Best Gyms with Free Weights near New-braunfels, Texas

Decent equipment selection. Clean facility. Staff continue to restrict more and more equipment from member use. Reserving it only for their “golds fit” groups. It’s my opinion, that a member should have access to all equipment, since the member is paying $40 a month to use the facility. Restricting equipment prevents members from growing in fitness. This is the worst part about this facility in my opinion. And causes me frustration during every visit.

So sad to see how the employees don’t care about their members. It’s so hard to find a gym that has a good childcare facility and to find one that does and to come to realize that they do not watch over the kids is an absolute bummer. I witness an employee just lay back on the chair while seeing some kids fight over in the floor and not even bother to see if the kids were okay and immediately got mad at the kids. I hate watching stuff like this because at the end of the day if you are a parent you want to make sure your kids are okay. To the child care employees (Arisa or whatever her/their name is) please try to care a little bit more about your job.

There is the iron you need here! Thanks guys. This is the place where you can relax and unwind. We live in a time where everything has long been rotten in lies and flattery. In this room you will find everything to work with your physical and mental mood. I like this network for their simplicity and classics. Nothing superfluous, just old school and motivation to achieve results. I found here what I was missing. I just really want to be let in with my subscription to Black. Thank you.

I was thoroughly disappointed with my brief experience going to this gym. I went several years ago when it opened and it was better. I decided to try it out for a secondary gym. Just going a couple days a week. I signed up for the month to month because it was $1 to sign up which made way more sense than they’re super expensive day pass, and then all of their equipment is really old and worn down. Missing screws and loose or broken, I was not impressed with the equipment at all with as much money as they make from what they charge people you would think that they would update their equipment.. I decided to cancel my membership on October 2 or 3rd and I had to go in person and fill out a form to cancel it. I had just been charged $43 for the month-to-month membership that I signed up for and then they told me I was still going to be charged again on Oct 25th for another month because I didn’t give 30 days notice. So then I was expecting another $43 charge and I got an email saying that it was going to be $75 so I went into the Gym again to inquire why I have this $75 bill. They informed me that there is a yearly fee of $53 plus the $43 that they are still gonna charge me after I canceled and if I didn’t pay it, they were going to send it to collections! So I had just to pay $97 to cancel my gym membership. This was very deceiving of Golds Gym and I do not recommend getting a gym membership with Golds Gym. I will never go back to Golds Gym

I work in other states due to my job, but my home is in this area so I always come back to this gym. First time I’ve ever encountered a collection agency coming after me for unpaid gym membership when I had cancelled back in april/may IN PERSON due to relocating again. When I called and asked to speak to the manager, the associate working stated GM Tim was unable to come to the phone but said he would call me back within 24 hours. A month later and nothing. My wife who still lives in the area went to the gym and Tim refused to speak to her as well about this situation. I know he’s new because the last GM that was there was friendly and attentive and he would’ve never done this sort of thing. Very unprofessional. To say the least I will never come back to this golds gym. I’m having my wife cancel her membership as well and go to a place that is actually managed by a REAL manager.

Stopped in today for a day pass and left feeling appreciated and welcomed! Staff was welcoming. Equipment was functional. Gym goers were friendly. And to top it off, I had a great workout! If you’re having doubts, don’t. This is the gym to be at!

I been going to this gym since early 2000’s and after all these years it’s still the best gym in NB! A great family owned local business with a lot of space and a good variety of equipment and free weights. Whether you’re just starting out or serious and training for an upcoming meet you will find others here to relate too. The environment is always positive with a small town feel. You can’t get this kind of atmosphere at a corporate gym so come out and join the American Fitness family.

Very good experience. Came in for a day pass and left feeling really good about the gym as a whole. Staff were helpful and enthusiastic, loved the variety of machines, and the space was very clean and well maintained. The music was outdated and distracting, meaning I had to go and get my headphones but overall it wasn't a big deal. Would recommend going here.

Great gym and atmosphere. The staff is great and you can tell there is a sense of community/identity within the gym. There is plenty of equipment of all types and I’ve never had to wait for something. We switched from Golds for this reason. Another great thing is their guest policy. It’s great for when friends are in town. They can grab a workout and it doesn’t cost 1/2 of a full month’s price like every other gym.

I travel full time and got a two week pass here. Fantastic gym. Clean, larger than the photos show and has everything. Highly recommend if you’re local or just traveling through.

Hixon Fitness has truly transformed my approach to health and wellness! From the moment I stepped into the gym, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The variety of equipment is impressive, catering to all fitness levels, and the cleanliness of the facility is top-notch. What sets Hixon Fitness apart, though, is the incredible staff. They are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping you achieve your fitness goals. The personal trainers are supportive, providing tailored workout plans and motivation every step of the way. The group personal training classes are energetic and fun, making workouts feel less like a chore and more like a community event. I've seen significant progress in my strength and endurance since joining, and I appreciate the emphasis on proper form and injury prevention. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Hixon Fitness is the perfect place to elevate your fitness journey. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and effective fitness environment. Five stars all the way!

This has been by far the best gym I have ever been to! The staff are super kind and welcoming. They are very supportive and always willing to lend a hand. Also, I love the variety of equipment and free-weights they have to give you an overall great workout. I am so thankful to have been apart of this gym for the time we were here. I 100% recommend this gym for anyone who is looking for their forever gym home!

This is the best gym I’ve been too!! My mom and I train with Abby and she’s the BEST. We may not always be happy to see her but that’s because she pushes us to our full potential when we sometimes don’t want to lol. This gym is the most welcoming gym I’ve been too which makes it easier to go to!

This is an absolutely outstanding gym in every way. There are all age groups and people at different levels of fitness here. I am usually anxious when trying a new gym, but everyone from Jake the owner to all the trainers make you feel welcome. The gym is spotless and the equipment is up to date and never out of order. When my son comes to visit from NYC, where he belongs to some big fancy gym, he always goes here “because, even though it’s smaller, it has everything you would find in a larger gym and the atmosphere is a lot calmer and more welcoming.” Lacey is my trainer and I can’t say enough about how motivational, encouraging and supportive she has been. I am older and have never liked formal exercising or gyms and now I look forward to my training even when it gets more challenging. With my training I was given a body scan, meal plan, exercise plan everything I need to be informed and successful. As a senior I am never intimidated by what I can’t do because Lacey always encourages me where I am and that even the smaller accomplishments are steps in the right direction! So glad I found Hicksons Gym!

Im so happy I finally found a great gym! I started in January 2024 with a goal of losing a few extra pounds. I never worked out or ate healthy a day in my life! 11 months later I'm in the best shape of my life 😊 Not only did I get so much amazing information on nutrition and the correct way to workout from my trainer/owner Jake Hixon but most important, I feel comfortable working out now because there’s no judgment here, just good people that are ready to help if needed! This is my forever gym, whats stopping you from making it yours as well? 😊
