Great workout gym that really pushes you with some awesome classes! Thanks for the introduction as I compare gyms to join!

Don't judge a gym by the cover. This place is tucked away in an older business park, but once you make your way inside you'll find one of the coolest gyms in Austin. 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. read more

I've been going to HIT for a couple of years now and have really enjoyed it, but the last year, under 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. read more

really nice gym but the admin is not great. I started a year-long membership in September of 2024. I was planning on not renewing because I had invested in a home gym around the time my membership was going to expire. I had thought that because I didn't sign a renewal contract, that I would stop getting charged. However, I didn't read my initial contract carefully and it states that the contract will renew on its own after 60 days of the previous contract ending unless notifying them that you want to cancel. So, once I saw a charge 2 months after my contract had ended, I called them to have them cancel my contract. They told me that they would cancel the contract, but I would NOT get a refund for the month that I had just paid for. I agreed to the terms and life went on. Fast forward to February 13, 2026 (2 months after I was charged for not cancelling my membership) I was randomly charged again. I called in to speak to a manger to see why I was being charged, low and behold I got "our manager is unavailable at the moment" (why even have a manager if you can never get ahold of them?) someone please tell me how any of this makes sense. read more

I really like this gym. I found them through class pass. They have a variety of classes at all hours of the day so it makes it easy for someone who has an 8-5 to find something for them. They have showers, provide towels, and a dry sauna. The area that its in is also easy to get in and out of so no excuses! read more

Went to this gym for one of their 6am HIT classes. The facility has plenty of parking and is easy to find, right off Burnet. They have an electronic checkin station which was handy and pretty self explanatory. The HIT area is this HUGE field space which comes in handy for the running they do. This class was INTENSE. It was a good workout and everyone was friendly but I think this geared more toward extra fit people, especially in this class. There are different stations you cycle between. My one comment there is the lowest size weights that were placed out were 15lbs and there wasn't really time to grab lighter ones. Also from what I saw there was no wiping down of equipment after use and this was a super sweaty class. Not sure if they have some other system for that? Will come again but maybe not that particular class for a bit read more

HIT Athletic is a great new gym in Austin that offers many amenities and classes. They have tons of equipment, cardio machines, yoga classes, sauna, showers, and many more. The gym was super clean and was top notch. I will definitely be going back to try more of their classes. The class was programmed great, it was very challenging it was a full body workout that used all different kinds of equipment and movements. Give them a check in and check it out you won't be disappointed. read more

This place has a great vibe clean fri dly Professional staff, amazing class instructors. Sonya's sports conditioning was on point. Pushed me to my limit with a smile. Could not more highly recommend it! read more

Terrific facilities, courteous & helpful staff, amazing trainers, great classes & a super supportive community. I could go on and on. Easily the best gym I've ever joined. read more

Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. It's a smaller gym with much to offer and I think it's worth the price compared to typical commercial gyms. The facilities themselves are new and nice and include everything you could ask for in a higher end gym short of a spa. The classes are where this gym really shines, the instructors are great (Jake is killer) and the classes from boxing to sports conditioning will kick your ass. The gym has a good mix of people from those who clearly workout to those who are just staying healthy. The members I've come across seem friendly and get in and get out. No intimidation or sense you don't belong here. I can't speak to high traffic times and how busy it gets as I avoid those times, but the classes are never jam packed and I've never seen the weight room or TRX area or machine area super packed. It boils down to what you want in a gym, basics with no frill and bare bones, probably not this gym. This is a smaller private gym locally owned gym that caters to those who don't mind paying a little more for a better equipment, quality classes and a community feeling. Is this a luxury gym? No. It doesn't have a spa or a cafe or anything like that. It is marketed as catering to athletes and includes an indoor turf field, I wouldn't say you need to be an athlete to join. Just someone who's looking for something other than a box gym. The only "downside" if any I would mention on this place is parking fills fast as the lot is small, it's a bit pricey and lastly they will charge you $20 if you cancel a class within 2 hours of the class. 100% worth the free 1-3 trial they offer to see if it is for you. read more

