Best Gym near San-marcos, Texas

I am so glad this location finally opened. It took them awhile to finally open and finally get their certificate of occupancy. I had been going to the south Austin location. This one is much closer to my house. As I walked in I was greeted by the staff. One of the guys. was studying Exercise science was a wealth of knowledge as we spoke about diet and my exercise routine. I went up to the 2nd floor to use the exercise bike to get my cardio in. It took a little getting used to their layout of machines and free weights. Even working out when I did, I was able to get in, work out and get out without having to fight folks for machines like many do at some of the other big name gyms. The staff here is amazing and very friendly. I am thankful to have a Crunch closer to my house and look forward to the Kyle location opening soon.

Nothing wrong with this specific Crunch Fitness. Employees are all nice people but Crunch policies need to change. I had a membership and changed it to a lower level membership a couple months later and was charged $32 for that change. Fair enough but I was charged another annual fee $51.44 on top of that. Pretty outrageous if you ask me.

Cons; *12 months contract. * 2 months penalty if cancel early plus enroll and annual pay *Biometric recognition eyes and face * certified letter to cancel/ cancel at location *late payment charge and penalty. Debt is sent to collection agency if not settled. Poor overall reviews and ratings. Most complaints are about over charged accounts and cancelation issues. *IDK why they require 2 forms of payment. * squat rack weights are bulky cheap *decline and incline bench hooks are unsafe. You can hit em in the way up and hurt yourself. Pros: Brand new facility and equipments Tony Hartl founder dba undefeated tribe LLC *Dumbells and benches are v-good *Staffs are great and Personal trainers are available PS: updated to 4 stars 10/31/24 Why not 5? Cheap Iso machines and benches. If you spend millions why not equip it with top brands. 12/2/24 DJ the mngr canceled my membership for using 8 lbs dumbell to warm up from the designated HIIT barricaded area. No one ever used those weights during and after HIIT. Paid em off for a year but haven't received my refund. Few of my friends are fed up and canceled membership too.

This location has employees with exceptional customer service skills! I tried to cancel my membership through a different location for weeks and nobody ever answered the phone or called me back. I called Sna Marcos this morning and I was able to speak to Emily at the front desk on the first time I called and get my account taken care of immediately by David before the end of the business day. 5 stars for great customer service!

I've been going since they opened at the end of July. Staff is always friendly & keep to themselves, always busy, making sure everything is clean and spray bottles full. I've gone at peak times and never had an issue parking, just had to walk some. 5 months going 4 times/week and I have no complaints. Thanks San Marcos Crunch! You guys are awesome!

THRC is hands down the best gym in San Marcos! The atmosphere is awesome, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I’ve tried other gyms, but none compare. I also love that it’s a locally owned gym, and my daughter has a great time at the kids’ club. Highly recommend!

THRC is easily the best Gym in the San Marcos and surrounding area! The staff and Trainers are incredibly friendly, and the gym has just about everything you could ask for and then some. They have a full size indoor basketball court, all the free weights and machines you need and my favorite - their outdoor turf field (25 Yards from my guesstimate), they have various size tires to flip, battle ropes, sleds and a full outdoor 10 bay squat and bench area. On top of this, they're Trainers are beyond phenomenal - They helped me loose over 120lbs and I would be in a very dire health situation if it wasn't for THRC's Trainer program. They work with you every step of the way to achieve your goals and give you what you want and need! If you're in need of a new Gym (Not Golds or one of these other chains that treat you like a number) or in need of a some help to kick start your fitness journey, look no further than here! Thank you THRC!

