American Fitness Center

5/5– First day here and already hooked! Just checked out American Fitness in New Braunfels for the first time today, and wow..what a great spot! Walking in, it immediately hit me with that classic old-school gym vibe: no fancy frills or overwhelming lights, just a solid, straightforward place built for real workouts. It feels authentic and right in the best way. The staff was super friendly right off the bat.. they greeted me warmly, showed me around without any pressure, and made me feel welcome as a total newbie. The equipment layout is spot-on; everything flows logically so you can move through your session easily..no hunting around or awkward crowding. They’ve got a ton of free weights, machines, and space that just makes sense. The people training here seem awesome too they seem focused, respectful, and friendly without any ego. It’s nothing like the big corporate chains (Gold’s Gym, Lifetime, Anytime Fitness, etc.), and honestly, that’s exactly why I loved it. This place has a real community feel, like a local gem where everyone’s just there to get after it. Super impressed for a first visit. If you’re in New Braunfels and want something genuine and welcoming, definitely give it a try…I’m already planning to come back!

I had an amazing experience coming in and Amber really set the tone of how the place is. (She remembered my name and our conversation). It’s nice and clean, the protein smoothies are at a reasonable price - including the points you get from signing in and buying their products. They also have a great community here. Coming in is something I look forward after work and I always appreciate the way I feel after leaving the gym. Thank you for an awesome experience!

I enjoy American Fitness in New Braunfels! Great variety of equipment, lots of StairMasters, and everything is indoors so it’s never too hot. Bathrooms are usually clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. It can get crowded, but I just go at quieter times. Overall, a solid gym.

Love this place!! Been going here since I was about 15 years old when Ron use to own the gym. Jay the owner is awesome, runs a great gym and has amazing convenient hours. Wide variety of machines, a win all around.

I been going to this gym since early 2000’s and after all these years it’s still the best gym in NB! A great family owned local business with a lot of space and a good variety of equipment and free weights. Whether you’re just starting out or serious and training for an upcoming meet you will find others here to relate too. The environment is always positive with a small town feel. You can’t get this kind of atmosphere at a corporate gym so come out and join the American Fitness family.

I do enjoy this gym, BUT... The facility is nice, clean, great equipment that they fix very quick if broken. The staff is very attentive and kind. Even have bonus stuff like InBody, smoothies, and a sauna! MY ONLY QUALM with this place, is TOO MANY KIDS ARE ALLOWED IN. I dont mean 18/19 year olds. I mean like 6, 8 or 10 year olds. I come to workout to get away from everything else and pump some iron with like-minded adults, and kids break that illusion for me. Im not saying 1 or 2 kids... its like 5 or 6 at a time. I just don't think a gym is somewhere they should be, especially at this frequency.

I switched to this gym from golds and such a better experience. It does get busy at times but I’ve never had to wait for equipment . Plenty of machines , different varieties , facility is clean and staff is nice . Bathroom is always clean , sauna is nice and they have a smoothie bar , supplements and a drink cooler .
