I attended a one-time-group class and enjoyed every minute of it. The community seems incredible and is very friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. It’s fun to see a successful local community gym! You definitely will not regret it if you sign up for a class, get a year pass, or commit to going every month to as many classes as you can. Everyone I talk to their raved about the instructors, their experience, and the different type of classes that are offered. It was also nice for me to have an outside gym experience during the pandemic, it made me feel more comfortable than I would inside. Great place!

Athlete one: Hey how are you doing today?Athlete two: I just did a handstand. Im LIVING!Thats the kind of crowd you get at Mekanix. When I found Mekanix, I was looking for a gym where I could learn how to work out. I had never enjoyed the gym with machines because I always felt lost and confused as to what was effective. After joining Mekanix, I learned about proper workout movement, mobility, proper recovery and much more. The community is fantastic and very welcoming! The instructors are some of the friendliest and patient trainers around and they really take the time to show you the workouts. They also have amazing recovery classes with fire and ice (sauna and ice bath), mobility classes, and breathing exercises (much tougher than it sounds). Ten out of ten would recommend! Come check them out, youll be glad you did.

The place to be if youre looking to get into or advance your calisthenics skill set!! Such a fun and friendly atmosphere. The instructors do a great job at giving you personalized attention in a group setting and give your modifications and progressions based on your skills set. But wait! Theres more - the recovery classes are so unique and not found in any of your traditional gyms. This is a whole package. Fire and ice as well as the flexibility and recovery classes complement the other classes so well! Love this gym, highly recommend! But dont take my word for it - come see it for yourself! Just come check it out, try even one class, youll be so glad you did!!!

Needs more tubs for the Fire & Ice class, but Trevor was really nice and helpful, and made everyone feel welcome! Will go again.

This is a gym where I finally feel like Ive found my home. Very friendly, welcoming, and accepting. I am so happy to have found this gym!

All the trainers I’ve worked with at Mekanix have been great. They’re friendly, super knowledgeable, and very watchful to make sure I’m not going to get hurt. At the same time, they encourage me and make me want to try new things and push myself.

I attended my first trial class today. There are so many great things to say but ill leave the suspense for when you visit. Overall Great staff, great facility, and an eye opening experience. I am looking forward to attending more classes in the future. 10/10 would recommend.

Mekanix is a one stop shop for your calisthenics needs! Whether youre new or experienced, theres something for you here. The instructors are knowledgeable, highly skilled, and friendly. I personally love the attention to detail and adjustments/modifications that are offered for different skill levels. This place has also got you covered from conditioning to recovery, and I have noticed positive changes in my energy and strength that carry over to day to day life. I couldnt ask for more in a training facility and highly recommend trying them out.

I’m a swimmer and when pools closed due to the pandemic I went looking for a way to stay fit. I’d been interested in calisthenics for years, but my attempts at home were demoralizing and went nowhere. What I needed was professional instruction, group support and a program. Mekanix provides all of those things and much more. The instructors are excellent, the culture is positive, friendly, and genuinely caring—and the members are some of my favorite people. I’ve done a lot of different kinds of training—weights, strength and conditioning, yoga—and nothing compares to the overall benefits of calisthenics. I’ve been training at Mekanix since June and it has been life changing, if not life saving. I’ve come through this pandemic stronger, more resilient, and healthier both physically and mentally thanks to Mekanix. And fire and ice is worth the membership fees alone. And nothing beats training with a group of great friends. I love this place!

When I first read about calisthenics I was doubting but after the first class in Mekanix I fell in love with it! Training is amazing and takes care not only about strength but also mobility, flexibility and stretching. Trainers are great, I met Sean and Trevor and they are really good and they pay a lot of attention to how I perform the exercises and this is really importanti me. Each time they ask how we feel before starting the training. Moreover Mekanix is not only calisthenics, there are also mobility classes which are really good and help me a lot to improve my mobility and flexibility.

Hello day 1. Right person for me, Sean is Awesome! I will be back

Best place to workout. I hace been lifting weights for years and more recently cross-fit, but I got bored. This is something different. You can quantify the progress much better, have much less risk of injury and you can focus more on the proper form rather than completing the WOD as quick as possible. The environment is super friendly and fun.

I have been coming to Mechanix for over a month now and the experience has been fantastic. The workouts are very challenging and constantly changing so your workouts evolve everyday. The trainers give excellent direction and make sure you are doing proper form to avoid injuries. They have plenty of classes available throughout the day to fit anyones schedule. Its a great community and highly recommend anyone to try it out.

Mekanix is a great neighborhood gym. The training staff is dedicated to coaching and having you improve at your own pace. If youre ever in the Montrose area come checkout a class.

