Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Houston, Texas

Went all the way here to discover this is NOT a public access gym. It's for programs only and is inside a school parking lot. Wasn't described on the website.

Only been to gym area it's decent inside but the area outside needs some upgrade community wise

I’ve always been a fan of doing my own routine and never really liked crowds working out however this location is one of the most comfortable gyms I’ve been to in a long time. The community is welcoming and I’ve grown to have a gym family here. The staff here are some of the coolest trainers I’ve met also. When I needed a little help on my form I was lucky enough to get the BEST assistance from Helan. She’s full of knowledge very encouraging. Seems like she’s able to help anybody at any level. If you’re thinking of getting a membership here, DO IT.

The equipment is clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of machines and free weights. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, especially Allen and Helan. They are always welcoming to everyone. The atmosphere is energetic but not overwhelming, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced lifters. If you’re looking for a gym that’s clean, welcoming, and well-equipped, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!

The staff is friendly & helpful, and the environment is always clean .However, the standout is definitely Leo at the front! I’ve never encountered such an amazing employee. He always greets me with a welcoming attitude every time I come in. I’ll definitely continue coming to this gym!

Helan is great at getting you familiar with the gym and setting a standard workout routine. Also, she’s always with a great attitude vibrant demeanor that makes one feel like you can ask about anything the gym without insecurities. She a great staff member/trainer

I love working out at this location!! Super friendly staff, especially Leo! He made me feel welcomed and gave me great advice on my workout journey 💪🏼 Definitely recommend this location !

Great gym. Smaller than other ones but I still like it. Lots of massage chairs and new treadmills. Will definitely come back. Also they open early on weekends.

My favorite gym in Houston thanks to their FLAT hydro! My spine relaxes significantly more on it vs. the lounge chair hydro. Hopefully they'll get more flats. :-)

I was generally fine with the gym as a whole, but this branch has lost my confidence due to its outdated cancellation policy. Requiring members to cancel their memberships in person because it's "company policy" feels inconsistent and unnecessarily inconvenient. It’s frustrating that the gym accepts electronic signatures to sign up but insists on pen-and-paper for cancellations. This inconsistency lacks logic and fairness. Policies like these seem designed to make cancellations harder, possibly to dissuade members from leaving — I plan to update this post if true. From a business perspective, I understand the desire to retain members, but this approach is counterproductive. Instead of hiding behind an incoherent policy, find better ways to encourage loyalty. Modernize the process to allow for electronic cancellations and make the experience seamless for your members.

Imagine what!?!? You can’t cancel and you have to accept to be robbed legally. I am out of state and I can’t cancel my subscriptions so they can keep charging me. I asked to be called back by the store manager and she never cared to do so.

While it's an ok gym. Little small. The biggest plus about it used to be it was 24 hours. Now the close at 12am on Friday and on the days I have the most time they close early. I'm looking for gyms close by that are 24 hours

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!

I do not like posting bad reviews. This has been a great starter gym. The staff has been somewhat friendly when you walk in and when you leave. However, the manger here does not seem to know what she is doing. I had changed my bank and my membership lapsed so I used my credit card when I came in Nov. Dec I still had not added it to my account so, this time they added a late fee and made my total $42.11 on Dec 23 around 3pm The clerk at the desk told me so, I paid with my credit card again. When I came back in the app was still showing a balance due. I told them I paid with my card when I was here last. Can you look up my check in history? SHe says It does not show a charge. I know it doesn't, that is why I am talking to you. Can you look up the credit card charges for that day. Let me look up my history the 23rd, it was the 26th now. Can you look up the charges for that day? Yes, it shows you owe and have not paid since November. Baffled, I said maybe you are not understanding what I am saying. No I hear you. She starts repeating what I said and what she said. I just told her to cancel my membership. Guess what, next day still not cancelled. I had to go up there and talk to somebody else. I will be disputing the $42.11 they stole and then maybe they can finally look up the charge. Fitness Connection has a lot more equipment, nicer people, a woman's only section, free weights, steam room, lots and lots of equipment no waiting. Thank you so much for forcing me to find a better gym.

