There is nothing that puts you into a Zen state like doing Matt Pilates. So off I went to LA Fitness - South Lamar as a part of my New Year's Eve fitness regiment. For those who may not be familiar with Matt Pilates, it is a low-impact, floor-based exercise using the equivalent of a Yoga matt. It focuses on core strength, posture, flexibility, and controlled breathing. Matt Pilates differs from Reformer Pilates, which uses spring-loaded machines aka as reformers. Matt Pilates relies on your body weight and gravity for resistance. Most big box gyms offers Matt pilates, whereas Reformer Pilates usually occur at Pilates studios or higher end gym locations. A Pilates Reformer can easily cost $200-$250+ per month. Many movie stars like Gwenth Paltrow and Dakota Johnson swear by Reformer Pilates. I have only done a trial membership with Reformer Pilates. Matt Pilates is very affordable and usually included in your gym membership, making it cost-effective. After my Matt Pilates class I was so Zen, I felt like taking a nap. However, after hitting the ignition key, I left my Zen state. read more

It's bright. When it's clean it feels new. But this place is like all other gyms. It starts off nice but then just goes downhill. The same equipment has been broken for months. Not sure why it's so hard to fix things. The cable machine has been broken well over 50 days. And counting. Also, the people who open the club on the weekends are consistently late. In fact, I'm writing this on the parking lot waiting for the gym to open - should have opened 10 minutes ago. A few weeks ago someone strolled in around 8:17 when it should have opened at 8. This started out so promising. What happened? read more

Shane at the front desk was really respectful and nice! The gym was clean and the equipment was organized and clean.

I started going here when they opened, because I was tired of broken equipment not getting fixed at my old gym. Well, when there's no local control, there's no equipment getting fixed. The remodeling was a total dud, and the equipment that was replaced feels like an older model likely heavily discounted. I go here because it's convenient, I can usually watch HBO on the treadmill, and it serves my needs at a good price. read more

I actually driver further to go to this gym because the manager Aaron is such a great guy, the employees are very respectful and the gym equipment is top notch. read more

This is for the Anderson location. Dump. Pure and simple. Dump. Dirty, dingy, dinky. Went there on and off for a couple of years. Even the water fountain was broken. Look out in the jacuzzi, do they clean it? Sit in the chairs by the dumbbells and just dirty floor. Sad looking machines that have been there for ages. Try finding attachments. read more

Great staff , clean ! The size and Leo along with the multitude of year is impressive. I've been to a lot of gyms and this franchise never disappoints. PT from Canada read more

Awesome Gym with great equipment and vibe. Great spot ! Has everything you need and tons of space. Definitely check it out

I was apprehensive about joining LA Fitness but Aaron was so helpful. He gave me a tour and spent time showing me how to use the equipment. I would highly recommend this gym! read more

Never thought I'd switch from LA fitness to literally any other gym. They renovated but still can't get clean restrooms nor honest sales people. Plumber is always "on the way", cleaners are always "aware of it" already. What a joke of a gym. Don't let the pretty new entrance fool you, management couldn't care less. They always do a little laugh and say "ahh we know, we know". Oh but there are always plenty of sales people, even on a Sunday when it's practically dead, they just sit on their desks looking around. Perhaps LA fitness should invest in better cleaners rather than a bunch of sales agents. If you're signing up for LA fitness for THE POOL, make sure you're aware you're going to be sharing it with a kids swim class most of the day. read more

I absolutely love this gym. As an avid gym goer I have tried a variety of gyms here in Austin and LA fitness has got to be one of my favorites. I love the open floor layout. The gym has a variety of cardio machines (elliptical, bikes, treadmills, stair master). It also has 5 squat racks and 3 benches. Can be a bit busy at peak times. There is a pool, racquetball courts. And a sauna. Overall rating 4/5. As the bathrooms can be cleaned. read more

Subpar, and hard membership to get out off for some reason. I dint recommend, don't like these sort of gyms.

Best gym in Austin changed my life i'm so fit now. I love it so much I wouldn't go to any other gym.

