    Tried RYDE while visiting Houston and absolutely loved it! I had issues trying to book online, but upon arriving for my Saturday noon class was greeted and helped quickly. The doors didn't open until noon, which is nice because it allows everyone riding a chance to get there and get familiar with everything. I participated in Jessica's class, very nice and super energetic! I thought she had a great vibe throughout the entire class and made everyone feel welcomed. States bones are used and have both SPD and Delta clips on the pedals. Complimentary towels are placed on the bike and you're also given a cold towel past class. Great experience, looking forward to my next visit!

    Simply the best! From the first time that I stepped foot into RYDE I knew that I was going to love it! Everyone from the front desk staff to the instructors are all so welcoming and they all make sure to greet everyone and make everyone feel comfortable. The facility is so clean and sleek and the bikes are top notch! I've been to several studios in Houston and around the country and nothing compares to RYDE! Now on to the classes. The classes are a great and fun workout, they are also an excellent way for me to relax and let go of everything that has been stressing me. It's one of my forms of therapy! Each bike keeps track of your metrics and you get a email after class so that you can keep track of your progress. After class is over they bring ice cold eucalyptus towels to your bike while stretching! (so clutch)I love the different variations of music played during class by each instructor and the different theme RYDES. It makes class fun and go by so fast that doesn't even feel like a workout, more like a party on a bike! I saw someone mention that they were offended by the music being played, but it's the same thing being played on the radio, in the gym and at all other spin studios I've visited, even Soul cycle. As a person of color, I can honestly say that I have never been offended by the music played. I know the instructors intentions are not to offend anyone. It's not like the instructors are rapping the lyrics. I don't come to RYDE to workout to baby shark, I want to get pumped and a little ratchet sometimes. (nothing wrong with that) LOL Even if you don't like or feel comfortable with the rap music/lyrics, they have many instructors to choose from that don't play rap. I love that about RYDE too! They have so many class times and instructors to choose from if something isn't working for you. I also love how they partner with local businesses and have events at different venues around town and also at the studio after classes. Some days they will have coffee for early classes, snacks/lunch for mid day classes, samples from different healthy meal prep companies for evenings and of course bubbles/mimosas for Saturdays or special occasion classes! I have met so many people here that have turned into lifelong friends! The owners are so nice and always so accommodating. If there are any issues they are always prompt in addressing it and working with customers to make sure they feel taken care of and appreciated! To be honest, their customer service is one of the make reasons I love RYDE. I've brought so many of my friends to RYDE and they all love it too! RYDE has truly spoiled me, whenever I go to other studios I can't help but compare. Once you experience RYDE, you won't want to go anywhere else!

    I've been coming to Ryde quite regularly now and I absolutely love it! I've only been to a few other cycling classes at different gyms and Ryde has been the only one that has been able to keep me interested and actually make me break a sweat. I've taken classes with instructors Ashley, Brad, and Lauren. My favorite session has been with Ashley, her energy is out the roof and her teaching style is fantastic. It definitely helped keep me in the zone and focused. The facility itself is very cool! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the receptionist at a very long bar-like desk. In the corner they have some 'Ryde' flare for sale like T-Shirts and Water Bottles. If you've been to Ryde before, no need to bring your wallet to buy anything. They already have your credit card on file tied to your membership. Heading towards the back area of the building you will find the lockers and two separate bathrooms for men and women. The bathrooms also include one shower if you prefer to clean up there. The actual studio where all the fun takes place is pretty badass. It's a dark setting. There are several fans on the ceiling to keep you cooled down during spinning. When the class actually starts although it's dark, the crazy fun light show that goes on brightens it up quite a bit. The music choice is great, more of an EDM playlist which I enjoy a ton. At the end of your 45-minute spin, the staff brings in cold mint-freshed scented towels to wipe yourself down with. I've been very pleased with my visits here, and recommend you check it out!

