This Gym is the best one in the Houston Area ! Excellent people , amazing instructors, small clases and great community. The combination of Calisthenics (form of fitness which utilizes gravity and bodyweight leverage to challenge your fitness level at your own pace ) and the Wim Hof method ( Ice baths ) are extremely helpful to boost your immune system. This place really helps you to keep your body and mind strong ! I am very happy I found this place and I strongly recommend everyone to try it !
I have really enjoyed my time at the gym! I love the classes and the fire and ice sessions.
As a calisthenics coach myself I must say, this place is amazing! Great instruction, safe yet challenging exercises, perfect for all skill levels, and a fun atmosphere. Way to go Mekanix!
Best place to workout. I hace been lifting weights for years and more recently cross-fit, but I got bored. This is something different. You can quantify the progress much better, have much less risk of injury and you can focus more on the proper form rather than completing the WOD as quick as possible. The environment is super friendly and fun.
Mekanix is a great place to workout and build both strength and skill. The reason is simple: Mekanix has a great pool of trainers! Their effort has resulted in raising the mindfulness of my body and fitness. Good job guys! I will definitely recommend this place!
Great place.
Very good instructors, they have time to show you how to do all moves to make sure you don't get injured. This workout is just the perfect way to get stronger.
This low impact gym is just the best I've never try. I really recommend it
Very effective workouts. You will see results if you show up consistently. The contrast therapy feels beneficial in both mental and physical aspects. As a bonus my tennis game improved due to the cohesive nature of calisthenics. I am happy that I decided to join here.

Love Mekanix! I have been going to Mekanix for about 6 months now. When I first started going I couldn't do a single pullup. Now I can consistently do 6. The instruction at this gym is top-notch. To some it may seem like it is on the pricey side, but I honestly believe every dollar is well-spent because you learn proper form/technique and also gain a great sense of community as well. I have gained so much coming here on a consistent basis and my friends/family have commented on the change in my physique since I started doing calisthenics. Shout out to Greg and Edgar for the great instruction!

I spent one month in Houston for work purposes. I'm used to practice Calisthenics in Italy and I was willing to find a place to workout at a very high level.
I found it. The facility is great, trainers really good and the friendly and positive environment is helping you to push harder. Quality training is really important in Calisthenics, and every trainer will help you fixing your techninque. Since I live in Europe, I have no chance to say how the membership cost is compared to the average US market. I won't have the chance to continue working out there, but if I'll ever come back to Houston I'll definitely come back to Mekanix :)
Mekanix is awesome! Great community of like-minded people who love to challenge themselves in all kinds of ways! From general health and fitness to specialized skills, Mekanix has got you covered! The coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable. If you're in Houston and haven't checked out Mekanix, you are definitely missing out. Justin is doing an incredible job with Mekanix! What are you waiting for?
Mekanix is such a great gym. Unique concept, quality and knowledgeable trainers. They offer guided training classes throughout the week and each challenges your skill, flexibility, strength and more regardless of where you fitness level is.
If you've never heard of calisthenics before, you need to give this gym a try! It's not like crossfit or other gyms that you may have tried in the past. Sign up for a free class and check it out for your self! I promise that you won't be disappointed.
I joined this gym about 5 weeks ago. I feel very lucky to have found this gym. I have found my people at this place. The members are friendly, the workouts are challenging and the instructors are caring and top notch. I have made noticeable improvements week after week and I look forward to my workouts. I appreciate that the instructors offer variations of the exercises. This enables you to complete the workout within your strength and skill level. This is a great gym to experience a great workout.
As far as I know, this is the only Calisthenics gym in Houston, and its pretty amazing. Workouts are fun, and coaches are very helpful. and Ice baths are fun too. Justin and Greg are especially really good, workouts are structured pretty well. Love going to the Burger joint with these guys once in a while.
Wow. What a workout! I went with coworkers, and Justin was great at challenging each of us based on our own levels of fitness. Not only did we focus on building strength, we also focused on improving mobility and breath - which are often overlooked - using functional exercises and body weight. Regardless of anyone's existing workouts, everyone can learn something from Justin that they can incorporate into their routines.
