Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Houston, Texas

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 started f45 back in March and have loved my experience there. The coaches are very helpful and motivating. Great environment for team training. Absolutely would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a new one.

Just started with F45 and the workouts are just what I needed! The coaches are so kind, helpful and keep you motivated throughout the whole work out!

I've been going to F45 Louetta for two months, and it's been amazing. The community is great, the facility is great, and the coaches are THE BEST. Hardest part is getting yourself to go, but as soon as you walk in, you'll feel the positive energy and encouragement from the amazing staff. Admittedly, I don't have any other training experiences to compare to, but I will say that for me, it will be really difficult to work out anywhere else now. These coaches are constantly correcting your form, careful to help you modify, and always pushing you to do your best. They make these workouts as fun as possible, and you will never leave regretting you came. They also keep the place clean and tidy, so if that's a concern for you (which it was for me), I recommend checking out the place. Reagan, Crystal, AJ, Seth, Steven... y'all are seriously life changers!

I have been a member of F45 Louetta since opening day. I have worked out at different gyms for 35+ years and I have to say F45 is my favorite. I love HIIT and weight training and F45’s workouts support this. Huge variety for all levels of ability. The coaches are amazing. Every single one now and past. They are supportive, Educated, and always willing to answer questions and teach the best technique and modifications. Bonus is the members consider it their Fit Family. Many friendships. I highly recommend visiting the studio to see.

Great Fitness training group classes! Trainers here are simply the best! They are all so passionate about your fitness goals and make sure your body form is correct during the exercises! All the trainers are so much fun and really motivate you to work out harder!

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.
