LOVE this place! For many reasons. I recently started training with Randy, and he is the REAL deal! Like no kidding! He is an amazing instructor and takes his time with me and meets me where I am at. I had a car accident and a head injury so I have to modify many movements and go slow.
Another reason, I love this gym, is that it is CLEAN! I am mean, REALLY clean! The weight racks are always in order! The floors are spotless! For a boxing and weight rack gym, it is truly amazing! Better than any box store gym in the city!
The people who work there, say hello to you! I feel like when I am there,

I feel a little guilty writing this since I've been in long term relationships with gyms before but South Austin Gym is my DREAM gym!!
All of the boxing and weightlifting equipment is in top shape and the gym is meticulously clean. There is a lot of space to move around and lots of squat racks and other equipment for heavier weightlifting, sleds and tires for metabolic conditioning, etc.
The coaching has been really good and the women's locker room is nicer than I expected.
What a badass gym!!

There was this lady I guess a Mauy Thai coach for the females here named May Sun, she made this such a terrible and disappointing experience for me. I have trained all over the Country in top Mma gyms/boxing gyms as well....with the best of the best fighters. Not being from Texas I was excited and looking for a gym to get back into, but I got a day pass to come here. We were quiet and respectful kept to ourselves and we were just looking to get a good workout in and back into training a bit, but we started hitting the heavy bags in the corner then May Sun came over to us and asked us "who

I'll be reviewing this gym from a boxing point of view.
If you are an experienced boxer I would not recommend this gym. For beginners who enjoy working out in a group setting, I think this gym would work well for you. The facilities are decent and the people who work there are friendly.
This gym will be somewhere between $100 and $180 per month depending on the length of contract. You get boxing classes included in this price. This is also the minimum price you would pay just for access to the heavy bag.
There is value in that price if you are looking to learn the basics. However, I feel

I had an awful experience with this gym, they sold me a group-on that does not state it does not include bag use. However, the lady at the front desk informed me that I could use the beat up heavy bags in the back of the gym. These bags were removed from the gym after a few months and I bought a membership for a whole year. I feel like they mislead others into buying this group on and after speaking with group on, they said that others have has the same issue in which they have not fixed it still.
As far as the gym goes it is very mediocre and does have all the necessary equipment but lacks cleanliness

I've been going to this gym for about a year and a half. It used to be great, but there have been too many changes. First, Ronnie Lis (who taught the BJJ) left to go on his own. He was a great instructor. They've turned the BJJ area into a multi-purpose area that doesn't serve any of those purposes well. There's tires to flip, but no room to flip them. A place to drag a sled, but the sled area is too short to do much good. The area is ok for stretching/foam rolling, but that prevents people from using it for anything else. There's some junky/broken cardio equipment

South Austin Gym is a REAL south Austin gym. It's a real gym, and it has that Austin friendliness and straightforwardness. It's well equipped, clean and easy in and out. My husband and daughter use it for a basic workout gym. I took the boxing kickstart session (totally worth the reasonable price) and I'm going to be using it for the boxing classes and basic gym. Cade, a young man with a gift for teaching, did my personal kickstart session, and I had such a great time, and FELT LIKE I LEARNED SO MUCH IN ONE HOUR. He was very realistic, but encouraging in a sincere way. I

How well I enjoyed class really depended on who was teaching. The owner never taught any of the classes when I was there in the evening. Some of the instructors really did a great job! Other times a kid (around 19) who worked at the front desk taught class. I had my membership suspended due to an injury. I decided to cancel my membership and was charged for two additional months. I was told the second month was due to the "30 day rule". Well, I cancelled my membership this month (December) and still had to pay through February. Lame.

If you want to lose some pounds and inches, come to South Austin Gym. I have always tended to stall out at other gyms but not here. Randy and Maurice will make sure that you never run out of new moves, techniques, exercises, etc. for you to stall out. If you're serious about boxing, kick-boxing, or martial arts, you'll get outstanding instructors, but if you just want to lose weight and build muscle you'll get the best workouts ever. I have been here for 21 months and have nothing but good things to say. By the way, age is not a problem. (I'm 62 years old.)

Just renewed for my second yearly membership at SAG and thought it was time to leave my thoughts. This is the anti-LIFETIME Fitness gym and that is why I love it. I work out early in the morning usually and often have the gym to myself. No one in the gym is judging others and nobody seems to be just chatting it up. This isn't a hang out spot, it's a place to sweat it out and get work done. The membership prices cannot be beat and I know I am getting my money's worth. Why waste your money paying for an in-house juice bar or all day Zumba classes? This is no frills working out

Came in to try the gym out tonight because I heard good things. My workout was only going to take 20 minutes as I told the guy at the desk. He charged me $15, okay cool, he tells me that's a 1 day pass. When I leave (20 minutes later) I ask the same person if I can come back tomorrow before 6pm? 1 day = 24 hours right? The same guy makes this weird thinking emoji face and says "I don't know I'll have to ask Mo". I wanted to give a local gym a chance but I think I'll stick to 24 Hour Fitness. At least there I would have got shown around and the day pass would have

South Austin Gym really is where you want to go for an amazing workout as well as learning a new skill-set. Yes, they do have full gym with cardio equipment and weights, but they are geared toward Kickboxing, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Boxing & MMA... I had specifically picked this gym for their kickboxing/muay thai classes AND the fact you can go to as many classes as you like was also a perk. Although I had done kickboxing a little bit previously, I wanted to get back into it. So I started at South Austin Gym in January 2014 and I am so glad I did!

1 year ago I decided to join South Austin Gym after realizing that I needed to make some changes in my life. Specifically, I had gotten out of shape (after about 1.5 years of not exercising), I was extremely stressed out from working very long hours, and I lacked any real hobbies/interests outside of working and going to bars. I had never boxed or tried any sort of martial arts before, but I had always had an interest in it, despite never being very coordinated or athletic.
During my first class I felt awkward at first because, of course, I didn't know the skills or routines, but everyone

Okay. I don't know WHERE that photo came from of that weight room, but that is most certainly not what is in the actual gym. I came across this gym through Groupon (I get what I paid for, eh? Kind of like the $1 burgers at Wendy's that's just one dollar to remind you of the shame).
It advertises stairmasters, ellipticals, treadmills, etc. There's maybe... what... 9 treadmills? Facing the wall. What a view. Oh, and only 3 work. I've mentioned it to the front desk, but after two months, none were fixed. Some don't turn on at all, some of them have televisions
