One of the best crossfit boxes I have worked out at. Great community and great coaches. All the coaches are very helpful and help you through your movements and workouts. Right focus on your posture and also push you when you need some extra motivation. BatCity has one of a kind rewards program where you get swag for attending classes, which is pretty cool. If you are skeptical, visit during one of their Sunday free community class or send an email to them. read more

I have been a member at Bat City for almost 10 months now. Before starting here, I had no previous athletic background, had never played sports, etc. I say this so that y'all know I started at ground zero! The coaching staff are wonderful and have been so helpful along the way. Linda is one of my favorites, though all the coaches are very knowledgeable so you are in good hands. Safety and form are of utmost important to them. They were really helpful in giving me workout modifications when I first started. I love this place! read more

Bat City Crossfit - Awesome space! - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Austin, Texas

I did boot camp for a year, and while I liked it, I felt like I wasn't making as much progress as I wanted to. We did the thing where you bring your own set of dumbbells, so you're either working with too light a weight for some movements (and not making gains) or too heavy a weight for other movements (and increasing your risk of injury). Plus, some of the boot camp locations had over 50 people at a workout and it was just too chaotic. I had tried Crossfit at a couple of other gyms but had had some poor experiences. At one place, they played ear-deafening heavy metal during every workout. Look, I don't mind some heavy metal once in a while, but not all the time, every time, and not played so loudly that it feels like it's going to cause hearing loss. At another Crossfit location, I actually had a coach once yell "KEEP GOING! DON'T STOP TO DRINK WATER! PUSH YOURSELF!" Unfortunately, it's coaches like that that might give Crossfit a bad reputation. Needless to say, that was my last day there. But Bat City is totally different, and it is a GREAT place to try, especially if you are nervous about Crossfit or it's your first time. First off, the rates are very reasonable and probably the best I've seen in all of Austin. Plus, you can earn your way to discounts by visiting over 100 times. Second, the coaches demo proper alignment in every movement, offer modifications, and don't yell at you if you need to hydrate or take a break. Everyone is welcoming and Coach Dominic is very encouraging. The only competitive vibe is the one you set against yourself. Don't get turned off by the negative stories you hear about Crossfit (it's unsafe, it's just for super-fit people, etc. etc.). Those are individuals' viewpoints (some of whom have never even tried Crossfit) and do not reflect this gym or the sport at large. Just like anything else, you have to shop around to find the right fit for you, but this place should be your first stop. read more

I've dropped in on Bat city a few times and I've enjoyed every time! They are accommodating and even though their space is small, they have made it work in all the classes I've been in. They seem to be quite popular and their members have always been friendly when I've come by, and the coaches have been helpful. If I were to move to Austin (and depending on where I lived) they would be one of my top choices for CrossFit gyms. read more

I've only been here a week and already can't say enough good things about Bat City. My old CrossFit box closed recently and I spent over a month researching and doing trial classes in search of a new home. In all, I tried 8 boxes from North Central all the way up to Leander, and this one came out on top. COACHING: 5/5 The coaching here is phenomenal. At a lot of the other boxes I tried, the coaches were perfectly content to write the WOD up on the board, demo the movements, and then sit back and text on their phones while you work out. Not so at this place. Dom, the evening coach, is always attentive and providing feedback on form and technique to each member throughout the class. You get a lot of individual attention, and there's never a moment where you feel like you're bothering someone by asking questions. Not only is Dom extremely knowledgeable, he also keeps the classes fun. PROGRAMMING: 5/5 After just 7 days, we've covered so much breadth and depth in our WODs that I've set PRs almost every day. It feels like just the right blend of long metcon workouts like Girls and Hero WODs mixed with lifting work to continue improving strength and technique. Other places I tried felt like they focused too much on one thing or another when CrossFit is supposed to be "constantly varied", or there was just a complete lack of intensity that left me underwhelmed at the end of every day. Here you'll see balanced programming that works on strength and conditioning simultaneously and gives you plenty of both. COMMUNITY: 5/5 Once again, only 7 days in and it already feels like home. This was a big deal for me because my friends at my old box were like family to me, and I knew I wouldn't enjoy CrossFit as much if I couldn't find that in my new place. What I found here is a vibrant community with lots of consistent, dedicated members so that there are always familiar faces. Everyone I've met so far has been friendly and welcoming, and everyone pushes each other to succeed just as much as the coaches do. FACILITY: 4/5 Knocking one point here because it gets damn hot in there even with all the fans blowing (but it's also Texas in July right now, so that's almost impossible to avoid). Stronger A/C aside, everything else you could ask for is there: plenty of gear including strongman gear, a fridge full of FitAid that you can take from whenever you want (they bill it to your account so you don't have to carry cash), protein you can also buy on site, great music, and they're expanding into the adjacent room later this year so there'll be even more space. VALUE: 6/5 Not is this already one of the most affordable gyms in the area, they also stack on rewards and membership discounts the more WODs you attend. I think this is an awesome system since it rewards you for working harder and becoming part of the community and just adds to the investment you're making by doing CrossFit in the first place. Plus, they include a free membership to Beyond The Whiteboard if you're a member here which is great for tracking your progress. This is without a doubt the most bang you'll get for your CrossFit buck in North Austin. I highly recommend checking this place out whether you're new to CrossFit or a veteran. The drop-in fee goes toward your first month's membership if you sign up, so there's no risk in trying it out first if you want to sign up but you're like me and need to try before you buy. read more

