Castle Hill Fitness

Jan 16, 2025

Been a member here for a little over 6 months and I only have good things to say. The gym is clean and well kept, it’s never full so you can always get a machine, and the staff are very nice. I went to LifeTime for many years and Castle Hill Fitness is way better if you need the gym essentials.

Had a massage w Sean in wellness area and he was great at working on the areas that are tight and needed loosening- he clearly knows what he’s doing and I’m feeling better already

I don’t review things often but after being a member here for two years, I wanted to say a huge thank you to my favorite gym. I have previously been a member at a lot of gyms around town having moved around Austin a good bit. By far Castle Hill is my favorite. Why? Simple reason- I feel like I fit in and I’m comfortable here. That’s really the best compliment I can pay them. From Derra who works in the spa to Clark’s personal training and Josh’s cycle strength class (which I think is on hiatus right now), every bit of my experience with this gym has been amazing. I struggle with feeling comfortable in a lot of gyms for a variety of reasons, but I have been able to make significant progress on my personal workout goals here. If you’re wondering whether this is the place for you, trust me - it is. Hope to see you there!

As a newbie to the fitness world, Castle Hill has been so great to help me work on my goals! I’ve never been very athletic, and pretty intimidated by gyms and working out in general. I mostly take classes, which works great for me because they offer a ton. My favorites are the Castle Barre and WERK with Sabrina. Many of the classes utilize Class Pass as well, so that’s an option as well. I don’t feel weird going in, I love all the different class and equipment options, and it’s nice to have a sauna in the locker room. Pop in for a tour, and they will usually let you come in for a trial workout!

I went to a class with my aunt while I was visiting and was so welcomed and had a great workout. The staff are very kind and the facilities are clean and well organized. I don't come to town often but I look forward to coming back during my next visit.

I can't speak more highly of Castle Hill Fitness - a true Austin gem of a gym! The facilities are extensive, the classes offered are great and the staff is truly the best part. Special shoutout to Ramsay, Cassie and Gregory for their awesome pilates classes!

Great people and members are mainly local. Slightly pricey but what isn’t these days. They offer many training classes. Local workout spot!

I’ve had consistently good experiences with workout classes at Castle over the past 3 years - thanks for being a great asset to the community!

Amazing gym and definitely worth the cost! It's larger than it appears on the outside. Once you enter, there are lots of different rooms for classes, a room for treadmills, a room for 4 squat racks, the gym near the entrance area, and an outside area for workouts. Friendly staff and class instructors are great. There are classes all throughout the day, including the evenings. The Castle Hill Fitness Mobile app makes it easy to search for and book classes. I never thought I would pay $118/month for a gym membership, but I really like this place. Good vibes and friendly people. Plus, I like supporting an independent business rather than some chain gym. One area that could use improvement is the free weight area. It's a very small area. It can fit at most 3 people. Luckily, they do allow you to take the weights to the outside area nearby. Their gift shop next door is leaving, so maybe they could use that space for another free weight area? Just an idea. Anyways, all in all, a great gym! Sadly, I'm moving away so I had to cancel. But hopefully I can be back some day.

Super welcoming, sparkling clean, great classroom offerings, new or well maintained equipment. Kelly, the instructor, did a great job!

Potentially the best gym in Austin… The life blood of what makes Castle Hill Fitness so special is the hard working and dedicated staff who show up every single day with a great attitude. I’ve been a member for over 7 years, and it’s been my favorite gym in Austin during this time. I have to say this though, upper management is letting the employees and members down. The trainers are constantly being blindsided by not having the equipment or marketing they depend on to develop a client base. Management also refuses to answer any emails or inquiries from long standing members. In fact, it’s extremely rare to see anyone from management actually enter the building at all! During my time there I can recall seeing them locked in an office a total of 3 times. I even knocked on the door and was waved off. I really hope they can turn it around. I’ll update in 5 weeks. Well, I guess this is what it takes to get a response. Never got an email, but thanks for responding on google maps.

A great gym from all aspects, be it the trainers, the front desk staff, the spa service or the managers. A true pleasure to come and enjoy the perfect and immaculate facilities as well as the atmosphere. Never too busy, and during the pandemic the investment and care that was taken to assure the wellbeing and safety of the clients was exemplary.

Best gym in Austin. Not too crowded, sauna, friendly staff.

Castle Hill Fitness is the best option for a gym in downtown, is not just the great coaches but the great and safe atmosphere. I love my Gym!

Feb 06, 2024

Castle Hill is an amazing local gym. More than a gym, it's a community of top notch trainers, practitioners, and members. If you're looking for a slice of the best of "old" Austin (--and CHF is always evolving!), I highly recommend checking it out.

