SoLa CrossFit - Sauna & ice bath combo, part of their "Recovery Zone" - it's amazing! - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Austin, Texas

Just try it. You will love it. Great coaches. Great programming. Great community. If you have never done CrossFit you should invest in yourself and come out and check it out at least one time. Everyone is super friendly and wants you to succeed. The location is on a back road and not on a main road so it feels tucked away from the city. There is a sauna and ice bath if you are looking for recovery. Also, we normally do weightlifting before every WOD, which I appreciate. Thank you Sola CrossFit! read more

When I travel, I pop into CrossFit gyms all over the country. Not one has been as good as my home gym, SoLa Crossfit. Clean, safe and friendly. The minute you walk in you know they take the time to just clean. Most gyms, there's a thin layer of chalk dust and a faint smell of funk, not here. It's safe, there's plenty of room to spread out and not worry that someone is going to drop a barbell on your head or bounce one into your shines. Equipment is kept up and the coaches will not let you injure yourself. No egos here. Always friendly and welcoming. The Cheers of CrossFit gyms. Ryan Van Meter read more

Amazing workouts and even more amazing people. My wife and I were new to CrossFit. CJ taught us all the movements we needed to make sure we wouldn't get injured and coaches Dave, CJ, Waleed and Rudy were high energy and always made sure we were practicing best form. The equipment was great and they were very safe with Covid procedures. My wife and I were in Austin for 1 month and a half and in that time we felt very apart of their community. Jess was very engaging and helpful throughout the whole process making sure we had what we needed and asking for feedback. MUST GO! We will be going back when we visit. read more

Phenomenal Community: This isn't one of those testosterone-driven boxes with a bunch of meatheads trying to one-up each other on weight. There are so many amazingly wonderful and supportive human beings here who take the time to get to know you. Excellent Coaching. Dave has always kept a watchful eye on technique (generous with the 1:1 observation and feedback), stays in-tune and observant of injuries to help you scale properly, is mindful of the previous workouts and the compounding fatigue they present, and does a thorough job of breaking down instruction/points of performance. Really appreciate of all this to help me accomplish my fitness goals without overextending into territories that may cause injury. Update: Another thing I appreciate about this box is how seriously Dave & Jess took COVID concerns and implemented safety protocols: designated and outlined space for each person to workout within, spacing classes an additional 15min apart so there is time for them to sanitize the space, purchase equipment (sanitizing mister to spray on equipment post-class, mini zamboni that disinfects), requiring face masks on entry and exit, requiring hand sanitization at the automatic spray station, equipment disinfectant and hand sanitizer at each individual workout station. Appreciate their concern for our health. read more

I moved to Austin and started at SoLa about 2 years ago, and it was the best thing I've done for myself in Austin. The gym is well maintained. There is a wide variety of workout programs. The coaches are fantastic - friendly, instructive, attentive, and interactive. The focus is on helping you get fit in a healthy way. Not only are the coaches fantastic - and they are, and the owners always trying to look for ways to improve the gym - and they are, but they do a great job of creating an environment of community. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing this gym is. I came in concerned I wouldn't fit in as far as strength, agility and age. The coach and other members wiped that away. It is the most friendly and encouraging work environment I have ever experienced. They want you to do YOUR best not what everyone else is doing. I encourage anyone to go in and just watch a class l, you won't be disappointed. read more

I took the "Pain Cave" class at CrossFit South Lamar and it was INTENSE! In the best way possible. The gym itself is awesome. Lots of room, the equipment is kept clean and together, the people are all amazing, and above all you get a killer workout in. I know what it's like stepping into a studio where you don't feel welcomed if you're not a "regular" but I can tell you this place was the exact opposite. The owner, Dave, was super cool and made me feel at ease. Did I mention the workout was titled "Pain Cave". Like to feel at ease walking into that, you're doing something right. read more

SoLa CrossFit - The gym at S. Lamar CrossFit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a great gym! Both the staff and the people make it fun to come in every day. The coaches are respectful of your time, and do a very good job at making sure you are doing all of the lift movements correctly. Highly recommend. read more

