Facet Seven Heights

Fantastic experience: After not seeing results through working out on my own, I was looking for someone to help formulate a fitness plan that worked. I trained with Jake Emery twice a week for 4-5 months and couldn’t recommend him more! Jake is incredibly knowledgable, patient and encouraging. He was additionally helpful when it came to establishing a nutrition plan, providing insight on meal plans to help reach my goals. Since training with Jake, I’ve built a habit and feel much more confident in my approach to fitness. If you’re looking for an expert that tailors every session specifically for you, Jake is your guy.

Fantastic experience: Still an awesome spot. Big move coming! Can't wait! Fantastic spot. Ive gone on and off for a couple years now. Always great to come back to. Place is clean. Staff is super friendly. Tons of powerlifting racks. Never super crowded. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym because I wanted access to a range of equipment as well as classes. I was initially wary of barre, but Stefani changed my mind. Attending her barre and yoga classes, as well as the occasional ABC, has become my most consistent routine. She is knowledgeable and kind and goofy and cares about the people in her classes. She is unassuming, welcomes everyone in and wants you to have fun even when you don't. Best instructor I've had and the reason I'm still at the gym even though the move will make for a longer bike ride from my house

Fantastic experience: I'm a regular attendee of Stefani's barre classes here, and I used to be someone who absolutely hated such classes at other studios. Stefani's classes are the perfect mix of being challenging, fun and mentally stimulating--and super inclusive as well. I love going here!

Fantastic experience: Whether you like an open gym or group classes, you'll be happy with Facet Seven. Stefani's classes, in particular, are my favorite. She brings experience, energy and a killer playlist each and every time.

Fantastic experience: This gym is one of a kind! It does not have that "big box" feel like other places where you are one in a crowd. The equipment is always clean, the gym is laid out efficiently, and the staff is always so nice. The classes are the real reason I go though! The Barre class is on point, (pun intended), and the ABC class is the best whole body workout you could ask for. Stefani leads classes that, though every muscle may ache later, are engaging, fun, and get the job done! Even during the pandemic the gym stepped up in NO time and offered virtual classes and videos to help those stuck at home. They made it possible to do workouts with whatever you had at home, no equipment needed! Between the equipment, classes, and staff you really cannot go wrong with this gym!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love facet 7! It’s a great gym with even better classes! The yoga class is by far my favorite part about facet 7. They have it Monday Wednesday and Saturday which is perfect for my schedule. I love how it’s for all levels so any of my friends and family can join me. Also the instructor Stephanie is the absolute best and makes the class so fun!

Fantastic experience: Facet Seven provides Live Stream classes by Stefani Harris, who is the BEST. I attend 6 days a week taking a variety of classes offered by Stefani, each one focusing on something different and all are engaging. Stefani makes all of them fun, invigorating, and challenging. Love the live streaming option, and love Stefani Harris!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Facet for a little over a year now and love the value and diversity of classes you can get here!! Stefani’s barre class is incredible and the cycling classes here are so fun. I really feel a sense of community with these classes. Looking forward to the new gym location!

Fantastic experience: I discovered this gym through Class Pass and I exclusively go to Stefani Harris' barre and yoga classes. She is a PHENOMENAL instructor who keeps me motivated and encouraged to show up for class every single week. She's hysterical and makes class so fun you'll *almost* forget how bad your legs are shaking.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy coming to this gym and love going to the classes they offer. My favorite is Barre with Stefani Harris, great class and amazing instructor! As well boot camp is a really good workout . Over all a safe place where i feel comfortable working out in.

Fantastic experience: Love Facet Seven! Stefani is an amazing instructor. I attend her ABC class regularly and it’s the best workout that she always makes fun!

Fantastic experience: I have never felt so welcome in a gum before! Thus was an amazing experience. I did cycling with Lizzy and I met Stephanie with a barre clasd

Fantastic experience: When I lived in Houston, I was a regular attendee at Stefani’s barre class. I’ve never stuck to classes at other gyms before, but she makes it so fun and engaging that I went to every class I could. Now, I live in California, and I still attend Stefani’s virtual ABC classes - she’s just the best instructor and always makes sure you get a good workout!

Fantastic experience: Facet Seven Heights is a fantastic gym. It is very well equipped and has a bit of something for everyone. They have plenty of cardio equipment, free weights, and machines. They also have a large turf area with CrossFit style equipment and an area for boxing. If classes are more of your thing, they have lots to choose from. Facet Seven Heights is very well managed and a gymgoers dream. If you're looking for a new gym in the Heights area look no further, you will love this place.

