There is builds that have equipment to workout and then there is Vegvisir. Anytime I would show up to workout at Vegvisir it felt like family. Kidd and Katelyn are some of the nicest people I have met. All the coaches are friendly and know how to push you to get closer to your goals. If you have been thinking about it or looking at places just stop and call Kidd at Vegvisir to get your fitness journey started. The sooner you start, the sooner you will start feeling better.

Just finished my first month of the onboarding program. Coaching staff is incredible, they're all very supportive, give great feedback on performing movements safely and effectively and make sure to scale exercises to each person. Facility is great, has all the right stuff to pick up and put back down, equipment is in good shape and everything is very clean.

Vegvisir is a great gym with amazing coaches and a wonderful atmosphere. The coaches take the time to truly learn and understand you as an athlete and person, working every day to make you better and become the best version of yourself. The workouts are centered on learning skill and then incorporating that skill into a great workout. I highly recommend this gym to everyone looking to better themselves and looking for a home away from home.

Perfect place for anyone to start and everyone to stay!! The coaches are amazing and the gym is so well run. I feel like they are really invested in my health.I was very active in CrossFit a few years back, getting back into it I wanted to be careful not to hurt myself. It was important for me to be in a place that prioritized my safety as well.The On Ramp personal training has been such a blessing. EVERY coach is there to really coach. They are intentional, watching you to offer guidance on technique and motivate you to work your hardest. I feel like I am learning something everyday even though I spent years doing CrossFit prior to this gym.

On top of that, everyone is very approachable and friendly and it is definitely a good experience.

As a complete beginner to CrossFit, I was so nervous to walk in and start this journey. Vegvisir couldn't have made it easier or more fun to get started and jump in. The coaches are all absolutely amazing and continuously help me along the way. (their patience really knows no bounds!)The onboarding personal training sessions at the beginning help immensely to learn the movements and ease into the group classes. I was completely terrified of group classes before starting here, but all the athletes at the gym are super supportive and awesome people. The gym is clean and the equipment is in great shape, which makes it really easy to prioritize gym time even when I'm busy. I really feel like a part of the family when I walk into the gym and am greeted by name. It's a small but powerful gesture that all are welcome and everyone matters here.

Honestly the most humbling and pleasant workout experiences I’ve ever had. The Vegvisir team is exceptional at catering to each individual’s needs and goals which makes it an amazing place to work on your own journey. Everyone is very kind, considerate, and encouraging regardless of your level of fitness. Walking in I was very nervous but everyone was so kind and supportive that those fears of being judged just flew away. This place is definitely worth the investment of taking care of your body and mind.

Over the years, I have been a member of four CrossFit gyms around the Houston area: Vegvisir is my favorite! There is so much that makes it such a special place. Here are some of the reasons I feel so great about going there for my morning workouts: This is a place where diversity is welcome and, yet, it feels like I'm part of a big family. There is a genuine care about individual's progress, as much effort is put supporting you in your journey. At first you have an interview with one of the trainers and measurements are done in order to have a baseline. From time-to-time, updating visits provides a good picture of how you are advancing with tips on how to make it better. Your workouts are registered in their system and you can see the results on the app. There are different workout benchmarks and levels that you may chose to set as goals. So, losing/gaining a certain amount fat/muscle may not be the only point of focus. In fact, I'm more in tune with achieving new skills or having fun accomplishing different abilities. On the first few months, I received weekly personal texts to make sure that my needs were met and that I was feeling well. Kidd (owner and coach) sends ongoing emails explaining major workouts, including how they are helpful and how to achieve them. All with a very cheerful tone. In addition, the facility is clean and it even has restrooms with shower, which is not common in CrossFit locations. I also like that they have several session options in their schedule, so it can fit most people's schedule. They also offer a couple of different memberships, depending how often you would like to exercise. There is plenty of free parking spots in spite of how close it is to downtown. In summary, being able to keep up with a healthier lifestyle can be challenging, and working out is a big part of it. Thus, I'm thankful that Vegvisir facilitates this journey of mine.

