One of the best gyms there is in the Austin & surrounding areas. New management is great, love the layout of the gym and the environment is like no other. If you’re serious about training and hitting goals this is the place to be.
Missing the mark to be a great gym. The no AC think would be fine if there was proper ventilation and circulation but there isn’t. Random dirty fans is all there is. The worst part is trying to workout before work. They put some lipstick on the pig with a minimal makeover. But despite the fact that there’s no hot water in the shower it was impossible to cool off enough to get dressed. Circulating air, Hot water and AC in the dressing rooms should be a minimal expectation.
One of the best gyms I have ever been too! Clean and well organized. Very professional management and staff which make for a very welcoming environment for my friends and I. Would highly recommend for any locals or visitors to experience this gym
This is one of the best real gyms in Austin, TX. their equipment in unmatched. It is a very serious training facility for serious athletes. They also have an incredible Sports Therapist (Body Rebuilder) in the gym. If you havent checked this gym out yet I very much recommend it.
Been going to HOG since day 1! Been a member for little over a year now. Its a HARDCORE gym! Thats one of the greatest things about the gym. No a/c, equipment with time on it, huge/in shape people that will motivate you, the list goes on. If you are looking for space, great equipment, and great vibes, HOG is the answer!
I was told it was a month to month membership cancel anytime, well its not. You can cancel anytime but pay out the year contract so I was shocked when I was told I signed a year contract. I started to work out and found out on my own no air condition considering covid is still around no air circulation or adequate sanitation stations, broken elliptical machines three in fact. All the bench presses were miss matched and weights of all brands and sizes scattered around. The worst was when I used the toilet and the seat slid out from under me it was completely broken off. I would seriously consider a alternative gym that practices sanitary routines.I really enjoy working out and have for a long time but the truth is the truth you make your intellectual decision.
My favorite gym ever. Great atmosphere, lots of equipment and great vibes.
I personally love HOG. Everyone is great and the equipment is always working for me. Its raw and its the best charm about it, no a/c going during the summer and you get a nice sweat. Only minor complaint would be having more plates available at times when everyone is lifting heavy.
Just popped in and it was a very nice facility and very clean
Great variety of weights and machines.It has your typical juice heads and a mix of normal people. Some of the weights in the back right side need to be upgraded. Staff is good. Music can get repetitive, the lack of climate control is a good feature.
Honestly the best gym I have ever been to. Staff/management/community are amazing.
I don’t understand why this place is so popular, the whole gym was dirty and crowded. 10/10 would not recommend. I’ve been to a lot of gyms this is just poor management.
Incredible amount of equipment. They even have specialized Strongman training equipment such as a yoke rack, Atlas stones and a Rogue Log for log pressing.
Good gym with great hours. As with corporate gyms, they do not make it easy to cancel. Be prepared to jump through hoops if you ever want to get out of your contract. It shouldn’t be this difficult to move on.
Awesome place for real sweat and tears passionate hard core workouts and training! Semper Fi!
Great gym in nearly every aspect but good luck finding a dumbell when you need it
My husband and I came down to Austin and stopped in for a day pass. Awesome gym I wish we had this gym where we live!
Dont waste your money coming here. Me and my old gym partner have been getting charged by house of gains months after we cancelled our memberships. The owner and management were of no help, the only thing they did was scream at us, saying how it was our own fault that they were taking money from us. Please do not waste your time with this gym, you are better off taking your money somewhere else.
A dynamite gym to train at regardless of your training discipline. House of Gainz has an old school intense environment with hip hop and assorted other music blasting constantly. A gym where you can go from ordinary to great along with becoming a strong badass person. I love this gym.
Great atmosphere, amazing selection of supplements, awesome merch, unique machines that give next level pumps, tons of free weights, lots of free space and very friendly front desk staff when ive gone on weekday afternoons. I will continue to make the 30 minute trip from austin. Recommending to all of my friends and family
The actual Gym itself, is pretty great. All the equipment you could want. The real issue is the community. Very cliquey and made my gym partner and I feel very unwelcomed.
Super friendly, meathead gym. Very good environment for getting fit and staying fit. Pretty much any workout equipment you could need is there. They even have a 40yrd strip of turf, with power sleds and tires. Lots of new equipment. Dumbbells up to 200lbs, powerlifting platforms for freebar work. And plus. Its priced super affordably
Id like to see the employees enforce the cleaning and put away rule. I know its not possible to make everyone do that but maybe refresh cleanliness as people walk in? Im doing double duty when I workout.....
