Ooofff these guys nailed it. Nothing like this anywhere, and I have been a fitness junky for almost two decades. I have had memberships at several gyms like, Equinox, lifetime fitnesss onyx and the one in Katy, Big Yoga, LA fitness, 24 hrs, crossfits, etc. I knew I was needing something and I was ready to step up my game so I came to check It out, and it completely surpassed my expectations. Here are my highlights of my experience for the last 4 months since Ive joined. The instructors are highly trained and have an extensive background in calisthenics as well as gymnastics, they are very talented, dedicated, patient and very creative. The workouts in which we isolate muscle groups has made such an impact on all my other type of sports and routines such as cycling and aereals. An example is core compressions, look it up. The workouts are always coached with at least 3 diff levels of difficultiy therefore when I first starting coming I was able to plug in easily and gradually push my self avoiding injuries. They are also very balanced, therefore you dont just emphasize on lower body or upper body. Its just a cool place, I have gotten so strong and I cant wait til I can do some of the awesome stuff some of the people in here can do. Its a fun environment, its super inviting and I dont feel like Im a number. Its like have a personal trainer and work out with your friends. The classes are intimate and you get plenty attention.

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 Ive never seen anywhere else), but he is a great teacher. He tailors the workouts to the level of the students. Ive never done calisthenics before, but he designed a class that met my fitness and skill needs. The gym itself is awesome, its a former car mechanic turned into a sweet gym. Im a fitness freak and love these workouts - highly recommend to anyone that wants to get in incredible shape and have fun doing it!

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.

Horrible! ive been doing calisthenics for years... I attended one of these expensive classes and all we did was pushing exercises. I even did some of the movements horribly wrong to see if the instructor would catch it and say something and he did not. If youd like to throw away your money and compound your physical issues then I would say throw your body away with this gym. If you prefer not having injuries and getting hurt by these novice instructors then PLEASE just stay at home or go use a park and dont pay for 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, dont hesitate to join if you are ready to get and stay in shape! You will also meet some very great like-minded people too!

There is no other gym I would rather train at. Body weight programs are the way forward. Ive 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.

Joined a few months ago and have had much progress! Knowledgeable trainers know how to prepare you for more advanced movements and keep you injury free. As with any training program you get out what you put in. But the workouts are different from what I was used to so theyve helped me get out of the plateau. Keep the gains coming!

Love this place. The instructors are great and have a knack for making the workouts fun and challenging for all levels. The community of people is fun and supportive. Ive noticed massive improvements in my fitness since I started working out here 3 months ago, and its all been a lot of fun, too!

Just tried my first class with Greg and it was great! Greg was an incredibly patient instructor and very encouraging. The workout was definitely something unique and I highly recommend your trying it out for yourself!

Had my first workout today at Mekanix with Victor and I will definitely be back. Victor was knowledgeable and corrected my improper posture during exercises. Time to get to work! Thanks for making a great gym Mekanix!

waste of time . Terrible instructors; None of which are high level calisthenics athletes (shouldnt the instructors at a calisthenics gym be masters of calisthenics ??) . Awkward bar set up. Just not good.

Karen Russell

Great new workout concept for me that is very challenging! Saturday 9AM class certainly sets the tone for my weekend! Not to mention the instructors and class mates are very friendly and welcoming!
