CrossFit H-Town

Awesome gym and great people. Everyone is so motivated in here it makes it more fun to come here.

My wife and I have been going here for nearly 3 years now and couldn’t be happier. The coaches and staff are all very cordial and helpful. We recently had our first child which makes it more difficult to get to the gym but their large number of class offerings has made it much easier. We also really enjoy the Olympic Weightlifting class that’s offered… it’s a nice break from the daily WOD and really allows you to work on your form. I highly recommend giving CrossFit H-​Town a look if you’re in the market for a new Box.

I was only a member for a month, but it was a damn good time! I joined a community for a month and was sad to leave it. Everyone was friendly and supportive, they made working out fun!
If you are looking for a crossfit box, you have to try this one because I promise that you will love it!

The set up here is amazing. The fans were spectacular, Space was ample. I participated in the South Texas Open this past saturday and CrossFit H-​Town really meet my expectations. Great place, great people, well and educated coaches!

What can I say? Ever since I was in college I wanted to try crossfit, and I finally did. I was a member of this box for, about, 5 months and I loved every day and minute of it. It’s like a small family and everyone there is willing to help you improve. I went in not being able to do any Olympic lifting & now I can manage without intimidation. The coaches are awesome and willing to help you out. Everyone here are professionals and understand how busy life can get. The H-​Town makes working out easy to apply to any schedule; all you have to do is show up and perform to your maximum.
I recently moved to Cypress, and I continued doing the commute to this box for the first two weeks of November; yes, it is that good of a gym. I’m sadden that I had to cancel membership, but it is not on my way home or work. If you live in the Sixth Ward area or near it, The H-​Town is worth trying out!!!

CrossFit H-​Town is LEGIT! They run a professional program, and their classes are super fun! If you’ve been thinking about trying CrossFit, this is the place to go. Super welcoming staff and a great, supportive community of members. You won’t be disappointed!

I love this place!!! The gym feels like a community of really awesome, fun, encouraging people. The work outs are hard, but definitely more fun and varied than most workouts. You will be surprised as how quickly and easily you get into shape and how your whole lifestyle starts changing. The people are so amazing and events are organized about once a month through the gym. When I moved to Houston I joined htown and I think it’s a major reason why I enjoyed houston so much. I met really great friends and got into the best shape I’ve ever been in.

Theo and the team have a great training facility. If you are serious about your health and fitness. This is the place you should be.
Highly recommended.

Htown– gym, what could I possibly say that hasn’t been said below! Theo, Carrie, and the rest of the gang at H-​town run the best box in Houston hands down. Having visited a few other boxes in town, out of state, and outside the country, I can definitely say they do a great job at keeping a positive community and pay very close attention to quality coaching. They do community events every month, have more than one location, run endurance and Olympic weightlifting classes (coached by EXPERTS, not just any coach. Seriously, check the website), and they even provide healthy meals if cooking isn’t your thing! They also have mobility and nutrition workshops that are a must.
My experience at this gym has been second to none. I came in 30 lbs (225) overweight, not being able to squat 200lbs, and ran 1 mile in over 8 minutes. 20 months later H-​town helped me cut all those lbs, put on another 60% on my squat and have been able to clock in a 5 min mile. Couldn’t be happier with my results here not to mention I have made good friends along the way. The only reason why I’m terminating my membership is because I’m moving out of state.
If you are on the fence about which box to choose in Houston, I highly recommend to book and info session with the team at Htown. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

As a fellow crossfitter and gym owner, I can really appreciate the unique qualities at H-​Town. I got to meet the owner, Theo and can see how this gym has grown and became recognized as a top CrossFit box in Houston. Energetic and quality coaches were engaging and motivating. I definitely look forward to getting a WOD in when I visit Houston again.
Bottom line: Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

There are a lot of Crossfit gyms out there. I believe there are possibly over 100 in the greater Houston area. I haven’t been to all the other ones in Houston, but I have been to several in California and the rest of the U.S. Crossfit H-​Town has very legit reasons to be proud of its facility, membership, and coaching.
Most crossfit gyms have the regular pull-​up bars, roll up garage, and physical set up. And so does H-​Town. The difference is, quite frankly, the community and the coaching. The quality of the community and coaching are set from the top. Theo has done a great job cultivating a very special place where people are friendly (even to visitors) and people are striving for and exhibiting good form in all movements, even if it means foregoing a few seconds or minutes. The classes are also geared to produce a supportive and safe environment with a max of 14 participants per class. There is also enough competition there if you want to rock it out! Perhaps the culture can be best summed up in the Facility Rules of which the first one is: «Leave your ego at the door. It’s likely to get a smack down if you don’t»
If I lived in Houston, I would definitely work out daily at Crossfit H-​Town. Because I live in California, I will definitely work out there when I visit. Great job, Theo! You guys raised the bar!

