Houston Gym

Houston's best independent fitness club...

  • Certified Personal Training
  • State-of-the-Art Facility
  • Variety of Classes to suit ALL

Fifteen years ago, we opened Houston Gym as an alternative to big, impersonal fitness centers with their staff of high-pressure salespeople. We built a facility that boasts leading-edge equipment, yet retains the casual feel of a neighborhood gym. Simply put, Houston Gym is a place for people who are serious about achieving physical fitness. We are committed to providing our members with the tools they need for an effective, efficient and enjoyable exercise program. Our knowledgeable, professional counselors take an active role in each member's individual success, creating an atmosphere of assistance and encouragement. Excellent certified personal training is also available. Come see why we've earned the reputation as a great, fun place to workout!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

A few talking points in addition to my 5 star rating. 1) Houston gym is a no BS gym... When pro bodybuilders choose to call a gym home, it says alot about the facility. It says the equipment is straight forward, to the point, and gets the job done. It also says alot about the fundamental equipment necessary to build bodies of that caliber...those bases are all covered. Oh about those bodybuilders....each and every one of them is friendly, funny, and it’s obvious they are passionate about sharing their knowledge w/ clients/members. Also, there is no lap pool, sauna or fancy smoothie bar, and that’s exactly the point. Tanning and massage however are available.... 2) Houston gym is a friendly gym w/ positive energy... From day one I noticed a positive energy that was lacking in other gyms (been a member at Gold’s, and FIT in the past). Blame this on the motivated members and trainers, as well as the close knit environment this local gym boasts. What’s this energy I'm talking about? Ever work out at an apartment complex workout room? If so you know what a gym feels like that has NO energy...this is no good, and sure as hell no fun. 3) The trainers are excellent... I can only speak for one (Cedric), and more on him in a moment. First, it’s obvious each trainer has a different style and intensity level, which is great for customers w/ different goals. I have never been in a gym w/ as many consistently booked training staff...again making the point that these guys know their stuff and clients get results. As far as Cedric is concerned, this guy is excellent. His workouts are direct, to the point, potent, and effective. 4) Customer Service, Billing and Parking... Customer Service is on point. I'm greeted w/ a hello or handshake from staff and given a good evening/morning when leaving. Billing is on point. I had one issue actually, and it was fixed in less than 24hrs. Parking. I've come at 6am, and 6pm. I've NEVER had a problem.

Pros: Location, Trainers, Ambience (Energy)

Cons: I can see this gym getting more popular, potential to get crowded, however not as of yet

Every time I come to the gym I have a great experience. Not only is the staff friendly and helpful, but the patrons are also. This is a gym where people come to get in shape. You are not left on you own, there is help when needed. I have beloned to at least 5 gyms and this is the best.

Pros: the people and equipment

Cons: none
