Best Gym near Austin, Texas

Absolutely Amazing Gym! I recently switched from the Planet Fitness off West Anderson to the location at 6425 S I-35, and wow, what a difference! This gym is a total game-changer. From the moment I walked in, I could tell the vibe here is next level. The cleanliness is impeccable—everything from the workout floor to the locker rooms sparkles. It’s clear they take pride in maintaining a fresh and welcoming space. The equipment is in pristine condition, and I’ve never had to wait for a machine. The real stars, though, are the staff. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and genuinely seems to love what they do. And let me just say, Travis is absolutely phenomenal! He’s so approachable, makes sure the place runs like clockwork, and always has a smile on his face. Switching to this location has seriously upped my fitness game. If you’re looking for a clean, well-maintained gym with a positive, energetic atmosphere, you’ve got to check this one out! Trust me, it’s a whole new level of awesome.

Do not recommend opening an account with them at this location. it is always dirty and machines don’t out of service. what makes it worst is the I simply cannot reach anybody. no one answer phone calls ? call after call, morning afternoon and night no one ever answers. I happen to call the store in front of them while INSIDE and they simply ignored it. god forbid you guys leave anything behind and have to drive all the way over just to find it’s not there anymore.

Needs updated. Showers are super cold. No I will not contact management for you, It’s every club in the Austin area that is disgusting. It’s been taken over by homeless people and no one cleans up after themselves. Work to fix these gyms. I see them all going out of business here in the next 12 months.

I visited PF South, I-35 Hwy the first time. Before, I start my workout I wanted to observe the environment of the Gym. I went to all parts, which includes, showers, toilets, resting areas, a hydro machine, and massage chair. I was so excited, to observe a neat and clean environment. The beautiful part, of this gym, is, its equipment is new and well cared for. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I have visited a couple of gyms within Austin city and its surroundings. However, I am so satisfied with FP-IH-35 and congratulate the management for its well-organized facility. As, a member I am so happy, as I enjoy a neat & clean and friendly environment while looking after my health and fitness.

You know when a gym is racist how the staff greats you. I made eye contact to a hispanic woman and said hello. She looked up, then looked down, ignores me, but said Hola to the person who followed behind me. Then I walk into the men's locker room and I see a door missing with a suitcase in its place. Open another door a bunch of clothes stuff in a locker. Getting dressed, I saw two homeless black males rummaging through their clothes.

LOVE this gym!! The people who workout here and work here are super welcoming and the vibes are great!! I have had memberships at a few places in town and this has been the best!! Everything is well taken care of, the employees are helpful and quick to respond, they offer lots of classes, everyone cleans up after themselves and is respectful of others, and on top of all that… you get a sauna and cold plunges!!

Been a member for almost a year now and I have nothing but great things to say about this staff and the facilities! I’ve made tons of progress on my fitness goals thanks to the group and yoga classes in the Essential membership. It feels like my second home ❤️

I love love LOVE this facility. The environment they created here and positive energy is what I look forward to every day. The front desk staff, trainers, and members are all Incredibly kind and high energy. People don’t bother you when you workout, but somehow I’ve made a lot of friends here just due to the events, energy, and open-nature of the gym. The sauna and cold plunges are AMAZING. The equipment is new. The music is fun. They have cleaning staff that do a good job, but considering the weather in Austin, sweaty nature of functional, high-intensity training, and barefoot/shirtless policies, the cleanliness does need to be improved in my opinion. That would be my only feedback for this gym. Everything else is beyond expectations!! 10/10 recommend anyone coming here. It’s 100% worth the investment ❤️ and a little sweat didn’t hurt anyone either way!

I’m really grateful that Michael Paiser aligned with Onnit Gym. I love how he mixes things up for us. Everyone is waiting for him to create a signature OG class of his own. What are we waiting for? Also, would love for Michael to facilitate a handstand workshop. Kudos to you for attracting such talent.

I’ve been at Onnit gym for over a year and boy do I wish I joined small group training earlier. The workouts are awesomely hard and I enjoy the focus on conditioning. The community is fantastic. The majority of my closest friends in Austin, I’ve met here.

