Very personalized personal training, even a plan for when my crazy allergies make it impossible to breath. Completing the workouts was fun and they were over before I realized an hour was up. I have chronic back pain from old injuries and my workouts left me feeling stronger without pain. Please try SOLA Fitness, you will be happy that you did!

Loved every workout at this gym. Great coaches, programming, all stats tracked so youre always making progress forward, and a really fun community :)

Having recently moved to Austin, with no friends or family in the area, it was important for me to find a place where I could get in better shape and meet new friends in the process. Little did I know this place would provide me with everything I was looking for and more. I’ve been working out at this place for about a month and a half and already feel like I’ve found a new family. Given my introverted nature, this was definitely a welcome surprise. Getting in shape was my secondary goal, and I’m already starting to see and feel lots of progress in my physical health as well.Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of meeting at SOLA fitness is down to earth, non-judgmental, and genuinely cares about seeing you succeed based on your goals. If you are new to CrossFit like I was and aren’t familiar with all the movements, the coaching staff here will be there to help you every step of the way. While I am a big fan of all of the coaches here at SOLA fitness, I’d like to give a special shout-out to CJ who has went above and beyond to make me feel at home here.If you are looking to join a friendly community and want to take your overall health to the next level, I strongly suggest giving SOLA fitness a try. You won’t regret it.

I was so nervous about starting at CrossFit, but the SOLA team quickly made those worries disappear. The atmosphere is incredibly inclusive, the coaches and other athletes are so supportive, and the workouts are so challenging in the best of ways! The staff takes COVID precautions very seriously and are committed to athlete safety and health. If youre thinking of starting, dont hesitate, SOLA is a great place to begin.

Was looking to try out some CrossFit style training while staying in Austin for a month and a half and after taking a look at a few other gyms in the area, my husband and I knew SOLA was the place for us! The coaches are patient and encouraging, they really want to make sure you grow your skills with the right form.We loved every single coach, Dave, CJ, Waleed, Rudy. Jess was really great to work with also, making sure we had everything we needed. You really cant beat the energy here. The members were welcoming and even helpful when they could see we needed some guidance on anything from which weight to choose to where to find good eats around town.Its the perfect balance of making sure youre comfortable with the movements and a challenging/competitive environment. 100% recommend and cant wait to come back!P.S. especially good w/ COVID protocols and regular gym hygiene in general, far better than most other gyms weve seen.

I fall into the camp of did literally nothing during the pandemic and a year later I had an extra 30 pounds to show for it. I tried the working out at home by myself routine but I found myself just making excuses and perpetuating the cycle I was used to for the last year. I knew I needed to put myself out there and actually attend classes in order to see results. I had already heard great things about SOLA Fitness when they were CrossFit affiliated, so I did a little digging on FB, IG and Google and it looked super positive.I’ve officially been attending classes 3x a week for a couple of weeks now and all I can say is this is the BEST decision I’ve made in the past year! First let’s talk facilities – super clean, I mean really clean (for those of you that have done CF at other gyms you know that this is a big deal). Class sizes are restricted to 14 people and all of us are social distanced within our own little taped off area complete with everything we need that day for the WOD. Next is the owners/coaches – the gym is owned by a husband/wife team and they are like the “dream team” – both are really down to earth and super easy to talk to. Joining a new gym can be so intimidating and I really think Jess and Dave do a great job of getting know their members and their specific goals. You realize really quickly that both know what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up.The overall gym vibe is super laid back and it’s not like some gyms where you are stepping into a fog of testosterone (aka Bro Down). Don’t get me wrong – people are serious here about their fitness and when the workout starts it’s all business; but they smile, they laugh and they are genuinely happy to be here. I consider myself to be a little socially awkward and introverted in group settings but everything about this place is inclusive and positive – that’s a win in my book.If you are on the fence about joining a gym or feeling stuck from the past year, don’t hesitate to check this place out. I have no regrets other than wishing I had done this sooner!

The modern gym had burned me out. Working out solo. Feeling like a robot. Just about everyone wearing ear buds or toying with their phone. No community as in mere friendliness. Plus monitors, TVs, music, antiseptic AC. What to do?Being a truth teller, I must admit: I was a little intimidated when I first observed a Sola workout. The weights looked huge (only to later discover theyre lighter than they look) and the workouts intense. Meaning focused, sweating, pushing limits.Six months past, Im all in. The trainers are top-notch, the workouts varied, and the open-air facility safe and outdoor refreshing. Theres genuine camaraderie among members and felt welcome from day one. First few months, and to this day, more experienced members recognize my efforts after a workout with a sincere way to go. That simple prompt means a lot.Jess, a co-owner with her spouse, Dave, a trainer and experienced athletic coach. She answered all my questions while Dave worked with me one-on-one for a few sessions on form, posture, safety, and kept a close eye as I began. That a training orientation is required of all new members speaks volumes. It also feels great to support a local venture, not some corporate giant with long contracts and hidden fees.After the first few weeks, I soon realized its all about my personal edge, not comparing myself to others. Your limits and aspirations, and supporting others in theirs. Youll find ages young, mid, and older. I love the varied cross-fit aerobic, weight, stretching, and more, approach. They recently added a mini gym area, so workouts can be augmented by traditional weight lifting. Love the wood deck.Sola classes are 60 fast-paced minutes. No time to be stuck in the head. Its the most productive hour of my day. Classes are small -- 12 or so -- and run from early morning to early evening. The workout area is sectioned off into zones, and the Manhattan-beach, open-door, open-air layout, plus fans as large as windmills, is refreshing given Austins temperate climate. For anyone with Covid concerns, this is a big plus.The monthly fee is more than a run-of-the-mill gym -- but not when a personal trainer once or twice a month is factored into the equation, which is a fair comparison considering the personal attention and small class size.

