    I don't have much to say besides my daughter has been going here for almost a year now and she…read moreloves it and has came so far . They staff are top notch work great with young kids and are very affordable the waiting room smells like feet which tells me they train hard but don't trust me look up their accomplishments and where their students end up

    After 3 years of commitment to Pearland Elite, I was extremely disappointed and honestly…read moreheartbroken by the way my daughter Taylor's enrollment ended. Rather than having a direct conversation with me as her parent, Taylor was unenrolled following information surrounding a tryout at another gym. From my perspective, the decision appeared to be based on hearsay and assumptions rather than anyone simply picking up the phone and speaking with me first. After three years of our family investing time, money, trust, and Taylor pouring countless hours into this program, we deserved that basic professional courtesy. What makes this even harder is that Taylor genuinely loved Pearland Elite and absolutely adored her coach ( Kelly) . This was her gymnastics home for three years. These coaches and teammates were a major part of her childhood as she was home schooled there, so the way everything ended is something that will likely remain a core memory for her and unfortunately, not for the right reasons. In my opinion, the decision made by Tasha and Nick to unenroll my daughter felt emotional and reactive, rather than thoughtful and centered around an athlete who had been loyal to their program for years. A conversation could have changed the entire way this situation was handled. Exploring another gym was never about disrespecting her coaches or forgetting everything Pearland Elite had done for Taylor. It was about being parents and doing our due diligence for a child who has serious goals in this sport. Parents should be able to explore opportunities, ask questions, attend a tryout, and determine the best path for their child without fearing their child will immediately be removed from a program based on secondhand information. I also had heard of interactions with Nick that made me uncomfortable, including comments that I personally perceived as racially inappropriate and insensitive. Combined with how this situation was handled, it changed the way I viewed the leadership of the gym. Taylor worked hard, competed, represented Pearland Elite proudly, loved her coaches, and gave that program three years of her childhood. Regardless of where an athlete ultimately chooses to train, that level of dedication deserves respect, compassion, professionalism, and at minimum a conversation with her parent. We have moved forward and I am grateful Taylor is continuing her journey in an environment that aligns with the direction she wants to go. But I will always wish her chapter at Pearland Elite had been allowed to close with the same love and respect that she gave them for three years. It wasn't simply that our relationship with the gym ended. It was the way they chose to end it that I will never agree with.

Called Sammie to schedule my appointment and she was able to get me in right away. You have to buzz to get in and once you step inside the tranquil and relaxing ambience helps to relax you. I got setup and relaxed inside my pod. If you focus on your breathing you have a better chance of remaining in the pod the whole 30 minutes. Felt like I sweated out a lake and was a little drained (pun intended) afterwards. Relaxed for a little bit and drank some more water before hearing more about the color of my toxins and the benefits of the pods - experiencing it I already understood the benefits of it. It was shortly afterwards when it hit me and I just felt really really good - I highly recommend going and giving it a try - plan it if you are so that you get the most benefit from it. And remember to focus on the breathing. Definitely going back for more!

    ZERO Training Center is a pretty unique gym. I've been working out consistently for 20+ years and I…read morehad some novel experiences here. I worked out at this intimate and private gym in Pearland on a Monday at 6:30 p.m. Since it's a small gym, you get in differently than you would expect. After downloading an app, your phone acts as the conduit to unlock the door to the gym. From there, the world is your oyster. When I first arrived, I was alone. Ten minutes in, one of the trainers, Brandon, arrived for a session he had with one of his clients. If you're used to massive gyms like 24 Hour Fitness like I am, this is a much different experience. A lot less equipment, and you don't have amenities like a sauna, basketball court, swimming pool, etc. What you get in return is a couple of things. Privacy. You're not fighting over equipment and surrounded by people. It's also super clean. The equipment are well maintained, just like the gym as a whole. There is complimentary water. Energetic music playing. And here's the best part... they have some pretty advanced equipment. We're talking touch screen weight training machines with lots of different exercises available. I've never seen anything like it! It's one of those things you have to try out for yourself to fully comprehend. It was awesome.

    Fantastic place! Brandon, my trainer, is knowledgeable, patient and funny! The vibes are chill…read moreand it's personalized! Definitely check it out!

    It got its name because I saw a cop run into the showers. I didn't want to shower with a cop so I…read morecalled out "Is there a Coppinthere?" in my strongest, deepest, most bellowing fake German fake Austrian fake Arnie accent. Of course he was nowhere to be seen, but one of the managers heard me, and liked it so much that she changed the name to "Coppinger Family YMCA." Not one of my favourite YMCA locations by any stretch of the imagination. They were friendly enough at the desk although some of the employees were less friendly. It seems like a bit of a free-for-all with kids running all over the place. The workout space is pretty cramped and it does get pretty busy. A lot of Houston area YMCAs are very busy but this one feels like it doesn't have the space to handle it. They don't have nearly as much equipment for lifting as the downtown location either, but I would be okay with that if it wasn't so claustrophobic and busy, at any time of day I've been here. Employees are friendly, so I'll bump it up to a 4 star.

    I love my Y. I primarily use it for exercise classes and the treadmill. instructors are wonderful…read more I feel like they truly care and you're not there just to join their work out. Everyone at the front desk is always very friendly. It's not the most modern and clean gym but I always get a workout so I am ok with that. Membership is a little bit more costly than some others but I like that my money is also going to help children and families in the community. They also offer great swim lessons including private year.
