Studio Fitness Heights

Love this smaller fitness facility in the Heights. They have everything you need to get in great shape. Great trainers - I highly recommend Curtis - but all seem to do a great job. They just expanded to the space next door to offer even more fitness variety. Love that the training I get is not ""run of the mill"" and that my trainer keeps me guessing every week. more

Love the studio!!! I hated having a gym membership; first of all I never went but still paid, I hated feeling dumb trying to figure out how to use the machines and felt like I wasn't using them right. Not to mention the fact that everyone there seemed to always be staring. I have none of these problems at Studio Fitness Heights. My trainer is awesome, the people are awesome and best of all there is accountability and results. If you've been trying to loose weight or get fit on your own and have not been successful, I suggest you check it out. more

This gym is specifically for those working with a trainer and the trainers here are the best! Working with a trainer has been a real confidence booster. It takes away any fear you may have of gyms or machines and it keeps you accountable to actually going every time so you don't talk yourself out of working out. I've only worked with D'Ondra but all the other trainers are friendly and fun too. D'Ondra really inspires me to work hard and continue training. She's kind and caring and her workouts are always interesting and different - I'm never bored and always feel challenged. She's always encouraging without being mean but she's just the right amount of tough without being a drill sergeant. She takes exercise and nutrition seriously which has taught me to value it more. The gym itself is clean, there's always cold water in the water cooler, always clean towels and the equipment is great. They have several cardio machines to choose from - treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, row machines. Anything you need to train with, weights, bosu balls, cords, etc. And even though it's small scale and very personal you never have to wait for machines or have to share too much space with others but at the same time there are other people there so you get to know everyone and it starts to feel like home. I also love that as long as I'm working with a trainer there I can come into the gym whenever I want as long as they're open. Pros: very personal and friendly, feels like home Cons: not open on Sundays more

Since I live in the Heights, this is perfect for me to get in my workout. A great location with the friendliest owner/trainer named Jose. There are several trainers working here, I am working with D'Ondra. She has shown me the benefits from going from a non-exercise person to now, not wanting to miss. I got lucky. She not only understands what working out is all about, she helped me start from the very beginning, giving me encouragement all the way. I'm a tough client and she has made it fun, knowing when to give me that push of encouragement I definitely need. She takes being healthy very serious and enjoys what she does, greeting me always with a smile. Today during warm up, she approached me, setting my machine, wiping her sweat, obviously just finished her workout, I asked her if she had been swimming, she said you didn't know we have a pool out back and laughed. All the trainers definitely practice what they teach. What a great team... if you are like me, wanting to start an exercise program, Studio Fitness Heights is great and convenient. Keep up the great work everyone and glad you are in the Heights. I now have no excuse. Pros: If you live in the Heights, you have no excuse not to go. more

Great location and great gym! But even if there was no equipment, Jose would still give me the best workout of my life each time. I have known Jose since his training days at Bally's when he was just a member. He has come a long way from being a gym member, to a trainer, to a fitness manager and now his very own gym. He must be doing something right! I would recommend everyone to try him at least once. You will be glad you did. Pros: Experienced, professional and motivating Cons: They don't believe in the word ""Can't"" more

I have been training with Jose for several years. He helped me lose 70 lbs after my first pregnancy and get my figure back again after my second pregnancy. I am always motivated by the challenging workouts! It is never boring! I completed my first half-marathon under Jose's training and am looking forward to finishing the marathon next year. If you have a goal, Jose will help you reach it! Pros: great personal service, certified professional trainers Cons: none! more

Jose has been my personal trainer since 2005. He helped me get in shape for my wedding, stay fit during my pregnancy and recover my pre-baby body. He's a wonderful trainer who's managed to keep things fresh and fun for 5 years. His new studio is awesome with state of the art equipment and lots of cool things to challenge you in ways you can't when working out on your own. Check it out! Pros: Personal attention; great equipment; convenient location more

I have been training at Studio Fitness for about 4 months (with Jose and Alex) and have never been in such great shape. The workout is tailored to meet my needs and I am on track to achieve all of my fitness goals. I highly recommend SF for anyone interested in getting to the next level of fitness!! Pros: Best Fitness Studio in Houston more

I have trained with Jose Madrigal since 2006, at first to recover from knee surgery, and now to keep msyelf from being in worse shape. He tailors his work outs to challenge you with out being pushy, knowing exactly what is needed to help you reach your goals. If you don't have goals, he helps you set them. The gym is always clean, bright, and full of energy. Jose is someone you would want to train even after hitting your goals. If you have been meaning to hire a trainer, call Jose. You know you need to! Pros: Certified, Experienced, Friendly, Work outs for everyone Cons: Aboslutely NONE! more