Excellent gym and even better community, the workout routines are unique and always changing keeping each class fresh. The fire and ice is amazing and like nothing else in town. I would definitely recommend Mekanix to anyone bored of the normal gym grind or just hitting a plataeu in their workout regime.

I’m so glad that I found Mekanix Houston calisthenics gym! I am very active and movement and running have always been a part of my program. When I started do come to Mekanix regularly, my strength noticeably increased and I also haven’t had an injury since becoming a member! The community of likeminded people is also one of my favorite parts of Mekanix Houston.The fire and ice has literally changed my life! Justin coached me through my first ice bath experience in such a supportive way. I didn’t feel pressure to stay in the ice for longer than my body was ready for. I can honestly say for a few seconds there it was uncomfortable, but once I got into the rhythm with my breathing I felt safe and it was surprisingly pleasant. I warmed up in the sauna afterwards :) The whole afternoon and evening I felt like I was walking on clouds... I felt so good!! And my sleep that night was incredible. I now average about 4 ice baths a month and my breath work has improved dramatically, my anxiety has gone down, and it’s so great for muscle recovery after a week of workouts and runs.There are so many good things about Mekanix Calisthenics Gym. The whole Mekanix Houston team is so welcoming and knowledgeable, the workouts and recovery are top notch and sustainable (you won’t burn out and get injured after a few weeks of hard training), and the community of people that I’ve met is priceless.Thank you Mekanix Houston!

HOUSTON FINALLY HAS A CALISTHENICS GYM! Mekanix was founded in 2017 as Houstons only gym focusing on calisthenics and bodyweight training. Have you seen those crazy street workouts on YouTube showcasing superhuman strength? If not, search up BarStarzz, Thenx, or Calisthenic Movement on YouTube to see what the human body is capable of.If youre looking for an intensity level between yoga and Crossfit, calisthenics is your best bet. Yoga focuses a lot on pushing, but it completely lacks any pulling. Crossfit focuses on all muscles groups, but its so intense, it may injure you over time with its fast-paced movements and heavy weights. Calisthenics is the happy in-between, and its something you can do for the rest of your life injury-free! It can give you the physique you want, the strength you desire, and it gives you the knowledge to be able to train anywhere with zero equipment.I started training at Mekanix in April 2018. I initially signed up for a 1-week membership for $25 to get a good feel for what the gym could offer me. After speaking with their head trainer, Gregory Scott, he informed me the training schedule works as follows:Monday - PushingTuesday - PullingWednesday - LegsThursday - PushingFriday - PullingSaturday - LegsSunday - RecoveryThe classes are set up in group exercises like a yoga or a Crossfit class. Every class I have gone to has been a small, intimate group ranging from 3-8 people total. This makes it easy to get one-on-one instruction from the teacher if needed. Class times vary each day, so the best way to keep track of the schedule is by downloading the MINDBODY® application to your phone.Group training classes typically start out with some light stretching and a warm-up. Depending on the workout, the classes can be held inside or outside utilizing their incredible rig setups (pull-up/dip bars and gymnastic rings) or nothing at all (circuit exercises working many variations of push-ups and other mobility exercises). There is other equipment used as well including parallettes, medicine balls, PVC pipe, plyometric boxes, and rubber bands.On Sunday, Mekanixs recovery day, they provide a handstand workshop (put together by handstand master, Jimmy Tran), a flexibility class, a breathwork class, and even contrast therapy. If you never heard of contrast therapy, this is where you consecutively expose your body to cold and heat repeatedly. At Mekanix, they provide ice baths at close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a dry sauna at close to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. I have tried this 3 times already with a lot of skepticism, but I can honestly say that my muscle soreness has vanished overnight with this therapy.I have been consistently going to Mekanix for a few weeks now, and I have definitely seen a major increase in strength and mobility. Gregory Scott is an ultimate calisthenics master, and its been an absolute pleasure learning the movements from him. I have now signed up for a monthly membership, and I am very happy with my decision. If youre currently looking for a new athletic challenge, do yourself a favor, and sign yourself up. You will NOT be disappointed.

Great people, great facility and a great experience. Definitely worth the little extra driving it took for me to get there.

Great gym, amazing trainers.Workouts are challenging for all levels and I really enjoy the people there!

Outstanding coaches, great programming and very healthy approach to fitness. Ive been looking to pivot toward more bodyweight-oriented training and this place hits it right in the sweet spot. If youre looking for an alternative to the meathead or smash cardio approaches, get here and try it out. Im thrilled to have found my next gym home.

