight/strength training and cardio works but what did it for me was his genuine interest in my success. He is truly an inspiration...he motivated and encouraged me to not only reach the goals I did but more importantly to set and reach new goals. Over a year later I am still going strong!!! I now work out with Jon at his new facility in Lakeway. The set-up allows for much more diverse and personalized work-outs. Lack of distractions and no waiting in line for equipment makes each work-out more intense and challenging. I am hooked for life!!! I would and do recommend Jon without reservation to anyone who is ready to invest in their health. Look forward to a life changing experience!!!!! Pros: State of the art faciility and the best trainer in the world...what more could you ask for? Cons: I wish he was closer...but worth the drive from Round Rock...without a doubt!!! more

A great facility with lots of room to work. The workouts at Human Machine are more focused, there are no distractions. Jon is excellent, stressing proper form for maximum results, and is always prepared with a workout plan designed just for you. Under his guidance I went from 25% body fat to 10% in three months! You won't be disappointed. more

Jon shows you the right way to train with the right form. He'll create a routine that works for you. I had been suffering from joint pain and had removed a lot of exercises from my routine. Jon showed me the right way to do squats, deadlifts, ... and I'm lifting heavier than I ever had been. Now, no more pain. more

I've been training with Jon for over two years and since working with him have lost 20 lbs and ,now in my late forties, can honestly say that I'm in the best shape of my life. Jon brings a quiet, deliberate focus to his work - never wavering from his goal to improve your strength, stamina and endurance while making absolutely sure that your form is perfect!!! He expects the same commitment from you that he give to you... and the combination works. Jon's new Human Machine fitneess center is a no-nonsense place (you have to walk up steps - imagine that in a fitness center - to get there) with excellent equipment state of the art equipment and the space needed to truly receive the benefits of individual attention. Jon understands that most of us live and work in the real world and don't need to be body builders. We just need to be healthy and strong to keep up with busy lives and still feel great. I am an absolute fan - walking proof that Jon's program and committment works. Just can't say enough good things!!! Plus, Jon is very funny..... Pros: Plenty of Parking, Plenty of room to work out, Focused personal attention Cons: Have to drive to Lakeway but it's worth it! more

I've worked out with Jon at his Austin location for nearly 3 years. Jon focuses on the whole person with emphasis on long-term fitness. He is always prepared for our sessions and can explain the how and the why of each exercise. He tolerates my whiny bad days (there are a few) but is always more than willing to push me a bit harder. All the benefits I've always expected from physical training--sustained energy, improved sleep, reduced depression, better focus--but never got at my old gym, I've gotten through my workouts with Jon. Most importantly, Jon makes me enjoy working out so I do it more consistently than I have in the past. Pros: Well planned, friendly, encouraging and firm without undue pressure, knowldegeable more

I have had several ""personal"" trainers - most likely got their training on line! Some just ""body build"" and talk the entire hour...good grief! Pros: personal training equals better health, life, etc...those are the Pros that are KEY more
