Island Fitness — Local services in South Padre Island

Great small town gym. Clean. Decent equipment. And when staffed, fantastic customer service (Thnx Dianna!). However, trying to use the GymMaster app is not good. It’s not intuitive. Doesn’t allow you to bill a credit card, or debit card for a day pass. There was a visitor I met the day before, who had paid, but the app was refusing entrance! Long story short, go visit this great neighborhood gym - but ONLY when there’s someone in attendance!! Otherwise you’ll lose your money. Shame bc there’s great potential here!!

Update: later in the morning I got a call from Dianna. She was able to contact the app developer and rectify the problem. As I said above, GREAT customer service! The gym is a fantastic place with welcoming patrons. It’s the app that needs attention however. Give this place a go when you’re on SPI. GREAT...

I would recommend or not recommend this gym but what does it matter? The guy owns the only 24/7 on the island.The owner will make that clear. It’s either his ridiculous prices and rules or the highway. Not very good business in my opinion!! I’m an avid lifter that loves to workout 7 times a week. I work here on the island at JBS rentals and have an active lease. With my schedule, it’s impossible for me to make the daily hours unless with 24/7 access. The locals have only had bad things to say about the owner and this was only proved to be accurate with my experience. I could not get 24/7 access because of “security” or “liability” problems. I now have to drive twice a week to a gym in Harlingen to workout. Unless you get the 24/7 access, I wouldn’t recommend. If you have time through the day I would recommend THE GYM in...

I work out at island fitness when I am in South Padre island. They have free weights and a nice place to work out. There is new management recently. If you want a good workout this is a nice place. The rates are daily $20, weekly $50 and Monthly $75 plus tax. What I love about the monthly rate is that you will be given a 24 hour access. Most of the time because I love fishing, dancing and just walking the beach I find myself working out after hours. They do have very good normal hours but if you are like I am your days are limited. Most of the times I am working out at night by myself. I heard that they now offer 24 hour access for the weekly membership. Also they now offer a pause capabilities for your membership if you leave for some reason you...
