Unlike a lot of boxes that give some basic intro workout, the coaches pushed us and really challenged our fitness threshold! My friend and I both appreciated the great instruction and the attention to detail, especially when it came to form and also motivation! This is one place I would love to be a part of! One great aspect is that the they incorporate Olympic Lifting instruction in the workouts. To me, Olympic Bar training is essential for overall, practical strength gains. In one 10 minute instructional session, I learned more than in 3 months of dissecting YouTube Olympic lift videos. Also, they provided much more personal attention to fundamental form and really tried to correct some bad habits. These guys care about you improving! I think their pricing plans are also very competitive and possibly better than most boxes considering the knowledgeable coaching and the heavy incorporation of Olympic Lift instruction. Thanks guys!

The weights focused classes always seemed to move too fast, other classes too cardio-based,etc. Well BFT has the perfect balance of all of the above but more importantly, it's done right! The trainers/coaches really pay attention to form and making sure you are getting the most out of your workout while staying safe. They also take the time to learn about you and your goals so they can "push" you in the right direction. BFT is more than just a gym, it's a community. You will see familiar faces in the gym and at BFT events you actually want to attend. All this to say, just do it!

My review will cover Stefani's barre class. I was first introduced to barre in 2019 and I've fallen in love with the practice. Stefani's barre class at Facet Seven Heights is my absolute favorite! Stefani is very upbeat, personable, fun, and extremely energetic! Her class is great for beginners and those who are advanced in the practice! She always has a fun playlist to rock out to and it makes the class even more fun! If you visit this gym, I definitely recommend checking out Stefani's barre class. She teaches on Mondays at 7:10pm, Thursdays at 6:20 or 6:35pm (sorry I can't remember), Saturdays at 10:35am, and Sundays at 9:45am.

Instantly when I started taking classes at Facet Seven I appreciated the community and friendliness at the front desk, members, and the instructors as well. I mainly take Stefani's barre, yoga, and ABC class but also have enjoyed HIIT and strengthcon with Emma. Stefani is a bright light and makes working out so fun but also challenging. Emma similarly looks to challenge but is also motivating and provided me modifications when needed with an injury, looking out for me when I didn't realize I could re-injure something without even knowing. The gym has a variety of equipment but is on the smaller side, so it's easier to see and get to know regulars in your class but also meet new people. Highly recommend!

It is for those three reasons I whole heartedly recommend Iron Oak. The coaches will take the time to help you understand the movement, and the objective of the movement.

If you are visiting, do not waste your time shopping around, there is no better box in Houston!

The coaches are very welcoming, knowledgeable about the movements, and create an atmosphere of camaraderie that makes everyone feel accepted no matter their level of fitness. I'd even feel good about bringing my own mother to this gym. Now how many CroffFit-ers can say that? Also, they are intentional about their training methodology. I am a very analytical athlete, coming from an endurance background of triathlons and running, and knowing where we are headed with our training and why we're going there is important to me. In my first conversation with Colin (even before signing up) he was able to explain to me what was coming down the training pipeline in the next several weeks and what the next phases of training were going to be. They actually put some thought into where their athletes are going rather than just randomly throwing together workouts for the sake of variety. Iron Oak takes the correct approach, knowing that in order to get good at something you need to do it with some amount of frequency. But there's plenty of variety in our workouts to keep the boredom away. A few other things: - The longer class (1 hour 15 minutes) means there's plenty of time to do the workout rather than rush through everything. - I feel very safe under the coach's supervision. - They have a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE facility! That means there's room to push sleds around, run, do farmer carries, etc., all without going outside. And they have a fridge should you need some mid WOD snackage. I'd highly recommend this CrossFit for anyone.

It just opened in…read moreDecember and specializes in CrossFit, which is a strength and training program that is all the rage these days. The website is clean, well-designed, up-to-date, and very informative. The Facebook page provides statuses on weekly free introduction and yoga classes. I attended a free intro CrossFit class on a rainy Saturday morning. Bowie was very cheerful and made sure to introduce himself to all the newcomers. His positive energy was infectious and made me enthusiastic to start the workout. The gym is a "box" type building with one room containing all the equipment and space for the workouts. You go through the CrossFit workout sets in the group, and it's very encouraging to go through it together. Because, trust me, with these intensive workouts, you're gonna need all the encouragement you can get! Fortunately, as I lay dying in a the middle of a set of pushups, Bowie remembered my name and (again, cheerfully!) pushed me to keep going. I like that even though the exercises are tough, Bowie never resorts to the "bootcamp style" of yelling putdowns or using negative reinforcement. He plays a varied set of music from his iPhone throughout the hourlong workout. I definitely laughed at the (somewhat joking) "LIGHT WEIGHT!" yells around the room. I didn't feel like anyone was judging me based on my fitness level or anything else. After the free introductory class, there is usually a complimentary (optional) yoga class with a Big Yoga instructor. It feels great to wind down with some stretching with phenomenal yoga teachers. The gym itself is clean and down-to-earth. Ample water and towels are available! I like that they cap their class sizes to promote safety and higher level of personal coaching attention. If I start working closer to Montrose again, I would definitely consider coming here regularly... and, Roots Juice is just 3 minutes away for an after-workout smoothie!

Popped into Rumble via ClassPass while visiting family in Houston recently. It's essentially…read moreBarry's meets Title Boxing -- a split-room setup with boxing bags on one side and benches/floor space for traditional strength and conditioning on the other. There's a similar concept in Dallas at a locally owned studio I prefer. It has no benches, and instead of a stage, the instructor teaches from a ring in the middle of the room. Everyone does the same block (either S&C or boxing) at the same time. That layout makes way more sense to me because: A) No matter where you are in the studio, you can see the instructor clearly. B) It prevents wasted time walking between rounds or stations. At Rumble, the setup made transitions a bit clunky, and I could tell the instructor was trying to sync the music with the workout -- like timing the beat drop with high-intensity intervals -- but because both sides of the room were doing different things, it felt off. As someone who with rhythm, that bugged me. Anyways, the front desk staff were incredibly kind, and knowledgeable. Heads up: you'll need wraps and gloves -- you can rent or buy them
