Great gym. Helpful and friendly community. I was only in Austin for two weeks, they gave me a good deal and I worked out there every day. The trainers are all CrossFit athletes and took a lot of time to explain the techniques to me. I'm looking forward to training there again.

Great relaxed community feel. The coaches and members/clients are super friendly. When you join a gym, you’re there to improve and you can tell the staff cares and is there to help. I am training for Hyrox, and I was practicing pushing the heavy sled. I’m a petite (short) lady trying to push 335lbs, and the trainers saw me struggling with my footing. They were so helpful - giving me tips to position my arms, hands and upper body which instantly helped me move the sled. That one tip helped saved me time and mental fatigue trying to figure it out.

Everyone was kind and welcoming—several people came up and introduced themselves and even helped me find the equipment I needed without me having to ask. The coach was knowledgeable and attentive, which is something you do not always find in gyms like this anymore. I also got to meet the owner, Chris- you can tell right away how much heart and care he has put into building this community.

I recently dropped in at North Austin Strong for a couple weeks while I was in town. Chris and all the coaches were very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. They are exceptional in their attentiveness to ensure quality movement and their ability to push people to improve in their individual capacities. Thanks for letting me workout with y'all and making me feel like part of your community! I will make sure to drop in again whenever I am in the area.

Chris is an incredible trainer—knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. He pays attention to form, pushes you just enough, and tailors each session to your goals and fitness level. I’ve seen a huge difference in my strength, stamina, and confidence since working with him. Highly recommend Chris if you’re looking for someone who brings both expertise and encouragement to every workout!

I dropped into North Austin Strong while on vacation and was so glad I found this place! It was super close to where I was staying and had everything a CrossFitter needs for a great workout. I joined several classes, and every coach I met was knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel welcome right away.
Chris, one of the owners, greeted me by name, and the entire community — coaches and members alike — were incredibly nice and inviting. The atmosphere here is great, and the box is well-equipped and clean.
If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking out North Austin Strong. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town and am excited to continue my fitness journey with them!

I have been working out at home with YouTube and apps for the past 5 years but I was barely maintaining my baseline of fitness. As perimenopause reveals itself more and more, I knew I needed to build my strength and mobility now before it all really hit the fan. North Austin Strong checks all the boxes for an amazing health and wellness facility that is family and beginner friendly.
- clean, well-maintained facility
- friendly staff
- even friendlier customers (as adults it can be hard to make new friends…not here! Everyone is kind and excited to see new faces)
- family-friendly! There is a safe office space with toys for kids and most social events are also kid friendly
- excellent music selection
- programming that leaves you feeling strong and challenged but not destroyed. I’m really impressed with the programming so far.
- Spanish and English speaking
- well priced for the exceptional value provided
If you know you need to workout…if you know you need to make new friends and find a community…if you know aging is coming for you and you want to be a sexy 80-something, get in here.

Strongly recommend North Austin Strong for anyone looking to join XFit in and around North Austin. Been going here for around 6 months now..Chris and team have built an amazing environment that is welcoming at core and inspires us work towards our fitness goals with passion and consistency. The coaching team puts the focus on techniques and methods, yet are empathetic and flexible to scale workouts to meet individual goals or constraints. Members of the community are equally friendly, goal-oriented and encouraging enabling us to focus on our objectives and building our fitness journey!.

Great environment to workout whether you’re an Athlete or beginner. It was my first time doing CrossFit and the owner Chris was great at going over the movements slower and making sure I knew what was going on. The members are really great and welcoming as well. I had a couple issue with my account by Chris is really great at working with everyone individually and meeting the needs. Would definitely recommend Slothfit for anyone looking for a CrossFit gym in North Austin!

Really fantastic place to drop in to, a home away from home, super cozy. All of the coaches are experienced and provide great cues, and they accommodate newbies and experienced athletes as needed. They have distinct warm up, skill/ strength, and conditioning components in their 1hr classes. Highly recommend you drop in and check them out - plenty of space and options to suit your workout needs. Just reach out in advance and you’ll be good to go.
I’ll be back!

