OutWellness — Attraction in Austin

I experienced OutWellness when I came to visit my daughter in Austin for a couple of weeks. She and a bunch of her friends workout 6 days a week at OutWellness. Upon laying my eyes on her (it had been several months since I’d seen her), I could IMMEDIATELY see how much stronger she is and how focusing on her health is making such a difference for her in every way. So, of course, I went to the gym with her and “the gaggle”, every day of my visit. I’m in my 60s and was 6 weeks out from ACL knee surgery. So I was still a little unsteady on my feet. But Coach Syd Young (who is also a certified physical therapist—having a coach who is a PT is game changer), very patiently took the time to assess and suggest augmented movements to support my specific situation. I have to say: my knee feels the best it has felt since the injury. I was also blown away by the vibe at OutWellness: SO. MUCH. FUN! Coach Syd has created a safe and supportive place where anyone—everyone—can feel welcome as they take care of their health and well being. I’ll admit that I was surprised to hear that my daughter was working out so consistently for months and months. Until I went to OutWellness myself. It was such a physically, mentally, and soulfully uplifting experience. Go for the positive fun, stay for the healthy benefits! I’m a...

I love outwellness. They have the best water in the city! I cannot explain how special this gym is and what it has done for me and the people I love. Our lives are forever changed by Syd and this space. I WANT to be here EVERYDAY. I’ve never been more excited to wake up. I’ve never been more excited to move my body. I’ve never felt more safe and supported. I cannot imagine my life without outwellness and Syd. There are no words! It feels silly to try to write a review for heaven!!!! But I’m trying! Trust and believe this is not just the best gym but also place in the world. I’m so lucky to be a part of this community and so eternally grateful to Syd for how they have exponentially improved the lives of every person who walks through the doors of outwellness. Everyday we leave the gym and gush over the hour we get to share with Syd. This is more than a gym! This is a refuge for us all! Thank you thank you thank you Syd! See you tomorrow! 💪🏻 Everyday we spend at outwellness is the best day of our entire lives and we...

I love going to OutWellness! Since starting to work out here, I’ve developed so much more strength and stability than I knew I could. Syd does such a great job of hearing my goals and helping me meet (and exceed!) them while addressing new needs. For example, I tweaked my back a little and was able to use my personal training sessions with Syd as a chance to get some PT support while doing personal training. That’s one of the huge reasons I love coming here - having a personal training who’s a certified physical therapist is the best of both worlds!

Additionally, Syd and everyone at OutWellness do an INCREDIBLE job at curating community! Everyone is always so friendly and supportive. As a plus size queer woman, I never thought I would feel this comfortable in an athletic space.

Whether it’s a workout that will kick my ass in the very best way or a safe place to go to awesome events, I know I’m always gonna have a...