I've been to Bat City a few times and let me tell ya, this is a very positive environment. I really loved it here. The instructors are very helpful and everyone in the classes are very friendly. They remember you by first name, which is awesome because my name isn't the easiest to remember. The instructors are very helpful with teaching you proper form and correcting your movements. I really appreciate that. I see a lot of potential here for this little awesome gym and I definitely would come back here to train in the future. read more

Bat City has welcomed me with open arms. I am working in austin for the foreseeable future on a project and needed a box to join to WOD 3-4x a week. From the start, Tommy has been great. He was responsive, understood my situation where I needed some sort of membership that was more than a drop in, yet affordable. He was able to work with me and get me all set up. Lisa is a great instructor and knowledgeable on how to improve your health overall. I wish I had the opportunity to meet more members of the box, but attending the 5 AM classes, the size is small. So far so good! read more

TLDR: Sign up, great community/coaches, unlimited, beer North Austin's best kept secret... let's spread the word! I wanted to find a location which worked with my schedule and not the other way around. Also none of that "you pay for X times a week price" nonsense.. I spent 1-2 months trying out different boxes to get a vibe of each (coaches and community) and decided to call Bat City Crossfit home. Not only is the crew spectacular, we're all one happy family there. They offer Crossfit, Power lifting and Strong man classes all under the same roof. If I'm not mistaken, it comes with the overall crossfit price, not addition (correct me if I'm wrong Bat City peeps). To close out last few great perk that I love about Bat City Crossfit is: - UNLIMITED access - you can go how many times you want - Free month of xfit after every 100 workouts - Gas station next door has a HUGE selection of craft beers read more

I have been out of shape for awhile and was nervous to start crossfit. Bat City Crossfit was very welcoming, friendly, and understanding of my fitness level. Tommy and Cindy taught me the basics and I now attend 3 days a week with Josh who is an awesome coach. I would highly recommend giving Bat City a try no matter what your fitness level is. The coaches are great and so are the other members. Your body will thank you! read more

I've been training at BCCF for almost two years. I guess you could say it's getting pretty serious. This place has something for everyone. Want to get stronger? There are strength and power lifting classes for that. Want to do strongman? Our program has qualified five athletes for nationals in the past two years. Want to become a better Olympic lifter? Or oly team will break your lifts into micro-progressions, rebuild them, and add kilos to your totals. Or just want to do CrossFit to become a fitter, sexier version of yourself? Our classes are challenging, our members are welcoming and supportive, and our facility just expanded to give you everything you want and need. Come check it out. UPDATE 8/16/18 They discontinued their strongman, olympic lifting, and powerlifting/strength programs. They seem to be focusing on just crossfit and cardio. Sad. read more

Been a member @ Bat City For about a year and a half and I've had such a great experience. The coaches are awesome and I love all the members! The owners are extremely approachable and down to Earth. If you're looking to get a good sweat in, join A$AP Rocky and get swole read more

Just started at Bat City Crossfit less than 2 months ago and I really enjoy the vibe. Everyone says hi and everyone supports each other throughout the workout. I've never worked out this consistently my whole life so they're doing something right! read more

I started at Bat City when I first moved to Austin and I instantly fell in love with the community here. I love working out here. The coaches are amazing. They are all so passionate and make everyone feel so welcome. The coaches and members are so encouraging and will help push you to do your best. Whether it's your first time trying crossfit or you are years in, this is the box you want to be at. read more

There's simply no better value to be found. I moved here over 2 years ago from one of the supposed "premier" boxes because I could go from just twice a week to _unlimited_ and still pay significantly less. I stayed because of the great coaching and atmosphere. Add in Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman classes, and I've got a one-stop shop right in my neighborhood. #batcitycrossfit read more

I've been working out at Bat City 3 times a week for almost three months. Dom is a great instructor. He goes each exercise to make sure you kmow how it is correctly done and watches close through the workout to make sure your for stay on track. This has been some of the best exercise I have ever done. The member are friendly and supportive encouraging each other throughout the course of the class. I highly recommend this gym. read more

Started going here back on November and really enjoyed it. I hadn't done crossfit before and was starting off pretty out of shape, but Tina and Linda were both great and made it really enjoyable. I might be moving away, but will definitely be sticking with crossfit! read more

I am new to crossfit but this is the third gym I have visited. It is a stand out in terms of the coaching, welcoming community, and support. There are workouts at a good variety of times and the coaches are always willing to guide you through a new move or workout. I am very glad I decided to drive the extra twenty minutes to check this gym out! I absolutely love it! read more

Love this place! I had never tried crossfit before and really never lifted weights with a barbell prior to BatCity. I've been coming close to a year now and have learned so much!! Every coach here is super helpful, very knowledgeable and encouraging in every single class. The WODs are challenging and always different. The variety of the schedule makes it possible for me to come 3-5 times a week even with a busy work schedule and family life. read more

I did a few drop-ins at Bat City Cossfit and really can't say enough good things about this place. The people are fantastic. Everyone from coaches to the folks just coming in to do some extra lifting were extremely nice and welcoming. It isn't a large box, but they utilize the space very efficiently and you never feel crowded at all. The coaches (Kent, Tina, and Linda) were thorough, supportive, and provided great guidance as well. read more

Adam White is an amazing Olympic lifting coach. I have been crossfiting for 5years and with a couple cues mainly everything I was doing. Now I am throwing weight that use to be difficult over head with ease and consist with very few misses. read more
