    Ever seen the movie "Pain & Gain" with The Rock and Mark Wahlberg? Every corner I turned, I expected to see their characters pop out. This place is definitely stuck in the 90s. From the design of their logo, to their colors, to how dark it is inside. That being said, I love this gym. They have a huge selection of weights with a few cardio machines thrown in for good measure. They have machines I've never seen, and machines I never want to see again . They also have a huge selection of free weights with different strongman bars and apparatuses (apparati?) that I've not seen anywhere else. Backstreet has a separate powerlifting area so the grunts, groans, and dropping weights don't disturb everyone else. The biggest downside was the two young guys working the counter. They didn't seem to have any idea what was going on as several people had questions that they just kind of shrugged off.

    We are really blessed to have a modern, spacious and high-end gym in El Paso. I went early for a…read moreTrip Spinning class and it was plentiful of pushing and climbing hard. More than 450 calories at the end which directly contributes to donation of cash to your favorite not-for-profit. Love the concept. Did you know? The Andy Warhol painting at the entry changes upon your angle of visualization. From Marilyn to Bang ‼ and Funky Paradise. I guess it means you can start your training with a real BANG!!

    Luxury. Tech. Vibes. This is the gym El Paso's been waiting for…read more I found it, y'all -- the it gym. Kinective Fitness in El Paso is where fitness, fun, and a little bit of bougie all collide in the best way possible. This place is more than a gym -- it's a two-story-plus-rooftop experience that somehow manages to feel upscale and welcoming. Think boutique hotel vibes meet high-tech wellness playground. Let's start with the first floor: it's stunning. The aesthetic is modern, spacious, and designed with intention -- every detail feels thought out. The front desk team was so friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in (even when I had a little misunderstanding about my visit -- more on that later). There's a healthy café right by the entrance serving smoothies and food that fits every lifestyle, including vegan options. They even have a secret door that leads to a massage therapist's suite -- yes, an actual hidden door. There's also a retail section stocked with Lululemon and gym swag, so if you forget something, they've got you covered. Parents, take note -- there's also an on-site kids' daycare on the first floor, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. It's clean, bright, and makes it so much easier for members with little ones to actually enjoy their workout time without stress. The first floor also houses the HIIT training room -- dark, moody lighting, TRX straps, and those curved, motorless treadmills that make you feel like a machine. MetCon classes happen here too, and if you're serious about lifting, you'll find top-notch equipment plus unique tools for competitors or physique athletes. You'll also spot the personal training offices, a compression therapy area (available for an extra fee), and super clean locker rooms with everything -- infrared sauna, steam room, zero-gravity massage chairs, tons of vanity space, and more showers than I could count. The second floor keeps the wow factor going with tons of cardio equipment overlooking the first level and massive windows with mountain views. This is also where you'll find The Trip, and honestly, this alone makes the membership worth it. The Trip is a next-level immersive cycle class -- think virtual-reality-meets-spin-studio. You ride through projected worlds on enormous screens, and it's all synced to music and visuals. The bikes are smooth, and the tech setup is seriously impressive. You even check in via small digital screens before class. That said, my only real miss came during The Trip. As a first-time guest, I didn't get any help setting up my bike, and the instructor didn't acknowledge new riders. Thankfully, another member helped me out -- shoutout to friendly gym people everywhere -- but I wish someone had guided me through that first experience. It's a small thing that makes a big difference, especially in a high-end gym like this. After class, I met Jeff, the general manager, who gave me a full tour -- and he was phenomenal. Super professional, friendly, and passionate about the space. He explained how every class syncs to your Connective app, showing your heart rate and stats in real-time on giant projectors (unless you choose to opt out). It's all very tech-forward, which I love. Upstairs you'll also find Pilates Reformer classes (extra fee), yoga and barre studios, and even a meditation-only room -- dark, quiet, with twinkling ceiling lights and soft music. It's honestly a dream. Every floor has its own bathrooms (thank you!), and everything is spotless and thoughtfully designed. And then -- the rooftop. The vibe up here is unreal. There's a track for running or walking, kettlebells, monkey bars, and a full outdoor workout setup with mountain views. At night, it transforms into this elevated hangout space with misters, ambient lighting, and even a bar serving drinks. They host events up here too, and you don't have to be a member to book one. I came in on a free trial day, but you'd never know it from how I was treated -- the staff was wonderful, and I felt like a valued member. They also offer day passes, week passes, and flexible memberships. So, the hits? Pretty much everything. The design, the energy, the tech, the amenities -- this place nails the luxury fitness experience. The misses? Just a couple small service gaps during my first visit. But overall, Kinective Fitness is absolutely the boutique gym of El Paso -- where wellness meets wow. There's a second location coming soon ! (Plano , TX)

