I once came in one day with a sore shoulder from overuse and the light shoulder exercises Brice had me do helped my recovery significantly. I was 90% recovered by the next day! Ihas helped me learn proper form and actively made sure I maintained good form throughout my exercises. It's only been a month of training with Brice, and I already feel better about my body and even my posture. Did I mention how nice the gym is? Brice recently moved to a new gym and it is spacious with brand new equipment. All his clients are friendly people too! Give Brice a try for meeting your workout goals, I'm confident he won't disappoint.

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.

Every single morning, it's the same debate when I pull out of the driveway. Both this Augusta…read morebranch and the Clay Road location sit right around 12 to 13 minutes from my house, and deciding which way to turn is an honest struggle. But usually it comes down to: "Oh hell, let's turn right today." Why? One phrase: the steam room. That steam room seals the deal for me almost every time. The overall vibe here is great. The facility is consistently clean, and the staff is awesome across the board--especially the lifeguards, who are always super cool and attentive. The only real critique is that they could definitely stand to upgrade the basketballs to match the nicer ones they've got over at Clay Road. But between the cleanliness, the great crew running the place, and that steam room waiting at the end of a workout, this spot easily earns a solid 4 stars all day long.

This is a great neighborhood YMCA with a good variety of amenities and classes. One of the biggest…read morehighlights is the outdoor pool, which is heated during the winter and stays open year-round unless temperatures drop below freezing. The pool also has a 9-foot deep end and a few lap lanes. One downside is there's very little shade around the pool area. Inside, there are free weights and cardio areas, basketball courts, TRX setup, and several group fitness rooms offering classes like yoga, pilates, Zumba, pickleball, and other fitness programs. The instructors and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming. The men's and women's locker rooms also include a steam sauna and hot tub, which are nice amenities. However, the steam saunas are frequently closed or broken for maintenance, so I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm what's currently working before visiting. Another downside is that the lockers require you to bring your own lock--they do not have built-in combination locks like many newer gyms. They offer memberships for different age groups, and another huge plus is the free covered parking garage. However, during weekday evenings (around 6 p.m.), the garage can get pretty full due to after-work crowds and youth programs. I've been a YMCA member for several years and would definitely recommend this location.

Not realizing how large the city of Houston is, this was quite a drive for me to get to from where…read moreI was staying, and I speak for someone who is not familiar with the city-much less Texas-at all. Since I mapped it out beforehand, I knew where to park and how to get to the gym. This was a fairly large shopping area, but EQX was right there, and the desk is there in front once you enter. There was a really nice girl this day with long braids, and she directed me upstairs to the locker room and informed me that parking validation was not necessary at this time; the gate just went up as you pulled up to it. Perfect! After going upstairs, I did wander around and then a trainer directed me over to the locker room, which was spacious and very clean. The fitness floor is on the second, and as soon as I found the treadmills, I knew where I belonged. Light movement in the stretching area after, and then back to a shower with decent water pressure. What I was fascinated with was how friendly staff was. Trainers actually smiled and said goodbye which you won't normally see in California or New York. I certainly wasn't at home! Compared to other locations, this one was very low-key, although I admit I came during the afternoon where it was probably quieter. I had forgotten this is the location that I was in contact with back in 2020 when I had ordered some masks from their shop since they were actually open. I had such a good experience that the trip here to see them in person was worth it!

Came to Equinox for the first time for a Spa treatment. I…read morelove that when you book a spa treatment, they let you come in and use the gym/sauna beforehand. The gym equipment is a bit outdated though. I do like the fact that they offer cold towels post-workout to cool off. For the Spa treatment, I got the Hydrafacial 50 Min - Deluxe. For a first timer, you can also receive a 25% discount as well. Kristen was my esthetician and she was truly the best! You could tell that she was very experienced. She was very knowledgeable about all of the products and the facial itself was very relaxing. Really enjoyed the lymphatic drainage the most, she had my face looking snatched and jawline on point and skin truly glowing. 100% recommend booking her for a facial!

Just recently visited the Lifetime location located inside the Houston Galleria Mall and to start I…read morewill say the location is not the easiest to find. To find it the quickest way is to input 5100 W Alabama St in your GPS where it will take you to the Orange Garage of the Galleria. From there you'll eventually start to see barely visible signage directing you where to park (Level 3). The official name of this location is Lifetime Galleria Tennis and it's considered a Diamond Level location. I called ahead of time to see if they had other gym amenities besides the tennis courts and they said they do have a workout area with weights and cardio machines but it's not at the same capacity as a traditional Lifetime gym. I decided to check it out anyway and the facility is about 90% tennis courts and 10% workout floor. The workout floor is extremely limited. There's only a few machines for lifting, I think I counted 4 treadmills and 4 stair masters. I was surprised at how small the place was. But the tennis courts are massive. I think this used to be owned by a different gym and rebranded into a Lifetime Fitness because I know for a fact this location hasn't been here for that long. I'm a bit disappointed on the upkeep of the facility. It doesn't feel like a Lifetime Fitness, it feels like an old dungeon. The renovations that were made to turn this place into a Lifetime Fitness seem very sloppy. There is no pool. No studios for workout classes. But there is a LifeCafe. If you just want to play tennis it's a decent place. But my first impressions weren't great. For $279 a month, I don't think this is worth labeling as a Diamond Level location. The staff is very friendly though, I'll give them that.

I had a very disturbing experience at Life Time Fitness. While I was working out, someone opened my…read morelocker, stole my bag, and left all my other belongings inside. This happened within a few hours, during my time at the gym. I reported it to Maribel, who is in charge of the women's locker keys. Her response was deeply disappointing -- she told me I could call the police, but that they probably wouldn't do anything. That kind of comment from someone with access to the locker system made me feel completely unsupported. The manager on duty offered to check the security cameras the following day, but there was no immediate action, no urgency, and no sense of real accountability. For a gym that advertises itself as a premium facility, this was a completely unacceptable experience. I left feeling vulnerable, frustrated, and unprotected. I do not recommend Life Time Fitness if you value your safety, your belongings, or expect to be taken seriously when something like this happens. What happened to me could easily happen to you.

Looking for a decent, well-managed gym in Houston? Do…read moreyourself a favor and look elsewhere. The size of the gym is similar to that found in an apartment complex. Members are allowed to bring children in strollers and toddlers on the floor, moving with the member from machine to machine. At times, the noise level is a distraction at best, with certain members and trainers being abnormally loud, showing little to no concern for general courtesy. Some members do not use lockers, leaving their clothes and gym bags scattered in the dressing area. Seriously, there are better gyms in the area.
