I started my fitness journey with Core Theory Fitness back in January 2018. Since then, my physical…read moreand mental health has never been better! My initial goal was to lose weight and increase my endurance, but since then, April and I have worked together to adjust accordingly to my many life-changing events (i.e., travels, graduation, school, health condition). Some of the things we worked on are: - Forms - Strength - Balance - Nutrition - Yoga - Meditation April is not just a personal trainer but a life coach. She is creative with your personalized workout, flexible with your schedule, an incredible listener and set you up for success! My progress has been beyond my expectations. I developed a more positive and routinized lifestyle; which benefitted me during college and currently at my new job. The weight I wanted to lose was lost, and now we are working on muscle gaining. I highly recommend April and Core Theory Fitness for all your health/fitness goals.

April is a fantastic trainer. With her 5-year background as an amateur boxer and 10 years of…read morefitness expertise, she serves clients in her training facility, Core Theory Fitness.

I recommend April and Core Theory Fitness to anyone looking for a good fitness program.

I look for three things in a CrossFit box: (1) a challenging WOD, (2) coaches who care, and (3)…read moregood community of athletes . It is for those three reasons I whole heartedly recommend Iron Oak. The coaches will take the time to help you understand the movement, and the objective of the movement. Better still, they will provide mobility tips to ensure you can perform the movement correctly. If you live in Houston, this is your box! If you are visiting, do not waste your time shopping around, there is no better box in Houston!

For years I've been a CrossFit skeptic, but the great folks at Iron Oak have won me over. I signed…read moreup about 6 weeks ago. The coaches are very welcoming, knowledgeable about the movements, and create an atmosphere of camaraderie that makes everyone feel accepted no matter their level of fitness. I'd even feel good about bringing my own mother to this gym. Now how many CroffFit-ers can say that? Also, they are intentional about their training methodology. I am a very analytical athlete, coming from an endurance background of triathlons and running, and knowing where we are headed with our training and why we're going there is important to me. In my first conversation with Colin (even before signing up) he was able to explain to me what was coming down the training pipeline in the next several weeks and what the next phases of training were going to be. They actually put some thought into where their athletes are going rather than just randomly throwing together workouts for the sake of variety. Iron Oak takes the correct approach, knowing that in order to get good at something you need to do it with some amount of frequency. But there's plenty of variety in our workouts to keep the boredom away. A few other things: - The longer class (1 hour 15 minutes) means there's plenty of time to do the workout rather than rush through everything. - I feel very safe under the coach's supervision. - They have a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE facility! That means there's room to push sleds around, run, do farmer carries, etc., all without going outside. And they have a fridge should you need some mid WOD snackage. I'd highly recommend this CrossFit for anyone.

I have found a new personal training "home." I have been working out with a personal trainer for…read morealmost 10 years and the last ~ 5 with the same person (Mike W). During these crazy times, with the gyms closed, I was worried about digression (aka back sliding). I had been going to the Y (where I worked with Mike), but they naturally closed, furloughed Mike and don't plan to reestablish their PT program till mid summer (maybe!!). I could not wait any longer. So I learned about Body 3 and have been working out there with Mike and I could not be more happy, pleased and relieved to have a new "home". They are super clean, conscientious and attentive AND competitively priced. Highly recommend.

I've had the pleasure to call F45 Tanglewood my home for…read morealmost 3 years. I'm an avid member of the 6AM classes and leave feeling great and ready to start my day. The coaches are friendly, supportive, and also challenging. You have the option to sign up for membership by number of classes/month to unlimited. The pricing for all of them is super reasonable compared to some of the other group fitness gyms out there. Out of all the F45 studios I've been to Tanglewood is by far the cleanest and most well kept. The coaches clean and vacuum the studio after each class and trust me it makes all the difference. If you've been considering joining, this is your sign to do it!

You really have nothing to lose.

After searching for a gym and personal trainer that wasn't like the normal, generic gym where you…read moreoften felt like a number or having to deal with people staring and competing; Shana Ross's website popped up in my Google search and it was near my area. Even though her website was a bit old school, I read every word and was moved by her story. I decided to check it out and I signed up for personal training. To be frank, I wasn't a big fan at first, working from home over these past 2 years and being less active wasn't doing my body any favors and it was really hard in the beginning. But I stuck with it (and sticking with it) and I'm so grateful I did! I couldn't hold a plank for 5 seconds, now I'm holding it at 30 seconds. I couldn't do 10 pounds on the machine, and now I'm doing 80 pounds. Mary Beth is my trainer and I'm so very grateful that I get the honor of working out with her. She gets me, and can read my mind. She can tell when I'm talking negatively to myself and addresses it. If I bring up an issue like the time I told her that I had a charlie horse that woke me up in the middle of the night in my calf. She gave me (a natural, non-medicated) solution that instantly helped. She has taught me the power of breathing and corrects my positioning (and I don't care how many YouTube workout videos you do-- no one can give you feedback or make sure you're doing it properly). She also knows when I'm cheating myself like when I don't squat all the way, she addresses it with firmness and love. Also, the gym environment is warm and friendly and you can tell the other trainers love their job, and the other clients love them too. It's really the best and it's an investment that I'm so glad I made in myself. Highly recommend if you need support in your fitness & wellness journey!
