    Emergency Room

    This is an edit to my earlier review 7 weeks ago. *Scroll to the bottom for a summary if you don't want to read the whole thing.* Basically I got a concussion here because the coaches can't control their "fighters" i.e. old men who can't resist proving their masculinity by beating up a girl. So 7 weeks, $2k in Emergency Room hospital bills, dozens of lost work hours later, I am better. So what happens with a concussion is you get heavy migraines for hours all day every day. So heavy that Advil doesn't cut it. You need a TON of sleep just to get through the day and you can't concentrate on anything. I am STILL experiencing slight post-concussion syndrome as I write this 7 weeks later. I MAY have permanent damage. I'm NOT a newbie fighter by the way. I'm a 5'1" 115 lb. female with years of kickboxing and sparring experience. I paid $25 for a day pass and a bunch of middle-aged men (MULTIPLE weight classes above mine) thought it would be fun to "go hard on a girl." The class was NOT a sparring class, NOR was it meant specifically for fighters. It was just their regular 12pm kickboxing class. Oh and I didn't learn anything either. The coach had no interest in actually teaching. He was more into egging on the students to "go hard." I am talking to lawyers about suing the gym for unsafe conditions. Everyone knows that 16 oz. gloves are required at most gyms to ensure safety. Same with headgear, mouthguard and a competent coach. South Austin Gym had none of those requirements in place. The guys who hit my head hard were guaranteed NOT to be wearing 16 oz. gloves. I'm betting they were 10-12 oz. Less padding = more head trauma. For those of you interested in getting into boxing, kickboxing, or martial arts, check out Lord's Boxing Gym and Austin Kickboxing Academy, with a preference for Lord's. Richard Lord knows what he's doing and doesn't allow for unsafe i.e. STUPID behavior. I cannot believe this gym is actually still in business. DO NOT GO HERE. TL;DR (too long, didn't read): Incompetent coach. Unsafe environment. Expensive. Not worth it. Go to Lord's Boxing Gym. Or literally anywhere else. Can't get any worse than this.

    best gym there is started as a beginner and now im quicker than canelo. but really though the coaches are like family, the classes are very efficient and the weights are in great condition. the place is spacious with plenty of room to do your thing and there is a ring. i definitely recommend

There are tons of really nice treadmills, some with a running track that is curved and more rugged like you are running outdoors on a trail. The bikes are great, very updated. I do think the weights machines are outdated and need to be replaced. The TRX area has some classes. They also have several rooms with Pilates reformers, barre classes, as well as yoga, and circuit training. There are fancy stretching machines and massage chairs! Bonus! The sauna and steam room are separate sexes located in the locker rooms for privacy. The showers have good quality hair products and body wash. They even have razors and q-tips as well as cotton wipes. Hair dryers are available too. The pool area is really like a resort it is so nice. Plenty of loungers to relax on and good shade spots. This gym has all the beautiful people haha. Everyone is in like Lulu-lemon and dress to impress. Fun but a little intimidating when you wear old gym closes. They also have pickleball courts and basketball. You can take a pickleball lesson and sign up to play with others when comfortable. Lastly there is a spa and hair salon as well as a food center with high quality ingredients. This place is really really nice. I have never seen a nicer club in my life!

This time it was lifetime who booked me for 60 min when I wanted 30 min. I'm so over the spa here / they never have an esthetician available and charge $95 for a 30 min massage which is expensive by any means and the front desk manager is a bitch!

The workouts are tough but the best thing is that they are ALWAYS different. It's never the same boring old routine. They recently got an infrared sauna too! Their class times align to people who work long hours in addition to people who don't work as you can attend the 6am or 7am classes ( that's where I'm at ) or the 12pm or 5:30pm classes. I enjoy this class so much more then I ever enjoyed Barre, Yoga or CrossFit. It's just a true combination of everything and that makes it so much more doable as it never gets boring. Random body parts are always sore. They also always provide alternatives if you have an injury. The class is super diverse. People of ALL ages and ALL weights. It's refreshing. You're not intimated but you're also motivated. Personal tip: If Lateef doesn't immediately respond to your email just email again. He's an actual owner hustler as he teaches so many of his classes and does a lot of personal training and he doesn't have an assistant so he juggles it all on his own. Fit Austin is totally worth it so don't get upset just send a follow up and he will respond. It's worth it!!!!

    Fit Austin is amazing! I have been attending their daily classes for years now and I can't say…read moreenough good things about it. I have an unlimited membership for $150 a month where I can go every day to the gym. They have different packages and price points though. Some people have told me my package is expensive and if you are one of those people, rearrange your budget so that you can come to Fit Austin. Seriously, I love this place and you get your money's worth! The classes are 45 minutes with a warm up and cool down and they are intense (in a good way). They are small and the trainers are great! The classes are always different and work different parts of your body. You will never get bored with the classes here! It really is almost like personal training without the high budget. Although from the reviews here and what I have heard, Lateef and the rest of the trainers are amazing at personal training. I have to give a shout out to Lane LeBlanc who is currently a trainer there. She is super great, friendly, very encouraging and knowledgeable. I always look forward to any class with her! You have many time options every day for the classes and everyone there is friendly. They have bathrooms, a water bottle fill up station and showers if needed and a new sauna! If you are looking for a gym, don't look any further. Whether you need personal training or want to go to classes, this is the place for you!

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.