This is a unique gym with fantastic trainers who take a holistic approach to fitness and overall health. Not to be confused with Crossfit, the primary training format is rooted in a variety of calisthenics protocols that anyone can step into if they want to learn to grow strong, flexible and mobile using only their bodyweight and a few basic tools that have been around since the dawn of civilization (bars, ropes and rings). They offer guided training throughout the week typically structured as routines focused on Push/ Pull / Leg movements, and they provide additional sessions focused on breathing, flexibility, and recovery. If you want to learn how to dial-in in that perfect straight handstand, Jimmy offers a class at noon on Sundays to do just that for you. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Mekanix and I highly recommend anyone to try it out for themselves accordingly.
Awesome gym in the city. Challenging no matter what level you're at, always feel accomplished after leaving a session.
HOUSTON FINALLY HAS A CALISTHENICS GYM! Mekanix was founded in 2017 as Houston's only gym focusing on calisthenics and bodyweight training. Have you seen those crazy street workouts on YouTube showcasing superhuman strength? If not, search up "BarStarzz," "Thenx," or "Calisthenic Movement" on YouTube to see what the human body is capable of.
If you're looking for an intensity level between yoga and Crossfit, calisthenics is your best bet. Yoga focuses a lot on pushing, but it completely lacks any pulling. Crossfit focuses on all muscles groups, but it's so intense, it may injure you over time with its fast-paced movements and heavy weights. Calisthenics is the happy in-between, and it's something you can do for the rest of your life injury-free! It can give you the physique you want, the strength you desire, and it gives you the knowledge to be able to train anywhere with zero equipment.
I started training at Mekanix in April 2018. I initially signed up for a 1-week membership for $25 to get a good feel for what the gym could offer me. After speaking with their head trainer, Gregory Scott, he informed me the training schedule works as follows:
Monday - Pushing
Tuesday - Pulling
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Pushing
Friday - Pulling
Saturday - Legs
Sunday - Recovery
The classes are set up in group exercises like a yoga or a Crossfit class. Every class I have gone to has been a small, intimate group ranging from 3-8 people total. This makes it easy to get one-on-one instruction from the teacher if needed. Class times vary each day, so the best way to keep track of the schedule is by downloading the MINDBODY® application to your phone.
Group training classes typically start out with some light stretching and a warm-up. Depending on the workout, the classes can be held inside or outside utilizing their incredible rig setups (pull-up/dip bars and gymnastic rings) or nothing at all (circuit exercises working many variations of push-ups and other mobility exercises). There is other equipment used as well including parallettes, medicine balls, PVC pipe, plyometric boxes, and rubber bands.
On Sunday, Mekanix's recovery day, they provide a handstand workshop (put together by handstand master, Jimmy Tran), a flexibility class, a breathwork class, and even contrast therapy. If you never heard of contrast therapy, this is where you consecutively expose your body to cold and heat repeatedly. At Mekanix, they provide ice baths at close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a dry sauna at close to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. I have tried this 3 times already with a lot of skepticism, but I can honestly say that my muscle soreness has vanished overnight with this therapy.
I have been consistently going to Mekanix for a few weeks now, and I have definitely seen a major increase in strength and mobility. Gregory Scott is an ultimate calisthenics master, and it's been an absolute pleasure learning the movements from him. I have now signed up for a monthly membership, and I am very happy with my decision. If you're currently looking for a new athletic challenge, do yourself a favor, and sign yourself up. You will NOT be disappointed.

After years of frequenting a typical big box gym, I had been tossing around the idea of mixing up my exercise routine with something new and different. So when a friend mentioned Mekanix and their unique body-weight training with calisthenics , I perked up... and a few days later, signed up. The class was engaging, challenging, and at times, flat out exhausting. It was clear that I was working my body in ways that I never had before. I also appreciated that equipment was new and that the facility was clean and well-maintained. And a big shout out to our instructor, Candice, for explaining each exercise so well, keeping us moving through them at a quick pace and for encouraging us to push our limits by squeezing out that last rep or two. I highly recommend.
