I love this place for so many reasons 1. The assclownary I grew so used to at Globo Gyms is non existant here. I've never had to worry about weights not being racked, equipment not being put away or folks using the equipment for lounge space 2. I can literally train any time I want to and don't have to worry about avoiding the assclown rush either before or after work. I can get in, get my training done and get out any damn time I want 3. The programming is challenging, innovative and gets me out of my comfort zone It ain't for everyone but if you want to push your limits both physically and mentally and have the drive and discipline to do it in a usually mostly empty no frills unairconditioned gym...this is your place. Stronger, faster, harder to kill read more

Love it here. It's just a no frills, get it done, no judgement kind of environment. Knowledgeable coaches, easy to get to location, the essentials with supportive (but not invasive) people. Diverse program, no crazy useless movements, easy parking, what more can I say? Oh... also I'm female and in no way shape or form have i run into any creepy characters. Which for me is important lol. Do with it what you may. #goatomic read more

Atomic Outpost is a welcoming & flexible new facility north Austin! The owners & coaches make a point to come and have a conversation with every single person who walks in the door. You feel valued as a member & they're super knowledgeable in all different areas of fitness! This facility is great for someone wanting to follow a specific program (that they write) or someone who does their own program and just needs a BA place to do it in. Outpost has all the toys you need to be successful as well. They're one of the only gyms in Austin/or surrounding towns that have Concept2 bike ergs and a Big Ass fan...plus they keep the gym super clean. I always have an amazing experience at AO! read more

The guys at Atomic Athlete are the best at what they do. I've gone to Atomic for years, and their programming is methodical and well-implemented; it works for professional athletes, weekend warriors, or sedentary desk-job types. I commonly tell people that this is where trainers come to train. The Atomic Outpost fills a much needed niche in the Austin elite training game- open gym hours with access to their stellar programming, plus a few coached session a week if you need the motivation of a class. Combine this with a sense of community I've never seen in a gym, and you've really got the best of all possible worlds. Great facility, great coaches, and great community- what else do you need? read more

If you're looking to get strong and get in amazing shape at a gym during a time convenient for you this is your place. The open gym concept is awesome and I'm able to go in whenever I want and knock out the well thought out programming done by the coaches. The gym provides remote access to go almost any time during the day. They have videos online explaining every exercise in case you don't know them and they are likely around to answer questions in person too. If you want a coached training session, the group classes are available but at more limited times. These guys really care about helping you reach your goals and like I mentioned earlier the programming is great. It's going to suck but you will get stronger, and harder to kill. read more

Atomic is as solid of a gym as you can get. If you wanna watch yourself workout in the mirror and take selfies, this isn't the place for you. If you actually want to work out and be mentally and physically challenged, join us! Classes are kept small. Programming is a mixture of cardio and strength training. Coaches are there to watch you and correct you on form. If you can't make it to class, you can go during open gym and follow the same programming. There's even a video library that demonstrates the exercises. It's not just a gym, it's a community/family as well. They have a lot happy hours, women's gun safety classes, range day, and overall just rad people to hang around. read more

An oasis of proven methodology and a workmanlike environment in North Austin. As a longtime subscriber to Atomic Athlete's programming and a member of the community since the community was a gypsy encampment of free weights and optimistic realism in 1913 (probably more like 2007, but the the mileage adds years of growth), I was stoked to see the addition of Atomic Outpost in my neck of the working woods. Atomic has long been known for scientific, deliberate programming for functional fitness, and, as an emergency responder and tactical operator, their outlook, research, and resultant programming has served me better than I deserve through the years. At the age of (as I write this) 46, to be able to maintain functionality in my career is a boon to both my life expectancy and my co-workers. Having the Outpost available to me means schedule flexibility with access to programming designed by nerds way more interested in exercise physiology than I have time for, while also providing me access to an open gym environment anytime (anytime, wait wtf? yes, anytime, without wall mirrors or creeps or douchebags or aggressive front-desk salesmanship) to get work done, as well as the option to hit coached sessions when my schedule permits. If you can't stand the Insta-gym, or FB check-in, or smoothies made from sawdust and newspaper pulp fashion crowd, and are looking for proramming and an environment and community conducive to your longevity, health, and performance, without schedule restrictions, then I would highly recommend you investigate this option. read more

