    I have been going to Dane's now for ~6 months. I had been going to a Crossfit gym for years, but…read moredecided I wanted to make a change. The class programming at Dane's is setup so that you generally have 1-2 warm up sessions, possibly a strength session, then there will be 1-2 high-intensity sessions, and finally a "fusion" (cool-down/stretching) session. Everyday is different - you'll never do the same boring warm-up or cool-down routine. The coaches are fantastic. For the first half of 2017 I wasn't able to workout after breaking my ankle playing "bubble soccer" (note to self: don't play bubble soccer again). When I finally was ready to get back at it, I decided to give Dane's a try. The coaches were super understanding and helped me find substitute movements when needed. They're quick to make recommendations on form and technique improvements. Class size is generally between 8-15 students, so I rarely have an issue with getting personal attention if needed. They have a decent amount of equipment, but occasionally you may run into issues with too few dumbbells. Classes are not uber competitive. You don't write your time down or number of reps on the wall. You're competing against yourself. They offer several types of classes and the monthly subscription includes them all: Strength, Fusion and Yoga. The members at Dane's are fun and they host a lot of events. These run the gamut from impromptu post workout happy hours, to "Push-Pull" events, to fun charity events like "Burpees for Bros." If you're looking for a great place to workout with good programming, great coaches, and a fun community, then I would strongly recommend giving Dane's a try.

    I've gone to a couple of community classes with my sister who lives in Austin. We went the day…read moreafter Thanksgiving and Dane made it such a fun workout! I would recommend it to anyone in Austin.

    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.

    I was preparing myself to have back surgery for adult scoliosis but Sumair asked if I'd let him…read morework on my back daily for a week to see if he couldn't help. Mind you that I had been in physical therapy for 9 months prior to TrainLifeFit seeing me--the pt had helped but pain relief and correct posture only lasted 2 hours after each session. I was pleasantly shocked at the relief Sumair provided, corrected my posture by releasing muscles that were constricted and he explained to me that my weak lats were a big source of my issues. Going into my second session, I'm feeling confident that my correct posture will return and my pain vanished, hoping to avoid surgery.

    I've been training with Sumair for almost a year, so buckle in, this is a long, thorough review!…read more Before I came to see Sumair, I had struggled for years with back and hip issues. I had an extreme lack of mobility, and my pain was at about a 7 or 8 every day. I was limping around at age 36 like a much older person. At that point I had tried everything - tons of physical therapy, 4 different trainers, chiropractors, massage...nothing worked. When I began with Sumair, I couldn't do much of anything. I mean, I had zero range of motion and very little strength. If you're feeling self conscious or scared, please don't let that stop you, we have all been there, and I would argue that is where TrainLifeFit really shines. Sumair has built TLF to be a holistic program. What makes it so great is that it is a body/mind/emotions program. What does it matter if you can do a proper push up if your mind has been programmed to believe that you CAN'T do things because you "just don't have the body for it"? Because I am petite and small, that's what I had been told. I'd also been told that my pain was just my "new normal," and to get used to it, so Sumair also had to help me overcome my sad sad sad mental programming about my body. He also taught me about mechanics and how to recognize what was going on with my body. That understanding was reinforced through the homework he gave me, so now I have the ability to identify what's happening and work through it on my own. That's important for the other days when I'm not training with him, and I cannot overstate how much it improved my relationship with my body. I now understand it and know what it needs. So my result is, less than a year later, my pain is at about a 1. I have gained significant strength, stability and muscle mass. My winter coat didn't fit this year because my arms and back had gotten bigger! My mobility is excellent and I have recently begun to run again, an activity I had been told wasn't available for me anymore. But most importantly, I trust my body. I know it is capable of much more than I had been told. I understand it, I have a vocabulary to describe what is happening with it, and I no longer treat it like an annoying employee by getting frustrated when it doesn't do what I say. So you can train anywhere. But if you want a transformation, I recommend TrainLifeFit.