I fall into the camp of "did literally nothing during the pandemic" and a year later I had an extra 30 pounds to show for it. I tried the working out at home by myself routine but I found myself just making excuses and perpetuating the cycle I was used to for the last year. I knew I needed to put myself out there and actually attend classes in order to see results. I had already heard great things about SOLA Fitness when they were CrossFit affiliated, so I did a little digging on FB, IG and Google and it looked super positive. I've officially been attending classes 3x a week for a couple of weeks now and all I can say is this is the BEST decision I've made in the past year! First let's talk facilities - super clean, I mean really clean (for those of you that have done CF at other gyms you know that this is a big deal). Class sizes are restricted to 14 people and all of us are social distanced within our own little taped off area complete with everything we need that day for the WOD. Next is the owners/coaches - the gym is owned by a husband/wife team and they are like the "dream team" - both are really down to earth and super easy to talk to. Joining a new gym can be so intimidating and I really think Jess and Dave do a great job of getting know their members and their specific goals. You realize really quickly that both know what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up. The overall gym vibe is super laid back and it's not like some gyms where you are stepping into a fog of testosterone (aka Bro Down). Don't get me wrong - people are serious here about their fitness and when the workout starts it's all business; but they smile, they laugh and they are genuinely happy to be here. I consider myself to be a little socially awkward and introverted in group settings but everything about this place is inclusive and positive - that's a win in my book. If you are on the fence about joining a gym or feeling stuck from the past year, don't hesitate to check this place out. I have no regrets other than wishing I had done this sooner! read more

Hands down best CrossFit gym Ive been to! The gym owners and coaches truly care about the members and they've built an incredible community where all are welcomed & encouraged. I'm glad I found this spot and would recommend to all! read more

I usually look for three things at a CrossFit Gym: Price, Environment, and the Quality of the space/location. Price: On par if not lower than a lot of gyms in the area Environment: Friendly and motivating coaches as well as a great group of people to surround yourself with. Workouts can be scaled from "Beginner" to "I Can't Do That" (basically good for everyone) Quality: They just renovated and doubled their gym space with a great location in South Austin. It's a great place to get fit and push yourself to be better! read more

Best group workout gym in austin

Pain Cave has completely changed the game for me in only a few weeks. Brooke is an amazing coach who encourages everyone and has an amazing attitude every single day. I've never felt so strong, never felt so motivated. So stoked I found this amazing group of people. Highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to kick their fitness game up a gear. Definitely a game changer. read more

Joined in January. It is very hard for a fat man. But I am loving it. And hope to be in better health with their help.

Love this place. They have a solid program that I really enjoy.

The best gym in Austin! Where do I start? I came from an amazing gym so my standards were high from the start. Why? Because Crossfit is very expensive, if you're going to charge that much it better be worth it. From the start the owners, David Appel and Marcos Cordova, were extremely inviting and helpful. The atmosphere was great and the people were even better. Great sound system and super clean equipment! The trainers are very knowledgeable and uplifting, but one in particular, James Quigley! This man is a game changer, full of positivity and accountablity. I can't say enough good things about him, he's about growth, education and overall life improvement! Keep it up James. read more

Terrific Crossfit Box right off high traffic South Lamar. I joined about a month ago and I've been very excited by the diverse array of classes (every day except Sunday there's regular crossfit, pure weight training and more cardio-based bootcamp-style classes), supportive coaches and extremely friendly students. Also, the space is huge so you never feel crowded. Highly recommended. read more

Superb combination of top notch coaches, great facility, tough but scalable workouts, and fun people. I highly recommend dropping in to check it out if you are at all interested in crossfit. read more

I signed up at this box a month ago. it's a great facility and very convenient based on location. it's also a waste of time and money. I've been at crossfit 6 years and never seen programming like this. it's a beach body workout and not much more. they have this other program called "pain cave", KBs, rowers, etc. That's a better workout than the crossfit. if you want a real crossfit gym don't look here. members are vocal about the terrible programming and apparently there's been no improvement by the owners. I heard they had racks and removed them to de-emphasize the strength component of workouts. honestly I'm surprised they are allowed to call themselves "crossfit". read more

CrossFit South Lamar always makes me feel welcome. I drop in whenever I am in town. They encourage an atmosphere that is focused on community. They have an awesome sized box. Everything is so clean and organized. I couldn't ask for a better box to call home when I am visiting awesome. There is also a grass fed burger spot down the street (wholly cow) as well as a great coffee place (picnik) read more

Great spot. Dropped in from San Francisco. It was filled with good people, tons of equipment, and a great facility. Definitely recommend it.... read more

This is a great box. I was a member for 3 months when I initially moved to Austin. The instruction is top-notch, the WODs are challenging, and they have a great community. I recommend the Endurance class on Saturdays - an extended cardio WOD that's partner focused. read more

I LOVE this gym!! I've belonged to several gyms in Austin over the last 5 years and this is the first one that has everything I am looking for. The coach's have a wealth of knowledge and are consistently motivating and encouraging. I look forward to every class because I know I am going to be challenged and work harder than I ever would on my own...It's like personal training plus the benefits of having a team around you. The workouts are constantly varied so my body keeps guessing and I have gained strength and lost body fat since joining just 6 wks ago. The best part is that each class is loads of fun and I have met friends that have the same interests as me! read more