FAVORITE GYM I'VE EVER HAD! This gym looks a lot smaller than it is... it's actually very large with an upstairs, backyard, spa, and several studio rooms. However, it still has the charm of a quaint mom and pop gym. I love getting greeting by the staff's friendly smiles, and Sam Boucher always happily/promptly helps me with my questions and requests. Also a big fan of the classes!

Feb 06, 2024

Good experience at this gym, they have a bunch of verity of machines and other type of equipment, would recommend to someone visiting the Austin area

Feb 06, 2024

I do miss this Gym! It has everything you want as a gym, not crowded, clean, no weird people in the gym , and all staffs are so nice and helpful! However, due to my relocation I have to move out of Austin. I hope I could come back and visit the gym someday.

Feb 06, 2024

I love their classes!! They have a massive variety of fun workouts and workshops. Great trainers and a super chill community. Joining this gym has been a transformation for me - not just physically but mentally too.

Feb 06, 2024

I'm so glad that I finally found my favorite gym in Austin. It has all the equipment I need for my regular workout. It's always clean and not too busy. People are friendly. Parking has never been an issue.

I've tried 3 different gyms in the Austin area. Planet Fitness up north, 24 Hour Fitness near Hancock, and the YMCA on Town Lake. I have also tried Orange Theory up in Mueller. The three gyms I have tried have been MISERABLE. Wait times for every machine, every bench, and every dumbbell. What could have been a 25 minute workout would take an hour, just because you'd have to sit there and suffer through the sheer amount of people. Orange Theory was fine, but soooo expensive. Castle Hill has allowed me to step into working out with some confidence. Confidence that I won't be judged, as the community is very peaceful, quiet and respectful. Confidence that I can workout on my schedule (in and out within an hour). Confidence that my money is not going to support some syndicated cesspool that doesn't take care of its patrons. Best of all, confidence that I am getting my money's worth! Now, it's expensive. There is no denying that. However, the full gym access plus unlimited classes is still almost $20 cheaper than just unlimited classes at a place like Orange Theory, which only offers a limited selection. This has been great for my girlfriend. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who values a quiet, efficient, respectful and inclusive workout environment enough to front the costs. To me they have been beyond worth their weight.

Lovely gym, very good, solid equipment and no one was in the weight room. NOT CROWDED! Lots of amenities and classes - and this looks like a small building but once you get in it keeps going and going. Polite staff is welcoming and took the time to show me through the entire gym. The price is comparable to high end gyms in the area and this facility is far better than anything else I’ve seen in the Austin area.

Queer friendly staff. Separate bathrooms perfect for us non-binary folk. Outdoor areas, boxing, wellness, such a lovely place!

Feb 06, 2024

Such a lovely space! The gym is very clean and quiet with a friendly staff. The massage was incredible! I enjoyed my entire afternoon at CHF and will be back soon.

Feb 06, 2024

The entire crew at Castle Hill take great care to be professional and great at their jobs. A welcoming, relaxed environment that really facilitates working out and getting healthier!

Feb 06, 2023

Felt like a rehab gym, wish I was recommended to check out other gyms. $27 for a day pass was definitely overcharging for what’s offered. Very small free weight area, went for convenience.

Feb 06, 2023

I love this gym. They have wonderful facilities, classes and everyone is so nice!! Really great massages, personal training and soup peddler is attached (yum) the list of things I love about this place could go on and on. I was a member for years but then moved away from Austin (it was honestly one of the things I missed the most when we moved away.) When moving back to the area I toured a few other high end gyms and none of them could compare to Castle Hill. Its a truly authentic, locally owned gem of a gym.

I've recently started going to Castle Hill on N. Lamar and I love it. it has a terrific atmosphere and a great mix of people from young to more senior all working out in a fun environment. Special shoutout to my trainer Laurie Rourke. I have been a client of hers for years. Not only is she awesome at helping me achieve my fitness goals she has really helped me stay healthy as I've gotten older so I can continue to stay active.

If you are looking for a gym that makes you feel comfortable and has places for you to stretch on your own or work out in a quiet space this is the place for you! I am still completely in awe of all of the offerings that this gym has! I came to them having been at LA fitness for quite some time and every time I worked out there I always felt like I was being gawked at. Here it’s definitely a completely different environment where you can stretch privately or run with no one staring at you from behind! They have so many different classes available, machines, they have a great staff! Everyone that’s in there just seems like they’re in an incredible mood! It definitely deserves every star they receive. If you’re not sure I would totally go ahead and just test it out and take a tour of the facility. Another thing that I really enjoy is that you can go month to month here if you are traveler or you have other obligations that require you to be outside of town!
