Been going to American Fitness for close to six years. I had tried other fitness locations in town but the bigger attraction was the variety of free weight and nautilus equipment, the incredibly warm staff, a very personable owner who is on the premises quite often and of course, the hot sauna! Ive yet to even hear of any other location within this town that has a dry sauna. People want dry saunas. I LIKE dry saunas! Whats wrong with liking dry saunas?! To top it all off, its open 24/7 most days. And, the small monthly fee is very reasonable. Plenty parking.
The staff makes this place feel better than just a gym. Everyone at the front desk is encouraging and feels like a friend after just a few visits. They are willing to help you become a better you and it is rare you can buy get to the machines or weights you want.
Gym staff member accused me of stealing, had me empty my pockets! Didnt even apologize and had no reason to think I took anything! Definitely wont be going back!
I’ve been here over 7 years. If you want to lift heavy, you can. If you want to do all cardio, you can. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but there’s a lot on the inside. Hours are great and they have someone cleaning constantly. The new ownership/management strives to keep the equipment up to date and maintained well.
Its good place n so clean one Thu ten I give it ten
Always welcoming to just walk in and get to business! Judgement free zone! I started my journey there and will continue to! Such a variety of weights and machines.
Clean gym and very friendly and helpful staff.
Was an excellent gym years ago. I moved out of town for a bit and come back to another basic fitness center. Any of the real knowledgeable lifters/trainers have been replaced by wannabe bodybuilders who look to barely train. I wonder what happened. Perhaps new ownership.
We would not have any other gym! We love this place!
Great people. Great equipment.
Great place ton of people there this trip.
Best gym anywhere around.
I love this place. It has that old school mussel feel to it. Real “ Iron “ feel. Where people go to lift! Not like other chain gyms that have a lot of S&M you know get a quick pump and “stand and model”” for the gram” ugh 😑
Literally the only place to lift in NB
I was a member of American fitness for years before I moved out of state. I recently visited and went to American fitness to get in a workout while visiting and have never been treated so poorly. The older employee Renae told me I would have fo purchase a month membership @ $50 to workout for a hour at which point I headed to strenthbuilt to train. I will never go back to American fitness again after witnessing the rudest unprofessional experience I have ever had.
Best gym I have EVER been to! I went to American fitness for about 4 months and it was exactly what I was looking for. The front desk people actually get to know you and are really nice. When you sign up you get one free smoothie and a one free personal training session (1hr long). They have multiple group classes if youre into that. However I really enjoyed the amount of free weight equipment they had they and rarely had to wait to use anything even at peak hours. This gym is 24hrs on week days and closes at 6pm on weekends.
It’s a good gym. A little confusing to navigate if you’re new. I just wish they had more leg and ab machines. It’s really geared towards lifters. It’s good though.
I love this place. Can you please open one up in San Marcos. This gym is better than any gym here.
Still cannot seem to find out who is in charge, the staff is rude and keeps giving me the run-around. They double charged me twice for dues and training sessions, so I put my account on hold and for some reason they charged me another hundred dollars??!!??All I want to do is get my money back and move on. This is absurd.
I’ve been training for about 1 month, and it’s been a great experience, my personal trainer Octavio Barba makes sure that I do my exercising the right way throughout the whole routine, he’s patient and his experience and knowledge helps a lot on my way of becoming a stronger and healthy person :)The gym provides all the equipment that you’ll ever need, and it’s open 24/7!
I have gone to American Fitness for about 10 years and I cannot imagine going to any other gym! Every single thing about this gym screams AWESOME!! From the multiple rooms with EVERY single piece of equipment you could imagine or ever need, to the wonderful/personable staff always talking to every person that walks in the door, to the flexible long hours of operation. I am usually at the gym 4-6 Days a week and look forward to going every time. The Staff/Owner are always striving to better the gym and satisfy all of their members wants and needs. No matter what time of day you go in there, everyone of the members and employees are having fun together. I have built amazing friendships and met the coolest people in this gym. I will never be a member of another gym. American Fitness is my HOME!
Bad to the bone
Great place to workout! Everyone is friendly and it is kept clean. Also love my fitness trainer Nicole Sanchez
Been going here since highschool. I love the staff and members who all share motivation and inspiration that you wont find at Planet fitness.Much friendlier than Golds.Great showers too!
Used to be great gym....had everything for ALL types of lifters. But the owners have gradually become shifting to crossfit, body building type of lifters. He used to have accommodations for those that like to lift heavy weight, not so much anymore. Feels like he trying to squeeze that community of lifters out. Such a shame. Slowly getting rid of good equipment for just all nautilus equipment which isnt lifter friendly. Those that have experience lifting KNOW the difference. If it wasnt for daycare, would have to get another gym.
