Recently began taking intermediate level salsa dance lessons here. Overall I give 4 stars based on the location, instruction, reasonable cost of lessons, and spacious venue, as well as a very friendly atmosphere! Hector, Sarah, & Claudia Vasquez are the instructors. Hector is a straight to the point person, and keeps the class moving on schedule. We were able to knock out a fairly complex dance routine in one hour. I consider the routine upper intermediate considering the speed of the steps required to finish the pattern. If you are new to salsa, this would have been a difficult pattern to figure out. We had time to practice during the lesson with multiple partners. You don't need to bring any dance partner with you, many of the students came solo. The lesson started at 9:30 pm on Tuesday and we finished around 10:30. What I really liked was they started playing music right after and opened the dance floor to practice some more. And they offered wine, crackers, and cheese to socialize & schmooze as well. Nice touch. CultureBeat held a salsa social dance here last night. It's a BYOB with $10 cover, and Although the rain was pouring, people were flocking in. Lots of dance space, and slick dance floor. They played salsa, bachata, and kizomba as well... And again great atmosphere! Worth mentioning, the venue has its own parking lot however, the building is located east of down town in a not so great neighborhood, and that's the only reason I did not give a full 5 stars. Otherwise, as I always say, Viva La Salsa!! read more

See all

I've become a regular now at FitMix, & I can't help but invite my classmates and friends to join, too! I do FitMoves with Hector & Edgar and it's a combo of weights & Tabata, a HIIT workout. Oh guuuuuurl, got me burning over 700 calories easily each time...well not easily bc it's a WORKOUT...got a girl sweating up in there, but it's super fun and I love that I'm still burning calories after I leave. Also, there is never a worry about being judged. It's like family there! read more

After talking to the owner, who wasn't the person who refused the refund to us, I've decided to update my review. As a new company, they are still learning. They have changed the website completely to avoid any future confusion, and it appears they have removed any reference to aerial on their site, aside from their Yelp page. Just make sure you talk to Yuri if you have any problems. :) read more

The Zumba class is a blast! The instructor has a lot of energy and keeps the class interesting with a variety of moves and music. It less "formal" than some of the other classes I have been to - for example, the instructor goes back to his phone after almost every song to pick the next one rather than cycling through a playlist. This was kind of nice since he allowed people to request particular songs. The other participants are really nice & there seem to be a set of regulars that knew each other. The only part I didn't like is the studio is in a bit of a sketch area. I parked in the parking lot around the corner next to what looked like a cafe and there were a 2 beer cans in one of spaces. Would highly recommend this class for anyone trying to add variety to their workout routine or just want to have a fun dancing session! read more

Love bootcamp at Fitmix! Yuri and Edgar are very welcome, accepting and supportive of every one in bootcamp, regardless of their fitness level. They make the workout both intense and a lot of fun! Everyone in bootcamp always ends up having a good time sweating it out in the AM. I've grown stronger since going for bootcamp at FitMix! read more

I started going to FitMix as part of ClassPass, and it is one of the most welcoming gyms I've ever been to. The instructors are energetic, encouraging and fun. I've been to Zumba and Nightclub cardio, both of which are a blast. The hour flies by, and you've had a great workout before you know it. The folks that work out here are super nice too. All ability levels will feel fine here; there are super-jacked fit people, and people with a little more fitness to gain and weight to lose (like me!). I never feel out of place. Check it out for a fun time! read more

I will be moving to Houston in the coming weeks....I've been looking for Zumba and I found IT! I took a Wednesday morning with Veronica, she is awesome! She is sweet, welcoming, encouraging and full of happy Zumba energy! So grateful for a morning class during the weekdays. I look forward to dancing again at FITMIX! Thanks for being a happy place I can go and get fit in a fun and friendly atmosphere! read more

LLOOVVEE THIS STUDIO! I moved to Houston in January and since then I have been in search of a great Zumba studio in/near Downtown. I joined FitMix a couple weeks ago with the new member trial and I'm obsessed! The instructors are amazing and treat their students like family. I have attended the Zumba, Zumba Toning as well as the Flow and Forrest Yoga classes. I plan to try the HIT or high intensity training soon as well. All classes are definitely a great work out! They have been doing a new thing some Fridays where the studio will move their class outside in front of Ninfa's and do an hour combo of Zumba, Yoga and HIT, which is super fun! This way you can try all the classes out... and afterwards we do happy hour which is a great way to get to know the other students and make friends. In the same building there is another company offering aerial yoga which is separate from FitMix. I think I might eventually try this as well although it is a separate pricing structure.. but you can do drop-in classes to try it out (but make sure to reserve a spot online because they are popular!). I noticed that a previous reviewer seemed to have an issue understanding this, but I went into the studio before I signed up to get a tour and meet the staff and they were very clear about the difference in pricing between FitMix and the aerial yoga place. And they laid out for me what the new membership included. This person's issue does not reflect the reputation of this studio and if you are looking for a great place for Zumba and regular yoga in the area then this is the right place for you! The teachers are very energetic and I can't wait to go to class everyday. It has been a pleasure working out here and I plan to continue my membership after my new member trial is over. read more

The most amazing and intensifying Zumba studio in Houston. Yuri, edgar and the team are packed with positive energy and the focus is on every minute details to comfort the class. A must try if you have not already. read more

The BEST variety of classes and most amazing instructors in town. I drive all the way from Kat because this is the absolute best!

