Top notch gym etiquette! Other gym-goers are very courteous and respectful, meanwhile the members also show how disciplined and uplifting they are. Species has been very welcoming to my friends that have tagged along as they started their fitness journey, the moments other members have gone out of their way to give them a compliment has helped my friends look forward to continue working out. I haven't and don't plan on visualizing myself going anywhere else, there's good music, great people, and a larger variety of equipment that you'll ever need

This gym is great. Yes when you sign up you have to pay for 2 months to get a key fob but for a private gym with a membership cap that makes sense. Yes if you are not a member you can't be let in by members for us we are allowed 24/7 access even when staff is not there this is for safety of members and the gym itself. Membership is reasonably priced at $40 for the amount of equipment you get. This gym is 2 warehouses side by side the first containing many of your upper body machines, Free weight benches, dumbbell section, turf and some HIIT equipment. The second is where this place shines containing AN ENTIRE SECTION OF LEG SPECIFIC MACHINES AND PLATE LOADED MACHINES. I am talking so many versions of leg press, hack squats, pendulum squats you name it they have it. The back of the second warehouse contains bench, squat, and deadlift area for powerlifters with KG weights. To top it all off you have the posing room. Specifically designed to provide different lighting options it's perfect for competitors to work on poses and for pictures post workout plus it's very private. Overall I love this gym the people are all committed to one thing reaching whatever goal they set. It's old school with murals of legends in bodybuilding and has a great vibe and atmosphere. Anybody serious about fitness will live it especially if you loved the older days of bodybuilding!

This is a great warehouse-style gym. Facilities are well kept, plenty of equipment, not too crowded, and everyone is friendly and motivating.

Really cool gym with anything and everything you’ll ever need. Only drawback is the staff is pretty lazy and unreliable. They are sometimes hard to locate, leave early, and rarely have available towels.I asked for an ETA on towels the other day and was met with eye rolling as if I asked them to move mountains.

I made the switch from LA and it has been the best decision. The environment the gym has is awesome and great for being serious about the gym

I switched from Alphaland to Species and I do not regret anything about my decision. I pretty much love everything about this gym. Everyone is very kind and welcoming. The ambience is incredible as mostly everyone there is pretty serious about their lifts and when they’re not, they’re having fun. No cameras being shoved in your face and there’s not a plethora of tripods you’re having to watch out for. I feel like I can actually be part of a helpful gym community here. It does get hot in there but it makes the workouts better as you’re not having to wait to warm up. Overall, no complaints here.

If you considering joining an amazing gym, look no further. Species is the spot. Great equipments and staffs. Everyone here is welcoming, hardworking and helpful. Don’t be shy and make friends. You will be a part of the species family.

You get way more than you pay for with this gym. Managers Maurice & Mercedes are always asking about your experience, anything they could improve upon, any equipment we need. The gym is open air but there are huge fans everywhere and the locker rooms are always super cool. Glad I left my overpriced gym and got a membership here when I did!

This hands down is the best gym in Houston! Staff and owners are super friendly, Maurice is the GM and any issues that I ever had he has handled it professionally at all times! Equipment is great!

I have many friends who attend this gym. Gone to visit on a day pass in the past and there was no issue, the owners wife let myself in and she was very pleasant. Today I was rudely stopped by the GM (the one with the bleached top of his hair) and told I couldn’t come here any longer because of “drama” which he couldn’t tell me why. It was clearly an emotional response and he kept stumbling over his words. Knowing people that regularly workout at the gym he is known for being creepy around females, talking bad about many gym members just to bring to light some of the issues people aren’t aware of. After failing to give a reason and asking to speak with the owner Kyle he proceeded to power trip and say “I don’t care it’s my decision.” I have never had an issue with anyone at the gym and most certainly never a conflict, you can gladly check cameras at the time of my visit.This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a bad encounter with this man and people should be aware before they attend or visit. Not professional at all and for a “GM” to act out of emotions like that without reason is very immature.After we left the lobby a member (not one that was in the lobby to hear the encounter) informed us he was talking bad about myself and who I was with and seems like there’s some underlying issues this man needs to work out before he’s suited for any management position.

The environment is great and it keeps me coming here. Ive had a membership for 3 years and its nowhere near my home or work. They got all the equipment you could possibly need and staff is the nicest. If you are looking for a motivating place to achieve your fitness goals this is it.

Love this gym so much! I have never made a community at a gym until I started coming here! The equipment is superior to many gyms I’ve been to in the past. Tons of machines and variety. Multiple free weight sections and a great area if you want to do walking lunges or sled runs. Maurice at the front is so helpful, personable, and just awesome in general! And I gotta say, since Mercedes upped the cleaning game, the gym’s cleanliness is on point!