Slothfit is great! Who wouldn't want to go to a CrossFit gym with a sloth as its mascot?!
Chris, owner of Slothfit, and his team are really welcoming and accommodating. During my 3 years in Austin, I have visited 4 CrossFit gyms. Slothfit has been my favorite of them all because of the friendliness of the members and coaches, the focus on rehabilitation and lifting in a sustainable way, and because the owner really cares about his gym members and retaining them as customers.

I'm a slothfit kinda girl...which I never knew until I joined this gym family. :-)
I know one of the owners and was invited to attend a class on trial. The coach, Chris, that I work with is FREAKING AMAZING. He is also smart and super cool. Those are all truthful things. :-)
Here is the deal: I'm a little chunky and not a super gym girl. I'm learning how to modify the workout to feel good about my progression under the watchful eye of the coaches. They care deeply about the members of the gym. It's a GREAT gym family and I honestly love being part of it.
I am so glad that we gave it a shot. The classes are great, there is a lot of talent and you can push yourself at a higher level easily within a class or hang out doing some modifications like me and still feel like a badass.
Grateful for the SlothFit fam. I'm sold....you guys gotta stay open forever now. :-P

SlothFit is the first gym I’ve been to where I really feel like I belong. I’ve been coming here regularly for almost 3 years, and I’ve never been shamed or judged for being a newbie.
I never used to identify as athletic. I was turned off by the “bro culture” I witnessed around free weights. Before this, I’ve dabbled with high intensity training, but I didn’t find it engaging or fun. The staff at SlothFit are friendly, down to earth, and super helpful. No “bros” here, just men and women who are interested in helping you take your fitness to the next level.

Woodward CrossFit is my home! I started doing CrossFit for the first time almost 3 years ago here for the trial period and never stopped coming. I never ever thought I would be interested in doing CF and I'm SO happy that I tried it. The coaches, owners, and my classmates are the best and truly care about you and are there to help you wether it's your first time working out period or you have been doing CF for years. I've never felt out of place here or like I didn't belong. Woodward embraced me with open arms from the start! This will always be my gym!

Woodward Crossfit is amazing! I moved to Texas almost 2 years ago, didn't know many people here and wanted to find a new gym. Stumbled across woodward and started with the New You 6 week program and have been here ever since! Not only is everyone super welcoming and nice, but all the coaches are great. They emphasize your safety first while pushing you to grow as an athlete. I've come so far from where I started and have made some amazing friends :)

This place is awesome!! Professional trainers and friendly environment. I joined about 3 weeks ago, I didn't know any move. They trained me and the coaches keep an eye to correct my moves when I do it wrong. I have been training mainly with coach Mitch, and he is great!! Not everyone in the class is at the same level, but he guides everyone and everybody motivate each other. Great trainers, if you are thinking about joining crossfit, well stop searching and join us!!

Woodward Crossfit is the best! I've been going for over two years and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I go to the 530 am class and I really feel like I'm missing something when I don't go. I like to go for the camaraderie and one-on-one communication with the coaches. I think that's what sets Woodward apart.

I enjoyed my time at Woodward for the last year or so. I moved to a new city, and when I emailed to cancel my membership a few days before leaving, was told there is a 30 day cancellation policy and I'll be charged for the next month (during which I'm in a new city). For a $150-$200 a month gym, that is absurd. For reference, Time Warner Cable (a company with a horrible customer service rating) let me cancel the day that I called them, and they actually have to disconnect equipment. My apartment only required 30 days, and they have to find new tenants!
While you do get a better quality gym than golds or 24 hr fitness for your (significantly higher) cost, don't expect them to put any less effort into extracting every last penny out of you they can. Read the fine print, maybe by now they've added in some extra cancellation fees or something as well. Really wish I could've given them a better review...

I never thought I'd say that I do Crossfit. Never say never, I guess! It's only been a month, and what a difference I feel already. The team here are so incredibly supportive, motivational, and fun to workout with. I honestly had no idea I would enjoy it so much, and it helps that I was immediately welcomed and made to feel safe when I first showed up. I have tried so many other gyms and workout routines, but nothing has kept my interest and kept me motivated like coming to Woodward every morning before the sun comes up!

