Kratai Fitness Studio

No words can describe this experience. Kratai is amazing at teaching and listening to your needs and goals. She encourages you until you meet that goal :) I wanted to tone my arms and by the time the session was over I looked and felt was good about myself. All the workouts were awesome and each for them were different from the one before. Some gyms do the samething but NOT Kratai and her team. I never thought I would say this but I like cycling class.It's challenging but awesome! \r \r Kratai is a very caring person who has a heart of gold. Her encouragement thought the day to eat healthy which is such a great help. What trainer at a gym would do that?? You have to meet her you'll love her!\r \r I meet some great friends in this program. I feel so lucky :) more

Ladies, only consider Kratai Fitness Studio if you want to better your physical body and healthful mind because that is what you’ll get! BUT, get ready for hard work! Kratai pushes you beyond what you would do yourself and thus the result. Kratai offers encouragement, advice, and knowledge to help you make better food choices that is in line with achieving your goals. It’s a complete package that you don’t get with any regular personal trainer. In 3 months I’ve gained 6 lbs of lean muscles and dropped 1 pant size (8 to 6). I signed up with Kratai because I was tired of carrying around the “baby” fat…my youngest of 3 is now 9 years old…he’s not a baby anymore! She has helped me gained more muscle definition in my arms and legs and lost more fat around my mid-section than all the times I’ve tried doing it myself or with other personal (gym) trainers. Kratai’s program is well worth the investment in self improvement! more

I have been involved in the Power of Six program since May 2009. The reason for joining this program was to look my absolute best at my 20 year class reunion. It worked! 2 years later I'm still in the program. I don't actually call it a program, it's a lifestyle. Kratai Albert is on your side to do whatever you will allow her to do to help meet your goals. Power of Six is my family. I can't imagine it not being a part of my life.\r \r more

I have had a few trainers before, but not one that is so committed to coaching her clients towards their success. \r \r Kratai and her team are inspirational, well-educated and committed to us and our desires LONG-TERM. \r \r I really felt as though with everything they build into their programs I was bound to succeed if I just didn't quit. But...beyond my weight loss, body composition changing, and my increased energy, I love how my lifestyle is changing. \r \r Kratai Fitness Studio has educated me so that I now live my life differently: from the rest I pursue, to the food choices I am learning to make for myself and my family, to seizing opportunities to live healthier during each various season I enter!!! \r \r I am still learning and just enjoying the process rather than thinking of this as another diet or fitness frenzy that I'd end in a couple weeks or feel guilty for what I hadn't accomplished! \r \r Thx so much guys...I'm so SO impressed... more

I have always been one of those people who really wanted to be fit and who would sporadically try to incorporate exercise into my hectic life. But with a busy full-time job and two young kids, I just couldn’t seem to make it enough of a long-term or consistent priority on my own. The Power of Six program with Kratai not only gave me the inspiration to aim for true fitness, she gave me the tools to continue that path on my own too. In 3 months, I achieved amazing strides in my overall health and fitness including: • A loss of 17 pounds (by the scale, not even counting the muscle mass I gained), plus almost 17 total inches and 2 pants sizes lost – and still counting! • Significant increase in muscle definition, particularly in my upper body, but also in my legs & abs • Much more energy plus fewer headaches and PMS symptoms • An amazing group of women from the program who support each other both in class and outside of it • A lifestyle change in my attitudes toward nutrition & exercise For me, one of the most important things I’ve learned from this program was that, in taking the time to do this for myself, I actually was doing something for my family too. My two young girls see me prioritizing my health, making time for exercise and eating right. Not only does that give me more energy & long-term health to be there for them (not to mention sanity – yay, endorphins!), my daughters are also developing their attitudes based on what they see from me. Training with Kratai definitely requires the willingness to put in the time and work hard, but it’s one of the best investments I could have ever made and yielded more amazing results than I could have hoped for. I would recommend Kratai to anyone and look forward to training with her again in the future! Pros: The most amazing thing you can do for yourself! Cons: Life transformation, not just an ""easy"" fix more

