Jalai G.

This experience was pretty neat. You are on the water for about an hour and go down about a half a mile. There were little stops along the way where the guide talked. Our guide was Matt. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the water but he was a little soft spoken and hard to hear over the other people on the river. He did talk to everyone one and one and made sure people enjoyed the experience. He was very patient with the kids on the tour too. Overall though we had a great time and learned a lot. We wished the company offered an add on free time to kayak to make the experience longer.

Awesome group on a night paddle trip with Hudson
Stephanie H.

We were not sure what to expect when we booked this, but hoped for the best. This experience far exceeded expectations, was really fun, interesting and cool. We went looking for a glow paddle boarding trip, but the options in Austin appeared only to be group boats, which we did not really want. We decided to opt for this more unique looking idea that was just a 35 min drive from Austin. We are so glad we did! Hudson, our guide, was amazing. He made sure we were equipped, got us into our boats and we headed out promptly. He explained along the way what we were seeing, including lots of animals he had named. Beavers, ducks, raccoons, herons. At the end, he took some super photos for everyone. Definitely recommend this. I will be back.

Truly an excellent experience! Easy to find, friendly staff, cool kayaks and an overall great learning experience. Hudson was a knowledgeable and really friendly guide, and we felt safe with him. Highly recommend!

Under the walkway

We came on a girl's weekend from Louisiana. The glow tour was the finale to our trip. We all had a great time. The river was beautiful. Ben was a great guide, the information he shared about the plant and animal life was interesting, he was helpful and friendly.

Great day!

I have been wanting to rent clear kayaks forever now after seeing some youtube videos of people online. Well I found some! A young couple own PADDLE SMTX. Super nice and gave wonderful service! I recommend renting the clear kayaks for the daytime since you can see through the kayak and is better to enjoy during the day.

Time down the river
Hector Z.

This was a great experience for our 26th anniversary. Laney was very knowledgeable about San Marcos and the River. It was very peaceful trip . I would definitely do this again.

Ben was great. Good slight workout but not too difficult for people of all ages. Unless you want to get wet you don't have to get out of the Kayak. My legs got wet but nothing else.

First Time Night Kayaking

Nate was the Best tour guide! He was so friendly and really took the time to get to know you while also providing a lot of interesting facts about the Rio Vista Park. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a nightly adventure with great vibes.

Rebecka K.

I just noticed this place has only one-star reviews, and I had to chime in about what horsecrap…read morethat is. This is a great little studio! The only thing I'd downgrade them on is the price, as it's slightly more expensive long-term than other places I've been to, but it's still more or less what you'd pay for yoga anywhere. The instructors have always been great. I can't comment on the other reviewer's problem with trying to call and email the studio, because I've never tried, but i can say that if there's a class scheduled, they've always been there. One reviewer had a problem with the gong in a sound bath class. I see where they're coming from, but I think they were wanting to make the experience be what they were expecting of it. Personally, i often don't find the gong relaxing per se in the moment either. It's intense. But it's therapeutic in the end. I wish I could reply to the reviewer and suggest that she was terribly uptight before even entering the studio. The instructors I've had here have been great. Jenna's probably the best yoga instructor I've met. She has such a comprehensive and clinical knowledge of anatomy, along with a facility with language that really helps me understand intuitively how to enter the poses. She needs her own studio someday. To sum up, people can be petty buttholes. Anyone tempted to leave a terrible review of this studio ironically direly needs this studio.

Classes are fun, friendly and not at all intimating. Easy Tiger has helped more than my doctor and…read morephysical therapist could. Frustrated and not recovering I started going to Easy Tiger after ankle surgery. Jenna and her staff welcomed me and I started making rapid progress. They're unbelievably knowledgeable, intuitive and it feels like home. Throughout the work day I'm looking forward to classes because they physically put me back together and allow me to be pain free.

the Body Shop! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, because I had gone to Red Dawg studio before…read morethe pandemic. But I really missed hot yoga. I bought an annual membership in March 2022 and it has been the best thing. First, the space refresh is as bright and colorful as the instructors. (You can even borrow a mat, hot yoga towel and hand towel if you'd like.) Second, the instructors are fantastic. They are friendly, easy going, and helpful. They will probably say hi on your first visit. Third, this is a community space. I have enjoyed meeting new people and friends through the Body Shop. My favorite classes are Hot 26 (Bikram style hot yoga but w/music, smiles & laughter! Kim, Jay, & Victoria all teach this class and do a great job.), Monique's barre class (R&B and hip hop songs), Estelle's dance class (pop music and dance beats), and Dipali's hatha class (Indian and instrumental chill music). I'm happy to give them 5 stars!

They made me fill out name, email, phone, full address, sign the form -- and then wanted to take a photo. At that point I canceled and left. Maybe the facility is fine, but treating a tour like a full signup and snapping photos before someone agrees is a huge privacy red flag. I don't want my personal data being sold or ending up on some spam list just because I was curious about a gym. Management should stop scaring people off with unnecessary data collection.

THIS GYM IS A TOTAL SCAM!! if I could give 0 starts I would! They will promise you use of things…read moreand then completely switch things around on you. ITS IS NOT WORTH the 45 dollars a month you pay here for a cramped space and lack of promises. I was promised by the owner, Natalie and staff that I could use their gym for my trainings as long as the court is not being overused and kids over 15 are paying for a day pass. Two weeks after I was told this to get a membership, I got a call regarding them changing the policy all of a sudden. Nothing I was told actually was allowed to happen. If you are going to pay 45 dollars a month in San Marcos you might as well get a membership to the San Marcos Activity Center which is only 92 dollars I believe. Way cheaper and they have more space. DO NOT BUY A MEMBERSHIP FROM GYM UNLESS YOU WANT FALSE PROMISES AND POLICY CHAGES AS SOON AS YOU GET ONE. DO NOT DO IT!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! Phoenix Fitness is about quality, not quantity,…read morewhich is a rare thing these days. For one thing, Rocky is one of the most supportive, encouraging, and positive people I have ever met. She usually teaches the A.M. classes, and really pushes us on the TRX bands while watching our form. Sharee runs the afternoon TRX along with Rocky or Georgie and has a different routine, which helps switch things up. She is really good with instruction, especially for beginners. I love the TRX classes here and always leave drenched in sweat. What a way to start your day! I've been meaning to take their Boot Camp and Mobility classes, but life gets in the way. I hear they are just as awesome as the TRX classes, though. They also offer Zumba and Yoga during the week. Zumba is offered every day of the week, except for Sundays. Sylvia and Julianna know how to shake it! I tend to run into things and people, but it's still fun. Not only is all the staff friendly and helpful and super awesome, but the members are as well. They have become my support group in my quest for a healthier life, and help push me when I want to give up. I have a lot of fun and am working toward my fitness goals at the same time! I love this place!

I decided to sign up for personal training sessions to help with getting toned after having a baby. The sessions were good but I felt like it really wasn't geared towards post natal clients. I signed up for sessions 6 weeks before our out of state moved (never moved that far before!) I paid for my last 4 sessions up front and ended up missing two because of the move and was out $80. I suppose that was my fault but still wan't too happy about losing the cost of two workout session. If I was told up front there was no refunds I probably would have tried harder to to make those sessions before my big move or I wouldn't have paid for 4 upfront! I wish more would have been explained to me!