My experience at mekanix has been fantastic. The program is well designed to keep pushing you and each workout focuses on developing strength. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable and can adjust every movement to any skill level. Highly recommended

I couldn’t ask for a better Calisthenics Gym- Great Location- Good People- Good Energy- Great Trainers- Awesome Music (Sponsored by Spotify) lolIt’s actually Fun. I started training a few months ago with mild pain from a herniated disc. Trevor and Sean understood the severity of that type of injury. I can appreciate the extra attention they both put toward me training safely. Initially, there were slight pains. I’m there at minimum 4x weekly. So with all the stretching we do, form corrections, helpful tips & the discipline to put in the work and get better. Currently, I no longer have any back pain. Thanks to Melanix Calisthenics Gym.See you guys at 5:30 ✌🏾

Mekanix is the best way to change ones mindset toward exercise. Calisthenics was so new to me, at first I was intimidated by it. However the coach made me feel very comfortable during the workout and always focusing I had the correct posture and technique. Highly recommend if you want to have a fun and challenging workout focused in bodyweight training and flexibility. Really knowledgeable and welcoming coaches/staff. Members are at all levels of fitness so there is no reason to be intimidated.Another unique aspect about this gym is the fire and ice class, please give this a try, they are amazing for recovery and clarity.I can’t wait to try one of the pool workout classes.

I used to do many exercises in my life, like weight lifting, bootcamps, crossfit, etc. to stay in shape and healthy. All of them worked well, but Id say Im staying the longest with Mekanix Calisthenics. What I like about this gym the most is a class with limited number of participants receiving trainers full attention, for a full one hour. Because Im using my body weight for most of workouts, Ive not been suffering from injuries, and my body definition definitely improved. The only injury I got was while stretching. Moreover, the feeling that I can control my body better (being able to hold longer on a bar, get to handstand, pull/push up more) gave a boost to self-esteem and everyday energy. I havent been eating healthy, but my friends already notice difference in shape. If proper eating is combined, I cant imagine more potential I can reach with Calisthenics.I have to say that the gym membership is more pricy than regular gyms with weights and machines. Also, this is not a gym if youre looking for a huge gain in a short period. I mean Im sure you can get huge gain but the everyday program isnt necessarily designed for that. I joined it because a trainer and people are always there to share the journey and motivate each other. Not everyone like me is self-motivated on working out on his/her own and get to the goal. And my goal isnt necessarily to look muscular or get to a certain weight number. My goal is to be able to handstand and tumble on my own. It just helps me when I see fellow members struggling with the same goals and reach together. For that, the price justifies for me.Im the one in yellow shirts.

I went to Mekanix and did the “Fire and Ice” class! I was a little intimidated at first but Coach Justin helped me get the hang of things quickly AND helped me control my breathing. If you’re looking to boost immunity, mental health, recover from a workout...etc, I can not recommend a better way to spend your Sunday evening! The dopamine boost is real, I smiled like a clown for hours after this class. Give it a try!

Its been a heck of a journey so far! Never expected to reach the level of improvement witnessed in just 6 weeks of being a member of @mekanixhouston. Confidence is boosting. I have been a participant in at least 2 or 3 classes with every coach and it is so difficult to pick one as a favorite. All of them are so SME and well knowledgeable about what they teach or coach. Even at my age, I am gaining strength never thought possible and I have learned new tricks and techs that are taking me a step at a time to the next level. Definitely, Mekanix is the place to train at, a no brainer in the Houston area if you want to take your athletic capacity to the next stage.

Get great way to surpass your limits 💪

Awesome gym! I go for the Fire + Ice (heat & ice contrast therapy), and love the experience every time. Justin is such a fantastic coach and is really encouraging and supportive throughout the process. The benefits of fire + ice have been so great for my hip surgery recovery and has helped with my inflammation a lot! Highly recommend :)

Mekanix is an amazing gym. The instructors are experts in the field of Calisthenics and design the classes to accommodate beginners to advanced athletes. The environment is so warm and welcoming. Come. Try Mekanix out! You won’t regret it!

Mekanix is a great place to workout and build both strength and skill. The reason is simple: Mekanix has a great pool of trainers! Their effort has resulted in raising the mindfulness of my body and fitness. Good job guys! I will definitely recommend this place!

My experience at Mekanix was amazing! First off, the space phenomenal. I attended the Fire+ Ice session and can not begin to explain how amazing I felt after the session. As a high school/club level athlete, Fire+ Ice has help my recovery tremendously. Justin coached me in breathwork though the session which was awesome I highly recommend Fire+ Ice to anyone, but love it/ recommend it for athletes to improve the recovery process. Looking forward to implementing Fire+ Ice into my schedule for preseason training this summer!