Love the gym, vibe and atmosphere. For only $20 a month?! Cant beat that
This is by far the best gym that I have ever used! Loads of equipment so youll never get bored! The staff has always been super friendly and welcoming. When the people speak the owners listen and do their best to accommodate!
Half a Star rating - no real estate community
Best hard core gym in central Texas. Large selection of free weights and machines. No AC or heating, you will train hard and see results.
Decent selection of equipment, but there are many dumbbells missing in the second free weight area that I prefer since theres some air circulation there. Many sections of the gym are unbearable given the how hot the gym is. Yes, Im glad its open given the state of covid, but some air conditioning would be nice given the hundred plus degree temps in Texas right now. Bring a lot to drink. You are going to need it.
Never coming to this gym ever again. The bathroom stinks and the staff is horrible. Also, by reading the other reviews, house of gains are easily triggered by constructive criticism. Very unprofessional.
Lots of machines and equipment. The weights are kinda scattered everywhere.
Cool gym. Close to home. The people watching is good. Some folks in there are very into their reflection in the mirror 😁
When i put in cancellation, I asked about canceling my policy without extra charges and was told to just fill out the cancellation form and I’ll have to pay my final month of $21.65. Then I’m charged that along with $60 for “club enhancement fee”. They are scandalous, don’t follow any Covid guidelines regarding 6ft along with poor management.
New ownership and staff need customer service training. Terrible
I didnt cancel my membership, I opted not to renew my 12 MONTH MEMBERSHIP! I was told when signing up to let you guys now if I didnt want to renew it, which I did - When I called last week, a young lady on the phone said that it wasnt due to renew until November 15 so in order not to be charged another fee to come in before October 15 (I signed up October 15 last year) to sign a waiver, which I did.Yesterday, all I got was half threats, if I didnt pay an extra 21 dollars to cancel my membership (didnt want to renew it) it would renew and if not paid, it would be sent to collections for another years memebership. I never gave 30 days notice? If its due to renew on November 15, I believe I did.Bad business, bad communication, other things I could say but probably not appropriate for this thread. Better business bureau will be notified.
Great Private owned gym. Ive been going for over a year now, and this is the best gym Ive ever been to. I recommend it to everyone. New equipment is added regularly. Staff is nice and helpful. No A/C only fans, this helps you get a great sweat in every workout. Most importantly, a great community. Ive made lots of new friends by just hanging around the gym and working out.
I do enjoy this gym I just wish with covid going on they were a bit more strict about people cleaning there equipment. Multiple people I watched just walk away and not clean just gross.
Great gym for all fitness levels.
Best gym I have ever belonged to. The price can not be beaten. In two years I never waited to use equipment. The atmosphere and culture is perfect for people who just want to get better.
Awesome gritty old school bodybuilding gym
I asked the cashier why he wasn’t wearing his mask and he screamed at me. Also asked why My sons being charged 3 months late and he told me it was my sons fault. Thanks hogs for ruining my sons credit.
Great place to working out !
This gym is my home away from home
I am pregnant during COVID, I lost my job so am one of those unlucky ones. I begged to get out of my contract because i dont want to chance my baby getting COVID. They refused and were extremely rude about it. The management needs to understand that the customer comes first and not smart talk me, especially in an email. RUDE, NOT WORTH IT, PLANET FITNESS IS BETTER.
Hands down the best gym i been to. I been to alot of gyms over the years but this one gives allnthe type of excercises i needs with the hest prices. Friendly staff, clean gym. Real lifters. 5 stars!
I wish Id never set foot into this gym. Why? Because I live 2 hours from it. Dont expect bougie restrooms or pristine painted walls. Expect a real gym! Expect machines youve never seen before and stuff you have and can only wish they had at golds gym. I cant lie I played on the tiered level monkey bars in the back. Along with that, ropes, squat racks and not to forget a lying down smith press. Good music, positive vibes and a HOG as their logo. (Husbands from AR) Thanks for allowing us to visit at the NPC workshop! Yall are great!
Not a bad gym but service is awful and their “policy” is broken. I canceled my membership only for them to continue to charge me without notice and then said I had to pay them $136 to cancel my membership. Not a good time.
This gym is a gym above all others. Georgetown has never seen a facility like this. The atmosphere is amazing. You can’t help but push yourself to the limits while inside. The staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable of the products they provide. Owners are great and definitely put the customer first. They are always having event and appearances of major popular figures in the fitness world. Every trainer you see in the building is willing to help and give you advice on diet and techniques.
