I hadn't lifted weights in about 6 years, and I started looking for gyms close by. I live in the greater east end, and it seemed like every time I did a search it was 24 hour fitness, or one of a million cross fit gyms. One of the lone real gyms that popped up with Be Fit Gym. I read reviews, I looked at videos, I looked at pictures, and I decided to let the fact that they didn't have AC or heat not deter me. The aesthetic of the gym is gritty. It's a big warehouse with all the equipment you need. And they play loud music that would never be heard in a gym like LA fitness or 24 hour fitness. So, one day, I drove up, and even half expected it to be full of pissed off looking muscle heads who would eyeball anyone new that showed up. What I found was, a staff that was super friendly and no where near pretentious. The people working out were serious about lifting, but not jerky body builder types. It was summer and the gym had all the doors open and huge fans blowing, and there was a constant breeze. Rap music and techno, was playing from huge speakers, loud enough to replace your headphones, but not loud enough to intrude into any conversation. The clientele seemed upscale but down to earth at the same time. So, I and a friend who went with me, decided to join. Over the 5 months that I've worked out there, I noticed a few surprising things. The owners actually remember your name. This place is their passion. One day Edgar, the owner walked on a treadmill next to me, and we just chatted for 30 minutes about the gym, where he came from, how excited he is about it, and some of his future plans. People smile, wave, and even have conversations with you, but at the same time, they don't intrude. With all the music, the warehouse feel, the graffiti on the wall, and the concrete floors, this gym makes you feel like you're not faking anything. You feel stronger, and more motivated and even elevated compared to people who go to the big box gyms. And with all of that, you develop this sense of simply wanting to be there. It becomes less about forcing yourself to get that work out in, and more about wanting to go to a place that lets you escape and lets you see people you like, and lets you work on yourself. There is a level of seriousness at this gym that serves to motivate without being competitive. Because in the end, really all there is to compete with is yourself, and this gym creates the perfect atmosphere for that.

A workout haven for fitness enthusiasts! This locally owned gym has become my sanctuary for all things fitness while here in Houston. A respectable playground of equipment that caters to every exercise style, their inventory is vast and reasonably well-maintained. The gym's unique trifecta of climate options - refreshing air conditioning, invigorating open air, or the empowering challenge of the outdoors - lets me customize my workout experience each day. The atmosphere is lively, charged by a soundtrack of motivating beats that always seems to hit the right note for pushing my limits. Price-wise, the value on offer is simply unmatched. The gym's clientele is diverse and committed, providing a great environment to focus yet see a friendly smile. A positive, focused vibe fills the space, making every session enjoyable. However, there's a bit of room for improvement. The lack of towels and combo lockers is a downside and the bathroom amenities could use an upgrade. Despite these minor hiccups, I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone within a 15-minute radius seeking a dynamic and fulfilling workout experience. With the awesome vibes and excellent resources, it's a definite 4 out of 5 stars in my book. Happy training!

I live on the same street as the previous commenter and would have to disagree with the music and the cooperativeness of the management at the gym. I'm in the gym everyday when I'm in town and they are constantly adjusting the music for their neighbors. It's definitely nice to walk across the street to your gym and it's even better that Everyone knows your name when you walk in. It's such a different vibe coming from 24hr fitness, this place gets and keeps you motived to push out those last reps. They have a side yard with some tires and plenty of room to do some outdoor exercises. The eado area is transforming daily and this gym is definitely in line with what is up to come for this area. It's definitely a younger and more active community that is slowly growing. So I would have to say if the music is too loud now, eado is only going to get louder!

This gym is a GEM, tucked in the heart of Houston. It’s very close to the downtown area and I can always catch any highway and make my way here. The staff is awesome as they are very kind folks. They keep the gym neat and supply all guest with towels that can be used for personal hygiene. I have had great interaction with many other members in my 2 months here. This gym attracts and facilitates a great culture when it comes to members. lastly I want to say that what attracted me the most was the versatility of the gym equipment. I like to hit cables, free weights and monkey bars (calisthenics). They have lots of leg weight racks which is hard to find at commercial gyms. For example Be fit Gym has about 7 squat racks as compared to the 3 at my old 24hr fitness. love it here.

