Expert-coached training programs built around your body, your goals, and your schedule. No fluff. No guesswork. Just results.
About Groundwork
I'm Marcus Reed — NSCA-certified strength coach and founder of Groundwork. I opened this studio in 2016 after a decade of training athletes, weekend warriors, and everyone in between. I've seen what works and what wastes your time.
Groundwork is a private, distraction-free studio in South Austin. Every program is built from your first session assessment — not a template off the internet. Your goals, your body, your timeline.
Training Programs
No group class randomness. No cookie-cutter apps. Each program is written for one person — you — and adjusted every time you walk through the door.
Pure focus. Zero distractions.
One hour, one coach, one mission. Private sessions designed around your current fitness level and evolving goals. Ideal for beginners building a foundation or athletes pushing into new territory.
Partner accountability. Expert coaching.
Train in pairs of 2–4. Same level of program design, shared energy. Great for couples, friends, or coworkers who want to push each other without losing the quality of personalized coaching.
Build muscle. Lose fat. Keep both.
12-week structured block periodization. This isn't a quick fix — it's a proven system for changing your body composition through progressive overload and smart nutrition structure.
Sport-specific. Competition-ready.
For recreational athletes, returning competitors, and anyone who wants to move better and play harder. Builds speed, power, mobility, and injury resilience through sport-specific movement.
