Raw is my happy place! I have been a member about 12 years. I've tried other gyms but this is just the best. It is a family atomosphere and everyone encourages you even when you want to quit. Love, love this place

Absolutely love this place. I have been working out at Raw for a few years. I love the 30 min workouts. Members are friendly and very much like family. The trianers are motivating and willing to help with any issues or additional support you may need. They also have supplements that are optional and would highly recommend.

Did not have a good experience. I do not recommend it for beginners you have a high chance of injury and you are on your own in the workouts. You could be doing the exercise wrong and no one to correct you and instead get hurt. Not only that but my first meeting with the instructor was such a scam as the guy insisted that I buy their whole package of products and when I said no he didn’t like it and used reverse psychology on me using it to his advantage which was such a horrible feeling. If you are already into working out then you’ll be fine if not I do not recommend it. Unfortunately, their value is on their expensive products and not their service.

Pros: You will lose weight with the very strict diet and the intense workout
Cons: you will gain the weight back eventually if you go back to eating normal.
Trainers do not care if you have achey knees, or bad back
Peak fitness trainers will give you a sensible diet and will push you hard within your limits.

If you're looking to get into shape and meet amazing people this is the place for you. All the trainers learn your name so when you walk in you feel very welcomed. Very fast paced 30 minute workouts that shred the fat away, seriously. The 6 week challenged helped me get back into working out and to lose 21lbs of fat.

My time with Raw fitness was short due to scheduling issues, but the time spent at Raw Fitness definitely pushed me in ways I’ve never done before. Staff is kind and the workout sessions are intense. If you are looking for a better change for yourself and want to push yourself to the limit, this is the place to go.

You need to be careful about choosing this place....the workouts are not for beginners or people that haven't exercised in a while...they start hard and they don't slow down...is up to you to listen to your body and slow down other wise...you'll end up with an injury.

I joined their 6 week challenge and met my goal. The trainers are amazing but you will hate them during those 30 minutes. Haha!
The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because it is too expensive to join on a month to month basis.
Unfortunately I'm better off spending less than $30 at any other gym.
Miss going to RAW.

RAW is RAWSOME!
I've always struggled with losing weight, I would go to the gym and "workout" but never really get results. It was until I joined the 6 week challenge at RAW that my life changed for good. I was able to lose 21.6 lbs. in six weeks. It was incredible, I felt healthier, more energized and best of all I motivated others who saw my success. RAW is the place to go to for results. The trainers push you, and motivate you to meet your goal, I just feel great being there. RAW is now part of my daily routine, and I encourage anyone who wants results to join and make it a part of their life as well. You won't regret it! Thanks RAW and RAW family! :)

Raw is not your average gym. It is a transformation center. It is known for the 6 week challenge. I am a witness to plenty of success stories =) I myself have done the 6 week challenge twice. The first time I lost -22lbs. The second time I lost -19.2lbs I will tell you it is not easy but it is possible. You are on a meal plan, which at no point did I feel like I was starving. The work outs are 30min but are intense. For results you have to give it 100% and FTDP (Follow The Damn Plan) or it will NOT work. One thing I will always say about this awesome place is it helps you get stronger physically and mentally. The entire Raw staff is awesome =) the trainers will challenge you, encourage you, push you, they care...like truly care. Now they tell you straight up it is not a place for slackers, talkers, quitters and excuse makers..and I AGREE. =) I am proud to say I am a Raw addict =)

RAW Fitness is unlike any other gym, and as such, is sometimes misunderstood. They run things very differently than your typical gym. In my experience, the staff have been incredible, supportive, encouraging, and if you work hard and follow the plan, you WILL be successful. I lost 30 pounds during my first challenge, and while I have struggled from time to time, I have never given up. I have never been as committed or consistent in exercise as I have been since joining RAW, so I know I will continue to find success and transformation. The RAW staff and members are like a family, encouraging success and pushing you to go further. The energy is contagious, the workouts are NEVER dull and boring, and the encouraging smiles and personal welcome you receive everyday help keep you on track, knowing you are not just a number, but a name. Thank you, RAW Fitness.

Never ever in my life had I found a gym where I find myself unusually motivated to attend on a daily basis. Most importantly the Raw Firness team is truly caring, helpful and highly motivational. The spirits are high and the gym culture is welcoming and friendly, family type environment. Octavio is dedicated and determined to see ALL his members succeed in all their lifetime, long life fitness goals. He pushes to make his members aware of their full potential and it has definitely worked for me. I am getting many compliments and fell the healthiest in my mid 40's than I have ever felt. My life has changed for the best and I will continue coming to Raw because only Raw has made me feel strong, happy and healthy.

