Testimonials
Amid is easily the best trainer I've ever worked with. He is extraordinarily motivating and always provides me with a workout that caters to my requests and body, while also pushing my limits.
-Diana Skellenger - Austin, Texas
I have always considered myself to be tenacious and competitive, especially coming from a background as an NCAA athlete. That said, Amid pushes me (and everyone else who has had the pleasure of taking his classes) harder and farther than any other trainer, class, or coach I've ever experienced. Period. He is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate people I've ever met, with an added bonus of being naturally charismatic and an absolute comedian! The levity he brings is always welcomed, particularly while being pushed to one's breaking point; I often find myself cracking up when I would otherwise be gritting my teeth in pain! His combination of an insatiable curiosity towards improvement, raw passion / genuine care for people, and free-spirited humor is not only unique, but also highly addicting. This addiction is clearly shared by many, as demonstrated by his cult-like following! Whether you seek strength training, high-intensity interval training, kickboxing, plyometrics, a custom program of personal training, or any combination of these, you should look no further than Amid Archibald. Just be prepared to work hard, check your excuses at the door, and SWEAT!

Amid keeps the motivation high with energy-intensive workouts that challenge me from week to week. He doesn’t just tell me what to do but is there at each step ensuring that I keep proper form during each phase of our workout sessions. In addition to our training sessions Amid works with me to develop weekly plans that help achieve my goals.
-Amy Bruno - Austin, Texas
Though he brings ridiculous positive energy to training, I most appreciate that Amid is observant, that he remembers where you are in the long arc of what you need and seek to accomplish over time, and that — after seven years of training — we still have never done the same exercise two sessions in a row.
-David Heymann - Austin, Texas
Amid is the trainer I never knew I needed. I look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday when he comes to our office and gives us the best 45 minute workout I've had since his last visit. His ability to mix cardio with strength training, all while keeping the energy light hearted and fun is unparalleled.

I've never worked out with Amid but he is scary so he seems to get the job done.