I got hit by a Diesel Truck 5 years ago and it broke all my ribs,my jaw, my hips,my leg and cracked my scull in 3 places and cracked 5 vertebrates in my lower back and 2 in my neck, damaged my spleen, kidney,and my lower intestines. I had to wear a diaper for more than 7 months.i had to have both hips completely replaced,plate in my head and 8 bolt's in spine. After all the surgeries the Doctors said that I will never walk again That was July 18th 2023 . So I was 307lbs can't hardly move my left arm and was told that I will never walk again. Well I said fuk that and worked my ass off and 8 months later I was walking and took my Harley and got on it and went to the Doctors and told them fuk you. That's when I went to Planet fitness and asked the young lady if I could try to see if I could start working out.I didn't know if I was ready to start working out with yet but I started slow and lost 157lbs and then I put on 32lbs of muscle. But if the young lady didn't let me try then I wouldn't have made it this far.

It was a very nice gym, very clean, and people were not hugging the dumbells or machines unlike some other gyms. In terms of price, I believe they are the most affordable around. You work out, nobody is trying to outdo anybody, everyone just focuses on their goal, workout and go home. I love it.

The restrooms is just nasty have this man can’t even aim right at all ! I’ve ask the front desk how often y’all clean the restrooms he we be cleaning tonight , it be nice to get it clean as often , well he tells me well ur welcome to get one of the sprays Wht we use to clean the equipment with to restroom and bring it back ! Now that unsanitary! Wow bro!!! Hope ur boss see this

I just signed up for the Gym, but the guy in the front desk ( Jeffrey S.) I don’t have any personal issue with him, he was really rude, when I was asking him about anything or signing up. To me it looked like he wasn’t interested in his Job. I request the @planet fitness team if somebody is not talking to customer or being rude with customer you should not hire them. I have worked in customer service, but my Job was to assist them and answer any concerns. When I came to ( Jeffrey S) he moved away even didn’t bother himself to talk to me and called her colleague to talk to me. Wow this is so disturbing and disrespectful.

A gem in houston area! I exercise today for an hour with comfort that I will not miss my salat before picking up my kids from school! One of the best gyms in the area with best trainers

Amazing Recovery Room Experience! I’ve been a regular member at ADF womens fitness for some time now, and I’m thrilled to see the newly introduced Recovery Room for which i was eagerly waiting for since june .I tried their massage and heat compression therapy, and I must say, it has made a world of difference! I’ve had some nerve pain in my leg that gradually developed since I started working out. The heat compression therapy provided amazing relief and significantly improved my blood circulation, which I believe has been key to the healing process. My leg pain has reduced tremendously after just one session! The Recovery Room is a fantastic addition to the gym, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to relax and recover after a workout. The staff is professional and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great job team ADF

I joined ADF 2 years ago. It's been the best decision of my life! Where do I begin? The owner, Tahira, is extremely sincere, professional and dedicated to her business. She has thought of every last detail. There are so many fun and challenging classes to choose from. All of the trainers are uplifting and passionate and push you to push yourself, love those ladies. The gym is packed wall to wall with workout equipment, I've lost count. The brand new recovery room is the cherry on top. Bakir is a gem. She will help you relax and rejuvenate in the massage chairs, the sauna or through leg circulation therapy. I am so grateful for the sisterhood and emotional and physical positively that ADF provides. Proud to be part of the ADF family. The vibe is addicting!

This is a ladies only hang out place 🙌 Tahira and coach B are always smiling and welcoming. Awesome classes, great timings, amazing instructors! The place is huge and clean, it even has a seperate prayer and a massage area! Clean gym and work out areas and lots of equipment and so much room. Love it keep it up 👍🏼

I went to ADF for a tour, I got sucked into staying for a class, and then I got totally hooked. I decided to sign up on the spot. It's a whole vibe! Keep doing what you are doing ADF. Everything I wanted in a gym. High intensity classes, motivating tunes, a stair stepper (not all small/med size gyms have this), lounge to connect w friends, high quality child care and a massage room! 😀 STOP IT! I AM SOLD! I just turned 41 and THIS is my year and THIS is my gym!