Don’t bring your kids here. Zero covid guidelines. Memberships are scams. Although I like how no one wears a mask. You’ll get yelled at if you have an issue
Everyone complains about the AC, but honestly why go to a gym if you’re not going to sweat? Go to Planet instead. Gym could use some updated equipment but it’s not meant to be a Golds or 24 Hour. Even though I’m not a super muscular guy, everyone here is super encouraging and motivating to help me reach my goals. Might see a bunch of extremely ripped people, do not be discouraged, they started where you are and are usually more than willing to answer any questions you might have.
Love the gym...sure wish they had ac. Get there early to beat the heat
Awsome gym with great people and extended hours!
The owner is refusing to refund me the month of March. My son left the state due to an illness. Even though I went before March to handle my account the front office was unable to make their computer work. I have been at home due to the situation we are all dealing with. All I’m asking for for is 60 dollars and they are refusing. I’m not asking them to give me credit for any prior months.During this time you would think they would be willing to help their community out. It’sunfortunate.
The most BAD TO THE BONE gym around! Work causes me to travel all around the country and world for that matter. And from Hillsboro Oregon to Dublin Ireland I get to see all kinds of gyms. People probably get tired of me talking about my home gym House of Gainz! I make sure any time they are near the Austin area or Texas for that matter to go to the best gym around! HOG Is the real deal from the machines you don’t see at other places to the outstanding staff! This place has truly earned the title as the MECA OF THE SOUTH! And for those who complain about it being to hot during the summer... you probably need to sweat it out. Lord knows I do!
It seems like pig of gains doesn’t care about coronavirus, since no one wears a mask.
Talk to Lia at the front desk and shell take care of you with a membership.
Great gym! Talk about old iron, this gym has everything you need for any type of workout. I love this gym
An great gym. To get what your seeking. Gainz
I have been going here for a year now. This gym has almost everything you could want in a gym. The staff were always friendly. The rates are good for what you get. They recently installed a strip of turf track in the back which is nice for some more movements. They also have a ladies only area and a stretching area. My only complaint is that the music can sometimes be too loud.
Awesome Gym! very affordable! well kept up! staff is amazing, very helpful and the trainers are the best around! Very fun to work with and great results. Gym always has good clean music playing to keep you pumped up the whole time youre working out! Would recommend anyone looking for a good gym to workout at! its well kept up and clean and the environment is fantastic. never felt shamed or discriminated against when i started out! people are very welcoming and awesome crowd. They have everything you could need in a gym, Crossfit, every weight and machine you can imagine!
Great gym and a great environment to be in, at an amazing price. All staff is welcoming and willing to assist in any way. Vast variety of equipment, tailored towards all workout types and wide selection of free weights, so that there is no wait for weights.
Its hot. Its Big. Its badass. Its the best.
So I worked out at this gym for over a year. Got all of my family members to sign up and then trained them at this gym. From the very beginning I was harassed by the owners saying that if you train people at this gym there is a 500 dollar fee. I explained multiple times that Im not training anyone for money these are simply my family members. They cancelled my contract and banned me from the gym without so much as even having a conversation with me. Everything was handled through the employees and never by the owners. I reached out to the owners several times to explain the situation but they never responded and kept the ban in place.
I was thinking about looking into this gym and Im glad I did some research and some math. Their website gives the membership prices which I always like to look at. Their 12 month contract has you paying $25 per month plus a $60 annual fee. Which sounds good but when I looked at their non-contract membership, you pay $220 for a 12 month membership without the fee. After doing the math, doing the contract, you end up paying $360 per year (including the fee). I will say though, their gym looks really nice and they seem to have good equipment! Punching bags, several stair climbers, good weight machines and all thag. Id just say be mindful of the pricing if you plan on using this gym. Just a heads up to everyone! :)
Don’t sign up if you don’t like working out in 90 plus degree temps! No a/c in the place. Also you are locked into a one year contract that they won’t let you out of without paying all the remaining! Oh and don’t forget the upkeep fees! Like an additional $100 almost I was charged! Not worth it. Equipment is alright and atmosphere isn’t bad, only reason this is a two star instead of one.
Good equipment but men’s room needs upgrading. During weekday mornings no place to change or store possessions. Needs another bench and more lockers.
This gym doesn’t care about Covid-19 guidelines at all. Every other gym I go to, I see everyone wearing a face mask. House of gains is a joke.
This is a real gym not like all the other ones out there. Its definitely worth a try.
