I love
HPG. I love everything about it. It's low-key and friendly. People aren't
looking at what you are wearing or trying to pick you up. Which is not to say
that we're not "pick-up-able," 'cause we're a handsome crew, but we're more
interested in working out and staying healthy and helping each other do the
same. The folks on staff are friendly and helpful. They're happy to answer
your questions or help you out if you need some workout advice, or maybe just
a chat. They're not going to bombard you with some sales pitch for
a membership. You want to work out? Then come in, pay the fee, and do your
thing. That's it. I don't need fancy classes or booming music and pretty
outfits. I need a good gym, that's well-kept, run by friendly people, where I
can do my workout and not have to pay a ton of money. That's Hyde Park Gym.
A GREAT gym at a GREAT price for people that are interested in working out.

My name is Patrick Barlow and I can guarantee that you do not know me. I am new
to the Austin area and was looking for a new gym that was the complete opposite
of Golds Gym. I was in the Marine Corps and have been all over the world working
out at various gyms and yours by far is the best gym that I have ever stepped
into. I walked in there today and had a flash back of home, because it reminded
me of the gym I use to "live" in. I love the old school set up with the doors
and windows open and the fans blowing. It doesn't have all of the fancy
lights, t.v.'s, and crappy music playing. AND THAT'S THE WAY I LOVE IT. I will
start at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow and I can't wait. I haven't been this excited to
work out in years. Thanks for having something like this available and don't go
changing.
Thanks, Patrick Barlow
If you're in your 60's or 70's Hyde Park Gym
is your gym. After being diagnosed with moderate to severe arthritis, I decided
to do something about it. I couldn't just sit - that future was being
immobilized. I wondered about the reception an older person would get going to a
‘serious’ gym - no worry. No loud music and impossible spandex, trainers who
know how to work with the elderly and lots of friendly people ready to help.
Thanks to training my balance has improved, I'm stronger and the stiffness has
decreased. And working out gives you a high that beats depression hands down -
just ask me!
