I am in the best shape of my life from training hard and in a better place mentally. It's a very friendly environment and the classes are very intense, everyone is very encouraging and they push you to become stronger and work hard.

To anyone thinking about joining just come take the free trial class like I did and see if it's for you!

What gym hell must be like. Didn't realize this is basically a cross fit gym combined with the…read moreworst elements of the most ghetto Planet Fitness location. People walking around shirtless, dripping sweat, stinking, in bare feet, only socks, crocs, and Teva sandles. Nasty. Old dilapidated and low quality dumbbells, only 2 old treadmills and a few of the manual treadmills, no fixed weight barbells, a bathroom falling apart with the toilet bowl cover hanging on by one hinge. No air conditioning. Hot and smelly. Humid atmosphere. Couldn't draw up a worse gym in my imagination. To me it's 1 star but I guess to cross fit cultists this is what they like. Only a few smoothie choices and no chicken wraps or anything in their nutrition bar or whatever it's called. If you know how to work out and don't need or want a trainer or group then this place is definitely not for you. They do an incredible job on marketing and must edit photos or take superb angles like a catfish on tinder. Almost thinking they pay influencers to hype this place up. Either way I'd prefer the most basic Planet Fitness or Crunch 100x over this. In fact I'd rather get chubby and not work out over having to work out in an environment like this again.

And I'm glad I did! Overall, my experience was nothing short of fantastic. The group of people I work out and go to classes with is a great group of guys, everyone they have teaching classes is very knowledgeable, and they're good at helping everyone get better regardless of their belt level. I also like the fact they have open mats here almost every Sunday afternoon at 3pm, and they also offer a free BJJ street combative class as well to all their members that are looking to learn self defense for the streets in real life. Their prices are also reasonable, and it's a great team culture here too. Definitely recommend this place.

I've been severely out of shape since Covid because the gyms shut down, and I didn't feel safe going into a gym once they did open up. I was at my absolute heaviest weight I'd ever been, and getting back into shape seemed daunting. With Olivier's help, I am now building muscle, upping my cardio, and shedding weight. He focused on technique above power, which was really important to me because I came in knowing absolutely nothing and of course I don't want to get injured. Now if anyone were to put me in a threatening position, I know I can knee them in the head, teep them, and/or give them a nice punch to the liver. I feel more confident in my abilities, and I feel like I have a healthier, better body.

The instructors and owners are all welcoming, friendly, and likeable. The classes are well-structured and logical. How the teachers are taught to teach shows -- there is real effort in the environment they want to create / curate here. The trainers demonstrate clear expertise in every area. More importantly, though, the way the gym is run is the right way, in my opinion: it's VERY clean and sanitary and all the participants are trained to keep it that way. It's a don't-be-that-guy/gal kind of thing which everyone enforces, and this is a very good thing. Dirty gyms are not just gross but unsafe. This one is probably clean enough to do minor surgery in. But there are / have been vanishingly few injuries or accidents, that I know of. Safety first. The calendar / schedule is super consistent, and the billing is clear and transparent. Everything is right there on their website. The owners really don't hide the ball on anything - including why they do things the way they do them. It's not the cheapest gym in town, but it's worth it. You will love going enough that the cost will not matter. This is a safe environment - both physically and psychologically / interpersonally. There is a class for everyone, from the raw, non-athletic beginner interested in practical self-defense to the serious martial arts type. I wish I could go more often than I do. Highly recommend this one.

Their tiny tigers program definitely keeps my kindergartener's attention and their leadership program is great in helping tweens and teens develop leadership skills and confidence for adulthood. One of the things that sold me on this school was their Masters Club. This club offers all the benefits of traditional Songham Taekwondo but the fun part is the additional classes every Wednesday night. We learn other martial arts and street self defense including jiu jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, wrestling, grappling, and knife self defense. This class is affectionally called Wildcard Wednesdays because it could be anything! And it's all fun!! I have always been a fan of learning multiple disciplines but as you can imagine the cost of doing all of those at once can be tremendous. Mr Jason Shaefer brings it to us at a very reasonable price and makes it fun, fresh and entertaining. I truly recommend this place not only for anyone wanting to get back in shape but also if you have young ones that you want to keep active and engaged. It has a great family atmosphere and we all encourage and push each other to be better. I don't know many other places that offer this kind of environment, let alone with the ability to do this with family. My wife and three kids as well as brother, sister in law, niece and nephew are all taking classes here. It truly is a great place!

From the very first class, Mr. Schaefer, Mrs. Schaefer and Ms. Lallier were encouraging, helpful and made her feel at easy. In the very first class, Mr. Elizondo, a recommended blackbelt at the time, went out of his way to work with her and make sure that she understood the moves and was doing them they correct way. A few months later, our youngest daughter joined the Tiny Tigers program and has loved it. Ms. Lallier is a great teacher and has loads of patience with the little ones. She always has enough helpers to make sure that each student gets the attention that they deserve. Jump ahead another few months and now both myself and my wife have joined up. To say that South Austin ATA is a true family friendly environment is an understatement. The vast majority of the 50 - 60 students are part of a family. All and all it's a good group and the instructors truly care about their students. The biggest advantage I can see to South Austin ATA is that the owners are the instructors. They have a vested interest in making sure that the curriculum is administered correctly and they students are having fun! Highly recommend checking them out.
