What People Are Saying About Mecca Gym & Spa

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.

Total Rip Off : Not a " real gym"
by Logan787 at Citysearch
I visited this gym for the first time in September. The front desk staff acted like they were guarding a valuable exclusive, club. I decided to check it out: the equipment was the same at the Bally's gym in uptown Dallas. I didn't see the point of paying a hefty fee to work out for a couple of weeks while visiting Austin. The Spa was average compared to Equinox. Save your money, work out at Pure Fitness across the street, and then go for a nice jog at the Town Lake trails.
- Pros: If you like Paying too much $$ for a workout
- Cons: very pretentious and unprofessional

awesome downdown gym and spa
by Ronaebert at Citysearch
The atmosphere is so calming. As soon as you walk off the elevator, you feel you have arrived in a very special space. Elegant and spacious with a friendly front desk staff, and a wonderful little cafe with wine, salads and other goodies. It feels as if you are up in a glass tree house.
The gym equipment is high end and brand new, and spaced out wonderfully with plenty of room to work out. Great trainers if you want to go the personal trainer route. I love the spacious dressing areas with fluffy white towels, eucalyptus steam room, roomy showers and lockers.
The spa is a zen experience, soothing, cool, inviting and calm. And the spa staff are second to none! You must try Mecca. Come in to work out, have a massage, then finish off with a nice cocktail in the lounge...after plenty of water of course!
- Pros: great gym, excellent staff, top notch spa
- Cons: none...except there are not more locations
