F3 Cross Training

F3 crosstraining has been great!!! I look forward to going everyday after work! Ryan is such a great coach/​trainer. The community there is just amazing! Definitely recommend this place! Very intense workouts so your body never gets used to the same routine! They also mixing in kickboxing but it’s in the progress so definitely can’t wait for that!!:) definitely a place to come check out and join! You won’t regret it.

Becoming a member at F3 is like riding a firework through a Michael Bay movie. I’ve done crossfit elsewhere and appreciate how F3 endeavors to integrate cardio to a higher degree than most gyms. I attend the Eado location, and the coaches Ryan (think Han Solo mixed with JFK) and Katie (think Jillian Michaels mixed with Elizabeth Montgomery) are fantastically welcoming and extremely helpful. I never think, «I need to go work out.» Instead I think, «I need to go see friends, and maybe a get a workout in.» Great atmosphere whether you’re starting out or are a seasoned veteran of crossfit-​type workouts. I’m faster and stronger than I use to be, just ask my enemies. Seriously though, you need to try this place out. The reduced first-​month fee is a great way to get a feel for the place. Hard-​core, military types and people who’ve let life get in the way of fitness can easily enjoy the same workouts. Come! And again I say, COME!

I’ve been going to F3 since October and it’s amazing! Ryan and Katie (the trainers) know what they’re talking about and are passionate about what they do. I love that everything is modifiable based on skill level but they still encourage you to challenge yourself.
If you’re looking to step up you fitness game, you need to check this place out.

This place is for everyone! No judgment with hard workouts and super knowledgable leaders! If your looking to start a workout regiment or finding something you this is the place for you!

At the time of this review, I have been attending F3 EaDo for around 4 months – so I have a full view of the program and style. First, if you have a preconceived idea or even negative view of «crossfit» (like I did going in), this place will pleasantly surprise you. It is not a program where the trainers encourage numbers over technique and safety, and everything can be modified to any fitness level.
Second, I have personally gotten incredible fitness results after such a short time. I was used to a certain level of fitness when I was swimming about 12 years ago, but got lazy and inconsistent with workouts. Since starting at F3, I am in better physical condition than I have been in 10 years (this includes programs like p90x and Insanity – which worked well, but not nearly as well as F3 EaDo).
Last, just try it. It’s easy to get started any of the trainers will get you a great first month deal – take advantage of it! Go 4 or 5 days a week and get into it and see the way things work and stick with it.

I joined the gym about 2 weeks after I moved to Houston and it’s been amazing. I think Sean, Ryan, Katie and all the trainers do an excellent job running the gym and have really developed a sense of community. The work outs are fun and extremely challenging and they push you to be better (not just the trainers, everyone at the gym). This is NOT crossfit and it’s not as kitchey or cultish as that, but the work outs are just as good. After 3 months, I really feel like I’m in the best shape of my life and still have a lot to go and a lot to challenge myself to beome. I can’t emphasize enough how there’s a real sense of community at this gym and how I’ve made some really great friends. It was definitely the best decision since I moved to Houston to join this gym!

Great trainer, intense workout… its just too hot for me in the middle of Houston summer!
For my first visit, the instructor went through each of the exercises with me individually ensuring I had the correct form and making adjustments as needed
There is street parking available next to the gym. NOTE: East downtown is still developing so the area is a bit sketch a few blocks away. I took a wrong turn
I will be back in September when the weather is a cooler.

F3 Eado has been amazing! I signed up for F3 last month when they first opened. The facility is spacious and clean, and the equipment is all new. I’d never done crossfit classes before so I was a little nervous, but the trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. I always get a lot of individualized help with form, technique, and whatever nutrition/​fitness questions I have. There are people of all skill levels and they tailor the exercises to whatever fitness level you’re at. The members are all welcoming and willing to help each other out, and the atmosphere is very supportive. I think that’s the best part– it’s really like a small community. The gym also offers social and volunteer events around the city for its members.

This gym is awesome! The owners are super conscientious and have created a clean, well-​designed space with a hike and bike running path running alongside it for outside runs without the threat of getting hit by a car. Saturday’s class involved sledgehammers, sprints, push-​ups and so much more, and was by far one of the best total body workouts I’ve ever had! I just signed up for a membership because I’m definitely going back for more.

LOVE this gym! Workouts are fun and the coaches are really good and involved. Far better than any other gym I’ve been to, and the setup is awesome!

F3 Cross Training has knowledgeable, friendly instructors (Sean, Katie, Ryan, and Kari) that are solely focused on training you through challenging, yet scalable workouts that consist of a wide variety of functional movements. Whether you want to work on cardiovascular endurance, strength, speed, balance, etc, F3 Cross Training’s workouts will develop you in all those areas.
I really like training at F3…
_​The workouts are always different, I’ve never seen them repeat in the two years I’ve been there.
_​The instructors are happy to explain technique and the progressions for a movement; this makes sure we do the workout correctly and most importantly, safely. We also learn how to «scale» movements (easier or harder) to tailor to your level of fitness.
_​All the functional movements have helped me become a more capable person! I’m better at everyday activities, and have even become a weekend obstacle course racer. I also am able to do things I have never done before, such as climbing a rope.
_​My favorite is definitely the camaraderie and support from all the members. Such a welcoming atmosphere and everyone motivates you push yourself!
I am excited to see the new location open in Eado! The gym is in a safe area, next to BBVA Compass Stadium. There are always people out running/​biking and the workouts use a dedicated path to keep out the way of cars. They have a wide range of brand new equipment to support all the awesome movements we do. Great place to workout! Come out and give it a go!

F3=Fully Functional Fitness
It was first built on Washington Ave. in 2007 and expanded out with this EaDo location in summer of 2015.
F3 offers group fitness classes, personal training, nutrition counseling, obstacle courses, and combat classes for that maximum calorie burn. Workouts for each class alternate, so your mind doesn’t get bored.
Pay attention for free classes, probably offered once a month with a limited seating of 20 participants. You can simply sign up on the website or email if you are older than 16. I recently attended a free class here and enjoyed it! There were 5 activities for the 1 hour class that you can do.
— Sledgehammer
— Dead lifts
— Hammer curls
— Running against resistance w/​partner
— Gator push ups
Sean (I think was his name) was a great instructor/​emotional coach. I highly recommend for him if you are interested for a personal trainer!
Lastly, F3 has a discount for your first month of unlimited classes for only $ 30! The $ 30 discount is available on Group-​On and Living Social from the $ 190 monthly fee. Be sure to check it out!
