Best Gyms with Basketball Courts near Houston, Texas

KEEP YOUR CHILD AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!! I signed my son up to participate in the YMCA’s youth basketball league. Unfortunately, the experience was horrible. At this particular location, nothing is organized. The first day of practice no one knew who was coaching the team and practice got rescheduled. At the first game, the coached never showed forcing someone else to step in who had no knowledge of the players. The receptionist at the front desk never knew what was going on at the facility and communicated incorrect information. Save your money and save your time. It’s not worth the headache. Update: All in all I have since seen improvement at this location. Still not perfect but they are making strides.

When did the YMCA start being closed on Sundays? They charge $60 for a membership to be closed on Sundays? I’m disappointed! I’m not gone lie, I’m pissed!The group exercise classes are made for elderly people because they are very low impact. They also used to have a teen camp here during the summers that they no longer have. Why are yal closed on Sundays?!

I always feel welcome at the YMCA. I usually work out here in the morning but every once in a while I will go to play basketball. This facility is always clean and the staff is always friendly and answers all of my questions.

For the rate you pay, the hours are not sufficient for those who only have time for an evening workout. Weekend hours need to be longer.

The WD Ley YMCA is a great place to workout, socialize and fellowship with likeminded individuals. The atmosphere is unlimited and the classes are awesome.

Absolutely amazing gym and amazing equipment. But the staff at the front desk at night literally suck man. I tried adding my family member to the gym membership and they did everything to just make it an absolute nightmare of an experience. Firstly they claimed we weren’t even family? Then refused to help us through the app. If I’m willing to pay for my family membership I believe it shouldn’t be such a stupid unnecessary tedious chores. This gym has been an amazing gym to me but the night shift front counter people are absolutely the worst if you expect to have questions about adding FAMILY members to family pass. Besides that amazing gym amazing employees Amazing people who also attend. Just the night shift front counter wants to make their job way harder tedious and overall stupid then what it needs to be and they are fully aware of it

I’ve been a loyal Lifetime Fitness member since 2018, but my recent experience at the Champions location has left me extremely disappointed. When transferring my membership back to this location, I was met with unnecessary hurdles just to get started. Once I managed to restart my membership, I was shocked by a significant price increase, which they claimed was due to switching locations. This makes no sense to me because the club level at Champions is identical to the Lifetime Atascocita location I came from. Nothing has changed to justify such an increase. On top of that, I was provided a phone number for the corporate office, but it’s nearly impossible to get a hold of anyone. I’ve tried calling multiple times without success. This lack of accessibility and customer care is incredibly frustrating. I am honestly in disbelief at how Lifetime Fitness has handled this situation. It’s upsetting to see how much the company has changed, especially after being a committed member for so many years.

This place is the most ghetto lifetime, if you have the ability to go to a different Lifetime you should, let me start off by saying that the kids daycare is very hot. Most of the time the AC is broken I go about five days a week and out of those five days at least three days my daughter is drenched in sweat and I usually go in the mornings when it’s not too hot I always ask the staff what’s wrong with the AC and the only answers I get is that they’re working on it. I have been going to this facility built for about five months and I get the same responses, now in terms of the gym equipment they’re always working on the cardio machines because there’s always some that are broken. Posted a picture of the leg extension machine which hurts if you’re wearing shorts it’s leather so as it starts cracking, it starts to hurt your skin. They don’t have conditioner or lotion or many of the other toiletries like the other Lifetime locations, sucks that every time you ask the manager, he will take it up to Coorporate and I guess Coorporate isn’t listening because this place sucks. The only great thing about it is the staff at the daycare and that’s what keeps me in that gym because there is no other gym in the area that offers such great childcare. But for $200 a month you would think that this place would be better.

Place is good in general but needs to have better upkeep. The lockers are dirty and some look like they haven't been cleaned in months. Some of the equipment seems pretty old. The cleaning stations sometimes don't have wipes. The pickleball courts are pretty clean and look new though.

