Iām hopping back on here to say that another year has passed and Iām still in love with this place so much. They are simply the best. I always feel welcomed and pushed in the most positive way. Keep up the great work HEAT! This is the world's most overdue review! I love HEAT Bootcamp and everyone associated with it. They offer the best workout in Austin in a fun, inclusive, diverse environment. HEAT has been my sanctuary since I joined in Fall 2016. I love group classes and I was looking for a new fitness home after my increasingly busy Real Estate business meant I needed to alter my workout times/attend at varied time slots and ensure that all the classes were challenging. I knew Coach Greg (shout out! He no longer coaches camps but you will see him in classes from time to time. He is a Personal Trainer and fellow Real Estate Pro too! ) and decided to give HEAT's classes a try. I went once and was HOOKED. I started going on Class Pass in the summer then bought a trial run then officially joined that fall. Over 1000 classes and counting and seven plus years later I am still a loyal member and super fan. The OG owner Cody created a dynamic environment that is welcoming to all. He even paused everyone's memberships during the COVID19 shut down and provided new classes for free to the public on YouTube six days a week until they were able to reopen. The torch has since been passed to new owners Haider and Danny. Haider is an entrepreneur with a passion for fitness and people and Danny is an amazing coach and personal trainer and now business owner who makes everyone feel seen in class and pushes campers to be their best. They have a taken an awesome boutique fitness studio and made it even better with more events, challenges, class milestone shoutouts and ways to connect and sweat. All are welcome-all fitness levels, all walks of life. I love my HEAT Fam! From the engaging front desk staff to the incredible coaches (seriously they all ROCK) and the enthusiastic members it's the best place to workout in Austin, period. P.S. they offer personal training too. ...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI have been coming to HEAT since pre-covid days. This gym has changed my life in many ways - paired with healthy eating it's helped me lose a considerable amount of weight and build muscle, and working out here 5x/week in the mornings has reversed my pre-diabetes. I was never (and will never be) a morning person, but the coaches and the campers are what keep me coming to 7am classes. Some of my favorites in no particular order are Coach Valentina, who encourages us to take our time and lift heavy, Coach Danny with his original workouts and unwavering optimism, Coach Sheena with her biting wit and uh....enthusiastic singing voice, and Coach Billy with his dry sarcasm and moody AF emo teen music. HEAT has always put their campers first. I was very impressed at how they weathered COVID - in the early days they kept us exercising by posting daily workout videos, and bravely invented creative and safe ways for us to work out in person as the pandemic progressed. Now HEAT has new owners, Haider and Danny, who continues this gym's awesome legacy. They've introducing cool new challenges and events, and really cares about their campers. Once Haider even helped me put air in my tire when it was flat. All this to say, I love this gym and will keep coming back! If you haven't tried it, you definitely should - their workouts are designed for everyone, no matter where you are in your...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWhen I moved to Austin a few months ago, I tried dozens of gyms and workout classes. HEAT is far and away the best in Austin... for a few reasons.
The coaches: every. single. coach. at HEAT is encouraging, high-energy, and wants you to do what is best for you and your body. There is a serious focus on form, rather than just lifting heavy weights, and the coaches will take the time to help you correct your form, even in the middle of a class. Need a modification to an exercise? No big deal - they are always offered.
The atmosphere: when you go to HEAT, everyone in the class makes you feel welcome and like you are part of a larger community. I am the kind of person who is easily intimidated walking into a workout class for the fist time... not at HEAT. The people in my "pod" for my first workout were amazing, gave me tips about signing up for classes, and left me laughing throughout the class. This inclusivity has extended through every class I've taken.
Last but certainly not least.... 3. The workout: a combination of HIIT/Cardio/Strength Training that is different every time. You will leave feeling strong, confident, and SWEATY! Highly recommend taking advantage of their upper body/lower body focused workouts to give your body some time to rest in between sessions.