Terrific studio! I’ve only got about two pull-ups in me on a good day, so the idea of a 60-minute back/biceps class intimidated me, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the entire class is scalable to all levels. There’s a class cap of 10 people, and often we’re split into two heats of 5 to alternate doing a set and rest, so classes have more of a group personal training feel. I got a membership.The conditioning class is more plyometrics and leg work/cardio (think rounds of short circuits), while the push classes and pull classes are more strength-oriented. You won’t sweat much in the latter, but more than once I’ve needed two hands to pick up my water bottle by the end of class - in a good way! I rarely reach that point of muscle fatigue in other class settings.“Fire and ice” is a separate beast and worth looking into if you are interested in contrast therapy. Some clients drop in and only do that class, some do just the workouts, and some do both. There is a general mentality of “I like fitness challenges, but I also want to take care of myself for the long run” amongst the community here.Only drawback is parking; during peak hours there’s a lot of double-parking. I park on the side streets, there are several and it’s only a 1-2 block walk.

Great place.Very good instructors, they have time to show you how to do all moves to make sure you dont get injured. This workout is just the perfect way to get stronger.This low impact gym is just the best Ive never try. I really recommend it

My fiancee and I started here recently and we enjoy it so much we find it easy to go regularly. From the first day you can tell you are valued and the instructors and owner want nothing but success for whatever goals you wish to achieve. On your first day, the owner spends an hour just getting to know you and your goals and does a personal work out with you to set some benchmarks. All of the instructors give personal attention during the group classes to ensure you are doing things right or they will even make recommendations for easier or harder exercises depending on where you are at physically.In addition to the friendly staff, the gym members all seem to be regulars and they are very friendly, welcoming, and supportive.The structure and timing of the classes make it easy to ensure you get a full body workout whether you attend 3 days per week or 7. They offer physical training (legs/push/pull), mobility and stretching classes, and fire and ice classes (you need to call and ask, the experience is amazing). Additionally they also offer learning seminar classes such as goal setting, breathing for athletes, etc. As I travel a bit for work, the instructors will even provide some recommendations for things to do to stay in shape and on your routine.If you are unfamiliar with calisthenics, its a mostly body weight driven exercise method. It has a very low probability of injury compared to other types of workout methods and it builds a balanced and powerful body that will aid you in daily life and as you age.Youll have a hard time finding a better gym to call home.

I joined this gym about 5 weeks ago. I feel very lucky to have found this gym. I have found my people at this place. The members are friendly, the workouts are challenging and the instructors are caring and top notch. I have made noticeable improvements week after week and I look forward to my workouts. I appreciate that the instructors offer variations of the exercises. This enables you to complete the workout within your strength and skill level. This is a great gym to experience a great workout.

Very effective workouts. You will see results if you show up consistently. The contrast therapy feels beneficial in both mental and physical aspects. As a bonus my tennis game improved due to the cohesive nature of calisthenics. I am happy that I decided to join here.

Joining Mekanix is definitely the best way for me to invest in my health. Love every single class Ive attended, and all the instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, friendly, humorous and fun. Absolutely enjoy workouts that focus on strength, balance, flexibility, and functional fitness. I now know how to use my body weight better and use the movements I learn here to do everyday activities more efficiently.

To call Mekanix another gym would be criminal.Mekanix is SO much more than that.Mekanix is a community. A group of awesome people that are passionate about becoming a tiny bit better every day. Thats the Mekanix motto: Be 1% better every day.You see, nobody expects you to do 10 pull-ups on day one.The expert coaching staff will show you progressions for whatever level of fitness you are currently at (yes, even if you cant do a single pull-up today), while at the same time making sure they challenge you to keep making the exercise harder each and every time they see you again.Because thats what its all about at the end of the day: Its about becoming a bit stronger, and a bit better than you were yesterday.So if you are even a *tiny* bit interested in learning more about calisthenics and mastering the lost art of body-weight training – all while having TONS of fun doing it, meeting amazing people, and learning from some of the fittest men and women in Houston – you owe it to yourself to give Mekanix a try.Trust me, youll be extremely glad you did!

Justin the owner was incredible! He let me and my little brother come check out the gym while we talked about life and our passions. The gym was everything you could wish for if youre trying to master your body! Its nice to see body awareness has finally come to light. Great job Justin! Youre a pioneer in Houston for calisthenics. Thanks again!

What an experience! The owner himself let my brother and I come tour the gym. It was so cool seeing how Houston has finally opened up a gym for calisthenics- all thanks to Justin! I cant believe he took time out of his busy day to meet with two people who are passionate about body mastery. We were even able to get a light workout in while getting to know the owner in his own words. Gratitude is the only word I can use to describe my time at mekanix! Thanks again Justin!

