I came to Slava Boxing in late July for what was the women's boxing class from 5-6PM. It was fairly…read morenew, not many women were in the class. By, September I was the only woman in this time slot. In October, I was asked how I felt about them turning the class to male/female.. I had no problem. I was enjoying my classes with trainer Sergio even though the class lacked new attendees. As the holidays rolled around, I informed Sergio I would most likely not be attending until after New Years. Today is 1/8/19. After New Years, I come back to Slava and I am told Sergio is no longer an instructor and I will be in Jesse's class. Knowing the age of Sergio and being in college, I was not deterred by someone new. I quickly learned why I was later told to take the class before paying. The new instructor for their 5-6PM classes is garbage. I didn't even complete the hour because within the first half hour he told me to "practice on the bags" with no instruction. In fact he sat down on the mat looking at his phone while I spent ROUNDS of warming up. Keep in mind this is a instructed class and I was just doing something I can do by myself at a regular gym and pay less for. When I finally got fed up that the new instructor was just letting time pass, I walked over to the gym owner and asked what am I doing in this class, his new instructor was not interacting with me, he's not instructing. I was told "What do you expect?" and I had to TELL HIM "Well, it's a class! I expect interaction and to be taught something like the previous teacher did." He told me "It's your decision to pay to be here." and "You don't have to be part of this gym." With that response, I decided to no longer pay to be here. Slava boxing does not value it's members. The owner is unprofessional and rude. And for the record, during this conversation he was SMOKING! All the previous reviews are right, for owning a gym it's astounding he finds it okay to smoke inside of it. As I once enjoyed being part of this gym, I quickly learned the owner does not value the members of his gym. Previous reviews are telling and you should spend your money elsewhere.

Prior to that, I had a SERIOUS health scare brought on by a stressful work lifestyle and terrible personal health habits. At any rate, since I discovered Slava, the workout here has helped me drop about 50 lbs, greatly improved my stamina, my strength, my mental confidence, mood, and just general well being! This place is a great old-school boxing gym and environment. No frills, no pressure, just solid technique and instruction. Highly recommended - great place, great people, and a desire to help you succeed in your goals!

GREAT gym! Boutique feel where folks seem to care about their health and fitness without the hype…read more There are plenty of options (pilates, weight-training, etc...) They have great trainers who are focused on truly helping you with professionalism and experience, not like at the big box gyms. Ask for Will -- we've really enjoyed our new lifestyle with his coaching. We're both more toned, have more energy, and the clothes are fitting nicely. Ha! Easy drive from downtown, West U, Montrose, even the Heights. Some of the people who train here drive in from Spring and Sugarland. Great place to focus on bettering yourself without all the distractions. So glad we found this place!

A block off Washington things get a little shady. But I was pleasantly surprised to find a clean,…read morewell-equipped, sizable facility. I mean this gym has an obstacle course! Sean really knows his sh-t and I had an great experience there when I dropped into workout. His programming is smart and effective (you should see the changes in my brother after 3 months) and his workouts are scaleable and safe for any level of experience or ability. Everyone in class was familiar with all movements, but I only had to speak up to be offered a more detailed explanation/demo and/or modification if necessary. [Note, don't be intimidated by the posted workout: Most gyms (the good ones, IMO) design a workout so the most advanced person gets a killer workout, then everyone else can modify/scale; this is the most effective way to train a group (and safest). For example, you might see "10 clapping push ups" and figure you should just turn around and walk out. As if! But, instead you can do standard push ups, knee push ups, or push ups on a bench or even the wall.] The group workouts offer a built in support system and make it fun! Everyone I met was friendly and treated me no different than if I were a regular member. I am an experienced CrossFit trainer and athlete and highly recommend this gym to not just to any ole CrossFitter, but anyone looking to take your fitness to the next level (i.e., whether you are coming off the couch or the Pro circuit). Sean is an experienced (20+ years) strength and conditioning coach and Crossfit is just one method in his toolbox. One could say that F3 is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get ;-)

Excellent training program that constantly challenges you. Sean is very knowledgeable and friendly…read more Most of his clients have been coming here for years and that to me says a lot of this place. I would definitely recommend this place.

The instructor was friendly. The workout was very challenging but you can go at your own pace, so I didn't feel intimidated. The place is a bit far for me, but I'll try to return when I can. I wish they had other locations in Houston because I really love this format.

