all fitness levels and dogs welcome. clearly, by the amount of personal testimony this is a beloved gym. after years of bouncing around houston's gyms (bally's, fit, ymca) i found my gym that is my home away from home to work out at timberline.

there are so many great things about timberline, i will try to capture many of them here:

1. the people- the staff can work with any fitness level and is supportive and helpful to all. plus they're FUN and they make working out fun.

2. the clients- some of the nicest people. that said, do not feel that this is social club. if you want to come and workout and go on with your day-that's cool just expect lots of people to smile at you, including your fellow workout company.

3. dogs-they have really nice kennels in the parking lot if you hate to leave your dog cooped up inside while you run off to the gym you can bring fido! plus, some of the trainers bring their dogs to the gym from time to time and it always makes my day to see a 4 legged friend at the gym.

4. variety- there is SO much to do here. you have the choice to work out on your own, with a personal trainer, with a personal trainer in a small group or in class. then, the equipment is crazy varied-want to box? cool. like those kettle bells-they got 'em. ride a stationary bike-you'll bowled over by the crazy bikes they have (go see 'em!), aerobic equipment, weights, and more. then the trainers are great and keep workouts varied so you're guaranteed to not get bored. finally the classes- check the website and you'll see what i'm talking about. but for those of you that get bored easily -well, you won't have that excuse at timberline.

Best Gym & Personal Trainers in Houston!. I have been a member of Timberline for over two years. After just my second time there, they were greeting me by my name. Timberline feels like a family - complete with holiday parties and friendly competitions. The personal trainers are great - I highly recommend April, with whom I have been regularly training since I joined. At Timberline, there are none of the hassles that are inevitable at larger gyms: lockers, membership cards, lines at machines, parking problems, annoying service fees, rude people, etc. The people are friendly - including the members - and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. I actually look forward to going to the gym!

Best gym in town, hands down. Timberline's got to be the best gym I've ever been at. No matter what your physical goal is, they'll help you achieve it. Their personal trainers are incredibly nice and really know what's best for you. They also have the newest machines for everything, and they take good care of them; the facilities are very clean all the time. They also have very interesting classes such as Boxing or specific abs work out. Last but not least: the location. The gym is located in the Museum District (Montrose), next to Saint Thomas University. It is probably the most quiet and greenest area in Houston, so I can't think of a better place to run a gym. Have fun and get fit at Timberline!

No doubt the best gym in Texas. Most of the work going on here is with the guidence of personal trainers, all of whom have professional certification and are true professionals. This gym is the complete opisite of the sign them up after Christmas and everone is gone by February. I have been going to this gym for the last 5 years, and will be here as long as I live in Houston.

Basicly this is a great place with outstanding staff and ownership.

Going Back - The best way to get your heath and fitness back on track.. Timberline is absolutely, hands down the best place I have ever worked out at. I had put exercise too far down on my to do list while in college. Once I graduated, I tried to get back into exercising but just couldn't keep it going. I attended one of Jeff's Boot Camps and rediscovered what I loved about working out. I thought that I wouldn't want to work out in a gym but in my Boot Camp group I have fun, laugh, and am motivated by the other cadets (boot campers). I have kept with it for over a year and find myself exercising on my own in addition to attending boot camp twice a week. What I do in Boot Camp; I would never do on my own which is why I know I need it :)

An incredibly talented and supportive group of trainers, varieties of exercise, and a great ambiance; no wonder I always look forward to going there.

Thank you Timberline and thank you JEFF!!!

Best gym ever (or should I say Fitness Studio as it so much more than a gym)!. Like many others, I had been unable to maintain a workout schedule on my own. Jeff is a great trainer (I never before considered having a personal trainer...) who keeps me motivated, is always curious about any recent activities that affects my workouts, and is very concerned about me achieving the objectives we set out, like strecthing and flexability. My results have been remarkable, and only getting better and better. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, all the trainers know you. In short it is a very condusive atmospher for success!

The best gym in town!!. So, let me tell you about myself...I NEVER was able to stick to a workout no matter what gym I went to. I have been working with a personal trainer at Timberline for more than a year now. Timberline is my extended family and I look forward to seeing everyone there each time I go there! My Timberline family has brought a revolution to the way I look at workout and healthy eating. Everyone knows each other by first name, and we are all laughing and enjoying every minute we are there. I would recommend anyone to come and check out the best excercising atmosphere in Houston!!!

Best gym in Houston. If you're serious about your workout this is the place to go. I joined last November and immediately started working out with one of Timberline's trainer's -- Karen Peden ("KP"). KP is awesome -- every workout is different. She changes it up every time, so you're challenged at every workout. She combines cardio with the weights, so you're really getting your heart rate up. It has really motivated me to work out again. The gym also offers classes (free to members) that are also great workouts. They're all small -- sometimes its just a couple of people -- and you get a great pilates workout. All in all, this is a great place to work out --

Best personal trainers hands down. Easily the single best workout experience in Houston. All of the staff are very friendly and it feels a bit like Cheers, everyone knows your name. The facilities are excellent but the main reason to go is the personal trainers. These people know their stuff. Be forewarned, if Wooch says, "it will change the dynamic a bit" you are about to be in for a serious workout. Definitely 2 thumbs up!