yooo this looks fire asf😭gym looks cool fr

I have been going to this gym location for the past four days. I had the pleasure of meeting Kobe and Herson on Sunday. They were great and provided great customer service. On Monday, I met Philip, who has been giving me problems and making me feel uncomfortable while I work out. He is the only person who is giving me problems. I come here to work out peacefully and respectfully. Philip has been harassing me since day one. He has been excessively and constantly watching me and walking around me while I work out. He asked for a photo of me for the computer, and I said I would take one later. Philip commented, "Oh, we don't background check..." I said, "Why are you judging me?" and left. On Tuesday, Philip continued to harass me, constantly watching and walking around me while I worked out. He checked on me at least three times that day. I confronted him, saying that he was making me feel uncomfortable and harassing me. Why are you checking up on me and not other people in the gym? That same day, he wanted a photo for the computer. After taking the photo, he commented, "Nice picture," making me feel even more uncomfortable when leaving. The next few days, he continued to harass me, walking up next to me while I worked out and mentioning my backpack. And threatened to cancel my membership.  And I told him why he was picking on me and harassing me. Philip is the only person in the gym who is giving me a hard time. I noticed a black african lady that had a backpack similar size as mine. And he didn't say anything to her. I also noticed a Hispanic male with a backpack similar in size to mine. I asked him if he had ever experienced any problems because of his backpack. The Hispanic man said no. I told Philip that I carry my backpack to put my towel and personal belongings in. If I leave my towel out in public, I have a medical health skin condition that causes breakouts. I asked Philip why he was harassing me and why he wasn't saying anything to other people with backpacks. I told Philip I had no problem if he wanted to check my bag upon leaving. Upon finishing my workout on Thursday, Philip continued to walk around me and harass me again, saying, "Don't slam the weights down" and being petty. In all honesty, I did not slam the weights down while on the chest press machine. Philip, again, was harassing me and giving me a hard time. Philip said the sound was loud and that I hadn't eaten all day. I said, "Okay?" Just because it sounds loud doesn't mean I was slamming the weights down. I told Philip that I know how to work out. I have been playing football and working out for the past 20 years and I know how to work out respectfully. I told Philip again that he was harassing me and causing problems when I did not slam the weights down. I told Philip that he needs to stop harassing me. As we were talking, I used the word "brother"—I said, "Brother, you're giving me a hard time. And you're the only person giving me a difficult time." I said, "Kobe and Herson, your coworkers, were great guys and had great customer service. But you, brother, you're the only person harassing me and giving me a hard time." Philip got mad and said, "Stop saying 'brother.'" After that, I ended my conversation with Philip and decided to escalate the problem to the manager. I asked Philip what time his manager came in tomorrow. Philip refused to answer my question. I asked him again, "Hello, what time does your manager come in tomorrow?" He continued to not answer. Another customer, hearing this conversation, told Philip he needed to tell me what time the manager came in tomorrow due to company policy. Philip continued to act unprofessionally and sarcastically, saying, "In the afternoon." I asked, "What exact time?" Philip was clearly looking at the schedule and continued to act sarcastically, saying, "In the afternoon." After that, I left. I wanted to continue working out and use the massage chair, but I didn't feel comfortable because of Philip. Planet Fitness has a big sign that says "Judgement Free Zone," designed to make everyone feel comf

If I could rate this location for 0 stars most definitely would. So far the only location that turned me away for being in Jeans. Thank you Brittany. As I am walking back in to get her name. Clearly can see her pulling up my membership. Speaking with coworker that Explains it. Seeing what locations i go to. So far ONLY LOCATION to turn me away for wearing jeans. 💀😂 Trash workers and TRASH LOCATION TBH! I remembered why i disliked this location. The HWY 6 location is way better in equipment available to guests and by far way more qualified employees.

Amazing experience from the moment the client walks in.. staff and management welcomes you with a smile and somewhat personalizes the greeting per person. They also keep the gym clean at all times along with the members who does a pretty good job at whipping down the machine after and at times even before use. Good management truly shows on one's team members (staff) and even reflects on the behavior of the clients. Well done to this location and planet fitness in general.

Too many people hogging machines and even after management was made aware they failed to manage the situations continously allowing members to be on their phones for 5-10+ minutes without using the equipment they are on. (More than 1 person and more than 1 equipment). Makes the gym pretty hard to even use. After they take annual fee they act bad with customers,

I have a question and a complaint at the same time. I have my black card and I come with my wife to do exercises and enjoy the massage area. But there is a girl with blue eyes and yellow hair who doesn't allow me to use the massage area with my wife. Question: Can't I really use all the areas of the gym with my wife? Or is that girl being racist towards us for being Latino?