H-​Town Crossfit:
When you start out on a fitness journey you are usually nervous about many things. Will people judge me? Will I hurt myself? Am I capable of doing it? I am sure there are many more insecurities that come with working out but these were the main trepidations that I had when I started a program with H-​town Crossfit. Signing up was a breeze. The people at the front desk always know what they are doing. Any time I had questions about anything they never needed to double check they just knew how to answer any question that came their way. It’s very reassuring when the front desk doesn’t act as if it’s their first day.
On to the workout:
You get to schedule yourself into their very easy to use on a website called Wodify. It is your basic login username/​password set up. You can choose to sign up for 2/​3/​unlimited classes a week and you are able to reserve your spot in a class 3 days in advance. When you need to cancel a morning class make sure you do it before 10pm the day before the actual class. For the night classes, make sure to cancel at least an hour before the class. Break this rule and you will suffer a $ 10 charge. This ensures people don’t sign up for a class and not show up since there is a 12 person limitation for each class.
I will try to tell you my experience as unbiased as I can. My first workout was intense, I mean, I have literally never worked out like this. If you don’t know much about crossfit, the workouts are high intensity for shorter periods of time so it is perfect for people with a tight schedule. You start out with a warm up then you usually go into learning form while learning about the actual workout. My first day I saw stars and made sure I didn’t throw up. Not saying this will be every new persons experience but it was mine. The next two classes I got better and by the third class I had my endurance up.
Form:
Crossfit has you lifting, throwing, tossing, ect. You can really injure yourself if you don’t go to a place that is experienced, highly trained, and dedicated to your safety. I was petrified that I would rupture a disk or blow out some sort of body part. But there are many steps this place takes to ensure safety. They focus on form constantly. This does make you feel singled out at first but as you start getting the form right and you feel safer about your movements you will realize that it was worth it. They also have free Saturday classes that teach you about movement and they help with form as well as confidence in your workout. Also if you aren’t comfortable with any of the movements or you have concerns like knees, back, arms, ect there is always a scaled down movement to make that particular sensitivity safer.
I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A YEAR AND I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYONE GET HURT.
There will be a rare case where you get a scrape or a bruise but nothing along the lines of seriously injuring yourself.
Instructors:
I never had a problem with any of the instructors. All of them are so welcoming, warm, nice, and friendly. Judgment seems to be insecurity for most people when it comes to working out and I never felt that from any of the employees. The extent of judgment I was ever exposed to was being late for a workout or missing a workout. That’s it.
Owner:
Theo is the owner and if you can ever schedule a class with him I would highly recommend it. He is so passionate about his gym and makes sure everyone feels welcome. He does the workouts himself and his expertise in crossfit are extremely admirable.
Overall this place more deserving of 5 stars than any place I have reviewed so far. The equipment is clean, the instructors are more than qualified, the people are very welcoming. I looked forward to each workout, dreaded it whenever I was doing it, but very proud of myself after I finished. This place made me stronger and more confident with my fitness goals. If anyone wanted to try crossfit I would immediately suggest this place. You cannot find a better fitness place than H-​town.

This has been one of the best 2 years of my personal fitness growth and strength! I am so grateful to Theo for his vision at H-​Town and for hiring on such AMAZING COACHES! I wish I could continue my journey here, but I will be moving. The camaraderie at this box is unmatched. They will go out of their way to make you ‘one of the family’ so be sure to check them out!

Love my gym! If you’re not WOD’ing here, you should be! Great staff. Coach nick and coach carter get my «favorite» vote. Owners are awesome! Know you on a first name basis and are always around to help. They even email you back almost immediately?! When I can make it – which is not as often as I’d like – coach theo’s open gym is a fantastic classroom. He’s got a bank of knowledge and takes time to show you proper movements then stands over you to make corrections as you go. How many gyms have you been to where the coach shows you once and turns you loose with no idea of what you should be doing? Not here!

