I have had other private training sessions and classes at Gold's Gym but never got the results like I do at Practical Fitness. Having little time to workout, it takes 30 minutes twice a week and you get amazing results. Also, with a few injuries, this method has kept me injury-free and has actually healed long standing old injuries. I have had a few great trainers and lately it has been Jen. A great trainer, motivator, and all around great person I enjoy Jen's approach. I highly recommend Practical Fitness Lakeway, you will love it.

I've tried at least a dozen different types of work out strategies throughout my life, but nothing compares to Practical Fitness and steady pace in regards to value and the return you get from it. Great workouts and worth every penny!

The Planet Fitness receptionist said membership is no longer $9.99 but $15.99 with higher membership expense with the Black card access. Planet Fitness does not have fitness classes but offers personal training. Black card access allows access to hydro massage and tanning. This gym would be a great alternative to someone who do not want fitness classes as it is very reasonably priced.

An entire gym upstairs downstairs filled with people that's hot, humid, and they leave the door open for 12 people??? The door is always left open during a fitness class for an hour, even during the Texas summer when outdoor air quality is poor due to Mexico smoke and African dust. Keeping the door open allows hot, humid outside air to circulate through the gym, making workouts less comfortable and, in my experience, bringing outdoor air into the facility. I politely asked the staff if they could keep the door closed, but my request was swiftly and rudely declined. It seems like a simple change that could help maintain a cooler, more comfortable indoor environment while reducing the amount of outside air entering the gym during poor air quality events. -DIRTY GYM -RUDE MANAGING -HOT, HUMID AIR I want CORPORATE to change this practice and put members' comfort first since the MANAGER refuses.

As with each barre3 location i have personally experienced for myself, the instructors at this location are warm, welcoming, exceptional & challenging. barre3 is a beautiful, "full-body balanced workout" that boils down to a unique blend of yoga, pilates, & ballet (barre) work. i've tried alllll the boutique fitness classes & studios, genres, methods/styles etc., you name it...and barre3 is the most fulfilling, enjoyable, & challenging workout experience i've had! Don't get it twisted - each barre3 class i've ever taken has been extremely intense & difficult, but the physical, mental, & emotional health improvements & peaks are well worth it! Barre3's website describes it best, "Our innovative approach combines low-impact isometric moves, large-range cardio bursts, and mind-centering breathwork." - and for each of those details, i'm in love! the cherry on top of the barre3 sundae is that their co-founder/CEO, Sadie Lincoln, is an absolute role model, leader queen! (ProTip: she also teaches & has some of their most-killer recorded classes in their online inventory!) In addition to studio classes, they offer at-home recorded & live workouts. Their in-store merchandise is consistently a cute & comfortable selection that they rotate seasonally - they cover the typical workout leggings, tanks, tops, barre socks, etc. And, you get a 10% discount off of their retail merchandise if you have a membership with them. Price point is on par with other higher-end, boutique-style fitness studios in Austin, & more affordable if you have a monthly employee benefit for expensing & getting partial/full reimbursement for gym membership. They do offer a student, teacher, and military discount off of their membership. They offer a free first class, so grab a friend who is also new to Barre3 & go check em out !

Anytime Fitness on Anderson Lane in Austin, Tx is a must to try out. I appreciate the size of the…read moregym. It allows connections and space to focus on one's workout. The employees ensure the gym is clean; even the owner, John, sets his hands to the tasks. AF has excellent trainers on staff.

The gym itself, although on the smaller side, has been great. There are 6 treadmills, 6 elliptical…read moremachines, and 3 barbell squat racks but as for the rest there is only one of each machine. I've had my membership a few years now, most of which I was going at night time 10pm to avoid a crowd. That was good but was interfering with my sleep so I started going in the morning usually 8am. Now despite the fact that there is only 8-12 people during the daytime you will still find 2-3 people using multiple machines at once like a circuit training, instead of doing all of your sets on that machines, wiping it and moving on. This is horrible etiquette for a smaller gym with only one type of machine or equipment and there are no rules posted to discourage this. I wish these people would join a larger gym if they want to do circuit type training. Not great when you're on a time crunch waiting for a machine while someone is across the room on a totally different machine but have their towel and water bottle next to the machine holding their place. Something else I personally don't mind because I'm there to burn calories, is that I usually have to put other people's weights away, re-rack plates or organize then jump box's and kettlebells to clear an area before I use it if it's a Friday Saturday or Sunday. My complaints are mostly with the behaviors of the patrons which I know is not the fault of anytime fitness, I will be switching for a larger gym with more equipment in October. I will see if cancellation has any issues as other reviews have mentioned. I did have a small mixup trying to cancel back in June when I found out my contract was on auto-renew every year if you don't actually cancel the auto-renew option it will start a new year contract every year instead of going month-to-month after the initial one year contract signed. So I had to actually pause the membership at the next gym I'm going to in order to finish this second years' contract I was unaware I was signed up for. I'm sure it's in the fine print. The gym is great if you catch it with few people or totally empty it feels like a personal gym which I loved. The good thing about anytime fitness is you can use any location nationwide when you have the membership, which I visited several in austin, FM 1826 ended up being my main location for majority of my membership.

