I've never been much of a gym person but after loosing my love for running (I was that actual…read moreperson who ran one marathon and went "yeah this is really terrible") I knew I needed to find a new form of exercise for both my physical health as well as my mental health. Living in the energy corridor I had a lot of different options but I did not want a cookie cutter gym, I wanted somewhere that I could belong, somewhere that I felt the staff would get to know me and not judge me if- and when- I did something wrong. Plus I wanted classes- I LOVE group exercise classes cause I have no idea what to do on my own. So I took my then boyfriend and we went to MAC. We really found it to be a welcoming place. It is not the cheapest around but one thing I have learned is that I would always rather have quality in the things that affect my overall well being. I have made friends at this gym, I have been through Harvey and road construction with this gym and I always felt valued as a member. I've been kept in the loop- they do a fantastic job of hosting different types of events and keeping their social media up to date. And now through what is proving to be one of the most interesting events to happen they continue to show their dedication to members by offering youtube classes and free virtual classes. Every day they are posting and making sure there is something to do and a way to get a workout in even at home. This is far more than a gym but truly also a community and a family.

I go almost every day for Training for Warriors with Jeff, he's an exceptional coach who really motivates you (and Lex). Yoga with Guillermina is always calming and inspiring, and Zumba with Julia, Edie, Kevin is full of fun and energy. Felipe is super supportive, and honestly all the coaches are amazing. It's truly my favorite place to work out, push myself, and feel great

I believe having them walk around engaging could help others to respect the place.

Don't waste your time or money on this club. This club along with many of the other locations is…read moregoing down faster than a Twinkie at a Jenny Craig meeting. I was a member here for less than 6 months. In that time frame, there were TWO incidents of gun violence as a result of fights on the basketball court. What did management do? Shut the court down for ONE week before being told by higher ups they had to re-open it! Can you say "Potential Lawsuit"? The equipment is old with rust on ALL of the cables as well as the plates. They only have TWO leg extensions and TWO leg curl machines and they're ALWAYS taken no matter what time you go. The free weight area LITERALLY smells like a urinal that hasn't been flushed in days. The studio floor is constantly filthy with sweat and hair and they can't seem to make up their mind about turning the AC on or off in the room. Groups of high school kids literally stand around talking and blocking walking areas or sit on equipment while talking/texting on their phones or they think it's fun to horseplay next to people who are lifting. This used to be a nice facility. However it's become clear that the corporate office doesn't give a shit about taking care of it, which should explain to the why they're losing members to other clubs like Crunch and EOS. Unless you don't care about actually working out, or you want to become a potential victim of gun violence due to some low IQ individuals that frequent the basketball court, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place.

They also had monkeys, a petting zoo, flamingos, exotic birds, penguins.... I might have missed some there were just so many. The kids arcade was cool because it's essentially free play. There was also a bowling alley and it looked like a water slide but it was closed that day. Tennis courts everywhere and pickleball courts too. I didn't see the gym. The food they offered wasn't the greatest for how much they charge but I didn't pay for anything so maybe it was just the food that they provided that was mediocre. We did ask the staff to cook the pizza some more as it was kind of undercooked and doughy and the staff was extremely nice and didn't have a problem helping us out. I spoke to one of the members while I was relaxing in the patio area and he was telling me about all of the events for members that are free with the membership. Really cool place.

In other words, whether you're a beginner or you're super fit, I think it's a fantastic place to come to. I've been a competitive swimmer for about 12 years and just began triathlon. Definitely not a land person, but I'm all about challenging myself and trying something new. I used to hear from a lot of people that CrossFit wasn't good for you because people don't really care about form, so it leads to injury. It's definitely not the case here, you have coaches here who watch over you and make sure you're doing exercises properly before adding weights or furthering your progression. I've learned a lot! I was worried about coming in and being completely lost, but I had been in contact with Jason beforehand and I wasn't lost one bit in the two free sessions I came in. Right away, he was there to guide me. Jason was very patient and super encouraging! I absolutely love the atmosphere in here. There is a team sense, you just have to be willing to speak up and talk to people here. They're all super kind and supportive. I'm just sad cause I have to leave for college now, but I will FOR SURE be back here on my extended breaks!

During my 2 months, the bicep curl machine is out of order for a month now and again no one has come to fix it. There's also a leg machine that's recently broken and I guess it will stay that way for a while. The people that work out in the morning seem to wipe the machines before/after they work out which I like the higiene, the staff do clean the machine but again whoever is responsible on fixing the machines needs a new job... it should not take over a month to fix the equipment
