A Friendly Neighborhood Gym in Austin, TX — no music, no chrome, no corporate contracts. Just iron, grit, and community since day one.
"In the heart of Austin sits an oasis of iron that time forgot."
Hyde Park Gym isn't just the city's oldest barbell gym — it's a time capsule of grit, heritage, and Old Austin soul. An institution where there is no music, no chrome, and no corporate contracts. Just the rhythmic clanging of 50-year-old dumbbells and the stories of the legends who built them by hand.
Founded by legends like Mike Graham and Dave Goodin, our 7,500 sq ft facility on Guadalupe St is home to powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, bodybuilders, strongmen, and everyday athletes alike.
What you will find is 7,500 square feet of exercise equipment, including gear for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, strongman, bodybuilding, and standard strength training — plus independent coaches to fit every goal.
