Best Gym near San-antonio, Texas

Just joined. Wanted to share first impressions. Pros: Staff seems very nice. Areas seem clean had plenty of wipes for equipment. Hours are great and doesn’t seem very busy which is great. Price was excellent through active fit! Cons: Men’s shower has zero privacy. Think prison shower scenes. They really need to update it with at the least curtains. Men’s sauna controlled by switch which I can tell is going to be a problem. I like a sauna session after and before workouts, took an hour to warm up before I could use it and someone switched it off while I was working out so it cooled down again. Not sure why it isn’t conveniently left on for sue during member hours. Doesn’t seem to be a lot of plates for equipment? I know a few people that could literally leg press all the 45 plates they have available on the floor at once. (Tho they do have a lot of equipment to use overall.) also lockers need to be changed to (bring your own lock) because it seems like everyone just took the keys lol. Will give it a try for a few weeks but I just wanted management to get some first impression feedback. A little bit of upgrades on some curtains, locking the on off switch to on and down extra 45 plates would make this perfect for my tastes.

Was very skeptical to step back into the gym after social media videos of gyms and negstive videos. But was met by Aj who showed me around . Assured me this place was not like that and usually people make friends within days. I have been coming consistantly for over 2 months now and have met the nicest people and met new friends as well within weeks . No judgement everyone including trainers ,employees and customers are beyond helpful and not your stereotypical gym. Everyone has helped me progress and feel comfortable and no doubt you will feel the same as well. Keep up the hard work employees ,trainers and owners. and see yall future gym addicts soon .

If you are looking for a professionally run, meticulously clean gym that has all the equipment and classes you need, has a great vibe, and that isn’t one of the giant corporate cookie cutter gyms, you need to consider a membership at Move Fit Live. I love the size and feel of this gym. It isn’t too big or too small. The trainers associated with this gym are top notch and are sincerely invested in helping you achieve your fitness goals. And best of all, the owner of Move Fit Live believes in giving back to the community. The gym hosts several charitable community events throughout the year. I’m so happy being a part of the Move Fit Live family.

Move Fit Live is the best gym I have ever experienced. I started my membership at the beginning of the year, hoping to stay committed to the gym. And I hired a personal trainer (AJ) who has made me feel confident in the gym. I look forward to going to the gym and getting my workouts in. The environment is amicable and is nonintimating. The staff is very friendly, and the gym is always clean. I do not know of any other gym that can make you feel more comfortable than Move Fit Live.

Can’t recommend Move Fit Live enough as your home gym. An incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming staff mixed with all the equipment you can ask for makes for a great experience. You get the culture and feel of a private gym while also having the cleanliness and organization of a corporate gym. Move Fit Live offers classes, personal training, and community events that really make your membership feel special.

The coaches here are knowledgeable, care about their instruction, ensure safety and assist all athletes to learn and improve. It’s been a pleasure watching my sons push themselves and be coached by the staff at Redline. All of the coaches are top notch. They spend time explaining and answering all my questions and are dedicated to ensure goals are met. Great place!

Noah has been going to Redline for two and half years and it has made all the difference. He has always been an athletic kid, but we realized a few years ago that his footwork just wasn't where it needed to be. We decided to try Redline and we couldn't be happier. Now people are constantly asking us what we are doing to get Noah's footwork as good as it is? I always tell them Redline Athletics on Tradesman. The coaching staff at Redline is second to none. They spend a lot of time not only working with the kids on drills, but they taken an honest interest in the kids goals and build specialized training programs for each athlete. They even have special programs for my son depending if he is on or off season training. There is no doubt in our mind that Redline Athletics has helped propel Noah to that next level and will continue to prepare him for the future. Jeremiah Logsdon

I took my 13 year old for a one on one soccer session with Duane and I couldn’t have been more impressed. He was professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure my daughter enjoyed the training. During every drill he explained to both of us what he was looking for and why. His only concern was making sure that we both learned and shared his love for the game. My daughter talked about how much she loved the session the entire way home. We can’t wait to go to the small group sessions! Highly recommended!

Amazing staff here at redline , from the coaches to the general manager . They truly love molding our youth Into athletes and it shows every time we walk I to train with them. My son rock and I absolutely love coming to train here !! The coaches have impressive pedigrees and are extremely knowledgeable. If you haven’t tried this place yet , you are missing the train guys !!! They truly know how to build athletes! Great job redline !!!!

I am so appreciative of Redline. They are keeping my son active and his fitness has improved leaps and bounds since starting at Redline. The coaches are top notch and know their stuff. I also love how convenient the schedule is, we can go to classes whenever it works for our family. We will for sure sign up again, the investment is worth every penny.

