I hate driving. I hate driving so much that I live 15 mins…read morefrom work and love cities that have public transportation (I'm in the wrong city, I know). In a series of unrelated events, I ended up driving 55 minutes each way to Woodlands yesterday. Why? Because I rolled my left ankle over two wks ago (don't do jumping squat turns - or do them, and land correctly) and the swelling wasn't going down even after two days of icing it then resting it for two wks. A friend of mine training in the Soma Methodology with the French osteopath Guy Voyer recommended that I go see Jonathan at Antidote. They met at a training. He said the Woodlands and I balked. But Jonathan is literally the only guy in the southeast Texas region who can do fascia pumping. What the heck does that mean? Getting fluids inside and around your muscles to move. What good does that do? Increase joint mobility, correct the direction of joint/muscle movement, and reduce inflammation/swelling. ... is what I understood it to be. (I could be wrong, so ask Jonathan.) My friend spends thousands of dollars learning from Monsieur Voyer (the man gives seminars in NY, Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, and Montreal, so learning in those cities involves travel and lodging costs) and apparently so does Jonathan - and Jonathan's been doing this longer than my friend has. So what could I do. I kind of value my ankle. The ability to walk freely is a nice thing to have. Plus, the idea of even having the slightest impact on accessing my shoe collection at will was petrifying enough that I chose to drive the distance. And I'm glad I did! We met at CoreFit, and Jonathan explained the procedure as well as some of his training. I was familiar with some of it so we discussed Soma and tangents off that. The session lasted over an hour and the whole time he tended to and guided the lengthening/relaxing of the muscles in my ankle/feet/shin while engaging in conversation. He even helped increase the space between the muscles in my feet so that I wouldn't get feet cramps as much. And the swelling in my ankle reduced a bit as well. Jonathan also taught me some exercises for my ankle - a homework, if you will, which I appreciated, because that means he cares about your well-being beyond his session with you. I'm happy to say that the session was pleasant, effective, and overall well-worth the drive - a rare compliment from the driving-hating individual that is me. If you have any joint/muscle/ligament/disc issues, consult Jonathan.

But as my career escalated and my family grew, my spare time almost became non existent. So back in 2010 I walked in this small little place and found a huge surprise. Mike's gym was producing large amounts of men and women for body building and fitness completions. Not to mention taking the over weight and out-a-shape regular folks like myself and making us ready for swimsuit season again. I became amazed that it was people of all ages and body types that walked thru the door and were just looking to improve themselves. I bought 12 / 1 hour sessions With one of the trainers and Mike made me personalized meal plan. After 3 weeks we took measurements and body fat %. I was excited that I was quickly moving in the right direction so I got a new meal plan and now I'm feeling better and my wife is checking me out more and more. I really can't speak highly enough about this place. The good attitude from his staff and the quality of the training greatly surpasses the price.

Unfortunately despite repeated reporting to the manager/supervisor things are getting worse. 2. For almost $80 I pay for a locker, I am supposed to receive free laundry but practically I can't use this service because their laundry service destroyed one of my t-shirts and I was never compensated for it. 3. Their recovery room is closed for 1.5 hours (2:00-3:30) every business day which makes no sense. For the upscale club that this is supposed to be, the above issues should not exist.
