This review is long over do. I always though I was a pretty fit and knew how to lift properly, until I joined Washington. Hanh and James were able to quickly point out my deficits and guided me how to fix them. I stayed here for two years until I moved from Houston and it was definitely worth it! Working out here definitely changed the way I think of fitness and made me develop much better habits even after moving. Their staff are true professionals and are amazing at what they do. Keep up the good work, guys!

WG is a boutique gym that specializes in group training workouts where the trainers will teach you the moves and walk around to correct form and encourage throughout.Theres three tiers of the workouts so its a great place for all types who have one thing in common: they are committed to getting fit, the right way.With membership, WG also offers nutritional guidance, full-body fitness metrics, and just an all around good group of people.Membership is pricy, however, if youre looking for a gym where you can feel at home and are surrounded by fitness fanatics like you, this is your new home.

Ive been a member for 2 years and this gym has changed my lifestyle in a great way! Before joining, I was very skeptical because I wanted to know what the hype was about. I was currently looking for another gym /personal trainer to give me a boost since I felt like I hit a plateau. I joined Washington Gym due to the awesome reviews and was only planning to stay for 3 months. I was definitely wrong. Ever since joining, I participated in the transformation challenge.. My eczema has drastically improved (rarely any breakouts) and my strength and overall health progressed. Who knew that nutrition and working out would help so much!? Im extremely grateful for the coaches- Guillermo,Ariel,Megan,Melanie,Hanh and James. Theyve challenged me in every way and gave me the push I needed. Love them!! the $$ spent for the membership is extremely worth it. There is nothing like this!

I’ve been going to Washington Gym consistently for a year now and love it. When I am there, I know I can always count on a good workout and positive atmosphere. Also, the coaches are awesome and are super helpful during workouts and whenever I may have questions!

The best place Ive ever worked out - and Ive tried a lot of things. The staff is awesome and genuinely want their clients to succeed. The trainers will work with you to modify workouts when necessary, and theyll also push you when you need it. Its not cheap, but theres a reason - and its absolutely worth the price because you get so much more than just a workout. I cant say enough good things about it.

I have been a member at Washington Gym for almost 3 years now. I love this gym so much! They are amazing and really work with you on form and proper technique. I had injured my wrist and they were able to tailor the workouts so I wouldnt strain my wrist and was able to continue working out while I rested it. I moved further away from the gym last year and decided it was too far for me to drive so I actually quit the gym and tried something else. I didnt last there very long because I just didnt feel like I was getting everything I could out of a workout. I also felt like there was no focus on form at this other gym. I decided to go back to Washington Gym within 3-4 months of leaving and could not be happier! Even though I have to drive an extra 10-15 minutes to get there, it is definitely worth the time! I am so so happy with this gym and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger, be motivated, and be part of something much more than just a gym!

I have been going to the Washington Gym for 9 months now and I can honestly say it is the best fitness experience I have ever had. The coaches are dedicated to helping all members holistically improve their health through training and nutritional guidance. I could not recommend a gym more.

I absolutely loved my experience at Washington Gym! The trainers and staff genuinely care about each member and their fitness goals. They take the time to get to know your strengths and push you to improve where you are weak. The program the gym follows is thorough for each muscle group, is adjustable for each member (if you have previous injury or are pregnant), and it is constantly changing preventing boredom of the routine. I highly recommend this gym!

Ive been a member for over 4 years. I used to struggle to find the willpower to workout consistently, however since Ive been a member I dont dread my workouts. The trainers help motivate me every day. The best part of the plan is that it totally changes every 4 weeks so your body doesnt have the chance settle into the same old routine.

I joined WG September 2017 and havent regretted it ever since. Its a wonderful gym with an even greater staff. Coaches are involved and care about your physical fitness but also your overall fitness-including sleep, nutrition, stress, and more. Everything is personalized to YOU! Ive gained muscle mass and have lost fat percentage-something I wasnt able to obtain at other gyms in the past. I strongly recommend this gym to anyone of all AGES. Get ready for a BETTER STRONGER you!

Washington Gym is amazing! The group structure creates a great sense of community, but the coaches/trainers are what truly make WG special. They are knowledgeable and provide each member with individualized attention & guidance. If you commit to WG’s program, you will definitely get results! I have been a member for nearly 2 years and cannot say enough good things about this place.

I have been going to WG for over 3 years now. I LOVE this place! The trainers really love what they do and it shows. The community and family atmosphere is awesome. I love having an environment to select a time of day, have a structured workout, and know Im going to get results. The trainers will correct your form, encourage you throughout, and help you get the results you desire. I would highly recommend WG to anyone!