If you're serious about getting fit or taking your strength and fitness to the next level, this is the best gym in Austin. Beyond elite programming, it’s a diverse, vibrant community where members genuinely support each other's success. The coaches are top-tier—highly knowledgeable, dedicated, and invested in every athlete’s progress. They take the time to explain each training cycle and session, providing constant feedback and technical cues to ensure proper mechanics, maximize gains, and prevent injuries. The programming is next-level: data-driven, progressive, periodized, and comprehensive. It blends fitness science with years of coaching expertise, creating a clear and effective path to becoming a physically fit, mentally tough hybrid athlete. Many competitive athletes, fitness professionals, and elite military units/operators have sought out Atomic Athlete to make and keep them Stronger, Faster, and Harder to Kill. The community is the most unexpected and rewarding part of my experience. Friendships are forged through the shared challenge of hard work. I train alongside people from all walks of life and fitness backgrounds, and everyone is welcomed and supported, regardless of their experience level. The workouts push you, no matter where you start, and the shared commitment builds mutual respect and camaraderie. If you're looking for a gym that challenges, transforms, and supports you, this is it. We’re all here to work—hard—and it’s an environment that will elevate you every single day.

This year will mark 2 years of being an Atomic Athlete, and I only wish I had joined sooner! I have always been an athlete & competitor, I grew up playing sports and constantly needing to challenge myself both physically and mentally. My first day of Atomic quickly humbled me and I realized how much room for growth I really had. About 2 years later, I'm getting stronger, faster, and more consistent.. and still pushing the limits for myself. I have committed to dialing in on my nutrition and lost (and kept off) 10lbs of fat, I've gained muscle, and somewhere along the way built the confidence to train for a full marathon. The best part about it is, I'm never alone. Other athletes have also committed to races & competitions outside of the gym, and it really brings the sense of community full circle when you can find like-minded people to meet up with outside of the gym to help you achieve your goals. It is definitely more than just a gym, it's a lifestyle.

After trying a handful of gyms in Austin over the last 5 years, I can confidently say I've found the best spot for me at Atomic Athlete. The coaches, people, and programming are excellent. For the first time in a long time, I genuinely look forward to working out every day.

This is the best gym in the world! I have taken so many different programs, gyms, classes etc in my life but this one has to be the best in so many ways. The programming is really specialized and you can see that they are not only pros but thoughtful as well. For someone like me who has a few injuries (mostly my knees) I have regained alot of strength and have felt like I have come back even stronger than before my injuries occurred. The teachers are very motivating and awesome! The community aspect of this gym is also very heartwarming and fun, I recommend either location!

I’ve trained with many gyms over the years. From golds gym to group training gyms including kickboxing gyms and they all left me wanting something, actual community. A lot of gyms say they have it but it still feels like working out with strangers after 6 months. If I wanted to work out solo I would stay home. Atomic Athlete has been the most welcoming gym I’ve trained in and they have an actual program opposed to move sweat rinse and repeat. I’m a middle aged recovering couch potato with some preexisting injuries that they have helped me train with while not aggravating so I can keep training. This gym is not just for experienced athletes but they train to be as fit as possible opposed to maintaining average.

Great fitness facility for all types of athletes located in heart of honolulu. Very friendly and helpful staff with a wide variety of knowledge in nutrition, martial arts, and optimizing athletic performance. Love coming here.

Came in to check it out and was stoked to find this training center and sports nutrition company doing all the right things. Usually they only allow online sales but stoked me out and allowed me to grab my goods right then and there.

I ordered my supplements online and came down to ATH's new warehouse to pick up my goods! The staff is down to earth, let me check our their new facility, and test our their new POST Birthday Cake! So good! I'll be picking up my orders here from now on! Check it out.

Training center looks awesome! Stoked I could swing by and pick up my order yesterday.

I've been seeing this ditch all the time, and I always knew there was something about it. Some sort of something-something. A star quality maybe? It called to me. Then I found out it wasn't just any ditch, but _the_ ditch from Office Space! And I was like, whoa! What a great ditch. Now I take everyone I meet here. Family comes to visit from out of town and we stop and hangout in the ditch. It's great.

It's exactly like the movie. And me and my buddies posed like the scene best we could, and now have the honor of being the photo... So five stars. This one star guy doesn't know a good ditch.

A great ditch, as far as ditches go.

Tony, the front desk customer service representative was very helpful and kind to me. Very knowledgeable at his job, my questions were all answered. Very chill and friendly person. Gym was very clean and presentable.

Overall, it's a decent gym. Not too busy and has a decent amount of workout options. Equipment and facilities are clean and well maintained. This is not a place for the serious gymrat. There are no free barbell options. This is designed for a beginner to possibly intermediate gym goer. I do appreciate the attitude of the staff and clients, as most everyone is not judgemental or critiquing your actions. I personally prefer to have more options in a gym.

