Sad to leave this place. Moving to CO and I have to say, this place has been awesome. Great staff, great machines, a little small for how many machines they have, but it has a great iron feel. Stay Classy Houston Gym!

I am new to this gym, but I already love everything about it. The clients are respectful, and it feels like a family here. In addition, my trainer John is fantastic. He makes me feel welcomed and comfortable, BUT do not be fooled by his kindness. He will push you, and your body will be sore after training. I recommend this gym to anyone looking for a change, to be motivated, or to be part of something positive.

I love this gym. Great location and great equipment but the best part is the gym is so friendly and helpful, especially the staff. Big John, what can I say about this man but I totally love his training. He takes the time and listens, prepares and gets you to your goals. It’s a love/hate but I wouldn’t trade him for the world…. Look for him when you go to visit, you will not be disappointed. Big John knows what he is doing and has a program for you!!!!!!

Becoming a member and working out at Houston Gym has made me excited about working out 🏋️‍♀️ once again. I have had multiple surgeries I am now able to workout on my own. The staff all ROCK!Houston Gym is a no nonsense type of gym which is located just off of the freeway. The gym is very clean and does provide different exercises group classes.Jon is my personal trainer affidavit with the Houston Gym to assist me with the type of workout that is best for my physical wellness. Houston Gym has a VERY friendly team who makes me actually want to go train. Everything about the gym makes me look forward to walking through the doors and accomplishing my training session for that day. Houston Gym is an excellent gym!! All trainers and staff are fitness professionals who are more than willing to give you tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. I highly recommend making Houston Gym your workout gym.

Houston gym is awesome! Aldric is my personal trainer, and he is great. All of the staff there is super friendly and helpful. I’ve hit personal fitness goals and continue to progress even further than I expected. Houston gym is good for beginners or those more advanced - there is something for everyone.

I started going to Houston Gym two months ago and I can’t thank enough to Big Jon for being the best personal trainer. I have started enjoying working out because of him - I highly recommend Houston gym!

I love the gym and the staff. The gym has everything I need to reach my goals and I love the set-up. The staff knows their craft and truly the friendliest group of people youll find anywhere. They create an amazing atmosphere for self-betterment.

Had some questions regarding contract and Jon immediately helped me out and got down to the bottom of the confusion. Great communication.

Recently moved from Charlotte to Houston and was looking for a gym. I was greeted by Big John and Eric and immediately felt welcomed.Houston gym has all the equipment, handles, and pulleys you can want. If you’re looking for results and investing in your health, this is the spot!

Great gym staff. Trainers were super knowledgeable and great motivators. Everyone was super kind and friendly and gym was not overwhelming or intimidating. Perfect all around.

Fantastic staff in a high quality old school gym. If you wanna workout in a safe environment free judgement and in a great location close to the heart of Houston, this is the place for you!

I had a guest pass ..Nice bodybuilding gym !! John was very welcoming !!Nothing but good vibes in that place.. My only complaint is that I don’t live closer , but I was on that side of town for work

Thanks Big Jon for being my training and for motivating me even when I didn’t want to. I’ve lost 25 lbs. I’m nice and firm in the areas I didn’t think was possible. You are an amazing person as well. Keep up the amazing training. I would recommend anyone that is looking for a healthier life to start with you, I’ll see you next week!!

I’ve been going to Houston Gym consistently for a year now and love it. When I am there, I know I can always count on a good workout and positive atmosphere. Also, the coaches are awesome and are super helpful during workouts and whenever I may have questions!

Big Jon is very attentive and keeps me to my goals. Hes always checking in and chatting with me and asks me what he can do to help me to achieve my goals. He also keeps me to my meal plan because I stray easily. Hes a great trainer and I highly recommend him.

Hey guys and gals!!!!I want to share my experience that I’ve had at Houston Gym , specifically of my personal trainer Aldric. I’ve been working out with him now for 8 weeks and I love it. I also love the results that I see. ❤️He’s motivating. He is always positive and is a wealth of knowledge in fitness . To add, he’s delightfully funny.... even at 5am! You should check him out at HOUSTON GYM!