This place is awesome! Ive been training Calisthenics for about a year now and have had limited places to workout in my current area of Baton Rouge. While visiting my future home of Houston, I was pleasantly surprised to find out there is a Calisthenics-specific gym that includes every piece of equipment I need AND MORE. Not only is this place fully equipped, the trainers are knowledgable, the class energy is motivating, and the workouts are challenging for all skill levels. They even have a HANDSTAND class- how cool and fun is that!? 10/10 recommend to anyone interested in Calisthenics! Looking forward to moving here in May and connecting with the Mekanix community.

Mekanix is awesome! Great community of like-minded people who love to challenge themselves in all kinds of ways! From general health and fitness to specialized skills, Mekanix has got you covered! The coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable. If youre in Houston and havent checked out Mekanix, you are definitely missing out. Justin is doing an incredible job with Mekanix! What are you waiting for?

I have been attending the calisthenics classes for a month and I couldnt be more happy! The classes are amazing and the best part; you can noticed in your body how you get stronger and with more energy than usual. The teachers are very helpful too. I cant wait to get my 1% better in every class.

As a calisthenics coach myself I must say, this place is amazing! Great instruction, safe yet challenging exercises, perfect for all skill levels, and a fun atmosphere. Way to go Mekanix!

Mekanix is an awesome gym! I worked out with Greg and he is so inspiring! Not only is he in insane shape and can do some intense calisthenics moves (that Ive never seen anywhere else), but he is a great teacher. He tailors the workouts to the level of the students. Ive never done calisthenics before, but he designed a class that met my fitness and skill needs.The gym itself is awesome, its a former car mechanic turned into a sweet gym. Im a fitness freak and love these workouts - highly recommend to anyone that wants to get in incredible shape and have fun doing it!

I came here for ice and heat therapy session and was really great. I was terrified at first and didn’t think I would be able to go through the 3 minutes in the ice. The instructor walked me through the breathing technique and talked to me throughout the session, and I thought was very helpful. I was able to do all 3 rounds and 3 minutes each. My body felt very relaxed and I slept really well after the session!

As far as I know, this is the only Calisthenics gym in Houston, and its pretty amazing. Workouts are fun, and coaches are very helpful. and Ice baths are fun too. Justin and Greg are especially really good, workouts are structured pretty well. Love going to the Burger joint with these guys once in a while.

I have really enjoyed my time at the gym! I love the classes and the fire and ice sessions.

I spent one month in Houston for work purposes. Im used to practice Calisthenics in Italy and I was willing to find a place to workout at a very high level.I found it. The facility is great, trainers really good and the friendly and positive environment is helping you to push harder. Quality training is really important in Calisthenics, and every trainer will help you fixing your techninque. Since I live in Europe, I have no chance to say how the membership cost is compared to the average US market. I wont have the chance to continue working out there, but if Ill ever come back to Houston Ill definitely come back to Mekanix :)

I found this place on Google map and inquired about it online. Spoke with Justin who told me to come check it out so I did. Now before going here all I did was lift weights and run. But this here is something new to me. A whole different type of physical training that does challenge me and pushes me to my limits. Greg is an amazing instructor and everyone there genuinely cares about bettering themselves. If youre doing something wrong they will correct you. If it looks too easy there is ALWAYS a more challenging way to do it. After my first session I was hurting all over but it was that good kind of hurt! I feel like this is what Ive been missing. Its the kind of work out that makes you put it all together. Your body will learn to work as one. No isolation of one muscle but everything working as one! I look forward to my journey with these guys at this gym. Thank you guys for opening my eyes! This stuff is AMAZING!

Really good instructors. Ive been going for two months and already I can see a major difference in my flexibility and strength and appearance. Definitely check it out!

BEST place for workouts! I get the best training and have seen amazing results! I cannot rave more about this place! They have everything you can imagine —> even fire and ice therapy! Highly recommended!

Good day, I haven’t been attending this gym long maybe a month or so but the experience so far has been more than pleasant. It’s nothing comparable to anything I’ve ever done either. The members are very welcoming , and the owner Justin did a great job by picking a talented group of trainers such as Kace, Gregory , Bailey , Edgar, and Stephan. Every day is something different and trainers challenge me to get the best out of sessions. I recommend to also try the stretching classes, and hand balancing classes. And then....there’s fire and ice....soaking in an ice bath then sitting in the hot sauna , it’s a real mind body experience, a good reset after a long week. Worth every penny spent. Regards, and have the best day of your life.

Great experience and quality workout. Whether you’re just looking to get in shape or looking to balance and improve your overall fitness Mekanix is delivers. They focus on calisthenics and body weight movements so each class is safe, challenging and fun. Quality coaching and an owner who is committed to improvement and client satisfaction. I also take my 14yr old son as it’s a great introduction to developing healthy habits and the classes are scalable to all levels. Check out the contrast therapy (heat/cold) and recovery options as well.