Raw fitness is like no other gym in El Paso, we are like a huge family that is always there for you. The trainers are the greatest they always push us to give 110% everyday. I've been going to Raw fitness for over 18 months now and it has completely changed my life. I've lost 60 lbs, down 4 sizes but most important is that I've changed my lifestyle. I can't get enough of this gym I love it and I would recommend it to anyone who is determined and motivated to change their life!

I have been a member at Raw for just over a year. I started at Raw as a participant of one of the free 6 week challenges. I was skeptical that I would be able to lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks, but I was able to lose 23.6 lbs in that time frame. In that year I am down 5 dress sizes and have lost lots of inches. The process works if you give it your all and you follow the meal plan. The trainers actually care about the clients and their success, you are not just a member number the trainers and front office staff know your name and greet you with an enthusiastic smile every time you come in.

Raw'Fitness saved my life. I truly mean that. I had given up hope of ever having any control on my health and weight. I was over 400 lbs and in January 2015 my doctor increased my blood pressure medication from 10 mg to 20 mg because I couldn't get it under control. In May 2015 I went to my daughters college graduation wearing a size 64L suit jacket that barely closed. I had no energy and was severely depressed. I missed family events and vacations because I couldn't do anything but make everyone around me miserable too. Then I went to an orientation at Raw for one of their six week challenges and that's were I learned that I could get control if I really wanted it and was ready to work for it. I remember after orientation going to Octavio Urias and asking to please give me a chance, that this was my last hope cause I tried everything else and failed. When I got the message a few days later that I was accepted I literally cried in my car. I knew this was it, if I failed then I was just going to sit on my couch and wait for the good lord to take me. I remember being scared my first day, thinking What if I can't do this, but I had to try. I went in with this mental picture that the trainers are going to be like drill sergeant's just screaming at us. But the first day totally blew me away, because I struggle during the exercises I'll never forget, One of the trainers, Daisy, coming to me and modifying the exercise so that I wouldn't injure myself. The trainer showed that they really cared about each one of us, they encourage us, motivate us, push us with Toughlove but at the same time they make sure that we were safe. I've been there just over 10 months now and have dropped 112 pounds and counting, since I started. I just bought a suit jacket that's a 48L down from the 64L of less than a year ago, my doctor took me off my blood pressure medication. I have energy, I'm stronger, and I feel like I'm alive again. So when I see people post things like this place is unreal they don't care, it's a scam. It really pisses me off, because I know The truth and that is if you're willing to work for it you can achieve it. Those the talk bad are people that have failed, it wasn't the system that failed them, it was just that they weren't mentally strong enough. So now they are trying to blame others for their failure, they need to look in the mirror and see who's really at fault. Does that mean they can't do it, no it doesn't but they have to be willing to work for it. Raw'Fitness is a no a bullshit zone, no excuse zone, you're not going to get coddled here, you're going to get Toughlove. You're going to learn to push yourself beyond your limits. We are all stronger than we think we are, but you have to push yourself to find out just how true that is. There are thousands of success stories here at Raw'Fitness, that is no BS. Many before me and maybe after me will succeed. So if you're ready to take control, if you're ready to get your life back, if you're ready to live a real life of health, fitness, energy, and a positive mindset , Then you need to come here and check it out. I've been blessed in so many ways here, that when they asked me to become part of the team I felt honored and grateful. So yes I do work here now, but my feelings would be the same even if I didn't. I want to give back and pay it forward. They did save my life after all!!! Now I want to help those that have given up like I had get their lives back. It's possible, if this 55yr old can do it, then anyone can!

