Best gym I’ve ever been to. It’s like CrossFit, but they remove all the stupid exercises that injure people. Great community and coaches.

I recently started coming here and I’m really enjoying it so far. I’d never done this kind of workout before, but the coaches are great at giving pointers, correcting you when needed, and pushing you a little outside your comfort zone each time. I already feel a big difference in my energy throughout the day and I’m starting to see changes in my appearance too. Great atmosphere and overall a really positive experience. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

If you want to change your life, this place is for you to do it. My first day was during Bring Your Friends Week. It was the middle of summer and we passed “hot” 10 degrees ago. It kicked my ass and I had to cool off in front of a giant fan. But despite the rough first day, I came back. I was hooked. I’ve gone 52 times since then, and there’s nothing I’d trade it for. The programming is amazing and keeps things challenging while also showing you how far you’ve come. The coaches are awesome and the laughter is frequent.

Best gym ever. Incredibly knowledgeable coaches who drive challenging workouts and created an amazing community. I started as a novice lifter who now has great technique bc their guidance. Atomic is my favorite part of the day and my favorite part of living in Austin. Update 10/2026: Coaches Raul and Haley gave the best form demonstration for bench press today. And then Tod took the time to fix my RDL in class. You get top-notch coaching throughout each session, from lifelong athletes. The best. Update 12/2024: yesterday was the best gym day. We wrapped a 10-week lifting program, after which I was able to increase my bench press from 4->7 reps at a heavy load and my squat from 5 --> 21 reps. The coaches are so encouraging and the programming is spot-on if you want to show up, work hard, and make gains!

Atomic has become a huge and awesome part of my routine just about 10 weeks in. I joined during one of the bring your friends week, and it has rocked ever since.

My boyfriend and I joined a few weeks ago thinking we'd give it a try, and now we can't imagine our week without it. From day one, everyone has been incredibly welcoming, the coaches are knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping you improve, and the workouts somehow manage to be challenging and fun at the same time. It's the kind of place that makes you actually look forward to working out. It doesn't take long to realize this is way more than just a gym. The community is what makes it special. You can tell people genuinely want to be there, and it's been so easy to feel like part of the group. If you're on the fence about joining, do it. We couldn't be happier that we did!

I’ve been going for a month now and notice the difference in strength and form. I love the support and encouragement for the team and all women here are here lifting heavy which I love. I’m inspired by the athletes here and can measure progress with the programs they have. Get ready to be sweaty! I’m very sore everywhere and I love it.

LFG Stella! Love having you here!

Completely worth the money. It actually feels like I’m getting a huge deal: my form is being corrected, I’m being pushed way more than I was working out alone, and saving money on coffee shops with their coworking space. The vibe of this place is so good! So glad I decided to go with this gym instead of another more expensive one and the same area. Tod and all of the coaches are so knowledgeable and also fun. A million stars!

Hell ya Allie - appreciate you!

As a recovering CrossFit devotee with 22 years of Army aviation wear-and-tear on my joints, I needed smart, athletic programming that didn't beat my body into the ground. I started at Atomic on a punch card alongside my old gym, but quickly noticed I kept burning through my Atomic punches. Once I sat down with Tod (cool-ass grumpy Santa dude) to understand the sports science, intent, and periodization behind the cycles, I went all in with an unlimited membership. The floor operates like organized chaos at first glance, but every screen, tempo, and round has deliberate intention behind it. The workouts will absolutely kick your ass and you may spend 20 minutes recovering in your car before feeling safe to drive home, yet the programming is built for long-term health, strength, and durability. Between the thoughtful programming, the accountability texts to keep you honest, and a community of people putting in real work, Atomic is second to none. Five stars all day.