This review is long overdue. I’ve been a member of Mekanix since December 2017, and it’s been a terrific experience. I originally joined because I wanted to build a habit of waking up early, and what better way then to force myself to workout in the morning (stacking habits!).I had no prior experience in Calisthenics when I first started out. Greg was great about tailoring the workout to be challenging and at my experience level. If you are bored of just going to the gym and doing standard barbell workouts, I highly encourage you to give Mekanix a try, well worth it!Lastly, the owner (Justin), is very committed to the success of Mekanix, he is open to feedback and always looking for ways to improve your membership.

I have been a member at Mekanix for about 6 months now and have nothing but positive things to say. The workouts are primarily body weight which allows you to work hard and tone up without overloading your body. Each instructor is extremely knowledgeable and helps walk you through movements from beginner to advance levels. In addition, the class sizes are rarely over 10 people which means you get a personalized training experience each time. I feel stronger, more energized and toned than ever! If you’re looking for a new challenge in your fitness and a chance to workout with truly great people, then Mekanix is for you.

Love this place. The instructors are great and have a knack for making the workouts fun and challenging for all levels. The community of people is fun and supportive. Ive noticed massive improvements in my fitness since I started working out here 3 months ago, and its all been a lot of fun, too!

If you desire to improve your mobility, flexibility, balance, strength and endurance in an atmosphere that’s part old school, part advanced method- Mekanix should be on your short list. Justin and his team are passionate about their craft and their clientele. Body work- breath work- mind work- active and passive recovery methods- nutrition -all part of what Mekanix provides their base in a group training environment that’s structured for results and fun factor. And if you think you can’t afford it you’d be wrong; it may be the best value add in Houston. One needs 3 solid things in life- good doctor, good lawyer, good Mekanix.

Incredible calisthenics workout. Gain strength, power, and speed at Mekanix. Theyre breathwork, heat & ice recovery classes are the best. Justin does an incredible job leading them and you will feel amazing when youre done. Best sleep Ive ever had.

I attended an awesome hand stand class taught by Justin. Focused attention was given to each participant based on their experience and fitness level. I highly recommend this gym!

👍🏽Great gym with amazing trainers. I highly recommend this gym if you want to pursuit a strong functional body. Two thumbs up!!!👍🏽

This Gym is the best one in the Houston Area ! Excellent people , amazing instructors, small clases and great community. The combination of Calisthenics (form of fitness which utilizes gravity and bodyweight leverage to challenge your fitness level at your own pace ) and the Wim Hof method ( Ice baths ) are extremely helpful to boost your immune system. This place really helps you to keep your body and mind strong ! I am very happy I found this place and I strongly recommend everyone to try it !

Awesome workout! Great movements and intensity.Really enjoyed the new routine. Fantastic instructor and coaching.Highly recommend the workout and gym.

I attended a Saturday morning one hour workout and WOW!!! Talk about a full body workout! The following two days I was sore just about all over which let me know that they definitely hit every body part. Their fitness trainer/instructor, Greg, definitely knows fitness. Very knowledgeable and passionate and it shows. If you live in the area, dont hesitate to join if you are ready to get and stay in shape! You will also meet some very great like-minded people too!

Just tried my first class with Greg and it was great! Greg was an incredibly patient instructor and very encouraging. The workout was definitely something unique and I highly recommend your trying it out for yourself!

Just back from contrast therapy.While the experience was life changing, anybody can fill a tub with ice water and heat up a sauna.What set Mekanix apart for me was Justins attention and sensitivity in coaching. Never having done it before, I was full of anxiety. Before, during, and after, he said the most effective things at the right times for me, as well as the others doing it at the same time, which must have come from a mix of his experience coaching others and his listening to me before and during for what brought me there and what I would respond to.The result: I succeeded more than I expected. I stayed 2 minutes (about 1:45 longer than I would have without coaching) the first time in the ice bath and 3 minutes the second and third. The third time I was relaxed, breathing calmly. The calmness allowed me to understand the mental and physical skills I was developing. He also fostered a community of mutual support with the other people there so we shared our experiences with each other supportively, strengthening each others resolve.The meaning: It wasnt just a physical experience about endurance or therapy. It became about developing skills to handle challenge and adversity.Justin helped me do something I considered impossible. Thats why I exercise and get coaching -- to lead me beyond boundaries, to grow, to become stronger, to enable, to apply what you learn in the gym to life. Justin and Mekanix are about more than just getting fit. I got a complete experience of physical, mental, and emotional growth, tuned to my needs based on listening and observing me as an individual. I enjoyed talking with others there -- Mekanix has a friendly, supportive community.Im heading back for high intensity training in a couple days.

