District H Strength & Fitness - The Heights — Attraction in Houston

At the start of November i made the decision to try and get back into shape. I am 57yo male who at 6'5 / 248 pounds was totally out of shape and rating myself a 1 on a fitness scale of 1 to 10 was generous. I opted for the 90 day program of nutritional coaching and a one on one personal trainer as after 90 days i would have an out if I did not the feel the value. Here are the results. Nutritional Coaching When I started I was easily drinking 2 liters of soda a day and with Tommy's incremental approach after 90 days I can't even stand the taste of diet coke anymore Likewise with fast food. I have reduced fast food from several times a week down to maybe once every 3 weeks. Giving I have an obsession with "Fried Chicken" this was a huge step forward for me. What impressed me the most perhaps was the willingness to help me identify the food's I enjoy and will eat compared to a lot of programs that force you into a box to the point you get tired of the food and just say "no way" and go back to things you enjoy.

Personal Trainer I can't tell you how much I loath taking an hour out of my day to go to a gym when my mind keeps telling me that I could be doing something more productive. I expressed this to Chris, my trainer, and was upfront that the way to keep me going was to keep my mind off the actual workout and thinking about other things. He took note of this and kept me from thinking how much i hate the gym. I mean how many other trainers are going to engage you in several conservations about "The Lord of the Rings' or "Harry Potter" just to keep your mind off a workout. My goal for having a personal trainer was not to develop muscle mass but to focus on my core and flexibility. Chris once again listened and instead of endless rounds of weights and 20 minutes stuck on a bicycle he designed a program that took into account how bad shape i was in and what my limits were. At then end my core was in better shape and my ability to move around was noticeable improved. The best thing though was Chris read my moods well and he paced each session to what I was willing to do and felt like doing. Had he been a typical trainer and barked 5 more 10 more etc. I would most likely have stopped going after the first several weeks.

End Results. I started at 248 pounds and am ending the 90 day program at 236 pound in spite of the all the holidays. This has been a sustainable weight loss and I expect to continue to lose weight with what I have learned. My ability to move around, bend, reach have vastly improved.

If you are looking to make an investment in your health and overall fitness District H, Tommy and Chris, are worth contacting and exploring as an option. The programs and sessions are designed with you in mind and not some cookie cutter / text book approach.

Should you do make the decision to give District H a try my best advice is to communicate with them what your triggers are, what will motivate / demotivate you etc. They will listen and design a program with you in...

I started working out at District H six months ago. As someone who has never worked out before I started with 1:1 strength training and have slowly added in group classes in addition to that.

People & Community Everyone at the gym is so welcoming and supportive of one another. I also love that in every class it's almost a 50/50 split of women vs. men. On Saturdays most people like to walk across the street after class for a coffee and hang out.

Overall amazing place, amazing community of people, and I would highly recommend it for anyone that is looking for a place that will suppor them in their fitness and...

I've been a member of District H since it opened in late 2012. This is not your run of the mill gym or business. The programming is stellar, both classic crossfit as well as "reboot" (e.g. more boot camp style) classes, and coaches cater to every age (I'm in my 50s) and ability level. Not only are you supported by the coaches, every member openly encourages every other. The management has always prioritized a strong sense of community and support. You may walk in a stranger looking for a new fitness routine, or as a drop-in from out of town, but you'll be warmly welcomed by coaches and members alike. We moved to Houston earlier the same year DHSF opened, and this group of people (from a wide and interesting range of professional backgrounds) has become our core group of friends. If you're looking for an amazing workout with thoughtful, individualized and professional coaching, and a place to which you actually look forward to working out, this is it. I have never loved working out the way I do now, nor have I ever been in as good shape. Come check it out, you will...
