Fifth Gear CrossFit

I’ve been working out at Fifth Gear Crossfit for about five months now and I absolutely love it! The coaches are very nice, helpful, and have a challenging program to which they guide you through with optimism. I feel super pumped everytime I walk into the box because the ambiance is so awesome! Everyone that works out here is very friendly and cheerful. I am so glad that I found Fifth Gear Crossfit! If you get a chance to try this place out, do it! You’ll probably end up being just as glad as I am to have done so! :-)

I’ve always liked lifting weights but have been intimidated by gym culture. I’ve historically been one of those people that’ll work out for a month or two and then get «busy» because I’m not enjoying it.
I just want to recommend Fifth Gear to anyone who is considering Crossfit, or interested in improving their overall fitness and health. I love starting my day here and have been coming 2 – 4 times per week for months (which is a miracle on its own). This is the first gym I’ve ever been able to get into, stick with, and really enjoy. The owner, David, does great programming. I was leary of stereotypes– that Crossfit instructors will push you too hard with disregard for possible injury. But David and other instructors are hawks who will make sure you’re not lifting too much (or lifting with bad form). Classes are capped, so you’ll get plenty of attention. They’ll make sure you get a workout that challenges you without breaking you. I pretty much always leave Fifth Gear feeling both exhausted and thrilled.
When I started going to Fifth Gear, my terrible asthma-​lungs wouldn’t let me run for a full half-​mile without stopping and walking. I was inspired to write this review because, today, I went to the doctor and was asked if I’m a runner (for the first time) because I was in such great cardiovascular shape! Haha! I’m in the best shape of my life, am lifting and running better than ever, and it’s thanks to these guys. If you want to grow and be challenged in a highly thought-​out, incredibly supportive environment, this is as good as it gets. You will never be shamed for being the most out-​of-​shape person in class, and will get a hell of a workout no matter what.

Excellent gym with excellent coaches! They have programming that that caters to all levels of CrossFitters, whether you’ve never worked out in your life or if you’re a competitive athlete. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and give it a shot, you’ll be glad you did!

I’ve been competitively crossfitting for about a year now. This place has awesome programming and coaches who know what they’re talking about. It’s a great community of athletes of all levels. Would definitely recommend to the experienced and non experienced crossfitter!

Addicted from day one! Joining 5^th Gear has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, physically. I am 32, played sports all my life, was a competitive runner in college and mountain bike racer in Arkansas.
David (owner and head coach) dispels all the nasty rumors about Crossfit. Your health and fitness are paramount to the staff, in a long-​term view. There is no foolishness, or trying to get you to push stupid amounts of weight. They tailor the workouts to you, coach you on technique, and help all skill levels scale where needed. These are intelligent workouts.
Having said that, the intensity is fantastic. I’ve never pushed myself so hard, nor been challenged to this level — strength, conditioning, technique, endurance. I am totally new to olympic lifts, but have quickly fallen in love. Happy to say, I am in the best shape of my life after just a few months. The members are all very encouraging, great atmosphere.
Huge facility, with monkey bars, climbing ropes, all the weights and kettle-​bells you could ever want, and a turf area for sprints. Come visit, you will love it.

It’s difficult for me to put into words what 5^th Gear and the coaches have helped me achieve! As a former athlete with injuries, they modify movements but, still push me to gain mobility and strength. I never thought I would enjoy Crossfit and now my day isn’t complete without it! On a side note, the physical changes I have seen in my body are amazing! Even with my previous injuries, I am stronger than I have been in years! This isn’t the kind of place you hear horror stories about! They truly care about each one of us and our goals!

Ok ok I know crossfit is super popular right now, but I feel like 5^th Gear is different. The coaches really want you to lead a healthier life. Every WOD (work out of the day) can be scaled for every fitness level! There were young amazingly fit people to senior citizens in my class! Everyone got in a great work out in a safe and fun environment! Seriously check it out! It is awesome!

Came in for the 5:15 am class and this place has there game together. I haven’t done Crossfit in about 10 months due to a back injury, and I have been to 3 or 4 boxes in my Crossfit experiences. This one is by far the best ran, most organized and biggest facility I have seen. There was none of the crazy side talking or time consuming confusion and nonsense. It was great. Unfortunately for me, I think my Crossfit days are done. First work out back, scaled down and tweaked the back again. This was on me, dang it.
The coach David also was very thorough and just new his stuff. Nothing like showing up to a box, which I have, and having some yahoo trying to make everyone push unrealistic weights and making people have a terrible and unfair opinion of Crossfit. If that has ever happened to you, give these guys a try, it may just change your mind.

Great place to begin your crossfitting experience OR if you’re a Veteran, it’s perfect as well! This place shatters any of the negative stereotypes that people associate Crossfit with – the coaches are AWESOME, very knowledgeable and able to scale any workout to fit your skill level. The facility is HUGE! Plenty of room and even a huge area with turf! By far, the coolest rig I’ve ever seen. The members are very welcoming and make you feel like you’re a part of the 5^th Gear family, from day one. And last, but certainly not least, the best prices in town. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

This is a great place to start crossfit! I wanted to check out what crossfit was all about and ended up loving it because of the personal service and information provided by the staff. Three weeks into it I have worked with three of the trainers and have been impressed by the consistency of personal care exhibited by them all! I would recommend 5^th Gear to first timers!

Largest Crossfit Box I’ve seen. Gabriel was the trainer and part owner. Great warmup, strength, technique and tough WOD. I’m a drop in guest and they had a warm and welcoming group. Lots of new equipment and obstacle course training elements too. Only bad thing… They were out of t-​shirts. I know, that’s not what’s important. I highly recommend them for quality crossfit training in Houston.

WOW thats the first thing that pops in your head when you see this place its mind blowing on how big it is. I have been apart of a few crossfit gyms because i like to try different places out, but this place put others to shame when it comes to customer service and making you feel part of a team ya know. Gabe is awesome at motivating you and is a great Personal training coach… This place is definitely better than the rest…

What can I say, I’m addicted. I love the daily challenge and the consistent results. I like feeling strong and being able to say «look what I can do!» 5^th Gear is such a positive and encouraging environment. All the coaches make an effort to know your name and have no problem with correcting your technique to ensure proper form! They are also there to help you grow and push your limits. I have tried other Crossfit Boxes, but 5^th Gear is definitely different. Their space is HUGE!!! And they are like a family and I am glad I found them. Even if you are a NEWBIE to working out — they have something to get you started on your level. If you are on the Westside and looking for a place to workout please go by and see David/​Susie Tannery. Tell them Z sent you!

This place is great! The box is huge which gives it great potential for «fun» crossfit movements. Perfect for all City Centre people that have been looking for a crossfit place. Gabe is a great coach and very supportive. Always working on making you better and excel, finding the next stepping stone towards your goals. If you are new to crossfit they will let you try it for free! Did you hear that folks, FREE! Don’t miss out on this awesome place.
