xpost: Recommend your gym in central/north austin?

Cross posting from the baby board...

Hi there! So, yes, I will be one of those annoying people that join a gym right at the new year (sorry, but it has to be done!) What gym do you belong to? Do you recommend? I belonged to Pure Austin (quarry lake) a few years ago, and I loved it, but it was pricey.

Love to hear your thoughts on your gym and if you recommend. A plus is a place with more off hour classes (i.e ones that start later at night - can't make a class before 7:30pm with the little one, and DH working so late these days...)

TIA!

  • I used to take classes at Castle Hill Fitness, and loved it.  I'm not sure what their current class schedules are like, but I know they used to have several 7pm choices.
  • i like the 24 hour fitness.
  • I like Pure!

    They have a downtown and a north location and you can go to both. I also like that they have a pool.

  • I go to 24 hr. It's a definite change from Pure Austin.  I worked there in collage and then at a similarly nice gym in grad school. When I had to start paying for it I decided not to continue.

    Pluses for 24 hr:

    You can get a two year membership for $300 right now at Costco. I think that's $12.50 a month.

    You can then go to any of them, which is nice here since I go to the one on Parmer and the one by the Arboretum, but also handy when in Dallas and Houston visiting family.

    There is a wide variety of classes and you can see them all online easily.

    Minuses:

    They are a little crowded.

    The classes aren't always the best time for me.

    If you join, let me know, I would love a workout partner once in a while!