We love the friendly youth sports leagues, the variety of classes and camps, and we especially love the twice monthly Parents' Night Out. We can drop off our 2 boys for 4 hours for $50 and go on a real dinner date! The kids love spending time at the Y Kids Club when we work out or take a class. Plus, the park across the street is always a hit. Absolutely a wonderful place for families.

The new Pound class with drumsticks was fun - just enough challenge with encouraging instructor Savannah.

Love the YMCAs in San Antonio! I always feel welcome at the YMCA at O.P. Schnabel and have made a lot of friends here since becoming a member about four years ago. The group exercise classes are great and the selection of youth activities is good also. Has been a wonderful place for my whole family.

My son absolutely did not want to take swim lessons. During his first lesson with Ella at the YMCA at O.P. Schnabel Park , he told me he wished the lesson was longer and asked if he could take lessons every summer. I'm so grateful that Ella makes learning so much fun and less scary for him. He actually looks forward to it now! Five stars!

Great place of all ages….. They have incredible healthy programs and provide personal training for anyone who is interested.ai love this place ….. Member since 2012

I love that it’s open 24/7 & the hydromassage is definitely worth it 💯 Mike’s customer service is always on point, i appreciate you Mike 🙏🏼 Enrique is on point always keeps the gym clean & safe with a positive attitude always i appreciate you 👍🏼

I had a similar experience as mentioned from other reviews regarding billing. As a first-time gym goer, I was incredibly disappointed by my experience with Crunch Fitness and their billing practices. I initially signed up for the $25/month plan with my wife, but the very next day, I inquired about downgrading to the $9.99/month plan. To my surprise, I was told this would require paying four separate annual fees! Despite this, I continued with the $25/month plan until I lost my job in late August and had to move. I called Crunch and spoke with a supervisor who assured me they could freeze my account for three months without any charges. Fast forward to today, and my situation hasn't changed, so I called to cancel. I was met with "Andrew," a manager with zero customer service skills, who simply recited policy at me and informed me I was past due. I haven't used the gym in over three months! This whole experience has been a nightmare. I feel misled and taken advantage of. I refuse to pay these past-due fees, and frankly, this has soured me on the entire gym industry.

I would like to thank Denise and Jazmin for their patience in helping me get set up as a new gym member. Long story short, they went the extra mile to try different solutions for an account setup process that wasn’t exactly linear. Most people default to doing the bare minimum, so I appreciate them for not being those type of people. If the rest of the staff do customer service like Denise and Jazmin, then I’m sure gym members for Crunch - Bandera will be in good hands.

Save your money this gym is HELLA DIRTY all the time. The place leaks all the time. The machines are always broken. The staff are lazy af and don’t trust the stuff the hold ur items they just going to steal it. Yall are better off getting a membership somewhere else.

My spouse and I really enjoy coming to the gym. Everyone is always friendly and the gym is clean. My only disappointment has been the coaches when they are training. I understand you are doing personal training, but please be courteous of other members who also pay for their membership. Yes, the member has payed extra for your personal time , but our time should be valued too. Please avoid just giving us a stare to move or say you will be taking over the machine. This is the third time this has happened to my spouse and I. Thank you.

Came here because the gym I normally go to was crowded. This gym is so unkept. All the machines are squeaky and noisy. Some of them barely work. The cables to the pulleys are all worn out. Weights are scattered and not sorted correctly. The placement of all the machines is very poor as well. I wouldn't come here, just go to the bigger gym across 1604 because the setup there is years ahead of this one.

Gym is in good condition, gets pretty full like anywhere else but I get a good workout in. Locker rooms are usually kept clean as well.

Only let's locals work out here. Dumb policy. Response to GM Lauren: The person I spoke with had an attitude and didn't tell me there was a paid day pass. They told me I couldn't use the gym or get any day pass unless I was a texas resident and had an attitude about it, not understanding I'm not a texas resident, basically telling me I can't come and use this gym at all when I've used it before and told me I had to go somewhere else. It's was some young guy. Upset enough to leave a review.

I have been a member of this gym location when it was a Spectrum Gym. It was a good gym until CoVid happened and the management closed down the hot tub, steam baths and swimming pool. Also, in 2021 the management removed several of the good tread mills and replaced them with used older models. This week the management removed the last two good tredmills and have abandoned us to the vintage models that are more uncomfortable to exercise on. I have been exercising regularly since 1975 and I am an old time marathon runner. I can handle the tougher machines but they are not good for novice runners or people who want to run on a modern more comfortable machine. I am disappointed in Bandera Pointes’ downward spiral into a less comfortable poverty look with the tread mills that they have chosen. I can handle it but I am not a glutton for punishment but I think the management are.