Second update: I'm going up to 4 stars because I really love this gym. Even though it's not 100%, you can still do your workout comfortably as always. There is still no access to the bathrooms or lockers, but they have installed bathrooms outside that are very comfortable and have AC as well as showers. For now, they are not charging membership fees to members and are giving free access to anyone who wants to come and do their workout, apparently only for the duration of the summer. Update: Finally after 2 months the gym is open, not at full capacity but open, with the same pleasant atmosphere. I hope they finish the repairs soon and it will be the same or better. Originally: Almost a month after the storm passed, the gym is like this. No sign of being opened again or notice by mail to members or anything. Just a sign on the door that says "due to the storm it will be temporarily closed." I feel disappointed, it was my favorite gym.

Exciting news: Gold’s Gym is making a sensational comeback! This location has undergone a stunning transformation, featuring a fresh, modern ambiance that will inspire your workouts. With top-notch equipment and an energizing atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to elevate your fitness game. Way to go!

If you go here during non peak hours, it is good / clean/ enjoyable. If you go during busier hours, good luck. Tripods everywhere (seriously, how vain and annoying can you be as a person?). Lower class clientele, people stealing your machines, shirtless dudes working out. This isn't Venice Beach. If I had an Equinox or Lifetime closer to my home, id be signing up there asap. Worth higher fees to be around more adults / an upscale gym.

I. Am. So. Happy. Gold’s new take on their gyms are incredible. They have quality machines. Signed up opening weekend. Staff is super friendly and they know what they’re doing integrating all the check-in tech etc. A beautifully laid out free weight section- tons of squat racks and benches. Everything is super neat and organized (yes it’s less than a week old) Love the design - it may seem dark but the lights fit the aesthetic. They blast some incredible music and have great bassy speakers! Really glad they opened this one on Bingle. Cancelled my previous gym membership right away. Hope it continues to be clean over the test of time and that it continues to attract like-minded individuals. Can’t wait to bring guests here! Appreciate the strict guest policy. Only wish there was some plan that I could bring a guest along with me (maybe in the future?) Enjoy, y’all! Hope to work out with some of y’all one day.

Love coming here!! The machines are really nice and employees/management make it a very welcoming atmosphere! The gym has an overall great atmosphere and it’s easy to get used to :)

I absolutely love that planet fitness is Close to home, extremely clean, up to date equipment, friendly staff, and it’s 24/7! I love the fact of the app so I can look at the crowd before going to the gym especially when I’m traveling the app is good to have.

Clean and large for all you need. This location has windows! Opened 24/7. Only problem is no soap holders in showers.

Every time I visit, the staff makes me feel so welcome with their kindness and professionalism. You can tell they truly care about their work. The facility is always so clean and inviting—it’s clear they take pride in creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door.

**Planet Fitness Copperfield: Where Gym Dreams Go to Die (and Bags Are Public Enemy #1)** Planet Fitness Copperfield is easily one of the worst gyms I’ve ever set foot in. Every visit here is an exercise in patience, not fitness. Right off the bat, the atmosphere is suffocating, dominated by a “Karen”-like manager Lauren who’s on a power trip, enforcing pointless rules with zero consistency. I brought a tiny bag onto the floor—a bag barely big enough to hold my keys and wallet—and suddenly, I’m getting the third degree about “gym policy.” Meanwhile, a guy nearby with a duffel big enough to pack for a vacation goes completely ignored. Rules for some and not for others—classic. And don’t get me started on their “solutions.” I’m told I can either leave my stuff in my car (great idea with the break-ins around here), bring a lock (because everyone just has one lying around), or hand it to the front desk staff—who are so busy glued to their phones, they probably wouldn’t even notice if my stuff grew legs and walked off. This is customer service? More like customer disregard. To top it off, I made the mistake of bringing a friend from out of town. I’ve spent months talking up this “Judgement-Free Zone,” only to end up with an environment so hostile, she left thinking Planet Fitness was running some sort of social experiment to see how much awkward, negative energy people can stand. And after today, I’m right there with her. It’s like they went out of their way to make us uncomfortable. “Judgement-Free Zone” is apparently code for “don’t bother trying to please or take care of gym members.” Bottom line: this place is a joke. They’re obsessed with petty rules and mindless enforcement, and I’m over it. If I wanted to be treated like I’m in detention, I’d go back to high school. Planet Fitness Copperfield, enjoy your empty gym—looks like EOS across the street is about to get a whole lot of new members. I’ve been paying and coming here years, not anymore.