Very well equipped, friendly with no bull. Everything you could ever need is on the floor

[a former member here for 3 years] My biggest gripes that made me leave this gym were about the previous management (“Big John” & Bobby). Matt, their new manager, took the time to reconnect with me to tell me how much things have changed since I was last there. I appreciated his efforts & the latest reviews from everyone else showcases this gym’s positive turnaround.CONS:- Small gym- Older equipmentPROS:+ Great location+ Has multiple parking lots to handle most gym rush hours+ Tasty restaurants nearby

I LOVE this gym ! its the perfect spacing so its not overwhelming the first you come & everyone is so friendly & welcoming . big john is thee best if you want training or meal plans . he gets so excited seeing progress & works with any & all schedules to help you become your best self . the variety of free weights & equipments in addition to the late closing is what really sold me 💛 fave gym thus far .

The gym is the first place I really got involved in when I first moved to Houston, since then it’s become like a second home to me. I’ve been working with Big Jon for about 7 months now and I couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve had. My main mission was working to get stronger, and he’s helped me look better in the process. 10/10 recommend this place and training with Jon!

I started going to Houston Gym in February (2020). From the first time I walked in I felt at home. Ive lost 14 lbs since then with the help of my trainer. I love how kind the staff is and they always acknowledge you when you come in and leave and sometimes I stay just to chat with them! Ive been to other larger gyms and just felt extremely intimidated but at this gym I feel very comfortable. Its just a great place with great people! Highly recommend!

Great gym with great management and staff, which is hard to come by in my opinion. I came as a guest with my partner and was impressed overall with my experience. 5 stars, I would come back again!

I’ve been going to the Houston Gym for about two and a half years and I love the friendliness of all the staff there. I recently got Justin Nelson as a personal trainer and it has been a terrific experience. He is very knowledgeable and great to work with. He not only can show/explain an exercise to me, but was able to correct my form on certain exercises that I’ve developed bad habits with in a matter of minutes. He taught me about how the body moves and operates to the point where I have a better understanding of how to properly exercise even when we aren’t working out together. All in all it’s been a great experience so far and I look forward to our sessions every week!

The team of trainers and personnel are all really caring and supportive, especially Aldric my trainer. He helped me get out of the monotonous rut you can sometimes get in from working out for years. He always had something new and challenging for me to do to make me appreciate working out again and he motivated me the entire time. My only complaint is the old equipment and space. There is about every piece of equipment you could think of in there, but it is dated and packed in there with not much room to spare. If I didn’t move I’d still be going there.

Felt welcomed the moment I walked in to sign up, was shown around, met class instructors who told me all about the classes and services they provide. Big Jon also immediately answered any questions I had, great first impression!

Joined Houston Gym in June, and signed up for personal training sessions with Angie for 3 months. With her 5 star professionalism and guidance she has provided custom meal plans and custom workouts that have helped me attain any goal that I have thrown at her. She truly goes above and beyond when it comes to her clients and straight up gets results! Nothing short of 5 Stars for Angie and Houston Gym Overall!

Great gym ! Has everything I need to keep succeeding with my fitness goals ! But there is one employee his name is Adam. He goes above and beyond for members ! Always working ! Always smiling and treating people good ! GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE 💪🏼

Big John was very helpful with setting up a membership and giving me a tour of the gym. They have everything you need and a great staff.

Ive gone here for a long time. Great community. Equipment is well maintained. Staff are knowledge, friendly.

Amazing gym!! 10/10 Jon was amazing! Can’t wait to reach my fitness goals here :)

Houston Gym is a refreshing experience compared to the mega gyms in the area. Youre treated more like family here. The equipment is great and is always maintained to work as it should. The other members are friendly and accommodating as well. I highly recommend Houston Gym if you are serious about working out and ready to be your best.

I joined Houston Gym after some months of working out on my own. Jon Knisely one of the managers was immediately welcoming and helpful. He never asked to train me, just always asked questions. His wealth of knowledge and energy was so overwhelming I asked him for help. Hes not the only one at this gym that has this inclusive helpful attitude. Its part of the culture of this gym. Justin and Daryl also are extremely gifted trainers and good humans. Jon has exuded positive energy and the staff follows suit. Id highly recommend this gym to anyone at any fitness level.

Very nice gym. Big Jon is very attentive and knowledgeable. Great place to check out!!!

