    Came here for a couple of sessions while on holidays. I loved it honestly. May be little, but it has all you need and a lot of personality and good vibes. The gym equipment is not the newest but everything is super well maintained, clean and well placed around the gym floor. I loved the owner who made me feel immediately welcome. I liked thw crowd too, all the people I saw were training hard and didn't look line they went on a fashion show like it happens on most of the highest gyms. Honestly I still love places like these, iron and sweat, good people and great attitude. Last but not least, it feels good to support local business rather then bigger franchises.

    Love this place. Staff is insanely friendly. Has all the equipment you need and it's more like a family than a big gym. Seeing people focussed on working out and not just sitting around taking up equipment while txting is very nice.

    Absolutely love this gym! Really clean, the machines are modern and up to date. No issues in finishing my workout on time. The owner created such a lovely community, it’s like my own little workout sanctuary. ❤️

    Amazing, friendly and professional. They know how to incorporate my injury into exercise rehab. Their precise nutrition program is also sustainable. Great community for someone looking for a long term lifestyle change!

    Everything you need from a gym and then some. Trainers and staff are awesome and make you feel at home and welcome. Geared more towards bodybuilding, powerlifting, HIIT, and general fitness. Not as big as corporate gyms but if you are serious about your gym goals you will be able to achieve them here. The regulars are always friendly, laid back, and fun.

    Solid gym. Great customer service, easy day pass system, and reliable equipment. If you like smaller gyms this is the one for you. They have everything you need is a small space. Also, bathroom/locker is awesome. Plenty of mirrors and they even have feminine hygiene products for free. If you're visiting the River Oak/Montrose area, make the easy choice and head to The GYM.

    I just got a 6 month membership here. It is a small place, but they have great equipment. They have a deadlift platform, heavy chains, plate loaded ISO row, single leg leg press, and a weight sled. Their dumbbells go up to 150 I think. It is a great spot to lift. Also Wes, the owner is a great guy. He is smart and friendly and always helpful with lifting tips and nutrition advice. I strongly recommend checking this place out.

    My favorite gym ever. Affordable small business that keeps their customers first. Its a smaller gym setting but has everything you could need/want to train casually or on a intermediate/expert level. Everyone is very welcoming (Marvin is amazing) and the facility is kept clean and tidy at all times. 10/10 love this place

    My boyfriend and I just joined The GYM and we absolutely love it! They provide great equipment, extra amenities, wonderful customer service, and an inspiring environment. The second you walk in the door you are welcomed by a friendly face that makes you feel right at home. Everything is very clean and well taken care of. I can’t recommend this place enough!

    In town for work, the owners allowed us to stop by and take a look to see what we thought. We asked about day passes and they were no problem. They charge $15 per person, well worth it. The gym has every piece of equipment you need regardless of your program, and the owners had great conversation. Very accommodating and the atmosphere and others working out were awesome. I’ll come here every time I visit Houston.

    I’m in the area maybe 6 times a month and I just love coming to this gym when I’m back. It’s a part of my back-in-the-H routine. I always feel good working out here. Love getting my grocery shopping done at the Kroger next door right after my workout. Just makes my day that much more efficient.

    My husband and I had memberships there while we lived in the area and everything about it was great! Marvin and the staff are all incredibly nice and make you feel welcomed every time they see you and the equipment is good. It's very different from a big box kind of gym where it can feel like a bunch of people just there for social time and showing off, in this gym people are there to really work hard and make changes and you happen to meet great people along the way.

    I did a ton of research trying to find a gym when my girlfriend and I moved to Houston. I have to say I’m glad I didn’t pick any other gym. If you want a big box gym this isn’t the place for you. This place is much more personal, welcoming, and inviting. If you’re from out of town and need a gym this is 1000% the one to come to. They have plenty of flexible membership options.

    The GYM is the best gym ever!! Don’t be fooled by the size...there is plenty of quality equipment for every muscle group and duplicates of the most popular items so you never have to wait. Speaking of which The GYM is never too crowded (even at peak times!) and everyone is very respectful of personal space. The owners and trainers there are SO nice. They make The GYM so welcoming. As someone who is new to the area they always go out of their way to recommend ways to get around, things to do and places to go. If you are looking for a new gym be sure to check out The GYM!!

    Joined this gym after being fed up with the national chain gym I was previously a member of, and I couldn't be happier! It is abundantly clear that the owners take pride in their work. The staff and the clientele are all so polite and respectful, I feel safe, my belongings are safe, people actually re-wrack their weights and wipe down equipment, and for the first time in a long time, I actually enjoy working out again. If you, like me, are tired of chain gyms where you constantly have to worry about if your car will be broken into, tired of a gym that reeks of weed and mold, tired of half the equipment being non-functional, tired of having to take multiple 45-lb plates off a piece of equipment after some lazy slob neglected to take them off himself, do yourself a favor and join this gym. Your peace of mind and a stress free workout await.

😠 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.