UPDATE WARNING: I have downgraded my original 3 star review to 1 star due to charges still being billed to me months after cancellation. I canceled my non-contract bi-weekly military membership after moving completely out of state by filling out their cancellation form in-person at their front desk. Fast forward 60 Days later and I am still being charged the membership fees to my account. I have not been able to contact anyone of importance at this gym because they’re all “busy.” This is a scam tactic used by many gyms like golds, and it looks like it’s happened to hundreds of other people who try to cancel their gym memberships. I have now cancelled my debit account to stop charges, but I have seen others get collection agencies harassing them and hits on their credit for taking this route. If you’re reading this, don’t join Golds Gym unless you want to never be able to cancel the membership. Original Review: Over the past year this place has definitely gone downhill as far as cleanliness and clientele it attracts. Ever since they got rid of the color gym tier levels (used to be a ruby gym), this place got busier and less maintenance is performed on basic things like worn seat upholstery on equipment. They have the typical gym crowd levels with 4:30-7:30 pm on weekdays being very busy, and the first 2 months after New Years being very very busy with people who typically never go to the gym and just walk on all the treadmills for a hour. For the most part, no one is there on the weekends though (I took the photo I’m providing on a Saturday at 4 pm) Overall it’s a smaller Golds Gym that could use some work.

Favorite location on the northwest side of town. Smaller in comparison to other locations but has everything I need. I never have to skip over a workout or machine from being over crowded like at other locations. Very well kept with an outstanding cleaning staff present daily.

Easy going no frills gym. Greeted with a smile and leave with a goodbye. Staff is nice. Easy check in. No pressure here. Staff from what I can see do an excellent job training folks. They seem knowledgeable and consistent with other members. The gym is aged but hard to leave with the laid back people there. Cleaned really well during the week. Weekend is a different story. As of late watered down body soap in mens room for hand washing. Parking is abundant and windows to look out to see if car is getting broke into. Price is fair. Also a lot of fellow veterans there. Afternoons the place is empty. I highly recommend joining.

Everything I've been looking for! New equipment, a pool, beautiful locker rooms, a sauna, a women's only area (for my girlfriend), and much more! The location is superb, as it does not get very busy during lunch hours.

I've been coming here for about a year now, maybe a little longer. This location has very friendly staff, and the vibe here is laid back. I think it's a great location for a mature crowd and beginners. No intimidation from staff or members. I was worried because it's small, but I've grown to like that. The manager is professional and friendly. It makes for an inviting atmosphere.

Great gym! Staff is friendly! Not very crowded, and has a good selection of exercise equipment.

This is my second home going on seven years This place has more pros than cons then Golds gym, very organized and smelling fresh as if the place just opened up, the weights are always stacked neatly. Great music. Amazing decor with motivational quotes. The staff are always friendly and respectful. The members are very friendly and inspiring. This is Home. Always recommending to my friends & family

Pretty nice gym and conveniently located for me at least. One of the more expensive options in the area. Staffed hours and equipment maintenance are hit-and-miss. Other members often mess up the organization and equipment and then just leave it. Nice and quiet most of the day though.

Best anytime fitness in San Antonio! There’s a wide variety of equipment and gym is very spacious. Never feels crowded. Everything is kept clean & equipment is well maintained. Members & staff are respectful & friendly. Amberlynn was very knowledgeable & helpful.

I love this location as they have the BEST manager, Amberlynn. She is very helpful with any and every question or concern that I have. It is also one of the cleanest gyms I've personally been to. The gym environment feels friendly and positive. Definitely recommend!

I scheduled 2 separate appointments for membership and was stood up both times in spite of confirming, calling, texting, and showing up physically for both appointments. My opinion is that this gym does not value your time, does not care if you show up or not, and does not possess the discipline to follow through.

LA Fitness of San Antonio on Potranco Village is a decent gym. It features your usual LA Fitness selection of equipment, though some of it may be outdated. The bench presses are however lopsided, which drastically decreased our efficiency. They also need to add way more of them. However, the lockers and bathrooms were clean and modern, which I haven’t seen before in LA Fitness. Overall, this is a decent LA Fitness, it’s not too bad but it’s not the best.