Pretty sweet gym. Big, good equipment etc. But it is always super dirty and it felt unsanitary. They also suck every penny they can out of you without proper communication through out the membership and when signing up in the first place. I’m a PT myself so I know what a good reputable gym should be and I felt very much taken advantage of as a customer for a year. I won’t be going back.
This place needs hella upgrades it’s been the same since 2016 everything in there feels old even some of the dumbbells are broken or won’t have the weight label on it equipment all over the place I’m always walking around looking for what I need I feel like if the stuff all over the place staff should organize it right back. Good atmosphere tho
Reminds me of old school gyms . No fluff, just serious work out atmosphere
Great place for both serious, moderate, and beginner lifters. Im only here for 3 days but if I lived within a 20 mile radius of this gym I would sacrifice that time to go here. The hours are great and so is the equipment. Keep it up
Im guilty. Guilty of straying away from my training...often. Yes, this gym has great music, the BEST equipment and even better trainers. Still, Ive strayed. However, since the event of Harvey, the owners Derek and Victor and their team including: Carl, Ryan,Tait, Isaac, Ben P., Lorenzo and others cooperated with the city of Georgetown employees to personally save approximately 50 lives, hundreds of animals, send an 18-wheeler of supplies, AND make a large donation. This BEST describes the positive atmosphere at their gym. What did YOUR gym do?? For their generosity, these guys have my loyalty, my renewed commitment and even greater respect. God bless each of them and all who were effected by Hurricane Harvey.
Great place to get all of the best Supplements out there today!
It’s best gym you’re gonna find. It’s ridiculously cheap, it has the best atmosphere, best trainers, and every piece of equipment you could think of. The staff is always helpful, and the owners are always open to hear any suggestions or concerns. It has EVERYTHING from cardio equipment, free weights, machines, CrossFit equipment, a dry sauna, supplements, and gear. I wouldn’t trade this place for any other gym.
Legit gym, I purchase day passes every once in a while since it’s too far to become an actual member.I enjoy everything from the unique equipment, loud music, hot as hell atmosphere and to the open space.Good job guys!
Great lifter gym with lots of equipment. Just what I was hoping for.
Huge gym with everything from treadmills to free weights to boxing to cross fit and more. Good music to keep you amped. Great atmosphere. Love this place.
GREAT GYM loved it! But there’s this guy that farts and makes the whole place stink so bad we had to leave every time he would show up): other than him it was great and no judgement
I enjoy the new equipment they put in this gym. They stay up to date. I do training 3 times a week with a trainer and the other days on my own. I just feel like for as hot as Texas is this gym should spend its money on AC. There are days where it’s 104 outside, and I know I’m dreading coming in to workout, and we all know those fans don’t do much.. besides spread hot air around. Inside most days it’s hotter than it it outside and at night they leave the doors open and I get misquitto bites when I work out (true story lol. This place is a get work done and workout hard kinda gym mentality. If your gonna be on your phone in between sets and not take the gym seriously this prob ain’t the gym for you. Love the atmosphere.
Best gym around, finally a real gym. Lot of great equipment, great for power lifting, body building and cross fit type workouts. Great atmosphere people are training hard.
Best gym I have ever been to! No doubt. Wide variety of equipment and a great no bull attitude.
Great gym if youre serious about training. Lots of options and motivation.
Wish the owners cared about the guest who pay for the membership. For a small business owner you should take pride in your guest. Not be disrespectful. Never going back.
One of if not THE top gyms in georgetown round rock area. Lots of equipment and its right next to the scenic hike and bike trail.
One of the best gyms I ever stepped foot in. Wide variety of equipment for every muscle group. And the atmosphere is awesome.
Bad ass gym with great atmosphere. Was from out of town and the week pass was cheap compared to other gyms like Golds. Will def be coming back when in the area again
Badass Gym. Not a social club.
Hands down the Best gym in Georgetown. This is what a real gym is like. Its huge and there are fans with no AC which is actually much better. It has plenty of airflow and you will sweat your ass off. Its great.
Great place to workout. Lots of equipment. I really like going to this gym.
Awesome place to work out. Not the most inviting place. I would like it if the employees were a little more welcoming and friendly.
Great environment!This gym has just about everything youll need for any level training. The cost compared to a lot of other gyms around is quite affordable! AND they have heavy bags for some cardio/frustration release >:)
Its a great gym if you like rap music blasting so loud you can hear it over your own headphones and meatheads.I switched to a Golds Gym further south and am much happier.
Great no thrills gym, unless you consider gains as a thrill. Then there are lots of thrills.