Fantastic experience: Pros: Overall, the gym has pretty good equipment! They have over 7 squat racks and 3 smith machines. They have a nice turf area to do any type of agilities/plyometrics and sled push/pull. They have a good number of TRX and rings, for those who like suspension trainers. They have boxing bags and pads for those who want to box. They do have a lot of group classes available. Cons: The music is pretty loud. Most people use headphones, but the music is so loud that you'll have to turn up the volume of your music. I don't care to blast my music when I'm listening to it on my headphones. The hack Squat machine isn't good. It does work properly and smoothly, but the depth of the squat isn't good. You can add something on the platform; so you can get more range, but it's a hassle. Same thing with the leg press. Both machines do work properly and smoothly, just lacking on the ROM.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been to. Love how the gym is distributed and variety.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I've been working with Chelsea for about 2 months, and she is the best! Just had to edit this review to add to my experience training with Chelsea. I've lost almost 20 lbs while gaining muscle and strength. She's helped me get back to working out consistently after 3 years of not doing anything. Chelsea is an excellent coach. She's extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator! I've had a wonderful experience working with her!

Fantastic experience: I took advantage of their personal training sessions and was paired up with Emma. Emma tailored a fitness plan that fit my beginner needs. She made sure to correct my form and improve my ankle, hip and knee mobility which made exercises so much easier. I recommend this gym and I absolutely recommend Emma for personal training.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever known. I've been a member for nearly three months and I feel very comfortable working out here. The staff members are friendly and supportive, plenty of space to workout and lots of different classes. Emma is my personal trainer. She is an expert at what she does and I trust her completely. Avoid the big box gyms. Come to Facet Seven for the workout and the fellowship!

Fantastic experience: Great gym - friendly staff, great equipment, enjoyable classes. The staff, instructors, and even other gym members are all very approachable if you have a question or need help.

Fantastic experience: Love love love this gym! Well equipped, friendly atmosphere, so encouraging, and by far the cleanest gym I’ve ever been to. Whatever your age, fitness level, or goals, they will match you with the right trainer or program for you. My grandson and I work out there with strength coach/trainer Nick Sarratt. Grandson is a teenager, I’m in my 70s, and Nick creates programs specific to our individual goals. We both competed in a powerlifting meet this weekend, and thanks to Nick and Facet Seven we both set new personal records and had a great time.

Fantastic experience: The gym is awesome with a variety of machines, racks, weights, and equipments. Not to mention the trainers are top notch. Nick Sarratt has trained me for a while now and his training has allowed me to become a national qualifier in powerlifting. I highly suggest you join.

Fantastic experience: I’ve avoided gyms and exercising all my life, but 2.5 years of working from home and gaining 20 pounds and I needed to find someone to get me over the intimidation of working out. I trained with John Nguyen for weeks (2x a week then 1x a week with the rest on the app) and I can honestly say he was a wonderful accountability partner and beginner trainer. He’s got great energy, great hype tunes, pushes you, deals well with the constant complaining, answers all your questions and has flexibility with schedules. I’ve built a habit and feel so much more comfortable with working out.

Fantastic experience: Just joined to start the year and already love it. It has everything you need for a good workout, regardless of what type of exercise you do. It is a no frills gym that motivates you to have a good workout and not lounge around!

Fantastic experience: Visited today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the size and variety of equipment. I came in around 6 pm and although busy, there was plenty of space between people and lots of machines available which is great. I took a cycling class with Renee and had a blast! Will definitely be back and bring the husband with next time.

Fantastic experience: I did personal training with Jake Emery at Facet Seven and would give 5 stars every workout. Jakes passion and focus to training is unbeatable and he tailors every warm-up, move, and workout to his clients needs. From the time I arrived to my workout until I walked out the door he was 100% focused and dedicated to not only guiding my training but watching me to improve form, technique, and push me along the way. I fully recommend this gym and 5 star recommend this trainer!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for a few months now and absolutely love it. There’s a great selection of machines and weights and plenty of space to do squats, deadlifts, etc. Stefani’s yoga class is great, too. It’s never crowded in the morning unlike the bigger chain gyms nearby.

Fantastic experience: Just moved to the area and was looking for a gym that was NOT one of the national chains - Facet Seven has been a breath of fresh air! They have everything from free weights, cardio equipment, classes and you can’t beat the overall environment! Exactly what I wanted, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The gym has every piece of equipment you can imagine. It has a healthy amount of customer traffic, but is never to busy to get time with the equipment you need. Facet Seven also offers workout classes and the coaches are knowledgeable and helpful. The staff that works the gym is very laidback and helpful when needed.

