Gold's Gym on Burnet Road is still as shiny and glistening as it was on day one. This Gold's Gym…read moreis always super clean and with many locations to exercise - cardio, and weight training (machines or free weights). This gym is super spacious, modern with state of the art equipment. In addition, the gym has a posing room (yep! posing room!), hydro massage and sauna services. There is something for every discerning gym member. I went for a total body workout early this morning. While the time was early morning, the gym was in high gear with a fully packed gym...not an original idea. It was not long waits for the equipment....so, the selection of equipment is good.

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.

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.

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.

I joined on March 27 after…read morebeing told my membership would be $29.99/month with no initiation fee (which is a joke because your charges your first and last fee at the time of sign up), and that my next payment wouldn't be until April 27. Instead, I was billed $75 on April 10 (just two weeks after signing up) for an "annual fee" that was never clearly explained to me. At no point during the signup process was it made clear that I would be charged this fee so soon after joining. Now, with another $29.99 coming up on April 27, my first month is totaling over $100, which is completely different from what I was led to believe. This lack of transparency has left a really bad first impression, and honestly making me reconsider keeping my membership at all.

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 place is better than any other gym you have ever experienced. It's not even similar. "Gym"…read moreis almost not an adequate word, because it conjures images of anonymous warehouses full of elliptical machines and a dumbbell rack with missing weights and a few crappy weight machines and cucumber water and douchey trainers. "Gym" is a word for a place that quietly sucks $50 from your paycheck every month and secretly hopes you just forget about it before too long because if you don't, the fire marshal will shut them down. "Gym" is the word for the place where you can tell yourself you are getting healthy without any of that fussy hard work. Texas Kettlebell Academy is a different breed. Sure, it's spendy compared to what you're paying for that 24 Hour Fitness membership you don't use, but you get a lot more than what you pay for. The base membership is $100/month. For that, you'll get personal attention from the owner, a community of people who know you, daily workout assignments that are tailored to your goals, and access to a great gym that has everything you need to make it happen. Oh, and stronger. You'll get stronger. You can get de-facto personal training from experienced athletes just by showing up. A few weeks ago I had a personal 30-minute masterclass on how to perform a barbell snatch from a former crossfit instructor, because that's just who you are surrounded by when you go to TXKB. Step up to the Kettlebell Sport program ($175/month) and even more magic starts to happen. You've got goals that you're knocking down, then new goals after that. You're a member of a team that regularly fields world champions. You've got a goddamn cheering section. TXKB is a top-tier facility when it comes to the relatively little-known world of Kettlebell Sport lifting - it's the best in the state, and maybe best in the US. Kettlebell Sport is a unique competitive activity that requires development of technique, strength, cardiovascular fitness, joint mobility, and mental toughness in order to get through a 10-minute set where you complete as many repetitions as possible of your chosen lift. TXKB hosts a major competition every year, and there are also opportunities to travel to other meets in the US and around the world. We're lucky to have TXKB here in Austin, and I'm glad I found it - I just wish I had started sooner. Overall rating: A++++++ would lift again.

The instructor greeted me by name and asked if I had any injuries or needed any modifications, then walked me over to the equipment and explained that I needed two sets of free weights to add to the other set up equipment (a mat, a lower back mat, ball and resistance band). It was all women in the class, and I can't be sure but i get the feeling it's like 90%+ female most of the time. There's also a spin studio in the space. For barre devotees, I think it's a solid choice and very conveniently located. Also there's ample parking out front and in the parking garage just underneath. All in all, it was a good midday workout.

I came here yesterday. I am a old guy, broken down from a great life of being a musician,…read moremotorcycle wrecks, race car wrecks, skiing disasters, playing Army for many years and basically burned the candle at five ends. Add the tum tum, and you would think this is the last place I would end up. The different orthopedic doctors and Physical Therapists all basically said go to something like this and see what makes you hurt :-( . I called and talked to the business and it turns out that they have many different types of classes, including rehab and recovery. They would make adjustments for me if needed. The business was spotless and organized to a T. Then came the class. The instructor, Jennifer, was quite charming as was the staff. The attendees were all ages, shapes, sizes, and I was not the only man there. Jennifer said she could adjust the instruction if needed due to all my damage and I said no way, go full blast and if I had problems I would adjust myself. So, full of confidence, I started immediately with the class which was a "grace", or something like that, for newbies. Jennifer was enthusiastic, and kept the tempo going. I had some problems at first following the instructions as I was new to this, but with the mirrors and her assistants, I started getting the idea. Yeah! I heard "shake it off and rest" but I could never see where "rest" was in the picture. I realized that if I totally stopped I would never be able to start up again, so I did the best I could. Then I learned to hate the words "bar and barre". When you are told to grab or lean on the bar, you are really going to get it. All in all, it was wonderful. Jennifer or one of her assistants would come and help with advice, and there was only 2 moves I could not do. When we were finally finished, my muscles were shaking so bad from lack of use in the past few years, I asked my wife to drive home, much to her glee. Fast forward 1 day and I am worn out and sore, but in a good way. I am definitely more flexible, I don't have pain where I used to have pain, so this event probably saved me a lot of money to doctors and therapists as I know now where to target and to what extent I can handle and still live.