Kratai Abert is like condensed milk: She's really sweet, but she's really STRONG. My husband met Kratai in 2007, he immediately put me in touch with her. Since then, my life has never been the same. Kratai began training me when I was 5 months pregnant with my second child, and once I had my kiddo, we started the REAL workouts with her Power ON group. Everything I'd heard people say about ""having a trainer"" was NOTHING like Kratai: training with her is not just about working out. She is a total, mind and body health coach, inspiring and reinforcing not only exercise (which is challenging and fun, even for someone who's in good shape), but also healthy eating habits, hydration, balance, and the importance of belief (both in yourself and in a higher spirit). The dynamic women I met in Kratai's Power ON group were all stronger than me, healthier than me, and more athletic than me, but this difference was inspiring! The group coached and cheered me on, and I KNOW that was part of my success. I lost several inches and feel better about myself than I have in a long time. I also feel confident that I will be able to carry on these lessons for a lifetime and be here for my husband and two kiddos for a long, long time. Pros: Finally do something GOOD for yourself Cons: It takes time to make the commitment (but it's worth it!) more

Kratai is truly one of the most amazing women I have met in my whole life. She truly cares about every single person she trains and tailors the program to work specificially for you and your needs. The great thing about Kratai is that she is not just a trainer she is a teacher as well. You will learn about foods and what you are truly putting in your body and why they make you feel that way. This program is set up so that when you are done you will have the tools you need to continue on your own with great success. This program will work for anyone no matter size, weight, age. I am a single mom with a toddler and my starting size was a 22/24. So don't think ""I just don't have time"" or ""I am too big, I'll be embarrassed."" Trust me, if I can do it anyone can. If you really want to take control of your life the Power of Six Program and Kratai is the right choice for you. Pros: Personalized training, amazing results more

Kratai Albert?s Power of Six class is amazing. I am a 46-year old woman who has gone through several personal trainers, jazzercise, etc, etc. I have also tried numerous diets. I found myself at 46 overweight, out of shape, with a low level of energy and self-esteem. Kratai was able to turn all of that around. The small intimate setting of the Power of Six is great. Kratai pushes you to be the best you can be. She is supportive and she makes the class fun. I am in better shape than I have been in years and I lost 12 inches.\r \r Be prepared to have family and friends stop you and tell you how great you look when you take Kratai?s class. This class will change your life. Kratai teaches you how to eat healthy, how to get back in shape and how to become the person you always knew you could be. Call Kratai Albert and it will be the single best thing you have ever done for yourself.\r more

I was introduced to Kratai by a friend. She raved about her previous kickboxing studio and how very lucky she was to have found her again. I was initially nervous because I am not a steady worker-outer and certainly did not believe in my abilities to accomplish what she has shown me over the last 6 months! I started her program and the results have been astonishing! Not only does Kratai teach a class of 6-8, but she has the great ability to personalize and individualize the workout to your strengths and weaknesses without making you feel like you are bringing the class down. At the same time, she will push you past limits that you did not think you could reach. She sees the potential in you that you do not think you have. Her program has helped me develop a better self esteem, believe in myself more and trust in her when she pushes me and tells me I can do. At first when she would state what we were doing, I would freak out, now, not only do I welcome it, but I want more. I feel amazing, have lost a lot of weight, developed muscles that I did not know I had and I feel a million times better than I have in years! I regretfully will not be continuing the program in January for my third session due to conflicts with work (not because of Kratai!) I will totally be back at some point.....My advice to anyone considering this program is to just call Kratai and talk to her. She is amazing. Let her tell you what she has to offer and how her program can work for you. I considered myself one of the unhealthiest and unfit people she probably ever had in her program and she has found a strength and ability in me that I did not know existed! Thanks Kratai!! ~Amy!!! more

I just have to say that Kratai and the Power of Six workout is AWESOME! I have seen some amazing results and feel absolutely wonderful. Everything that I have read about this workout does not measure up to what you actually get out of the class, It far exceeds! Kratai is an amazing instructor and actually cares about your well being and fitness progress....You can't go wrong. I highly recommend Kratai's program to all. more

