Best Gyms with Resistance Machines near San-antonio, Texas

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.

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.

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.

Management is unfriendly, rude. Been trying to cancel my membership for a month now after 6 years with this specific location and cant ever find anyone in the office- even when they say staffed hours. This location has gone down hill and it’s incrediblely frustrating after a long time loyal member. Never received my free months from friends signing up under me. My car was hit in their parking lot at 6am and they were zero help. Second time this has happened and they deny being able to see footage which I know is untrue based off the last time it happened in the same spot. Over this entire company. Even emailed about cancellation and cant even get a response. Call and cant leave a message either. Now have to open a dispute with USAA for this companies failures to properly operate a business. Stay away from ANY of the ANYTIME FITNESS locations but especially this one. ☝🏼

The gym has gone down hill steadily. Ashley was the last good manager they had and that was about 2-3 years ago. The machines are fine but the free weight area is usually packed. If there’s more than 4-5 people in that area you are navigating around each other. There are 3 big TVs that used to play sports and had a remote nearby to change channels. Being a 24 hour gym it’s a great benefit to be able to change the TV to find a better game or new channel. Now the TVs are off, for the most part, and the one that works is playing Chive videos over and over. The cardio machines TVs are either not working or turn on and don’t have a signal. There’s only a handful of them that actually work. The one restroom is almost always dirty and dingy. There’s never soap in the dispenser and never hand towels available to dry your hands. They compensated by giving us a commercially purchased hand sanitizer. The hand sanitizer stations have been empty for months. It’s been about 3 months and they did a much needed “deep cleaning” but that was after 2-3 years (since Ashley left). I have seen the newest manager trying to keep up with the maintenance but I’m not sure if it’s the owner hamstringing upkeep by nickel & dime’n or just a lack of oversight. I’m always disappointed going here as it’s the closest gym to me. I will add that I’ve finally seen more spray bottles for sanitizers and a random roll of paper laying around the gym. And sometimes there’s sanitizing wipes available.

Compared to my rinky-dink job's gym, this place costs 3.8 times more. athere are no lockers. I'd like to relax and not stay vigilant. Also, the phone number doesn't work, and the website doesn't work. It took me a month to finally connect with this place. Still, when a holiday comes, there is no way to know their hours.

The gym itself has any utility/machine you could think to use. Although i thought it was small at first, there is plenty of room to hold 50+ people. Staff is great, if you need help The manager Zinah will get you more than right.

The establishment is quite unprofessional and lacks stability, they don’t respond to emails nor calls and do not show drive in helping out those who are customers in this gym. Had to reach out to corporate for somewhat help. If y’all could call me or email me back that would be great.👍🏼

I've been coming to this gym since it opened and it has always been VERY clean. The people that come here are all different ages and in their own health journeys. Equipment is always put away nicely and front desk staff is always willing to help. The owner Robert, was super attentitive with any concerns and solves problems effectively. Thank you for bringing such a great gym to upper Culebra area!

My husband and I have been AF members for three years and we have attended this specific location since April. This location is well equipped, well staffed, and always clean. I would even note the clientele are respectful of other members and the gym itself. As for Scarlett’s comments, I have never seen anything other than polite, friendly, welcoming behavior from any of the staff. Never anything creepy. Creepy is something I would notice even if it was happening to someone else. It is really unfortunate if someone didn’t get their way and then used this platform to try and hurt someone’s livelihood.

The owner is kinda creepy and bothers my roommate and I (we’re both girls under 25) anytime we come in whether it be before, during or after our workout so we try to avoid him at all cost. Besides creep owner, the gym is pretty clean and I like that they have feminine supplies (pads, tampons, hair ties) in the women’s restroom. Could have better variation of kettlebell weights and weighted balls. There’s also very little wall space for wall balls, wall sits, or handstand pushups against a wall. Francisco, Stephanie and Angela are the few employees I’ve met and they’re so kind and helpful. Pretty expensive to go here and the only reason I went with it was because of how close it was to my house. Served me while it did but after experience with the owner, I will definitely be taking my business elsewhere. Update - as the owner below mentioned, he didn’t allow me to bring in my mobility scooter that I have for my disability and wanted me to leave it outside and didn’t let my guests in although they paid the guest fee and signed the waiver. Almost forgot about those, thanks for the reminder. Only more reason to give my money to any other gym.

