Livingston Gym Earns Four Best Gym Awards and 2023 Weight Loss Honor

Vickery’s Sweat Shop Collects Four Best Gym Titles and a 2023 Weight Loss Counseling Award in Polk County

Livingston, United States – May 6, 2026 / Vickery’s Sweat Shop /

Vickery’s Sweat Shop, the 24 hour gym Livingston TX residents have relied on for years, has added a fifth piece of hardware to its record, collecting its 2023 Best Gym title alongside a 2023 Weight Loss Counseling Award from Polk County voters. The dual recognition marks the facility’s fourth Best Gym win overall, having previously claimed the title in 2019, 2020, and 2022, and its first dedicated counseling honor – a milestone that reflects a deliberate expansion of the gym’s health services beyond traditional fitness equipment.

A Record Built on Consistency

Winning a community-voted award once can be attributed to momentum. Winning it four times across five years points to something more structural. Vickery’s Sweat Shop has maintained its standing as the top fitness center Livingston Texas has recognized by continuously upgrading its programming and technology rather than holding steady after each win.

The facility operates on a 24/7 access model, meaning members hold keycard entry at all hours without staff dependency. That structural availability, combined with a class schedule built around Les Mills programming, gives members a range of structured options that extend well beyond open floor time. Current Les Mills offerings include BodyCombat, BodyPump, GRIT, Sprint, and The Trip, alongside Zumba, yoga, and Pilates – formats that serve members ranging from competitive athletes managing intensity to beginners building their first consistent routine.

The Weight Loss Counseling Award and the Science Behind It

The 2023 Weight Loss Counseling Award is the recognition that most directly reflects a programming shift at Vickery’s Sweat Shop over the past several years. The facility employs a master’s-level nutritionist who works directly with members on individualized nutrition planning – not generalized advice, but structured guidance calibrated to each member’s body composition data.

That data comes from InBody body composition analysis, a clinical-grade measurement tool that goes beyond standard scale weight to break down muscle mass, body fat percentage, and hydration levels by segment. Results feed directly into nutrition and training recommendations, creating a feedback loop between what members do on the floor and what they consume outside the facility.

Myzone heart-rate technology runs alongside InBody to give members and coaches real-time and historical effort data during training sessions. The combination of objective body composition measurement and live heart-rate tracking gives personal trainers at Vickery’s Sweat Shop a documented baseline from which to build and adjust programs over time.

“Earning four Best Gym titles and the 2023 Weight Loss Counseling Award in the same year as our fourth gym win confirms what our staff has worked toward – building a facility in Polk County where the science actually supports the effort members put in every day,” said Tiffani Vickery, Owner of Vickery’s Sweat Shop. “The InBody data alone has changed how our nutritionist and trainers collaborate, and members are seeing measurable differences in their body composition within the first 90 days.”

Facility Features Supporting the Full Member Experience

Beyond programming and technology, Vickery’s Sweat Shop has built out recovery and accessibility infrastructure that addresses common barriers to consistent gym attendance. An infrared sauna is available to members for post-training recovery, a service that has become a retention factor for members who use the facility as a daily health routine rather than an occasional workout destination.

A kids’ club operates during staffed hours, removing the scheduling conflict that prevents many parents in Livingston and the broader Polk County area from maintaining consistent attendance. The facility’s personal training staff works across all age ranges and fitness backgrounds, including members managing chronic conditions or returning to exercise after injury.
