I don't tend to write a lot of reviews but Dane's definitely deserves one. Much like a lot of people, it'd been a long time since I'd worked out and I'd put on some weight over the pandemic that I wanted to shed. I had no idea what I was doing, so I wanted a place that would not be intimidating and would work w/ me where I was at. W/ Dane's, I found a place that had classes 6/7 days a week, 2 locations and many great coaches. The classes are challenging but as others have said, can be modified to be easier or tougher to suit your level. I can't tell you how helpful it was to see people of all shapes, sizes and #'s of abs all doing the same workouts (and all being challenged in some way or another). The coaches are very nice and supportive and provide good feedback without ever feeling like intimidating or talking down to you. As a result, I've dropped about 25 lbs in the past year, found muscles I didn't know I had and have had less back/shoulder/neck pain than I've had in years. While it is probably more expensive than most gyms, they deliver on exactly what they promise- they make it so easy such that all you really have to do is sign up for a class online and then show up...that's literally the hardest part. After that, just do what the coaches say, have fun and be proud of your results and hard work. As I move away from Austin, Dane's is one of the places I'm going to miss the most, so I hope that someone reading this message can come and take my place so Dane's can continue to be around for as long as possible!

Can't say enough good things about my experience at Dane's! I came by for a tour and joined for a workout the following week. The workout was challenging and intentionally-programmed. Chad is a gem! I will definitely be back.

The Shop is a very inclusive gym with very supportive members. The coaches will always modify and help you with any workout. Between the strength, fusion, and running classes, the schedule is flexible and there is something for everyone.

I'll start here. I am biased. 11 years I think? Ummm but wanted to say. I'm 56. Not who I was 11Y ago. Blew knee out...another obsession/boxing and can't do much. Kids hate me....it's been 4 days since I worked out! So, had to get back. Booked Keith's noonish strength class and felt so much better. He helped me modify. Not a rare thing here-- any "thing" that comes up, regardless of coach, they will make sure you are not only alright but feel good about what you could accomplish. Love this community.

I’ve been going to Dane’s Body Shop since 2011. Not only have I enjoyed the workouts and managed to stay semi-fit/active but I’ve made lifelong friends. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a community with your fitness.

Joined dane's to kickstart my fitness after a period of inactivity. Within 6 months I saw noticeable improvement in my strength, flexibility, and overall comfort in moving. Every single trainer (and Ive gone to several) is a consummate professional, and the overall atmosphere is very inviting and positive.

I've been working out at the Body Shop for a few months now and really enjoy it. The workouts are always tough and the instructors are top notch. They also have early classes that fit with my schedule. 10/10 would recommend.