The membership department is super rude and pushy. I've been a member here since moving to Austin and on the rare occasion I extend a 7 day pass to my boyfriend they borderline harass him to sign up. What is the point of a guest pass for friends/ family if that means we will have to wait 20 minutes to hear some rude man try and force an unwanted membership. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Please learn to take no as an answer. 11-MAR-2026 @ 6:15 pm membership employee. read more

Anytime I am in Austin this is the facility I look forward to getting a workout in. This is a top tier location with outstanding staff.

5/5. Great place to workout. Would recommend. Nice equipment, friendly staff. Nice pool too.

Equipment broken, classes canceled all the time without online updates, poor cleanliness, there is no accoubility fr the employees and management. They will give people some promo deals, and pack the gym to the max not having the capacity, and equipment to handle the crowd. Ive been wirh them for 8 years, good bye! Oh they ask around to give them good online reviews and then the owner will only thank for the positive reviews while ignoring or reflecting on the one who they should pay attention to improve read more

Bathrooms and locker rooms definitely need a facelift. Not very many group classes which sucks because I did like their yoga awhile back. But the weights and cardio section is fine, gets the job done read more

Awesome gym and steric. Especially Nely who was great w the customer service. definitely would come back.

When there is a problem with the equipment, spa, swimming pool and talk with the people in charge they just say the manager does not care what the customers say or want. Even when there is a serious problem that may cause injury they say when we report to the manager he does not care. This at the club on Anderson lane in Austin. So moving to another club. read more

The showers were freezing cold. My boyfriend's apartment is right by this location but I wanted to shower at the gym because his hot water runs out pretty quick. I would've been better off showering at his apartment because the water at this LA fitness was freezing! I could barely get through my shower read more

This gym is such a piece of s*** it's so annoying that is occupying such prime real estate for a gym. The hot water has been out for 4-6 weeks with seemingly no attempt to fix it. When I asked about it today they said it's only cold "because of the cold weather" when it's been cold for less than 24 hours. Austin over the last 6 weeks has been around 60-80 degrees every day so it's clearly the water heater. Avoid this place. It's dirty, never cleaned, equipment goes unrepaired for months. And then once you finish working out in the terrible gym enjoy a freezing cold shower to finish it off. read more

Clean, has everything needed for a complete workout. Also convenient to stop by nearby shops for pre or post workout

Have tried to reserve a racquetball court online for the last 3 or 4 weeks and the site is down due to some error! When will the site be back online! This is important to us because two of the four racquetball courts have been close and converted for another function. We need to be able to reserve a court to be make sure we have a court to play at our normal days and times. read more

Amazing gym, clean locker rooms, and good equipment. My friends and I were taken care of by Aaron. He was helpful and profession.

Visiting Austin on vacation and decided to drop-in for a workout by paying the day pass fee. Front desk and location manager were super friendly and surpassed the vibe check. The facility was huge and really well kept so I got my moneys worth and was able to work arms, core and legs during my visit. Lots of cardio machines too. Salamat to this LAFitness Squad for showing a Cali gal some love. read more

This place is full of creepy men. There's too many guys who wear sunglasses while sitting on exercise equipment and just looking around, men who constantly stare and make uncomfortable eye contact while your hip thrusting or deadlifting and there's also no safe space for women to stretch or warm up. I've had to drop my weights and confront the men and say 'what are you staring at?!' and all they do is shrug their shoulders and walk away. I have to wear a XL baggy shirt and then wrap another long sleeve around my waist so I feel somewhat comfortable. As I'm typing this review up, I am stretching on the black mats right outside the spin classroom and there is a man right behind me sitting on the seated dip machine, with polarized sunglasses made by Pit Viper. And No, those are not prescription sunglasses. They are regular sunglasses. read more

Staff is always outstanding. Lots of good equipment. Plenty of space. Have brought friends and family alike to work out and always have a great session with courteous numbers sharing equipment if needed. read more

I've enjoyed my membership for years but recently I needed to term my membership due to life changes. I was given the run around and when with speaking with Ken the general manager things was made worse. It took an act of congress to cancel my membership. I kept getting the run around and Ken was rude. I hate to say it upon his response to my concerns I was just as rude. When I pay my money anywhere, I want to be heard. Ken acted like I was bothering him and at some point, hung up in my face. My company was looking to do a business partnership with LA Fitness, I'll share my experience. If you want to feel valued and like you voice and money matters DO NOT CALL KEN AT LA Fitness. Look elsewhere for a gym membership. I'm so disappointed in Ken. I will say I did speak with corporate, and they assisted me. Why did I have to go through so much to be heard when. read more

