The instructors are SO nice and very motivating. Each have their own type of playlist to keep you moving. The workouts are tough and can be modified based on your level. They are strict with class times, so don't be late! Plenty of parking if you take a morning class.

THE BIG: Nice, big, spacious, and modern class-style gym in the St. Elmo district of South Austin…read more Friendly community with knowledgeable coaches. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I tried out a class here with yelp and came back for more. There's multiple class times per day. They do have a strict on-time policy because it takes a few minutes to instruct the movements. Class structure is five stations and you rotate to each station based on # of sets and time. At each station there are different levels of RPE. Depending on the day, you can decide how heavy or light you want to go. Bathrooms and showers are also a part of the amenity here at the gym. THE FINAL BAMBOO: If you want to get a great HIIT workout while being plugged into a fitness community, MADabolic is your place! If it was closer to where I lived, I would definitely be a member here. Highly recommend.

Lateef and his team are the best! I've been coming here for just over a year and I'm not only…read morenotably stronger I look so much better naked ! 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!

What a workout! I had my first HEAT total body - strength and stability workout with Billy and felt…read moregood and burned a number of calories to boot. I was a little apprehensive about boot camp workouts before coming here but I can see how effective they are as you keep moving during these workouts and get some cardio conditioning too. Good form is encouraged and the instructor goes from station to station to motivate and to help with modifications. Plus you get a killer playlist to listen to and people of all fitness levels to workout with. Looking forward to incorporate Heat into my exercise routine.

I loved the no nonsense workout routine at HEAT. It's a no frills focused bootcamp style workout…read more Both instructors I've experienced were superb at helping modify and focus on getting a good workout in rather than doing moves without efficacy. My Saturday session was quite full but Thursday was only 6 of us. The group varied in experience and intensity so you never felt left behind and always had someone to observe and feel inspired by.

I have had the best experience working out here. It started with a trial class, as most studios do,…read moreand it instantly felt like a fit and I signed up for membership. I liked that each workout is a bit different (unlike OT), with personal attention given by the coaches to form (unlike F45), while building strength in similar muscles groups to get fit over time. It also rotates in format with a good mix of resistance, strength, HIIT, cardio. It's usually 20-30 people in a class and you feel part of a community - other members are friendly and supportive of you need it, but also focused on their goals and not in your way of you prefer that. The place has easy free parking which makes the logistics easy and lockers/cubbies. They provide clean sweat towels (actually clean). And the team is highly responsive on phone/ message - I've never had issues reaching someone if I've needed to.

When I reached out on Aug 28th they told me I had a freeze until October 14th and we would address canceling closer to this date, only to charge me on Sept 1st. I was then told my freeze didn't go to October and I would have to pay for a month before they would cancel my membership. I've got emails to back all this up. They didn't care. Told them I wouldn't be able to use these credits and that I can't afford to pay this mont. They didn't care. Even after years of working out with them. Regarding workouts. Most of them are really good. Some move from station to station too quickly. Especially if you need to add or remove weights from a bar. Coaches are helpful half the time. Sometimes they're great and will correct your form or give tips. Most of the time they just want to have small talk while you workout. Just be mindful when getting a membership there. It really does just comes down to their bottom dollar and it's less about their clients.

Yall. There are not enough words I could use to rave about this gym. I haven't committed to a gym…read moremembership in years and thought I was a ClassPass girlie for life. That was until my first AO class. This gym is lightning in a bottle. The programming is dynamic, engaging and effective. It's designed to help you challenge yourself week over week. The different classes between AO Strength, AO Fit and AO Power really allow you to find something tailored to your goals. I currently have the 8 class monthly membership as I am also training for a race but see myself upgrading to unlimited in the future. Now let's talk about the instructors -- the literal BEST. every single one is so engaged in your personal journey and locked in on how to help. I brought a friend with me on my third class and she was like 'are you sure you haven't been coming here for years, they are acting like they've known you forever'. If you are looking for a fun, intentional, challenging place to get fit and stay fit look no further! Love my AO family!!

Lots of machines that I've never had to wait to use one…read more Every time I'm there someone is cleaning something and therefore always looks cleans. I'd recommend the black card so you can access their massage chairs, tanning beds, and hydromassage beds (which are so good after a workout!)

It's a decent gym and you get what you pay for…read more I do enjoy going at times they aren't too busy. The app has a meter to tell you how busy they are. I do like that feature! Employees are on their phones a lot. You might get a greeting once in a while. I noticed an employee the other day watching Tiktok while she was refilling the spray bottles. Her phone was on the cart as she walked and scrolled. She missed refilling paper towels in one area, probably because she was glued to her phone. Many members don't sanitize the machines after, so I would suggest cleaning them before and after use. Even though there are signs everywhere! I've also been distracted with gym members having phone conversations while on machines. It's not a policy that is enforced, so I just find another machine and return later. It sometimes takes a while to repair broken machines. Black tape is used to repair tears in the fabric but doesn't usually last that long. Overall, $10/ month plus their annual fee is a steal.

I've been attending CrossFit Central for the last four months and have had such an awesome…read moreexperience there. This gym is very intense in comparison to other CrossFit gyms I have been to and the workouts reflect that. I am not a beginning so I can't speak to the perspective of someone coming in new but for someone who has been doing CrossFit for many years this was a great experience. The coaches are all very friendly and really take the time to help you work on form and safety during the lift portion of the work out. During the WOD alternative movements are readily available (although not encouraged unless required) which I think is a good approach to make sure people are pushing themselves to get better and improve. The membership is expensive in comparison to some other gyms in the area but I think you really do get what you pay for here and it is very much worth it if you are willing to dedicate the time to go three or more times a week. It's also a huge bonus that they bill weekly rather than monthly so if you are traveling you can take a week off without feeling like you're missing out. I'm sad to have to leave this gym but I am moving across town and so I won't be able to come regularly. Highly recommend to anyone interested or visiting town.

Since ownership changed, programming is more akin to F45 as they seem to be targeting the casual athlete who would have previously been intimidated by Central's intensity.

There is a nice shower amenity. The best thing about TCS is the coaching staff! This place is not a lift as heavy as you can as many times as you can no matter how you do it or what it does to your body. It's a place to learn how to lift correctly, take care of your body, and build the type and amount of muscle that you want to feel strong and healthy. Elliott, Kristina, and Travis are passionate about helping people learn correct technical form to avoid injury, and they are all really good at adjusting workouts to make them work for you even if you have pre-existing injuries. I trust them all to keep me safe at the gym and to teach me new techniques. They make working out fun and interesting. And the music is always on point! The next best thing about TCS is the inviting community. Everyone there is so kind and welcoming. You should definitely check out TCS if you want to learn and get strong! **The location has changed!
