Equinox Austin - Austin, Texas

Gabrielle

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 am glad I checked out this location. Some of these reviews are quite the stretch, to having 0 basis in reality. From the moment I walked in I was greeted sincerely and warmly from the front desk associate, and was asked what I’m looking for in my next gym membership from the membership director. This location delivered on all fronts. I also noticed there was cleaning staff - on hand the entire duration of the day ( I came twice today just to see the space at different hours ). Not overly packed - clean - and a great atmosphere with plenty of equipment.

Please take the time to consider some of the complaints below - a lot of them have nothing to do with the space and staff - and that’s unfortunate. No Equinox does not cost the same as a planet fitness, but it’s also not the most expensive in town either. It’s actually a phenomenal value if you want a clean, uplifting gym with plenty of equipment and classes.

To add further - I asked what has been done to address the feedback posted here and they have brought in new management who’s been with the company in New York for the last 15 years, and knows the brands standards. Equipment and locker room, steam room are in excellent shape.

Don’t miss out on this location.

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.

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.

I normally work out at equinox in NYC. It’s pretty much the same in Austin. Very clean, new equipment and nice location. Steam room is a plus. I recommend working out here

As a new member of Equinox Gym Austin, I've had a positive experience at this facility. The facility and staff here are on par with the other Equinox gyms I've been to (shout out to Christina G. Sales Manager). I love the classes - the variety offered is fantastic; I've tried a few and have enjoyed the energy and motivation that come from working out with others. After a good workout, it's always a treat to use the amenities Equinox is known for. However, I've come across a few reviews that seem to contradict my own experience at Equinox. Some mention issues with cleanliness or service, which is surprising given the high standards I've observed. It's possible that those negative experiences were isolated incidents, but I can only speak to what I've encountered during my visits. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this gym. Either this or Lifetime.

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.

Haven’t been in this gym but service it disappointed from the beginning. I just wanted to know simple information- PRICE. Scrolled through the website and no info. There is a place to signed up and it says “first month on us”. Thanks guys but maybe make sense to add info how much after 1 month? I end up calling them, the guy picked up the phone and then said that he need to transfer me to the membership department so after listening to the music for 3 minutes I just gave up. I’m new in US but I really don’t get this service. The most basic information as price takes so much effort to find out.
