T3 Fitness — Local services in Temple

I've been to several of the other gym options in the area and been at T3 for some time. With a new popular chain opening here is what I can say about T3. T3 is vested in the community, it is not a cooperate conglomerate that views the member as a number. You are an individual and that speaks volumes in how the owner is present on a daily basis, makes it a point to engage everyone and hosts events to support other locally owned businesses. With regard to the hours.....I look at it from this perspective......Fitness is a lifestyle. Much like I'd pay a personal trainer the expectation is I do my part to make it happen. If I have access to a 24/7 gym I make excuses not to go, certain hours force me to incorporate my workout into a daily schedule. Realistically, I totally get first responders limitations as well as medical staff. What I noticed with other 24/7 options, a lot of the equipment breaks even before some places have been open for a month, it's not a fluid workout space or the equipment and appearance is lacking. I went to Crunch and noticed a few leg machines broken, no paper towels in the machines to clean machines. T3 is about quality.....you pay for certain supplements, workout gear or beauty products because of the reputation and quality of ingredients in the product. T3 embraces a family atmosphere and staff as well as ownership genuinely care about your experience. The gym is always clean and the culture is even more welcoming. No matter your size or current fitness status, there is always staff or members there to fix your form or give some pro tips. Additionally, having teens, this facility has members who teach kids to have pride in their community, embody integrity, be compassionate and respectful. I've seen members hold each other accountable and in a culture people turn their heads I watch as members pick up things left behind, offer to help others or simply give encouragement. That's a gym culture I wanted to be a part of. Ike is truly a humble person and is always present with a kind word, a smile and cares about your experience. His lovely family encompasses integrity, hard work and ingenuity. I get the cost for some, but it's a small business and the epitome of the American dream, with hard work and grit you can be successful. The staff they select are knowledgeable, friendly and always have a smile on their face quick to address concerns or needs. You're not a number at T3, you're an individual. I am by no means a fitness model or even close to it, but I've been humbled by those training for shows stopping to give me tips on improving my form mainly because they didn't want to see me hurt myself. That says a lot. T3 embodies community, respect, humbleness, kindness, teaches pride in community, open to feedback and helps build character in our youth who look to the adults who carry themselves in there for guidance. I support small businesses because there are some things that are truly priceless..... It's way more than a gym, a way of life....it's a community. There are things I can cut out that don't give me the rewards I get walking into this gym. My health and mental well being improved because of the environment here. It's...

I have been going to T3 for a little over a year. I put in my cancellation notice on May 12, 2023, because I drive in from Georgetown and often when classes are cancelled the members are not notified. When you drive in over 30 minutes to attend a class you enjoy only to find out that the class is cancelled after you arrived, it is very frustrating. Communication is not a strong suit of T3. When it rained water leaked in through the ceiling, especially in the cycle room and you would have to ride with water dripping on you. Additionally, cleanliness was always an issue. I don’t think they have a professional housekeeping staff or have the gym cleaned after hours. I think that maybe one time in the year I attended this gym I saw a staff member vacuuming the floor. Since I had heard from previous gym members that they were billed, even after cancellation, I checked in frequently with the front desk and was told multiple times that I would no longer have access to the gym as of July 12, 2023, and that my membership was pending cancellation. On July 9th I was charged for another month. When I called up to the gym, I was told a member of the management team would reach out to me. Big surprise I was not called back……. I called the gym again to figure out what was going on. I spoke with Dawn (she was not helpful), she said she would research my account and give me a call back. She did call me back and she told me that I was charged because I needed to put in a 60-day notice and my membership would now end on August 8th, 2023. So, I guess my membership is paid for another month that I will not be going to this gym. In total for July, they charged me $25 for the annual fee, $3 to pay with my debit card, and $129 for my membership. Now I’m going to have to cancel my debit card to make sure I won’t be charged again. I think this is a terrible way to do business. With so many gyms in the Temple/Belton area that are newly open, feel clean, and are way less expensive. I don’t...

T3 is the first gym I’ve been a part of that isn’t owned by a big corporation or the city, and the difference is incredible. The sense of community here is unlike anything I’ve experienced at a gym before. They actively support local businesses, know their members by name, and regularly host free events for the community.

Every day you’ll see the owner, Ike, walking around the gym, chatting with members, and genuinely taking an interest in their lives. Small gestures like this create a welcoming environment that strengthens the gym’s sense of community.

It’s clear that cleanliness is a top priority here— the cleaning staff are very thorough. Plus they are so friendly! I’ve just really been impressed with the staff here.

But for me, the true standout is T3’s childcare. I was previously a member at Crunch and Summit, but neither offered care for babies. The childcare staff here is attentive, engaged, and incredibly trustworthy. Unlike other gyms, they welcome snacks and will even change diapers upon request, doing everything they can to keep kids happy and comfortable while parents focus on their workouts.

If you’re looking for a gym that feels like more than just a place to work...
