Currently heading in for my second class and I'm nervous (in a good way kind of) update: just finished my second class! I am even more sore now (to be expected).

I've been coming to MOD on and off for 3yrs now and it's by far: the best Barre I've studio I've…read morebeen to! And I've been to many, all over the US! It's my happy place when in Austin. THE STUDIO: The Burnet location is cute and chic. It provides parking in the back and there's ample free street parking. It has 2 bathrooms, no showers! But the BEST part is they provide Child Care while you Barre! The kid's room is upstairs, and it's super cute! The care takers are so sweet and loving towards the little ones. I've only used the service myself only a few times but all the kids are easily entertained by the toys and books. Most importantly, the studio is CLEAN! It never has that wet/musty smell many other studios cling too. I dislike that they have (mostly) stopped using the mats and now we workout on the floor. While it's cushioned and sanitized, I still prefer the mats. Now, the mats are provided with the membership. It's simply grabbing one, but sometimes classes tend to fill up and the mats make it feel like we're taking more space. THE CLASSES: Wow!! Each instructor is so different and so amazing and so challenging in their own way! No 2 classes are alike! Seen way too many studios do this! Because no class is "repeated", you workout your entire body but in different ways! This way not only do you not get bored of the same classes over and over, but your muscles/body doesn't plateau. They will always introduce themselves to new comers to insure they know of injuries or work with you on modifications or postures. The instructors have their own routines and can and will customize it for you. They always offer modifications and alternative poses/positions. They never call you out for modifying, and in fact celebrate that you listen to your body! (I personally hate the boot camp type of instructors! - If I need to stop and stretch for 5min, I will! And I don't need anyone tell me to get back into the position/routine.) Instructors here are very talented and want to get to know you, they want to be sure you succeed, grow and find not only your healthier body, but healthier YOU. I know that's cheesy, but this is the only place I've found all the instructors actually care about proper posture, proper form, wether it's modified or not. There is a wide variety of members. Many pregnant or with injuries and they have found themselves here. I only wish I didn't travel so much so I could do more classes here.

Mod Fitness opened a gorgeous second location located just off Burnet Road. The studio is inside an…read moreadorable converted house with a similar feel of the south Lamar location but is more spacious. They also have a boutique selling nice workout clothing, grip socks and fancy water bottles. I did the hour long barre class yesterday and it was an excellent workout. Hollie instructed the fast paced class with grace and before I knew it the hour was over. They also offer other classes like Mod Burn which incorporates high intensity training and Barre 50 (shorter class). There are new client specials and I purchased an Austin Tidbits deal of 3 weeks for $49. If you like barre you will love Mod Fitness.

One of the best barre experiences I've had. I joined their cardio class and it was fantastic! The…read moreclass was filled with energy and steady movement, but the instructor allowed attendees time to grab water and take short breaks. I enjoyed the session and was excited to take my second class, which focused on strength. This class you have two different weight and bands to challenge yourself and give you the option to adjust to your needs. In both classes, the instructors either worked out with the group or walked around to ensure exercises were done correctly. I also felt it was easy for both beginners and advanced students to move at their own pace, maintain a steady heartbeat, and work up a sweat. The studio provides all equipment--just bring some non-slip socks and water to stay hydrated.

It is a great gym that has squat racks galore,…read moreOlympic lifting platforms and strongman gear but if you're into general strength and fitness they got stuff for that too. On top of all of the equipment, the gym has cultivated a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. In the seven years I have been coming here I've have never once encountered a pretentious, obnoxious or judgmental gym-goer. People come in, mind their business, workout and then leave. If I ever have to move out of Austin, I sure am going to miss this place.

