The ability to first perceive — and then implement — a better way of doing things. Our vision is to help YOU visualize and achieve your health and fitness goals.
We will partner with you to design a program that goes beyond physical conditioning and guides you toward a holistically healthy lifestyle. Through Gym-Cypress, personalized programs are designed at an affordable rate to allow the highest quality fitness coaching to be accessible to all people.
Our team has helped thousands of diverse clients achieve health and fitness — beginners, professional athletes, pre-/post-natal women, tactical units, as well as cancer, cardiac and post-rehabilitation patients, and those listed as special populations.
Do you dream of having a healthy, fit body? Do you wish you had a proven system to help you achieve your goals? Dreams can only be achieved by creating and following a plan.
Work with the trainers at Gym-Cypress to establish goals and design an individualized program. We'll establish a baseline for your regimen, determine your current physical condition, and learn your exercise history and objectives.
Once a customized plan has been created, we regularly chart your progress by measuring your skin-fold composition, muscular circumference, blood pressure, heart rate, flexibility and overall strength.
We want to make your health and fitness dreams a reality.
Your body is a machine — just like the things you drive, fly, or ride. To live long, prevent hypokinetic disease, and postpone age-related illness, preventive maintenance is critical, and exercise is the best medicine there is.
Whatever your level, age, gender, limitations, wants or needs — whether you want to tone up, get better at something, break through plateaus, or just have a healthier, happier body — we have just the gym to get YOU there.
Gym-Cypress was established by our founder, who has worked as a personal trainer and strength coach since 1995.
We adhere strictly to the guidelines promoted by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
Now open at 17721 Huffmeister Road, Cypress, Texas 77429 — serving clients throughout the Greater Houston area.