Fantastic experience: I would like to share my amazing experience using Facet seven Fitness - Heights location. The gym is absolutely loaded with every equipment you may or may not think of. The atmosphere is super friendly and feels homey. I also would like to share my experience working with Jake Emery, by far the very BEST personal coach I have ever had, I would even say amazing nutritionist and physical therapist. I have had knee injuries and I love hiking but the injuries have prevented me from enjoying long strenuous hikes. Jake has completely restored me - no kidding, two months later, I went hiking in Mount Rainier and Big Sur. I didn't once during the 10+ miles hikes hurt, not one iota, I didn't use any anti-inflammatory (which were my go to even for small walks on flat terrain), and felt very strong and kept on walking since. He not only helped me strengthen my leg muscles but also my core, thus correcting my posture which has now been engraved in me, I pay attention to my movements- he had given me back the joy of waling with no pain which not any therapist has achieved with me before him. Jake's focus when he works is exemplary, he really pays attention to every movement, attentive to my abilities and body needs, he listens and cares... I only got stronger and stronger. If you need to get back in shape for whatever reason, look no further - Jake is your Man!! you won't regret it. Thank you Jake and thank you Facet Seven!

Fantastic experience: I came here for the first time on Monday for a barre class with Stefani and loved it! All of the staff was super welcoming, especially Stefani. I hadn't taken a barre class in ~10 years and she was super patient with correcting my form. I'm signed up to go again Wednesday and I can't wait! Clean and nice environment, doesn't feel like your average gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a lot of gyms and workout classes, and I have to say Facet Seven has continuously been the best. Chelsea and her boot camp are amazing - she’s so motivating, friendly, and I get in a great, hardworking workout every time. I just took my first barre class here with Stephanie and she was so positive, hilarious and wow, worked my body! LOVE this gym so much!!!

Fantastic experience: My son started working with Forrest, a personal trainer at Facet Seven, when he was coming out of a bout of depression. He had been sedentary for a while, and he liked seeing the physical changes in his body over the time he was working out there. Forrest had the right balance of sensitivity and encouragement for my son, and we really appreciate his time. I always liked how clean the gym was, and how friendly all the staff was. It's a great place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Update from my last review since it's been a hot minute. Again I will say that Facet is an amazing gym with an amazing community of patrons and trainers. Jake Emrey is my trainer and has been for some time. He is knowledgeable, flexible, attentive, and knows just how to push me. I am down 70 pounds in a year and counting. Jake has no issue providing insight on nutrition and helping me count my macros. Photo is from September 2020 to September 2021.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Jake over several months and enjoyed every minute of it (although we may have struggled during some of the workouts). We are both very active but wanted to put on more muscle—and Jake helped us reach our goals. Jake is professional, punctual, flexible and attentive. He planned every session in advance and quickly adapted whenever we had sore muscles, injuries, or other concerns. And his enthusiasm and professionalism never wained. It is rare to find a trainer that is knowledgeable about both nutrition and training—Jake is well versed in both. He answered all of our nutritional questions and helped us develop meal plans and habits based on our goals. He encouraged us to achieve our training goals while remaining cognizant of our limits. In doing so, Jake heavily emphasized form and fundamentals. This approach was especially beneficial to me because we started working with Jake only a few months after I underwent surgery. Jake greatly simplified the transition from physical therapy to class workout sessions. Lastly, we experienced meaningful tangible results with Jake. My husband and I both gained a significant amount of muscle and lost fat. More importantly to me, my post surgical leg is now almost the same in muscle mass and strength (in under 10 months). My physical therapists noted how much muscle I gained and how much stronger my legs were. At base, Jake is the best trainer you can find in Houston and we could not be any more enthusiastic in our endorsement.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a gym that is a bit different from an always crowded and commercialized atmosphere (similar to LA Fitness), I HIGHLY recommend Facet Seven. Everything about this gym is awesome! The staff is wonderful and they have everything you could possibly need. Don't look further - Facet Seven is the place to be. S/O to Jose at Facet Seven! He's the man.

Fantastic experience: Gym for everyone. Has space & equipment for CrossFitters, bodybuilders, endurance athletes, general health & wellness. There’s a coach for every specialty that can give you advice. Classes are available if you need that structure & accountability. They also have specific programs to help you achieve your goals if you’re just looking for something different. Last (but not least)... this gym is always so clean. From the placement of the KBs and plates to the floors & pull-up bars to the bathrooms. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this place “unclean”. The folks that run the show are always open for suggestions & are in a constant state of continuous improvement.

