I felt welcomed as a guest and encouraged by the other athletes in the class. Coach was great, good technique and instruction along with great encouragement once the wod began. I would definitely suggest checking this spot out if you're in the area visiting or if you live here and are looking to take your fitness to the next level.

The weights focused classes always seemed to move too fast, other classes too cardio-based,etc. Well BFT has the perfect balance of all of the above but more importantly, it's done right! The trainers/coaches really pay attention to form and making sure you are getting the most out of your workout while staying safe. They also take the time to learn about you and your goals so they can "push" you in the right direction. BFT is more than just a gym, it's a community. You will see familiar faces in the gym and at BFT events you actually want to attend. All this to say, just do it!

Instantly when I started taking classes at Facet Seven I appreciated the community and friendliness at the front desk, members, and the instructors as well. I mainly take Stefani's barre, yoga, and ABC class but also have enjoyed HIIT and strengthcon with Emma. Stefani is a bright light and makes working out so fun but also challenging. Emma similarly looks to challenge but is also motivating and provided me modifications when needed with an injury, looking out for me when I didn't realize I could re-injure something without even knowing. The gym has a variety of equipment but is on the smaller side, so it's easier to see and get to know regulars in your class but also meet new people. Highly recommend!

If you are visiting, do not waste your time shopping around, there is no better box in Houston!

The coaches are very welcoming, knowledgeable about the movements, and create an atmosphere of camaraderie that makes everyone feel accepted no matter their level of fitness. I'd even feel good about bringing my own mother to this gym. Now how many CroffFit-ers can say that? Also, they are intentional about their training methodology. I am a very analytical athlete, coming from an endurance background of triathlons and running, and knowing where we are headed with our training and why we're going there is important to me. In my first conversation with Colin (even before signing up) he was able to explain to me what was coming down the training pipeline in the next several weeks and what the next phases of training were going to be. They actually put some thought into where their athletes are going rather than just randomly throwing together workouts for the sake of variety. Iron Oak takes the correct approach, knowing that in order to get good at something you need to do it with some amount of frequency. But there's plenty of variety in our workouts to keep the boredom away. A few other things: - The longer class (1 hour 15 minutes) means there's plenty of time to do the workout rather than rush through everything. - I feel very safe under the coach's supervision. - They have a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE facility! That means there's room to push sleds around, run, do farmer carries, etc., all without going outside. And they have a fridge should you need some mid WOD snackage. I'd highly recommend this CrossFit for anyone.

It just opened in…read moreDecember and specializes in CrossFit, which is a strength and training program that is all the rage these days. The website is clean, well-designed, up-to-date, and very informative. The Facebook page provides statuses on weekly free introduction and yoga classes. I attended a free intro CrossFit class on a rainy Saturday morning. Bowie was very cheerful and made sure to introduce himself to all the newcomers. His positive energy was infectious and made me enthusiastic to start the workout. The gym is a "box" type building with one room containing all the equipment and space for the workouts. You go through the CrossFit workout sets in the group, and it's very encouraging to go through it together. Because, trust me, with these intensive workouts, you're gonna need all the encouragement you can get! Fortunately, as I lay dying in a the middle of a set of pushups, Bowie remembered my name and (again, cheerfully!) pushed me to keep going. I like that even though the exercises are tough, Bowie never resorts to the "bootcamp style" of yelling putdowns or using negative reinforcement. He plays a varied set of music from his iPhone throughout the hourlong workout. I definitely laughed at the (somewhat joking) "LIGHT WEIGHT!" yells around the room. I didn't feel like anyone was judging me based on my fitness level or anything else. After the free introductory class, there is usually a complimentary (optional) yoga class with a Big Yoga instructor. It feels great to wind down with some stretching with phenomenal yoga teachers. The gym itself is clean and down-to-earth. Ample water and towels are available! I like that they cap their class sizes to promote safety and higher level of personal coaching attention. If I start working closer to Montrose again, I would definitely consider coming here regularly... and, Roots Juice is just 3 minutes away for an after-workout smoothie!

Popped into Rumble via ClassPass while visiting family in Houston recently. It's essentially…read moreBarry's meets Title Boxing -- a split-room setup with boxing bags on one side and benches/floor space for traditional strength and conditioning on the other. There's a similar concept in Dallas at a locally owned studio I prefer. It has no benches, and instead of a stage, the instructor teaches from a ring in the middle of the room. Everyone does the same block (either S&C or boxing) at the same time. That layout makes way more sense to me because: A) No matter where you are in the studio, you can see the instructor clearly. B) It prevents wasted time walking between rounds or stations. At Rumble, the setup made transitions a bit clunky, and I could tell the instructor was trying to sync the music with the workout -- like timing the beat drop with high-intensity intervals -- but because both sides of the room were doing different things, it felt off. As someone who with rhythm, that bugged me. Anyways, the front desk staff were incredibly kind, and knowledgeable. Heads up: you'll need wraps and gloves -- you can rent or buy them

Best gym on the East Side!!…read more I started coming to Facet Seven Eado to get in the best Bride-To-Be/ Wedding shape I could, and it happened thanks to Mikel!! I highly recommend booking with him if you're in the market for a personal trainer! Not only will he help you reach your goals, but he's also very informative with why you're doing certain exercises (which is very helpful as someone who has no clue!) I do have to say, having a personal trainer really made my experience at Facet Seven Eado! I love that you can view all the trainer profiles online and book with them, making the whole process more approachable. The gym itself seems to have everything you would need - from machines to free weights to classes. Parking: They have some handicap parking and a few open spaces in front of the gym. That being said, I almost always had to park on the side street. Accessibility: In addition to the handicap parking - They do have a ramp for accessibility to the entrance as well, but otherwise get ready for a pre-workout warm up hiking up the stairs to the front entrance! They also have a large shower stall (at least in the women's locker room) for accessibility needs. Staff: The staff (especially the trainers) are beyond welcoming. For some reason the people at the front desk aren't so much. During my time here, I rarely got welcomed which does make it a bit awkward if you're not so comfortable in the gym. Also, they have a scanner to checkin on your app but that worked less than 50% of the time for me, leading to more awkward moments with the front desk. Space: The space is very open, allowing for a lot of different areas. During my time here, they did move some of the weights around, which made for a bit of a choke point/crowded area for the weight machines near the rowers. Personally this was a turn-off for me. Also, being a warehouse, it gets warm. There is AC but during the summer months it doesn't cool too effectively - which I guess helps you sweat and maybe is a good thing (but for me wasn't the best). Overall, I'd definitely return here if I needed a PT to help reach another goal. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a new gym in general !
