Crenshaw was founded in 1949 as one of the first private gymnastic studios in the United States. In May of 1984, the club made its present move to 5000 Fairview and became one of the most prestigious gymnastics facility in the country. The programs under Gil and Candace Elsass now include Gymnastics, Swimming, Pre-school Education, After School Care, Birthday Parties and an Adult Fitness Center. Crenshaw is also a pioneer in creating a popular program called Palaestra which is a unique combination of academics and athletics for preschoolers. The facility offers a complete weight room, a 440' indoor running track, a 40' heated lap and aerobic pool, whirlpool, steam and sauna. The club also offers water workout classes for senior citizens with limited movement. A no contract policy made Crenshaw unique among fitness centers. Crenshaw Athletic Club is located on the northwest side of beautiful Austin, Texas. The facility houses a fully equipped 12,000 square foot Gymnasium, Indoor Heated Pool, Spa, Steam Sauna, Assorted Classrooms, Fully Equipped Weight Room, Indoor Running Track and Locker Rooms for our adult fitness program. Take time to come by and tour the facility and ask about special programs for children and adults. Crenshaw truly is 'A Full Family Fitness Center.' .
