Gold's Gym Austin Downtown

I’ve been coming here for four years.Only big box in town with a decent sauna! Cheerful staff.You have to play the timing game due to lack of space.The transient population around the doors has increased over the years. Things like half clothed, sidewalk sleeping, and screaming at nothing on your walk into the gym is common. There doesn’t seem to be an objective protocol in place by staff for solving this issue. Leaving the solution up to people at the front desk, probably not getting paid enough to feel the agency to handle the situations that regularly occur.Overall, the issues are worth it. One can always dream of the perfect combination of equipment, space, security, convenience, and affordability.

It's an amazing space, not to be judged by the sidewalk appearance. It's got space, the best equipment AND, CLEAN.

Fantastic space in DT workouts especially if you’re on your lunch break! Claire is a fantastic trainer and really walked me through a good routine designed just for me and my schedule!

No hot water for months nowEDIT: Can confirm it was fixed after review was left.Edit#2: now there's dogs being bathed in the showers. Cancelled my membership. Can't take it anymore. Absolutely filthy place.

McCay is a trainer with extreme focus and attentive to the needs of his clients. We trained for weeks, it was a fantastic shock to the body, activating muscle fibers that had not been used in a long time. He also implemented a nutrition plan to adhere to the workouts we were doing! I’ve played sports my entire life and I’m always in search of the most intense lifting and cardiovascular challenges, McCays workout routines were those of pro-athletes!!!

Great gym in a great location! They gave me a free training session with Claire Allen. I like to work out by myself usually, but I enjoyed it so much I bought more! Definitely recommend this place

This gym is good especially for its price. It’s got everything you need to get a good workout in and the staff are great. The personal training staff is also great. I’ve been lifting for a few years and have reached a point where I plateau often in the more traditional lifts but after a few workouts with McKay, one the trainers, I’ve PRd multiple times and have been able to make my workouts more fun and beneficial.

Great gym.But the best thing about this gym is one of the trainers, Mackay.I had been working out for a decade but had plateaued in my strength and size. I was getting bored of working out and wondering what the point was until I started working with him. He showed me how to gain size and get stronger by teaching me about nutrition, new exercises but also how to train differently to get results. I've gained 5lbs in 2 months working with him (and if I had followed his nutrition advice more closely it definitely would have been more) and I was only 135lbs to begin with. If you are a skinny guy in Austin looking to get to the next level than Mackay is your guy.

I recently had the privilege of working with an exceptional personal trainer named McKay, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his expertise and dedication to helping me with my strength training goals. McKay's profound knowledge and passion for fitness truly set him apart.From our very first session, McKay demonstrated his exceptional ability to listen attentively and understand my specific needs and aspirations. He took the time to conduct a thorough assessment of my current fitness level, taking into account any past injuries or limitations. This attention to detail allowed him to tailor our workout routines specifically to my body and goals, ensuring a safe and effective training experience.McKay's ability to explain complex exercise techniques in a clear and concise manner was truly remarkable. He has a gift for breaking down intricate movements and explaining them in a way that is easy to understand, making it much easier for me to grasp proper form and technique. I always felt confident and motivated under his guidance, knowing that he was there to support and guide me every step of the way.One of the aspects I appreciated most about working with McKay was his ability to push me beyond my perceived limits. He knew just how to motivate me and encourage me to step outside of my comfort zone, helping me to achieve incredible results that I never thought possible. His positive energy and unwavering belief in my abilities kept me motivated and inspired, even on the toughest days.Moreover, McKay's commitment to my progress extended far beyond our training sessions. He was always available to answer my questions, provide guidance on nutrition, and offer support when I faced any obstacles or setbacks. His genuine care for my overall well-being made me feel like I had a true partner in my fitness journey.Thanks to McKay's exceptional training, I have seen remarkable improvements in my strength and overall fitness level. His dedication to my success, combined with his extensive knowledge and experience, has truly transformed my approach to fitness. I am now more confident and motivated than ever before, and I owe a significant portion of that to McKay.If you are looking for a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend McKay. His expertise in strength training, his ability to motivate, and his unwavering support make him an outstanding professional in the field.

Great gym! Just the cleanest and best equipment that any Golds I’ve been to! Very nice parking options as it’s downtown! Staff is helpful and very glad the location is still open and going strong