I'm so happy Atomic opened an outpost so close to my office! I love the flexibility of the open gym model, so I don't have to stress about getting to class with my crazy work schedule. I can go anytime while also getting the benefit of their programming (which is the best I've ever seen). I really appreciate being part of a community of motivated athletes, it has a vastly different feel from those globo gyms. The coaches (who are awesome -super knowledgeable, patient and kind) are available if you have questions and I try to get to their coached classes on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at 7pm whenever I can. The space is great and always neat and clean, too. I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

I had been wanting to start lifting for years, but I had been so intimidated to start.  When I got an invitation to try a class at Atomic, I was extremely nervous but went.  I hadn't lifted in over twenty years and I had never done a burpee, mind you, so I was at below ground zero level.  The class was so tough for me and there were MANY things I could not do, but never once did I feel discouraged or that I didn't belong.  This was why I came back and kept coming back. I mean, I was afraid I was going to be too sore to move or come back to class, and I was SO SORE I thought I was going to die after the first week, but it lifted and I worked through the soreness during the first month.    The coaches all met me on my level and helped me modify to keep the programming still tough for me but doable.  The programming is smart:  I have seen amazing results over the course of the last six months not only physically, but mentally as well.  I started at the end of October 2019 and by the end of December, I decided to try for my goal to become a spin instructor.  I did one month of intense training and then ended with four straight 8 plus hour days of intense working out.  There is no way I would have been able to not only do this training, but actually accomplish this goal had I not started this training at Atomic.  What I love is that this is a place where serious, grown ups want to work out.  Everyone is there to take care of business and there is no douchey, creepy vibes given out.  As a woman, this makes a difference.  When I started, I had real physical limitations as well as mental blocks.  The coaches have all been amazing at how they have continued to give me the right amount of encouragement/kicking my ass to make me push myself to the next level.  By no means did they give me a pass or feel sorry for me; but they also didn't push so hard to make me feel like I was never going to be good enough to do it.  I was continuing to still see myself the same way I had walked in, but was reminded a month ago that those thoughts were no longer valid and I was STRONG.  Basically those excuses just weren't going to fly anymore, ha!  This was a HUGE gift for me.  I would have never thought I would have been here two years ago with all of my health issues, and I know that I have put in the work; but these guys, their non-douchey space, and their encouragement have ALL been HUGE factors in helping me overcome many physical and mental obstacles and for helping me become a spin instructor.  I cannot stress how smart this programming is:  they come up with workouts so that we can get in and get out no frills and no added fillers, but that packs the most punch.  As a full time, executive mom/spin instructor  with twin 7year olds - this is probably the best part of this.  I come three times a week, and it is the time that I have come to love because it is my time for just ME where I can make myself stronger and healthier.  There are still so many things I cannot do, but I show up and continue to push myself.  Every class is as difficult but doable as the first one I walked into.  Even though the gyms have been shut down due to Covid-19, they have lent out gym equipment and have continued to push us with live workouts and gentle reminders to just keep doing something. They have created four different workouts so that they can accommodate everyone with what equipment they might actually have. This in itself shows just what a GEM this gym is. You won't be sorry you joined as the community is solid. read more

This place is the answer to a busy person's prayer! The open gym concept with proven programming and coached sessions (if you want them) is an excuse-killing trifecta of Atomic Outpost perks. Not sure where to start? The coached sessions are great for 1:1 time. Can't make it to the coached session? No problem, get your butt in when YOUR schedule allows and get the work done. Not interested in figuring out your own workout? No problem, there's a workout written on the board for you - just get in and do work. Got a specific niche you're working out in and need the space and freedom to snatch, C&J, SBD, hip thrust or push sleds to your heart's content? No problem! I LOVE that I can follow any program here and no one looks at me like I'm a looney tune and there's never any douchey unwanted attention to deal with here. read more

Programming that empowers strong bodies and strong minds at this no frills, get it done, open gym concept. Self paced or class-based options provide ideal flexibility for those with busy schedules. There's a reason why Atomic has been at the top of the Austin fitness industry for 10+ years! Train here for long enough and you just might throw a med ball through a wall read more
