Hyde Park Gym is a complete-minimalist gym, with space for weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, bodybuilding, sports performance and general fitness/weight-loss. We are known for our family atmosphere and diversity. An Olympian working out next to a great-grandmother is the norm. The gym is also known for “the Arm” – the gargantuan dumbbell-curling bicep that protrudes over Guadalupe Street. Helmed by iron game legend Mike Graham in the 80s and 90s, HPG is a charming piece of fast-disappearing Old Austin.
HPG caters to folks of all fitness levels and ages. We’re open every day of the year. Come by anytime – We’d love to show you around!
COVID-19 UPDATE
We are maintaining the same protocols that have been in place since our May 18 re-open. Coming to a gym, an enclosed space with individuals engaged in heavy respiration, is risky. THE VIRUS IS STILL WITH US. Wearing a mask (along with avoiding crowds) is one of the best ways to reduce the chance of transmission. It must cover your mouth and nostrils. It will be enforced to protect our members of all ages. And I don’t know how long the mask requirement will last.
TRAFFIC PATTERNS: The slower times are 9 – 11am and 1:30 to 4:30pm during the week. The weekend afternoons are also typically slow. Occasionally, during these periods, the gym might have less than 3 people inside. (This is impossible to predict and you are welcome to call to get a real-time assessment.)
We are open in a limited capacity. Hand washing upon entry is required. Masks are required at all times (excluding taking a quick drink). Total occupancy is 28, or 275 square feet per person. There are individual room limits, creating maximum distance is mandated, and yelling and excessive talking is discouraged. In order to provide safety for our existing clientele, short-term passes are not available. WE HAVE OUTDOOR AREAS AVAILABLE, and will happily help you transport equipment into the pen. While we’re cleaning more than usual, and have increased access to sprays, towels, soap, and sanitizer, it’s impossible to keep a gym perfectly clean at all times. This illness is respiratory in nature and may be transmitted when you breathe air from an infected person’s sneeze, cough, laughter, breath, etc. Returning to the gym entails risk. Whatever you decide, we honor you, appreciate you, and look forward to seeing you again… Whenever that may be. LOVE, HPG (Oct 6)