I showed up to the gym as a visitor with a guest pass, and was shown excellent hospitality. The gym is made for people who like to iron clanging against iron. A real gym is the Houston Gym off of Durham!

Just moved to Houston. Big John set me up with my new home gym! Very professional & friendly. I am excited to get started with my new gym family!

I was totally out of shape , Big Jon helped me see that Big Dudes can lean out , eat right and pack on some Lean Muscle , I lost 37 lbs of fat and gained 13 lbs of Lean , I feel great , My wife thinks I look great . I’d recommend this Gym and Jon to anyone

Coming to Houston Gym was an awesome experience all-around. Ive been a part of the large corporate gym world for some time now, and I was looking for a fresh start somewhere with community, local, and family values, and Houston Gym has all three! Big Jon provided me with a great tour of the facility and was very passionate about the Houston Gyms vision for the community and origin story. This gym has all the equipment youll need for a great workout and then some. Pumped to join this community.

I found this gym in August when I was fed up with LA Fitness and the way they chose to handle safety and sanitation during COVID-19. I am absolutely OBSESSED with Houston Gym. From the minute I joined I have always been greeted by friendly staff, personal trainers and the owner who is great. I look forward to working out there and I am grateful that I found a gym that has a sense of community. Everyone is cheering on each other at this gym and I have never felt more safe and at home than I do at Houston Gym. I am extremely satisfied with my experience here I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to begin or continue their fitness journey. Not only will you be taken care of here but you can also be assured that they care about you and your well being ESPECIALLY during a global pandemic.

Great old-school feel. Come here if you’re looking for a gym you can lift some heavy weight in without getting dirty looks. Top notch!

Great gym to work out in. Very friendly staff and has all the weights and machines needed for a great workout.

Amazing staff! Ask for John he’s a great trainer/person!

I came in for a private workout session and John was able to take care of me. He walked me through the equipment and assessed my skill level. He was super motivating without overworking me (I haven’t worked out in a gym setting in over a year and he was able to accommodate my lack of skill lol) I ended up scheduling more private training sessions in order to help me to reach my fitness and weight loss goals.

Big John’s Awesome!!! Very open to working with you and finding what works for you. Great gym, I recommend.

Great staff, good atmosphere. Top notch 👌🏼

Adam is the best very professional and has the greatest customer service.

Big Jon helped me to get signed up and the process was effortless! Excited to start working out.

Big Jon was welcoming and provided me with awesome service getting me into the gym.

Great gym! Got everything ya need!

This gym is awesome. I came in for a membership and ended up leaving with Big Jon as my personal trainer. He is awesome.

This gym is incredible and everyone is super nice. Big john, Thomas and Cassandra are amazing and extremely knowledgeable Individuals. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get in shape or find a new gym close to everything in the city !

I was looking for a change in scenery after years of training at a large corporate gym, so I decided to give Houston Gym a shot. I was not disappointed. I was very impressed with the facility, equipment and the price and decided to sign up immediately after my first free workout. Also want to give a shout to my personal trainer Travis Pitre. He’s been fantastic to work with. My workouts were becoming “stale” and he’s given me just the spark and motivation I was looking for; not to mention results! Highly recommend him whether you are new to working out or seasoned and looking to break past your plateau.

Love it here! Best gym Ive been too in Houston.

One of the best gyms in the city! The quality of staff and trainers is amazing. I personally train with Travis Pitre and Ill highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get back in shape. He has helped me regain my range of motion and overcome my shoulder pain and discomfort sustained over years of bad form and injuries.

I’m visiting from out of town and found this place online. Jay and Big Jon were friendly and welcoming. Got a day pass and my workout was awesome. Loved trying new (to me) equipment I wouldn’t normally get to use. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this gym! The place is spotless and Big Jon did an amazing job showing the gym. You can tell that they care about their people as soon as you walk in through the doors. 100% recommend.

Great local gym with a comfortable feeling to it. No need to worry about being an unidentified client here. Every piece of gym equipment one could want in any large gym is basically found here. Competitive pricing. Great location!

If you struggle to find a gym that’s open late on Sundays like I do then Houston Gym is the place for you. They have all the equipment you could possibly need and a unique upstairs cardio area. Adam was super helpful checking me in and made my first experience a great one. This is an excellent gym with even better customer service. Highly recommend.

