Away from the crowds, big box gyms is a gym hidden in the landscape of Oak Hill in plain sight and…read morefrequented by a devout group of fitness folks. When I could no longer tolerate the big box gyms, the crowds that flock to them and the bad behaviors that have cropped up over time, I finally made the move to this gym. Sure it's smaller, sure it doesn't have daycare, saunas, pools, giant changing rooms but I consider all those things a plus. People who show up here show up to work out not sit at the sauna and pool all day. The price point is higher than most gyms but not unreasonable. You get what you pay for -- mostly in peace and quiet and an overall more courteous gentler crowd. There is a good mix of equipment that can handle a mix of folks who just want fitness, folks who are into bodybuilding and powerlifters. For the most part all three groups exist in peace. Perhaps the general fitness folks may at times be a little intimidated by some of the louder harder workouts of the powerlifters. But this can be mitigated by changing the time you go. I get overstimulated by such noises so I try to avoid those folks if I can. ( I can be a gentle flower lol) Gender balance. This gym has a very healthy gender balance. Luckily this crowd is not there to find suitors, they are there to work out so no fake eyelashes or clown makeup nor guys just dragging their wings along the ground like turkeys in heat. Please respect this dynamic and don't come here to hit on people. Like most gyms the peak time is 5-7 week days except it's mostly Monday to Wednesday that's somewhat busy during rush hour. But nothing like the big box gyms. It's busy but not impossible to get a workout in like other gyms. Folks are not aggressive with each other, they are kind when they approach you for working in etc. I take a long time at some machines people should be upset but there is no upset, only kindness. They are swapping out some of the equipment and its changes for the better -- mind you what's there is already plenty. This is a small gym floor compared to mix chain gyms. The gym in Lincoln village is slightly larger and the new one in round rock will be huge. The hours are great. Parking is plenty however not endless, sometimes you will have to hunt a little. The gym is clean, bathrooms is clean but could be better. I am just being honest. It's just fine. I have been spoiled by Lifetime and EOS. There is a regular crowd that's been there a long time and they sometimes do exert a little bit of ownership and territorial behavior but they are mostly harmless, they could use the challenge of new faces, and they are perfectly able to adapt and accept newcomers. So don't be intimidated. It's all teddy bears in there. The staff also is amazingly friendly and attentive and keep the place sharp and on top shape and help members. I highly recommend you get a week pass and check it out!

Easiest 5 stars I've ever given a business…read more Been lifting here for 6 months.. was my intro back into powerlifting(for passion). People of all ages genuinely love this gym. I've made 50 or so friends and acquaintances with all the members.. the demographic is all ages here, at all fitness levels. The main reason I adore this gym, is the quality of equipment, and availability of said equipment. As someone who's 30 years old and has been lifting weights since they were 15.. I know my way around a gym. This gym has EVERYTHING you could ever need to build your dream body, and they're not endorsing me to say these words. I am passionate about fitness, some would say more than average. Los Campeones is truly a gym of champions. Choose this gym.

It was too expensive to do both, but the childcare has changed so many times. I'm so sick of it. Honestly the kids climbing and playing on the soccer field while I worked out kept me here. Now you only offer a small playscape? That thing gets packed and my kids are always having to deal with the other kids' poor behavior (which most of the time ends up in someone getting hurt). Gold's gym had more to offer for less money. Unless you HAVE to have some form of childcare or you have your kids in sports here... just go somewhere else. I wish this wasn't the truth. I was beyond excited when it was being built I was literally waiting for it to open to get a membership. I will say one thing... as a majority the staff is always positive and puts a smile on your face.

The gym itself, although on the smaller side, has been great. There are 6 treadmills, 6 elliptical…read moremachines, and 3 barbell squat racks but as for the rest there is only one of each machine. I've had my membership a few years now, most of which I was going at night time 10pm to avoid a crowd. That was good but was interfering with my sleep so I started going in the morning usually 8am. Now despite the fact that there is only 8-12 people during the daytime you will still find 2-3 people using multiple machines at once like a circuit training, instead of doing all of your sets on that machines, wiping it and moving on. This is horrible etiquette for a smaller gym with only one type of machine or equipment and there are no rules posted to discourage this. I wish these people would join a larger gym if they want to do circuit type training. Not great when you're on a time crunch waiting for a machine while someone is across the room on a totally different machine but have their towel and water bottle next to the machine holding their place. Something else I personally don't mind because I'm there to burn calories, is that I usually have to put other people's weights away, re-rack plates or organize then jump box's and kettlebells to clear an area before I use it if it's a Friday Saturday or Sunday. My complaints are mostly with the behaviors of the patrons which I know is not the fault of anytime fitness, I will be switching for a larger gym with more equipment in October. I will see if cancellation has any issues as other reviews have mentioned. I did have a small mixup trying to cancel back in June when I found out my contract was on auto-renew every year if you don't actually cancel the auto-renew option it will start a new year contract every year instead of going month-to-month after the initial one year contract signed. So I had to actually pause the membership at the next gym I'm going to in order to finish this second years' contract I was unaware I was signed up for. I'm sure it's in the fine print. The gym is great if you catch it with few people or totally empty it feels like a personal gym which I loved. The good thing about anytime fitness is you can use any location nationwide when you have the membership, which I visited several in austin, FM 1826 ended up being my main location for majority of my membership.

I received a guest pass for a cycle workout from my Yelp friend Airon Andrews…read more I was impressed with the gym. There are so many amenities...snack shop, free towels, hydro massage chairs, Normatek compression boots, cold therapy chairs, pool, and real massages. The cycle class by dynamic instructor David Garza was quite a workout! It was only 30 minutes long but energy packed! I was familiar with the Soul Cycle type classes, which include push-ups while cycling. But this class introduced dance style moves, such as swaying hips. It was a real dance party! I was exhausted but feeling great afterwards. We partook of the Normatek compression boots, which were good therapy for my recently injured knee. The hydro massage chairs were taken, so we skipped that. All in all, this high end gym was a great experience. I would join, except my insurance does not cover the gym because it is considered "premium."

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!

Yes, I was rusty, yet a few of the players wanted to make it into some kind of elite player team.

They actually gave me instructions to stay on their team's sidelines as they put in their friends. I'm done with YMCA until they lay down strict guidelines as to how the players are incorporated into a "novice" volleyball team. I'm thoroughly disgusted . I will not be back until something changes. Yes, this is up to the YMCA to enforce the rules!
