Equinox Austin - Austin, Texas

Jay K.

I love this gym in the heart of Austin, on Congress Ave. The gym is clean and vibey, the changing room feels like a spa, the classes challenged me in a very good way, and bonus: the steam room in unmatched (seriously the best steam room in Austin).

The staff were always friendly to me, and I enjoyed the ambience and thoughtful lighting of the f gym (most gyms have way too bright of lighting).

They validate parking, which is nice if I want to check out some of South Congress without paying ridiculous parking fees.

Conveniently located, great staff, and amazing classes. I’m originally from NY so I’m used to smaller equinoxes. The only thing this location missed out on was a rooftop pool that would have been perfect in Austin. If you’re looking for a trainer ask for Johnny, he’s amazing.

I’ve been a long time equinox member (10+ years) and have seen the company grow into growing areas, like here in Austin! The membership I have allows me to visit around the country and I’ve had the pleasure of visiting multiple states and dozens of equinox clubs. I was visiting Austin for work in April and one of the best parts of my trip was having access here, this is why…

The Austin club has stood out as one of my favorites and I can’t wait to visit again!! The south congress location is next to SoHo house (another must have membership with multi-city privileges) and many trendy restaurants and fun places to walk around to plus a very chill outdoor patio perfect for remote computer work.

The facilities were incredibly clean, which is very typical for equinox clubs… and something the brand prides themselves on, so they get A++ here! No shame admitting I was able to spare packing my shower & body care amenities bc all of their clubs are fully stocked with luxury brand face wash, moisturizer, body wash, body lotion, shampoo and conditioner… so I literally just worked out and showered there every day and that made my traveling life so easy😇 Love that they have a great steam room here too, be sure to grab the cold eucalyptus towels on your way in!

Also the instructors and trainers here are legit!!! The ENERGY in Audreysha’s class is addictive🤩 She’s a top company instructor and this clubs group fitness manager. She has won company awards for being a baddie, so I am dead serious when I say this was such a treat to have her as an instructor and a highlight of my Austin visit🥰 10/10 recommend trying her class.

Eyed some seriously challenging but fun looking privates going on that made me want to book a few privates next time I’m in town, and this club is so spread out with multiple floors so even when it was “busy” it didn’t feel overcrowded.

Also I was a super super fan of the Matcha Mama cafe they have at this club, which had some seriously delicious and good for you smoothies, crave-able avocado toast and they were even offering single serve LivOn Labs Acetyl Carnitine supplements… so my workout game was on point🥹

After I visited, I glanced at some of these poor reviews and wonder about the authenticity🤔 This was an easy 5/5 stars but I’d give them more if I could🖤

I moved 22 miles out and have no vehicle there isn’t a transit that leads to the gym. I call and the manager is always not available. They started hanging up on me to avoid cancellation and are super rude when you walk in. It’s terrible service and a scam. This location claims it is not tied to corporate so what they say goes and my app doesn’t work they don’t care to fix it or to cancel my membership. They basically want me to pay and not even go…. DO NOT SIGN UP HERE !!

I have to give a shout out to Equinox but more importantly my trainer, Noah Fritz, who has been instrumental in helping me reach a personal goal. I have knee issues and Noah put together a comprehensive plan to help me to get to where I need to be for an upcoming family ski trip. He even checked in on me when I was working out on business trips. I can't say enough good things about Noah!

From the walk to & from the gym, the adherence to well appointed equipment, common areas, high level training & a staff that cares about those of us who champion higher standards of living... I'm glad EQUINOX survived the tumult from the lockdowns & is still the kind of organization that, although not perfect, is leagues ahead of the competition. A special thanks to Christina (Sales Manager) for caring enough about the company to share the finer points of membership that I gravitate toward.

Equinox is a nice gym. They have most of the equipment you'd expect from a typical gym albeit missing some of the comforts you'd expect of a luxury gym. Steam room only, no sauna. Nice classes, no pool, no spa. Understandable due to its tight and small location downtown. They made it work. It's worth noting for the past two years they've periodically closed their bathrooms for maintenance due to water leaks in the showers and bathrooms that fill the wall cavities. This continues to leave the steam rooms and bathrooms closed, especially when it is that you decide to want to use them...

I signed up because it was a stones throw from my condo but have since moved and built a home gym. Now I'm upset because they've made it impossible to cancel. It's a joke and they require you to either cancel by certified mail, or by sending an email (hint it doesn't go through) Now I have to resort to other means to cancel my membership. This is illegal. (section 5 FTC, texas health spa regulations) but no one has the time or patience to fix this. My best bet is to warn you:

Only sign up for equinox if you want to be a lifetime member without cancellation at a low-tier under-featured austin equinox location.

New to the area so called to try out the gym….. No day passes…rude. “We can give you a tour but can’t guarantee we will let you have a day pass”
