Timberline is a top-notch gym. The trainers are all very personable. They are great at motivating and figuring out what goals you are trying to accomplish. The environment is non-...

All reviews seem positive

all fitness levels and dogs welcome 11/12/2009

clearly, by the amount of personal testimony this is a beloved gym. after years of bouncing around houston's gyms (bally's, fit, ymca) i found my gym that is my home away from home to work out at timberline. there are so many great things about timberline, i will try to capture many of them here: 1. the people- the staff can work with any fitness level and is supportive and helpful to all. plus they're FUN and they make working out fun. 2. the clients- some of the nicest people. that said, do not feel that this is social club. if you want to come and workout and go on with your day-that's cool just expect lots of people to smile at you, including your fellow workout company. 3. dogs-they have really nice kennels in the parking lot if you hate to leave your dog cooped up inside while you run off to the gym you can bring fido! plus, some of the trainers bring their dogs to the gym from time to time and it always makes my day to see a 4 legged friend at the gym. 4. variety- there is SO much to do here. you have the choice to work out on your own, with a personal trainer, with a personal trainer in a small group or in class. then, the equipment is crazy varied-want to box? cool. like those kettle bells-they got 'em. ride a stationary bike-you'll bowled over by the crazy bikes they have (go see 'em!), aerobic equipment, weights, and more. then the trainers are great and keep workouts varied so you're guaranteed to not get bored. finally the classes- check the website and you'll see what i'm talking about. but for those of you that get bored easily -well, you won't have that excuse at timberline. Pros: friendly people (staff & clients), variety and awesome dogs more

Best Gym & Personal Trainers in Houston! 11/12/2009

I have been a member of Timberline for over two years. After just my second time there, they were greeting me by my name. Timberline feels like a family - complete with holiday parties and friendly competitions. The personal trainers are great - I highly recommend April, with whom I have been regularly training since I joined. At Timberline, there are none of the hassles that are inevitable at larger gyms: lockers, membership cards, lines at machines, parking problems, annoying service fees, rude people, etc. The people are friendly - including the members - and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. I actually look forward to going to the gym! Pros: Personal Training, No Membership Cards, Relaxed Atmosphere Cons: Limited Weekend Hours more

Best gym in town, hands down 11/12/2009

Timberline's got to be the best gym I've ever been at. No matter what your physical goal is, they'll help you achieve it. Their personal trainers are incredibly nice and really know what's best for you. They also have the newest machines for everything, and they take good care of them; the facilities are very clean all the time. They also have very interesting classes such as Boxing or specific abs work out. Last but not least: the location. The gym is located in the Museum District (Montrose), next to Saint Thomas University. It is probably the most quiet and greenest area in Houston, so I can't think of a better place to run a gym. Have fun and get fit at Timberline! Pros: Everyone's really friendly and helps you out more

No doubt the best gym in Texas 11/5/2009

Most of the work going on here is with the guidence of personal trainers, all of whom have professional certification and are true professionals. This gym is the complete opisite of the sign them up after Christmas and everone is gone by February. I have been going to this gym for the last 5 years, and will be here as long as I live in Houston.\r Basicly this is a great place with outstanding staff and ownership. Pros: Friendly, no drama, supportive. more

Going Back - The best way to get your heath and fitness back on track. 5/20/2008

Timberline is absolutely, hands down the best place I have ever worked out at. I had put exercise too far down on my to do list while in college. Once I graduated, I tried to get back into exercising but just couldn't keep it going. I attended one of Jeff's Boot Camps and rediscovered what I loved about working out. I thought that I wouldn't want to work out in a gym but in my Boot Camp group I have fun, laugh, and am motivated by the other cadets (boot campers). I have kept with it for over a year and find myself exercising on my own in addition to attending boot camp twice a week. What I do in Boot Camp; I would never do on my own which is why I know I need it :) \r \r An incredibly talented and supportive group of trainers, varieties of exercise, and a great ambiance; no wonder I always look forward to going there. \r \r Thank you Timberline and thank you JEFF!!!\r more

Best gym ever (or should I say Fitness Studio as it so much more than a gym)! 5/20/2008

Like many others, I had been unable to maintain a workout schedule on my own. Jeff is a great trainer (I never before considered having a personal trainer...) who keeps me motivated, is always curious about any recent activities that affects my workouts, and is very concerned about me achieving the objectives we set out, like strecthing and flexability. My results have been remarkable, and only getting better and better. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, all the trainers know you. In short it is a very condusive atmospher for success! Pros: location, location, location! Ample parking too! more

The best gym in town!! 5/16/2008

So, let me tell you about myself...I NEVER was able to stick to a workout no matter what gym I went to. I have been working with a personal trainer at Timberline for more than a year now. Timberline is my extended family and I look forward to seeing everyone there each time I go there! My Timberline family has brought a revolution to the way I look at workout and healthy eating. Everyone knows each other by first name, and we are all laughing and enjoying every minute we are there. I would recommend anyone to come and check out the best excercising atmosphere in Houston!!! more