After moving to Houston and doing research on different CF’s, it didn’t take long to learn that H-​Town is the best. A wait-​list should tell you everything you need to know. People want to join this place because the members WANT to be there, the attitude is infectious and it results in awesome workouts.
The staff is grade A, the community is embracing, and there is constantly great competition. I’ve had classes with ages ranging from college kids to grandmas, so it isn’t hard to find someone to push you. If there is then leave it to a coach to get you going.
If you’re thinking about signing up, stop right now and make it happen!

I have been a member at H-​Town for a year now and wouldn’t consider crossfit training anywhere else. I discovered H-​Town through Unilocal reviews and was struck by more than one review citing the sense of community they felt at this «box». I could not agree more with that feeling. The classes are capped at 14 people and you will bond with your classmates through generous amounts of shared sweat and exhaustion. On more than one occasion I have struggled to finish a WoD and through the encouragement of my fellow «Townies» was able to crank it out to the finish.
The staff is very friendly and are all experienced instructors who will help you master all of the different exercises that make up a crossfit WoD. If you are brand new to crossfit (as I was) you will be very happy with the level of individual instruction you receive due to the capped class sizes. There’s a different workout every day and after a year of training at H-​Town I think I have only repeated one or two of the workouts.
Take the plunge and schedule an appointment. Don’t worry about some high pressure sales pitch at the end of your visit or introductory workout. The owners don’t do business that way and it was the lack of a sales pitch at the end of my introductory workout that convinced me to become a member. One year later I have never looked back and only look forward to the next challenging WoD.

Good energy. Good staff. I’ve gone about 25 times and no two workouts have been alike. Good variety. And they’re always harder than they look on paper. Good challenge. Plenty of space. Nice, clean equipment. The staff and fellow crossfitters are nice and down to earth. A wide variety of expertise.
I’d recommend.

There seem to be two broad camps of people when it comes to CrossFit: those who love it with a quasi-​religious fervor, and others who are concerned for the mental and physical well-​being of their friends or loved ones who now have what appears to be an unhealthy infatuation with doing ridiculous, intense workouts for «fun.»
I tend to fall more under column A. For a long time I tried to resist drinking the (100% paleo!) Kool-​Aid of the CrossFit cult, but I’ve since come to terms with the fact that I am now another committed acolyte bowing at the alter of the barbell. Terms like WOD, Snatch, PR and GHD are no longer foreign; and tall socks, Reebok/​Lulu-​everything, shirts that say «BACON,» and ripped hand callouses don’t seem strange anymore.
CrossFit H-​Town is a great facility with a skilled, knowledgeable, and engaging coaching staff. I trained there for four months when I was working downtown. The location was ideal (~10 minutes from my building’s parking garage), and spending an hour or so at H-​Town after work was far more productive than sitting with every other commuter in mind-​numbing Houston traffic at the peak of rush hour. There’s something deeply therapeutic about throwing every last drop of strength you have at a workout to cleanse your mind and body of a stressful workday.
Wodify, the gym-​management software they use at H-​Town, makes scheduling workouts and tracking progress very easy. And as a bonus for all the Type A, overachieving young professionals drawn to CrossFit, the program allows you to compare your performance with that of your gym-​mates, which stimulates that competitive drive to push yourself further than you otherwise may have gone.
Theo and the H-​Town team manage an exceptionally well-​run business. From the seamless daily operations to their superb client communication and support, H-​Town is at the top of their game. The constant accolades they’ve been getting in the press are well deserved. H-​Town CrossFit earns my highest of recommendations.

Call me biased because I’m a coach, but I love this place. Happy coaches = happy members. :) The owners, Theo & Carrie really care about the members and the coaches getting what they want fitness wise and in an overall lifestyle from being part of this fantastic community of genuine people. They invest a lot back into making the gym atmosphere cater to a more awesome environment to workout in constantly, (not just when something breaks). I’ve been a part of CroosFit H-​town for almost 2 years now, and I can’t imagine my life without this gym and amazing community of people. It would be quite dull and definitely not as healthy. What other Crossfit gym has a personal chef to make you delicious paleo meals for the week? It doesn’t get much better than that. P. S. I hear the Endurance workouts are to die for! ;)

I’ve been coming here for about 4 months now. I really like it here. It’s a bit expensive when you first go check out the prices but let me tell you… IT“S TOTALLY WORTH IT.
I have always wanted to get more «fit» but didn’t know what I was doing. I finally joined this place because my roommate made me but in the end it’s been life changing. The atmosphere is great and the instructors are all nice. They even have meal plans for you if you want to change your diet to slim down.
Try it at the very least. You won’t regret trying it. Or you might regret it because you’ll be so incredibly sore…
