I have been going to H-Town for a little over 6 months. A good friend of mine told me about this incredible gym. I remember dropping by for the first time and I automatically knew that this was going to be my new home. The people are very welcoming and friendly, and the coaches are always very detailed on what to expect during the workouts. In these past 6 months I have build better endurance and have gotten so much stronger. The structure and programming are by far my favorite. The gym also offers other classes apart from CrossFit to help you improve in any area that you wish to. I believe that the price is reasonable and worth every single penny.

I've been going to CrossFit H-Town for almost three years and could not be happier with my results. I initially joined to supplement my triathlon, 5k, and marathon races, but have learned to love H-Town and the community it's created. Additionally, I can say with confidence that CrossFit H-Town produces the best coaching staff. Some gyms have coaches who have CrossFit knowledge, but H-Town's coaches have the knowledge AND the ability to teach. They're fantastic and I know I'm in good hands each time I show up.

I was a member of CrossFit H-Town for a little over 3 years before I moved out of the area. H-Town goes above and beyond to meet all the needs of their members from a fitness standpoint with great programming and scaling options, two locations, Olympic Weightlifting and Endurance classes, and Open Gym sessions as well. The box is clean with great equipment that the staff is always cleaning and restocking. Put simply it is a great place to workout. What really separates H-Town though is the community. It is an incredibly supportive group of people with extensive staff that truly cares about their members. I recommend this box to anyone in the Houston area or for out of towers looking to get a workout in while on the road.

Love this place! I was curious about CrossFit, but also hesitant. I was 54 when I joined and had a bad shoulder. I wanted to workout hard, but not re-injure myself. The coaches here are excellent and really focus on form. They pushed me hard enough and when I needed to back off always showed me modifications to help me keep the momentum going. A year later, I am stronger and more fit than I've ever been in my life. Everyone from the owner, Theo, front office staff, all the coaches are great. Friendly and encouraging no matter what your fitness level. The people who come to the gym are great too and there are a number of social events throughout the year to help you get to know each other. Best fitness experience I've had - bar none. Definitely check out CrossFit H-Town.

While working in a neighboring building to the Silver St, location, I stumbled upon CrossFit H-Town. I was looking for a new type of workout. Something challenging, motivating, and most importantly, something that kept me interested enough to stick to it. What really convinced me to join CrossFit H-Town were the beginner classes the gym offers. In this class setting, the coach meticulously reviews the movements and provides additional personal attention. As a beginner and having never lifted a barbell, ever, I needed that personal attention to get the form of the movements correct to prevent an injury from occurring. I remember being a bit intimidated thinking, "what on earth did I get myself into", while watching flocks of people lift barbells and run long distances on the bike path, but once I took my first class, I couldn't have received a warmer welcome. The H-Town community is full of great coaches who are educated in what they teach, and as a bonus, fellow athletes and I quickly became friends. To cap it off, I have not only pushed myself to new limits at CrossFit H-Town, but I have grown much respect for the H-Town box and their coaches. My journey at CrossFit H-Town has also provided a tremendous boost in my health. I am stronger, and this year I took it a step further by beginning to eat clean and have lost 20+ pounds in a couple of months in doing so. If crossfit is something you're eager to try, but are hesitant or feel intimidated, I highly recommended that you at least just TRY it out, and CrossFit H-Town is a phenomenal place to begin that new journey.