This place is great. Their workouts are an excellent mix of strength and conditioning. Ever since I was diagnosed with arthritis in the hips I have been looking for a way to replace running. Calisthenics fits the bill perfectly. The instructors were quick to tune the workout to my individual needs. The team environment is very helpful as well in motivating me to push myself a bit further each time.One big thing that I personally like about this calisthenics gym vs a CrossFit environment is that it focuses on doing exercises with the right form and with body weight.

Mekanix is such a great gym. Unique concept, quality and knowledgeable trainers. They offer guided training classes throughout the week and each challenges your skill, flexibility, strength and more regardless of where you fitness level is.If youve never heard of calisthenics before, you need to give this gym a try! Its not like crossfit or other gyms that you may have tried in the past. Sign up for a free class and check it out for your self! I promise that you wont be disappointed.

Wow. What a workout! I went with coworkers, and Justin was great at challenging each of us based on our own levels of fitness. Not only did we focus on building strength, we also focused on improving mobility and breath - which are often overlooked - using functional exercises and body weight. Regardless of anyones existing workouts, everyone can learn something from Justin that they can incorporate into their routines.

Challenging and well-designed workouts, amazing trainers, great community. Can’t say enough good things about it!

Been going here about a month and love the workouts. Theyre challenging and creative, and the just fun. I recommend this for anyone looking to take their workouts to the next level.

After years of frequenting a typical big box gym, I had been tossing around the idea of mixing up my exercise routine with something new and different. So when a friend mentioned Mekanix and their unique body-weight training with calisthenics , I perked up... and a few days later, signed up. The class was engaging, challenging, and at times, flat out exhausting. It was clear that I was working my body in ways that I never had before. I also appreciated that equipment was new and that the facility was clean and well-maintained. And a big shout out to our instructor, Candice, for explaining each exercise so well, keeping us moving through them at a quick pace and for encouraging us to push our limits by squeezing out that last rep or two. I highly recommend.

There is no other gym I would rather train at. Body weight programs are the way forward. Ive been training here since its inception; professional instruction, clean modern amenities, and great positive environment with support, guidance and encouragement. I highly recommend giving this place a tray. Be warned though, the work outs are no joke! They are structured and you cannot get away with cheating. You will definitely see improvements immediately.

Just joined and really enjoy Mekanix! The instructors are so supportive, each workout is unique, and I come out feeling great and accomplished after a workout or power breathing session.

I dropped into Mekanix when I was traveling through Houston, and I was so impressed with the knowledge of the coaches and quality of the facility. I wish there was a mekanix where I live, because I feel like incorporating it into my weekly routine would help injury-proof my body and keep pushing the boundaries of what it can do.

Joined a few months ago and have had much progress! Knowledgeable trainers know how to prepare you for more advanced movements and keep you injury free. As with any training program you get out what you put in. But the workouts are different from what I was used to so theyve helped me get out of the plateau. Keep the gains coming!

This place is legit. Youll learn natural movements to build strength and prevent injury. Youll meet great people who are like minded and inspiring. And... you might take a three minute ice bath.

Mekanix is an amazing gym, great workout! The classes are fun and energetic. The instructors are great and teach you how to focus on building strength and balance with good form.

I workout at my own gym three times a week, so I think Im fit, and I decided to try Mekanix because I like the idea of a workout focused on using body weight instead of barbells, etc.After I left your gym at 7 AM (yes AM) yesterday I was thinking That was a fun workout, but it didnt really wear me out... Later in the day, however, I was feeling a tiny twinge or two in my hamstrings and reassessed, thinking, I guess the workout used my legs in ways I didnt notice. By the time I went to bed, I had forgotten the pain in my fog of sleepiness from getting up for the 6 AM class. In fact, all I was thinking was, I sure woke up early today. Im bushed. Then... morning arrived. Aaagh! But it is a GOOD pain. :) Whenever I stand up or sit down i feel part of my quads and part of my hams. Ouch!!! It makes me smile every time even though Im sure I look old and crippled.The instructor was encouraging and fun and I felt real camaraderie with the other victims, er, participants, in the class. He pushed us, but in a very positive way. So. It wasnt just a good workout. It was a GREAT workout.

After following THENX for a few months online and practicing by myself at home decided to really start Calisthenics training and found Mekanix in HTX. Edgar my Instructor has been providing deep knowledge and training to reach my goals and I have progressed like never before. Training there is fun and professional. I truly recommend Mekanix to anyone who has clear goals and strives to achieve them.

