The best "no fuss" gym that's everything you need and nothing you don't. This is for serious people here. Some great staff and trainers. John Sherman one of them! Fees and hours are about parallel for a typical gym. read more

The best real combat raining in this area. I visit everyone's gym. This gym is great for private physical instruction with certified trainers. But at the "higher level" the self defense training will save you from real danger . Find the coach read more

This is a trainer gym, as in trainers use this gym to train their clients for one on one training -- hence the name one to one training center. Individuals (without trainers) are of course welcomed to join as I was when I walked in on a calm Saturday afternoon. The fees are more than reasonable with no snake oil salesmanship type of contracts or other ways to force your hand. Simple month to month membership is probably best for most folks. You can cancel any time. Guest fee is 10 dollars I believe! Go check it out if you wanna try before you buy. When you sign up they will ask if you need a trainer. But they will NEVER ever pressure you like the other commercial gyms do. The gym is a nice size, lower level is free weights and machines, upper level is cardio. I usually go after 6-7pm weekdays and Saturday afternoons. The reason I picked this gym is I needed a little peace and quiet away from LA fitness and its unending rush hour crowds of amateurs who seem to show up to text at the gym and take endless selfies of their butts in the mirror while occupying multiple exercise stations. No one does anything like that at this gym. The few folk that work out after 6-7pm are friendly, professional folks who are clearly passionate about fitness and bodybuilding. We smile, we nod, we leave each other alone. Here, I keep my head down and work. And I love that. The Pros: 1- They have multiple versions of most standard equipment you will find any gym for resistance training. 2- They have equipment you will usually not find in most commercial gyms. and some equipment you won't know what the hell it is for -- ask someone they're friendly they will tell you. 3- The gym is clean, the equipment is clean, no sweat stains on benches an. No sweat period cause the AC is running incredibly well -- I joined during the hottest time in late August. Between the fans they have running in the ceiling and on the floor and there is always cool breeze. They provide wet wipes to wipe down equipment in multiple parts of the gym in giant dispensers. A nice Touch! 4- The clientele is focused, serious, courteous and kind. There is an air of professionalism. These people are here for business and it shows. Respect their space and their workouts and you will get along just fine! 5- Not crowded. Definitely not crowded after 7PM. Most nights it's me and 2 others working out in the entire gym. 6- Plenty of machines, plenty of weights, no one has to bother anyone, no one breathes down my neck. 7- None of the trainers have approached me. I kind of respect and appreciate that. I thought they would badger me into training with them etc. Nada. Nope. They are watching me briefly time to time from a distance -- probably my bad form or choice of exercises as we all do at the gym with others. It's good to know that if I need them I have a pool of knowledgeable pros to choose from. Now the negatives -- only mild ones, and I am writing them cause my followers know I am a picky prick who will always have something negative to say: 1- This is not equinox, it's a basement type gym (except it is above ground with plenty of natural light). (I love it, you may not!) 2- The weights are old school iron plates with no easy grip holes, nor any plastic covering. You are training with iron here! 3- Some of the machines are so close to each other sometimes it feels like I am playing twister -- especially while loading unloading leg machines. (only a mild annoyance -- I got over it) 4- This is not a spa, don't expect to find towel service, soap in the showers etc, they have showers and a very clean restroom, bring your own supplies if you must shower. 5- I wish they were open later on the weekends. Saturday they close at 7pm, Sundays they close at 5 (this is the one that hurts the most) 6- The neighborhood is "up and coming" and currently "a bit sketchy" at night. I have never seen anything unsafe but one definitely feels they're in an "urban" setting in this part of town. Bonus, the Thai restaurant next door is truly happening and very good Thai food! #bulknosulk read more

If you need a trainer who gives results on exactly the look you want (young or old) I recommend Marcus McDade with MPower. Need better eating habits? He can do that too. All around an amazing trainer. Thanks for getting me exactly where I want. read more

