I absolutely love The Core! Excellent equipment, always clean and never too crowded. I have a trainer, Brian, who is awesome but I'd workout here even without one.

I mark all the milestones in my life with gym i.d. I can tell you when I started college, (strength training as PE at TWU), continued college at Baylor (Ridgewood CC), moved to Houston, (Gold's Gym), living in EU, (Fitness First), and when I finally found my home- The Core. I believe I've finally found the gym that makes working and playing a pure pleasure. Everything one could ever want and more! More...

Excellent gym and staff. The equipment in the gym is in great condition and not at all outdated. The trainers they have at the gym are genuine and the other services offered are also top quality. By far one of Houston's hidden gems. More...

Absolutely the best gym in Houston if not the country. Equipment is top line, plenty of space, lots of TRX ropes, plus every type of ball, band, etc you could ever want or probably didn't know existed, but it's here.
The only negative is the lack of showers and dressing area for women. This is something that needs to be addressed.
Thank you! More...

I have belonged to gyms all over, every size and style, and this one is my favorite. Hardcore as it gets, and yet utterly unpretentious. David Ooi is my trainer, although all of the trainers are legit. I've lost 60 lbs and transformed my body in my 19 months going to The Core! More...

My first time not using a low budget gym and this one is amazing! Front desk staff is very attentive and helpful. Equipment is kept clean and all machines always in working order. Locker rooms are very clean and thoughtfully stocked with basic necessities. My kids enjoy the kids club and the staff. My trainer is amazing as well! Tony has listened to all of my concerns and tailored my workouts to my needs without pushing me past my limit. All around the best! More...

Great gym even if you don't use a trainer. The increased monthly cost is offset by not having any sign-up or cancellation fees. First gym I've been to that I was signed up within five minutes and without any 'sell'.

Facility is spotless, equipment is new, top of the line, and well maintained. Clientele are just normal people so no intimidation factor and always seems to be machines available. I haven't been bothered once to sign up with a trainer but the resources are readily available should I decide to do so. More...

This is a great place to workout!
I have a fitness professional, #Wayne Dale Ceasar, that has tailored sessions for me and my unique condition. Having chronic heart failure and a severe aortic aneurism has greatly reduced my endurance but these workouts keep my heart functioning at its maximum! I've been training with Wayne for years and there is no doubt that this has greatly slowed degeneration of my heart and allows me to engage in much more activities! Equipment at The Core can be adjusted for my needs as well as the need of a serious fitness fanatic! More...

I absolutely love the Core. I've been a member and trained at big box gyms like Lifetime and small fitness studios, and the Core offers almost all the amenities and comfort of large fitness centers with the enjoyable, crowd free and serious fitness member base and professionals. The trainers know what they're doing and are some of the best in the business, and the patrons come to seriously stay fit and engaged. The other wellness professionals at the Core is another amazing perk because you have access to advice and services for massage therapy, sports medicine, detoxification guidance, even chiropractic care. The Core is the perfect balance of what a fitness environment and experience should be. More...

I've come across a lot of gyms and gym owners in my time as a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. So when you meet someone who shares the passion and knowledge for health and wellness, you know you have found something unique. The owner of Core gym, Lee is just that; Passionate, driven and knowledgable about the fitness industry. With a drive to help trainers be the best they can be in order to help people of all ages and abilities, Lee is nothing short of thorough. Stop in, call or email to learn more about the Core and I'm sure you'll have the same experience! More...

I’ve been training at The Core for six months. I use to workout at the City Club before joining The Core. Cameron Nassiri has been my trainer for over ten years and continues to train members at The Core, many of which followed him over after the City Club closed.

I’ve been very pleased with the facilities and cleanliness at The Core. The equipment is plentiful, kept in good shape, and thoroughly covers the full spectrum for workouts and conditioning. The owner has always been courteous, helpful, and cares about the quality of his business. I would highly recommend The Core to anyone who values their time and effort to be as healthy as possible within an atmosphere conducive for complete fitness. More...

I consider this BEST GYM in Houston. I've been going to this gym for two years. All of the employees are professional and have a great energy. The gym itself is immaculate, with the amount of equipment at hand and it being 2 stories, it's an "Athletes Dream". I advise anyone who is serious about working out to come here. Even if you aren't paying a trainer. There is always someone there to help correct your form or answer any questions you have. More...

I have been a member of The Core Houston since September 2015 and could not be happier. The staff is phenomenal and go the extra mile to keep the facilities in tip top condition. As I can only speak for the women's locker room, I will say that I couldn't ask for anything more. The staff keeps it stocked with necessary essentials and a great blow-dryer for when you take a shower!The equipment is top of the line and you never have to wait for cardio equipment in peak hours. There is always a machine available be it upstairs or downstairs. My favorite part is that the gym has an open boxing room where anyone can go with multiple soft and heavy bags, a speed bag, and crazy bag. The trainers they have at the gym are all excellent and professional. Never do you feel that the staff or anyone here is trying to sell you something. The gym just has all the services you could ever desire, if you need them.Also, you are not forced into any kind of contract. You can pay month-by-month and cancel within a reasonable time, if needed. All in all you won't regret coming to this gym! More...