I've been practicing Pilates for over 4 years when I joined Club Pilates. I had a very…read moreuncomfortable and unprofessional experience that left me questioning whether this studio values member privacy. When pregnant, as required, I signed the studio's pregnancy waiver and had a walk-through with an instructor on how to properly modify movements. I've been following those modifications safely and consistently. During a class, I quietly adjusted certain exercises to pregnancy-safe variations. Instead of pulling me aside or checking in privately, the instructor stopped class and asked me -- in front of the entire room -- why I was doing something different. She then directly asked me if I was pregnant, putting me on the spot to disclose something very personal that I had not chosen to share publicly yet. This was extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary. The studio already had my waiver on file, and I had been trained by another instructor on modifications. Pregnancy is a private matter, and calling it out to a room full of strangers is unprofessional and disrespectful. I want to emphasize that I take responsibility for my own safety and modifications -- and I appreciate instructors who are attentive. But there is a right way to handle member privacy, and this was absolutely the wrong way. If you're considering Club Pilates and value discretion, be aware that your personal health information may not be treated with the sensitivity you'd expect.

Outside of these small suggestions this gym truly is great, no other gym in Austin can compare to the cleanliness and quality of machines this space provides.

When I could no longer tolerate the big box gyms, the crowds that flock to them and the bad behaviors that have cropped up over time, I finally made the move to this gym. Sure it's smaller, sure it doesn't have daycare, saunas, pools, giant changing rooms but I consider all those things a plus. People who show up here show up to work out not sit at the sauna and pool all day. The price point is higher than most gyms but not unreasonable. You get what you pay for -- mostly in peace and quiet and an overall more courteous gentler crowd. There is a good mix of equipment that can handle a mix of folks who just want fitness, folks who are into bodybuilding and powerlifters. For the most part all three groups exist in peace. Perhaps the general fitness folks may at times be a little intimidated by some of the louder harder workouts of the powerlifters. But this can be mitigated by changing the time you go. I get overstimulated by such noises so I try to avoid those folks if I can. ( I can be a gentle flower lol) Gender balance. This gym has a very healthy gender balance. Luckily this crowd is not there to find suitors, they are there to work out so no fake eyelashes or clown makeup nor guys just dragging their wings along the ground like turkeys in heat. Please respect this dynamic and don't come here to hit on people. Like most gyms the peak time is 5-7 week days except it's mostly Monday to Wednesday that's somewhat busy during rush hour. But nothing like the big box gyms. It's busy but not impossible to get a workout in like other gyms. Folks are not aggressive with each other, they are kind when they approach you for working in etc. I take a long time at some machines people should be upset but there is no upset, only kindness. They are swapping out some of the equipment and its changes for the better -- mind you what's there is already plenty. This is a small gym floor compared to mix chain gyms. The gym in Lincoln village is slightly larger and the new one in round rock will be huge. The hours are great. Parking is plenty however not endless, sometimes you will have to hunt a little. The gym is clean, bathrooms is clean but could be better. I am just being honest. It's just fine. I have been spoiled by Lifetime and EOS. There is a regular crowd that's been there a long time and they sometimes do exert a little bit of ownership and territorial behavior but they are mostly harmless, they could use the challenge of new faces, and they are perfectly able to adapt and accept newcomers. So don't be intimidated. It's all teddy bears in there. The staff also is amazingly friendly and attentive and keep the place sharp and on top shape and help members. I highly recommend you get a week pass and check it out!
