Kirk & Julie Leavell Create Austin's Finest Fitness Facilities

When personal trainers Kirk and Julie Leavell founded Wild Basin Fitness over 10 years ago, they set-out to redefine the fitness club experience.  Tired of working for large, corporate fitness giants that offered vast facilities but little personal service, Kirk and Julie started with a handful of clients and grew their business to one of Austin's most respective clubs.  Integrating personalized service with the beauty of Ausitn results in a rare combination you can find nowhere else.

"At Wild Basin, we strive to provide every client with a level of service you can't find in most clubs," explains Kirk.  "Whether you come for a class once a week or you train with me everyday, I want you to feel like you belong here."  Indeed, clients often influence everything at Wild Basin from operating hours to class schedules.   Combining formal education (from Blinn Jr. College and Sam Houston State University) with years of training experience, Kirk is able to provide expert training and guidance to everyone from first-time members to a slew of professional athletes.

Cultivating a culture of openess and a comfortable environment are key to Julie.  "I love working at Wild Basin.  I love the fact that I not only see fresh faces everyday, but I also have clients that I've trained for years," says Julie.  "I'm proud of the culture we have here.  People know you here.  They care about you and they're happy to see you."  With a BS in Kinesiology from SHSH, Julie focuses not only on personal training, but also teaches classes and an occasional boot camp.

Co-owners Tom and Alica Harrison partnered with Kirk and Julie to open the Steiner Ranch facility.  "I never stepped foot into a gym until I was 40," asserts Tom.  "While I had struggled with my weight my whole life, I never knew how to change my lifestyle.  I'd tried lots of diets, but never had any success until I started training with Kirk.  From the very first day (when I very nearly passed-out), Kirk has helped me progressively change my diet and my workouts.  I went from nearly 300 pounds to 200 pounds, and I've kept it off for 5 years.  I'm stronger and healthier now that I've ever been."

"Though my experience wasn't as dramatic as Tom's, I also went from being a complete novice to a partner in a gym," echos Alica.  "For months, I watched Tom flourish under Kirk's guidance.  But I was still too intimidated to walk in the door.  Finally, after months of nagging, I finally stepped foot in the door and never looked back.  Wild Basin is not about how much you weigh or how great you look in Spandex.  It's about how you feel and how you feel about yourself."