I workout at my own gym three times a week, so I think I'm fit, and I decided to try Mekanix because I like the idea of a workout focused on using body weight instead of barbells, etc.
After I left your gym at 7 AM (yes AM) yesterday I was thinking "That was a fun workout, but it didn't really wear me out..." Later in the day, however, I was feeling a tiny twinge or two in my hamstrings and reassessed, thinking, "I guess the workout used my legs in ways I didn't notice." By the time I went to bed, I had forgotten the pain in my fog of sleepiness from getting up for the 6 AM class. In fact, all I was thinking was, "I sure woke up early today. I'm bushed." Then... morning arrived. Aaagh! But it is a GOOD pain. :) Whenever I stand up or sit down i feel part of my quads and part of my hams. Ouch!!! It makes me smile every time even though I'm sure I look old and crippled.
The instructor was encouraging and fun and I felt real camaraderie with the other victims, er, participants, in the class. He pushed us, but in a very positive way. So. It wasn't just a good workout. It was a GREAT workout.
I went to open gym hours today and had a blast! Met the owner and several instructors who were all very knowledgable and welcoming. I'm looking forward to trying my first actual class!
Been going here about a month and love the workouts. They're challenging and creative, and the just fun. I recommend this for anyone looking to take their workouts to the next level.
I have been attending the calisthenics classes for a month and I couldn't be more happy! The classes are amazing and the best part; you can noticed in your body how you get stronger and with more energy than usual. The teachers are very helpful too. I can't wait to get my 1% better in every class.
This place is great. Their workouts are an excellent mix of strength and conditioning. Ever since I was diagnosed with arthritis in the hips I have been looking for a way to replace running. Calisthenics fits the bill perfectly. The instructors were quick to tune the workout to my individual needs. The team environment is very helpful as well in motivating me to push myself a bit further each time.
One big thing that I personally like about this calisthenics gym vs a CrossFit environment is that it focuses on doing exercises with the right form and with body weight.
There is no other gym I would rather train at. Body weight programs are the way forward. I've been training here since its inception; professional instruction, clean modern amenities, and great positive environment with support, guidance and encouragement. I highly recommend giving this place a tray. Be warned though, the work outs are no joke! They are structured and you cannot get away with cheating. You will definitely see improvements immediately.
Mekanix is an awesome gym! I worked out with Greg and he is so inspiring! Not only is he in insane shape and can do some intense calisthenics moves (that I've never seen anywhere else), but he is a great teacher. He tailors the workouts to the level of the students. I've never done calisthenics before, but he designed a class that met my fitness and skill needs.
The gym itself is awesome, it's a former car mechanic turned into a sweet gym. I'm a fitness freak and love these workouts - highly recommend to anyone that wants to get in incredible shape and have fun doing it!
I attended a Saturday morning one hour workout and WOW!!! Talk about a full body workout! The following two days I was sore just about all over which let me know that they definitely hit every body part. Their fitness trainer/instructor, Greg, definitely knows fitness. Very knowledgeable and passionate and it shows. If you live in the area, don't hesitate to join if you are ready to get and stay in shape! You will also meet some very great like-minded people too!
I found this place on Google map and inquired about it online. Spoke with Justin who told me to come check it out so I did. Now before going here all I did was lift weights and run. But this here is something new to me. A whole different type of physical training that does challenge me and pushes me to my limits. Greg is an amazing instructor and everyone there genuinely cares about bettering themselves. If you're doing something wrong they will correct you. If it looks too easy there is ALWAYS a more challenging way to do it. After my first session I was hurting all over but it was that good kind of hurt! I feel like this is what I've been missing. It's the kind of work out that makes you put it all together. Your body will learn to work as one. No isolation of one muscle but everything working as one! I look forward to my journey with these guys at this gym. Thank you guys for opening my eyes! This stuff is AMAZING!
