I've been working out at Fuerte for a year, and this place is what fitness dreams are made of. The gym only does group workouts and classes, so that has to be your jam.

Let's talk quality of workouts first: there is a great mix of Bootcamp, cardio, intense barre style workouts, and yoga. Each workout changes daily to keep that muscle confusion going, and because the classes are small (generally 8-10 folks) the instructors give you a lot of personal attention. The evening classes have a totally different vibe than the morning ones (really, it made me feel like I was cheating on Fuerte

Love the intimate low-key community vibe. Everyone was super friendly and I enjoyed the Piloxing class a lot. My only complaint would be that the lighting could be more pleasant. Since there are no windows except for at the very front some indirect lighting would help a lot in the form of recessed can lighting, simple sconces, etc.

I first encountered Fuerte through ClassPass and took an early morning CrossFit-esque class with Brittney. I instantly loved the down to earth and comfortable vibe I felt in this neighborhood studio. There are many regulars and instructors who know the first names of many students. I had the pleasure of meeting Ryan, the co-owner, and have since taken several of his classes. He is so friendly, knowledgeable, and will give you a guaranteed good workout. I love the TRX classes. This is a great gym and you will feel part of a family, even if you're not a super-regular attendee like me!

What can I say about this little gem that I found this past fall ? The size of class is always small, and bathroom is always clean. Teachers are great! They will fixed your pose and keep encouraging you! Love all dance classes with Dely, yoga with Emily, and the weight classes I dare you get closer to that six pack and whatever your heart desire to achieve your fitness goal. Look nowhere else. This is it!

I took the early morning 35 minute class. We did a variety of exercises that elevated my heart rate and made me sweat; a great way to start your day. Ryan clearly explained all the exercises and was a great coach!

Great variety of classes and schedule to accommodate most. Most instructors are energetic, upbeat and fun. I get a great workout every time. I appreciate the feedback from trainers so I can do exercises correctly and avoid injury. Get an introductory pass and try it! You won’t be disappointed.

I've taken the Fuerte for Life classes for adults 55 and over for the last several months. The class meets twice a week. It is keeping me flexible, building my muscles, and keeping my endurance up. Fuerte has a large clean workout room with bars, weights, T Rex's, bands, PVC poles, weighted balls, etc. and is not a gym but a place to take classes. The trainer for my class is very, nice as is Ryan, the owner. I recommend Fuerte Fitness!

I joined Fuerte in May 2018 and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you are looking for a friendly, intimidation-free environment, high intensity workouts that yield quick results, and trainers that know what they're doing and care about your progress, Fuerte is the perfect place to go.

Fuerte has been my morning go-to spot for the past 6 months and I love it. It's a small clean studio space that offers classes ranging from boot camp style to piloxing to even yoga I think. I've stuck with the boot camp (fuerte fit) and TRX classes. There is great variation in the class work-cardio, core, weights etc. so that helps it stay interesting. All classes are accessible to beginners but stay challenging. I've seen visible results with the muscle tone in my arms and abs from their classes so they make an impact. Plus the owners and instructors are great-happy to make adjustments

Fuerte is a jewel in East Austin. It's fitness that feels like family. Fedora's yoga is my favorite. The owners are such wonderful members of the community and hold fundraisers for refugees and caregivers. This is business (and fitness) done right!

I love Fuerte! I love the community, the vibe, and something different about each of the instructors. With Ryan, his corny jokes, attention to good form, and great motivation keep me going. Anne-Marie is a beast and makes no apologies. Taylor takes names, period. She's just... let's just say you'll want to take a nap afterwards. Carrie is fun and… works us hard, with great stretching sequences at the end! I love them all!! Being a part of the Fuerte community and this sweet family business has been really fun, great for my health, and keeps me coming back. Thank you Fuerte!!

Brittany is by far the best fitness class instructor I've ever had, and she and her fun classes have kept me motivated and excited to attend multiple times a week. I also love the sense of community I feel at Fuerte.

Nice staff! Fun classes, good community. I tried one class. It was a great workout in a short amount of time. It's smaller and classes only. The workouts change every time so you won't get bored. Only downside for me is that there's no shower, locker room, or gym. Personally I like the flexibility to be able to work out on my own and have options for classes. It's personal preference though! Worth checking out!

I love Fuerte! I've only taken their barre and piloxing classes, but that's enough for the friendly staff to remember my name and greet me warmly every time--I really feel a sense of community there, and the instructors are all awesome. The gym is low key, and doesn't have the pretentious nature of some other gyms closer to downtown.

I first experienced the class via Class Pass, but they have a couple "community" classes a week where you can pop in for under $10 to try it out, if you're not on that system. I've stayed on class pass unfortunately due to budget

Fuerte Fitness is great place to work out the daily grind of the work day. Ryan, the owner is accessible on all levels. He is honest in his approach in helping his clients achieve their fitness ideals, and is truly genuine when it comes to make sure each client has a clear understanding that his fitness center is a support center in the efforts of reaching each individual's fitness goals. And he know a lot about the human conditioning system, as it relates to fitness, nutrition and finding a healthy balance with the everyday stressors of life.

I love Fuerte! Pilates and yoga here are great (I am sure the other classes are too, haven't been yet). Small classes, super clean, and really high quality instructors. They have all of the props and tools at the ready. I have a knee injury and the instructors have been able to work with me in a safe way. The instructors assess levels and offer strategies that work for all skill levels. Right off I 35 on Airport. The classes have participants with a range of skills and abilities. I have long wanted to find a place I feel comfortable at to increase my fitness, and this is it!

I have taken several classes here through classpass and I really enjoy this studio. They have a great offering of classes including barre, Piloxing, and HIIT inspired classes - so there's something for everyone. The space is really clean and inviting. They have a nice mirror wall and wall mounted barres. I always appreciate good equipment. Everyone here is so friendly and motivating. The instructors are top notch too. I'll definitely be back!

I continue to work out at Fuerte Fitness and still stand by my initial rating. Great place to work out. The owners, instructors, and gym members are awesome. They just got a panel of mirrors, which are awesome to improve your form! (FYI - If you are self-conscious about the mirrors, they are only on 1 side of the gym, so you don't have to focus on yourself if it makes you uncomfortable)