I've been a member of this gym since Dec 2023 and absolutely love it! I can come in any time (day or night) and get my workout in. Robert (the owner) is awesome and genuinely cares about all his members. He makes everyone feel welcome and goes out of his way to get to know you. The gym is in excellent condition, always pristine, and all the equipment is fully functional. The best part of this gym is that the staff and trainers are always available to provide help and encouragement.

My experience in Anytime Fitness so far it’s been incredible is a good place to set your personal goals my couch and personal training classes has also helped me achieve my personal milestones, my journey has been set with different goals for me all taking me to a better place and feeling strong and healthy with myself and every step I take I’m getting closer to it I’m grateful for what achieved so far!

I love working out at Texan Tough Athletic Club! You can start at any level, and the knowledgeable coaches will tailor the workout to your needs. They have a very welcoming community too. It is the best gym in San Antonio!

Texan Tough Athletic Club is an outstanding CrossFit gym, and I’m proud to be a member. The facility is top-notch, with well-maintained equipment, and the workouts are challenging and effective. The coaching is exceptional, providing the guidance and support you need to push your limits. And all the members are really friendly and supportive. If you’re looking to get stronger and fitter, TTAC is the place to make it happen.

Being a part of TTAC has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health and wellness! The Coaches are incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, helping me develop a fitness routine that fits my goals. I've noticed so many positive changes—not only am I stronger and more toned, but I also have more energy and feel healthier overall. If you're looking for a place that motivates and challenges you, I highly recommend TTAC!

Great sense of community, inspiration and trust with this place! As a coach at TTAC I have been honored to watch this gym grow, thrive and make adjustment that fit for the needs of each memeber as an individual. At TTAC you don't just get a killer workout. You LEARN, grow and build confidence here! Highly recommend.

I really enjoy going to this gym. The atmosphere is fantastic the workouts are challenging, and the members are encouraging.

I have sent a cancellation email, tried to call but no one ever answers and no voicemail set up…. But of course they are still charging my card. Don’t sign up unless it’s for life. Equipment works but is old and wore down and definitely not worth the price of membership especially when you can get 24 hours in other places in my opinion. Hopefully the owner reads this so we can address and come to a resolution.

If you stop going to this gym they attack your credit. Don’t do business with these folks as there are many other gyms that don’t use dirty tactics like this to squeeze more money out of you after you leave. It’s more expensive than larger gyms $50-$60 There’s never anybody at the front desk, and customer service sucks. They use a very aggressive contract and their system will attempt to charge your card daily if you miss a payment. Cars get robbed in the parking lot Simply don’t do it, there are better options everywhere you look.

LOVE THIS PLACE. Unlike Golds or Tru, having to wait for a machine just finish your workout is just annoying. None of that here. I can get in and out no issues and staff is super friendly. Only suggestion I would make is adding a T-Bar to the equipment selection but everything else is great!

went here for the first time today & loved it! the owner greeted us immediately and was super friendly and accommodating to get us a guest pass. they definitely had a lot of machines i've never seen at commercial gyms before that i can't wait to try out the next time i come. it was also a super chill atmosphere with everything you need to get a good workout in without having to deal with a crowd!! highly recommend and will def be getting a membership

Location is convenient to work and home. Staff is friendly and helpful. Gym and equipment are clean. It's also very peaceful. I look forward to working out here, even at peak times.

Great facility for open space regarding workouts, needing more equipment but slowly getting there, & the bi-weekly rate at this location is $$; it's nice to change the scene for workouts & I would recommend trying it out for the experience!

I wanted to love this gym. But after they texted me saying I could no longer attend their location because they are not my "home gym", have been left with a huge distaste in my mouth. To also be $70/month is OUTRAGEOUS. When I only pay $40 and have for 5 years. But not this location. They said they would now lock me out for not making them my "home gym" as I frequent them (as a nurse) on my way home from shift sometimes because it's on the way home. I go to all different locations across San Antonio and have never had this happen. A little bit ridiculous. Golds gym is less and offers WAY more than this location so I don't understand the pricing by any means. Just sound like greed. "you wont transfer to us so we are gonna lock you out" even though you are supposed to be able to visit any location per corporate, which I did call and confirm. So they claim to be "able to visit any location" but you in fact, can not. I smell a lawsuit for discrimination and false advertisement coming.

