Best workout Atmosphere

by dwnter

Castle Hill Fitness has quality machines and wonderful facilities and employees that create a wonderful place to work out. I am fairly new to Austin and have found Castle Hill Fitness to be a FIT. Members and the staff are welcoming to new faces and help people to reach their fitness/health goals. Try it out!

• Pros: Hospitality

The best for the buck in Austin yoga‎

by AustinTexasMan

I practice Ashtanga yoga, we practice 5-6 days a week. I'm fairly new to it all, thus I need guidance, competent, knowledgeable instruction. Juan is a very good instructor, and cares about his students, looks out for us. It's great. And Castle Hill is a very sweet gym overall, bright and knowledgeable staff and trainers and equipment et all, but I'm not there for the gym, I'm there because it's the best deal on yoga in Austin, by far, if you purchase a membership, commit for a year.

And there's none of this mat rental jive, or towel rental jive, that other studios here in town put you through -- Castle Hill has mats you can use and they are the highest quality mat that you could buy, not cheap, thin, bitty mats, and if you need a towel (you will, if you are practicing Ashtanga) you just grab one. And you can shower there after your practice, unlike most studios here in town.

• Pros: The best I've found in Austin.
• Cons: I wish the studio was brighter. I wish the AC in the studio was not set so cold.

Best Austin Personalized Fitness

by SPL123

Almost a year ago I attended a yoga class at Castle Hill Fitness; since then the entire place has become a second home to me. Not only have I felt welcomed by the staff, but the other members are kind and it is the type of place where you can come as you are. I now take two personal pilates classes each week, a weekly massage, and do yoga three times a week. Before Castle Hill Fitness, I was not a gym person - now Castle Hill has become a part of my life.

If you are looking for a place to uncover YOUR healthy body and mind, Castle Hill is for you.

P.S. the attached Castle Hill Cafe on the North side of the building serves up the best cup of Espresso in Austin and has great smoothies and prepared foods for a well deserved and healthy snack or meal!

• Pros: Diversity of Instructors, All different shapes and sizes and levels of members, working out feels comfortable
