    Attempted trial pack and several class times. Members are fun and outgoing. Evening class was awesome, members and coaches were outgoing and welcoming. Noon class was AWFUL. WORST COACH I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. EVER!! Word is the new owner hired this chic with zero experience or personality. Someone will get hurt with this wild hair zombie coaching. Joined elsewhere and the friend that referred me there canceled as well. Owner should consider the liability if such atrocious person representing this box. This is your investment; make an attempt at not being careless! Clearly these owners are stubborn and think this will work itself out. Wake up before you catch a lawsuit!

    Not a man of many words on reviews, so I'll keep it brief. Owners/trainers are quality human beings. They've made some amazing classes and sessions for everyone at the gym. The CrossFit community is huge and there are gyms popping up all over the place, but this place makes you feel at home. The homeliness of the place only makes it that much easier for me to drop on by during my free time to get either a quick workout in or catch a class when I want to. Again, trainers and owners thanks and keep up the good work!

    I’ve attended classes at H-Town for 4 months now, and I just remembered that I need to give a review! The coaches are patient and friendly (as i am a complete newbie!). I’m learning so much about my form and capabilities. I am extremely grateful for the experience I’ve had so far!

    I was a member of CrossFit H-Town for a little over 3 years before I moved out of the area. H-Town goes above and beyond to meet all the needs of their members from a fitness standpoint with great programming and scaling options, two locations, Olympic Weightlifting and Endurance classes, and Open Gym sessions as well. The box is clean with great equipment that the staff is always cleaning and restocking. Put simply it is a great place to workout. What really separates H-Town though is the community. It is an incredibly supportive group of people with extensive staff that truly cares about their members. I recommend this box to anyone in the Houston area or for out of towers looking to get a workout in while on the road.

    I have been going to H-Town for a little over 6 months. A good friend of mine told me about this incredible gym. I remember dropping by for the first time and I automatically knew that this was going to be my new home. The people are very welcoming and friendly, and the coaches are always very detailed on what to expect during the workouts. In these past 6 months I have build better endurance and have gotten so much stronger. The structure and programming are by far my favorite. The gym also offers other classes apart from CrossFit to help you improve in any area that you wish to. I believe that the price is reasonable and worth every single penny.

    I was very excited when I joined this gym after moving from CO to TX. I have been doing Crossfit on and off for 15 years, and have always found it to be a fabulous community. I did a Paid in Full membership at the beginning of the year, to kick 2021 off right. Unfortunately, due to things opening back up and changes at work, I started traveling 2X a month almost immediately after that. Things have been uncertain for many people during this pandemic time. I approached the gym about changing my membership in April to something more beneficial on 4/19 with the Coach that signed me up. I was paying $80/class at the frequency I was able to attend, so it just wasn't making sense. The owner, Betty, told me the main thing was that they didn't want to lose me as a member, which I really appreciated! I went home that day thinking everything was resolved, and that I just needed to send a summary email. I emailed Betty, but received a response from Stella. She honestly made me feel like she couldn't care less about keeping me as a member. I had followed up every couple days for a week with the trainer that signed me up in regards to changing my membership, and even came in for 2 workouts, thinking we could finalize changes in person. I offered to give punches on my card for those workouts, but my trainer told me that it wasn't a big deal. I wanted to switch to a 10X @ $200 punch cards until my schedule normalized. It took until 5/7 to get resolution, and I was told by Stella at that time that they would switch my membership, but were going to charge me for the month of May because I asked to switch my membership too close to the end of billing cycle (?). OK... How many days does it take to discuss a client's membership? 5 minutes? Their inability to effectively communicate with each other cost me $165 extra. To summarize, Stella had the choice to gouge me for the $165, or take $200 for a punch card plus future business. She chose the $165...talk about stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime. On a separate instance, Stella offered a recovery drink to a classmate to try for free. He later saw she had charged his account for the $4 drink. CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP. Not what I'm used to in the Crossfit Community after being a member at 4 different gyms over the 15 years I've been going. My advice is to skip H-Town...there are several other Crossfits right in this neighborhood!

    Highly recommend to anyone considering CrossFit or simply looking for a new gym. Can’t say enough great things about the coaching or community at H-Town! Coaches take the time to provide personalized instruction and truly want to help you get better. If you’re living in Houston or just visiting, drop in for a class and check it out!

    I've been going to CrossFit H-Town for almost three years and could not be happier with my results. I initially joined to supplement my triathlon, 5k, and marathon races, but have learned to love H-Town and the community it's created. Additionally, I can say with confidence that CrossFit H-Town produces the best coaching staff. Some gyms have coaches who have CrossFit knowledge, but H-Town's coaches have the knowledge AND the ability to teach. They're fantastic and I know I'm in good hands each time I show up.

    Love this place! I was curious about CrossFit, but also hesitant. I was 54 when I joined and had a bad shoulder. I wanted to workout hard, but not re-injure myself. The coaches here are excellent and really focus on form. They pushed me hard enough and when I needed to back off always showed me modifications to help me keep the momentum going. A year later, I am stronger and more fit than I've ever been in my life. Everyone from the owner, Theo, front office staff, all the coaches are great. Friendly and encouraging no matter what your fitness level. The people who come to the gym are great too and there are a number of social events throughout the year to help you get to know each other. Best fitness experience I've had - bar none. Definitely check out CrossFit H-Town.

    I've been to several CrossFit gyms and H-Town is the best. They don't waste time during class. The coaches are well trained. The gym is quite a bit cleaner than the other CrossFit gyms I've visited. They have supplemental programs like the Torched Grill food, gymnastics classes, Olympic Weightlifting program, weightloss challenges, etc. There's a real sense of community at the gym. Maybe its the parties, maybe it's CrossFit, but a lot of people form lasting friendships at H-Town. I trained there for 2.5 years and loved it.

    While working in a neighboring building to the Silver St, location, I stumbled upon CrossFit H-Town. I was looking for a new type of workout. Something challenging, motivating, and most importantly, something that kept me interested enough to stick to it. What really convinced me to join CrossFit H-Town were the beginner classes the gym offers. In this class setting, the coach meticulously reviews the movements and provides additional personal attention. As a beginner and having never lifted a barbell, ever, I needed that personal attention to get the form of the movements correct to prevent an injury from occurring. I remember being a bit intimidated thinking, "what on earth did I get myself into", while watching flocks of people lift barbells and run long distances on the bike path, but once I took my first class, I couldn't have received a warmer welcome. The H-Town community is full of great coaches who are educated in what they teach, and as a bonus, fellow athletes and I quickly became friends. To cap it off, I have not only pushed myself to new limits at CrossFit H-Town, but I have grown much respect for the H-Town box and their coaches. My journey at CrossFit H-Town has also provided a tremendous boost in my health. I am stronger, and this year I took it a step further by beginning to eat clean and have lost 20+ pounds in a couple of months in doing so. If crossfit is something you're eager to try, but are hesitant or feel intimidated, I highly recommended that you at least just TRY it out, and CrossFit H-Town is a phenomenal place to begin that new journey.

😠 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...