I've been going to the gym for 2 years now. I have a special affinity for it now, as I've undergone a lot of personal growth, both physically and mentally, while on my fitness journey. It's a local gym, definitely not commercial, and you get that feeling as soon as you walk in. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. The patrons are vast and varied, with a ton of characters there that'll be able to make your day somehow, whether it be joking around in between sets, or giving you the encouragement you need when you're struggling on a lift. If you're ever looking for a place to work out, come here

Be cautious of the cancellation policy. The cancellation policy is unclear. From a few previous reviews regarding the cancellation policy, I see that it is a continuous issue. I had initially called in to cancel my membership after the year contract was up. I had been receiving texts messages about my membership coming up to the year and that I would have to renew. I understand that there is a cancellation policy in place, so when I reached out to THRC downtown to let them know I wouldn’t be renewing my policy, I assumed that would be the end of that. I was not told of an email method, and because of what I understood about the cancellation policy is that you would be charged for the month you cancelled, which I was okay with. My membership was for July, I reached out in August. I understand being charged for August. I had noticed an additional charge on my bank statements for November, to which I had called in again immediately and then was told about the email to cancel. I then had emailed to explain my situation. The cancellation was put in place immediately, which I appreciate. I’m going to assume that this is (hopefully) not going to charge me for December, since the charge for November went out the day I called? I received the cancellation notice through email, and I see on the cancellation policy it does not mention an email method. It does, however, mention to cancel in person or via letter. When I called in, I was not instructed anything of the such so I thought I was done. It’s a shame that this seems to be an ongoing process, and it is showing that the cancellation process is hard to get to. Even online or through the THRC app there is no notice of how to cancel the membership through the membership portal. I am out 3 months worth (this does not include August) of money, which the membership for this place is a bit pricey compared to other gyms. You can call in to get this information (as I did the second time) but it seems that this information is does not get mentioned every time. It looks like management is giving out the email on the reviews for people to reach out, so there’s a start. I just suggest making this clear in the cancellation policy with the email needing to address to cancel. If not on the website, at least on the app through the membership portal instead of the generic customer service email and number. The app does include the address and phone number to the location, but only from my experience can I say that it is useless information for cancellation. I have nothing negative to say about the facility itself. The equipment was nice and clean. Other members are respectful and keep their noises to themselves.

This gym was amazing. I’m an out of state visitor and was researching for a good gym and pics on here DID NOT DO JUSTICE. So I’m here to post some updated pics and insure anyone looking for a SOLID gym this is the place. I went to anytime fitness, golds gym and NEITHER of them came close to this gym. If your a bodybuilder or serious lifter or even just an average gym goer looking for a cool vibe and solid line up of equipment this is the place! The guy at the counter was super friendly and had great customer service. So whoever the guy is with the mustache props to you my man! Made a bomb shake too. I forgot to take pics of the cardio room and the other equipment so these pics don’t even do justice or show half the gym.

I’ve been coming to this gym for 2 years now. There’s CONSTANTLY a change in management. There was a period of time when the manager stopped showing up and there was nothing to wipe off the machines, no soaps in the bathroom, pubes on the toilet seat that had been cemented from pee stains. Most recently there’s been a new manager that creepily follows women around during their workout. Finally it seemed like they had hired someone that showed up and stayed in the office for the entirety of anytime business hours, but I was wrong. This gym has gone downhill significantly since Joey left. Please spend your money elsewhere. I used to love how it was never busy during peak hours and that’s really the only thing that kept me coming all these years but with the low level of sanitation and lack of management during “hours”, it’s really turned my head.

This place has hands down, the most gym equipment per area, I was impressed! 4 power racks and a smith machine while still having enough room for a rack of dumbells, open exercise floor, treadmills/ellipticals and 3 private bathrooms with showers. Even took a bunch of photos to show my friends and family. Open 24/7/365 and their staff is friendly and gave me a no pressure tour and let me shop around before I decided on this one. Been here over a year now and I love it!

This gym will hold your bank account hostage, refuse to cancel your member ship and continue to charge you months and months after you canceled your membership. avoid this gym if you care at all for customer service, your bank account or decent expectations

DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! Scam artists of the highest order. They will lie and tell you they've cancelled their membership, then charge you again outside of that 30 day period after your membership is cancelled, then ignore your calls during business hours. There's no way to cancel except through the local club, so you'll be at the mercy of these scammers. Literally go anywhere else.

You can not cancel your membership! There is zero management on staff to do so. I have walked in, called many times, and left multiple messages with corporate and no response.