Ive been a member at Washington Gym for 2 years now, and it has been completely life-changing for me. Im in my 30s and am stronger and healthier than I have ever been. When you join Washington Gym, you receive so much more than just general group coaching and a workout of the day. You get nutrition guidance, holistic health recommendations, individualized attention, and so much more. The coaches know every clients name and learn their strengths and know when to push them. I often underestimate my abilities, and the coaches are always there to suggest increases in weight, so I can continue to see strength gains. I had surgery on my foot last year, and the coaches gladly modified workouts to accommodate my injury.I wasnt new to working out when I joined Washington Gym. Ive done everything from bootcamp to spin class to group exercise classes at a big-box gym to online celebrity workouts. However, it wasnt until I joined WG that I saw real results (fat loss, muscle gain) in a short period of time. If you follow their workout regimen and nutrition advice, you are guaranteed to see results!Im a nurse who works 12-hour shifts, and its not always easy to come after a long work day, but this place breathes so much life into my soul that I never want to miss a workout. The trainers and the community of people here are amazing, and I look forward to coming every single day.

Perfect gym! The facility has all of the free weights, machines, and power lift areas one would need. For anyone interested in weight training, personal training sessions, or classes this gym is perfect. The facility is also very clean and isnt as packed as other gyms in the area. The price is hard to beat. Shoutout to Melanie Levy for giving me a great deal! I will definitely return to Fitness TX next summer.

Review №22

I have been a member at Washington Gym nowfor 2 years and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The trainers welcome you with arms wide open and they are truly in tune with each individuals needs. When I first decided to start I was trying to make changes in life and so I figured why not as orientation was free. Previously I had gained quite a bit of weight and I also had a back injury so I knew that I had to be careful with my choices. In the orientation, they get to know what your goals and needs are and they take you through the process of how to do basic exercises the correct way so as to avoid hurting ones self. They also help with nutritional guidance and accountability which can be super hard especially with a hectic schedule. Please note that in the duration that you attend the gym and beyond they will never forget you and they will constantly grow with you as those needs and goals change.I decided to take the plunge and honestly its one of the best decisions I have ever made. There are 3 groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced and in no way does one feel rushed to move, you graduate at your own pace. I should probably know because i was in foundations forever and did not want to move up and still continued to get stronger. Each group will always be overseen by a trainer but they give you space to self develop as well. Many times they rotate throughout the workout to make sure that there are always eyes on us and we are doing everything correctly. My results mentally and physically have been tremendous. My body looks and feels amazing and I have a want to hit the gym on a regular basis. The BEST part is, is that its not just a gym its a family. They have planned events which encourage the family getting together and getting to know each other, its truly something amazing to be apart of. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE!

Review №25

I have been a member of Washington gym for 3.5 years. The owners and trainers are so knowledgable from nutrition, exercise, and techniques to ensure you succeed and meet your fitness goals. Before joining the gym, I had tried all the trendy/fad diets and workouts, but WGs program gave me the all around best results Ive ever had in my life! One thing I love about this gym is you just show up and your workout is already laid out for you. They segment the days into different areas of your body to work out. I love the cycle structure and how easy they make it for you to follow a routine. You will learn proper technique, how to lift weights following tempo, and have phenomenal results! Some other perks to this gym is they have a thorough weight/body fat composition machine, take photos of you to keep yourself motivated, and a far-infrared sauna that I became addicted to. Lastly, I have become so close with the trainers and other members of the gym. The community vibe there is irreplaceable and makes your workout time fun. If youre looking to switch up your fitness routine and achieve your workout goals, then I would HIGHLY recommend Washington Gym!

Ive been going to Washington gym for just about a year now - Ive lost 40 lbs of mostly body fat and feel better than ever. I like the fact that workouts tend to avoid heavy loads, which saves joints and avoids injuries in the long run. I highly recommend for any type of individual.

Review №28

I joined Washington Gym a few months back and have been very happy with the results thus far. My strength has improved and Im starting to gain noticeable muscle mass. Ive always had difficulty motivating myself to go exercise when it wasnt something that I enjoyed, like basketball. But the trainers here are more than happy to let you know that theyve noticed if youve not showed up for a few days, and that small level of accountability has helped keep me going back through the difficult early stages of starting a regular workout routine. Further, the trainers are very capable and, most importantly, very willing to help you out at a moments notice. When I start getting tired and slack on my form, it wont take long for someone to tell me to straighten my back, pull back my shoulders, chest out, etc. It is pricey, but if youre like me and struggle to do this stuff on your own and a regular personal trainer is out of your price range, you couldnt ask for a better community to set you down the path to reach your fitness goals.

