  5. Bodies By Design Workout Room, a fitness facility in Pflugerville, focuses "on small-group personal training." Ninette Winston, master trainer, first opened the venue 21 years ago. During that time, Winston moved between several local locations before "settling at the spot" on 15635 Vision Dr., Ste. 103 "13 years ago." The location is run by trainers Fred Sassani and Donovan Owens, who "grew up in Pflugerville and played football together at Pflugerville High School." Sassani said, "he believes people are at their best when working together toward a common goal" but specified that "ultimately, Bodies By Design is an environment best suited for those who are serious about their goals." He concluded by saying, "Everyone that comes here is super serious about what they're doing... If people don't show up here, if we don't see them within 48 hours, they're getting a call... because accountability is a big thing they ask for when they come here, so we do keep them accountable."

From my notebook:

  • "The Pflugerville Fire Department received this thank you note from a resident at one of the fires that the district responded to this past Friday in Williamson County. 'Just taking a moment to thank the brave emergency responders to the fire at County Road 198 and Apache Pass Friday afternoon. Receiving a call from my panicked wife and a picture of a wall of smoke outside our window is one thing I did not expect that afternoon. It was comforting arriving home to find the blaze almost fully extinguished, but most of all, my family and home safe. Thank you for what you do every day to protect our communities. God bless your loved ones who await your safe return home each day. God bless your loved ones who await your safe return home each day.' We are proud to serve #BecauseWeCare." (Facebook)
