Strength Performance Gym — Local services in Houston

Arien Ortega and Strength Performance Gym are game-changers. I started working with Arien nearly two years ago, and it's the best decision I could have made for my physical and mental health. When Arien opened Strength Performance, I immediately transferred with him, and I am so happy to be part of this gym community. I am someone who has always struggled with working out, with confidence, and with body image. Arien is the very best coach. He's kind, hilarious, challenging, supportive, and generous. He has changed my mindset about working out and about taking care of myself. And I have seen great results. I am stronger, and I feel better, and I look forward to my time at the gym. I never ever thought I would say something like that about working out. And it's all due to Arien's deep commitment to his work and his clients.

This gym is fantastic - easy to find, free parking, no hassles, and it's full of really kind, encouraging, fun people. The other trainers get to know you, Arien helps create a community atmosphere, and he plays really good music (mostly). Check out this gym, seriously....

I’ve known the owner for 10+ years and have been witness to his passion for fitness and genuine care for others meeting their goals. The establishment of his gym and the numerous clients he has attracted are testaments to his dedication to helping others achieve their fitness goals.

The gym has great music, the members are friendly, and the owner is very hospitable to all—creating an overall welcoming environment to everyday gym-goers and those who are just starting out.

The only drawback (but also unique aspect) that some may find is that the AC is intentionally turned off, but it’s actually a refreshing change. It encourages a more intense workout, making you feel like you've truly earned your results. To help accommodate to all, the owner has large fans that you can move to your area, and cold towels to refresh.

Overall, I encourage all to visit this gym at least once. You will find yourself looking forward to your workouts and won’t regret it.

Also, despite the owner having the tiniest legs you’ve ever seen, he’s always said no...

I’m a beginner when it comes to training and before this I was just doing some basic dumbbell workouts at home. But I decided I wanted to take it more seriously and get professional guidance. There’s a ton of information and options out there, but once I toured this gym, it just felt right. It’s not some huge commercial gym with all the usual downsides. It has a more focused, supportive atmosphere, and you can tell it’s built for real training.

I’ve been working with Arien, and I honestly can’t say enough good things. He knows how to push you without burning you out, and he gives constant feedback to make sure your form is on point. He doesn't just let you go through the motions as each session has a purpose, and he keeps you dialed in the whole time. I’ve already noticed gains in strength and endurance because of how he structures the workouts.

If you’re on the fence about getting a trainer or joining a gym, I’d definitely recommend stopping by and seeing it for yourself. It’s been a great...