So, I attended this gym in the summer. It went well during most of my time there. As far as what was accomedated for a gym was good to go. However, being someone who was going to a gym to loose weight primarily I didn't recieve a completely positive expierience. One day after being at this gym for two hours, sweating like crazy. The manager gave a negative comment regarding my weight. It was very innapropriate as that individual/ The Manager didn't understand my journey.He also said it out loud in public. I would've expected something encouraging.Since, usual coaches/health leaders are trying to make a difference in other peoples lives. I am not attending this gym again nor will I support someone who is selective and mediocre as far as being a great change.

great selection of workout equipment. i never have trouble finding a parking spot or locker. i appreciate the lack of contracts and hidden fees. and i am happy to support a local gym rather than a corporate chain. the music is just too loud and usually terrible with an unhealthy message. please play better music just loud enough to drown out peoples grunts and we can listen to our own music in headphones. i will also say that the lighting would be better if the lights were inset and softer so they don’t blind you if you’re doing an exercise on your back. anyway i changed my review from four to five stars bc there’s no major complaints, and they are a great small business that is servicing the eado community well.

The owner/main dude Edgar parks his truck in the front spot everyday. He auto-charged my card for the month of April, despite being closed for the entire month due to COVID, and, after a long conversation, wouldn't refund it. I had to refute the charge through my bank. I expect loud music at a gym, but it's a bit extreme here. It doesn't make a ton of sense when everybody has their own earbuds in, anyway. The facility itself is fine. It's a no-frills (in a good way) warehouse with different machines, but the majority of people wait in line for the few squat racks / one power cage they have. If you do anything other than machine lifts, you'll probably have to wait.

A great gym for any goal and any body type. Every one keeps to themselves unless you need a spotter or motivation - it's a very positive team atmosphere. Lots of equipment variety not just basic weights and cardio machines. There is no AC but tons of fans to help you sweat and work! The price is super reasonable for everything you get and they even offer classes and personal training. Usually during the week they play fantastic music so I don't even need headphones. They are open till 9pm so you have plenty of time to go after work. Being close to EaDo is nice if you want to walk to a fun spot after your workout. I love being a member here!

This place is nothing more than amazing, I have been a member for about three years now. To begin owners and staff are friendly and welcoming you’ll feel like family just from your first visit. There’s great music always playing, the equipment is always ready to use depending on the day. What make Befit different from any other gym are the members that go there. No matter if it’s your first or millionth time going the members here will always motivate one another. If you’re in the need to get an insane work out and in the area or even visiting I wholeheartedly suggest you come to befit you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome gym with lots of equipment! The atmosphere of Be Fit is one of a kind. People of all body shapes and sizes are there sweating and working hard to improve themselves. I remember prior to Be Fit opening - the owner, Edgar, was telling me about his vision for the gym. He wanted Be Fit to be a place where people come in to work hard, slam the weight stacks/weights, yell if needed, and overall just be more energized. After a few years of seeing this place from the beginning to what it is today, I can say with certainty that Edgar has executed his vision for the place perfectly!

Loved working out here. I came at around 715am and was able to get a squat rack, bench, or deadlift platform every time. Great variety of equipment. Very cheap and no sketchy contracts or other normal gym BS. I actually like the lack of AC, and in the morning it isn't bad, atleast in July. Cons: bring your own towels! These aren't provided and you will sweat. Also, the music can be a little too loud sometimes. I like most music but someone put on dub step and that was distracting. Would wholeheartedly recommend this gym to those looking to get in and out and live in or near Eado.

Joined this gym about a month ago when I moved to downtown and it's awesome! It has every machine you need and dumbbells up to 150lbs. The owner, Edgar, makes it a point to come say hey to everyone who walks in the door which gives it a mom-and-pops feel with the equipment of a big box gym. There's enough weights and machines that you don't have to wait for anything and the people are all kinds of friendly. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants a local gym and wants to be treated like a valued customer, not just another face at a 24 Hour Fitness

This place is home for me. I hate travelling because I have to use some manufactured gym with no personality. This place you come to get your hands dirty and get work done(literally). I get in and out because it is an environment that encourages you to work your tail off. If you are going to a gym to not sweat, or to lounge in a bathroom and take selfies, this is not for you. But if you want a group of people that motivate you, along with all the training equipment you can think of, go here. I'd go here to train like a Rocky movie. Feel the elements.

I was in town for work and needed a place to get in early, I arrived right at 5am and the staff met me with a smile and made it EXTREMELY easy for me to get started, in fact they allowed me to get started and handled the payment while I began my workout, they then brought me my card back when they were done. It was a great customer experience. The gym is fantastic, I wish we had one where I live. It had everything you could want and was a very comfortable environment. Next time I’m in Houston I’l be seeking this gym out.

