Superior Fitness

What an incredible gym! Owner and trainer Sam is extremely knowledgeable, motivating, and truly passionate about helping people reach their goals. He has completely changed the way I view working out and made fitness something I genuinely enjoy. I had never consistently worked out before joining, and have now been training there for over a year. The atmosphere is super welcoming, and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive and motivating place to train!

As a mom, I can honestly say Samuel and Don are so much more than fitness trainers—they are true educators and mentors. They focus on teaching proper technique, strength, speed, and recovery the right way before ever just adding weights. Their knowledge and motivation give teenagers the confidence and foundation they need to grow safely and successfully. I’ve loved seeing what my son, Brayden, has gained—not just in strength, but in confidence and discipline.

Superior Fitness is an incredible place for young athletes to learn, improve, and be encouraged!

I am a member at Superior Fitness and started training with Sam this year. I can confidently say that this has been the best gym/ training experience I have ever had. Sam is extremely dedicated to his clients and has great workouts tailored to each individual person.

A few years ago, I broke my ankle in two places and PT wasn't enough to help me get back to normal function. I researched gyms in the area and chose Sam/Superior Fitness because he specializes in rehab training. I was skeptical about going to the gym. I was not a gym/fitness person ever. I hated to even sweat. Sam was patient with me, we started with 30 minute sessions and worked our way up to an hour twice a week. I credit my ability to walk like I used to to Sam's expertise. Sam has begrudgingly made me enjoy going to the gym (not that I'll admit it to him). I trust Sam with not just training myself, but my parents and my kids too. Superior Fitness is the only place I can envision working out. It's clean, not too big, unintimidating and everyone is friendly and helpful. It really is a welcoming setting and I'm thankful to have found a gym home and a stronger version of myself.

I started training with Sam about 8 months after my knee replacement. I was frustrated with my recovery to that point, and I needed help to get my body to move right again! Now I'm 8 months into a weekly training program, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results.
Sam has a wealth of knowledge and creativity in his instruction that has helped me not only physically, but also mentally with improved confidence. He challenges me with hard work and coaches me through each exercise until the movement is right. I have only positive things to say about Superior Fitness and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get stronger and move better!

Started a personal fitness journey about 4 months ago. I knew I would never be able to push myself into a stronger, healthier body without the help of a trained professional. I found Sam Frederick purely by word of mouth from a local business owner, Dana (360 Nutrition). I loved how fit and muscular Dana looked. Dana told me that this “great guy Sam” is her strength & conditioning coach. Dana told me to follow through & it’s absolutely the BEST life decision that I have made in 20 years! Seriously !

Consultation is the exciting and humbling 1st step. As an expert in strength & conditioning coaching, Sam identified exactly where my strengths and weaknesses are as he had me go through a series of exercises (lots and lots of weakness 🤣). The consultation is super humbling, but it’s an opportunity to set & envision personal goals.

Who truly inspired me to get started ? Lynn Andrews, CRNA, my colleague, inspired me to start this journey because at the age of 40, she started body building! It’s truly never too late to get fit because it’s the ultimate investment in yourself. Getting fit is the investment in your health that shows self respect and ensures graceful, strong 💪🏽 💪🏻& beautiful aging for women and men!

As a woman in my 50s, I knew it was time to FINALLY invest in myself after investing in everyone else for what has seemed like the majority of my life (family, patients, church and community). I was tired in the evening…too tired, and it was time for a big life change. Aa woman, you know what happens when you reach your 50s… ick, yep, menopause 😩with all the challenges of thyroid, slowed metabolism, decreasing strength, change in hormones, change in weight, and personal concerns about aging well with inner and outer strength & beauty.

What have I noticed since I started this journey ? Muscle definition, greater brain focus & elevated mood, greater physical and mental strength, greater flexibility, stress reduction, significant decrease in blood pressure, and I’m NOT tired anymore ! What else ? I smile a lot more and I’m more likely to pose for a photo. I stand up taller. My posture gets better and better, as my core gets stronger and stronger.

This commitment has not only checked the box for a personal goal, it’s become the after work activity I cannot live without and look forward to. I don’t ever plan on changing this routine of working out with Sam 3x a week. Why would I ? It’s changed my entire mind and body for the better !

If you live in Granbury, or close to Granbury, I highly recommend Sam as a strength & conditioning coach. He works with teens and adults. He provides rehab type exercises for those who have suffered sport injuries and/or have had surgery as a result of sports injuries. ( He was a strength & conditioning coach for Texas Tech for over 10 years !)

Best part of working with Sam? You will inherit a motivational nickname. When I started with Sam, I held all the pressure and tension from work and years of a difficult marriage in my neck and shoulders. Sam told me day 1, your name is “UPTIGHT” until we get your shoulders down to where God designed them to be ! 🤣 Well, my shoulders are back down to the normal place where they should rest and my neck has never felt better !

On a “whim” on day, after driving past the gym a few times, I called…Samuel answered and I said I would stop by.
There began a new journey of my life.
Granted, I’ve not been consistent from day one BUT!!
Not once have I ever felt inconsistent since joining this family.
Superior Fitness is exactly that.
It is about you as an individual.
It is about feeling comfortable and confident.
We can laugh, joke, encourage each other knowing there is zero judgement.

In my case I’m a problem child and it doesn’t matter. Samuel knows how to change my plan w/ a snap of a finger.

Between Sam and Don; who is also awesome in his knowledge and advanced skillset, I know for a fact that I have found the exact place for not only improving my health/life, but my mindset.

Not enough stars for these guys🤩

Excellent gym to attend! Great atmosphere, great staff, and great old school equipment. Will definitely continue to come workout here, especially with their reasonable pricing! Keep up the great work guys.

Great place for personal training. I am not a fan of working out, but Sam makes it fun and effective. Not only am I getting stronger and in shape, but my body feels better. 10/10 recommend!
