THRC Downtown

Kaitlin Brunett

Love this place!! Downtown is a small gym, but they cap membership numbers so there’s hardly any people there even during peak hours. I’ve never had to wait for a machine to open up or felt uncomfortable by the sheer number of people. The staff are awesome too! They remember my name and greet me every time I come in.

When I first got to San Marcos in 2018, finding a gym was brutal. Many of the places in the area were different, and having come from planet fitness, I hadn’t lifted at a gym that had free weights. I used my apartment gym until the next semester when I changed apartments, and they were still building a gym in that apartment due to renovations. So everyone in my gym got a month's trial because they had a contract with my apartment to do that for a month. I instantly fell in love with the gym, and as soon as the month trial ended, I signed up with the gym. I was a little nervous because of the monthly price and being a college student, but I never ran into payment issues. The way I think about it, it’s like eating out four times a month; if you save that money, then you can pay the monthly payment every month. When they built the downtown location, I started going there because it was closer to my place, and the 24/7 access was super convenient. Being a smaller gym than the more prominent location, it doesn’t feel small. They have everything you need and the space feels like just the right size for you to get your workout done comfortably. I don’t wait long for a squat rack; the gym is always spotless, the people are very respectful about not hogging the equipment, and the friendly workers. You can always go up to them and ask for tips or questions, and they are always open to helping you no matter what. As I’m moving to North Carolina, finding a fantastic gym will be hard; I’ve grown a lot in my fitness journey from the environment alone, the motivation and push from the people there, and their constant encouragement! Shout out to the manager, Natalie Villalobos, for always being professional, friendly, and encouraging! The Trainer Natalie Ornelaz for always giving fantastic diet tips and training tips and for making the environment super comfortable! And lastly, Kaitlyn, the associate, I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve walked in with low motivation, and talking to her gets me pumped up and brightens up my day!! I’m going to miss this gym soo much; I recommend it to anyone coming into the area and people thinking about changing gyms!

I love my gym! THRC & THRC Downtown are the best gyms in San Marcos. They have all the equipment necessary for you to get a good work out in. The staff is always friendly and ready to help.

If you're looking for a gym that will make you excited to workout and keep you motivated, this is the place to go! I joined this gym in March of 2021 and have had nothing but good experiences. I started training with Natalie V., and she completely transformed my workouts. Definitely recommend trying it out!
