What we reported

Owner John Kelly relocated his business in May from 5114 Balcones Woods Drive, Austin, to off Research Boulevard near Oak Knoll Drive. He offers personal training for all ages, flexibility classes and massage therapy. Kelly said his goal is not to get clients to exercise more but to help them find the right amount to produce change so they can continue to enjoy other activities.

The latest

The Austin location was the second for the company, which started in New Orleans. Kelly said relocating his business allowed him to not only buy new equipment but also hire additional trainers. Kelly Personal Training also began offering stretching classes and massage therapy in 2016.

What’s next

In 2017, Kelly said he is considering offering more classes and plans to add more trainers to the business. Each trainer is required to undergo a months-long internship before coming on board full-time. 12518 Research Blvd., Ste.