Best gym Ive ever been to. It has all the bars, dumbbells, machines, squat racks & benches youll ever need (and then some). Seriously, its low monthly membership fee even includes classes like Les Mills body pump & yoga! A bunch of different cardio equipment, and a cross-training room with kettle bells, rowers, and plenty of room for calisthenics. Cool, friendly owner, atmosphere & members.
I love this gym. Its so convenient and has all the things a need and want out if a gym. I work out 5-6 times a week. I can do just about anything except swim there (no pool, no biggie). They have the cardio section, assisted machines, single weights, an activity room . its awesome
Waste of time. Rude staff Sunday morning. Doesn’t honor things they say they will do. Will be taking my money and my families money elsewhere.
Here is a real gym that offers multiple high end brands of fitness equipment to work every possible muscle plus all the classic free weight and Hammer Strength machines for the no-nonsense hit it hard individual. This fitness center is spacious, modern and clean with a client base around 18 to 40 who seem committed to their workout. The environment and the background music in case you forget your ear plugs is, excellent! Did I mention the value for this enormous space and fantastic equipment options as well as the multiple group classes from yoga to zumba. I am shocked that this place isnt part of a national chain because this is how you do it1 5 Stars for this place.
Best gym in town with affordable prices and a non-corporate feel. They cater to the individual and dont lock you in to expensive, no-opt-out contracts. Definitely try their free week pass through their website and you wont regret it!
Chris Martinez comment almost kept me from going! Glad I decided to stop by and check it out! They have six squat racks four benches two incline and a section dedicated for at least three dead lift bars. I could see his point as far maybe the quantity of plates, if everyone was deadlifting at the same time. But overall great gym for lifters! A+++ plus they keep their day passes at a super reasonable price ! And cant beat a quick sana after a workout
Ive been going to this gym for over a year. I love the it compared to typical chain gyms. Sometimes a bit busy in the evenings on a weekday but I always end up with a good workout on any machine I want.
Helpful staff members
I workout at this gym when I am home visiting family. The gym is awesome and very authentic for what a gym should be. It has plenty of equipment and the environment of the facility is friendly. I would choose working out at this gym as my main gym if they had one in Houston. I would workout at this gym over any corporate gym (Planet Fitness, Golds, etc.) because it is a REAL gym. Not one of these gyms where people get a good workout, but they dont sweat, cry, or make an occasional noise when lifting. If you want to get a great workout and be surrounded by people who also care about their fitness, this is the place to go.
Im pretty sure they are growing a science experiment on the ceiling and wall fans, please dont turn them on until you clean them!
I love this Gym so much! Everyone that works here and works out here is so friendly! They have done a lot of remodeling and added a lot of new things. And all of the classes rock! I will always go here!
Love this gym! The atmosphere is great and they make it possible for a mother of 2 to workout. Their daycare is great as well!
I love the staff, very friendly and knowledgeable. The Zumba classes are a blast! Its such a large facility loaded with a variety of equipment to facilitate any of your workout needs and clean too.
Best gym in town!! Awesome equipment, great atmosphere, good music! Great amenities like tanning, sauna, child care, classes and so forth. This is the gym to go to!!
Love this place. They are always making continuous improvements to make this the best gym in town.
Best gym Ive ever been to. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. You couldnt get me to go anywhere else
Everyone is treated equally here .Love this Place. I have been working out here for last 5 years. this place has commercial graded equipments! this place has more machines than any other place in town.
I had to find a gym because my hotels fitness center was out of service. I called them and they offered me a day pass for ony $5! I went in on a Thursday night at around 10:00pm and there were only about 5 other people there. There was plenty of equipment available.The equipment was very adequate. There were tons of free weights and all the other devices/stations that one would need to get a complete workout in.The staff was great as well. I felt as they treated me as I signing up for a membership even though I was only there for a day.
This gym is home away from home. I love this gym. That is all.
Been going to American Fitness for about 3 years. Great place with a friendly staff and clientele that give it a home feeling. Something for everyone. Old working out with young. Whether you are a beginning lifter, seasoned power lifter, bodybuilder, or if you want just want to come for the array of fitness classes like Zumba or Body Pump or just the cardio equipment, this gym has something for you. Recent change to new equipment is taking some getting used too because, well, its not the old stuff. I have already adapted to the new stuff and love it. Try to beat this place on their rates and the extras that are included for which other gyms charge extra! This place is like Cheers...come where everyone knows your name!
Great place to work out. The equipment is wonderful and the hours help out when you work nights.
This gym has great accessibility to a lot of necessary equipment. The environment is friendly, with amazing staff.
Jay, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure everything is great at the facility, the staff is great, and they are always improving the equipment.
An amazing gym with everything youll ever need