I am not a review writer. I love to read reviews on Amazoncom, and actually this is how I find tons of great books to purchase. I have always said that I should take the time but I just never do. I am taking the time now because I have found a jewel in North Austin. The jewel that I am writing about is Kratai at Kratai Fitness Studio. I have been a member for a few months and I have had the honor to loose weight, get stronger, and most importantly find more self confidence. Oh yeah and I have lost a few dress sizes (YIPPEE) Now let me be honest - this is the place to be if you want to sweet, and cry yourself into a laugh. It is a fun routine and it is different daily. In the Power of Six program we had Yoga, Cooking Classes, and Massages. \r \r If you take the time to read this review please take the time to give Kratai a call. When I talked to her the first time I knew that she was special. She definitely credits God with her success because she has the perfect spirit for this wonderful job/career. She calls and checks on me when I am not there, she emails me and she cares about the total overall well being of each of her students. I always feel cherished, respected, and comfortable and it can't be easy to make each customer feel the same support and encouragement - but she does it.\r \r One of her instructors is named Madea, and boy they are an awesome team. Kratai has also referred me to Dr. Tsui and she is helping me improve my health by focusing on my dizzy spells. She has developed a team that wants and can support the overall body/mind transformation. \r \r I will continue to workout with her and learn from her. Please give my friend, coach, and my Sister in Christ a call. She will support you and expect that you work hard to support yourself. \r \r NOW LOG OFF AND CALL, EMAIL, TEXT - Just do something - luckily my husband found her, and called her for me because I was so tired of normal trainers. Respectfully, Katrina more

I wanted to improve my overall health, but was underwhelmed by all the options. Kratai changed my coworker's life in such a significant way it was impossible not to ask what ignited the spark. The morning after her testimony about the Power of Six, I found myself on the phone with Kratai. She instantly put me at ease and carefully explained the concept...cooking classes, health seminars, massages, yoga, image consulting, journaling, tough workouts. Within minutes Kratai had a new student. I met the other five girls and knew I made a good choice. Whether you can do one push up or a hundred the level of encouragement is the same. I finally feel like I'm on the right path. Kratai and all of the professionals associated with the Power of Six inspire greatness. I would highly recommend the Power of Six to anyone in need of a permanent lifestyle shift. more

I heard about Kratai when I was preparing for my wedding two years ago. But at that time, because of schedule and other conflicts, I wasn't able to work with her. Then in July I found out about her Power of Six program. I had my first child late in 2007 and was eager to get back into shape. Power of Six is just that program! I've been so pleased with the workouts which are challenging and effective as well as Kratai's methods. She's encouraging and tough but always has a kind word and a listening ear. As a fellow mom, she really knew what it was like balancing work, motherhood, and fitness. I've never felt stronger or healthier and the tools I've gained in her program will help me continue to make fitness, health, and well-being a part of my life forever. more

My fitness journey with Kratai began four years ago at her kick boxing studio. Unfortunately for me, a year later, Kratai decided to close her studio. For the last three years I have spent time searching and wasting money looking for another kick boxing/fitness program that kept me motivated as Kratai did. I was never satisfied with my results and would give up. All a while, my health bottomed out-on the road to diabetes, I had extremely high triglycerides and cholesterol and was on the verge of forever taking medication! Needless to say, I had no energy (I would get exhausted walking around the mall) and constantly felt physically horrible. I was devastated b/c I felt I was too young to worry about my health. I remember my doctor looking at my charts telling me to do what ever I was doing in 2005 b/c that was when I was most healthiest. Of course, when I was kick boxing with Kratai. I wished to find Kratai again-just ask my boyfriend- Kratai was all I could talk about but could never find. By the grace of God, I ran into Kratai at a random function and I knew my prayers had been answered. Kratai's husband is in the same business as my boyfriend so I nagged him to get her number(thanks Rubin and Allen). The rest is history. I truly enjoy Kratai's fitness program! She puts 100% effort in making sure you have all the tools to achieve your fitness goals. In the last three months, I have dropped a significant amount of inches and weight. Now, I have so much more energy and feel mentally and physically better than before! Kratai is no cake walk; she will challenge you to do your best and I wouldn't have it any other way. If your looking for a fitness program that will give you results and help you make healthier life choices, this is the fitness program for you! Pros: You get results Cons: Wear and tear on your shoes:) more

I started with Kratai on April 21, 2008. I found her through co-workers and thought that I would try her program since I had not been successful with so many other programs I have tried. I have been able to lose weight on my own, but have always gained the weight back or had difficulty adding a fitness routine to my dieting. Her program is completely different than any other program I have tried. She truly takes the time to talk to you and listen to what goals you may have for yourself. I actually look forward to my workouts with her, which is not an experience I have ever had with any other excercise programs. I really know that she cares about me has a person and wants me to succeed with my goals. Since I have started working out with Kratai in April I have lost a total of 14 inches and went from a size 12 to size 8. I have more energy than I have had in years, and I am so happy that I discovered Kratai. I would recommend her to anyone that really wants to get in shape and make positive changes for themselves. Pros: Personalized to your needs and fitness level Cons: Absolutely none! more

