Dear Internet,

This place has been great! I've been going for about 4 months now and working with owner/operator David. As a beginner, I could not ask for a better experience. David worked with me on my somewhat difficult schedule and opens the doors early so that I can train. The gym is small but seems to have all the bases covered when it comes to equipment.

My goals coming in were to exercise (which I was not doing at all before) and improve my quality of life. I find myself now looking forward to my next session (I don't dread it!). As for quality of life, a lot of little aches and pains have gone away. I feel stronger and more confident, my posture has improved, and I just feel better overall.

David is very laid back, but he really knows his stuff. Every time I ask him a question thinking I'll get a simple answer, I'm blown away that he always comes up with something really well thought out and evidence based. He sticks to simple, tried and true methods and always has a reason behind each exercise. He also approaches things as a guide and teacher rather than a drill sergeant. I don't think I would have come back if he had been really intense! On the flip side, I know that he has mentioned working with clients who are in the military as well as some clients who lift competitively, so he is clearly able to adapt his style for a broad range of clients.

Overall, I have no regrets choosing this place. If you're looking for a local place that is comfortable and adaptable to a broad range of training needs I think you can find...

Joining this gym is one of my best decisions for personal training sessions before the pandemic starts, as the staff and other members are super cautious about it while I achieve my goal. The gym is also open-aired, which helps circulate the air.

I've been with the gym with Mark the owner as my trainer since the beginning. Mark is extremely knowledgeable and patient to help me lift weights in the proper form, giving me a good pump. So, over the years, I have seen some improvements in myself.

There is a wide variety of machines, weights, and other equipment in the gym for anyone to use. The gym consists of members, whose goals are to lose weight, make gains, or attend some competitions. Everything, as well as the environment, is very clean because they are consistently wiped down and cleaned. Also, all the staff as well as the members are super-friendly. They have one-on-one personal training, group training, and independent sessions. Their hours are also flexible. There are also virtual training sessions available, where I find them useful to lift at home or away from town with Mark online: they keep...

I wanted to start working with a personal trainer to increase my accountability and to push me to lift heavier than what I would do on my own. I found HAC through a Google location search and loved that it was really close to home. I have been training with David now for close to 5 months and have really enjoyed the gym atmosphere here, the programming and methodology David uses, and the communication style David uses to encourage me through my workouts. He's not a tough scary intimidating guy! He's laid back and very approachable but gets to the point. You pay him for an hour to workout and you'll be working out for that hour! The gym itself is kept really clean and organized and has a ton of different pieces of equipment to offer. Anything you'd need for a good workout you'll be able to find at HAC. If you're considering a good private gym to train at then you need to head over Houston Athletic Club to...
