CrossFit Memorial Houston — Local services in Houston

So I am completely out of shape and new to CrossFit. I have dipped my toes in other strengthening programs/home/gym in the past but never 'felt it was right' so I wanted to try something new. I looked up the closest CrossFit place to my house and found this one. I singed up for their entry level on-ramp program before visiting. During this process communication was fairly quick and very welcoming. Going to the gym or 'box' for the first on-ramp class, I found to place to be pretty cool and really large. It's situated in loading dock warehouse, very fitting for the CrossFit environment I had perceived. My On-ramp classes have been great. My coaches have been very good at understanding why I came for, (weight loss and body strengthening) what my goals are (A single unassisted pull-up) my current physical constraints (ankle injury and zero flexibility) and made adjustment to movements, workout and intensity so that I have been eased into the process while being pushed but not so hard that I could could not return for the next class. Motivation and encouragement from the coaches seem great and they have watched my form and made corrections as I learn. The Atmosphere is really unpretentious, friendly and encouraging. I like it. Ohh and they have a shower, which means I can actually go workout during lunches in the future - yay. 5 stars for newbie...

I've been a member for a year now and this is literally my second home.

I hesitantly joined this gym after just moving to the city, coincidentally right when they were moving into this new location. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the owner and coaches (Especially Summer!) They really do their all to make it feel like home. I was new-ish to crossfit when I started and I think both my technique and muscle definition has improved exponentially since then. If you have to bring your kids there is a little play room no additional charge, don't be surprised to see a coach carrying someone's baby around! My son is on the autism spectrum so he's not the easiest to adapt to new places and he honestly loves coming here when I do bring him. There's classes at all times 5 days a week ranging from 5 am, 9 am, 12, 4:30, 5:30 & 6:30 pm, one Saturday class at 8:30 am, and open gym on Sundays at 1 pm. Everyone is very friendly even if you're new to working out the coaches will help you modify the workout to suit your needs! If you're also switching from a regular gym membership to a crossfit gym be prepared to pay more but I personally think it's worth every penny for a welcoming gym family and guaranteed results.

I have been going to this CrossFit box for seven years and keep coming back year after year. I have met so many incredible people while being here and have experienced so many opportunities for growth, both physically and mentally. I’ve made some of my best friends at this gym and continue to meet fantastic friends and people all the time. The diversity at this gym is wide and vast. People of all ages, races, creeds, countries and orientation are members here and it makes the community so enriching and vibrant. I don’t live near this gym, but continue to make the drive every day because it’s my “home base”. Plus everyone gets ice cold eucalyptus or lavender scented (or unscented) towels after each WOD and the large refrigerator is always...