I have been with Washington Gym for over 6 years now and I can honestly say that this gym is the BEST there is in Houston. I have tried multiple gyms including 24 hour fitness, LA fitness, Orange theory, 9round, and have even been introduced to crossfit for the convenience of closer locations but I always end up disappointed.The trainers at Washington gym are very knowledgeable and go past just understanding our anatomy and pushing us physically but also helping us understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle and developing good habits that give us the best outcomes. The details found with each workout and the personalized attention from the outstanding trainers is what makes Washington Gym so different. This is the only gym that continues to challenge me and not get monotonous like so many others do.

I used to join cardio gyms with standard programs, but Washington Gym is so much more than that. The training plan is a great mix of cardio and weights. The trainers really know their stuff which makes the workouts unique. I’ve been coached through pregnancy and injuries and always come back stronger. If you want real results and are going to put in work, this is the place.

Ive been working out at WG for 2 years now; I have worked out in other gyms and none of them have the quality and personalized attention that Washington Gym has.WG gives you all the necessary tools for your personal development, including monthly changes in the workout, food guidelines, measurement tools and personalized attention needed to achieve your goals in a sustainable manner.

Review №33

Really awesome coaches, pretty well organised space, and excellent daily workouts that will get results! The weights and space may be intimidating at first but trainers give a demo at the beginning and also walk around giving tips, modifications, answering questions. Even though youre working out on your own youre also doing it together with a group of people, so there are familiar faces and youll make workout buddies and WG a positive vibe. I have only been here about 7 months but my body has changed significantly and I feel stronger and leaner. I cant recommend this place enough!

Ive been a member of Washington Gym for about 6 months, now. I was looking for a gym that would challenge me and hold me accountable for my workouts. Ive been a member of 24hr Fitness before, but was never consistent in going and never knew how to do a proper workout with weights. I would quit, join the gym, quit and join the gym again. This time I wanted to be different and was looking for a gym that kept their eyes on me to make sure I was doing my exercises properly. I did a little research and came across Washington Gym. I made a consultation appointment with Judith then later met Hanh. He explained to me in detail what Washington Gym was all about and had me do a workout under his supervision. WOW! I was soooooo out of shape. I then paid for a year in advance on the spot. I needed to do this for me to get my health back on track. My medical report from my Doctor was not good. I love everyone there. Its not just a gym, but more like a family that supports you. They do hold me accountable for my workouts, they make sure I am doing them properly and always make sure I am challenging myself. I keep getting stronger, and stronger everyday. Thank you, Gulliermo, Melanie, Megan, Ariel for your support and helping me strive to be the best I can be!!

After 6 1/2 years of doing Crossfit, I was looking for a change, after several fustrating attempts at different places a friend had suggested Washington Gym. I looked at their website and thought well, okay, lets give it a try. After an initial orientation, I signed up for a year. Still skeptical because I didnt think there was really any hope for me, I have seen results in 3 months! My body feels better and looks better. The trainers are super nice and its like literally having my own personal trainer in every workout. Super knowledgeable, never condescending and overall great personalities, the trainers really know their stuff. The gym is always clean and the members are nice. Im glad I decided to make the commitment.

I have been a member at L.A Fitness, Orangetheory, Big Yoga, etc. Nothing comes close to Washington Gym. I am not just another member, Im not just one of 5,000. At WG, I am valued and they do a great job of showing it. The trainers go above and beyond to get to know every one that walks through their doors. They get to know you and your limitations. They figure out what motivates you and then they push you to be the best you can be. I am stronger, my mobility is better than it has been in years, and I have gained a wealth of knowledge when it comes to muscle movements and overall health. That is all thanks to the owners at WG and all of their awesome trainers. Washington Gym is where its at! Give it a try and you wont regret it.

Washington Gym (WG)…more like LIFE CHANGING GYM! I have been a member for a little more than a year and I absolutely love it! When looking to make healthy changes in my life, I originally looked into hiring a personal trainer until a colleague recommended WG and I am so glad I listened. From day 1 at orientation where I mean Judith (Client Coordinator) and Hanh Jones (one of the co-founders), I have felt right at home! Everyone, coaches and clients, has welcomed me and made sure that I receive the most out of my time at the gym. It is a community that really cares for each other! The trainers take a genuine, vested interest in the progress you make and are super supportive when you have questions or concerns about any of the exercises, nutrition, or life in general (stress, sleep, etc.). It isn’t just the workouts that keep me going back, it’s the holistic approach they take to health and well-being. I began my journey at WG working primarily with Ariel and she has continued to support me on my wellness journey. Most recently, I completed my first 8-week transformation contest and I couldn’t have done it without her support and encouragement! Ariel, along with the other trainers Mel, Meghan, and G are super knowledgeable and will work with you to help you achieve results. Go to WG, support them, and be prepared to transform into a more amazing, healthy version of yourself!

