This Katy Cinco Ranch location is very family oriented and has plenty of space & equipment. I have yet to have any issues with waiting to use equipment even when it is busier. You will find a surplus of treadmills, free weights, squat racks, benches, and more for all your exercise needs. There is also a child care area available for the younger ones. In addition, they also have a gymnasium with multiple side rims, as well as both an indoor and outdoor pool. Other areas available include a stretch room, cycling room, group exercise room, and another smaller weight room. They have plenty of locker/storage space as well, located is some weight rooms, outside the restroom/pool area, and inside the restrooms as well (the ones in the restroom require your own lock). One of the things I love most is they have a water fountain with a filtered water bottle filler so I can bring my empty water bottle from home and fill it with water at the Y for my workout. Another thing I appreciate are the several sanitizing stations for your hands and for wiping down equipment. Overall I'm extremely happy with this Y. The staff are very friendly, they have plenty of parking and allow 3 free guest passes per year (my previous Y made you pay for all guest passes). The only slight negative I've found so far is that they don't provide basketballs for the gymnasium due to people not returning them, which is understandable. Thus, I highly recommend this YMCA!

I would not recommend this place at all.

I had the opportunity to work with them from…read moreSeptember through the completion of my pool build, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From our very first meeting, Blake was honest and straightforward about what could and could not be done -- something I greatly appreciated. Throughout the process, I learned that pool construction has its slower periods and moments when things move very quickly. During the slow times, when I found myself getting impatient, and during the fast-paced phases that felt overwhelming, Blake always took the time to call me personally. He explained each step clearly until I fully understood what was happening, which reassured me that everything was going according to plan. Thanks to his communication, transparency, and commitment to keeping the project on schedule, my pool was completed exactly as promised. I highly recommend Pools123 to anyone considering a pool build -- their professionalism, honesty, and dedication truly set them apart.

I also like to take showers here lol I've never been to a gym and was excited to take a shower after working out in pool because most of the times gyms don't keep up their bathrooms . But not this gym.! They're about $10 a day which I pay because I don't have a membership and just can't afford one right now but I do come once a month. I do have a jump at my complex so I kind of just come here for the serenity of it.

Overall rated 2 stars. We held our annual women's club luncheon here yesterday. For the amount of…read moremoney we paid to hold our event in the private room, you'd think we would not needed to 1) ask several times to lower the music, 2) as to fill up and refill the coffee carafe, 3) asked for ice for water, 4) asked for salad plates to be placed near the salad 5) asked twice to setup microphone and speakers 6) asked several times to refill hot dishes on the buffet table. We ran out of food twice while women were standing in line waiting. At one point it took them 10 minutes to refill and those standing, chose not to wait any longer. You'd think staff would be monitoring a buffet intended to serve 40 women. Rather, we had absolutely no one monitoring to ensure things were all set with food and drinks. Myself and another were constantly going into the kitchen asking for someone to help us. 7) We had no one available to remove dirty plates when we finished; some our women to include me got up to help remove everyone dirty dishes. It truly was so very frustrating and disappointing. I guess after receiving our final deposit that morning as paid in full, there was little to no incentive to make sure our luncheon was attended to. Beware... you absolutely do not get what you pay for!!! PS: the food was yummy but all that DID NOT happen that SHOULD OF HAPPENED truly did spoil the who luncheon. The 2 star rating is a 100% could of been better with having SOMEONE in charge taking care to make sure our needs were being met.

Golf Review: Falcon Point is a private club in Katy that's…read morepart of the clubcorp group. I played with a member recently and had a tough round in the summer heat, but the course itself was very nice. The course was very challenging. There's water on 16 of the 18 holes, fairways are tight, sand traps are placed riiiight where you typically roll your drives, loooong par 4's, postage stamp elevated greens and those massive bushes that love to steal your ball. I suffered even worse because it was my first go at the course, so plenty of surprises. One condition issue was the tee boxes. I'm not sure if they were re-seeding or things were moved around due to a recent tournament, but the distance to the holes from the tees were way off from score card yardage and looked beat up. Service was great. Everyone I encountered was friendly and happy to help. We had a tee time following a junior tournament so there were plenty of people milling about but we still got everything we needed quickly. Facilities were nice enough though I didn't linger. They have a large bar room next to the pro shop for that hole 19 beer. I changed in the locker room and did notice that the changing area seemed a bit shabby for a private club. Thin carpet, nameplates missing from lockers, scuffed furniture, etc. I'm not considering membership at this club or any others at this time, so I'm just focusing on the golf round which was good. If you typically slice or haven't broken the 90's in your game, bring extra balls and some patience.
