About & The Philosophy of Raw Power Gym, Austin, Texas
Established in 2009, Raw Power was founded by husband and wife team Shannon and Seneca Sarnella to help Austinites in Lakeway, Bee Cave, Westlake, and Dripping Springs achieve their true strength and potential. Rejecting fleeting exercise fads, they adopted a "old school" approach, focusing on fundamental techniques to deliver fast, effective results while minimizing injury risk. Their programs integrate exercise and diet into busy schedules, emphasizing personalized training and goal-focused plans.
Building a supportive community, Raw Power has evolved into a family that celebrates each member's success. Recently, they welcomed business partner Kyle, who shares their vision for health and fitness. Together, they are expanding Raw Power Gym with a new location in Spicewood, TX, to continue offering exceptional training and support.
ABOUT THE OWNERS
SHANNON, SENECA, and KYLE

Shannon and Seneca believe that everyone has the ability to be fit and healthy, and having the right support network in place is the best way to get there. That’s why they partner with only the finest trainers and coaches in the Spicewood area and take a holistic approach to serving their clients. Not just weight training, but nutrition counseling, lifestyle choices and helping to instill confidence and an unbreakable mindset in everyone they coach.
Recently Shannon and Seneca have brought on board a new business partner who has been working alongside them from 8 years at Raw Power. Kyle Heine is the newest addition to Raw Power Gym and the 3rd partner who brings an additional 10 years of experience in the industry to the table. Not only do they share the same ideas when it comes to health and fitness but have made a big step together in opening a NEW location in Spicewood, TX!

Both Shannon and Sarnella are of the mindset that in order to be successful in the fitness arena it must be a lifestyle and not just a job. That’s why Raw Power employs trainers and coaches that share this philosophy and exhibit the same passion for helping others as they do.
Shannon is also a proud mother and wife and understands the challenges facing busy women today. She’s walked the path you’re on and has learned how to balance family, fitness and career at the same time. It really is possible to have it all, and Shannon can show you how.
Why not call or stop by our Spicewood location today and make an appointment with Shannon? She’d loved to share her wisdom and help you get fit and fabulous no matter what stage of life you’re in.
