The facilities are well maintained, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. Whether for fitness, recreation, or social time, the space feels thoughtfully designed. The staff is professional, friendly, and always helpful. The overall environment is welcoming and well organized, making it easy to relax and enjoy your time there. Overall, Memorial City/Club delivers quality service and a great experience. I would highly recommend it and look forward to visiting again.

Legit…read more It's a pretty elite Gym which only serves people that work in the area, and it's kinda fancy but also kind of expensive which I suppose makes sense, because if the earnings of the people that work around here are anything to go by, then this is expected to cost a lot. But it does seem a bit elitist, and also I think the fact that it opens at 5:30 can be a bit of a problem, because if you work here at Memorial City and you start at 8, that might be okay as long as you only want a quick workout, but if you work somewhere else in Houston and you start even as late as 9 then good luck getting done with a 2-hour workout and getting to work in time.

The Villages Gym is the perfect place for everyone from newbies to fitness to gladiators that take on marathons. It has everything you need, but in a smaller, comfortable and clean space that allows you to work hard and feel comfortable doing it. To me, its the "Cheers" feel about it where everyone knows my name and is supportive of my efforts. Getting to the gym is a feat for me, I'm no athlete, and these guys always greet me with smile that is like that inner-high-five feeling. It keeps me coming back. Highly recommend their personal trainers. I see Heather Sholl, but I know they are all good. PS if you are looking for big lights, big city gym with complicated contracts, a pool, climbing wall and squash courts - this isn't for you. If you are looking for support while you do a workout using Pilates equipment, free weights, treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, weight machines, etc and a comfortable place to change and shower, you'll love it. And by the way, if you don't love it, its no big deal because you pay month to month. The owner says they want people there who want to be there - not because they are contractually bound. Yes!

I've never been much of a gym person but after loosing my love for running (I was that actual…read moreperson who ran one marathon and went "yeah this is really terrible") I knew I needed to find a new form of exercise for both my physical health as well as my mental health. Living in the energy corridor I had a lot of different options but I did not want a cookie cutter gym, I wanted somewhere that I could belong, somewhere that I felt the staff would get to know me and not judge me if- and when- I did something wrong. Plus I wanted classes- I LOVE group exercise classes cause I have no idea what to do on my own. So I took my then boyfriend and we went to MAC. We really found it to be a welcoming place. It is not the cheapest around but one thing I have learned is that I would always rather have quality in the things that affect my overall well being. I have made friends at this gym, I have been through Harvey and road construction with this gym and I always felt valued as a member. I've been kept in the loop- they do a fantastic job of hosting different types of events and keeping their social media up to date. And now through what is proving to be one of the most interesting events to happen they continue to show their dedication to members by offering youtube classes and free virtual classes. Every day they are posting and making sure there is something to do and a way to get a workout in even at home. This is far more than a gym but truly also a community and a family.

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've always played with the idea of having a personal trainer because of the knowledge and encouragement they possess. I started having Ivan train me about a month ago and in just 3 weeks, I've already felt the difference in my body, strength, and endurance! Not only does he teach me about form, but he's a great hype man! The rest of the trainers are great also - friendly, positive, and fun to be around - allows the space to be a fun atmosphere to be around. I'm currently working on a 3 month transformation that he's helping me with and included will be meal plans along with 2x week training. I heard about their foam rolling/stretching session that I will start to incorporate! Highly recommend and worth the investment!

But unfortunately we were stopped from going up stairs to the class, this is really odd when the past few weeks when I go to the Zumba classes here I see the little girl with her mom each time. I don't know if it's a gender bias or something? Boys are not encouraged to go to LA Fitness Zumba? I'll take him to the studio classes at Lifetime instead then. We went yesterday and he followed along fine! Not sure why I keep this extra membership. Was hoping to get more Zumba in for me and son...guess maybe don't need to keep it if we can't attend more Zumba classes. Lifetime doesn't have as many Zumba as LA but has better kids care, swim, and pickleball that's unlimited for the whole family including kids. There's also Parents night out Kidcare that runs late for dates or if you wanna work out longer or play more PB. Or the can sit on the PB court also. Gonna be rethinking this LAF membership or just avoid this location.