My experience at Raw has been the most amazing. I don't know where even to begin how Raw gave me life. To start I have thyroid issues and have always been told that I would have issues losing weight and I would have to work 3 to 5 times harder than the ordinary person. I tried the pills, the herbal life, the water diets, slim fast, California diet, Adkins, well you get the picture if it claim the miracle I was on it. They worked for a while until I got tired of it and saw very few results. I spent years crying inside and pretending I was okay. One horrible comment said to me one day made me realized that I was only kidding myself. I prayed to God to send me an answer because I wanted to be healthy, fit and thin. and just like that I saw the success out of my Godson with Raw. I told my husband I wanted to try it. I just had to. I got more info from my godson and believe it or not I was scared out of my mind. But I told myself if this is my answer I will put all I can into it. Well I was ready and I got accepted. I cried into my 2 week but because I had realized how out of shape I was, I couldn't run, or jump, do a push up or hold a squad. But as I fought thru my six weeks challenge I was frustrated because I wanted so much more. Well the day of weight was here and guess what I went down 25.6 pound. I couldn't believe it. I then cried happy tears. I continue to work on my goal and are happy to say that I have dropped 55 pounds went from a size 22w to size 12. I AM ALIVE AGAIN. I can run, I can jump, I can hold my squad with weights. I can do push ups and so much more.
OH my and what can I say about the trainers, the staff, other raw family members and the owner. Nothing but the best. They are motivators, cheerleaders, inspirations in so many ways.
My 30 minutes of Raw are my joy. You know how I know this because my 45 minute commute to raw and 45 minute back home are no obstacles to me and it doesn't bother me to get up at 4am to get to the 5:30 am class so I can be at work by 8:45. I do this because I am in love with my transformation and getting healthier and stronger every week.
to rate RAW 5 stars is not enough for me. I give RAW 5 + + + + + + + + stars.

Raw has been a life changing commitment. No one said it was going to be easy, but definitely worth it. Results don't just happen, they are earned. But thankfully at Raw you are given an amazing opportunity to learn how to treat yourself right. The entire staff gives 100% of their time and efforts into helping anyone willing. Like the old saying goes, 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.' Raw has done everything in their power to make opportunities available, now its your turn to take advantage of what they have to offer and make a life style change!

I can only say that RAW fitness is truly my second home. Here, I found care, respect and true knowledge on how to become a better me. Owner and trainers are truly dedicated to deliver 100 % every time all the time. I had 15 years struggling to loose weight and at RAW fitness it was possible in only 6 weeks. It has been amuch spectacular year now, and I have been able to maintain my weight. I don't think I will ever go back to any of my previous gym experiences. Truly RAW!!!

Hoy quiero compartir mi experiencia en Raw fitness, por muchos años estuve intentando perder peso de diferentes maneras sin lograrlo, cuando escuche la experiencia favorable que tuvo mi hija, Alicia Alcarado y motivada por otra de mis hijas, Alondra Burciaga, accedí a registrarme para el challenge que estaba ofreciendo el Raw, todavía incrédula pero con mucha fe, me registre y fui aceptada y así con la motivación de sus entrenadores y mi actitud lo logre perdí 26.3 lbs en seis semanas, lo que por años no logre lo hice en 6 semanas, Gracias Octavio, todavía después de esto me ofrece la oportunidad de continuar con esta familia de six month car promo, es fabuloso es una experiencia maravillosa donde lo único que pierdes es grasa, kilos de peso, una familia motivadora! Y Octavio con ese deseo de cambio en el estilo de vida a personas en el Paso, creo que lo estás logrando! Felicidades Octavio por esa gran oportunidad que nos esta ofreciendo! (Emma Sanchez)

I loved Raw I believe if you are dedicated and put your mind and soul to it raw could be a life changing experience it's up to us to maintain the results and or keep going. We are the only ones to blame if results are good or not as for me it was a great experience yes I lost my money didn't make the challenge but loved it. Yes I stopped going other things got in the way but it was my fault no one else to blame. Octavio you have a great team of trainers and even tho I only got to work with Jackie who is a great trainer I know the rest of them are as great as she is. Hope that some day in the near future I get to go back because raw aside from being a gym it's a family looking and reaching for the same objective.

It's the best gym I have ever gone. It's the first that actually makes me go on a dairy basis. Yeah isn't easy, i did the 6 weeks challenge and the diet is hard but not impossible and you don't starve if you eat enough veggies. And yes I understand the girl who complains about the question thing and the FTDP is kind of annoying, but still the rules are clear since the beginning and if there's who has lost more than 30 pounds in the same six weeks I don't see why we should honor who couldn't accomplish the goal. In my case I lost 21.7 or something like that and I was wearing my tennis so whoever is complaining should be ashamed. You can't complain about what's write in a contract I mean if she would have lost 30 pounds I don't think she would be paying more as gratification.