I recently joined Anytime Fitness, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. This gym deserves a full five stars for several reasons. First and foremost, the staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with a smile. Their welcoming nature makes every visit enjoyable. The facility itself is immaculate; it's consistently clean, and the restrooms and showers are cozy and meticulously maintained. Despite being newly built, the gym is constantly upgrading its equipment, making it feel like there's something new to try every week. The layout of the gym is fantastic, with both upstairs and downstairs workout areas that cater to a variety of fitness needs. They have state-of-the-art technology, including body scan tools that provide valuable insights into your health and fitness progress. Coaching is always available, whether you prefer group training sessions or one-on-one guidance. One of the standout features is their massage services, which are a perfect way to unwind after a tough workout. The gym also provides a secure area for personal belongings, giving me peace of mind while I exercise. The security measures in place make the facility feel safe at any time of day or night. Another huge plus is their app, which is incredibly user-friendly. It shows how busy the gym is at any given time and provides detailed instructions on how to use each piece of equipment. The app has been a game-changer for planning my workouts and making the most of my time at the gym. The community at Anytime Fitness is fantastic. The members are dedicated to their fitness goals, creating an inspiring and motivating environment. It feels far superior to other gyms I've tried, like Planet Fitness. A special shoutout to John Ybarra and his wife, who were instrumental in helping me get started. I've been a member for just over a month, and alongside my girlfriend, I've already lost over 10 pounds. This gym is not just a place to work out; it's a healthy and supportive community. If you're looking for a top-notch gym experience, Anytime Fitness is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Just visited the facility and it is very nice! Love all the brand new equipment! Kim- the owner is very nice and is welcoming all suggestions from her members! I do wish they had a month to month contract vs the 12 month commitment, but I will just use that as motivation to keep going for the next 12 months!

I really enjoy going to anytime fitness, as everyone there is friendly and helpful with any questions you may have about the gym. I would highly recommend this gym.

We have been members at this location since it opened. I might miss my girls that opened the location but I wanted to do a shout out to Zinah and Ashley. They have been extremely helpful. Thank you for the continued positivity on my journey to meeting my goals and helping me with all technical issues that I had with the app. You guys keep the environment positive! No to mention you keep everything sparkling clean. 🫧🧼🧹

The gym was fine. Easy access 24/7 and no problem with that service itself. However, it's incredible how customer service can make or break a relationship. I went in to cancel my membership after being a member for 6 months because I was simply not using it. The manager who assisted me with this was rude and seemed really bothered that I cancelled. I think her name is Denise.

Everyone is so friendly and kind! I love the different classes offered and the time options available. Denise has always been more than helpful with anything I need! Danna is so kind and makes me feel comfortable if any questions pop up. I highly recommend trying it out!

I love coming to this location. Everyone’s so nice and friendly. They also keep the facility clean which is a must. Denise is very friendly and always willing to help when needed.

I am livid, this is the worst studio EVER!!! I have been apart of golds gym, anytime, orange theory, you name it. This has by far been the biggest headache!!! I saw someone say that getting out of this membership is harder than getting out of the mafia, and it’s 100% true. At some point we’ll all have to cancel. Keep that in mind when signing up. They don’t care about you, they care about making money regardless of what anyone says, or whether these policies are based on the franchise or single owner. They knew how much of a scam it was when they invested, so they should know they’ll always have customers that will feel cheated. Last year I excitedly signed up and had a great time, then found out just a few months after that I was pregnant. I had a very high risk pregnancy & was put on best rest until delivery. The studio, of course like everyone else, refused to make exceptions to be able to cancel over the phone or online, even with my diagnosis and valid doctor’s notes. After my mom also had the worst time with cancelling, she finally was able to terminate her account as well so we could both be done with this place. I just delivered my daughter & never gave this a thought again because I was on my mom’s plan that was cancelled, and it turns out they started charging one of my family members accounts & has been charging $9 since last year! (If you are on a family plan, they WILL trap you into paying all payments for anyone else). I finally gave up & called & said I would just go in since I’m not pregnant anymore. The lady on the phone said that they couldn’t cancel, only the manager could but she would be off for the next 3 days & to come in Monday. I had to haul my whole family in the car & head to the studio. I called at least 10 times on the way (this is DURING their fully staffed hours) and got no answer, and finally arriving (DURING the time the lady said the manager would be there) just for no one to answer the door. It’s like this studio is playing hide & seek just to cancel! For it to take weeks just to cancel is a joke. Shame on this place, seriously.

