Training / Classes in Austin

1-on-1 training with Paul Holubets at Lake Travis’s amazing hideaway

Train with Paul at the Rough Hollow Fitness Center in Lakeway (Austin), Texas, and experience the beauty of Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country. Nestled high on the cliffs overlooking Lake Travis, Rough Hollow is a new lakefront development in the heart of Lakeway. This master-planned community of 1,787 acres boasts magnificent views of the lake and its surrounding limestone cliffs including 270-acres of majestic waterfront.

The fitness center consists of two gyms: the strength gym and the cardio gym.

The strength gym features CYBEX’s state-of-the-art VR3 range-limiting strength line, along with dumbbells, boxing/kick boxing, and a functional training area. The functional training area is equipped for core/stabilization training, balance and agility training, plyometrics, and floor work. This room also contains two large flat screen TVs.

The cardio gym hosts a vast array of equipment, including the newly acclaimed Precor AMT® (Adaptive Motion Trainer), CYBEX treadmills, CYBEX Total Body Arc Trainers, Versa Climber, Fluid Rower, and the innovative Expresso S2 stationary bike that uses virtual-reality technology. While on the cardio equipment, users can enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Travis or watch personal TVs.

While training with Paul at Rough Hollow, you can also enjoy the fresh air and get a bit of exercise walking, jogging, or hiking the trails and greenbelts in Lakeway. Many of the paths are primitive and challenge you with steeper climbs to get your heart pumping. The resort-style swimming pool is an excellent place to do some laps, then rest and enjoy the view of the lake and marina. And the stairs leading down to the Rough Hollow Yacht Club & Marina are a workout in themselves—especially when the water is low and more steps are added. With the lake being low this summer, there are currently 165 steps—each way—for you to climb. It’s a great way to get those legs and your heart in shape!

The 4,000-square-foot open-air pavilion at Rough Hollow offers the opportunity to do boot camps, mat Pilates, yoga, circuit training, and more. Kids’ classes, such as Taekwondo, can be even more fun with a view of Lake Travis. Classes will be forming soon. Sign up today and be the first to know about new classes and events.

Meet your Mat Pilates Trainer

As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, Elissa Rosales began her career as a sports swim instructor. She completed her certification in Water Safety Instruction and became a certified swim instructor in 1998.

It was a back injury that caused her to turn to swimming for relief. Like many of her clients, she naturally gravitated to swimming as a low-impact activity. The objective of recovering from and preventing her own injuries would lead her to Pilates in 2003. She would continue practicing Pilates until the summer of 2006.

After discovering that Pilates would not only prevent injuries-but also improve performance and recovery time-she felt motivated to share her love of Pilates with others. In 2008, Elissa received her teacher certification from Costa Mesa, California's Body Arts and Science International™ after completing over 400 hours of study, observation, and teaching.

Her teaching style is designed to empower people of all ages, ability levels, and conditions. She strives to help clients live a full, balanced, and pain-free life.

Upcoming Programs

F. I. T. Boot Camp Training

Rough Hollow logo Functional Integrated Training (F.I.T.) group training is located under Rough Hollow’s pavilion, offering a total body workout that emphasizes body alignment to build muscular strength, endurance, agility, flexibility, and balance. Since this is circuit training, heart rates will remain elevated throughout the hour. Various tools are incorporated into these workouts (such as the BOSU® balance trainer, stability balls, resistance bands, weighted jump ropes, medicine balls, Reebok Step, TKO upright boxing unit, and the TRX® suspension training fitness straps). These workouts can burn well over 700 calories – so be prepared to sweat.

What do I need to bring? Water, to stay hydrated.
How long are the workouts? Personal training is 60 minutes and includes warm-up, workout, and stretches. The Boot Camp is 90 minutes and includes warm-up, full-body workout, and cool down.
Do I need to bring a heart rate monitor? Yes, if you have one or you can order one at a discount, if you desire.
Should I do one-on-one personal training before I tackle the Boot Camp? Yes. It’s a good idea to have a fitness assessment and learn the fundamentals with personal trainer, Paul Holubets, CPT, before moving to the higher-intensity Boot Camp.
