Castle Hill Fitness Gym & Spa

Fantastic experience: Paige was helpful

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

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

Fantastic experience: 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!

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

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Negative experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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

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

Fantastic experience: 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.

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

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Positive experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, never too busy, staff has always been friendly. Recommended for those sick of the "big-box" gyms.

Fantastic experience: Love Castle Hill Fitness. Been going here for about a year. The classes are the best part. Take target toning or castle barre! Both amazing classes. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Love the cardio and yoga classes. Everyone is super friendly and the installations are amazing! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Have been taking Pilates classes there for over 2 years now. People are really friendly and the locker rooms are very nice. They offer a Go Local card discount btw.

Positive experience: I went to this gym for a couple years and really enjoyed it. I only cancelled my membership because I moved into an apartment with a gym and could no longer justify the high cost. Here you get all the amenities of a large gym without all the people. The classes were helpful and the instructors were knowledgeable. I'm always worried about parking wherever I go, but they provide you with a parking pass that opens up some nearby lots. Only once or twice did I have to park far away. And even then, it's not terrible to get a little exercise on the way to the gym.

Positive experience: I had the pleasure of taking a few yoga classes at Castle Hill and found the place to be very nice and accommodating. Not a huge fan of the location though, that part of Lamar can be quite busy all day long. If you live close and can walk or ride your bike, then this is a great place to hit up for sure.

Positive experience: Friendly and Well Equipped Gym! I am in my second week of their 2 week trial and have loved my experience. They have all the equipment you need plus more! Their cycling classes are very challenging yet fun and their Pilates equipment is top of the line! The instructors are very knowledgeable, energetic and more than willing to help! Even the staff will go out of their way to help! Ellipticals, two rowing machines and treadmills have individual tv's. Can't wait to try out the rock climbing wall!

Positive experience: Little pricey and wish they had more free weights but awesome if you are in to a variety of classes and things of that nature. Literally walking distance from my office so no excuse not to get my sweat on after work.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere is a good fit for me. It's not too busy and the music is present, but not pumping. All of the staff I've worked with so far have been knowledgeable and responsive to my fitness plans. And, I love the endless climbing wall!

Fantastic experience: Just finished a free 30 day pass and this place is great. I like it so much that I'm really leaning towards canceling my Pure Fitness membership and jumping ship to Castle Hill. The classes are fun, and meet my work schedule as they usually have a 6:30 and 7 PM class for the individuals that can't get out of the office at 5. They also have really unique gym equipment like the continuous rock wall and rope climb, both are a ton of fun and provide a great work out.

Fantastic experience: I love their classes!!

Fantastic experience: The gym gives me a semi and I don't mind

Fantastic experience: This is where ryan has a 7 day free trial

Fantastic experience: Ryan was here

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Not overly crowded, multiple rooms to space out, very clean, and plenty of equipment options

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym a little over a month and I’m obsessed to say the least! I’ve fallen in love with their variety of class selections most of all. Everyone at this gym is very welcoming and super nice. It’s always very clean and never too crowded. I only wish I joined ages ago because it’s the best gym I’ve ever been to.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Castle Hill for the three years now! The team and the members alike are awesome!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic people working there.

Fantastic experience: The premium is worth it for this facility. I never had to wait for weights. The patrons were nice and friendly. Also, lgbt-friendly. Never felt uncomfortable. They were completely reasonable with cancellations policy. They provide you all the resources for a comfortable workout.

Fantastic experience: If I could give 6 starts I would...This gym is a real gem. Much above all other gyms I have been to, and I have been to many. The Lamar st. location is spacious, clean, with wonderful spaces for diverse exercise routines, and nice rooms for classes. Incredible equipment for Pilates and Wall Yoga; lots of props for floor exercise; spa included in the facility. The Westlake location also has a swimming pool (quite narrow) and hot tub - a delight. Both places have just the right amount of traffic - not too crowded but energy abounds. They would give a Visitor Passes package if you wish to try out the facilities. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I am a big crossfit fan, and their crossfit room is amazing.

Fantastic experience: The classes at Castle Hill are super challenging, body positive, and fun. It’s my favorite gym that I’ve ever been to and it adds a lot of good to my life.

Positive experience: I love this gym. All staff members are very helpful. locker rooms are very nice.

Fantastic experience: Great people, functional equipment (bands, etc) and CrossFit room is awesome. Instructors are top class and have deep knowledge of their craft

Fantastic experience: My favorite way to start the day! The pilates department is especially awesome. Check out Deborah, Stephanie, and Lindsay

Fantastic experience: Best facilities. Best massages. Best Pilates!!

Fantastic experience: Best yoga in Austin.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the massages here. I had the best structural integration session with Thomas today!

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite gyms!

Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: The gym seems great however...Please fix your parking signs in the back so that people are not confused...the alternative you seem to have employed of having some dog faced krimped haired harpie screaming at people after they have already parked is not working

Fantastic experience: One of my happy places in Austin. Great gym with everything I need including a selection of high-quality classes. Super friendly staff always greet you with a smile.

Fantastic experience: I practiced 3 or 4 mornings with Juan for Ashtanga yoga while I was in town on vacation in Austin. He has fantastic depth of knowledge. He gave me fantastic guidance that I continue to implement and it continues to improve my strength and balance. I look forward to practicing with him again! Facilities are fantastic, eco friendly, and clean. The last day I wanted to clean off my mat and was pleasantly surprised to see them using essential oils. Bravo!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with some great people

Fantastic experience: Great gym , friendly staff and equipment to get the job done.

Positive experience: Smells weird (trust me you'll notice) and the people there are just their own closed circle Although the staff are nice and have good equipment nothing special

Positive experience: Top three gyms in Austin. Right up there with Pure austin and lifetime fitness in terms of athleticism and level of knowledgeable staff and classes. Clean. Friendly instructors. Great cycling and yoga programs. Parking leaves something to be desired....

Fantastic experience: I love this gym they have very nice employees and clean gym.

Fantastic experience: Love the cardio and yoga classes. Everyone is super friendly and the installations are amazing! Highly recommended.
