Revelation Fitness Write-Up in Austin Fit Magazine

Revelation Fitness’ Mariah MacDonald came to Austin three years ago with a vision.

"I was running a gym in Washington, DC that featured my Physique Transformation Program to all its personal training clients. The results were stellar, which created this magical atmosphere that attracted bodybuilders and fitness-types, local personalities and socialites, and out-of-shape, looking-to-make-a-change clients – all under one roof. For women, a size 10 to a size 0, or a size 12 to a size 4 in 12 Weeks was standard. Even ladies who started with us in a size 20 could expect to be a size 4/6 in 24 Weeks. For men 28% to 8% bodyfat, or 18% to 5% bodyfat in 12 Weeks was considered norm. Since clients’ results were so dramatic, the gym continually attracted freshly committed people of all shapes and sizes, which in turn fueled the enthusiasm of the place. There was this belief that anyone could do it – and so you’d have bodybuilders taking time from their workout to support and encourage new guests who might otherwise be intimidated. I was 26 years old and bright-eyed and envisioned replicating that atmosphere by bringing the Physique Transformation Program to Austin, the nation’s Fit Capitol.”

And reproduce – indeed, trump – that vision Mariah has.

Revelation Fitness, the embodiment of Mariah’s dream, has garnered a reputation in town for dramatic body transformations in just 12 Weeks. Mariah has partnered with three other like-minded trainers: Jim Nettles, Atticus Rowe, and Jesse O’Brien – to offer goal setting, nutrition, weight-training, and cardio programming to clients in both an in-home and boot camp format.

“What’s exciting is we are really starting to see the fruits of our labor,” Mariah says. “You get one year’s worth of incredible transformations under your belt and people say, ‘Ok maybe those people were just special’. The second year Austin really started to stop and listen. Now we’re at a point where we pick up the phone and clients say, “Hi I’d like to be sub-10% bodyfat for my wedding in three months - when do I start?’”