So I’ve been going here for over a year and I have seen a steady decline. The cleanliness, staff, equipment. All of it has been horrible and just not worth your money. If you want your kids to come here DONT DO IT. Although the young ladies working the “day care” are polite, the hours are from 08-1200. Horrible times for people who work. The equipment (treadmills, smith machines, ab machines, leg extensions etc) are always broken or have pads that need replaced. The men’s sauna has siding that is cracked or broken and the roof of the sauna has a plank that is just hanging for dear life. I encourage you all to find another gym. My wife, myself and my brother have all canceled our memberships and we won’t be returning or speaking highly of this establishment.

Not the greatest diversity of equipment, but it’s functional. I always appreciate an indoor basketball court. Would enjoy some updated equipment, but I feel this is a result of the area of town it’s in. All in all good place to get a good pump 💪🏿

Sam / Hussad which the front desk representative has 2 names because he lied about his. Is the only reason this gym has 1 Star. He was very rude and disrespectful to my family and I. He stopped us from going in. Our account was up to date on payments like always. I asked him why he stopped us. He started raising his voice to me only. Not my husband. He lied about his name. He stated " he is pissed off now and calling the police. " He also stated that his manager Chris doesn't care if I report him. He would only talk to my husband because it's a man conversation. What triggered him is the word " ridiculous " horrible person he is to disrespect me in front of my family. I hope Chris takes care of this.

Horrible location, from the operational manager down. One of the staff members gave out my personal information to another guest. Definitely would stay away! I see why LA fitness is starting to struggle in San Antonio. Gold's, fitness connection, crunch, hell even planet Fitness is better. If you wanna go to a gym where you're treated with respect and there are good people; definitely don't go here. It's disgusting how some of the staff is at this gym, if you value customer service this gym isn't it! They're always rude to their guests, not helpful, and will lie to your face with a smile. So again stay away from this gym, there are better places to work out and have a great experience, as LA Fitness is not one of them. We must put a stop to fitness centers like this! And the way to do that is by sharing this with everyone you know.

One of the larger and more updated Gold’s locations in San Antonio but that’s about where the positives end. The staff leave much to be desired compared to other locations. I’m used to walking in to friendly employees but the ones at this location seem checked out. Most recently I brought in a friend that was considering switching from LA fitness to Golds and the girl working at the front desk had an attitude and seemed annoyed to have to help. He ultimately decided not to get a membership and now I’m considering canceling if that’s the treatment I receive for trying to bring Gold’s more business.

Customer service at the front desk is very friendly. Coaches are genuine, relatable, and give just the right amount of encouragement to help meet your goals. There’s a variety of equipment that’s usually readily available and cleaning stations set up throughout which is a must-have for any gym. Theresa is my trainer and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She’s helped me feel stronger every session.

Great gym with a good variety of equipment. I rarely see broken equipment here and if it is, it's usually fixed pretty quickly. This is also one of the few gyms in the area with a good sauna. Been getting gainz at this location for min now, and have no plans on stopping anytime soon 😤😤

I recently started going to this gym, I love the atmosphere of the people there working out, and locker rooms are always clean! There’s a new manager and he’s very polite and so helpful! The only problem I have is the staff, particularly the girls aren’t the friendliest and sometimes they don’t even greet you when you come in! I want to be able to feel excited and motivated to workout, especially being 8 months postpartum! I already feel self conscious as it is, why do they have to give me ugly faces when I walk into the gym? I don’t understand. I looked at the other reviews and 3 months ago some girl posted the same thing about the staff. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE! We need better staff to make us feel great about going to Golds, like I chose the right gym! Sometimes I feel bullied cause they walk around the gym in pairs just talking and looking at me ugly. I don’t understand?

It gets pretty busy on weekday afternoons but the hot tub and sauna are pretty consistently working and the outdoor pool is rarely packed.

Keep this man here or promote him no matter what. Irvin listens to all sides and is unbiased and loving in any instance or altercation. From vet to vet has kept me safe. And dealing with my ptsd and demons from people who don’t know me. Ty Irvin. I feel safe when I work out here and feel like I belong. I’ve been to some places where I’m not welcomed . So it’s good to have a rock to look forward to everyday with this gym. This Gym is paramount . Ty for your service fr fr

Gold’s Gym is an outstanding place to work out! The facility is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a great fitness experience. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. Gym staff James went out of his way to answer some questions about certain equipment. Highly recommend this gym for anyone serious about their fitness goals!

