Over the past few months in Austin, I’ve been exploring everything from Pilates studios and yoga classes to scenic walking trails and challenging hikes. Along the way, I’ve discovered spots that not only keep me motivated on my 35+ pound weight loss journey 🎉 but also make working out something I look forward to.
This list brings together my favorite finds — the studios where the energy is contagious, the outdoor trails that double as therapy sessions, and the hiking paths that remind me why Austin is such an amazing city to live in. Each recommendation includes why I love it, what kind of workout or vibe you can expect, and the type of community you’ll find there.
Whether you’re looking for your next Pilates class, a refreshing outdoor walk, or a new hiking challenge, I hope this guide helps you discover your own go-to spots in Austin.
