Prior to Northcross Fitness, I never lasted at a gym longer than a few months, but I've been consistently working out at the Northcross Fitness for two years. The club's trainers, Jon Speakman and Brandon Torres, create a space where members feel inspired, comfortable, and confident. I find workouts to be fun, constantly changing, and never dull! Group workouts are varied and the folks in the groups are likable and supportive. The club is so confident that you will like your experience that there are no long term commitments -- pay as you go. If you are looking to achieve lasting results, Northcross Fitness is the ideal Austin gym.

Alright, I suppose it's about time for me to write this review. I've been going to Marlow's Fitness…read moresince January 20th. I know that exact date because that was the date I read the Yelp reviews and texted a couple of friends and held my breath and jumped in this "Marlow's Movement" thing whole hog. It was... painful. It many ways. Physically of course with the weight lifting and whatnot. But also emotionally. It's bizarrely difficult to go from a generally sedentary lifestyle to something that requires five days a week and twice on Saturdays. Not. Joking. It's like slipping into someone else's life. It's not bad -- just uncomfortable. His program uses a couple of things to get you to show up and keep going. 1. Accountability: You're accountable to your team and to the program. Your participation, steps, team, weight goals, etc are all being tracked through your fitbit and myfitnesspal. 2. A reward system: If your team or you "win" the program, then you go on an all expenses paid trip to Cancun. You stay at an all-inclusive resort with the other winners. 3. Community: Since all classes are small (14 peopleish) you get to know everyone else in the movement. You become this kind of "we're all in this together" family. 4. Uncomplicated Workouts: 30 minutes of whatever cardio you prefer and 30 minutes of 45 second intervals of weights/body weight exercises. Also you'll participate in some external activities - 5Ks, Saturday morning walks, a scavenger hunt. I lost weight and continue to go to class, building my muscle, getting in better shape and it's legitimately the first time I've been able to keep it off and continue to workout. I mean, I love the ease of crash diets but just feels better.

I first learned about F45 from an instagram ad, they were promoting a six week challenge, and i was…read morestuck in a rut so i figured why not try something new. Shoal Creek was not far from my place, so i booked an appointment with Cory to learn about it. I signed up, and started my commitment to working out 4-5 days a week, even on days when i had previously made excuses for myself on why i couldnt work out, because of a work schedule or whatever i had invented to get out of physical activity, and adhering to their meal plan, which also required more planning and cooking than i was used to. I fell in love. Even though i don't like doing burpees, a year and a half after i started the trial, i'm still going, still hitting 5 days a week, still challenging myself every class that i attend. These workouts are not things that i would do if i was working out by myself, which is a good thing, and the sense of community and camaraderie keep me going. I attend the morning classes since i work nights, so Trent is the trainer that i see most often, and he really helps to make sure that no matter what your fitness level is, there's an option for you. His demeanor also makes me feel really at ease and is very encouraging. Also, with everything that's happened in the last 6 months, all the Covid shut downs and mandates, the trainers were working hard to give us content, Zoom classes and recorded workouts with modifications and options for weights from things that can be found in the household... I did not gain any Covid weight, and i attribute that to having workouts available, and having access to the meal plan, which are pretty easy to prepare, and pretty tasty... and now that they've reopened, they keep it clean and have a great environment to make me feel safe. I love this place, and love the compliments that i get from people that have noticed the difference from my attendance. And i feel great!

This gym breathes support for its members while concentrating on good to grow their clients into their strongest, happiest selves. I signed up! Going to start foundation classes this week and then ready to rock and roll into the regular classes to be my strongest, happiest self! There's no doubt this will happen with the rad staff and community laid back vibes at this solid gym.

They have plenty of machines, free weights, cardio equipment, sauna, towel service, a bunch of classes (boxing, HIIT, MetCon, yoga, cycling, etc.), turf area, sleds and recovery equipment like theraguns (for the guns ). Oh, it's also 2 stories with 4 indoor batting cages upstairs.

I've been going to HIT for a couple of years now and have really enjoyed it, but the last year,…read moreunder a new Director of Operations, has brought noticeable decline. Several great coaches have left, and in some cases, their replacements have been extremely underwhelming. I've heard consistent complaints from both coaches and members about the new manager, and unfortunately, the recent changes only reinforce those concerns. One of the biggest disappointments is the decision to eliminate cycle classes. From what many of us understand, management based this decision on the attendance of just one class that regularly had only one or two participants, a class coached by someone most members actively avoided. Meanwhile, the cycle classes taught by the stronger coaches were always at least half full, sometimes more. Yet despite months of rumors, management waited until this month to inform the cycle coaches that their classes were being cut. Completely unacceptable. One of HIT's strengths was the ability to combine HIT classes, turf workouts, and cycle for a balanced fitness routine. Removing one pillar of that variety makes the gym far less appealing. In place of cycle, they're adding a "wellness" area offering services such as IV therapy, infrared saunas, etc., services already widely available in Austin and definitely not something most members I've talked to plan to use, especially since they'll cost extra. They're also introducing Pilates, but we haven't been told if those classes will also require an additional fee. Given the high cost of Pilates equipment, most of us assume they will. On top of that, Pilates appeals to a very specific audience, and it's unclear how this fits with the gym's current member base or identity, especially in a market already saturated with Pilates studios. Across the board, members feel these decisions are being made based on what the manager wants, not what members actually value. We were never surveyed or asked for input on what changes we would support. Adding to the confusion, the gym has a large upstairs area with batting cages, and we've been told they plan to build out new rooms up there. If that's the case, why not simply move cycle upstairs instead of eliminating it? None of these changes make sense from a business standpoint, and I don't see how they'll recoup the costs. I already know multiple members who have left because of these decisions, and many more, myself included, are reconsidering their membership. It's incredibly disappointing to see member feedback ignored while the gym shifts in a direction few people asked for and even fewer will benefit from.

There wasn't a formal check in process so I was a bit confused on what to do when I got there and ended up asking some random people.

You will definitely be sore after this!
