Been to this gym met a very nice guy Jamie he's always cleaning and making sure the gym is up to standards but that other guy I believe he's new just sits on his phone and doesn't seem to be doing much for this nice gym/ clean. RARE Times he cleans. There's been times the trash is full to the top and he's just on his phone and the trash is overflowing.

My husband and I had a horrible experience… We came all the way from San Antonio to South Padre and needed a gym to work out… We couldn’t even get through the door… After walking through all their monogamous steps and finally putting in our payment it just continue to say submitting and would not process… Then I tried calling and no one answered the phone just an automated voicemail… Horrible customer service and we will never try this place again

Came here on vacation was worried I wouldn’t find a good gym, found this gem of a gym. One of the best gyms I’ve been to. Whether you’re here on vacation or live here, this is the place to go. Young or old, new to the gym or advanced, this is the gym for you. Honestly for anyone that enjoys weight training this is the perfect gym. Staff is amazing. Owner is really nice. The equipment is top quality. If I could give 6 stars I would!

I have to say, I’m a sucker for small “hole in the wall” type gyms like this. Absolutely love the variety of equipment they have to train with. I train more on the bodybuilding side and they have some really awesome equipment to keep a solid split for the few days while I’m here. There was only about 6-8 other people in there while I was there so small crowd is a huge plus. Jaime Ibarra was extremely helpful getting me set up to workout there and seems like a great guy overall. Appreciate the hospitality from him and the gym. Will definitely come back here next time I’m in SPI!

It’s a small gym that’s overpriced, has no showers, no lockers, strict rules and has a male manager that overcharges when he shouldn’t (I was a resident on the island and got charged as tourist, 20 extra dollars per month.)

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 job Dianna !!!

We were on vacation from Minnesota for 5 days so we both got the week pass. My wife had a personal training session with Chris while I was able to do box squats outside.(you can't do that in Minnesota!) We both went 4 times and enjoyed the 24/7 access. We plan on being back as we visit the island every few years.

Came here about a year ago on a Saturday morning when I was on the island for a winter wedding. When I came in no one was there and I couldn’t get in. No one picked up for the number I called. Eventually some one who was a member came in and let me in, very thankful.

Good mix of free weights and machines, kind of dark and had some towels if I remember correctly. The price was right and I needed to workout that weekend.

Perfect gym for the island - just big enough that you don't often have to wait for equipment. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable - they can assist those training for an event or someone trying to rehab after an injury. Positive vibe in the place - highly recommend.

This was just what I needed to keep up with my training while on vacation. It was a 7 min walk from where I stay, so great location for me. It had all the basic equipment I needed. I do wish they had bumper plates for deadlifts. It is on a second level shopping center and the floor is a little uneven/wobbly in some areas. They even have an outdoor area, which gives more space. I loved the 24/7 access. Overall a great gym to keep working toward your goals during vacation! I'm very thankful for the flexible membership!

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 can pause it.

Great gym, plenty of machines and equipment, kept clean, super friendly staff

I was here in South Padre for vacation for 4 days, this gym had everything I needed to rotate my target workouts each day. It was never overly busy so I never had an issue getting to use machines/equipment that I wanted to. The price to get in was reasonable to me, especially since they have so many different machines to use.

When I come back, ill be using this gym again.

I’ve been coming to Island Fitness for over 3 years now. The staff is very friendly and professional. They give you a towel and a spray bottle so you’re responsible to wipe down the equipment once you’re done. The gym is very clean and well kept. They are fully equipped and have all the machines you will need in order to get a good workout in.
They also have a smoothie/coffee bar located before you enter the gym. 10/10 recommend these guys!

Great gym! The guys who run this place are super friendly and very welcoming to our family. They have great newer cardio machines (and more than we expected), great workout equipment, and it was very clean. Our daughter loved having smoothies and playing with Mr. Boots, the cat, outside on the deck, while my husband and I worked out. We loved having this gym as our go-to gym for daily workouts while on Christmas vacation. We look forward to training here again on our next trip to SPI!

Great little gym, just about everything you need. The man was very friendly and explained everything thoroughly. Choose this gym, you wont regret it.

For those looking for the entrance:

A great local gym with everything you need on a vacation. Close and accessible from most rent houses from the beach.

PROS: Water = $1 (cheapest bottle of water I ever got a gym)

Hours- opens early enough for me to get in and out by 830

Staff- friendly and supportive. Also great advice from local for things to do.

Price- offers both daily and weekly rates.

Location - never have to leave the island and do not have to fight bridge traffic .

Shop Cat- really nice cat lol

How lucky for SPI to have "Island Fitness", we spend winters on the island, we find the gym clean, modern, with solid equipment. Teran, the owner, truly cares about you achieving your fitness goals and will support you every step of the way. Getting stronger for your sport, or just getting in shape and be healthy. Love the vibe of this place!

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 port isabel.

If you are in Padre and want to get a lift or workout in don't waste your time any where else just come here. This place is truly amazing. They have all of the free weights, machines, snacks you could need. They have a great barbell area for squats, dead lift, and bench. They also had a Smith machine that was straight up and down. I highly recommend you getting your pump on here. Additionally they make phenomenal smoothies for your post workout recovery. Great place to lift, friendly service, will only ever lift here while lifting in Padre.

I was taking an 8 day vacation from the Austin grind, and decided on South Padre. I phoned in advance and spoke with Teran Hughes, who turned out to be the owner, to get the info on his gym. He couldn't have been nicer, and was just the same in person.

This is one of those ideal compact gyms, with the perfect combo of free weights, machines and cardio equipment. The staff is friendly, and they keep the entire place immaculately clean--can't beat that!

I hit the iron all eight days I was there. Island 🌴 Fitness is my gym on my next trip to S Padre. Two thumbs up on this operation--and be sure to say "Howdy" to their mascot Boots when you visit--he's the cat who thinks he's a dog (only kind of cat I like). 👌👌💪💪👍👍😎
