AFP is my happy place!! I highly recommend this gym and here's a wee story below on my 6 month journey.
Having been active all my life, setbacks with knee surgery and emigrating to USA in 2018, I found myself making up excuses not to exercise and at the same time enjoying the delicious cuisine Houston has to offer. Aswell as lack of motivation and poor mental health I started to put on lbs peaking at 185lbs which was a shock having always been lean through playing soccer.
I struggle with motivation going to a gym and to be honest don't feel confident in what exercises I should be doing and how to do them properly. I found AFP, who offered kick boxing and boot camp fitness classes. I knew instantly from my first trail class that this was for me.
Not only were the coaches welcoming, there is a real sense of family among the members. There is encouragement and smiles (alot of painful ones) to keep you moving through the exercises. I started a complete novice in both kickboxing and weight training but with the expert coaching to ensure the exercises are performed correctly to maximize gains and reduce injury, I started to feel progress.
Gyms can be intimidating places but everyone does the workout at their own pace that there is no competition with others rather it's a competitive battle with yourself to keep pushing through.
I am feeling fitter and stronger than I have ever been before and have been encouraged by the slow changes that are becoming visible with my body. I have lost 11lbs to date, 2 inches from my waist and starting to gain muscle. Plus more importantly my mental health has improved significantly by reducing my stress levels, improving my sleep and overall mood. Plus let's not forget who does not love the rush of endorphins.
AFP is always accommodating with modifying exercises to help with injuries and abilities. Even during the pandemic AFP were quick to react and providing group zoom classes at various times to keep us active.
David, Evelyn and Brandon are fantastic coaches providing a unique class everytime and I always look forward to them. I highly recommend AFP to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey.

Read moreI have been a member of AFP Fitness for a year now, shortly after I was assigned to the US, and I am thrilled with the experience. Joining AFP Fitness was one of the best decisions I made after moving here, as it has helped me offset the weight gains that come with the delicious but calorie-loaded nutrition options in the US. The coaches at AFP Fitness are excellent and have designed great workouts that have helped me achieve my fitness goals pushing me to the next level. They are always available to provide guidance and support, and their expertise has enabled me to work out safely and effectively. What I appreciate most about AFP Fitness is the community. Everyone is friendly and supportive, and I have had the pleasure of meeting so many nice and funny people through the classes and events. The positive atmosphere that AFP Fitness creates makes me look forward to every workout. Overall, I highly recommend AFP Fitness to anyone looking for a great fitness experience in Houston. It has helped me improve my health and fitness and has made my transition to the US much smoother. Thank you, AFP Fitness, for all...
Read moreMy husband and I have been working out at AFP for 9 months now and we love it!! The coaches are great and the atmosphere is so positive and fun. Boxing, kickboxing, full-body and TRX. Other reviews have said it and its true, you will get addicted to this place. I actually enjoy going to the gym now and have seen a huge difference in my body.
Pros: friendly/inviting gym atmosphere (if you’re new, a member will most likely come up and introduce themselves to you) good price point unlimited classes knowledgeable coaches (they will challenge you, but they will also modify for you if necessary - safety and form are important to them) coaches will encourage you and celebrate your gains constantly changing up workouts (it’s never boring, David WILL make sure you’re sore the next day lol)
Cons: I...