I recently visited Life Time with a family member who brought me there, and I was interested in getting a personal trainer. Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience with a guy named Kyle. I had a question about personal training, but Kyle was incredibly rude and acted like I wasn't even there. He made me feel unwelcome and disrespected. We tried reaching out to the general manager, Matt, but he hasn't responded at all. Because of this experience, I would never consider buying a membership at Life Time.

Fantastic and modern YMCA! Compared to others I’ve visited, this one stands out as the most up-to-date. The front desk staff is always friendly and eager to help with any questions I have. Equipment and weights are consistently clean and well-maintained, creating a top-notch experience. This YMCA offers an excellent variety of amenities and activities at a cost-effective price. It's perfect for individuals and families alike, featuring diverse programs that cater to different needs. In my opinion, the YMCA is one of the best values for its price, combining quality, cleanliness, and opportunities for everyone to enjoy.

An excellent variety of programs and features with incredibly friendly staff. The value of the services and options is unmatched at any other gym or community center. We are greeted by welcoming staff every time we enter. This is not just at the main desk, but every time we enter through the outdoor pool, enter to drop off the little one at the child watch center, enter to the main pool to talk to the life guards, enter a fitness class, or just about anywhere that we enter. In case you missed the subtle comments above, in addition to all your standard gym or community center offerings of gym equiment, basketball, walking, etc., this place also has and OUTDOOR pool with small water slides, indoor pool with hot tub area, a child-watch area to so that parents can enjoy the other offerings, and fitness classes all included. This is all at a FAMILY price that is less than 1 or 2 memberships to any other local gym with an outdoor pool.

I think this location is great! (I’m personally only here for the childcare so I can workout) As a first time mom I was nervous of the child care system but the staff was actually SUPER great at handling all my questions and concerns. I was a bit disappointed that I can’t see the room my child is in nor can I go in and see what the room looks like & while I understand the reasons, it’s a bit odd. They don’t change the babies diapers or give them snacks, so don’t expect that of them(I like this rule personally and they have restrooms nearby that you can change them before going in and a lounge area that you can feed them before they go in too). Overall the staff is sweet and my daughter had a blast her first day. I do wish there was a camera system in the room that parents who are scanned in and in the facility can use to see how it’s going cause I feel like in todays age, I rather know my kid is safe and isn’t being mishandled (which as parents we know some childcare facilities have been in lawsuits for things). The only thing about the child care that kinda sucks for me is that they are closed from 1pm - 4pm which is right around the the time I wanted to bring my little one in cause it’s her wake time. So if I end up finding somewhere with a better schedule that suits us, I may cancel at some point but for now, I think the staff is what’s keeping me signed up here. The gym area is actually very big and has a ton of great equipment! Platforms, kb’s, hack squat machine, turf area and so much more! People mind their business and just workout, the pool area is clean. Their indoor basketball court is a great size with a track on top. I think it’s great personally! I’ve attached the kids hours so others moms can see if it fits their schedule. 💕 Edit/update: as a former manager/gym worker, the staff is always kind! however, I see a lot of them standing around. The women’s restrooms need repairs and a deep clean, stall handles are loose and the locking mechanism for the stalls don’t even work. Some of the machines in the weight area need a repair man to come out and fix the cables, platforms need a good steam for less slippery feel.

Terri at the front counter super RUDE for absolutely no reason! And the parking is a little bit of a problem during busy hours! Please work on your employees respect for your members because I always use please and thank you!!! Other than that the turtle pond behind the gym is a plus! O and sad that there is no sauna or steam room.

The instructors are great. What I love even more is that the YMCA is a family. We care about each other. We look out for each other. We’ve made friends in our classes. We don’t go there just to work out. We go there to work out with our friends and see our friends. We go out to eat with each other sometimes. There are class Facebook groups. I moved to Utah a few months ago and I miss this family. I still keep up with them through the Facebook groups. I was in town 2 weeks ago and went and to work out at a couple classes. They were so happy to see me and it was like I never left. My new gym isn’t like that. Even the workers in the machine room get to know you. The staff when you walk in are so friendly. I don’t have that here. You don’t find this at too many other gyms.