My friend just joined as a member and she kept raving about this spot. It's about 20 min north from me and I finally was able to go to the 9 am Saturday strength class with Henry. As soon as I walked in, I could tell this gym was different. It's new, super clean, way bigger than I was expecting, and every person in that space had such a great energy/vibe. As Elle Woods famously said, "endorphins make people happy" and this place had no shortage of endorphins The workout was great. It flew by! I'm super picky about my workouts. Way too many IG/YouTube trainers out there with gimmicky workouts. Henry's style is straight forward, focuses on the fundamentals, and actually pretty fun! It's a bit of a drive but I think it's worth it. I want businesses like this to thrive -- they're putting people's health and wellness first and I will be telling everyone about it. Loved seeing everyone's smiling faces and can't wait to be back! read more

What an incredible Gym. It literally has everything you could ask for, except for a pool. The classes are legit, the clients all have smiles, the staff is magnificent, the owner is such a great human. I can not think of a reason why you should not give them privately owned small business, your business. Give them a try, I promise you will not regret it. read more

HIT is the best gym I have found in Austin...and I've tried a lot. The facility is brand new so it's very clean and well organized. There is childcare and they offer kid fitness classes upstairs. HIT offers numerous classes so you never get bored: HIIT circuit, strength classes, conditioning classes, yoga, cycling, and boxing. If you are a beginner, I recommend Jake as he is a great instructor and will ensure you have the correct form. There is no judgment in the classes and all are welcome from advanced to beginners. The best part is the community they build. HIT is everyone's happy hour, and because of the classes, many fitness friendships are forged. Plus, it's locally owned so you can support small business in Austin! read more

Trainer took my money and now ignores my emails and calls. Owner is turning a blind eye to this.

I joined HIT a few months ago and have loved it. There's a wide variety of classes and the staff is awesome. Special mention to Robin, she always goes above and beyond to make my son feel comfortable at Kid's Club. The trainers are great and really take the time to think out the workouts/help or assist when needed. Really love this place and would definitely recommend for families! read more

10/10 love this gym! All of the instructors and staff are so amazing as well as all the members! Always recommend this place to people I talk to. Really made a community here. I think the price is unbeatable with all the features / amenities / classes they offer. Always so clean never have had an issue here. ‍ read more

I'm a decently athletic nine year old that does competitive gymnastics and swimming so I went to the 8-11 youth class, and WHOA I was so tired out. The class was fun but so tiring the one thing I noticed was that I was the only girl in the class so I encourage more girls to join the classes. I went with my friend Jaxon and he said he loved it. Overall really nice experience, clean equipment, and fun class. read more

Amazing spacious place with the energy to get you motivated to get in shape! Love how clean everything is! I've definitely found the best gym in Austin!! read more

I've been a member of HIT since they opened, and was at a previous gym with many of these good folks from 2016-2018. I receive so much from the gym and community! If you're looking for a gym that offers challenging group classes with excellent trainers and good people, this gym may be for you. What I like: - The variety of classes - boxing, kick boxing, strength, conditioning, cycling, hiit, grind, and more. I don't get bored, and I like having options that can accomodate an injury, achy knees and joints, or an off day. - Group classes - I'm not someone who tends to lift or work out on my own, so the group class format is an excellent fit for me. That being said, there's a great selection of equipment for those who want to do their own thing. - The schedule - there are early morning classes, morning classes, noon classes, afternoon and evening classes. If I have to move my schedule around, I can usually catch a class at another time - nice! - The instructors are top notch. They know their stuff! They bring creativity, knowledge, experience, challenge, and fun to their classes. I've trained with Jake, Mike, Bryan, Alicia, Karim, and Shon at a previous gym, and they're excellent. I don't think I've ever done the same workout twice with Jake - his originality astounds me. - The right level of challenge - exercise is the most helpful form of self care for me, especially as I care for chronic depression. And there's nothing like a challenging workout to get out stress! I know that if I show up to a class, I'm going to get a good, challenging workout, for both my physical and mental health. - Confidence - the group classes have helped me be in my body and reconnect with my strength. As Alicia says, 'It's a privilege to work out.' The classes give me the joy of being fully alive and present in my body, of learning knew skills, and embodying power and strength. - Good people - we laugh, cheer each other on, and have fun as we sweat together. - The space - I like the open space for group classes, and the turf means we can do things like sprints in addition to more typical gym exercises. I like having such a variety of equipment: monkey bars, trx bands, sand bags, kettle bells, racks for heavy weights, ski ergs, battle ropes, heavy sleds, slam balls, agility ladders, and more. Honestly, I don't have any complaints. I've been eagerly awaiting the gym's opening, and am so grateful for this space and its people. read more
