Studio Three Austin — Local services in Austin

For being more of a luxury studio, it was absolutely beautiful but overall lacking the "luxe" touch. Front desk staff is super kind & instructors are hype & clearly love their jobs.

For the interval class I asked if it was similar to Orange Theory and I was told no but it is exactly like it. There is no intro or quick "beginner set up" before class. If I had never gone to OT I would have been lost in the class as it is a bit confusing for a newbie and very hard to hear the instructor with no visible screens to read what we were doing I had to trust the person next to me heard the instructor. Also we were switching machines without ever wiping them down from person to person and I was pretty bothered by the exchange of sweat/germs. At OT they have quick wipes by every machine.

For the yoga, I believe I had Michael, he was awesome and I enjoyed his class. I would have loved if there was something to wipe my mat down after class. During many hot yoga classes at the end they offer a cold moist towel during the last 5 to 10 minutes or fans to cool you down, this class was lacking that touch.

Also parking is not truly validated you have to pay $5 every time you go to the garage the recommend. Overall if you are doing drop ins you are spending $35 every time $30 for the class, $5 for parking.

I don't think I would be back unless there was...

An awesome place! I have been going to S3 for more than 3 months now. My favorites are cycle and Interval classes. The cycle room is designed beautifully with lots of possibility to engage with the podium. The lighting is amazing and the speakers are full sound. But, my most favorite are the bikes. The bikes are double magnet, super friendly to adjust and just take you to another level of cycling.

Interval room is organized perfectly. The workout itself depends on the instructor but after you find your favorite you can have a top-notch workout. The routines change up quickly so you can get three different sequences in a week if you keep going.

The yoga room is filled with nice mirrors. Almost everyone can see themselves if the room is not super full. I would say for the hot yoga class, the heat is not as much as you would expect.

Hi-Def is one other favorite of mine. It can get super intense and a good combination of strength and stability.

Overall, it is a super nice studio with very engaging and friendly instructors and staff. The use of the space has been smart and the vibe you get in when entering the studio is super friendly and cool. I do sweat a lot in...

The space is very beautiful. I love that they have a smoothie/healthy eating spot in the same building.

But . . the spin studio. Is interesting. The bikes are horrible and hard to set up. It’s super hard to get to your bike due to the limited space between the bikes. It seems like they’re trying to do the same Peloton setup which probably works for a studio that’s mostly online. But I was so focused on how awkward the bike was that it was hard to focus on the class.

Also the instructor had mostly fast runs during the class. Which sure fine. But it makes the class kind of boring. Alana is the lead instructor here and she’s AMAZING. The class I took wasn’t with her. Please recruit some instructors from Ride or Love.

I know they’re just starting out so there’s grace. But seriously questioning the bike choices and cycle studio setup.

I won't be coming back. I go to orangetheory and heard the interval classes are a carbon copy of that except they don't wipe in between machines. Yuck. No thanks. I'll just...