I really like this gym. I’ve never had a gym membership before and this has been a great first experience. It’s never really crowded besides random days on random weeks. I don’t ever have to wait on a machine, that was one of my main items because I am a get in get out person.The people here are super nice! If I ever need their help they are so quick to assist me with whatever it might be. The trainers are very helpful as well. I did the 3 free training sessions and I enjoyed it. The trainer Aldric is who helped me. He helped me with arms, back and legs. I wanted to learn band workouts for my back and he definitely helped me learn some new moves.The gym membership is very good priced for being inside the loop. I didn’t want to pay $100 for a gym so I am very happy with what I pay, plus it’s right when I move.They have tons of parking. I was told you could park at the burrito place if the gym’s parking lot was full. It’s never been completely full for me so I haven’t ever needed to.Overall this experience has been great and would recommend someone to this gym!

Awesome gym! The employees were very accommodating and the entire facility was very clean, sanitizer and wipes everywhere. Will be stopping by again.

Awesome guy! Gave me my tour and had me signed up in less than 20 minutes. He explained everything to me in detail and even explained to me all of my options I have at the gym. This is a clean traditional gym which is what I was looking for. Can’t wait to start my workouts!

I give this rating to the gym, it has everything you need to complete your workout and also very clean.I want to thank Big John for being very helpful and answering my questions, if you need help he is the guy to go to.Dont be afraid to come it is very welcome and also if you run in to me Ill even great myself to(not an employee yet)

I’m a very shy introvert and timid about working out and being around people I don’t know. Mr big John has been a awesome guy helping me 100%. Brandon and Alex have been motivational to me as well.It’s getting better and hopefully one day soon I’ll be able to open up more and not give up.Thank you guy for your support

Love this gym! Big Jon hooked us up, the atmosphere is wonderful and I’ll always be glad to support a local business like this one :)

Have been going here for the past few months...is a great no frills gym! Great workout environment! I am sure all of the trainers are great but from experience Aldric is THE man...great workouts, positive energy, and over-all super good guy. Never did the same workout twice, always switched it up, and saw results within a couple of weeks.Recommend to anyone at any level

I work with Angelique and I don’t have enough good things to say about her. Angie is very well versed in her field and does an excellent job of combining her expertise and charisma to yield results for whatever you’re looking for as a client. She’s able to tailor your workout to your needs and is very inspiring in the process! 5/5 and two thumbs up!

Big Jon is great! Ask for him when you come in

This gym is amazing. Go and see the front desk, ask for Big John, and he will help you out. I love these guys!

I have been a member of Houston Gym for over 5 years. Everyone is very nice and provide very good trainers if you want a workout boost. A friendly neighborhood gym where you can workout at the level you choose on your own or with trainer assistance. Handy and convenient. BTW, Justin is an excellent trainer.

I train with Angelique, and she has been so amazing to work with. Her support and training has built up my strength, confidence and comfort while remaining challenging and motivating. Ive never enjoyed being in a gym but I genuinely look forward to going and working out. I find Houston Gym to be a great environment and Angelique is an excellent asset to it. Highly recommend!

Short answer: great and highly recommend. Long answer: Everyone here is super nice, it really feels like home. I’ve been acquainted with the staff and they’ve all contributed to boosting me up when I see them. Big Jon set me up with the plan I need and can afford, and he gives a big brother vibe. Jay and I became good friends and now we workout together almost every time. He helped me understand how to use literally everything in there and I’m more comfortable with the machines. Josh is a personal trainer here, he will work you out like Ramsey Gordon from hell’s kitchen... just kidding. He does train you the best way for your goals though, and will motivate you during then. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him, and I’m extremely pleased with what he taught me. Josh understood my limitations, was very empathetic, and helped me push my limits safely to my benefit. You’ll get a couple of free sessions, and you won’t have to worry about a follow up session being super expensive. Also, Alex is another staff member who occasionally gave me advice on good workouts, and helped when he saw me struggle with something. Daryle is the sweetest thing too, he’s very approachable if you need help or have any questions about the machines or something like that. I’ve seen him train people and they looked focused and sweaty which means he’s guiding them good. Adam is super sweet as well. Everyone here is helpful and will definitely remember your name. The gym takes suggestions seriously, and they’re very considerate of their members’ needs. There’s a tanning room, massage room, and free yoga and aerobics classes included in your membership which is awesome. They have tissues to clean up the equipment before and after usage if you don’t like using them after someone, and the bathroom has deodorant, lotion, and blow dryer which is very thoughtful. There are some essential items that you may have bought for you but they provide them for use such as wrist support, or leg bands, as well as foam rollers. Customer traffic has peak hours, but if you like less people around you can come at times that aren’t peak hours. I hope I’m not forgetting anything... bottom line, it will be your happy place to reach your goals.