I love coming to this gym.It help me to get in good shape.I have my own gym at home but I coming here to challenge myself physically.Not only I’m working out on myself physical health.I’m working on my mental health and building up my confidence stepping out of my comfort zone.This is my therapy place and my after hours where I come here after work or When I get out of the house.Wherever I have a bad day or what’s bothering me I come here and I put all my emotions into my workout.I am a friendly kind nice person.I like meeting people and showing them respect in here.

I love this location . I like that they have a movie room to work out in, i love the sauna and the women's workout area. I take my son here also because they have a cool kids area that includes tablets for them to play on, a movie room and other activities. Great workout place

This gym was a huge disappointment. (Only came because EOS was overly crowded)The customer service is absolutely terrible. No one was welcoming or helpful during the sign-up process, and I wasn’t even offered a tour of the facility. To make matters worse, the equipment is extremely old, poorly maintained, and often left scattered around in the wrong spots. It’s clear no one bothers to clean or organize the gym, which is both unprofessional and unhygienic. I expected much better for the price and will definitely not be returning.

Not sure who the person in charge was tonight, but coming on the intercom every 15 mins to remind us how much time we have left and then claiming to be closed at 9:55pm when people were clearly still finishing their workouts is extremely unprofessional. We all have jobs we don’t want to be at and homes to get to, but being incessantly annoying by raising the music and playing loud noises for the last 5 mins before closing was genuinely so unnecessary. In the beginning of the video you can hear him say “pa que se vayan” which means “so they can leave.” We all pay for service from 5am-10pm on weekdays. If you don’t like being in charge till 10pm, maybe it’s time to find a 9-5. This isn’t the first time they close early or open late. Please do better.

Great customer service from Ever R. And with the help of Isaiah they really give the personal touch. You feel very welcomed and highly recommended it above Planet fitness!!!

Fitness Connection at this location is outstanding! The cleanliness is unmatched—the entire facility is spotless, from the workout areas to the locker rooms. It’s evident they prioritize maintaining a hygienic environment for everyone. The professional and welcoming staff only add to the experience. I absolutely love working out here and highly recommend it for anyone who values a clean and organized gym!

Do not waste your money here. There were at least 9 machines that didn't work and not all of them had out of order signs. The place was packed and we waited for a machine but were not able to work out so we canceled our membership.

I want to take a moment to recognize Harold, the amazing person in the front desk. From the moment you walk through the doors, his warm smile and positive energy set the tone for an excellent workout experience. Harold is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely friendly and approachable. Whether it’s assisting with membership questions, helping to resolve issues quickly, or just offering encouraging words, he always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and valued. What truly sets Harold apart is his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. He remembers names, makes personalized recommendations. Thanks to Harold’s outstanding service, visiting the gym is always a pleasure. He’s a true asset to the team and the kind of person who makes you look forward to your workout. Highly recommend Harold as the gold standard staff!

Great gym and awesome trainers! I had the pleasure of working with John, he’s incredibly patient and skilled at explaining things. Even when I don’t understand something the first time, he doesn’t give up—he’ll reexplain it in a way that makes sense until I fully understand l. His dedication to helping me improve is such great motivation. If you’re looking for a great trainer- John is the one!

I’ve been at this facility for 2 years.The facilities are top-notch, clean, and well maintained. The variety of equipment cater to all fitness levels and interests. The staff are incredibly friendly and supportive. Shout out to both Dre’s and Pluto. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and are always ready to offer guidance and encouragement. The trainers are knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you achieve your fitness goals. Overall, the staff provides a positive and motivating environment that makes working out enjoyable and rewarding. Highly recommend!
