My journey at Lokal started when I found out that I was going to be expecting a daughter. I had been dealing with chronic back pain for years up to that point and decided that I didn’t want to be the young dad that couldn’t be active with his kid due to back issues. 

After calling Jessi and her talking with me through my concerns, I showed up the following week and the rest is history. Since day 1 Jessi and our coaches have helped me modify certain workouts and movements in ways that both gave me pain relief while also not aggravating my existing back issues any further-I’m forever thankful for that. (Thanks for never making me deadlift ).

I love the little home away from home that I’ve found at our gym and with our members. I’ve gone to classes at 8 AM, 7 PM, 5:30 PM, random drop ins, and class with my Nooners and no matter what, the energy and vibes are always the same. It’s pretty easy to keep coming back to a place where everyone wants everyone to get theirs. The little wins, the big wins, and everything in between-I’ve loved every minute of it and wouldn’t want it any other way or anywhere else. 

Honored to be selected as the member of the month, and I’m looking forward to many many more months of pains, gains, and laughs with y’all. Let’s get it.

Words from Michael:

I am originally from London then 15 years in N. Ireland and now a Texas transplant. Since I have been in Texas, I have tried a few gyms and different workouts but none have compared to the feeling and results I have gotten from Lokal Strength. Not only do I see a change in my health and fitness but I enjoy the group setting and meeting new people. Lokal Strength  is definitely a community within itself and that’s one of the many things I enjoy about it. I am very honored to have been chosen for this month. Thank you for all the support and love I have been shown from all Lokals, Jessi and Team.

I have been going to Lokal since Day 1, before the rig was even set up! Seeing my Lokal family continue to grow and grow makes me so dang happy & proud! I have been going to Lokal and will continue to be loyal to Lokal for two main reasons: 

1. It’s all about the members!! Seriously I wouldn’t want to start my day with any other humans. They have been there for me during the good & hard times. We show love, support, and of course laughter with each other all throughout the day. I love my crew! 

2. I have never met a coach that cares as much as Jessi. She puts EVERYTHING into Lokal for her members. When I got injured, Jessi was there for me every step of the way modifying my workouts and macros without even being asked! I could not have gotten through this injury without her support. 

Love you all!! #BleedTeal

I wanted a change and something different from my normal bodybuilding routine, so I searched gyms in New Braunfels and found Lokal Strength. I stopped by before the gym was officially open, the rig was actually in process of being installed. There has been no looking back. I found a community that I am able to share the same life values with. Be kind and lead with love!

I have been working out for a very long time, probably since 7th grade but I can honestly say none of the workouts I have done on my own has ever compared to classes I’ve attended at Lokal. I have been going to this gym for a little over 2 years now and I can’t even explain how it has influenced my life for the better! The coaches and the friendships I have made are what keep me showing up day after day. The support from everyone here at Lokal is really what it is all about. I absolutely love it, oh and the friendly competitiveness we share is fun too… well sometimes! Lol

It's great to go to the gym and basically lose all the worries and troubles we all deal with on the outside. When I am at the gym this is definitely my time to strictly just focus on myself. I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to create a better version of themselves and also anyone who is willing to push themselves beyond their own comfort level. I mean in my opinion this is where we all grow as individuals and see what we are mentally and physically capable of doing when times get tough. 

Thank you again for recognizing me! I will continue to put in the work.