Love this place, the staff is friendly, courteous and professional. Almost every time my girls and I are there, Aaliyah is there with a smile and gives us a warm welcome. We have truly enjoyed being there for the summertime. The Gym always looks clean and organized. The cleaning stations are always stock. Whenever we have a question, we feel comfortable to ask the staff, since we are new using the weights and the machines. Thank you all for the great atmosphere and ambience y'all have created. PS. The hydrobeds are awesome!!!

I’ve been going to this gym for a few years now and enjoy it from the amenities, to the staff, and the membership fee! they do a good job at keeping it clean and always having friendly staff, daniel is someone i recommend to onboard you if you’d like to join the gym!

I’ve been going to this gym for the past couple of months and I absolutely love it! From day one, I felt welcomed by the friendly atmosphere. The staff is incredibly approachable and the sense of community here is something special. Daniel and JW always greet me with a smile as soon as I walk in, which really sets the tone for my workouts. They make it feel like more than just a gym. I used to always be anxious when walking into gyms but it's really turned into a place where you can connect with others who share similar fitness goals. If you're looking for a supportive environment where everyone is super encouraging, this gym is the place to be! :)

This is an excellent gym to work out at! The staff, especially Daniel and Ashley, are always welcoming and go the extra mile to make the gym experience enjoyable. The atmosphere is great, and you can tell they truly care about the members. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this gym! Has versatile workout machines. Staff is incredibly friendly. Would love to shout out one of their fitness’s consultants, Alex who went above and beyond explaining memberships and even gave details as to what exercises would benefit me in my personal fitness journey!!

I’ve been going to this gym for a few months now, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a great workout. But what really sets this gym apart is the staff, especially Ashley and Alex, and Jon Ashley is an incredible manager who always takes care of me. Her positive attitude and personalized approach have really helped me stay motivated and reach my fitness goals. Alex, on the other hand, is always so helpful with any questions I have about the equipment or workout plans. His knowledge and willingness to assist make it easy for me to feel confident in my routine. Plus, he’s always got a friendly smile, which creates such a welcoming atmosphere. Had an on going problem for months and Jon was the only one who resolved it. Great having him there If you’re looking for a gym where the staff truly cares about your progress and well-being, this is the place to be!

This review is for the aquatics area: One of the biggest selling points for family’s with kids who get memberships at this location to find it closes early and it’s rarely open. They sell you on the paid lifeguards will open the slides daily from 12-6pm during the public school break. There is rarely lifeguards on staff the full time 12-6pm, they close early, open late, or don’t open at all. The woman’s whirlpool has been closed or drained so many times making it unavailable. Ambassadors who give tour are just there to give tours and sell you on services they do not back. Hook line sinker! Lamar the GM is conveniently unavailable and does not provide business contact information. On a brighter note, The machines in the gym area seem to up to par, definitely need more of the Cadillac Pilate reformer machines. Taylor the new personal trainer is very attentive and kind! Added pictures of the women’s whirlpool below. The nursing room in the family locker room does not have a working lock. The canisters of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner are either removed or empty in the family area. The inside pool with the loud bell is gross and needs to cared by a professional chemical company.

Really cool that the club makes certain kids programs available for non members. Just sing your children in and pick them up afterward—don’t be late. It’s likea daycare but better because you can workout and your kids are looked after even if you’re just on a day pass or single day use thing. Check in and check out is such a cool feature

As a fitness-love momma bear, I just want to share how amazing my experience has been with villasport. This is NOT just a gym because it’s good for families and everyone is super friendly. No one shames me and everyone truly understands what mom needs!

I really wanted to like this gym because the amenities are great, and the trainers are fantastic. But for the price, the cleanliness is absolutely unacceptable. Dust and dirt everywhere, especially in the corners, like they’ve never been cleaned. The machines are covered in old grime, the showers are filthy, and I even saw mold. The pools aren’t any better. I tried to stick it out because I enjoyed the workouts, but can’t keep forcing myself. Canceling your membership is a nightmare—you have to send a certified letter just to stop being charged! That’s shady and feels like a scam and shouldn’t even be legal. Never again. :/

I love how mindful the gym is of the family locker room and how that can be weird but a caregiver MUST accompany kids of all genders in the swimming or rinsing area and for kids under 13 years of age. It’s interesting and really good that they have the rules and they follow the rules and if someone is not following the rules they say something and take action; really safe—five stars