I moved to Houston in July 2015 and one of the first things I did was find the neighborhood gym which became like a second home. Strangers became friends. Joe (manager) is friendly and welcoming and the trainers have worked together for a number of years so it's quite the brotherhood on the floor. Focused but relaxed atmosphere with people who are serious about their fitness. I worked with Kenneth Williams who kept me on track and helped me achieve a 17% body fat percentage within a few months of starting my workout regime. Highly recommended workout spot with great ppl! read more

If you're a pretentious gym snob that requires hardwood floors and towel service this is not the gym for you. However, if you're in the fitness industry or just serious about your health and want equipment that is actually functional for muscle building this is your place. I came here because I'm on a fitness program that requires I use a Cybex Arc and stair stepper (not stair mill). Finding these 2 machines in one gym is rare mainly because most gyms have stair mills not steppers. But true fitness enthusiast know there is no better way to target the glute ham tie-in then with the old school stepper! Ok, sorry of topic. When I went in to sign up I was intimidated. This place is hub for men and women in the fitness industry. Guys with massive muscles and ladies with tiny waist abound. But these folks are so nice and helpful. The gym is also large and I very rarely have to wait for any machine. I can always find a bench near the dumbbells without waiting. This usually a coveted seat guarded with ones life at chain gyms. My only complaint is they only have one upright bike with a computerized console. All the others are either sit down or the manual spinning style bikes. However, anything else you can think up is there and even machines you can't figure out what they heck they're for are there too. At least once a month I come across a machine that looks like a contraption out of Mr. Greys red room. Give them a try. You'll be happy you did. read more

I love this place but I think the best thing about it is Lisa from second floor, she gives very good deep tissue massage at a very affordable price, I feel young again! thank you, will be back soon. told all my friends about her read more

The gym had a serious masking and gloves policy when it reopened after the Covid lockdown. Now, weeks later, with the pandemic still raging, they no longer enforce it. So many people working out here do not have their masks over moth and nose. So many more do not use gloves. At the moment, not the safest gym read more

If you are serious about working out this is your gym. They have all the weights and machines you need to workout. The staff of trainers is simply the best in Houston. You will see some athletes and Houston celebrities from time to time in this gym. This gym is that serious. Not only that but the prices are very reasonable. I have to give a shout out to my trainer Kenneth Williams. He really is the best trainer in the gym. He rarely has spots available but, if you check from time to time you might get in with him. I really can not say enough nice things about this gym. If you do join you health will improve dramatically!!!! The trainers all have good meal plans that are not impossible to follow. You really will love this gym!!!! This place is where you start the new you. read more

If you are looking to meet your weight loss goals then here's the place. Not only are there a wide range of trainers some of which are pro athletes themselves, but there are also nutritionist and massage therapists on hand. The gym at first glance is a bit gritty looking. When I first visited I was a bit intimidated as many of the members and trainers were relatively lean or in shape. But after I got over that I was inspired by them. Now I compete in fitness competitions. I eat sleep train and get trained here!!! read more

Old school style gym. Great place to get a real workout in. You won't see people hanging out and on their phones all the time like other gyms. People goes there to get work done and trainers there are great! read more

Best gym ever. I've been training here for 3 months with Roy Lightner. He is an amazing trainer. He's training me for my 6th NPC show. I think with his help I will place. *Crossing my fingers* read more

After writing a check for a 1 month service, this place illegally withdrew money from my account. My bank saw assisted me with their illegal practices. I will fight them in small claims court as well as report them to the Better Business Bureau and Attorney General. read more

I called to inquire if there were specials in the pricing or a payment plan to pay the $80 down fee. The rep who took my call was very unprofessional. When I mentioned I was looking for an option to pay the down because I want to get working out but didn't have the $80 in one lump sum his response was "oh wow" that's it and then he went quiet as if not knowing what to say. The "oh wow" sounded like "you live in Sugar Land and cant afford $80 bucks." This place is close to my home but I'd rather go with the "chain" gym who have answers and solutions for their members. If you're looking for a backyard Customer Service and facility you've found it. read more