Best gym in Houston 5/16/2008

If you're serious about your workout this is the place to go. I joined last November and immediately started working out with one of Timberline's trainer's -- Karen Peden (""KP""). KP is awesome -- every workout is different. She changes it up every time, so you're challenged at every workout. She combines cardio with the weights, so you're really getting your heart rate up. It has really motivated me to work out again. The gym also offers classes (free to members) that are also great workouts. They're all small -- sometimes its just a couple of people -- and you get a great pilates workout. All in all, this is a great place to work out -- \r Pros: Personal trainers, size of gym, friendly members and staff Cons: nothing more

most personally EMPOWERING gym around 5/15/2008

Monday or Friday-it doesnt matter which day\r Do I want to workout?-of course NOT-NO WAY\r She pushes, she prods-way beyond my idea of play\r She wants me to Want to be fit-not me.NO WAY\r She's DEMANDING,ENCOURAGING,EMPOWERING in so many ways\r Monday or Friday wouln't be perfect.without my trainer. PJ.\r Thank you,Pat and Timberline\r \r \r more

Best personal trainers hands down 5/13/2008

Easily the single best workout experience in Houston. All of the staff are very friendly and it feels a bit like Cheers, everyone knows your name. The facilities are excellent but the main reason to go is the personal trainers. These people know their stuff. Be forewarned, if Wooch says, ""it will change the dynamic a bit"" you are about to be in for a serious workout. Definitely 2 thumbs up! Pros: Trainers know their stuff and push you to do more more

Best Trainer in Houston!!! 5/13/2008

Timberline is home to the best trainer in Houston, Wooch!! Wooch is very knowledgeable and innovative in his workouts; you'll never feel more motivated then when you are working out with Wooch. I have worked out at Timberline for over two years and will never go anywhere else. It?s a friendly and relaxed environment to work out in. Everyone should try Timberline, it?s the best!!!! more

Exceptional gym! 5/11/2008

I can't say enough postive things about Timberline -- the location, the people, the atmosphere, the facility, are ALL top-notch. Best of all, is the feeling you get after working out there. Not only do you get an amazing workout and personal attention, you feel like you are part of a family. You may go there to see one trainer, but they ALL will know your name. After being away for a while, I still miss it and I miss the people and I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend this gym and their trainers for anyone looking for THE best workout ever -- physically and mentally. Pros: The people and facility Cons: Not being able to go every day more

The Best - Professional, Personal, & Positive 5/10/2008

I have been to many many gyms and Timberline has the perfect combination of truly committed professional traininers, equipment, and attitude. This place rocks with clients from young to senior. This is a good supportive place to work out and I definately recomend Timberline. Pros: great trainers, facility, and equipment more

Best Pilates classes in town! 5/10/2008

Small class with the best in personalized coaching -- from the beginner to the advanced athelete. Mima is a gifted teacher and an inspiration. I saw results in two weeks (and I was an overweight couch potato who had not exercised in too many years to count). I could walk and stand in high heels for the first time in over 10 years. I could sit and stand up straight. When I went to mass today, I could kneel with no discomfort. I feel like a new woman. Mima made me feel welcome and capable. And it turns out she was right -- I just moved to Level 2! more

great people, best Pilates, convenient schedules 5/8/2008

Great people, best Pilates, convenient schedules.\r Relax environment, state-of-the-art equipment.\r Decently priced.\r Pros: plenty of parking around more

Outstanding Personal Attention 5/8/2008

Have you ever been to a chain gym and were afraid to have a conversation with one of their professionals about your workout because they will instantly give you a sales pitch? Well, you will never feel that way at Timberline. Their staff is truly passionate about helping people achieve their peak athletic performance. You can actually get to know their friendly staff before you consider a private trainer. Each staff member has distinct athletic expertise and major interests, so you will definitely find a personal trainer whom you can bond and build a wonderful, motivational relationship with. What is best is that they are not afraid to step out of the box and take your workout to a new level. All day you will be looking forward to getting to gym. If personal training is not for you, check out their group classes. Pilates classes were the one for me. Absolutely amazing results, and so much fun! It is one of the best workout experiences to be in small, yet challenging class with such friendly people. It certainly makes a great end to my long days in school and the office! Thanks for everything Timberline. You really helped me recover my health, and made me look great as a bonus! Pros: Staff, ambiance, cleanliness - CLEAN BATHROOMS AND EQUIPMENT Cons: Only sell drinks, no energy/protein bars. Equipment not latest and greatest but clean and functional. more

trainers to look forward to every week! 5/8/2008

Timberline really acknowledges different fitness levels and accomodates all kinds of people. I have been working with a trainer (pat J) who is amazing--she is thoughtful, smart and empathetic. I have never worked out so hard and felt such a sense of satisfaction at the same time. If you want to become a fit grandparent work with Pat Johnson at Timberline. I look forward to every session. Pros: great neighborhood gym more

Push you to your limits!! 5/7/2008

I started at Timberline when it first opened. I liked it so much, I even worked there for a while, until I relocated out of the country. On my return to Houston, and by chance running passed the gym to see if it had changed, I was impressed that it was the same and 10 TIMES BETTER!!! Dean and all the trainers motivate, encourage, have smiles on their faces, while at the same time pushing you to your limits, as hard as you choose and are aiming to achieve. If you have a goal, they will do everything they can to get you there!! Also, they are increadibly flexible with their training sessions, memberships and the various classes allows for trying something you always wanted to do, like boxing. I recommend Timberline to all!! I have never found a gym as nice, clean, pleasant and looking forward to my next session!!! more