Ive been working out at Washington Gym for 2 years now and still really love it. Im usually a 1.5 year person and then feel I need to move on to something new, but WG keeps it fresh every few weeks with new workouts and different challenges.The owners and trainers are all very involved and focused on the success of the members. They take a holistic approach helping members with everything from nutrition to proper shoe guidelines and recommendations on specialists to help with alignment, massage, etc.Guillermo and Meghan are like family and always have a positive attitude. You will walk out of WG feeling more positive than when you walked in, thats for sure. Plus youll get a great workout in the meantime!My only suggestion would be to add a 7:30am class. PLEASE!? :)

Review №45

I’ve been a member for a little over 6 months now. I started off with just 3 months as a trial and it was a no brainer to stick to it. Previously I was your barre class/spin type of girl. I had never done any exercise like WG. This is a gym where the trainers truly care about your goals and your success. There is a huge “family” like atmosphere here. They create workouts that target such specific areas and make sure to balance them out by changing the workouts every 4 weeks. Within the 4 weeks, the trainers know how to push you the way YOU want to be pushed. I’ve had a lot of injuries in my past, and they work with me on making I’m not making them worse. Because of the size of the gym/classes, you really get that one on one attention that a personal trainer would give you. I have learned so much about what my body is capable of doing and what it needs. I make better decisions when it comes to diet because I have the workouts on my mind. I’ve never actually looked forward to my workouts until I joined WG! I’m actually sad when I miss them. It’s definitely a financial commitment, but I promise you won’t regret it.

Review №47

I have always enjoyed working out with running and other cardio activities. It wasnt until my husband convinced me to give WG a try that I have felt my best. The workouts change monthly so I am able to see myself progress during those four weeks. After the cycle, my body must learn new challenging movements, and I definitely feel it in that first week. The coaches are great, and they are supportive of my personal goals. They constantly push me to do better whether it be adding more weight, correcting my form, slowing my tempo, or even offering nutrition advice. My schedule is very unpredictable so I like that I dont have to sign up for class ahead of time and risk being charged more for not making the class. I have often had this issue at other gyms. The WG clients have become more than other people working out next to me; they are my gym community that hold me accountable. I look forward to starting my day off right with my 5:30am workouts at WG!

Hi
Review №48

This is one of the best gyms I have experienced. To give a full and proper review, lets start with the owners. Hanh and James are incredibly fit, are physical representations of what they teach and how physical trainers should appear. I am motivated by results and if these two guys look the way they do and tell me to squat, I wont ask how many because they are the RESULT. If I want to look like them, first and foremost, I need to be doing what they are doing. They are genuine and have a sincere interest in your well being and provide the care and individual attention you wont get in most facilities. They walk around and give individual care to correct form while explaining the result of performing a move incorrectly. They are mindful and connected to understand that body follows the mind and if you are present, you will hear the importance of staying focused and clear. They are constantly learning and growing their mindset, knowledge and skillset to bring that added value to their clients.Second, the staff is amazing and feel like family. Hanh and James take the time to bring in quality people who want to be part of a wonderful fit family. Without the right people, with the right mindset that aligns with their standards of integrity and care for their clients, they would have missed the mark on one of the best reasons why people come to their gym. I received the same attentiveness and sincere care for my well being as if Hanh or James were standing next to me.Lastly, the facility. Dont expect a huge, typical, chain gym experience. You wont see high-tech cardio or weight lifting machines in here. BUT If you plan to come, get focused and WORK, this is the place for you. The facility is super clean, very organized, simple smart layout. It is very open, spacious and inviting. There is even an infrared sauna to support in detoxification and showering facilities.To summarize, this gym is amazing and you will see your own results. It has everything anyone could need or want; inspiring fitness leaders, caring staff, and a quality gym,. If you want more for and from yourself, go here. If you dont, go eat doughnuts. =)

Washington Gym has been incredible for me in my first month. Ive not only lost a lot of weight, but ive found a very supportive, fun community who roots for each others successes. Its like having a second family. James, Hanh and the staff at washington gym have been incredible in their encouragement of safe, tailored, exercise techniques. Highly recommend to anyone interested in a life changing experience.
