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 absolutely love Memorial Athletic Club! The atmosphere is so welcoming and everyone is super…read morefriendly. 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 have reached my 250 classes in 1 year and 7 months and I have seem changes in my body. Every hour I have passed at CPMemorial has been a gift to myself. It has been a great experience! The ambience in great as well as the staff! Deeply recommended! Nelly Leonard

I had to cancel my membership due to personal reasons but I wont hesitate to come back once I can!!! Will miss each one of these teachers!

Barre is a low impact workout, but don't underestimate it. It definitely pushes every muscles in your body to limits you didn't even know existed. You'll hear "embrace the shakes" often and that is when I know my body is changing. The Houston Memorial location is a warm and inviting space that welcomes you with open arms. It has all the amenities you would find at a top gym with secured lockers and clean showers ready to be used. The owner, Kendall, and studio instructors are all amazing, kindhearted, and always rooting for your success. It is a studio and workout worthy of checking out.

Dominic and the other teacher (can not remember her name) are amazing! The classes are tailored for your needs. I have a few injuries and he makes me feel comfortable, makes sure I have a replacement exercize so I do not reinjure or further injure my injuries. The classes are perfect because he tailors them to your strength and skill level! The studio is clean and prices are fair!

Dominic's studio is a very basic pilates studio. It's not fancy nor modern but it has all the…read morewonderful pilates equipment such as the reformers, cadillac, chair, and the barrel. The center isn't very busy so there is always plenty of parking. It does get a little crowded when there's a spin class going on at Revolution a few doors down. The first 3 classes are free which is wonderful because that is just the right amount of time for you to get a feel of the studio. Even though there are specific class times on the schedule, you aren't actually all working out at the same time. At first I wasn't sure if it's something I like since most of the time you start and end at the same times as others as a group. But after a few classes, I actually prefer it this way. A run through of how the session at DU Pilates work. 1. Come in and Dominic will likely direct you to a reformer of his choice. 2. He will talk with you over any concerns that you have for the day. My knee was actually bothering me last time so he scaled the workout to not put pressure on my knee. 3. He'll instruct you through the moves. If you are brand new to Pilates, he will spend more time with you. If you are more seasoned, he work with someone else while keeping an eye on your form. He will correct from across the room. 4. Once you are done, you are done since it's not timed with a class setting. There are sometimes 3-4 other people in the studio when I am there and everyone is working out at different pace and different levels. I actually like it because you go at your own pace and ability. A more advanced person wouldn't have to do the same as a less advanced and vice versa. My first two sessions, I was doing a lighter workout and by my 3rd he added more moves. I have done Pilates in the past so I feel like he is advancing me quicker. As first I was concern with the multiple different people but Dominic is very good at multitasking and helping each client. Now that I am done with my first 3 I plan to purchase a package. I can already feel the benefits of Pilates again.

I was invited to come as a guest, so I can't speak as a paying member. The club was incredible: I…read morespent most of my time watching the giraffes. 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.

I've always played with the idea of having a personal trainer because of the knowledge and encouragement they possess. I started having Ivan train me about a month ago and in just 3 weeks, I've already felt the difference in my body, strength, and endurance! Not only does he teach me about form, but he's a great hype man! The rest of the trainers are great also - friendly, positive, and fun to be around - allows the space to be a fun atmosphere to be around. I'm currently working on a 3 month transformation that he's helping me with and included will be meal plans along with 2x week training. I heard about their foam rolling/stretching session that I will start to incorporate! Highly recommend and worth the investment!

Zero Empathy for their members when appointments are missed due to real emergency situations…read moreI missed my very first appointment on Nov. 24 because my home was impacted by the Spring tornado. When I called the next day to explain, I was told there was "nothing they could do." No empathy, no flexibility--nothing. It shows how little they value their members.
