Fitness is a lifelong journey.

We offer the guided, scenic tour.

Overlooking downtown Austin, Mecca's 12,500-square-foot interior and 4,000-square-foot outdoor solarium spans two floors and combines the natural elements of stone and wood with soaring architectural spaces.

A place to renew, recharge and enjoy, Mecca is designed to be an urban wellness retreat. Materials such as limestone and leather are combined with warm, rich colors and textures to create a peaceful sanctuary.

Whether it's a personal training session, invigorating visits to the eucalyptus steam rooms or body treatments customized for your skin, we have thought of every detail to make your gym and spa experience an exceptionally enjoyable one.

For some the journey ends at Mecca.

Editorial Review for Mecca Gym & Spa – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Doors open to what resembles an upscale hotel lobby, with a comfortable cafe to the left and an immaculate gym lit by skylights and with cityscape views lying just ahead. The spa experience isn't limited to gym members, though. The Sonya Dakar facial is customized with Dakar's product line, cleansing, exfoliating, extracting and hydrating the face to result in glowing, radiant skin. Another splurge-worthy treatment is the massage Grande, with extra-long foot and hand rubbing.

paid for a brazilian wax job. expected COMPLETE removal. went home to find tuffs and clumps left. i'm not insanely, crazily, ethnically hirsute so i have no idea why i was charged for such a crappy and incomplete service. even if i was that hirsute, i would have paid extra for the service. next time, i would rather go to a cheap asain place than to go back to this pseudo-spa wanna be place. if the asians talk about me behind my back, who cares, i won't understand them anyway. the funny thing is, the receptionist at Mecca was friendly and cordial, so i was excited to experience services from a spa with convenient extended hours. too bad she wasn't the aesthetician. the aesthetician i had didn't want to be there or didn't care about her job. i will never go back to them and i will let everyone i know know how much this place is a rip off.

I recently moved to Austin and have been trying to find a new gym, this place was recommended by a woman friend. Very self consciously girly, limited free weights and very few weight machines. You get the feeling the free weights are very feng shui! The "spa" is kind of a back room done up in earth tones. It looks like they wanted to do a cool women's spa but couldn't afford the space and then ran out of money so they had to let in some guys. Nothing really wrong with it, if you're the kind of guy who digs facials, this one's for you, bud..