Hyde Park Gym is as old school as it gets--and I mean that in the best way. The second you walk in,…read moreit's all iron, no fluff. You feel like you've stepped into a place built for real training. I hit a chest and triceps workout and found this old-school tricep machine I've never seen before--it felt incredible. Some of the equipment looks like it's been around forever, but it still hits better than most of the polished machines at commercial gyms. Everything here is built to last and made for people who actually lift. The vibe is raw and focused. No egos, no distractions--just people putting in work. It's the kind of place that makes you want to go harder. Only real downsides: the water fountain was out of order, and there's not much in the way of cardio equipment. So bring a water bottle, and if cardio is a big part of your training, you'll need to get that in elsewhere. Still, if you're into that gritty, no-nonsense gym energy, Hyde Park delivers. Just fix that fountain and it's an easy 5 stars

I was able to secure a $30 per month membership since I signed a contract for 12 months, and that grants me access to any location that is the same or lower tier. I have been to cycling classes with Megan Smith and yoga classes with Kayur Patel. Both instructors are so friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. All the staff members that work out at the front desk are so friendly, the always greet me and say goodbye. I was surprised to see so many lifting platforms and different machines I have never seen before. The only complaints that I have is that since this is an older gym, many of equipment is dinged up, but still operable. Also, instead of a posing room, I wished they used the space for a more functional amenity, like a hydromassage bed or a red-light therapy bed. If you are looking for an affordable gym where you can get a great cardio and/or strength training work out, this establishment is a great option since they have a vast variety of machines and equipment.

This gym is filthy, much of the equipment is failing, and ownership appears determined to spend the…read moreabsolute minimum required to keep the doors open. I've been coming here for 15 years, and the pattern is unmistakable: loyal members keep paying, the staff keep holding the place together, and ownership keeps cutting corners while the club falls apart around them. The trainers and frontline staff are not the problem. The problem is ownership and the standards it tolerates. This club is being treated like a cash cow. THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM IS DISGUSTING * Bugs come out of the drains. * Showers and drains are filthy. * Hair, grime, used Band-Aids, and debris are routinely left behind. * Lockers contain hair and dirt. * Tiles are broken where people walk barefoot. * There appears to be mold in places. * Dirt and hair collect along walls, floors, fixtures, and corners. A member became so frustrated that he wrote the name of a drain-cleaning chemical directly on the wall. These are sanitation failures in a place where people shower and walk barefoot. One diligent cleaner cannot overcome weak standards, inadequate staffing, and deferred maintenance. THE CARDIO EQUIPMENT IS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION There are eight StairMasters. Four are broken. The remaining four operate roughly, with cranking, slipping, and uneven movement that can be felt while using them. Many ellipticals bang at both ends of their range of motion instead of providing smooth, low-impact movement. Powering on does not mean a machine is functioning properly. Weight machines have missing or mismatched pins, missing add-on weight pins, squeaking parts, visible wear, and repairs that can take months. THE ENTIRE CLUB FEELS CHEAPENED The personal training area is poorly lit, surrounded by stained ceiling tiles, has no mirrors, and contains equipment that looks improvised or secondhand. Trainers and members often bring in their own equipment. A useful digital clock was removed and replaced with cheap wall clocks. Small detail, same mentality: replace something functional with the cheapest substitute. The basketball court is routinely dirty, its air conditioning took months to repair, and a once-thriving pickup community has largely disappeared. The answer is not to remove the court. The answer is to maintain it. MEMBER LOYALTY HAS BECOME AN EXCUSE TO BE CHEAP Hancock remains busy because of its location, trainers, and offerings. Continued attendance does not make these conditions acceptable. People have built routines and relationships around this gym. Switching is inconvenient. Ownership seems to understand that and exploit it. The apparent strategy is to cut expenses, delay repairs, push more services, and extract as much revenue as possible while investing as little as possible back into the club. That may help the short-term bottom line, but it is damaging the gym and the brand. 24 HOUR FITNESS CORPORATE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED Come look at Hancock Center without a corporate tour or advance warning. Look at the drains, broken tiles, showers, stained ceilings, broken StairMasters, banging ellipticals, dirty court edges, and filthy lockers. Then explain how this reflects a company that cares about the quality of its gyms. Hancock does not need another patch job. It needs real investment: deep-clean the locker rooms, repair the wet areas, service or replace failing equipment, improve the training area, maintain the basketball court, and give staff enough resources to meet a reasonable standard. This club has loyal members, good trainers, a valuable location, and a long history in Central Austin. Ownership is cutting maintenance and cleaning below the bare minimum, then greedily pocketing their profits at the expense of the gym, its members, the brand, and the community that supports it.