This is a great gym. I love that there is an option to work out in the non ac room and also in the AC room. I feel like working out in the non-ac room helps my muscles be warmed up faster to prevent injury. The music here is super motivating for a workout and I like how loud it is. They have plenty of equipment so don't have to wait around much for open equipment. If I had one criticism I would say that they should do a better job in keeping the bathroom clean. Great value for the money and a great local gym!

Really good gym! Great vibe and people just mind their own business, no showing off or people being loud. That said, it still has that gritty hard work feel and the music reflects that. Only critique I have for this place is that they could clean some of the weights and plates better (I don’t think they do at all right now). I noticed my hands were getting dirty when handling some of the plates. The attached picture is what happened when I wiped one of them with a little cleaning towel, pretty gross

Great family owned gym. Extensive equipment section and friendly staff. No AC but it doesn’t bother me that much. Low membership fees and no hassles like major fitness chains have. Only issue - why I only gave them four stars - is unless you come early in the morning, the music is typically WAY TOO LOUD. Can’t hear my own jam and it’s bad sometimes to the point it’s hard to focus on my lifts. Please turn the music down ... this is a fitness facility not Warehouse Live down the street.

UPDATE: Gym just added free towel service! Great to see them improving! Very much appreciated. Increasing their stars from 3 to 4. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Friendly staff, clean environment, ample parking-- but locker room is horrendous. Virtually no room to change clothes, no towels, extremely hot and humid (little to no ventilation). Half of the gym does not have A/C which makes it nearly impossible to work out during the summers. It does have a wide variety of moderately used equipment.

I absolutely LOVE this gym! It's a no-frills experience that provides ALL the equipment you need to achieve a satisfying workout. Sure, some gyms offer you donuts and fancy televisions, but Be Fit Gym offers something MUCH better. A friendly staff, supportive gym mates & interactions that extend beyond the gym setting. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone check 'em out. Even if it's just a trial membership, stop by because I guarantee you'll want to become a full member.

The worst gym I ever try in the USA, don’t take me wrong. They have good machines, I loved the location close to my house. But they have no AC, they give me one day free. I train just 30 minutes, that was enough for me. Too Hot. You could see the sealing is broken. The men restroom is like a Apartament bathroom. Then I went to 24 hr Fitness. I will pay 16 dlls more but that’s what I call a real gym. Thks anyway for the day free

Easily one of the best gyms in Houston, hands down. I love the atmosphere that’s been created, especially with the music, as well as all the equipment that’s available. Just about anything you’d want to use to workout is available a this gym. Everyone that I met was super friendly and helpful! I was only able to come for a day, but if I lived in the area I’d definitely have a membership here compared to any other gym!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GYM! It is the very very best gym in Houston. This is not a gym for being quiet and not pushing yourself. Everyone here is so nice and willing to help spot if you need it. Edgar is a fantastic owner and Jorden is great to talk to. This is a place to throw your weight around and grunt while your doing it. If you want a bad ass gym and great people- this is the gym for you!

Can't imagine a more positive environment in which to work in! I love this place it's a big space with that grungy garage style feel, with no AC which is no joke a PLUS! You feel the weight fall off you an result happen if you stick around this kind of positivity. Also Edgar is the man! One of the coolest most down to earth people who wants to see his members succeed. No other gym like it.

BY FAR the best gym in the Houston area! Be Fit is not only a "warehouse with a bunch of machines and free wheights", staff and members make it feel like a community. We are all there because we share the same goal. Your level of athleticism doesn't matter here, Be Fit inspires a "push as hard as you can and then some more" attitude from the moment you walk through the door.

BEST GYM EVER!! If you’re not training here what the actual f*#k are you doing!? Haha! Edgar is the the owner and he’s incredible! If you want loud music, kinda grungy, warehouse gym this is the one you want! They’re always hosting free boot camps on the weekends! All the trainers here are BADASSS guys! Like wow! This place is so much more than a gym! It’s family <3

Great place for a workout warehouse style. I love the heat. Most everyone here is more interested in training instead of selfies like the chain centers (we won't call those places gyms unless they actually earn that title.) Everyine leaves me the F alone which is perfect. The only downfall is the music unless you love whiny Drake but that's what headphones are for.

No frills. No complications. No air conditioning. No overcrowding. This is an affordable gym that's centrally located for people who just want to workout. Free weights, Olympic setups, machines, cardio equipment, outdoor space. A great gym all around. There's no locker room, but they do have private showers that are clean and gender specific restrooms as well.