For ~$300 total, you can get a yearlong membership here AND the activity center. Talk about WINNING. That's 2 memberships for less than $30 a month. Use SMAC when needing free weights. Then, use activity center when needing assisted weights or when wanting activity outside of weightroom. (Pool, bball, racketball, aerobics, etc) The times I've gone to SMAC it's never too crowded or loud. Never any problems here. Easy to get-in get-out quickly. Pricing tiers make sense; discount for women. This place has all the right vibes.

We were visiting San Marcos for a week and did not want to pay sign up or membership fees. This is the perfect place for travelers or anyone who just wants to go workout and not be bothered by anyone! Had everything we needed! Old school equipment and it reminded me of working out in my high school gym. Everyone super friendly and helpful if you need assistance. Definitely plan on returning if we are back in town.

Very old school and very friendly people. I'll make this place my new gym. If you're looking for a pretty and fluffy gym, this is not your gym. It's strictly for the ones that are serious. Great equipment and clean.

If you're looking for a gym, this is the place. No nonsense. Good people and a lot of motivation in this place. If you want perfume and fashion and conversations about your Tesla, this is not the place for you. But if you want a great workout around people who are there to do the same, it really doesn't get any better.

Great old school gym. Everyone is very friendly. Need a good workout this is the place.

I can’t say enough good things about THRC Downtown! I recently moved out of San Marcos, and one of the things I’ll miss most is this amazing gym and the incredible environment it offers. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, and the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and supported. A special shoutout to Emilio, who signed me up at the beginning of last year and made a huge impact on my fitness journey. His enthusiasm and encouragement were exactly what I needed to establish a consistent routine, and he always had such a positive energy. I had a personal training session with Nat O. and she was an incredible motivator! Jacob also deserves a mention for always being friendly whenever I came in. Lastly, thanks to Natalie V. who made the end of my membership seamless as well. This gym is more than just a place to work out—it’s a community, and it has genuinely changed my life for the better. If you’re looking for a gym that feels like home with kind, supportive people, THRC Downtown is the place to be! I’ll miss it so much!

THRC Downtown is more than just your average gym, its a true community of inspired people of all backgrounds coming together with like minded goals! The staff is unmatched. Always greeted by name or a friendly welcome and they have the most fun, inclusive events. Forget your headphones? no worries the jams are jamming here! The gym is smaller than average but makes up with new equipment and big heart.

This gym is amazing, all the staff are nice and the Employees who work in the kids club are always so great with my kids! Brittany, Mia, Hannah, Shry, Kaitlyn, Macy, Alisa , and many more have all been so kind and made me feel comfortable leaving my sweet babies! I love all the classes and feel the teachers in the classes are so great, patient, and uplifting! Front staff is always so friendly and I’m just so happy I found a place that checks all the boxes! 🤍

Signed up for a week pass due to being in town for a PD related class. The equipment and staff are beyond amazing. They truly make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Beyond impressed with your gym and staff, keep pushing

THRC is actually the first non commercial gym ice joined and have loved it! The staff and trainers are always so warm and welcoming, Amber has a huge smile every morning when you walk in! The gym is always clean too which is great, I’ve been to plenty of facilities that seem like they’ve never seen a mop. If you are looking for a new gym in San Marcos I’d highly recommend giving them a shot!

I love this gym! Best gym in San Marcos. It’s all inclusive and so positive. The best coaching staff! They cater to your specific goals and needs and help you achieve them. Since joining the gym I’ve lost 50lbs and can’t praise them enough. I look forward to seeing the coaches and my community everyday. Come give it a try!!

Loving this gym! Moved from SD to SMTX this month and love the early mornings with some of the nicest people! The owner, Amanda, is so welcoming and does her best to help you figure it all out! All the trainers have also been so supportive!

Soon after joining this gym I felt right at home. Amanda and the coaches are super welcoming and personable! The combination of a great gym culture, knowledgeable coaches, and having friendly & supportive members makes Southwest Training a solid 5 Star Gym!

