Anytime Fitness
Reviews
Reposted from Yelp, but I think everything applies here too! :) Listen: no lie, Anytime Fitness changed my life. Here comes a testimonial (cue music) - I had just ended a major relationship, and consequently began a really unhealthy relationship with food as an emotional coping mechanism. I was also mostly sedentary throughout the day (I'm an academic by trade). It would not be hyperbole to guess that I was most likely depressed. Glen, Karl, and the crew at Anytime Fitness truly cared about my ability to meet and achieve the fitness goals I set for myself. Over the course of some training sessions I picked up the right work-out and eating habits, and made a plan for myself. I didn't need the AF crew to hold me accountable to my goals, they helped me to hold myself accountable. This was a major life transformation for me. Glen even joined in for a few pick-up work-outs, and was always greeting/waving goodbye with a smile and a kind word. Because of AF, I'm in great shape, at my ideal weight and size, and feel energized and motivated to do the hard brain-work academia requires. I keep up my activity level (I've gotten into running, which, two years ago I would've told you "but I get shin splints, so I can't really run...")... Truly, I can not say enough about this gym - it is the only gym I have felt totally, 100% comfortable in. Bonus: private changing rooms take away the anxiety of gang locker-rooms and shower situations.
I've been going to this gym for a year and a half and I really love it. The space is large and the equipment is new and in excellent condition. It's got everything you need: free weights, quality weight machines, plenty of cardio machine options, TRX cables, kettle bells. The only person who might be disappointed is a powerlifter but there aren't many gyms around where you can drop massive weights from shoulder height. Even during peak hours I never have any trouble getting my workout in. I like the crowd there, too; always a pleasant vibe and good mix of people. I should also mention Glen, the owner. Great guy, always available for advice and very responsive to feedback.
Great Gym! Awesome variety of free weights and machines to accommodate any workout. Multiple treadmills, ellipticals, and TRX suspension training ropes. Glen always makes sure the gym is clean and the weights are racked properly. Been coming here for almost a year now and have no complaints. Keep up the good work!
Love my friendly, neighborhood gym! Much better than one of those mega-gyms. Also like having Zen's Restaurant right across the parking lot. It's a one-two punch for getting and staying fit.
My friend and I have been trying out various gyms around Austin, and were really impressed with this one. Small, but doesn't look or feel small due to great design and use of space. State of the art strength and cardio equipment and innovative group/class options. Accessible 24 hours, clean private bathrooms with showers. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. You can try it for a week for free and see for yourself!