Fantastic experience: LOVE THIS PLACE!!! they have literally everything you’ll ever need at a gym PLUS classes. The weights and machines are high quality and they have so much variety. You’re rarely waiting on equipment because they have so much. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and sanitized. Cycling with Renee has become my favorite! Her energy and motivation is contagious! I leave class with so much confidence and love for myself. Can’t wait to go back! It’s a must try!

Fantastic experience: Great gym to be part of. We do the body camp workout, virtually currently, but when in studio it is a great Workout for us. Afterwards we do a cardio workout on elliptical or bike or treadmill. Also utilize the weight machines. Staff always friendly and helpful. When pandemic struck and gym had to close temporarily we were able to checkout equipment free of charge. They have done a great job with sanitizing and cleaning and taking the measures needed to try and insure everyone’s safety during these trying times. We miss coming to the gym, but we are still utilizing the virtual classes.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here at Facet 7 Heights for 3 years now and I absolutely love it. I have been a member at several other gyms around the Houston area and Facet Seven is by far the best for me. I love the community attitude here from the staff to the members. All of the coaches here are awesome I have never met one that I didn't like here. Come check out the gym you will be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been impressed with Facet Seven since joining. The weights are always well organized and available and there are plenty of benches and machines so you never have to wait on someone else to finish their reps. The gym itself is clean and the staff is very friendly! I also love reading all the handwritten inspirational (and oftentimes hilarious) messages on the walls.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Staff folks are incredibly nice and always remember your name (does not matter who it is at the desk) , expansive amount of equipment and classes are all you will ever need. If you are serious about fitness, or you just want a very nice place to go to get a quick workout and may even be considering a nationwide chain, I highly recommend you look here first!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I love this gym. Great classes, super friendly staff, always sparkling clean and huge amount of machines and plenty of space to work out by yourself or with a coach! :) Thanks F7!

Fantastic experience: I have taken the boxing class here twice, and have had an excellent experience both times. The gym is really cool and the staff is friendly without being too friendly/fake. Pretty genuine place in the middle of the heights. They also have a great coffee/tea bar for guests, something I haven't seen before in a gym. I plan on coming back more!

Fantastic experience: LOVE this gym!!!! The group classes are amazing and every instructor is so encouraging and detailed on how to do the workouts. The gym is also pretty large and has all the equipment from machines to bands to kettle bells, plate weights, etc, you name it they’ve got it! I highly recommend joining this gym if you’re looking to commit to your health/ fitness!

Fantastic experience: I moved to this gym recently and have really enjoyed it so far. It’s very spacious, not too crowded, great staff, and caters to a lot of different fitness styles. I particularly like the big open functional fitness area in the back, where there’s plenty of space and equipment for functional exercises like lunges or sled pushes without bumping into people.

Fantastic experience: I joined Facet Seven about three years ago (when it was called Studio Fitness), primarily because the price was fair and I wanted a gym that wasn't going to use high pressure sales tactics and be difficult if I needed to cancel my membership. Since that time, I have been surprised at how Facet Seven has become an increasingly large part of my life. I live within walking distance of the gym, and I constantly tell my friends that Facet Seven is one of my favorite things about the neighborhood. With plenty of machines, free weights, and an open area for functional exercises, they really cater to a variety of fitness styles. The staff and atmosphere are friendly and laid back. I have also really enjoyed the classes that they offer, which is not something that I had originally expected to participate in. In particular, I would like to give a quick shout-out to Paul Barrera's "Yoga for Strength and Balance" class. It is a tough class, but you will get a lot out of it, because Paul works with everyone in the class so that they can learn and develop the proper form.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. I've used both locations this past year and I honestly don't really have any critiques. Always clean. Staff is pleasant. Equipment is exactly what I need and/or want. Also quick shout out to Gabby their digital communication rep, she made it very easy to switch location memberships when I got a job closer to their heights location. A+

Fantastic experience: This gym offers EVERYTHING including free weights, machine and cardio equipment, TONS of group classes every day, and an open training area to perform more boot camp style workouts. They cap the memberships during peak hours so it’s never crazy packed. The group classes (my favorite part about this gym) are very challenging and are offered at all times throughout the day. After being a member at LA Fitness for several years, this gym blew away my expectations. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. I’m doing personal training classes and using the facilities (elliptical/ stair master etc). Love both. The gym is huge, there’s a bit of everything for you to do and the staff is awesome. It’s honestly the first gym I feel super comfortable in (I’m not like super athletic) but the environment is relaxed and very friendly. Plus you can’t beat the location. And there’s tons of parking