I started working with Angelique in September. I thought I was doing pretty good on my own with my weight loss goals but she has gone above and beyond all expectations! Ive lost about 30lbs in such a short time thanks to her meal plans and customized workouts. I enjoy going to the gym and working hard with her. No two workouts are ever the same and she teaches me something new each time. She does great with group workouts and is super patient with all of her clients. I cannot thank her enough for helping me be the lightest I have been in 10 years, and she is not done with me yet!

Loved the gym, Big Jon was welcoming and knowledgeable. He showed me around the gym. I’m excited to start my wellness journey here the general vibe of the place is great.

Houston Gym has everything I am looking for in a gym including great trainers who really care about my personal workout goals. My trainer Alex always keeps me on track during workouts - hes willing to modify exercises so that I can get through the reps and feel good about my accomplishments. Alex is also very knowledgeable about physiology and teaches me the benefits of specific exercises. Oh, and hes funny, too! Thanks, Alex and Houston Gym!

I had a great experience at Houston gym. I always felt welcomed when i would walk in for my workouts. One of the trainers was wonderful to work with. Aldric is great. He knows his stuff and can get you where you need to be! He also makes it a lot of fun to get in shape. Highly recommend.

Love this gym and group exercise classes! Very friendly and caring staff. I have been a member for over ten years. They have experienced, knowledgeable and friendly instructors. The group exercise classes that I attend (mostly zumba and yoga) are excellent. Its easy to do them at your own personal comfort level. Boot camp is excellent as well. In addition to these classes being a great workout, nice and fun people attend them too. I highly recommend this gym and their group exercise classes.

Too pricey for a day pass. Good gym with a decent amount of equipment and staff/regulars seem nice. However, in my opinion $25 for a day pass is too much for what it offers

Great equipment. Awesome trainers. Travis is very knowledgeable and entire staff is great. This my favorite gym.

Big jon is a very good trainer. He understands your goals. His employees are good mannered and polite. The facilities are clean .the prices are within reasonable range. His meals and dietary planning. Nutritional information availability. I recommend this place highly.. good for rehab as well. Sorry for any misspelling of words Im in a moving car.

Spoke to someone one the phone yesterday, set an appointment at 5 am , left my name, phone number, and specifically asked if they were taking new members and he says yes. Arrive this morning and all the guy at the front desk says is sorry brah aint taking new members. Seems like it would have been pretty easy to call me back and tell me not to go there at 5 am.

I have been a member of Houston Gym for about 10 years. I enjoy the atmosphere and positive energy of the gym! It is also great having Matt back as general manager. i have has several excellent trainers here at the gym.. My current trainer, Justin Nelson, is one of them. I have been training with him for about two months. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He is helping me greatly with mobility and balance issues. He gives very clear and precise answers to my many questions about the effectiveness of particular exercises. Thanks, Justin!

Great gym, and great people. Working with Angelique has been an awesome experience. She knows how to push you to your limits and teach you the fundamentals. Our sessions are high points in my week.

Great gym that has every piece of equipment needed for a good workout and even some equipment that cant be found at other places. It has a great atmosphere where you feel like you know everyone there and enjoy your time hanging out with friends.

This review is not only for Houston gym but also one of the personal trainers - Justin! Houston is the best, they are clean and staffs are friendly. If you are looking for a personal trainer, you dont have to look further - ask for Justin! I have been with him for almost 3 months and I have already seen my body transformed! My strength and energy level is getting better each day. Justin makes exercise fun. He will design a program that are different each session and make it challenging so that you wont lose interests. He cares about your form and push you to do better each time! Give Justin a try and you will not regret!