I’m a brand new Golds Gym member. I took advantage of the $1 sign up and came in the 1st to fully activate and start my membership. I cannot tell you how much anxiety I felt as most first timers feel when coming into any gym. James didn’t even give me time to panic lol His warmth energy and kindness confirmed I was definitely in the right place. He didn’t just take my picture and wash his hands of my membership. I will add that I’m a plus size girl and when I asked him if he had any trainers with experience in helping someone of my size his words were “What size? Beautiful?” Very kind and he knew exactly who to schedule me with. I admitted that I was nervous about hurting myself and having to postpone my fitness journey before I even began and he reassured me I was in great hands. He explained all my Golds benefits and made sure I had what I needed throughout my workout. His energy and vibe is why I made sure to give him a review today.. We need more employees that are here to help and do it with an open heart ♥️ You’re awesome James thank you 🙏🏻 for your motivation

My friend and I came in to sign up and was greeted by James as soon as we walked in! He sure did make our day! Very attentive and answered all our questions. Really made us feel welcomed and excited about working out. You can definitely tell he loves what he does! Thank you James.

Where to start? I'm a USAF veteran who's been in distress for about 2 weeks, I walked in the gym hoping to lift myself out of a dark place mentally, JAMES greeted me with the brightest attitude when me and my family walked in and gave me a guest pass on my brothers membership. He showed me a couple machines, getting me out of my head and motivating me to start working out. By the end of my workout I had made a few friends, help a prayer in the bathroom, played racquetball, and felt 100x better. JAMES you changed my entire outlook and perspective. You're a blessing bro. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE HES A BLESSING.

Our daughter enjoys the coaching staff and fellow teammates. Left 1 star off due to the way the monthly sign up works. I don't know the solution to the way it's done, but it's first come, first serve the morning of the 1st of each month. Our daughter has moved up teams and is missing an entire month because we couldn't stop work and jump online to sign her up before spots were taken. It's hard to commit to a "club" when you can't even be assured you have a spot in the program.

We love Xtreme! The coaches here are amazing. I've seen so much improvement in her skills here. I do wish they would swap out coaches every month for the clinics so we could get something different but overall it's great!

Please take responsibility of your coaches instead of blaming the customer who is paying for services that are not being rendered. You are not acknowledging the fact that before a no call no show my daughters lessons were rescheduled multiple times last minute with no rescheduled date, and no response from the coach. The lack of professionalism and communication is very sad considering the amount of money I have paid to this organization. I will make sure word of mouth spreads fast, that your company is unorganized and no customer service friendly. I will take my money and business elsewhere to another company who understands what running a professional business is like. Again, stay far away from this organization everyone!

As a result of the volleyball season being canceled due to the pandemic virus, Xtreme Athletics has opted to credit 15% ($238) out of the cost of the 12's program ($1,580). This is not even a refund, it's a credit to be used on limited services. I emailed Janie (Director), Rick (her son), and Elora (daughter) on June 1st requesting an explanation for this low credit, but have not received a response to date. Other clubs like Impact and SA Force have provided actual refunds with product incentives in an effort to maintain membership. In addition, many coaches at Xtreme have left since many of them have not been paid for their services.

Stay far away from this place!!!! They are crooks! No one communicated effectively with you and they are so rude as well. Paid for private lessons and they cancelled multiple times with no explanation, the gym was never available for private lessons, and communication was non existent! Look somewhere else for volleyball for your child, they just want money and do not care about the customer at all!!!!

Like (most) others in the chain; this Planet Fitness upholds the standards of a very safe and very clean gym and shower facility. And, like those others always has a very friendly staff that is always on task but also readily available to assist with anything you may need. I'm very glad my wife joined planet fitness, as she always seems to get the workout that she went for. We(she) joined in Florida, have enjoyed the facilities at every stop on the way to Texas and hope to for a long time to come; wherever we may roam!

The staff at the Potranco location are so friendly and welcoming. When you walk in you are greeted with a smile and a kind word. They are attentive to client needs and they keep the gym so clean. I changed to the Potranco location because of these reasons. Great job!!! A special shout out to Mr. Bobby!!!

I walked in and was met with negativity from one of the staff members right from the start. Not sure why other than maybe because of the why I was dressed today. I travel all over America and have three different Gyms memberships to maintain my Physical Therapy schedule. This PF is the reason why I am so glad they have locations all over because I will NOT be returning to this one. I do realize there is always going to be that one staffer, but I also believe that a staff member should NEVER Judge someone by appearance because they don’t know who is behind the disguise. LA Fitness is across the street. Guess where I am heading now?!

I've been to a lot of Planet Fitness locations. This one is the most basic I've ever been to. No red light therapy, no 30 minute circuit area, less machines and benches, crowded space with only 1 separated space

The staff is nice, helpful and encouraging. Atmosphere is out west going. The parking lot is hard at times to get back out of, but it does have a vitamin shop in it too. So, you can walk from the gym to the shop for your vitamin needs. It kind of evens out that way.
