    I hadn't lifted weights in about 6 years, and I started looking for gyms close by. I live in the greater east end, and it seemed like every time I did a search it was 24 hour fitness, or one of a million cross fit gyms. One of the lone real gyms that popped up with Be Fit Gym. I read reviews, I looked at videos, I looked at pictures, and I decided to let the fact that they didn't have AC or heat not deter me. The aesthetic of the gym is gritty. It's a big warehouse with all the equipment you need. And they play loud music that would never be heard in a gym like LA fitness or 24 hour fitness. So, one day, I drove up, and even half expected it to be full of pissed off looking muscle heads who would eyeball anyone new that showed up. What I found was, a staff that was super friendly and no where near pretentious. The people working out were serious about lifting, but not jerky body builder types. It was summer and the gym had all the doors open and huge fans blowing, and there was a constant breeze. Rap music and techno, was playing from huge speakers, loud enough to replace your headphones, but not loud enough to intrude into any conversation. The clientele seemed upscale but down to earth at the same time. So, I and a friend who went with me, decided to join. Over the 5 months that I've worked out there, I noticed a few surprising things. The owners actually remember your name. This place is their passion. One day Edgar, the owner walked on a treadmill next to me, and we just chatted for 30 minutes about the gym, where he came from, how excited he is about it, and some of his future plans. People smile, wave, and even have conversations with you, but at the same time, they don't intrude. With all the music, the warehouse feel, the graffiti on the wall, and the concrete floors, this gym makes you feel like you're not faking anything. You feel stronger, and more motivated and even elevated compared to people who go to the big box gyms. And with all of that, you develop this sense of simply wanting to be there. It becomes less about forcing yourself to get that work out in, and more about wanting to go to a place that lets you escape and lets you see people you like, and lets you work on yourself. There is a level of seriousness at this gym that serves to motivate without being competitive. Because in the end, really all there is to compete with is yourself, and this gym creates the perfect atmosphere for that.

    great selection of workout equipment. i never have trouble finding a parking spot or locker. i appreciate the lack of contracts and hidden fees. and i am happy to support a local gym rather than a corporate chain. the music is just too loud and usually terrible with an unhealthy message. please play better music just loud enough to drown out peoples grunts and we can listen to our own music in headphones. i will also say that the lighting would be better if the lights were inset and softer so they don’t blind you if you’re doing an exercise on your back. anyway i changed my review from four to five stars bc there’s no major complaints, and they are a great small business that is servicing the eado community well.

    Easily one of the best gyms in Houston, hands down. I love the atmosphere that’s been created, especially with the music, as well as all the equipment that’s available. Just about anything you’d want to use to workout is available a this gym. Everyone that I met was super friendly and helpful! I was only able to come for a day, but if I lived in the area I’d definitely have a membership here compared to any other gym!

    The best gym in Houston HANDS DOWN. They have a great community/family atmosphere that breathes positivity and zero judgement. The rates are fair and the staff will become your family. Recommend to everyone!

    This gym is incredible. I worked out here on a day pass while passing through Houston but they have an extensive amount of room and equipment. Most is in good shape. Clean. Nice staff. I wish this gym was in my town.

    Great place to go to actually work out. Most gyms in Houston are as crowded as bars and set up for a social environment, which is frustrating when 8 dudes are flexing in front of 2 squat racks playing grab ***. Be Fit has the camaraderie, the space, and the people to motivate you to work harder!! Love this gym.

  • 5/5 d m. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved working out here. I came at around 715am and was able to get a squat rack, bench, or deadlift platform every time. Great variety of equipment. Very cheap and no sketchy contracts or other normal gym BS. I actually like the lack of AC, and in the morning it isn't bad, atleast in July. Cons: bring your own towels! These aren't provided and you will sweat. Also, the music can be a little too loud sometimes. I like most music but someone put on dub step and that was distracting. Would wholeheartedly recommend this gym to those looking to get in and out and live in or near Eado.

    Great staff, the equipment is quality, AC is available in one area while you have the area with the outside weather as well. Friendly, restrooms well equipped, no doubt about the cleaning maintenance it does give you. Almost 3 years ago I started here, and I'm still going, second home.

