Best Gyms with Free Weights near Houston, Texas

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

Staff and trainers are friendly and helpful. They're on time to any classes/appointments and give great advice to help you with your goals. They also make sure the workout equipment are clean and placed back where they belong. The attendees are majority older people, but they always have a good vibe and are respectful. Restrooms are always clean and stocked with the necessary items. There used to be at least 2-3 hair dryers in the locker room, but now there's only one.

I enjoy this gym, it has a good amount of space for the number of people who attend. However, it doesn’t have a hip thrust machine like another planet fitness that I have been to, and I really think they should get one because many members try to do hip thrust with either plates on their thighs or with the smith machine, and neither of these options are comfortable because if the bench moves back as you do the thrust the bar or plate will fall on top of you and that is likely to cause injury

Dear new manager of the Planet Fitness on Louetta and Grant, please do me a huge favor and actually enforce the sign in the 30 minute express area. It clearly states that area is designated for express workouts only and it is monitored by staff, but it isn’t. Every day when I am there multiple people come over from the main gym just to use one or two pieces of equipment in the express room and they do 3-4 sets and camp on the equipment for 5 minutes plus. This really interrupts people’s “express” workouts. The only reason I joined was to do the 30 minute express workouts during my lunch hour and still have time to grab a quick bite after. This isn’t happening because the rules aren’t being followed or enforced. Please do better. Update: changing this to a 5-star bc Marissa was helpful in assisting me with this issue today. She’s aware of the situation and attempting to enforce the gym policy that the circuit training area is not for overflow traffic from the main gym and reserved for express training just like the big sign says that most people walk past and ignore. Thanks Marissa and the rest of the staff.

Niyah was great, her customer service in making sure that I enjoyed the black card spa , and all the other services Planet Fitness offers, 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend.

I recently started working with Charles Davis at Planet Fitness, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! As someone who has never worked out before and struggles with low self-esteem and social anxiety, I was really nervous about taking this step. However, Charles made me feel completely at ease from the very first session. He took the time to understand my goals and created a personalized workout plan that focuses on building strength in a way that feels achievable for me. His encouragement and positive attitude have made a world of difference, helping me to push past my comfort zone without feeling overwhelmed. What I appreciate most is how he fosters a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Charles truly cares about my progress and celebrates even the small victories, which has motivated me to keep going. I feel more confident in myself and excited about my fitness journey, all thanks to his guidance. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Charles. He’s helped me take my first steps toward a healthier lifestyle, and I can’t wait to see where this journey leads!

I recommend this gym to anyone who short on time, prefer high quality in equipment and good atmosphere.

Extremely clean gym! Very friendly staff. Morgan is very knowledgeable and helpful. The equipment is very new and the sauna is amazing. Great place to workout.

This gym is legit, the 24 hour access and sauna alone are worth the monthly membership. Not to mention the equipment you don't see at other gyms. Never over crowded but gets a little full when I go on weekday evenings. All the other members are cool and respectful. Everyone just got their headphones on working out trying to get right!!!

Doing the day pass today and so far the gym is amazing and very clean! Love the new and clean equipment here! For the size also I’m amazed that it has its very own sauna which my current gym doesn’t have. Will definitely be coming here since it’s a a few minutes away from me.

their membership is $50 a month and you have to sign a contract, the gym is small and basic, but it is open 24/7.. i opted out for LA fitness because it's the same price, month to month (no contract) and it has a pool, racket ball, two floors, steam room, basketball court etc etc for me Invincible is insanely overpriced

This gym is always clean, organized, and has a welcoming atmosphere that makes working out enjoyable. The owners are very kind-hearted & accommodating and keep the gym well-maintained, making it easy to maneuver & stay focused/motivated. If you’ve had second thoughts or are looking for a new gym home this is definitely the place!! Peace & Blessings

Very clean, neighborhood gym. Everyone is so nice and respectful. I have been seeing the personal trainer, Mo and she is fabulous. I came with lots of health issues following cancer treatment and she works with me to create and modify plans that work for me. I have a long road ahead but feeling and seeing the progress has given me more energy and a more positive outlook.

Great gym. Never busy, I was in and out within an hour. The facility was never dirty always clean. All the employees were very respectful and always asked how are you/your day. They also give a military discount. If I didn't start my own home gym I'd still be going here.

What a great gym. love the overall vibe. And most importantly the lack of super ego. haven't heard one grunt. haven't seen bars with way too much weight on them bouncing off the ground or witnessed anybody occupying an area for 45 minutes filming themselves doing what usually turns out to be one lift. followed by a march around the gym. The place is exceptionally CLEAN. It's clear that it's a priority to keep it that way for the members. So very glad i found this Diamond in the Cypress.

Very clean and everyone is respectful. They have everything you would need for a good workout. All the machines are kept in great condition. The staff is awesome and very welcoming.