Greatest gym i've ever had the pleasure of joining. When you come here you are forced to become a family member not just a customer. Edgar the owner is the most kind hearted, hard working men i've ever had the honor of working with. If you have a goal Edgar will do everything in his power to see you achieve them. GREATEST GYM IN THE STATE OF TEXAS HANDS DOWN!

Edgar is the man! It's great to have a gym that doesn't feel like they are trying to squeeze money out of you at every turn. The music selection is great, and you can tell that the members here all have a passion for lifting. Don't be intimidated by the dungeon! Come in, sign up, and kill your workout. Don't waste your money on another globo-gym!

I've only just joined, but so far, so good. It is well-equipped, and the majority of it is in working order. Some of the treadmills were out of order, but there wasn't a wait for one. The key pluses are that the other members are really courteous: they rerack, wipe down, and don't update their FB profile while sitting on the equipment.

Awesome gym that has on site and street parking (though street parking can get busy on game days). Has all the machines you need and then some. The people that run this place are friendly and awesome. Keep in mind that it’s not climate controlled so be prepared to sweat (a lot) especially in the summer and bring a towel.

Great place to go to actually work out. Most gyms in Houston are as crowded as bars and set up for a social environment, which is frustrating when 8 dudes are flexing in front of 2 squat racks playing grab ***. Be Fit has the camaraderie, the space, and the people to motivate you to work harder!! Love this gym.

Awesome gym for great value. Edgar and the rest of the staff are awesome and do a great job keeping their customers involved. Have never had any issues working out at the gym in the morning and using the shower before heading to my office downtown. Easily one of the better gyms I have ever been a member of.

Solid, no nonsense gym with some rusty equipment. Bars range from "my hands are screaming because this knurl is so aggressive" to bald but they have most anything you'd need for a strength workout. Drop in cost me $10. Staff was friendly, patrons seemed to be a pretty typical gym community.

I love this GYM its in walking distance. Great environment, love the vibe and the music keeps me motivated. It's annoying when delusional individual try to ruin a good thing for everybody because they don't get there way. Stop wasting your time BE FIT is here to stay, so come join the FUN.

I was only a guest but Be Fit is sweaty heaven! LoL! The staff was incredibly helpful and I honestly loved the hype playlist! The indoor outdoor layout of this gym is definitely unique and worth a peek! When my current membership ends where I currently go I plan on signing up with Be Fit!

Great staff, the equipment is quality, AC is available in one area while you have the area with the outside weather as well. Friendly, restrooms well equipped, no doubt about the cleaning maintenance it does give you. Almost 3 years ago I started here, and I'm still going, second home.

Be Fit is a great gym if you need a new gym or if you just need a gym to work out for a couple of days. It has a great vibe and the people are very friendly. My favorite part is the boxing/kickboxing bags they have in the back. Great place to lift heavy weights and hit the bags!

All i want from a gym is all the weights and machines i need, plenty of squat racks, and not having to wait when its busy. BeFit has all those things. Everyone here is here to work out hard. I can turn up with no motivation and end up killing my workout. Owner is great too.

Be-fit has a good selection of weights throughout the gym. The lady who everyone refers to as "boss lady" can be discourteous. I have been going to this gym for half a year now but have been asked repeatedly to verify myself after checking in. Completely unprofessional.

This gym is one decision you will not regret! The gym is spacious, a lot of equipment, weights, racks and the vibe is pretty rad. Couldn’t imagine going anywhere else - oh, and the people are some of the most genuine, courteous people you’ll meet at a gym!

If visiting (Houston TX) or in search of something unique, it would be foolish not to explore the inner workings of Befit Gym. Which could be best described as a warehouse gym, woven within the community, with good music and the vibes to match.

Edgar is the man -- he keeps the place relatively clean, consistently invests in new equipment and makes everyone feel welcomed. Be Fit is a great alternative to many of the other Big Box gyms around Houston. It is also very affordable!

As a gym owner I scrutinized any gym that I visit. Walked into Be Fit Gym today as my buddy is a member. Had a solid workout, love the music and I got to meet Edgar, the owner and he was freakin awesome. I highly recommend this gym.

I enjoy the atmosphere, there's an outdoor workout section with tires, ropes and pull-up bars and indoor is an absolute vibe with the music alternating from the cable and cardio side to the weight lifting side of the building.

Be fit Gym is the best in Houston! Im there for 2-3 hours a day 7 days a week! when its time to leave,it's tough ..can't get enough of this place! ..sometimes I do 2 a day! Great music …

This gym is incredible. I worked out here on a day pass while passing through Houston but they have an extensive amount of room and equipment. Most is in good shape. Clean. Nice staff. I wish this gym was in my town.

