This relatively new and beauuuutiful gym opened up within the past year, and I would've been so…read morehappy to have a gym like this when I was a student! Its clean, shiny, modern design allows a lot of natural light come through the windows. There are rows and rows of cardio and weight machines, free weights, several benches, maybe 3 squat racks on the first floor. There are also several basketball courts that double-times as pickleball and table tennis areas too. Head to the second floor for an indoor track separated with jogging/walking lanes that tour around more cardio equipment + an area to stretch and do free weights/floor exercises. Fans of group fitness classes will have to pay for semester passes, but they have endless choices of yoga, circuit training, cycling, pilates, bootcamps, and even tai chi classes, plus those specifically for older adults! Members of the community (non-students) can also nab a membership here too, so it's a great choice with an amazing price to stay active! My first visit with my dad today really impressed me and I can't wait to come back for another workout next time I'm in the area :D The 2nd floor is definitely quieter if you like your space (and colder!). They keep it well ventilated with the AC and Big A** Fans (that's a real brand, I'm not joking). Views through the large windows are great with fields in the back (you can spot families of deer wandering around!) or big blue skies in the front if weather permits. Lots of free lockers with locks to store your stuff. The restrooms are clean, and the lockers have several showers too. There's apparently a small sweat towel service! And you can check-out equipment like basketballs at the front desk too. Personal training is also available. There is also a grab and go cafe at the first level and tongs of nooks and places to sit and study. There's no dearth of plugs either. Free public wi-fi. You can find indoor study rooms and outdoor patios with tables on the second level to hang out and work on things. *dreamy sigh* Downsides I can think of: no swimming pool. And they close really early Friday-Sunday at 6 pm~ UH Clear Lake students get free membership, but otherwise community members can start working out for $25 monthly. A parking badge/slip is $5 monthly (giant parking lot). Only 2 guest passes per semester. If you're just in the area, a day pass is just $5-- check it out! ^-^b

Shawn is great, friendly and is willing to work with you on things. Courts are close together, but that's par for the course at pickleball places. Great indoor spot in Houston, I recommend!

Courts feel a bit tight since it is a warehouse after yall. They did try to do it up very well tho. Floors good, except walls come at you quick. Bar are is your standard bar thats done and layed out very well. Happy faces everywhere to serve you. I ordered a 6 pack of dos equis and it came out to be $40! It did come out in a little cooler filled with ice so that was nice. Overall decent place for Pickleball, just the area feels a bit tight at times and since its close, balls tend to fly around from other courts.

We came here for the Houston, 1000 Little League tournament. The facilities,the parking lot,…read moreconcession, bathrooms were all impressive. For our families who are traveling with their kids to compete, there was a playground for the little kids that was covered under a tent so that they can play without the heat. During the summertime, I can see parents and family and friends watching the game from the oasis building. The south shore oasis building has large glass windows that parents can watch the games from while having an adult bev. Inside the oasis building, they sell food, drinks, and even alcohol for adult. Oasis building also has a bathroom inside, which is really nice. As far as parking there were plenty of parking spaces and it was very easy to get to this location for the tournament. The closest hotel would be the Fairfield, which is not even half a mile from the baseball fields. T I had two orders of churros which came out to be like 10 bucks. Chicken strips and french fries that came out to be about $20. My advice for families who come here and want to save money is: bring a reusable water bottle and filled with water to bring to the field otherwise you're paying about four dollars for a bottle of water. If you want to order real food, you can get it delivered through DoorDash and meet them at the front gate of the baseball field. They do allow you to bring in food and drinks as long as there is no glass. If money is on issue then there's plenty of food drinks and alcoholic beverage choices. They also have breakfast and lunch menu menus as well as chips, drinks and snacks. Also, for those who are wondering what kind of seats they have , it's the stadium style seats like they have at the Astros game. Individual seats It is not the metal bench that will get hot in the summertime. Plus I also like that the sun is behind you when you're watching the game. These are games from 8am-2pm.

Our event host and our wait staff were efficient, respectful and attentive. Highly recommend the Taco bar.. there was a ton of food for our team and a great variety for all, including our vegetarian and vegan without having to order separate dishes off the menu. Cathy, our event Manager was fantastic to communicate with and was very accommodating. Everyone had fun playing pickleball and while I have never seen it before, it was really fun to watch :) This venue also has an elevator for the second floor, which is where our event was held and we also had access to the rooftop seating area. Definitely wheelchair accessible. Highly recommended for all, I would definitely go again. Thank you to all who made our experience an exceptional one!

It's a great place for families, friends, or anyone looking for something different to do. The only downside was that it started raining while we were there. The outdoor courts became soaked, and it didn't seem like there was much of a plan in place to get them playable again. We eventually asked if there was a solution, and the staff came out to squeegee the courts so we could continue playing. I do want to give credit where it's due, the staff handled the situation well once we brought it to their attention. They extended our court time, allowed us about 30 extra minutes indoors while we waited, and even gave us coupons to come back another day. That level of customer service was appreciated. Despite the weather hiccup, we had a really enjoyable Father's Day and would definitely return. Hopefully they'll develop a more streamlined plan for rainy days, but overall it's a fun venue with good food and a great atmosphere!

There was no one to answer questions about the menu so went to the hostess up front who was very nice about it and did answer questions...

This seems so impersonal - maybe that's just the way the world is going, but if so, I'll just cook at home from now on.