I absolutely love this gym. The structure of the workouts are exactly what I was looking for emphasizing strength, functional fitness, and endurance. I appreciate the extra classes offered like yoga and mobility. The coaching staff really meets you where you're at and strives to help you hit your individual goals.

Just started this month and I love going. Everyone is so welcoming and I can’t wait to go to each class. There’s modifications if a movement is too difficult and mobility to get your body ready to work. 10/10 would recommend 😛

Taylor has been my trainer for 2 months and I will continue using him. My results are amazing! Not only is he a great trainer but str8 training gym has a very super welcoming staff. I love walking in not be discouraged by the equipment and the perfect staff. The staff is perfect but they want you to be at your best too. Str8 training is a great way I start my day! I can not express how much I love this gym!

Amazing gym, amazing trainer, amazing owner! Str8 Training has some of the best trainers I've been able to have, guiding me through my journey (Leanne, Muhammad, John) of weight loss. This locally owned business makes you feel apart of a family verses a number, they're motivating, knowledgeable, and personable. Check them out for an amazing experience! Checkout Healthy Smokers as well, the food is delicious. -Matt

STOP LOOKING AND COME TO ST8 TRAINING! I have been with this amazing gym for almost 5 months now and progress isn't the only thing I have gained. I have made great friends and created a strong mind set for myself. I personally train with Hunter Tomlin and his workouts never disappoint. He always changes up our workouts to make them challenging, fun, and effective! I also participate in the weekly fit camp at 5:30pm which is instructed by John. He is great at making sure you are doing everything properly and efficiently. When I joined the Str8 team I was only participating in the fit camps but after consistently going for the first month I was hungry for more. This gym motivates you to be better. Do better. And most importantly feel better about yourself. If you are in search of a gym I highly recommend this one. You will be very pleased.

This is the first gym where I feel comfortable going to workout. The trainers are awesome and super friendly and genuinely care about your health and fitness and making you a better person not only physically but mentally. The team training program is great and really challenges you to push yourself to your ability. I have trained with Leanne and John and both of them are motivating/marvelous. I love how you can order meals or buy extras at the gym which is Convenient.love this gym

So after driving by this place on my way home for a few months I finally decided to give them a call and sign up for some personal training... I'm about 7 weeks into my new workout regimen with Mr. Jonathan Hennessey and it's been AWESOME!!! He's always willing to work with my super busy schedule and what I appreciate the most is his professionalism and his willingness to go the extra mile to make sure I'm on track with my goals. But all in all everyone at STR8 Training are super awesome and professional, I feel that the entire team makes sure that it's always a super welcoming workout environment :D!!!

Focus Fit has been my second home for the last 3 years. I’ve tried other gyms and it’s just not the same! I’ll be coming here for as long as we’re open 💯 I love it

I'm about to finish my first month working out at Focus Fit, it has been an awesome experience so far! All of the trainers are very knowledgeable and supportive. After just one month I feel stronger, more flexible, more confident and some of my chronic pain has gone away! I would recommend any of my massage clients and friends go here to get the most out of their workouts in a supportive and safe space!

Focus Fit is the best gym I’ve ever been to. Having been to my fair share, I’ve never experienced the quality of coaches in addition to such an awesome community as I have with Nick, Keith, and their amazing team! I love how much they challenge, support and encourage their clients. It feels like a family more than it does just going to the gym.

This is the number one place I would recommend if you're nervous about joining a gym or new workout group. I ran cross country in college, but found it difficult to keep up with the necessary training (other than running) without a team's support and I was scared to death to join a group workout (including Focus Fit). I'm a strong believer that you can't improve without surrounding yourself with the right team. Focus Fit is the right team regardless of what your fitness level or goals may be. The trainers are all exceptional people. Each trainer has a unique way to explain a workout, so you're always learning something new.

Focus Fit is Amazing. Nick, Keith and crew know what they are doing when it comes to working out safely and efficiently. The accountability and check-in's from Nick really keep me motivated. I've never been happier with a gym than I am with FF. Love being part of the Focus Fit/Easy Tiger Family