Just joined back after being out of state. Be Fit and staff never disappoint. The team is especially awesome! Everyone is friendly, you get outside and inside workout options. Everything you need to get your fit on!

Really cool environment if your just looking to get the work in. If you like LA Fitness or Lifetime this is not your spot. Awesome music playing loud and can motivate you. I don't even bring headphones Awesome place

The best gym in Houston HANDS DOWN. They have a great community/family atmosphere that breathes positivity and zero judgement. The rates are fair and the staff will become your family. Recommend to everyone!

First timer and not the last Definitely going to be a member! Went on the grand opening of its new location as a free entry. Signed a waiver and the lady in the front was so helpful and informative

I love this gym. I've been a member since it opened. I love it because its a warehouse gym, so you get a nice workout and sweat. The staff and members are freindly and make it more enjoyable.

Best gym I’ve ever been to by far. I was only in Houston for a few months and this place is easily what I’ll miss most. Edgar is a stand out guy and the atmosphere is super motivating.

This gym is amazing I had a great time deadlifting 205 at a 305bw and then after having 4 vanilla lean bodies to use as my meals because I have 12 meals a day to keep my physique.

I like the versatility in this gym that you get to choose from in the equipment. Its not your typical gym. A rower, a sled tractor tires and battle ropes. The staff is friendly.

They make you feel like a part of a family. The machines are on top shape. It does get busy in the afternoon so recommend you go in the morning. Really recommend this place !

Best gym in Houston. The heat is no joke makes you sweat and get the workout in. Loud good music not your typical gym music. Staff is cool and makes you feel at home.

If anyone is looking for a gym that you will feel welcome to and made to feel at home and help accomplish any of your fitness goals Be Fit is the best of the best!

Just joined and its awesome they could change up the music but overall everyone's cool they have variety! They should hire a gym equipment technician! Just sayin!

nice gym located in east downtown area. they have enough equipment to make it a legit gym. they play god music outloud which i was a fan of. would visit again

My go to gym, the staff is amazing, the members are always friendly, the atmosphereis always perfect for a gym session. Hands down the best gym in Houston.

Too loud music. Need to shout to hear friends and can't use headphones because it's too loud. It's near permanent hearing damage decibel levels

Awesome place! Thank you for allowing HCC SPTA groups come in and advocate to the local community. Environment was filled with great people!

I put my heart n soul into this gym. This is my bread n butter man. This is the cream of the crop. You need Be Fit. You need it now.

Came here while traveling for work. Gym is great and has all you need that a hotel gym doesn’t. Jerry Garcia was a huge help!

Great place. Something for whatever you want to do. Everyone keeps there social distancing in tact. Wish they had a pool lol.

Great family owned gym. Always clean and we'll taken care of. Staff is always friendly and willing to help any way they can.

Great no hassles gym for a good price!! Just get ready to sweat in the summer since it's a wearhouse open to the outside.

One of the best gym vibes in Houston. Can get very busy but still able to get work done. Definitely a spot to try out.

This gym is full of cool people that are there to just lift. The music is motivating, great training environment.

Overall good. The only thing is, I do not understand why they don't install AC in free weight and plateform area.

Great gym with an open floor plan& lots of weights & equipment. Very affordable & no non-sense membership plan!

The staff is the best there is hands down and they have some iconic old school machines. Have to check it out!

This gym has great combination of work out equipment,atmosphere and music. You can get a killer work out here!

One of the coolest gyms I’ve ever been too with the best music. The owner seems like a really good dude too

More equipment than most other gyms. Greeted by name by Edgar. The best gym experience ever.

Got everything you need to workout great atmosphere Reuben and Johnathan very kind …

No headphones, good variety of machines/weights, awesome friendly people. Love this gym

The recent expansion and upgrades to the gym are superb. Good music and vibes as well.

Love this gym. The rates are fair, the space is massive, and the layout is amazing.

They think their old gym facility with roof almost falling down is the best …

Cool vibe the girls there are super nice and spot me when I am doing bench press

Best gym in houston no doubt , really great staff and environment!!

Stopped by to inquire about membership. Will become a member soon.

Fantastic gym! Hard work pays off! Enjoyed DJn here & working out!

Awesome gym!! Always a great vibe with friendly staff and patrons.

Luvvvv this gym , especially for summertime …

Clean equipment, wonderful staff, vibrant atmosphere!

I love the outside space!

Great gym
