This was my second time dropping in and the environment and energy is indescribable! I've been…read moredoing crossfit for 6 years and it's a breath of fresh air to see coaches really care about technique, proper warm ups and good programming. All the members so so welcoming and each coach, Sara and Taylor came up to say hi to me even though they were just doing class, they went out of their way to make my friend and me welcomed. Michael was teaching class and he was very accommodating in letting us do our programming. The coaches all look badasses and it just makes you want to workout haha! Can't wait to drop in again! Thank you for the hospitality! Side note: we misplaced our phone and two of the members helped us look for it when they didn't have to but that just shows what kind of community they have! Thank you again

Sadly, I had to pull out of this exceptional gym for a while, which is now rebranded as Karhu…read moreStrength, secondary to my crazy work schedule. However, I was a member for a little over two years and my body never looked better...even if I was consistently last on the scoring board. It doesn't matter if you are a retired athlete (lots of legitimate athletes in this place. Just randomly ask someone, 'so, what was your sport', and you'll get an answer ranging from 'i'm a trainer for UT Longhorns' 'I was a swimmer in college' 'i was in the CrossFit games'.) or just a shmo like myself, the coaches/leaders treat us all the same. Sara took me under her mama wing from the start. They are all great at spotting your weaknesses and working with you. And the community is exceptional...just good people all around. I hope I can get back someday, but you really need to be in the zone when you go in and my head is presently consistently occupied somewhere else (healthcare).

Urban Lagree is a great studio if you're looking for a solid, effective workout. I really like…read moreLagree in general because it's challenging but low-impact, and this studio makes the experience even better. Everyone there is super nice and welcoming. They have a small parking lot in the back, which is really convenient. There are lockers available, but everyone is pretty safe and relaxed, so it's fine to keep your things near your reformer. If you haven't tried Lagree before, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot, it's such a great workout. And as a bonus, there's a local taco spot nearby that's perfect for grabbing a bite after class!

My friend invited me as a guest to a Pilates class at the Urban Lagree Pilates studio. Urban Lagree…read moreclasses are instructed on a Megaformer, loaded with 8 springs to add tension for light and heavy exercises. When I arrived, there was parking available in the back. The check in process was easy through an iPad in the front of the studio. I received a warm welcome to class and since it was my first time to attend I received a detailed introduction to the Pilates Megaformer machine and all the mechanics. The Megaformer was more elaborate and had more functionality than the wooden reformers that I had used in the past. Spots were not preassigned, so I was able to sit next to my friend. The class was 45 minutes long and designed to tone your body. Urban Lagree is a high-intensity, low impact strength training workout. The focus was on muscular endurance which will improve your overall strength and core stability. There were resistance movement that focused on balance and targeted muscles that I normally don't hit in my HIIT workouts. Some movements I could feel the burn and was really getting a targeted focus on the smaller muscles in my body. After the workout I felt empowered and rejuvenated. Even though I was relatively new to Pilates, the instructor's instructions were easy to follow and she provided constructive feedback when needed. Really enjoyed my experience at Urban Lagree!

Lots of machines that I've never had to wait to use one…read more Every time I'm there someone is cleaning something and therefore always looks cleans. I'd recommend the black card so you can access their massage chairs, tanning beds, and hydromassage beds (which are so good after a workout!)

It's a decent gym and you get what you pay for…read more I do enjoy going at times they aren't too busy. The app has a meter to tell you how busy they are. I do like that feature! Employees are on their phones a lot. You might get a greeting once in a while. I noticed an employee the other day watching Tiktok while she was refilling the spray bottles. Her phone was on the cart as she walked and scrolled. She missed refilling paper towels in one area, probably because she was glued to her phone. Many members don't sanitize the machines after, so I would suggest cleaning them before and after use. Even though there are signs everywhere! I've also been distracted with gym members having phone conversations while on machines. It's not a policy that is enforced, so I just find another machine and return later. It sometimes takes a while to repair broken machines. Black tape is used to repair tears in the fabric but doesn't usually last that long. Overall, $10/ month plus their annual fee is a steal.

I have had the best experience working out here. It started with a trial class, as most studios do,…read moreand it instantly felt like a fit and I signed up for membership. I liked that each workout is a bit different (unlike OT), with personal attention given by the coaches to form (unlike F45), while building strength in similar muscles groups to get fit over time. It also rotates in format with a good mix of resistance, strength, HIIT, cardio. It's usually 20-30 people in a class and you feel part of a community - other members are friendly and supportive of you need it, but also focused on their goals and not in your way of you prefer that. The place has easy free parking which makes the logistics easy and lockers/cubbies. They provide clean sweat towels (actually clean). And the team is highly responsive on phone/ message - I've never had issues reaching someone if I've needed to.

The diverse community and coaches are all there to support your progress and I love the dynamic classes that build in progressions.

This Southeast Austin gold's gym location has been in this strip mall for over 20 years…read more It has everything you need and it's right off of I-35 so if I'm in the area passing through it's always a good option. It is a little bit outdated compared to some of the other ones so I wouldn't make this your home base but the staff is friendly and if you have the multi gym membership this will definitely serve your needs and have all the equipment that you're used to. It might not have a lot of the new cardio equipment or special equipment but you can definitely get a solid workout in if that's your goal!

When my fiancé and I moved to Austin, we knew we wanted an F45 to be our home base. We got lucky…read moreending up so close to F45 SoCo Lab, and honestly, I feel spoiled. Every trainer here is welcoming, encouraging, and takes the time to help with your form and positioning. The studio itself is bigger than most F45 locations I've been to, and all of the equipment feels new and well maintained. Booking classes is easy, and I love the variety they offer. The workouts stay true to the F45 format, but they mix in different challenges and specialty workouts often enough that it never feels repetitive. The extra amenities are a huge bonus. They have a red light therapy machine (available as a paid add-on), plus complimentary perks like Normatec leg compression boots, a sauna, and even a table tennis table if you want to hang out after class. Parking is easy too, which is always a plus. This is genuinely one of the best gyms, and we're going to be so sad to leave when we move in a few months. If you're looking for an F45 in the area, I can't recommend this one enough!

First off, I had an Austin address which is required for the day pass. Secondly, I entered basic info and signed the waiver. I didn't have to then meet with a sales rep who would used high pressure sales tactics (scarcity, urgency, blah blah) to enjoy jt workout (unlike my LA Fitness experience). The gym would either sell itself or it wouldn't. Tomas at the front desk was very warm and personable, a very refreshing exchange. As for the gym itself, I like the layout, but it's definitely outdated. I'm going with a gym closer to me that is higher end, but I recommend using the day pass (if you're an Austin resident) to see if it's a good fit for you or not.