My wife and I entered the 6 week challenge. Let me tell you all something, we were afraid to start and after the 3rd week we didn't meet the 10 lb make. Do we feel like sh.. YES! We do. After analysing the 3 weeks we could run, walk, and even feel great about my our selves. I think that is worth more than 300.00 dollars. I LOVE Raw fitness and it's trainers Jackie, Pilar,Lalo, luis, Silva and the others. Octavio you have something great for people that want to work and people that want to change! My wife and I passed out after the workouts in different days but I would not change it for anything and I would do it again.
Keep up the hard work Octavio: your gym is RAW for hard work,for hard people!!
Thanks for the change in our lifes!!

Awesome gym, they highly motivate individuals and push them so they can do their best. This is not for people that whine about not knowing how to do an excercise. The class is only 30 mins long so there is no time to baby sit everybody, if you have a question, make sure to talk to someone BEFORE the class and the staff will gladly help. I did the 6-week challenge and was able to lose 20.4 lbs through very hard work. I would highly recommend this place to anybody.

Raw is an awesome Gym!
Don't listen to negative people. She should have been thanking you for helping her lose 19.8 pounds. There is more value in losing 19.8 pounds then the money she paid. You have to be strict with the 20 pounds because then everyone will want their money back that gets close to 20 but not quite.

I signed up for the 6 week weight loss challenge. Now this challenge works for a lot of people. They're able to lose 20+ pounds in those 6 weeks. It's grueling work and you learn to admire everyone who's gone through the program to get to where they are.
You put down a $300 dollar deposit and once you sign that paper to do that, there is no going back (even if you change your mind before starting). If you are able to lose the 20lbs you receive your deposit back and are encouraged to return to the gym for another 20lbs.
The challenge involves going to their gym a minimum of 4 times a week and a meal plan. You also have two required weigh-ins (Mondays and Thursdays). If at the 3 week mark you haven't lost at least 10lbs, you are disqualified. You can still attend the gym, but you lose the deposit.
That's the good part.
Here's the honest part.
What's not fair is that they don't disclose everything about their program. Sure they say the diet is hard, but they fail to explain just how limiting it is. To give you an idea it's a modified paleo diet that restricts you to about 1200 or less calories a day. This includes a 3 day cleanse where you are only allowed to eat vegetables, fruit, and a handful of nuts (did I mention you have to attend work out on at least one of those days). I'd be lying if I told you that I felt at all energized or good during those days. I'd also be lying if I told you that I wasn't highly irritable the rest of the days on the diet.
The diet is the diet, you can choose not to do it, but you probably won't get the exaggerated results everyone else gets. Another thing to dislike is you are discouraged from asking questions about their diet. "Why can't I eat salt?" "Follow the Damn Plan." "Is there a reason we use papaya or grapefruit for the cleanse?" "Follow the Damn Plan." You will learn to hate those words if you're someone who asks questions.
As for the workouts, they're only 30 minutes. Doesn't sound too bad right? Well it wouldn't be if you learned the proper techniques. You are taught how to do a proper squat, and a proper push-up. You are shown how to do certain exercises during the workout, but not really. Then again its hard to learn the proper technique in class of a about 30-40 people. I can tell you that during their workout I tore my rotator cuff because I wasn't doing one of their exercises properly. They need to take time out of their program to properly show you the exercises, but they don't. They throw you into the deep end and very rarely make concessions if you're not at that level. For example, they want you to a bicycle without teaching you how to do a proper V-sit. They want you to go fast and hard even if you've never done the exercise or have any knowledge of it. They DO NOT help you build up from beginning. They expect you to do their exercises their way no exceptions.
But perhaps the worse of it all was the lack of support from the Owner and his receptionist. My first weigh-in I lost one pound. One pound for a week of hunger and hard work. You know the first thing I heard, "You're not doing the plan." I can tell you the anger I felt surpassed the disappointment. Every weigh-in was one pound lost. And hey, for me, it was enough, but for them it wasn't. The only advice I was given was "Do the diet." I never got anything more than that. I had to hear from a fellow work-out buddy that I should do extra cardio since the exercises were more strength-based.
I did not complete the challenge. I lost 5lbs, but it wasn't enough. I tore my rotator cuff and my doctor advised me to not to return. My self esteem took a blow that it shouldn't have. I lost 5lbs and I'm pretty proud of that fact. If you go to Raw fitness, be prepared to hear that your best is not enough.
