Main Entrance
Keith A.

So much fun for my first time visiting Crux! Great spot located in South Austin. Front Desk were super friendly and helpful. Retail Center located behind front desk with great options of T-shirts, tank tops and gear to choose from. You can also opt to sign the waiver form online before your first visit. Each climb is labeled with the V-Scale to help climbers select their level of difficulty. Parking lot is shared with other businesses - can be a bit challenging during peak hours and around when people are leaving from work. However, as you enter and leave the venue, you are hit with the great aroma of BBQ and other food trucks nearby. I am super fortunate to have a climber-friend who was able to 'Show Me the Ropes.' Which helped in mitigating some of my first-timer mistakes while bouldering. I learned a bunch of new terminology such as volumes, kneebar, toe-hold, heel hooks, flagging, feet cutting and much more. I'd recommend doing research on some of the terminology and bouldering body positions to help solidify your understanding before your first day. I enjoy training BJJ & Powerlifting, and my forearms were sore as if I just had many rolls or a long deadlift training session. Don't be alarmed if your forearms feel really tight when bouldering. I'm a huge fan of table tennis/ping pong, so I was excited to see that there was a table to play in between rest time. There's the main room, a Cave and kids room for all ages to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend visiting Crux if you are an experienced climber or first-timer like me!

Still enjoy climbing here! You make reservations to come on the RGPro app, check in with a barcode tag, get your temperature checked and head on in. If you check in with your phone number too, you can rack up points. Luckily if the top rope area gets too crowded, you can walk around to an area less packed - bouldering, head to the cave, or upstairs moon board. Usually don't have that problem after 8:30ish PM or very early morning.

This place has lots of bouldering problems. They are challenging. Though it may be a bit small and feels kinda crowded. The rope section is very small as it only has a small section. The walls are not that tall and this could not be challenging for the lead climbing. I enjoyed the bouldering problems, but I believe that ABP is much better place to go for bouldering than Crux Climbing Center...

Climbing and yoga!

Crux offers a good variety of climbing walls. The facility is well maintained and staff are knowledgable and friendly. It can get crowded, especially during peak times and parking can be a challenge.

Modern rock climbing place that is suitable for first-timers to experts. However, you need to become certified with Crux through classes to belay other people (some places allow you to belay after intro orientation). They provide climbing shoes and cubbies for storage. The physical walls have about 4-5 self-belaying climbs that are not too difficult. If you go during peak time, you might wait for a climb to open up. There is a large free climbing area with an abundance of space. Also, there is a separate kids area with easy walls to climb. Around the back there is a ping pong table, piano, lounge area and bathrooms. For $20, you can climb all day, but unless you are certified you might get bored quickly. The reason Crux gets 5 instead of 4 stars is because of the shoes, modern facility, and number of climbs offered. The facility shares a parking lot with a food truck park and beer & coffee bar.

I should've posted a review long ago, but after a small mix up on my membership I'm even more inclined to let everyone know how amazing Crux is, especially their (kind & caring) employees. I joined Crux gym over a year ago, and my heart aches not being able to have my (3x a week) sessions (personal choice) but I'm glad to know they'll be there when I'm ready to get back on the wall. Their route setters are GOOD. They get you thinking, also give easier lines that boost confidence, and also set routes that you'll literally dream about solving. That says a lot about their route setting skills! I've brought two beginners to crux and they were able to try and conquer plenty of lines, so they're great for all levels. The vibe, the amenities, their gear shop, I give it all 5+ stars.

My son on the wall!

She is so upbeat and fun and keeps you engaged the whole way through. The class is lightly heated and involves your standard poses with some light to medium weights added in plus cardio bc who doesn't love cardio? Aside from the main yoga sculpt classes there's a plethora of additional options for all levels. The studio itself is well managed, parking available in the garage directly behind the studio. Towels and mats are available for rent and they have water refill stations in the hall with mens and womens locker rooms - both of which were super clean and spacious! If you're looking for a yoga studio in the area I can't recommend this one enough!

I asked the lady at the desk (Yael) if there was anywhere else I could park (this was at 10:30 the start time because I had never run into this parking issue before I am usually very punctual). She was very nice and told me to do street parking or park at Whole Foods (though it's a bit of a walk). She told us it would be okay if we were a bit late to class. We park at Whole Foods and we are then locked out of the studio. Yael reluctantly let us back in telling us to "not let it happen again" and that being this late was unacceptable. We then left the class completely since we didn't want to be in a space where we were obviously unwelcome.

Castlehill Fitness is a gem of a gym and it's locally owned! Some of the perks: Never overcrowded,…read moreno waits for machines (and there is a lot of variety), courteous and helpful front desk staff, top notch instructors (Pilates, HITT, yoga, cycle, all types of strength classes and many more), an amazing acupuncturist on site as well as excellent massage and physical therapists. The gym is kept clean and orderly depending on what you want to focus on. The prices aren't really more expensive than other local gyms and here you will get attention and feel you are valued! Check it out- there is always some kind of special going on! Just ask.

After using ClassPass for a few months, I booked a class at this gym and thank heavens I did…read more Castle Hill Fitness is awesome. It's a full gym offering a variety of classes, equipment, and wellness spa, the best part it has been locally owned for 22 years. Castle Hill isn't the prettiest or shiniest gym. She's funky and oddly shaped and full of good energy. As a VIP member you get unlimited group classes! Including Pilates with reformer, towers, and chairs! Plus yoga. Strength training classes. Rebounders. It's all here. I've never seen any other gym anywhere offer so much. Also, the members take care of this place, wiping down equipment, they don't use harsh chemicals either, it's essential oils so the place has a light hint of pine in the air. Also, towel service in included. Although, castle hill fitness isn't the prettiest gym, she has the most heart, I don't feel like a piece of meat in there, and it's kept clean. Def a fan of this place; the staff, and the value.

What do you need, mama?…read more Inner peace and relaxation? Practical knowledge and confidence? Just a moment to yourself? Lindsey and her team have given me all of this and so much more in the journey to motherhood. Austin Yoga Lounge is more than just a pre and post-natal yoga studio; it's a community. They offer yoga and strength classes with options for prenatal or postpartum (with and without your little one). They also offer specialized workshops for moms, partners, and little ones with different topics -- birth prep, CPR, feeding, etc... something for everyone during this season of life.

I cannot say enough good things about Lindsey snd the beautiful space she has created! I started…read moregoing to Austin Yoga lounge around 11 or 12 weeks pregnant. I was doing hot yoga around 3 to 4 times a week and some Pilates here and there, but I quickly had to change my routine as an expecting mother. And I was so blessed to find Austin Yoga lounge! I love taking the power flow classes for a bit of a challenge, and show up almost every Tuesday and Thursday to do Alex's prenatal strength. Do not be fooled, you will absolutely get a workout from these classes! Motherhood can be such an adjustment and I'm so grateful that I get to continue to move my body in a way that serves me. Beyond fitness, Austin Yoga lounge has a ton of different workshops geared towards various topics, mother's groups, and even doula services. I am a first time mom, and I live out of state and away from all my family, and Austin Yoga lounge has been my support system in my community through these past six months. If you aren't expecting mother looking for any level of support, I highly recommend you come. It truly goes beyond just a place to work out. It is a community. It is a home. It is a sisterhood!