    I was only a guest but Be Fit is sweaty heaven! LoL! The staff was incredibly helpful and I honestly loved the hype playlist! The indoor outdoor layout of this gym is definitely unique and worth a peek! When my current membership ends where I currently go I plan on signing up with Be Fit!

    A workout haven for fitness enthusiasts! This locally owned gym has become my sanctuary for all things fitness while here in Houston. A respectable playground of equipment that caters to every exercise style, their inventory is vast and reasonably well-maintained. The gym's unique trifecta of climate options - refreshing air conditioning, invigorating open air, or the empowering challenge of the outdoors - lets me customize my workout experience each day. The atmosphere is lively, charged by a soundtrack of motivating beats that always seems to hit the right note for pushing my limits. Price-wise, the value on offer is simply unmatched. The gym's clientele is diverse and committed, providing a great environment to focus yet see a friendly smile. A positive, focused vibe fills the space, making every session enjoyable. However, there's a bit of room for improvement. The lack of towels and combo lockers is a downside and the bathroom amenities could use an upgrade. Despite these minor hiccups, I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone within a 15-minute radius seeking a dynamic and fulfilling workout experience. With the awesome vibes and excellent resources, it's a definite 4 out of 5 stars in my book. Happy training!

    UPDATE: Gym just added free towel service! Great to see them improving! Very much appreciated. Increasing their stars from 3 to 4. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Friendly staff, clean environment, ample parking-- but locker room is horrendous. Virtually no room to change clothes, no towels, extremely hot and humid (little to no ventilation). Half of the gym does not have A/C which makes it nearly impossible to work out during the summers. It does have a wide variety of moderately used equipment.

    Be fit Gym is the best in Houston! Im there for 2-3 hours a day 7 days a week! when its time to leave,it's tough 😪💔..can't get enough of this place! 🤌🤌🤌🤌..sometimes I do 2 a day! Great music 🎶🎵👌

  • 4/5 James K. 4 months ago on Google
    Really good gym! Great vibe and people just mind their own business, no showing off or people being loud. That said, it still has that gritty hard work feel and the music reflects that. Only critique I have for this place is that they could clean some of the weights and plates better (I don’t think they do at all right now). I noticed my hands were getting dirty when handling some of the plates. The attached picture is what happened when I wiped one of them with a little cleaning towel, pretty gross

    This is a great gym. I love that there is an option to work out in the non ac room and also in the AC room. I feel like working out in the non-ac room helps my muscles be warmed up faster to prevent injury. The music here is super motivating for a workout and I like how loud it is. They have plenty of equipment so don't have to wait around much for open equipment. If I had one criticism I would say that they should do a better job in keeping the bathroom clean. Great value for the money and a great local gym!

  • 4/5 Jeremy L. 10 months ago on Google
    Overall good. The only thing is, I do not understand why they don't install AC in free weight and plateform area.

    First timer and not the last Definitely going to be a member! Went on the grand opening of its new location as a free entry. Signed a waiver and the lady in the front was so helpful and informative

  • 5/5 Nathan W. 1 year ago on Google
    Be Fit is awesome and Jordan is an exceptional owner. I'm traveling and Jordan was more than willing to accommodate to my poor planning. Very busy gym, but plenty of equipment so very little waits for any machines. Also your chouce of working out in a hot gym or an air conditioned gym. If you're thinking about signing up, do it!

😠 This place is a disgrace. The two lat pull-down cables have been broken for over three weeks and they look at me like I’m crazy for thinking they should be repaired. Most of the other equipment is either broken or missing. Even at $15 per month, it’s too much.

👍👍 I have been coming to Fitness Connection since April and I'm glad to say that I lost 30 lbs. It's a really big and nice gym. The perk is that they have a sauna. This gym also have many machines and cool classes. The workers there are really nice and knowledgeable. This gym is a keeper.

😠 By far the worst maintained LA Fitness Gym I’ve ever been to. Most of the Leg workout machines been out of order for almost 3 months. They just stopped caring about fixing because the gym is always packed and they’re getting their monthly dues. Literally there’s just one machine for leg rise Workout...
