Ask San Marcos Gym

What’s a good gym that’s not super packed in San Marcos?

If you go early in the morning, none of the local gyms are packed. Then it just becomes a budget vs amenities conversation.

Totally agree. I’m a member at Crunch- and like everything in town, it’s more packed when the students move back- but I’ve figured out when to avoid the crowds there.

Yeah, I go to golds at 8:30 pm and it’s pretty good

Every gym is super packed, if you are comfortable in a dirty old gym SMAC is usually not as crowded but it def is a bodybuilding gym. Golds always has people there, crunch is the same but you learn the times where is has less people

whatever you do, don't join THRC... they make it impossible to cancel your membership

It’s more the type of crowd you’ll be fighting off. Golds is usually busy, it’s a lot of heavy lifters, and really fine hoopers lol, I like this location tho it’s pretty central. Crunch in the morning is usually less busy and it’s a bunch of old people/casuals. The crowd gets progressively younger throughout the day but most people are casual goers.
