Almost 20 years ago, Houston Gym opened as an alternative to big, impersonal fitness centers with staffs of high-pressure salespeople. We built a facility that boasts NEW state-of -the-art equipment, yet retains the casual feel of a neighborhood gym. Simply put, Houston Gym is a place for people who are serious about achieving physical fitness.

Houston Gym is committed to providing our members with the tools they need for an effective, efficient and enjoyable exercise program. That's led to a well-earned reputation as a great place to work out.  Our knowledgeable, professional counselors take an active role in each member's individual success, creating an atmosphere of assistance and encouragement. Nationally Certified and Accredited Personal Trainers will take your fitness to the next level.

Having outgrown our original location, our awesome new 15,000 square-foot facility is at 1501 Durham. Apply online for a FREE TRIAL PASS and let show you how consistent weight training with state-of-the-art Cybex® equipment, Precor and Lifefitness cardiovascular program and common-sense nutrition can assure your success.

REVIEWS

Digital City

Houston Gym is a laid-back, high-energy neighborhood spot with all of the modern equipment and none of the attitude of the large chain gyms. It offers an extensive freeweight facility and has upgraded to LifeFitness Cross-Trainer machines for low-impact cardiovascular workouts. The gym concentrates on all aspects of fitness,from cardiovascular to wieght training. One of the 15 personal trainers on staff will walk you through your first three or four workouts and help you determine your personal fitness goals. Not only is the gym's attitude relaxed, its payment plan is too -- you are only required to sign up for a simple one-year contract.
