More Than a Gym.

Built to Change Lives.

Built on Purpose. Proven Through Adversity.

Hixon Fitness & Athletics was founded in August 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic It was a time when opening a new gym seemed impossible. What began with a vision and a commitment to serving others has grown into one of New Braunfels' premier private fitness facilities through the unwavering support of our members, the dedication of our team, and a refusal to compromise our standards.

From day one, we've believed that integrity is non-negotiable. We choose the right path over the easy one, invest in people over shortcuts, and remain committed to providing an exceptional experience for every member who walks through our doors. That philosophy has shaped our culture, earned the trust of our community, and continues to guide everything we do.

Today, Hixon Fitness & Athletics stands as a reflection of what can be built when a community rallies behind a shared vision, exceptional people refuse to lower their standards, and every decision is guided by doing what's right, not simply what's easy.

Owner / Founder

Jake Hixon

Founder and CEO of Hixon Fitness & Athletics, Jake Hixon founded the gym in August 2020 with a vision to redefine what a fitness facility could be. After more than 13 years of coaching and managing fitness centers throughout Central Texas, he recognized an opportunity to build something different where relationships mattered, coaching came before sales, and every member was treated as an individual rather than a membership number.

Jake earned his Bachelor's degree in Health and Fitness Management from Texas State University with a minor in Business Administration. He is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach, combining evidence-based training with practical coaching strategies that help clients build sustainable, long-term results.

His experience working with thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds has shaped both his coaching philosophy and the culture of Hixon Fitness & Athletics. Under his leadership, the gym has become known for its commitment to integrity, exceptional service, an unwavering standard of excellence, and values that continue to guide every decision made within the company.

Since opening Hixon Fitness & Athletics, Jake has helped grow the facility into one of New Braunfels' premier private coaching gyms, serving hundreds of members through a philosophy built on education, accountability, and genuine relationships
