The staff were friendly and the teacher made a point of speaking to me before and after i assume because i wasnt a familiar face. I would definitely recommend this location.

Great spot for a full-body workout with instructors who actually know your name and make you feel…read moreat home. The free intro class was super helpful--Girlie walked me through all four class types and gives extra attention to newcomers. Classes break down like this: 'Align' feels more yoga-based, 'Define' leans into weights, and 'Classic' mixes both. After about 10 classes, I definitely feel stronger and more toned, even going twice a week. Plus, the schedule is flexible. When I was out sick for 2 weeks , Jazmine checked in on me and even added a class credit without me asking. As someone new, it really boosted my confidence and made me feel like they genuinely care about their members. Only downside: the Classic class is so popular that (IMO) it can get a bit packed.

Spoiler alert: it absolutely humbled me--in the best way possible. The workout was fire--low-impact but insanely effective. My muscles were shaking (hello, burn!) and I was smiling the whole time. The energy in the studio is electric. Great music, great vibes, and the instructors? Absolute gems. They're uplifting, knowledgeable, and made sure I felt supported while still pushing me to dig deeper. And the staff & owner? So friendly, so welcoming. From the second I walked in, I felt like I belonged there. No awkward first-timer vibes, just good energy and a seriously good sweat. Can't wait to go back. If you're an athlete looking to switch it up or just want a killer workout that surprises you in all the right ways--go check it out. You won't regret it!

Workouts are updated once every 3 months or so but you can always turn down the volume and do your own thing instead of following along. The team does a great job keeping the saunas clean. Almost all the people using this gym are conscientious and quiet. So far there are many time slots where there are not many if any people signed up so you can have the sauna all to yourself (I've only shared the room one time). Easy to book. Fairly easy to use the app. The door has both a coded lock and an app for entry for 24-7 access. Easy parking in this little plaza. There is a bike rack at the far end of the building but I chain up my bike near the ramp nearby.

I get some of the best sleep ever on the days that I work out in the sauna. Give it a try.

Gundega's Yoga classes are a great work out, and help me better cope with demands from a stressful job. I find Yoga to be a great way to clear my mind, build strength, and tone muscle. I always feel amazing after class and the following day. The studio is in a residential neighborhood in North Austin which I remember feeling much less intimidating than attending for the first time at a big studio. Gundega is a great teacher, very instructive and knowledgable, and always keeps the mood positive and light. Classes are well attended but never uncomfortably large at the studio. Highly recommended!

Whole Body Fitness I…read moreparticipated in the 45-minute class in Agave Fitness Center. My instructor, Ivonete, had a unique style that heavily focused on using multiple muscle groups at once and posture. We used many weight machines, and rather than simply doing the default movement that worked one body part, she taught us methods to engage both core and legs, or both legs and arms. It was just me and one other woman in the class, so when we both expressed a little confusion about exactly what Ivonete meant about certain postures, she put things on hold and took a lot of time to carefully explain and show to us the right way to do it. I love when instructors truly spend time working closely with you to make sure you have the right form, as it makes sure you aren't injured and maximize the workout. Ivonete invented the blue mats you see behind her, which have footprints and handprints to help you maintain proper form in a variety of exercises. http://maiden-voyage-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_0832.jpg Breath Work I ended up being the only person who attended this session, and it was amazing getting the personal attention. This workshop was out in Solidago Gardens, which is secluded from the rest of the resort. I walked past a stone labyrinth (pictured below) and approached a building enclosed in a stone wall that looked like an Asian temple. I entered the courtyard, and there was a waterfall fountain. I opened two large wooden doors and entered a stunning wooden room with a high ceiling and skylight. It truly felt like a sanctuary or temple in China or Asia. Susan, my instructor, was a lovely woman who was soft-spoken and soothing. She discussed the anatomy of breathing, and how being conscious of our breathing can help us in our day-to-day lives. She had me lie down and close my eyes, and she talked me through a very relaxing breathing exercise. After that, she told me that breath work can help us in several situations in life. There is a type of breathing that helps energize you and pumps energy into your veins (if you've done Bikram, it's the Pranayama breathing you use at the beginning of class). There is a type of breathing that helps relax you when you're stressed and anxious, and there's a type of breathing that can help drift you into sleep or meditation. There is one other type that now I'm forgetting. She let me choose which strategies I was most interested in and taught them to me. Toward the end, she had me lie down again and walked me through another soothing breathing exercise. I left so relaxed. http://maiden-voyage-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_0832.jpg Emily

There is a basketball gym for shooting hoops, an indoor pool and hot tub, sauna, steam room, and an outdoor fitness area with weights and a small turf area for active exercise. There's also a recovery area with hydromassage chairs, a red light treatment room, and cryotherapy booth. The small additional cost for unlimited use of these facilities is a huge bargain if you consider what it would cost to get Cryo treatments for example at a local shop. The gym is kept in good condition-equipment is repaired quickly and the locker rooms are very clean. Some of the decor is dated having been converted from a 24 Hour Fitness unit but it's not bad at all. Staff is super friendly and eager to help. Highly recommended.

What I like about this place is that they have lots of machines for working out your major muscle groups ESPECIALLY for your back. Plenty of high row, mid row, pull up bars, and various back other machines. Most of the equipment are well maintained with the exception of some ripped material in a couple. Everyone here is very nice and it's great to see everyone clean after themselves after working out. They have plenty of antibacterial wipes throughout the gym for people to wipe their station down. The price is very reasonable and towel service is included which is a great perk. Compared to the other gyms, this is the most clean and modern gym I've been to. My only nit pik is the men's bathroom. It can get a little smelly because there doesn't seem to be much ventilation. Not much they can do, but maybe install a air freshener machine that sprays from time to time.
