Fitness & Gyms near Portland, TX

“I read a lot of older views. You can definitely get a good workout in and has what you need. The old reviews had some points equipment is not well maintained, however the clients thay are there don't repack the equipment once they use it. I guess it's now to heavy to return where it was found. They also leave cleaning bottles and towel on the floor or on equipment even though there's signs asking them to do so. I would say that maybe having a staff member who during there duties remind clients in case they have short term memory or head injuries. Overall I like the gym and there are plenty of good people. Also they have added some new arsenal equipment.”

“I really enjoyed this gym. They have everything you need to get a good workout in no matter your strength levels. Dumbbells go up to 140 pounds, and they have a good variety of equipment. Only one bench, but the gym is rarely busy, so you don’t have to wait long. The trainers here were always friendly, and were happy to help Andy off and everybody.”

“This place really came in clutch this weekend. As a traveling businessman the amenities offered at this location were extremely beneficial to my immediate needs.I took advantage of the free trial membership offered at this location, and quite possibly the other locations that freedom fitness as I’m guessing nationwide. Upon entering the gym, I noticed that they had more than adequate amounts of workout equipment and just the right amount of extras to be sold to supplement the workouts. There were two staff members that quickly helped me and made recommendations to the amenities that they felt would facilitate my needs, I have to say I give kudos to the female staff member, whom I assumed was a manager by her strong demeanor, but was a tenured employee. Danette quickly and accurately recommended the pressure massage chair that I would soon use after the shower that I needed upon returning from a coastal fishing trip.The water pressure in the showers was immaculate as well as the temperature of the water. Oddly since I like to take cold showers, I wish the water would’ve been a little more cold, but since it is the middle of the summer, I can only imagine that the water storage around town is quite possibly boiling due to the high south Texas temperatures that we’ve been experiencing this year.After a three hour wade in treacherous water, followed by a quick dip into the cold salty waters at mustang island beach you could imagine that I was extremely fatigued. I decided to utilize the handicap facilitated shower to give me a little bit extra rest, and like Winston, Churchill says, “why stand when you can sit” in regards to bathing versus showering. The showers were not very packed. Even though they were only two available, and the Weeknd crowd seemed very thin—to my advantage. After a long and rigorous shower, then set to air dry for a moment on a wooden bench that was just outside of the shower room area.The locker room was well equipped with adequate facilities for taking care of one’s personal hygiene, etc.. There are two showers, two sinks, and one giant countertop, as well as a separate room with lockers in there with a long bench in between the lockers I did not notice if they had luxe, but like many other gyms, I am sure that they have the hardware to bring your own.On to the massage part of the review, I then inquired about the massage and requested the charming and witty Danette to assist me with the massage chair that she recommended to me. Unfortunately, she was on break, but another young man was able to assist me. After initiating the start process of the massage chair, or utilize the three minutes that it gives you before the start to wipe down the chair with the sanitary wipes that were conveniently located close by after cleaning off the chair from a very minimal amount of debris, I then started the massage with lasted over 10 minutes. I was able to customize the massage to my liking and after 10 minutes and a few more relaxing afterwards I took about a minute nap accidentally and then felt extremely rejuvenated.I hope to return soon someday to take advantage of the workout equipment that is located here at this convenient location in West Corpus Christi.Upon further consideration, and the revision of my review, I have decided to give this location of Freedom Fitness a rare (for me) five star review.Kudos to the Saturday staff and the management at this location and I can only hope that other locations can meet the high standards that this location here on Alameda I have created in my mind. They have definitely set a very high standard, and even a benchmark from which I will now Judge every gym that I consider using in the future.”

“Such personal home gym feeling! I have been a member for over a year now and I have no complaints. Staff has always been friendly and helpful - they even allow you to test and try the gym for free before you commit (yes they take your information but you have to now a days with any business)”
