About the Owners

Co-owners Marc and Tracy Frazier have been in the gym business collectively for 30 years. Marc has over 27 years of experience in strength training that began for him while working at Austin's Texas Athletic Club in 1979. In 1986, TAC closed and Marc moved on to Mike Graham's newly opened Hyde Park Gym, where he honed his training techniques and built gym equipment for 20 years. Included in the mix is over 10 years of massage therapy / injury management and it is this unique combination along with a genuine care for his clients and gym members that earned him Austin Chronicle's Best Trainer with Hearts and Smarts in 2004. Indefatigable, warm and infinitely curious, Tracy brings her background in psychology, education and business administration to SCAC. She handles the gym's business affairs and creates new class programs.
