How do you go to sleep skinny and wake up fat?! Well, that's what happened to me...that's my story…read moreand I'm sticking to it. Almost 2 years ago I moved to Houston for work, where I work from home most times. Being in a new city not knowing anyone and working from home is the perfect storm to gain weight. I've tried working out on my own, diets, and other gyms but could never stick with it or saw any results. Finally I made up my mind this weight was not ok and I needed to make a change...I wanted a personal trainer. I did some research on Yelp and looked in to a few different trainers. But hit the jackpot when I found Above the Bar Fitness! I went in for my consulting and got the full run down on Above the Bar Fitness and took a short tour of the gym. They train out of The Core gym, the gym is clean with top of the line equipment. The gym is mostly a trainer/client environment so there aren't any classes offered. Above the Bar Fitness is a team of two trainers, Nicole and Jen. Both are very qualified and want to see you succeed. They listen to what your concerns are what your goals are and tweaking workouts to help you achieve those goals. They push you past what you think your limit is but in an encouraging way. With each workout you feel yourself getting stronger and leaner. If you're looking for a new training I definitely suggest you contact Above the Bar Fitness.

Awesome! Nicole and…read moreJennifer provide a great service: dedication and results while having fun! Key aspects to highlight: - They understand your starting point and where you wanna get - Set realistic goals - Monthly stats to track progress - Routine is personalized and changes periodically - They explain you why you do everything and more important, how to do it right! The gym is fully equipped and used only by personal trainers - no need to wait or fight to do the next set. I had to stop training for personal reasons but would definitely be back soon with them!

Highly recommend if you want a smaller gym with huge experience and skilled instructors that offer personal instruction.

I will start off by saying this review may be a bit lengthy, but worth the read. I found Illuminate…read moreFitness through Instagram when I was thinking I would hire a personal trainer for my wedding next March. I recognized one of the gorgeous personal trainers Jourdan from high school and immediately reached out to her and filled out the intake form. Seeing how in shape she was and her feed really motivated me to pursue this gym. The intake process was relatively quick and I came in for my first session with Jourdan. She showed me a couple of workouts and showed me around both Illuminate Fitness and Illuminate sweat. We sat down and discussed goals and I was so pumped to start this journey. I will say from the first meeting I was so hooked by Jourdans bubbly personality. She is SO freaking sweet. She set me up with my current PT, Kelly who I adore. It's been about five weeks since I've started my meal plan and training with Kelly twice a week as well as attending the group classes four times a week. I've seen so much change in my body and even on the inside (my confidence, self esteem etc) I could literally cry. I was lying to myself before I started coming here eating whatever I wanted and "working out" in a constant cycle of going 110% and then quitting. I was so tired of the BS. This gym has transformed me inside and out. Everyone here is extremely genuine and supportive. I love that I have them to look up to. I love the community feel and how they are always looking out for their clients. I want to give a major shout out to Kelly, Jourdan, Nate, Colby, Emily and the rest of the team for everything you guys do for your clients. You guys really have something amazing going on here and I can't wait to see this business blow up. Y'all are amazing. And may I add I have lost four pounds, four percent body fat and gained about 3 pounds of muscle. I will attach my InBody results to show you, that you can do it to. I'm a nurse who works 3x a week. Once I cut the excuses, the results came. I'm so so happy. Can't wait to see my future results.

I also like the weight room as it has an impressive selection of smith machines and cardio equipment such as the treadmills which have fans incorporated into their machines. There are 3 things I have noticed that I don't like: 1. the weight room doesn't have a bench that allows you to do workouts in declined mode and the staff wouldn't let me donate a commercial bench with that option. so Declined DB or BB press cannot be done which is strange as it is offered at most corporate gyms. 2. DB selections for the most common weights sets such as 10-25 lb are lacking with only 1 set of DB weights per designated weight for a gym that might have 15 people working out in free weight room (the very least offer *3 sets of 12 lb dumbbells). 3. the men's locker rooms wooden benches and the three leather seats by the tv are stinky dirty and we know this bc every-time I placed my towel on the seats or the bench to change out of my clothes; this foul smell is left on the towel. The smell is so potent that it transfers to my gym bag like trash left out on the sun for several days and I find myself having to wash the towel and the gym bag just to get the homeless stench off. I have learned to avoid the men's locker room like a plague and instead use the lockers found across the gym to put my belongings.

Trotter has a heated outdoor lap pool that is open year round. The hours are generous although beginning 2/10/25 it is closed 2:00-4:00. I generally can go at any time & get a lane without having to wait. I have a lane to myself more often than I have to share. I highly recommend the Y summer day camp. I don't have kids, but the Y has lots of activities for kids & seniors as well!

He knows what he is doing, pays attention, and genuinely wants the best for his clients. THE CORE gym is clean and has plenty of parking. When the previous gym shut abruptly, Brice had us up and running in the current gym basically overnight. Amazing. He prices his services to motivate you to go 3x a week. That may sound like a lot but it creates a routine. And that's GOOD. He pushes you in a "you can do this" way but is realistic if the weight is just too much. Brice balances the sessions so that your whole body gets a workout over the week. And he is big on stretching. He works hard to plan productive sessions where your time is valued. Not much on chitchat and no "lollygagging". Heather covers on certain days of the week; she is knowledgeable as well with a dry sense of humor. I highly recommend giving them a try. Your first workout is complimentary, I think, so really what do you have to lose? Just do it. It's time.