The gym equipment is decent, and there are sufficient sanitization wipes in the month I've been using the gym. The sales team is a bit intense. To sign up for anything, even the free complementary stuff that comes with a membership, it has to be done through them. And they will not stop trying to push additional things. I get that they are a sales team, and their job is to sell things. But signing up for a class is maybe a 10min task. Not a 35-40min discussion of PRT and why its worth doing. I have other things to get to. It should all get automated at this point. read more

Best Gym in Austin! Even has a pool and tons of machine. Staff is very friendly and gym is very clean.

The no soap/paper towels in men's bathroom and the constant running out of sanitizer wipes is getting old. Please make that a priority

I go in today. I tell the three guys at the front desk about the mess in front of the building. When I leave about an hour later it is still there. And the people at the front desk are goofing around doing nothing. This place is always dirty and they do not care. My rating is a big 0! read more

LA Fitness - Still there the next day. - Gyms Near Me - Austin, Texas

I enjoy the swimming pool, and the water is a much more reasonable temp than most of the pools outdoors this time of the year! Haven't really explored more of this gym to comment on the rest of the equipment, but the pool serves its function and is mostly clean on the days that I'm there. Only thing keeping it from being a 5-star for me is that I wish it were only even more cool temps! read more

Can I give it a zero? I used to like this place but they are not a family. They don't care about you. They are scammers. Horrible ways to cancel and customer service doesn't care about you and doesn't give you any of the right info. Paid way more than I needed to for this place. Good luck read more

Don't trust this place with your money, it's a scam. Trainers are $280/month (four 25-min sessions), but many times they are more like 15-minute sessions + possible hidden fees. Membership is $34/month negotiable. You can get a free week trial before giving any personal information and enrolling, although, they will pressure you to give them all your information plus some other contacts you have so they can call them until they enroll. My friends were upset that I gave them that information despite I asked them, cause they were bombarded with calls. Watch out with the salesman, I was charged extra sessions on some months and he won't take no for an answer when offering extended plans and memberships. Don't enroll for an extensive period of time as there are no refunds despite them making it seem like not a big deal, once signed there is no cancelation. I was sold something totally different than I was offered. Ask for deals, promotions, and discounts since they will duplicate their starting price. The first training sessions you don't get to work out as they ask questions and talk. LA Fitness warmly welcomes new customers with 'sales strategies' where you have to pay upfront fees plus your last month of enrollment as a non-refundable-deposit. The WIFI is terrible and there is no phone reception, the LA Fitness app freezes every time. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER, they dont let me cancel, they keep charging me extra fees, I do NOT want to be member and yet they dont let me cancel, so they keep adding to their imaginary bill, deceptive practices, do not join read more

Staff is off and on. Paper towels not filled in bathrooms several times. Equipment decent but only variety of lyptical available which is not as good for knees as some others read more

I come here regularly, but there's a few issues: 1) cleanliness - the bathrooms are not the cleanest in terms of look, feel, or smell. 2) temperature - the gym is way too hot, especially the locker rooms. I recommend turning the thermostat down as Texas is hot and humid. 3) supply - there are not enough bench and squat racks so people are often waiting in line. However, the gym is spacious and well-attended. Even during peak hours, it's somewhat manageable. Staff is friendly for the most part too. Parking is plentiful. read more

This gym is sad. Unfortunately, Austin seems to be lacking in the gym department and this was the best option in my area.. MAIN complaint, the equipment is ALWAYS broken and is so dated it seems dangerous. I think 4/6 stair masters have been broken for months, signs that say "scheduled for maintenance". Literally when??? WHEN? It's unfortunate that we pay annual fees and it seems that no updates are ever made & still using the same defective equipment from the year 2000. Smith machines stick and are dangerous. The seats on all the equipment are cracked. Towels to wipe off equipment are often empty. With that all being said. Bathrooms & showers are always dirty. Sauna is a nice bonus but I have started to commute an additional 15 minutes each morning to go to a different location. The equipment is always broken there as well, locker rooms aren't nearly as gross. Rant over. Do better & fix your equipment. read more