Best group of Employees Ever. They're always there to help and suggest new things for members to do and try. When you walk in they greet you and let you know if they can help to just ask. They make you feel like family!! I'm going to miss them when I move Love to each of you and big hugs each of you too who were there to chat, suggest and make each day there fun!!! Will miss you so much Hugs to you, Donna They deserve big raises 😘

I’ve been to about 20-30 different planet fitnesses around the US. Seen some bad ones, but this is up there. Despite the 24hr operations which is the only good factor. The facility has poor equipment, just barely any weighted machines and they use the older barbell press machines. The lighting in the facility was also pretty poor. Compared to other planet fitnesses, i could barely even see any muscles or gains due to the strict only overhead lighting. In addition, the whole building looked stuck in the 90s. The place desperately needs a relook or refurbishment with new machines. If this PF gets a refurbishment like the other PFs are. I’d be much more inclined to return. Otherwise, im just waiting for the slaughter location to reopen in the morning.

To whoever worked the desk this morning, there's no gray area when it comes to recording in the locker room. It clearly states on the planet fitness website that the number one rule for mobile devices is "Planet Fitness strictly prohibits the use of mobile devices to take photographs or videos or to make voice or video calls in the locker rooms but also in our black card spa area including individual rooms such as tanning rooms." You should have banned the girl.

I’m extremely disappointed with the treatment I’ve received at Gold’s Gym. As a paying member, I expected to feel valued, but instead, I feel overlooked and underappreciated. The staff seemed indifferent to my concerns, and it’s clear that customer satisfaction isn’t a priority here. For a brand with such a strong reputation, I anticipated better service and a more welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, this experience has left me questioning whether I’ll continue my membership. I hope Gold’s Gym takes steps to prioritize their members and create a more welcoming place

1) gym equipment: 10/10. Absolutely everything you need. No shortage of dumbbells, machines, nor anything else. 2) amenities: 100/10. I drive OUT OF MY WAY past other Gold's Gyms to come to here instead of the Ben White and West William Cannon locations. Why? Because OUT OF ALL THE GOLDS, THIS LOCATION HAS THE BEST DRY SAUNA IN THE CITY. It stays around 190 degrees, which according to Dr. Andrew Huberman, is the ideal temperature. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING A HOT SAUN--UNLIKE OTHER LOCATIONS. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF MY DAY. 3) customer service: 10/10. Employees are helpful, friendly, and professional. A a young man named "Rey" and a young woman named “Shelby” particularly exuded all of these qualities and more. As a former manager in retail, I can speak from experience that they exhibit elite customer-service skills. Made me feel warm and welcomed and valued. Definitely the type of characters that are promotable and that you want representing your business. Overall, 1000% satisfied customer. Absolutely no complaints. 10/10 everything. 5 stars. Come to this gym. You’ll have everything you need and won’t regret it.

This gym is awesome! Very nice and clean I’m always greeted by the staff at the front when I enter. Ive had personal training with Genesis for one year now she is awesome cares a lot about her clients and she won’t let you quit on yourself! Sauna is great and the classes they offer rock! Def recommend 100%

This place is the worst Golds in all of Austin. It’s dirty af. The machines are not kept up and a lot of them are half broken. All the equipment looks like it was sourced from muscle beach in the 80s. They keep this place hot and don’t turn the ac on. There is also a bad smell that I can’t put my finger on. And there aren’t enough wiping stations so half the people don’t wipe the equipment after they use them. There are two dead crickets just hanging out in the middle of the floor in a heavy walkway. This gym fails on every single level. It’s way more worth it to fight the crowds and drive the distance to the Golds on Slaughter and Congress

Only open during business hours. A few hours later maybe, but need a 24 hour gym. Loved the amenities listed, but doesn't do any good if they aren't open during the hours I need. Probably great for people that can break away from working in the office Edit after reply: I have contacted each of the golds in the austin and san marcos areas, southeast Austin location told me they are NOT 24 hour, and san marcos location, even though listed as so, is also not 24 hour. When I asked each of the people I talked to, both stated NO Golds in this area is open 24 hours. Regardless of what the hours on Google say. I do appreciate the reply back though Golds! I was just giving my honest opinion of why it doesn't work for me.