The most supportive, encouraging group of trainers and coaches I have ever met! The classes are fun and they push you to your limit! it's also very educational health wise. It feels like a family environment. read more

I am still going to FitMix and love everything about it! There are new instructors that are wonderful and the old instructors are so great too!! read more

I love this place! Flow Yoga at noon wore me out! I can't wait to try the indoor boot camp!! and PILATES REFORMER AH!

The facility is Awesome! We rent out space there on Friday nights for a West Coast Swing dance. The AC works well enough to keep up with 100+ people dancing, the staff is easy to work with, and the place itself is gorgeous! read more

Great, clean, and effective fitness studio! Everyone is super kind and committed to providing you with the tools for lifelong wellness. I take Zumba and Flow Yoga and I've lost a few pounds already! It's tough sometimes, but getting fit is worth it. The bathrooms are also very nice! I'm so glad I have a positive upbeat place to get fit! Thanks every one! :) read more

Really enjoyed my first Zumba class here! Wonderful studio where you're treated like family instead of just a number. And when I say you're treated like family I mean that in the best way possible...they just support you and have a great time with you instead of laugh at your questionable dance moves :) Highly recommended! read more

The second I walked in at Fit Mix, I was welcomed with open arms and even received a personal tour of the facility by the owner. I loved everything about the Zumba class I attended- the energy of the instructor, the high intensity moves and even the regular participants were so friendly. Never in my life have j seen so many people be so happy working out! This is how working out should be! Thank you, Fit Mix for a great experience. read more

I am in love! Let me start with saying that, I am not a fan of working out. I get bored easily and have a short attention span, that is why I am not a fan of traditional gyms. I started attending FitMIx in March and I started with Zumba, but wanted more so I tried Yoga and currently am attending pound (youtube it, its amazing) and abs and glutes classes. They have an extensive schedule that they change monthly to cater to us. I absolutely love the staff there, they are who make it one thousand times better. The classes are great and the energy that comes from them is great. They are nice and they cater to your needs, they always have helpful tips for you and are personable. They are bilingual which is great as well! Prices: Compared to other gyms/studios their prices are not bad at all, considering all that they offer. Scratch that, their prices are not bad at all, even if they didn't offer all the extra stuff, the prices are very affordable and don't make you dread paying. You are truly getting your bucks worth! You can shower there and they even have products for you to use for FREE. They also have events that you can go to that are not "fitness related", for example networking events. You are not going to be sucked into a contract that you have to fulfill. You can either pay as you attend or you can pay for the month. They have different specials that you can chose depending on what you want. PS: Yuri one of the owners/one of the instructors is always willing to answer all of your questions. Great energy and will always make you feel welcomed! read more

So fun! It is more like a party than working out. Yuri is absolutely amazing at leading routines and keeping it fun and well-paced. Edgar and everyone there is so welcoming! read more

This studio change my life. I went from not liking to exercise to loving to exercise everyday. All of the classes are great. The staff is amazing.They are so lovable and caring. They always make you feel so welcoming. I love FITMIX! read more

I always enjoy spending time with my FITMIX family, today I returned for a yoga class, which was direly needed my mind and body needed to be realigned. The spirit which fuels everything burns bright, but the alignment has been taking a toll based on the physical demands of life. I recommend everyone come try one of the many classes FITMIX offers if not just for fun for your health. Movement is life healthy movement is healthy life expand your mind to expand your design!!! read more

As a recent transplant to Houston I have been in search of a home for my fitness needs. In my first months I tried two studios- including FitMix- and came back to fully enroll.This studio combines my two loves- Zumba and Yoga. As with anything in life, the teachers/instructors make all the difference. All the instructors at FitMix are full of energy, knowledgeable and make you feel at home. Though I thoroughly enjoy Zumba (and the ladies make it super fun!), my schedule mostly aligns with the 7pm yoga classes. I love the intimate setting of the yoga classes. They provide both the spiritual element as well as the physical challenge. I am still young in my yogi journey, and I feel well supported in each class. Both Angela and Yuri take time to provide feedback on each pose challenging you to engage fully and grow in strength and ability. If you are looking for a place to get your sweat on while also feeling like part of a family FitMix is for you! read more

This is probably the best zumba class I've ever taken in my life! I was already a member of another gym but a friend recommended joining her for a trial class - I did and was HOOKED! It's a hard core workout, a LOT of fun and energy (especially if you love dancing), and the best part is the instructors. Yuri and Sandry are amazing. The place feels like home and the people like family. Highly recommended :D read more

Awesome place! Beautiful facilities. The owners and instructors are friendly, caring and very motivating. This place is a welcome addition to the area. I would encourage anyone looking for a yoga or zumba studio to check this place out - you will not be disappointed! read more

Just went to my first Zumba class with a friend. Incredible high energy class. A little too much for this old lady (90 minutes) but a lot of fun! read more