This place is amazing. Great total body workout and the trainers are awesome. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Excellent instruction and great workout focusing on different variations and progressions of body weight exercises. Will definitely be coming back here

How dose it work, is it like a monthly gym membership? If so how much is? Some information please

Very nice facility and well trained instructors who teach a great full body workout class. Two weeks in and I have seen great improvements in my range of motion, core strength and physique.

I’m hooked on Fire & Ice at Mekanix Calisthenics Gym in Montrose. My recovery has never been this rejuvenating and my workout stats just keep improving since I started incorporating this into my routine.I’ve been going hard in training to pass the Air Force ASOS / TACP physical requirements and this recovery method has made a huge difference for me. Im PRing everything at the gym. I also track my light and deep sleep, and the stats from my deep sleep went from about 2.5 hours per night to about 6.5 after partaking in Fire & Ice.How does it work? You spend 3 min in the ice bath followed by approximately 15 min in the sauna. Repeat 3x and do one final ice bath dunk at the end.If you’re killing it and feeling run down, check them out and ask for Justin. Hell take great care of you. It’s made a HUGE difference for me!

Great new workout concept for me that is very challenging! Saturday 9AM class certainly sets the tone for my weekend! Not to mention the instructors and class mates are very friendly and welcoming!

Awesome gym in the city. Challenging no matter what level youre at, always feel accomplished after leaving a session.

Awesome new gym. Love the body weight workouts. The instructors are fantastic.

I love Mekanix ! I got in to the Calistictics workout 2-3 years ago. I just watched youtube and did the best I could then I found Mekanix. I met Justin and the very first day we made a long term plan to grow my skills. I live 2 hours away so I come in from time to time for those guys to help fix my technique and refocus my workouts. My first year I was able to master the muscle-up, front lever and rear lever. Now my focus is on handstands, strick muscle-ups on the rings and the flag. I was afraid the distance would have been tough but these guys have the experience and the flexibility to show you how to conquer your goals! Oh yea... I’m 48 years old so don’t think you can’t do it. It’s for all ages! Come join me to grow the Calistictics in our community!Joseph Griffith

Make this your new workout! Great instructors, cool space, sore muscles. Everything you need.

This is a unique gym with fantastic trainers who take a holistic approach to fitness and overall health. Not to be confused with Crossfit, the primary training format is rooted in a variety of calisthenics protocols that anyone can step into if they want to learn to grow strong, flexible and mobile using only their bodyweight and a few basic tools that have been around since the dawn of civilization (bars, ropes and rings). They offer guided training throughout the week typically structured as routines focused on Push/ Pull / Leg movements, and they provide additional sessions focused on breathing, flexibility, and recovery. If you want to learn how to dial-in in that perfect straight handstand, Jimmy offers a class at noon on Sundays to do just that for you. Ive had nothing but positive experiences with Mekanix and I highly recommend anyone to try it out for themselves accordingly.

Horrible! ive been doing calisthenics for years... I attended one of these expensive classes and all we did was pushing exercises. I even did some of the movements horribly wrong to see if the instructor would catch it and say something and he did not.If youd like to throw away your money and compound your physical issues then I would say throw your body away with this gym. If you prefer not having injuries and getting hurt by these novice instructors then PLEASE just stay at home or go use a park and dont pay for it

Awesome class with Sean! Great vibes, great instruction, and great music selection!

What an experience!! I truly believe Calisthenic make me stronger and the staff here are second to none, you have to try it to believe it.

Ooofff these guys nailed it. Nothing like this anywhere, and I have been a fitness junky for almost two decades. I have had memberships at several gyms like, Equinox, lifetime fitnesss onyx and the one in Katy, Big Yoga, LA fitness, 24 hrs, crossfits, etc.I knew I was needing something and I was ready to step up my game so I came to check It out, and it completely surpassed my expectations.Here are my highlights of my experience for the last 4 months since Ive joined.The instructors are highly trained and have an extensive background in calisthenics as well as gymnastics, they are very talented, dedicated, patient and very creative.The workouts in which we isolate muscle groups has made such an impact on all my other type of sports and routines such as cycling and aereals. An example is core compressions, look it up.The workouts are always coached with at least 3 diff levels of difficultiy therefore when I first starting coming I was able to plug in easily and gradually push my self avoiding injuries.They are also very balanced, therefore you dont just emphasize on lower body or upper body.Its just a cool place, I have gotten so strong and I cant wait til I can do some of the awesome stuff some of the people in here can do. Its a fun environment, its super inviting and I dont feel like Im a number. Its like have a personal trainer and work out with your friends. The classes are intimate and you get plenty attention.

Awesome people to work out with! Excellent instructor!!

Best class ever! Im coming back.

Knowledgeable staff, good workouts, good vibes all around

ConTrast do it!!!