Joining this gym has changed my life! I attend the south location for early morning workouts (known as the breakfast club) and it is in my opinion the best gym in South Austin! Great atmosphere, perfect programming, lots of options for any level regardless of experience. I had no strength training prior, but now can comfortably snatch, clean, and jerk, as well as plethora of accessory workouts provided by the gyms Team builder/ Push press app. As a native South-Austinite with a full time blue collar job, I would absolutely recommend this hidden gym (pun-intended).

I recently got back into Oly Lifting a few months ago after not lifting since college. It was very important to me to find a gym with experienced and certified Oly coaches, and a warm and friendly community of fellow lifters. Austin Barbell has exceeded my expectations for both. Great facility, great coaches, great community. Excellent for beginners and experienced lifters alike.

Austin Barbell has wonderful and welcoming environment. Where the people come first and everyone is treated equal. The coaches and the community are very supportive and laid back. The gym consists of athletes of all ranges and the coaches are very knowledgeable and attentive. I am a former competitor and have been part of this sport for over a decade. I've been to many gyms and what I find here is rare. I recommend anyone looking for a community to visit.

I trained at Austin Barbell Club (South) while temporarily in town on a consulting job. I can honestly say it’s one of the best weightlifting gyms I’ve been to. The facility is top-notch — spacious and fully equipped with all the latest gear from barbells, weights, squat racks and Olympic platforms. There's also a separate room specifically designated for squatting and pulls. It's perfect for the beginning lifter to the seasoned pro. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommend if you’re looking to get strong! Competing requires discipline, a greater commitment to one self to aim for higher, and grit to keep going no matter how many times you get knocked down. The high scorers of grit in studies have shown to have better resilience. How do you train grit, commitment, and discipline? I found a way that works for me is Austin Barbell South. I’ve noticed improvement in my personal life, service to others and overall well being. Wisdom and character are a couple of things I hope people can remember me for. Lifting the barbell and firing off motor neurons with that type of training helps develop those for me. I recently did my first American Open Series 2 and the support was phenomenal. Competing and stepping out of my comfort zone has really helped me grow in ways I needed to.

I like this location, close to my home. Stuff is really nice and friendly! But cleanliness is so bad. Ventilation is clogged, floors really dusty and littler all around. Some machines broke for a while and no one fix it. This location needs cleaning team ASAP!!

I had a fitness assessment with Mason at LA Fitness, and I was thoroughly impressed. He was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire session. Mason took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and made me feel comfortable. I could tell he genuinely cared about helping me reach my fitness goals. He did a fantastic job, and I highly recommend working with him. Great experience overall!

No clock in men’s locker room. Strictly shitty pop mixes on the overhead speaker. No hot water in showers. HGTV on the TVs. (?????) No resistance bands. Pretty smelly. Overall shitty gym. Just turn on ESPN and the radio and it would be 2 stars.

Men's bathroom is hardly ever effectively cleaned properly. I see the cleaning employee often back there but he does the bare minimum. For example coming in to do a very brief sweeping of the floors. Honestly those floors needs to be buffed to remove all of the stuff that has accumulated. Same with the showers as they are hardly ever properly cleaned. I am surprised health department hasn't visited.

I’m giving 5 stars because of the sales manager. He's professional, straightforward, nice, and really gets it. Hey LA Fitness, could you swap out some of those cardio machines for more weightlifting gear, especially leg machines? There just aren’t enough leg machines, but everything else seems pretty good. Oh, and it’d be cool to have cleaning supplies close by so they’re easy to grab without walking a mile!

The new machines are excellent, with perfect ergonomics. The gym is always clean, paper towels dispensers always full. And the staff is always professional, courteous, and efficient. Thank you for providing such a great place to workout.

I was harrased by management for not putting cable attachments back . I feel singled out just for being committed to my fittness journey . When I approached manager to discuss being singled out I was given an attitude and treated poorly. KIds should not be a manager if they are on power trip. He openely addmitted to watching me on camera In this judgement free zone. Which I asked why are you judging me. I left after he treated me rudely he always had to have the last word. There is no freedom of speech in planet fittnes. This is a shame.

Nice staff. Other members can be weird lol especially the selfie ones in the lockers. Showers are gross. Plenty of working machines and they’re usually freed up when I go.

Glad I quit this gym. Three of the guys on staff are creepy and talk about the female members’ looks. That makes it extremely uncomfortable, not to mention completely unprofessional. My membership cancellation goes into effect on the 17th, and I have not been back to this gym even though they told me I could still use it until then.

My experience is very positive. I am glad this gym is close to my house. I work out three times a week for very little money.