The workouts are always great and really push your cardio and muscular endurance. Additionally, the classes are always exciting and fun.

They’ve done a wonderful job keeping the facility clean during COVID-19 and the workouts are designed to keep everyone socially distanced.

For me it’s the best Crossfit gym in Austin. The box couldn’t be more complete, the classes are super dynamic concentrating on conditioning, strength and cardio. The coaches are great and the Community is awesome. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about why I love SOLA! It was my first time joining crossfit gym and I am SO GLAD I chose SOLA! Jess and Dave (the owners) create such a positive environment and the coaches and other members make you feel welcomed on day 1. I love and missed the people so much that I rejoined despite having moved to north austin. Awesome community and COVID SAFE! Love SOLA!

My new life group home! Trey Steele I thank God for you and your friendship! The sit ups kicked my butt last week. Cant wait to see what the future has in store for this community!

Dave is awesome, facility is awesome, and programming is awesome. I highly recommend it!

Came in from out of town for a drop in class. Great staff great facility!

All the trainers are so professional, welcoming and very encouraging. I love this place. I always leave feeling so good and ready and look forward to my next time. Thank you for all you do.

Quite possibly the worst managed gym Ive been a part of. The owners seem to forget that there are literally 23 other fitness facilities on South Lamar alone. The reason people go to a specific location is for the sense of community and coaching relationships. The ownership is incredibly good at constantly making changes that deter that aspect. Huge thumbs down!

Dropped in while in town for work. Nice box; clean and well-laid out with plenty of room. Zach is a great coach - leading and explaining mobility exercises, focusing on key motions in the metcon and motivating the class during the 20 minute workout (yeah, it was one of those!). He also made it a point to make me feel welcome - as did the class.

I scheduled a class here and was unable to attend for personal reasons. Jess called and was extremely kind to me and went the extra mile to make sure I was okay. She went on to follow up with me regarding the incident. They care beyond making money. Amazing team. Especially Jess.

Dropped in on the 530 class. It was nice to see a lot of people there that early. Dave and Taylor (coaches) were very welcoming. Great facility. They definitely work you too. Will definitely drop in again when I am back in town.

Really well run box. Good workouts, instructors pay attention to form so you dont hurt yourself. Lots of accommodations for all levels.

A handful of friends and I have been dropping in here since 2014. Every time we visit Austin this becomes our home gym. Everyone is so welcoming! Ben coaches the Stak class and he’s awesome!Tim has an awesome OLY set up in the back! Such a great addition to a gym!

LOVE this box! Coaches are friendly and knowledgeable, the gym is spotless and full of great equipment, and the community rocks. Great place to workout and grow as an athlete in Austin. Cant say enough good things about this spot!

I came by for a noon class while in town for work. The place was very spacious with easy parking and the coach and other members were very welcoming. Worth a stop by when in the area.

This gym follows nc.fit programming, which was formerly CrossFit. They offer 60 minute HIIT exercise classes that feature a mix of barbell + cardio + mobility training. Its excellent. Great coaches; nice, clean, comfortable space.

Ive been a member for just over a year and really enjoy the box. Great coaches, good community and nice variety of programming. Traditional CrossFit, Sweat provides a cardio focus and Raww Barbell for traditional power lifting. Really has something for everyone.

Its a really great crew there. Great coaches, great atmosphere. Their workouts are HARD, but their coaching gets you through them. Lot of equipment, and a lot to do there.

In the best shape of my life and surrounded by the best Crossfit community in the 04. Come sweat. Leave accomplished. Live better.

Good location with knowledgeable coaches. Clean, good training environment. Nice facilities.

The coaches at CF SoLa are awesome! Not only do they have great programming that will kick you butt, they also work on intensive pre-hab. The community is great and everyone is welcoming. If you are visiting for the first time you’ll have a blast and make some new friends in the great city of Austin!

Awesome fitness box

A must visit establishment. Look no further.We dropped in from Fort Worth, Texas and immediately felt like we were members at Crossfit South Lamar.Zach was an awesome coach. Not only was he knowledgeable in his programming, but he fully prepared every level of athlete for the workout with properly mobility and movement prep.A huge THANK YOU to everyone at Crossfit South Lamar for making us feel like part of your Crossfit family.We will be back.

Great coaches with good functional exercise equipment

Best CrossFit in Austin! Super nice Coaches and great place to train.

Crossfit SoLa is the best! Wonderful coaches, great community, and the workouts are incredible. Highly recommended! :)

The best gym in Austin! Where do I start? I came from an amazing gym so my standards were high from the start. Why? Because Crossfit is very expensive, if youre going to charge that much it better be worth it. From the start the owners, David Appel and Marcos Cordova, were extremely inviting and helpful. The atmosphere was great and the people were even better. Great sound system and super clean equipment! The trainers are very knowledgeable and uplifting, but one in particular, James Quigley! This man is a game changer, full of positivity and accountablity. I cant say enough good things about him, hes about growth, education and overall life improvement! Keep it up James.

There are some very very talented trainers here. I visited this crossfit from abroad and yeah its got a gas station esq vibe to it but the trainers know thier *explicitive*. Good workout with good people.

Love the coaches and the community.

Best gym in town!

Sweet spot
