YTX Yoga Wins Best Gym/Studio of the Year at the 2025 Sweatpals Awards
The Sweatpals community has spoken, and the winner of Best Gym/Studio of the Year goes to YTX Yoga in Austin. This recognition celebrates more than just a fitness studio—it honors a space where people return again and again for consistency, care, and community in a world that never stops moving.
More Than a Wellness Studio
Founded by Ryan Smith in 2012, YTX Yoga has evolved from its yoga studio roots into something much bigger. Today, the studio offers multiple modalities including Yoga, Pilates, Strength training, and HIIT, creating a gathering place where members transform both on and off their mats. What started as a desire to create a space where people could show up fully has blossomed into a community that values connection, healing, and evolution alongside movement.
The community grew from that original desire to build a space where people could return for consistency, care, and community. Not just to move, but to connect, heal, and evolve together. YTX became a gathering place with multiple modalities such as Yoga, Pilates, Strength training, and HIIT where members transform on and off their mats.
Creating Space for Real Connection
The studio's most memorable experience this year was their Summer Sunset Outdoor Yoga Series. Feeling the energy of hundreds of people sharing a single moment reminded everyone that YTX isn't just about fitness—it's about creating space for real connection. Those outdoor classes captured the magic that happens when community gathers around movement and intention.
This is what keeps people coming back. You leave feeling lighter, not just because you moved your body, but because you showed up fully and connected with others doing the same. YTX reminds people that in a fast-moving world, there are still places where you can slow down, be present, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
Looking Ahead to 2026
This win celebrates the energy YTX brings, the experience they deliver, and the people they've brought together through movement. We love seeing communities like this thrive and create spaces where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. Congratulations to YTX Yoga on this well-deserved recognition. You've built more than a place to work out—you've created a home base for consistency, confidence, and community. 🏆✨
