I don't know her name, but she was fantastic with breathing techniques and stretch, stretching techniques and form.

Along with clean bathrooms with blow dryers and all the essentials you need to take a shower and head to your next spot. A very IG SPOT!

I recently moved back to Houston and have been looking for a Pilates studio. TruFusion came up in…read moremy search and I was attracted by the promotion advertising a free first class. I later found out that the free class doesn't include reformer Pilates, so I signed up for a Yin Yoga class instead. I've been practicing yoga for over two decades. Signing up online was easy but I received a flood of emails asking me to download different apps along with multiple email and text reminders for one class. Personally, I found the reminders excessive. The studio wasn't very busy when I arrived around 4:30 pm. However, I wasn't told which room my class was in, so I found myself wandering around until another member kindly pointed me in the right direction. Unfortunately, my first interaction with the instructor left a poor impression. As I was walking into the room and putting my phone on silent, she immediately said, "No phones inside." The comment came across as abrupt and presumptive. I wasn't planning to use my phone during class as I was simply silencing it before putting it away. A friendlier approach would have made a much better first impression. She then asked me to grab two yoga blocks. Once inside, I found the room extremely dim. As someone with low vision, it was difficult to navigate and I briefly considered leaving. Since I was already there and because I'd practiced hundreds of Yin Yoga classes but had never experienced a heated Yin class, I decided to stay. I'm actually a longtime fan of heated yoga and love Bikram yoga (now hot yoga) when it first opened in HTX. The class itself was somewhat enjoyable and I felt good both during and afterward. After class, I wasn't sure where to return the yoga blocks. Another student asked me the same question and we quickly realized we were both first-time visitors. This highlighted something that could easily be improved: it would be helpful if instructors spent just a minute welcoming first-time students and explaining a few basics, such as studio etiquette, where to put props after class, and any post-class expectations. Small touches like that can make newcomers feel much more comfortable. Before leaving, I checked out the locker rooms and noticed they have showers. The facility is spacious and offers a wide variety of classes, including aerial yoga, which looked interesting. Overall, the studio has a lot to offer. However, the onboarding experience and instructor interaction could be more welcoming for first-time visitors. While the facility is impressive, I'm not sure I can justify paying over $200/month for a membership although there are lower tiers. in addition, I travel abroad frequently and read that there is a $35 fee to freeze the account.

I enjoy Define since I discovered it when visiting my mom in Houston. I also am a big fan of…read moreKayla's classes, and she teaches at several studios including this Rivers Oaks one. I have also been taking livestream classes from Define from my home during the pandemic. The classes are a good price ($12) compared the in-studio ones, and there are offerings from 5:30 AM to 7:00 PM, across all types of workouts. The studios are renting equipment for people who do not have that at home. However, since I am several states away, I am already set up with what I have here. I have taken bounce and body classes via livestream and the sound quality is great. There are one or two instructors on zoom, and one is cueing while another is demo-ing. I was also able to take two free classes (one body and one bounce) with the founder, Henry Richardson. I actually was able to talk to him both times before he started the class and he was so nice. My friend joined the bounce class and enjoyed his calm but motivating energy. If livestream continues as some studios open up, I will continue to take them from Kansas.

Can we say snooty?! It was my first time here, and the receptionist had me sign a waiver. But,…read moreafter that, she wasn't very helpful. She just stayed in her seat minding to her own business. I had to ask her how to use the lockers, which had combination locks that didn't even work. I tried two different lockers already. Safe to say, I just brought my handbag into the cycling room because I couldn't trust the security of my things. The spin instructor was not very welcoming either. I had to set up my own stationary bike seat level, and I would've liked a little bit more help to make sure I was comfortable before starting the workout. I mean, the class was only 50% full. Once I did get started, the workout was challenging only because I kept the resistance on my bike up. Otherwise, the instructor was pretty lukewarm with her enthusiasm during the workout. Also, what the heck is up with the dimmed lighting?! I mean, if we were doing yoga or meditation, I get it. But, an intense cardio workout? I couldn't even see some of the moves she was telling me to do, to be honest. The lights should've just stayed on. Even then, the workout music was playing even louder than the instructor was talking. So, I barely knew what she was saying too. I don't feel there was effective communication at all. I wish the workout music was more upbeat as well. I mean, at one point, Ed Sheeran's song, "Perfect" started playing. I was like, wth? There were only women in the room. Awkward. Otherwise, the facility is very clean. They have a bathroom next to the changing rooms. They have automatic hand sanitizers and a water dispensing station. Also, they did give me a free pair of rental shoes for the spin class because it was my first time here. So, that was nice. I don't know that I'd be back, though, just because the customer service was not great, and the workout was not very inspiring.