My first experience with Kratai was in 2002-2003 when she had her kickboxing studio in North Austin. She came highly recommended by friends at work who had successfully completed her ""Crunch Camp"". I went to her (then) starting out at a size 14/16 in clothes and weighing a little over 200 pounds. After completing two Crunch Camps (back to back), I became a size 10/12 and had lost a total of 27.5 inches.....\r I had a baby in 2004....and never shed the baby fat....I had to find Kratai again -- I knew she could get me motivated to lose this weight!\r I currently work out with Kratai in her 4:30 class.....and it hurts just like I remember (LOL). Those muscles feel GREAT to be working again....I am seeing definition in my arms and legs like before and my abdominal muscles are looking awesome! I KNOW without a doubt that my ""old"" body is still there and I am excited to have Kratai helping me reveal it again....\r \r She isn't easy....she's honest.....if you listen to Kratai and do what she says and don't cheat -- you will win.....you will gain energy like never before and you will love who you see looking back at you in the mirror --- you have to work for it.....but IT'S WORTH IT (nothing that comes easy is every truly gratifying.....). Kratai truley cares about her clients b/c to her they aren't just clients --- she wants to see you succeed with fitness and with treating yourself good --- she has the knowledge and YOU have the desire.....so call her (you won't regret it!) Pros: you will be stronger and healthier Cons: you will be sore! :-)~ more

If you want to create a new healthier, stronger, more confident you, then this is the program for you. I truly can say it was a life changing experience for me. Kratai's program ""Power of Six"" is so incredible. It is a holistic approach to getting healthy and in shape while taking into consideration ones inner self. Kratai makes you feel like you can accomplish anything and after completing this program I now know that I can!. With this program, you don't feel like just another body in a work out class, it is individualized and with the one on one meetings with Kratai, you not only get a personalized plan but Kratai's passion for what she does. She is one of the best trainers that I have worked out with and I have worked out with a few. I highly recommend Kratai and any one of her programs that she offers. You will not be dissatisfied!!! You will be a new person!!!!! Pros: Individualized, Focuses on all aspects(Holisitc approach including Nutrition), Emotional Support System more

I was so blessed to have met Kratai a few years ago at a previous program and when it was over I was devastated!! I tried several places to find a comparable workout to Kratai's and was not successful. I was enlightened to know she was putting together an amazing program called Power of 6 and was fortunate to get into her lunch class (which was so perfect for my schedule). I was unfortunate to have broken my leg days before we were to start our program and amazed at how willing Kratai was to work with my as an individual to make sure I got out as much as I could with my temporary handicap. I was able to treat my leg with herbs from recommendations from Kratai and Dr. Tsui who is also a part of the program. By the last month I was able to do everything everyone else in class was doing and saw extraordinary results in my body. I lost several inches and pounds and have increased my strength. Kratai's praising kept me going and made my self esteem so much better! HIGHLY recommend Kratai's Fitness!! more

Kratai and I met by fate. I do repairs to damaged floors from insurance claims. It just so happen to be Kratia?s home. I was instantly impressed with her demeanor and professionalism. I had a need to get my life in order and lose some weight; I was tired of carrying around. After a few visits I chose to join her power of 6-lunch program. I received from her, not only strength and new healthy habits for my body, but a renewed strength in my heart. Kratai is real, and she is good at what she does to encourage, build up, and help you to become a healthier more well rounded person. In your Mind, Body, and Soul. Thank you Kratai!\r Tiffany Crawford\r Pros: Easy access from town. more

I've been traing with Kratai in the power lunch program for over 2 months now. I've lost inches, pounds, and I'm gaining strength and muscle. Working out with Kratai has become a part of my daily routine that I can't do without, and that I can't afford to do without for my health and well being. Not only am I stronger, I am eating healthier than ever before thanks to Kratai's encouragement and I am taking good vitamins on a daily basis. I love it that every class is different and you never know what to expect - it keeps it fresh and new and keeps your body changing. When we started I could only do 2 pushups without exhaustion, now I am doing 15 in a row! I plan to continue training with Kratai for the rest of this year as I get ready for my wedding - and I can't wait to see the results! It is one of the best and most worthwhile things I have ever done for myself. You can't afford not to. Pros: strength, vitality, weight loss, inches loss, confidence, health! Cons: you may be sore at times but it is worth it! more