There is a reason almost every review of this gym is a five star review. The coaches and the atmosphere at the gym is phenomenal. I miss this place whenever I cant make it to a class. Earlier I had never felt that way about working out.
I am so glad I gave Woodwards and Crossfit a try. This is one of the best parts of my day now.

I am baffled by how badly I’ve been treated in the past week by Woodward. I’ve always had such positive experiences with the coaches at Woodward, so when I decided to move away from Austin, finding a new place to Crossfit was one of the definite cons. I never thought it would be such a nightmare to quit Woodward though. I sent an email back in April to Andria telling her that my last day at Woodward would be May 15th and I never heard anything back, so I assumed everything was good to go. I attended my last class the Monday of that week, May 12th. This week, I was mistakenly charged the $150 for another month. I’m in the middle of an already stressful move, so the disappearance of $150 was distressing to say the least. I was promptly told that there was absolutely no way I would get a full refund and they could only give me $75 back. I protested – I clearly had cancelled my membership and I hadn’t attended any classes past the expiration date – there was no reason to charge me for the last half of the month. Well, apparently that’s not good enough.
Now, Andria won’t even answer my emails and I’m being completely ignored. I haven’t received any money back at all and I’m out $150 for a membership I can’t use even though I told them in April that I wouldn’t be renewing. Apparently, once you leave Woodward, you’re not worth the dirt under their feet because that’s how I’ve been treated throughout this entire process. I want my full $150 back. I clearly communicated May 15th would be my last day and I did not attend classes past that date. I am entitled to a full refund and it is just unethical and bad business not to give me it.
I do not want to think ill of Woodward – I loved my time there and Pam and Marshall are A+ human beings and coaches. I’m sorry to think that this will be my parting memory because it has really soured me on the entire Crossfit experience. From where I’m standing, money seems to be the number one priority with the administration of Woodward, not happy clients.

As a fellow crossfitter visiting from out of town, I needed a good box to go to so my daily regimen wouldn't falter. After a quick search and finding WoodWard, I couldn't have been more pleased! They welcomed me in like family from the start! The program they run is very well designed and tailored to accomodate those of all levels.
This place has become my home-away-from-home and whenever I'm in Austin there is no other place I'd even imagine going. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Woodward Crossfit = Quality. Not only does the coaching staff have the experience of sports and fitness they also have the educational background. Which gives peace of mind to me that I am not being told something because someone saw it in a video. What makes Woodward special to me is the various programs they have outside of just Crossfit. If I wanted to work on my strength, I'd ask about strongman workouts, or if I wanted to focus gymnastics I would ask about the next gymnastic seminar, or if I wantd to train for a half marathon I would ask the Ironwill endurance training program, or really hit my diet hard, I'd talk to...well probably any of the coaching staff. Can't forget about Oleg and his years of experience with Olympic Weightlifting. AMAZING!

I have been going to Woodward CF for about two and half months and from day one it has been an awesome experience and I was instantly hooked. The coaches are really involved with the members and they are genuinely interested in helping you reach your maximum fitness potential. I believe Woodward is unrivaled when it comes to creating a true community of fitness. The culture that the coaches have created has become deeply rooted in everyone, the cheering and support for eachother during everyday WODs is a direct result of that. New members are quickly welcomed and you know you are a part of the family from your very first WOD. The facilities are great and always kept neat and clean and offer other member amenities like a child care room and showers. If you are looking for "box" that is focused on fitness and most of all having fun together as a community you MUST go to Woodward CF. Special shout out to the evening coaches Brian, Dave, and Salah who are some of the best motivators and people dedicated to the Woodward community.

If you've been considering Crossfit, you have to try Woodward. They have EVERYTING...many workout times to fit any schedule, an olympic weight lifting room (coached by a former olympian), strength class, and strongman class! It is an amazing gym and group of coaches and people. I can't imagine being anywhere else!
