About

Bodies By Akeem is so much more than a gym – we have long been recognized as industry leaders when it comes to delivering real measurable results.  And for the past 15 years, we have been helping high achieving professionals, corporate executives, NCAA athletes, and regular Austinites look and feel their best.

 At Bodies By Akeem, we believe that investing in your health goes beyond achieving a specific weight or body shape.  It's about creating a lifestyle that works for you, one that makes you feel incredibly amazing, physically, mentally, and emotionally.  

Every journey is unique, and what matters most is how you feel—not just how you look. One of our clients recently discovered the power of strength training, and it has not only transformed her body but also her mindset about what’s possible.  She found that fitness is not about meeting a certain standard but about feeling empowered and strong.  

Truth is, everyone discovers fitness at different stages in life, and no two journeys are exactly the same.  We all have different goals—whether they’re physical, emotional, or athletic—and that’s okay.  And anyone that believes otherwise – is just wrong.  What works for one person may not work for another. The first step is to accept where you are today and recognize that you want to make a sustainable change.  

Making the decision to improve your health isn’t about a goal of benching, squatting, or deadlifting 500 pounds.  This about making sustainable changes that will propel you through your golden years.  Success is defined by the you.  Bodies By Akeem is a safe space, and a judgment free zone.  

You may have heard that weightlifting will make you bulky—that’s a lie.  Strength and resistance training can help develop physical power and enhance your overall strength. It also improves your posture, helps build lean muscle, and can positively change your body composition. Most importantly, functional strength training can make you better equipped for life, both mentally and physically. When combined with the right amount of conditioning, mobility work, and a nutrient dense nutrition, you’re capable of achieving incredible results.

At Bodies By Akeem, we aren’t here to tell you how you should look or what you should do.  Rather, we’re here to show you that it’s okay to prioritize yourself.   Yes, our disciplines here at Bodies By Akeem are intense, but they are extremely effective.  Prioritizing techniques and ensuring your safety is a top focus.  We won’t promise it will be easy—if it were, everyone would be doing it. But we do promise it will be worth every drop of sweat, sore muscles, and money.  

Let’s start your journey today!