I’m here with Big John. Shows me the ropes. Answered my questions and provided no BS. I’m glad the family owned Houston are watching out for Houstonians while this big corporate gyms continue to ignore people.

Angie is a great personal trainer. She is highly knowledgeable and can customize your exercise and meal plan to meet your goals and preferences. I highly enjoy working out with her and look forward to our sessions. Her enthusiasm for her work keeps me motivated, she will definitely help push you towards your goals, whatever they may be. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do check this great gym. All of the staff is warm and welcoming. Great group classes. The gym is well equipped and you would not be disappointed. See Big Jon fir ur trainer needs. Highly recommend this hidden gem of a gym.

Aldric, Jay, and Jon are the best in the business!! I’ve learned so much from all the trainers at Houston Gym! The staff is EXTRA helpful and the environment is safe for your car and wallet!! They have a parking lot attendant that watches your car.

Big John was extremely helpful getting me set up with a membership. Highly recommend!

Went here for a quick drop in and place had quite a few machines, but when i went to the barbell a handsome blue haired woman was filming a larger bald man doing curls with 5 pound weights on each side. I wasnt too happy that they allowed people to film there when i just want a relaxing workout. I think Management shouldnt allow people to film their workouts while others are around.

Big Jon has helped us so much! He toured us around the gym and was extremely knowledgeable. We cannot wait to get started working out and getting more healthy here!

Today was my first day going to the Houston Gym. Although it was quite fun, I definitely wasnt prepared. I worked with my friends personal trainer, Alderick. He made sure I was comfortable and helped with all exercises. He pumped me up and kept me determine and it was just the type of motivation I needed. Recommend this gym 100%.

Super friendly staff and theres always parking available. The gym is small and the equipment is older, but they have everything you could need and you very rarely have to wait for machines even during peak times.

Training with Angie has been a whole new gym experience for me. She is direct and genuine, and listens while still encouraging me to push myself and learn to safely use equipment beyond just the machines. She has adapted and gone above and beyond to help me meet my personal fitness goals and has me feeling confident and supported during my workouts! Working out with the group of strong women she trains has been so positive and I have seen big changes in my body in the few months I have been working with her including five pounds lost and shoulder and back definition!Overall the staff at Houston gym are encouraging and positive, good vibes!

The Houston Gym is a phenomenal workout facility and I truly enjoyed my stay there. I hate Ihad to leave due to me moving across the city, but this ace is highly recommended 👌

Big John just showed me around!! Love the place, signing up as we speak! Thanks Houston Gym!

LOVE LOVE THE HOUSTON GYM!! Big Jon is the best trainer ever! And the staff is always friendly. If youre looking for a gym with great trainers & knowledgeable staff this is the best place in Houston!

I’ve been working with Aldric. He is very knowledgeable and pushes me to my limit every workout. We never do the same exercise twice. I highly recommend training with Aldric. Houston gym has a great atmosphere and everyone seems to be friendly.

Great equipment and people at Houston gym! Shoutout to big John and Adam. I love that the gym has some nice old-school bodybuilding equipment, tons of different barbells, trap bars, safety squat bars. Really great environment.

I joined the gym a couple of months ago and I love it! I am usually one to work out alone and keep to myself but the staff and trainers there are so nice & welcoming. It feels like a small family here! I got 3 free training sessions to decide if I wanted a coach and after 3 sessions I decided to let Justin Nelson coach me and have not regretted it! I am used to running long distance and wanted to challenge myself and Justin does just that! He knows how to challenge you based on your body type and really knows the science behind it all so you will work muscles you didnt even know you had. I already see a change in my legs and stomach and feel like my muscles are toning up after just about 1.5 months. I walk in knowing that I will be greeted with a smile from the staff and I cant wait to see myself progress.

Awesome personal trainers. Before I signed up with Angie basically all i would do at the gym was bench and squat. Progress was SLOW. I have been working with Angie for about 2 months and she has forever changed the way I will work out. She has fixed my bad habits and now I am lifting more than ever. If you want to get your moneys worth from a personal trainer and meet your goals quickly Angie is the trainer to work with.