I joined Come and Take It CrossFit exactly a year ago, and it’s been an incredible journey! From the moment I stepped in, the coaches and the community made me feel so welcome and motivated. The coaches are phenomenal—they help correct posture and teach new movements, which has been invaluable for my progress. Even as a beginner, I found this to be a great place to start my fitness journey. It’s not just about working out; it’s about being part of a positive, uplifting environment. If you’re looking for a supportive and fun CrossFit gym, Come and Take It CrossFit is the place to be. Highly recommend it!

Absolute Amazing Gym!?!!!! I left the big box gyms and decided to join something more tailored to my needs. I am 1000 percent new to CrossFit and this gym has welcomed me with open arms and i immediately feel like I’ve been apart of this CrossFit family for years!? The workouts push me past my, would be normal ‘quitting’ limit and I enjoy that push. I needed that. The classes are vey welcoming and the gym has plenty of choice times to go and workout. Best move I’ve ever made. Come check it out! You will not regret it!!

I started at Come and Take It almost a year ago and it completely changed my life! The community and the coaches are the reason I keep coming back. Seeing my progress over this year has been such an inspiration to myself to come back every single day. I’m so grateful that I started coming here. You can tell Joel and Bianca really care about their members and want every one to be better than the day before.

I recently started CrossFit, and as a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous. But the team at Come and Take It CrossFit have made it incredibly fun and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the staff was super friendly. The coaches are amazing—they patiently guide you through each workout, ensuring you understand the movements and do them correctly. Even as a newbie, I never felt out of place. The environment is both clean and fun, making every session something I look forward to. I’m excited to keep going and see how much I can improve with their support. If you're thinking about starting CrossFit, Come and Take It is absolutely the place to start! 💪😁

This is a fun, intense , and experienced gym. The workouts challenge you in the hour span they have you. All the coaches are experienced and motivate you to give and be your best. I love that the coaches workout either with you or before you. Allows for connectedness and trust from us as participants. They are also super family oriented with an area and toys to keep the kiddos occupied! It’s been fun improving my health with them day in and day out!

Just wanted to say that I’ve been a member at planet fitness for sometime now and I have been enjoying the good experiences that they provide there. The staff members are generally very attentive and one person really sticks out as a phenomenal leader, and that is Mr. Chris. He helped me quickly set up my membership and did a great job of making me feel as a welcomed and valued member. I expect to continue my membership for the foreseeable future and I will do my best to refer other folks over so that they can get the same great service that I’ve been enjoying! Thanks! John H.

I've worked out here consistently for about half a year and I love it. The staff are probably the best part, all are very kind, accommodating and cheer you on in your fitness journey. The equipment is well maintained and the other gym goers for the most part have good etiquette. You also can't beat the price.

Chris (general manager) is an amazing person. Each time I walk in into gym I’m always treated with respect welcomed. If you have any questions or concerns he’s guy to go to.

Great! Wish they had personal trainers. My daughter wanted to sign up for one to get on. Good fitness plan. Other than that it’s a good gym.

The facility recently underwent a significant equipment change and I wish I could say it was for the better in my opinion. Two of my favorite features that this gym had ( fitness and core circuits) were taken away. The fitness circuit has been moved to the floor where anyone can jump on. What’s wrong with that you might ask? Anyone can jump on this equipment and camp out preventing someone from completing the circuit in a timely manner. At least the other way offered some pressure on people to move on. The core section had 6 pieces of equipment and was also a circuit. Now there are only 4 pieces and spread out. More importantly was the attitude of the employees and the manager who vibed a “couldn’t care less” attitude when this was brought to their attention. I’d like to say I’m the only one, but while there multiple people also expressed their displeasure with the “upgrade”. The remainder of equipment is still in place, however there’s a lot more dead space now then there was before. They also doubled down on free weights and cages. Don’t see many people using those during my workouts, but ok. Overall I’m disappointed, I enjoyed the way it was and found it a great place to get away and do you for a while. Now, it appears that you’re compelled to wait on others more now than before.