This…read moreplace is a complete disaster, hiding behind a nice location and slick marketing while delivering some of the worst customer service and member experience you'll find in the city. The communication is abysmal, particularly from Sarah and Alicia, who are repeatedly unresponsive and unhelpful. Emails go ignored, questions are dodged, and if you do finally get a reply, it's vague and often inaccurate. They don't follow up, they don't follow through, and unless you ask five or six times, you will not get any clear answers or confirmations. You are constantly left chasing them down just to get the most basic information. To make matters worse, they will charge you whatever they want, whenever they want, without warning, explanation, or approval. You won't be notified of fees or changes unless you hunt them down to ask. If you're offered a credit, promo, or adjustment, take a screenshot and save every email, because they certainly won't help you figure anything out after the fact. Once you've signed up, you're on your own. Bijan is somewhat more communicative, but not enough to make up for the chaos. There's clearly no leadership or accountability here -- it feels like a group project where no one knows what their role is, and no one really cares. Facility-wise, it's barely above average. Courts are often overbooked, the gym space is mediocre, and amenities are inconsistently maintained. You're paying premium rates for a second-rate experience across the board. Bottom line: The Downtown Met is a textbook case of mismanagement and indifference. For a place that calls itself a "premier fitness and tennis club," it operates more like a poorly run pop-up gym with no structure or respect for its members. Look elsewhere, literally anywhere else would be a better use of your time and money.

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!

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!

This year we signed our kid up to play here for the convenience and we loved it! The fields were really nice. Sometimes the kids played on the softball fields which were real dirt and grass. Fields had bleachers and lights. The last game the kids played on the turf baseball field. These fields seemed really nice. (Though, I personally have never played on turf, let alone slid on a turf field). There are restroom facilities here, though, I never used them. It is kind of a hike to get to from the softball fields... closer for the baseball fields. There is also a playground and pavilion. On the far side of the complex off of Kingsley, there is an BRAND NEW all-inclusive playground. It's pretty amazing. There is a restroom and drinking fountain at this amenity too. My husband said he believes the enclosed baseball field next to the playground might be for deaf kids??? I can't confirm. There are also soccer fields here. My kids aren't into soccer yet so I can't say much about them. They do appear to be turf fields as well. Nonetheless, this complex is pretty awesome and I'm proud it's in our community.

THREE! What are the cleaners doing? Apparently nothing. Even after I pointed it out. -roughly spoken to by a guy who takes care of the area (I assumed) by the indoor lap pool. I was pregnant and hurting and needed my nightly stretch in the pool which is the main reason I paid to go there and I can't use the hot tub while pregnant. Arrived at the same time as usual. There was another person swimming but the man present didn't like women or I don't know but he told me "it's closed" and didn't give me an explanation. I question and shared how I REALLY need to stretch I'm in pain and it's supposed to be open another 40 minutes on schedule and there is clearly another person swimming in front of us, so how can it be closed? He just yelled at me and still didn't tell me why. I have no idea who or why he was there. Cane other days when pool was support he open and they had signs saying closed" when it was supposed to be open. They don't really have a good amount of machines other than tons of treadmills compared to LA fitness. And as others mentioned they stay broken a long time. But I need to work my back and don't use free weights. The hot sauna was broken for MONTHS! And was so unclean inside. I couldn't believe I had been sitting in there. But I'm sure it was due to the lady exfoliating herself and no one cleaning it! It makes me want to vomit thinking of it. I wanted a water yoga class but they didn't have evening classes for me. Only during the day when I couldn't go. For a large expensive place it makes no sense they could not hire for evening classes. Kids area-while I don't trust anyone to watch my kids personally, my best friend had a terrible experience there. Other kids would bully her kids and staff didn't seem to care. She could only take her kids a set limited time during the day so too bad if you can't make that block of time despite the fact you pay twice as much to bring kids you can literally only go when they say you can because pools and splash pads for kids aren't open or are closed constantly. The last straw was her son was arguing with his sibling as siblings do, but it was handled terribly. Instead of going to get her if there was indeed a problem , the staff dragged him down the hallway and when he thought he was out of sight, she saw him throw him on the ground. She happened to have come down for pick up at the time and was following them wondering why he had her son down a secluded hallway alone, He didn't apologize or anything. Terrible way of handling a child.