Vegvisir CrossFit is an awesome gym with great coaches! I’ve been coming here for about six months and couldn’t ask for a more supportive place to work on my fitness goals. At Vegvisir, the on-ramp program starts with FOUR one on one sessions so you’re truly comfortable with movements and the style of CrossFit workouts. (I’ve been to a few gyms where you get one 45 min foundation class, then you’re thrown to the wolves.)This is a CrossFit gym where programming is taken seriously and the coaches communicate frequently with all athletes about what’s going on and why—weekly WOD preview emails, helpful tips to approach each workout, and there’s even a podcast! Whether you are new to CrossFit or a seasoned fitness warrior, this gym will push you, hold you accountable, and cheer you on each time you show up. I’m super grateful that I found them and I would encourage anyone who is looking for fitness, nutrition help, community, or all of the above to give Vegvisir a try—you’ll be so happy you did!

At the time of writing this review, this will be my third week training at the gym. In that short time I have seen my strength and conditioning improve noticeably. It's great supplemental enhancement to my Jiu Jitsu training. Kidd and his team of coaches are awesome professionals dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, properly and safely refine your technique, and get you in great shape. The culture here is one of team positivity, safely performing at the level you are comfortable with, and working together to achieve higher levels of fitness. I started with the "on ramp" one-on-one personal training which has been great to ease into and properly learn the more complex exercises like Olympic-style lifts. I highly recommend if you are interested in getting into Crossfit training!

Long review so TL:DR version: If you are looking for a healthy, encouraging, safe, fun environment to get back on track or continue your fitness journey, this is the place for you.I stepped into Vegvisir Crossfit almost 2 months ago after doing extensive research about personal training in Houston. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a chronic illness that affects all body systems and makes me prone to injuries/dislocations. I totally fell off the fitness wagon and had been watching myself get more and more unhealthy to the point that I wondered if it was too late or if I would be able to get back to a healthy spot, my pain was through the roof and I was feeling so discouraged. I went to gyms and met people who all seemed great, but as someone who looks totally healthy from the outside, none seemed to grasp my needs and my fear of injury coming into a gym environment.When I first looked into Vegvisir I sent the owner a long email about my condition, current status, and worries. At this stage a lot of other gyms did one of two things, tell me it was too much of a liability, or just disregard my medical/surgical history. Kidd did neither. He stressed to me that Vegvisir would be a safe place, that he would listen, adapt, and partner with me, that their goal was lifelong fitness and functionality. He also asked questions to clarify things that he had learned in doing more research, which absolutely blew me away.My first month was 3x/week personal training and it was worth every single penny. Kidd gave me attainable but challenging goals, and offered encouragement along the way. I left each session totally exhausted, but in the best way, and I never left with new pains. He watched each new movement closely, and was able adjust when something didn't feel quite right and was sometimes able to adjust my movements before I even noticed that they were compensatory and not safe for my body/joints. EDS also comes with chronic fatigue, and the coaches are able to adjust for that. They know when I am not walking in at 100% and adjust the workouts as needed, but never shaming or pushing too far.I am now transitioning into part class and part PT which was something I was very nervous about but has so far gone so smoothly. I have worked with a couple other coaches and they all reflect the type of environment the owner has laid out for me and everyone that walks through those doors. I never feel shamed or embarrassed for scaling down weights or movements to meet where I am right now, in fact its quite the opposite. The classes are full of diverse people and levels of workout. I see beginners and very experienced athletes working out side by side, its a really cool community to witness.After less than 2 months I have already felt a HUGE difference in my pain and energy levels, and my overall joint health. While I thought I would use personal training as a way of breaking the cycle I was in and getting back to a healthy spot then going back to my regular routines, my plan has totally changed and I can't wait to continue membership at Vegvisir.

Absolutely amazing community. I was brand new to CrossFit and a little apprehensive to start because I had very little experience with weight lifting. They have a personal training onboarding program to help with learning the basics that was very useful. After that, all of the daily classes have coaches that are very attentive and work with you to continually improve your form and any personal goals you might have. This gym is so well run it feels like having a personal trainer that also organizes game nights and occasionally cooks you tacos.

By far the best Crossfit gym. Coaches care about form, will give you advice, and keep you safe and injury free. Honestly like a huge family, supportive and concerned with your goals, health, and well being. Great for all levels from just being off the couch to elite level fitness. Will make you feel comfortable while challenging you and working towards what is important to you if that is strength, fitness, weight loss, or competition. Can't say enough good things. Six stars ? ? ? ? ? ?

Great CrossFit Gym. Clean, spacious, but the best it is a family owned business with great detail to providing each member with 1on1 plan and goals. My favorite place in Houston.
