Not realizing how large the city of Houston is, this was quite a drive for me to get to from where…read moreI was staying, and I speak for someone who is not familiar with the city-much less Texas-at all. Since I mapped it out beforehand, I knew where to park and how to get to the gym. This was a fairly large shopping area, but EQX was right there, and the desk is there in front once you enter. There was a really nice girl this day with long braids, and she directed me upstairs to the locker room and informed me that parking validation was not necessary at this time; the gate just went up as you pulled up to it. Perfect! After going upstairs, I did wander around and then a trainer directed me over to the locker room, which was spacious and very clean. The fitness floor is on the second, and as soon as I found the treadmills, I knew where I belonged. Light movement in the stretching area after, and then back to a shower with decent water pressure. What I was fascinated with was how friendly staff was. Trainers actually smiled and said goodbye which you won't normally see in California or New York. I certainly wasn't at home! Compared to other locations, this one was very low-key, although I admit I came during the afternoon where it was probably quieter. I had forgotten this is the location that I was in contact with back in 2020 when I had ordered some masks from their shop since they were actually open. I had such a good experience that the trip here to see them in person was worth it!

Came to Equinox for the first time for a Spa treatment. I…read morelove that when you book a spa treatment, they let you come in and use the gym/sauna beforehand. The gym equipment is a bit outdated though. I do like the fact that they offer cold towels post-workout to cool off. For the Spa treatment, I got the Hydrafacial 50 Min - Deluxe. For a first timer, you can also receive a 25% discount as well. Kristen was my esthetician and she was truly the best! You could tell that she was very experienced. She was very knowledgeable about all of the products and the facial itself was very relaxing. Really enjoyed the lymphatic drainage the most, she had my face looking snatched and jawline on point and skin truly glowing. 100% recommend booking her for a facial! Parking - Free in the parking garage

Took Jaymie's Align I at this studio for the first time. The studio is conveniently located with…read moreeasy parking. Jaymie is warm, energetic, and I appreciate her demonstration as well as hands-on adjustments to ensure we understand the exercises and alignment. 50 minutes flew by and the ending stretches and affirmation sealed a great workout!

This review is of an Align 1 class from someone who has done mostly classical pilates for 6-7…read moreyears. Somewhere in between classic pilates and HIIT. Lots of classic/contemporary pilates movements but done back to back in super high repetitions with none of the mobility focus or breathwork in classic pilates. This was extra weird for me since the class was called "align". This class was also really strangely paced. You do a ton of ab work with lots of repetitions for a very long time then a break of doing nothing, then arms the same way, then a break of doing nothing, etc. There wasn't really a flow like in other pilates classes and a very intense focus on a particular body part at a time- often until failure. We were kept in the same positions (on your back with legs in tabletop and on your knees doing armwork) so long that it was kind of painful just maintaining the position. It was a really tough workout if that is what you're after and you aren't hung up on the classical pilates format. Overall I liked it fine and the instructor seemed better trained than at most of the contemporary studios popping up. 2 complaints: 1. Instead of asking each person individually as they enter if they have injuries to be aware of, the instructor just asked the entire class as a whole. I didn't tell her my injuries because it felt weird announcing it to a room full of people. 2. Two different women in class almost face planted when they put all their bodyweight on the back of the carriage while it was on the lightest spring. The entire front of the carriage flipped up like a seesaw when they moved to the back. For it to happen twice in one class seems kind of dangerous. Overall I would probably try some of their other classes, but wasn't in love.

Short review: Looked cute, went in excited, but left so embarrassed by the teacher's demeanor that…read moreI quit pilates. Full review: I really wanted to love this place since it looks so peaceful and nice. However, once I took a class here, I went months without going to any other pilates class anywhere. I am still a beginner and learning the ropes but had already been to several classes at other places. After going to a class here, I felt embarrassed for even trying to get into Pilates. During the class the feeling kept increasing and the instructor wasn't truly reassuring, seemed almost annoyed even. At the end she recommended private classes which kind of topped it all off and made me take a break from boutique gyms in general. Not sure if it was a sales strategy or just how they are, but unfortunately this studio was not an encouraging place for beginners.

This studio caters to all skill levels and you're able to adjust difficulty during the classes if you need a little more/less. Love how the location is also right off of 610 and doesn't require me to drive all the way in the loop.

My friend brought me to Salt Power Yoga just over a month ago. My first class was "happy hour yoga"…read more- 60 min yoga with Wendy, followed by happy hour snacks and drinks. I felt this sense of belonging. I didn't know anyone but I felt right at home. The instructors genuinely want and try to get to know each of us and make us feel appreciated as a member of the Salt Power community. Each instructor has similar style and poses/flow moves, but adds their own unique flare. Some classes are instructed with music, but most are silent and all you can hear is your breathing. My single, most favorite thing about Salt Power is the inclusion and the warmth (figuratively, not literally though it is ~90F). No matter each individual's place in their practice, the instructors always make sure to express to everyone that whatever they are doing is accepted and amazing. Personally, I respond well to positive affirmation so I really appreciate this. If I don't have a pose, but it is recognized that I am working on it, it encourages me to try harder. It's not everybody's style, but it sure is mine! If you haven't checked out Salt Power and are unsure about committing to a place to practice, you can check out their Happy Hour class because it is donation based and you really get a sense of the community. Every class I go to, I make at least one new friend, but usually more. In addition, they have an awesome promotion where the first 30 days are only $30. That's the equivalent of 2 drop-ins. What a steal. I am so happy I found Salt Power and I am so excited for my journey with them.

First time trying this class through ClassPass and it was only one credit, which was a great deal…read more I also heard their regular pricing is very fair. The yoga instructor was charismatic, welcoming, and made the class enjoyable for first-timers. The only downside was how crowded the class was. Mats were basically side by side with little to no space in between people, so you definitely have to be comfortable sharing personal space. Aside from that, the energy and instruction were great.

Black Swan Yoga is one of my favorite studios in Houston, and for good reason! Their drop-in class…read moredonation ($12) is probably the most affordable option in the city right now. I enjoy going to Black Swan--not only for the affordability but also because they often run monthly specials, which I always take advantage of. Parking can be a pain if you're going during busy times (after work), but the classes I take around 1pm, or even 4ish, I can ALWAYS find parking on the street. I try to get there 10 minutes before for space and a spot in the yoga room. The White Oak location has a small room that can fit about 60+ people. It can get a bit cramped, and you're definitely up close and personal with your neighbor, but honestly, it doesn't bother me anymore. I enjoy the classes and the community! I especially love taking classes from Jose--he's hilarious and makes every session such a blast. His classes are not only fun but also an incredible workout! Definitely check them out!

Classes can be booked through the MindBody App and you're sent alert reminders about class ahead of time. I don't love the parking situation, hence the four stars.