I have a theory about OrangeTheory, which is that very fit young people are attracted to it. So if…read moreyou're working on your fitness, and you have a witness, you might want to work on it here. So in the heart of River Oaks, this expensive fitness center is absolutely full of beautiful people all the time. Not including myself because I'm not that pretty. I checked it out because it's right next to my salad place, and whoa, just one visit and I'm thinking of signing up. They're very friendly and most come here for a lot of classes and stuff. It's on the expensive side doesn't have the bare bones gym stuff that I require, because it's more geared towards specialized fitness classes, but I love it anyway, and it's perfect for River Oaks, perhaps just not perfect for me.

I was seriously conflicted writing this review since I absolutely adored the trainers:…read moreprofessional, dedicated and hard-working but appalled by the management; making the decision easier to do so. We (my sister, friend and I) bought this deal on Groupon - unlimited 30Xpress classes for $19. Whoa! Considering that it normally costs $280+ for the same classes, what a steal! Like the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it is." I agree. The management's communication (lack thereof) was jaw-dropping. We were able to work a deal with Renee, one of the awesome managers, so we can continue after the Groupon deal ended. First week into the newly paid verbal contract, which is considered valid in Texas, Dawn, one of the owners, called to inform that the deal was not valid and that they were not going to "eat the cost" since the deal was undervalued. A management staff member accepted the negotiated pricing and accepted payment for said service, yet she is calling us out implying that we were essentially "taking" sessions not paid for. After, the LOUD and heated conversation she had with my sister on the phone, which can be heard easily by anyone more than a few feet away, was very unprofessional. Why is she arguing and putting the blame on the client? Then, she informed us she would not give us a refund, SERVICES WERE NOT RENDERED, one week after the deal was made. We agreed that we would break the amount paid into weekly portions and pay that portion accordingly; she vehemently disagreed until she talked to her husband. She called a short time later after her husband agreed to offer the full refund and a week free of training. We contemplated going since the ordeal with the management made it uncomfortable but the trainers are awesome. Several days later, we went. Day 1, Boxing trainer, Vincent, was no longer an employee, so we can only work out with the other trainer, Terrence. Management did not inform that the trainer would be let go, so they agreed to bring him back so we can train with him for the week. We greatly appreciated that, especially when an employee called the evening before to ensure our schedule would remain the same as previously taken. Results: Trainers - awesome! Management - fail!

I cannot review on the actual class since I was not actually able to take the class…read more I purchase a 5 session deal from Living Social and today would have been my first class. However, I drive 15 miles only to have the instructor not show up. This class is only an hour long and was supposed to start at 8:30am and there were 5 of us waiting outside until around 9am. There was no note on the door or a response from either of the 2 phone numbers posted on the front of the door. I called the main phone number only to have an answering service take my name and number and tell me that some one will return my call. One of the gentleman waiting with us mentioned that the same thing happened to the Tuesday class and the instructor was a no show and they still have not heard back from the studio as to the reason for it. Their website requires a 24 hour advance notice for any cancelation. How about extending that courtesy to us too?

Archie Weston has been an incredible asset to EōS Fitness. He provided a thorough tour of the facility and thoughtfully recommended a personal trainer based on the goals and needs I shared. His friendly demeanor, dedication to excellence, and commitment to providing exceptional service truly reflect the class and professionalism that represent EōS Fitness so well. Derek Dunn, my personal trainer, has been absolutely exceptional. He brings a positive attitude, a wonderful sense of humor, and genuine respect and compassion to both his work and his clients. Through training with Derek, I have gained valuable knowledge about how the body works, which has been especially beneficial at this stage of my life. He is patient and supportive, yet consistently encourages me to push myself and stay committed--even on the days when I feel like giving up. Both Archie and Derek are tremendous assets to EōS Fitness. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication have made a significant impact on my fitness journey, and I am grateful for the outstanding experience they provide.

Thankfully, my friend has a membership that allows for a guest each month, so I've experienced this studio twice. Both times I took a class with Shannon H, who is great for instructing Lagree newbs and offering a quick refresher before class. Both classes I worked up a healthy sweat and had full body soreness the next day(s). They also offer Versaclimber classes, which I've yet to try, but the clients that walk out of that class are always drippin' in sweat!

Walking into the gym, I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff. They told me there were lockers with key locks available. Just give your drivers license to them, and they can loan you a temporary card to insert into the locker to use the key lock. You will get your drivers license back when you leave. The locker room was spacious, bathroom was clean, showers were available, and water fountains/water filling stations were there to quench your thirst. The gym itself was bright and spacious. It's got all the equipment needed to work out. Free weights, a leg press machine, free standing weight machines, treadmills, ellipticals, kettle bells, stability balls, medicine balls. Well, I'm sure I've forgotten something. It wasn't packed at all when I came here, which I liked. I was free to use any and all equipment for as long as I needed to. If you're really ambitious, they do offer CrossFit classes at different pricing packages. I, myself, have an aversion to CrossFit. In my opinion, it feels like cardio and weightlifting done too quickly without enough rest in between, which can have the potential to cause an injury. Overall, though, I think this gym will be a regular spot to get some serious working out done.