Literally one of the best workout classes I've ever done! I did Row +Ride: Threshold with Meredith…read moreand I would recommend it a million times over. Meredith was great, knowledgeable and so encouraging. She let us do modifications based on our needs and any restrictions we may have. This was a full body workout where you go at your own pace. I love rowing but they also added in cycling and floor work with weights! You had crunches, lunges and more in between your rowing and cycling sets. Truly incredible. Also the playlist was fire!! I'll definitely be back.

Fast forward to now, when I renewed my ClassPass for a month trial, RYDE was the very first class I booked because it was my favorite. I've tried other cycling establishments, but RYDE reigns superior. The studio is clean and modern. And the bathrooms are equipped with everything a girl will need, and they have Aesop soap! That's all that I need to say. I am a regular rock climber, but once I phase out of that, I can definitely see myself being a RYDE regular. The classes are high-energy, and the instructors are fantastic at keeping you motivated. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes with Gustavo and Leon. If you are on the fence about giving cycling here a chance, please do yourself a favor and try it out. It is like a party, but you're putting your energy into biking. I'm not sure when I will be back because I currently cannot justify paying almost $300 a month for a membership, but I look forward to my next visit to RYDE!

I've taken multiple teachers, and all have been great. Be warned, this is the type of cycling class where you'll be doing arm choreography, but that's what makes it so fun! It's a really clean space, and the room is dark, so you don't have to worry about all eyes being on you. I wouldn't say it's easy for beginners, but you can always adjust to your needs.

Main Street is an old school boxing gym in every sense of the phrase. I have been training at Main…read moreStreet for a few days. In that short amount of time, I can already tell that Main Street is the REAL DEAL. No fluff. No games. Just work. The two-story structure has 3 rings, 15+ heavy bags, and knowledgeable trainers. There is enough parking to accommodate the staff and students. This is not a gym where the instructors are going to hold your hand. But, as a beginner myself, we are welcome. If you listen to the instructions and try your best, you will learn the proper technique and become a better boxer, athlete, and person. I also appreciate how Main Street has its own App. Zen Planner is an iPhone and Android application that allows patrons to sign-up for a membership, pay gym fees, and keep track of the schedule. People have busy lives. Anything thing that makes working out easier is alright by me.

They actually teach real sparring with all the punches/slips/rolls. Their classing will definitely push you to your limits.

Normally I have no energy after work, but within a few minutes my mind is totally off of my energy and trying to complete the task at hand. Definitely recommend this place.

Best gym on the East Side!!…read more I started coming to Facet Seven Eado to get in the best Bride-To-Be/ Wedding shape I could, and it happened thanks to Mikel!! I highly recommend booking with him if you're in the market for a personal trainer! Not only will he help you reach your goals, but he's also very informative with why you're doing certain exercises (which is very helpful as someone who has no clue!) I do have to say, having a personal trainer really made my experience at Facet Seven Eado! I love that you can view all the trainer profiles online and book with them, making the whole process more approachable. The gym itself seems to have everything you would need - from machines to free weights to classes. Parking: They have some handicap parking and a few open spaces in front of the gym. That being said, I almost always had to park on the side street. Accessibility: In addition to the handicap parking - They do have a ramp for accessibility to the entrance as well, but otherwise get ready for a pre-workout warm up hiking up the stairs to the front entrance! They also have a large shower stall (at least in the women's locker room) for accessibility needs. Staff: The staff (especially the trainers) are beyond welcoming. For some reason the people at the front desk aren't so much. During my time here, I rarely got welcomed which does make it a bit awkward if you're not so comfortable in the gym. Also, they have a scanner to checkin on your app but that worked less than 50% of the time for me, leading to more awkward moments with the front desk. Space: The space is very open, allowing for a lot of different areas. During my time here, they did move some of the weights around, which made for a bit of a choke point/crowded area for the weight machines near the rowers. Personally this was a turn-off for me. Also, being a warehouse, it gets warm. There is AC but during the summer months it doesn't cool too effectively - which I guess helps you sweat and maybe is a good thing (but for me wasn't the best). Overall, I'd definitely return here if I needed a PT to help reach another goal. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a new gym in general !
