The Alpha Project

Don’t waste your time here unless you are already in great shape. I was looking to get back to daily workout routine and stopped by while riding my bike. Met with owner who had little interest in recruiting me. Said I would need a letter from an Orthopeadic surgeon before he could train me. Guess I am in seriously bad shape. Which is odd because I think I work out a bit.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not an nfl trained athlete and I’m no longer 21 which apparently means this is not the place to train. I was left with the impression that they only want people who are already in great shape to work out here.
Just a few minutes with the owner sealed the impression that this place is only for the elite with no room for someone that is not already there.

I have come back to The Alpha Project at a new time with a new trainer — Tracy. He is excellent.
Workouts start on time.
End on time.
Very professional trainer.
His classes are in the early morning 5am and 6am MWF. I used to think that I would hate being up that early for working out but it’s quite the opposite. I get a great workout. I am very clear and focused for the day. I have nothing but good things to say about Tracy.

I LOVE working out at Alpha Project! I joined back in July after my 24hr Fitness Training pckg expired. I did the one week free class in Laura’s classes, joined right away, and immediately had changes in strength and speed.
Classes are the perfect combo of weights, cardio, and some plyo. On gorgeous days, sprints and lunging outside the door on the Katy Trail! It’s a modern approach to physical training.
Classes are small and hands-​on, and focuses on the invidual’s needs for form and weight. I’ve lost another % body fat more recently incorporating minor diet changes per Laura’s recommendation.
The best part has been Lauren and training with awesome people! I recommended the gym to my husband and he’s totally hooked too.

I used to work out at the Baylor Tom Landry fitness center doing the same standard workout as most people. Upper body one day lower the next with some cardio mixed in. The same old boring routine with little, if any, results to show for it.
In August 2010 I got fed up with the same boring and mundane routine that I decided to give The Alpha Project a try. All I can say is WOW. The workouts are never boring, nothing is routine, there is always some new exercise or technique that is incorporated into the workout and I just love it. There is a feeling of accomplishment after all the workouts.
Rob works at tailoring the workout to meet your needs. Some of his clients want to lose weight, other want to build speed and endurance (you know… explosive power) and I want to build muscle. Regardless of what you are looking for this may very well help you achieve your goals.
If you decide to join a gym instead, that’s fine. Excersicing is always good, but if you want to see results and improve yourself physiologically and physically, then the Alpha Project is the way to go.
Give it a shot. What have you got to lose besides a pound or two :)

I started working out with Rob in March and I can honestly say, this is one of the only workout routines I’ve really been able to stick with and see results from. It’s basically like small group personal training– usually there isn’t more than 5 people in a group (normally I work out with 2 other people) so you get personal attention with the benefit of working out with other people.
I could try and describe the work-out’s but I’m sure I won’t do it justice so I’d really recommend just coming in and trying it out for a week or so. You may be tempted to give up after the first work out because it is super hard and probably unlike anything you’ve ever done before but that’s the best part, so don’t give up! Push past the first few weeks and you will not only see a difference in how you look and feel, you’ll also be addicted!
The people that work out here are really friendly and always push each other– don’t get me wrong, it can definitely get competitive, but that’s good! it just pushes me harder. I’ll admit that i was intimidated at first because prior to coming here, my workout’s really consisted of treadmills and elipticals plus the occasional spin class so this is a lot different. But, Rob is really friendly and helpful, he’ll take the time to teach you each workout/​move and tailor the difficulty to you.
I could go on and on… but basically, if you’re looking for a personal trainer type outcome at a cheaper price in a fun/​competitive setting, you should definitely check out The Alpha Project. I used to dread working out and now it’s completely part of my normal routine and I can honestly say that when I have to skip a class, I really miss it!
