It's mainly women but there are some men and it's an all ages thing. Exercise, jam to the latest hits and some older ones and put a little dance in your step. It's pretty cheap for unlimited classes,about $35 a month, no contracts. Check the www.jazzercise.com to find one in your area, prices are different for each place because they are independent francises. I like the Northwest Recreation one myself.

The instructors here offer classes in Krav Maga, Core Fitness, and Kickboxing/Fight Fitness. They use methods I had not seen before, such as using kettle bells as weights in the core classes. There are usually less than 20 people in each class, so you get the individual attention you might from a personal trainer. It's not a true gym as it's more focused on teaching the martial art of Krav Maga. So don't expect to find weight machines here -- classes only.

You really feel like you are a part of the community here as soon as you step in the door. You easily become both a student and a teacher -- more a teacher as you advance belts of course. Master Blankenship is a very wise man and shares what he knows with everyone. There is no pressure here and everyone truly helps everyone else. You will make friends for life.
Again, you know I love websites: http://www.blankenshipmartialarts.com/

The ladies here are very nice and not nearly as harsh with your hands and feet as in some other mani/pedi places. I got both a French manicure and pedicure done here for my wedding, and it turned out very pretty. My sister got tips and manicure and hers was also very nice. The only complaint that I had was that it chipped away in less than 4 days... but it made it through the wedding!

This place is great to buy gifts. They have everything you need for the spa. I personally love to buy gift certificates and give them out for special occasions. They specialize in lotions, scrubs, and soaps. And of course they have loofas. This place is located right downtown off seventh street and the parking is good too.

I recently started going to Pink after reading some positive reviews of it elsewhere. I have been about three times since then, and I really love it. I brought in a photo of a hairstyle I liked and for the first time ever, it came out exactly like the photo. The prices for services are reasonable for a high quality (but hardly stuffy) salon. I even love the inside of the salon and little boutique where they carry locally made accessories. I recommend it completely if you're in the market for a new salon.

24 Hour Fitness is just another typical gym in Austin. They have a good variety of aerobics classes, but most are overfilled. It's next to impossible to make it into a spinning class due to the crowds. I'd recommend this gym only if you have the opportunity to work out during the day on the weekdays. Otherwise, you'll be fighting for equipment and classes.

This place is fantastic. The equipment is very up to date. You have the opportunity to work out outside. They have a running trail in the back for the same purpose. There is a great variety of classes for you to take and enough room for everyone. Of course, with all of these great perks, there comes a hefty pricetag. However, this is by far the best gym in Austin. Join if you can afford it!

I am in my twenties and was a bit young for this place. However, if I were a bit older, it would be the perfect place for me. There is no pressure about looks as there are people here of each body type. They have a trainer on the floor to help you learn how to use the equipment. They also have a very helpful (and free) equipment reservation system for the cardio machines. There is a great variety of classes including things such as water aerobics and fitness balls. And the classes are never too full as there is a reservation system for these as well. Be sure to show up early!
