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.

Monthly Maintenance

by Hello Matthew at Citysearch

Before going to Mecca regularly, I hadn't had the privilege of experiencing something that should be a part of your life regime.

Mecca is beautiful, clean, and luxurious. The staff is friendly and helpful and very good at what they do. I had a Monthly Massage with Alexis. His spiritual energy and attention to detail prove what kind of place Mecca is.

I have not used the gym part of Mecca as of yet but I highly recommend the Spa for anything from the steam room or facial to the decadent Monthly ritual, and everything in between.

I know multiple people that go to Mecca and I have yet to hear a sour story.

Run, Don't Walk!!!!

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

Terrible customer service

by 1zohcat at Citysearch

this place is all hype. can't play in the big leagues. has a difficult time walking the line between sophistication and approachability. expensive for the level of customer service.

have had much better experience and service at other similar style gyms and spas.

having good management is about creating solutions, not

walking away....

I regret signing up and would not encourage anyone to make the same mistake.

  • Pros: water with slice of lemon.....
  • Cons: management lacks ability to create returning customers