    I was excited to learn Pure Barre opened two locations in El Paso since my last visit here in 2017…read more My sister-in-law lives very close to this Kern Place location and is a regular. She was able to get me a free trial while I am visiting here for Memorial Day weekend/to celebrate my nieces' birthdays. We came here three times already! Friday and today we took the classic class, with Erica Friday and Heather today. We took owner Salina's empower class on Saturday. The workout is very challenging but the instructors were motivating and corrected my wonky posture as needed. They seemed to know all clients' names and called out compliments to people by name throughout the class. The studio is spacious and clean. On Friday, we got free wine after the class! I also got free scented epsom salt as a newbie. I definitely was sore after each class! This is a nice community of women and a great addition to the area!

    I love Pure Barre and this is an amazing studio! Joey and Salina (the owners) are fantastic…read moreinstructors and are very welcoming to everyone! This studio offers three different classes: classic pure barre; empower (which is more of a cardio workout); and reform (which is more Pilates based and incorporates resistance tubes). I love all three classes. The regular barre class incorporates small movements where you use your own body weight as resistance and then you stretch intermittently throughout class. I've always loved fitness but Pure Barre is by far my favorite work out! Plus, the people at this studio are amazing! I can honestly say being at the barre is my happy place. If you are even the tiniest bit curious, check it out! Worst case scenario you will get an amazing workout. Best case scenario it will change your life! This studio, in my opinion, also boasts the best work out retail in the city! Check it out :)

It's a nice looking spacious club (2 stories high) and bigger than it looks on the outside. The 1st floor had weights (machines and free weights. They also have a sauna in the women's locker room and an aqua jet massage room. The daycare is also on the 1st floor and the highest monthly plan includes childcare for 2 hours (18+months and older). The 2nd floor has cardio machines, and a room for women specifically, which was pretty cool. There were separate classrooms for yoga/Zumba, cycling, HIIT classes with rowing and stair machines, and a class for boxing with equipment. All in all it's a pretty good value for the prices. $10/mo per person for just access to the gym $44/mo per person for the highest level with classes and childcare But if you have insurance, you might be able to enroll into their Active and Fit or Silver Sneakers plan and it drops it to $25/mo per person. They're open M-Thu 5am-midnight, Friday 5am-10pm, Sat 8am-7pm, Sun 9am-7pm I'm hoping to get them to host another free trial with childcare for moms in the morning time to try them out next quarter...stay tuned!

And it includes the spa services, which is the top selling point for planet fitness. This particular planet fitness used to be a Power House back in the day, then it was the first PF in El Paso. They've recently remodeled it to look just like all the other updated PF gyms. The equipment looks new, and all the "stations" are amazing: abs, 30 min workout, etc. the women's locker is also newly remodeled. They have plenty of lockers, so bring a lock. There's also showers and 2 vanities. I will miss the old concept of the cardio room in the dark, but, oh well. Just bring a baseball cap, and shades if it's too bright. And bring a mask, if not one will be provided in the front. Oh, and they sell water and drinks in the front. No cash needed, they can charge it to your card on file. Also, there's a lady selling work out clothes in the same facility. But that's another review. Enjoy!
