As someone who had a bad relationship with gyms and working out from being a former athlete I would always DREAD going to the gym. My fiancé brought me to kinitro to try out and I have to say that this is the only gym that I miss going to when I’m not able to go. The staff is knowledgeable and so friendly! The over all atmosphere is light and fun and makes getting through a workout actually enjoyable!
Last year, I was looking to lose weight for my wedding but I had issues with consistency and not knowing what to do in the gym. My older brother and his wife recommended Kinitro to me and I did a zoom group class as my first session. John almost killed me but I decided to join.Pretty much the rest was history after that! I learned a great amount about weight lifting and nutrition from John, Julie and Vonida. They make you feel very comfortable and are very knowledgeable. The group classes are challenging in a good way and all the members are amazing as well!Im pretty sure if I ate better I would have lost a lot more weight by my wedding but this is a sacrifice I took since I love food lol. I posted some before/after photos to show results(my back rolls are gone >.
I attend weekly classes about 2 times a week that focuses on strength building and after 4 months I have noticed the most growth in my upper body. I had weak noddle arms that could barely tolerate hanging on a bar for a couple of seconds to being able to do banded pull ups and bench pressing weight I never thought I could lift. The trainers are very friendly and encourage you to push yourself. They also watch for proper form which goes a long way when your someone who lacks proprioception and has bad posture (aka me).I used to be someone who avoided gyms and preferred to jogging over weightlifting any day. However after being consistent with the classes at this gym the progress is undeniable. I am glad I gave it a chance :)
I’ve always been kind of intimidated by gyms, but I feel right at home here. Classes are intimate enough to where the trainers work closely with you to make sure your form is correct, yet flexible enough to where you go at your own pace. Everyone (members & trainers) makes you feel welcome!
Kinitro Fitness is a great gym, with all the equipment anyone could want. I highly recommend!!
Its such a great atmosphere. The trainers made me feel so welcome and the people there are some of the best youll meet. Everyone is so encouraging and the training is always challenging in a fun way, love this place. I would recommend It to anyone who is looking for a great gym atmosphere that will make you excited to go every time !
An excellent facility with a team of amazing, dedicated people at the helm! The trainers are seasoned experts who genuinely care about helping clients reach their fitness goals. The workouts themselves are fun, challenging, and creative. And in the time of COVID, they even offer Zoom classes multiple times per week so clients can choose to exercise from home (shout out to my trainer Vonida)! The Kinitro Fitness team is knowledgeable, passionate, and constantly elevating their program 💪
Saw julie, and she fixed me up good!Clean space and friendly folks!
Great gym, where every member feels like they’re part of a family! Powerlifting, strongman, and circuit training can all be done here.
I had a membership to one of the larger gyms in the Houston area, but decided to join this this gym when businesses were allowed to open again amidst this pandemic. Theyve been enforcing a lot of sanitary and safety standards to keep the gym as clean as possible.I had a membership to one of the larger gyms, but I felt uncomfortable with the amount of people in there as well as the number of people not wearing masks during the workout, but I digress.Kinitro has the option of signing up for just the gym, or signing up for the gym as well as coach-led classes. I signed up for the coach led classes because like a lot of other people, I was complacent with my workouts, so I never pushed myself. With the coach led class, they want you to succeed, so they correct your form and the workouts change each class.Id recommend the coach led class because for me, it just makes it easier to not think what I should do for my next workout when Im working out on my own.
Kinitro is a great gym with even better instructors. John the owner and primary trainer is generous with advice and the entire gym is very focused on helping you grow stronger while avoiding injury.I highly recommend the gym if you are new to strength training or if you are an old hand. I never was bored with the workouts of the day and could always count on the trainers giving me a great work out.
Clean gym with all the equipments you need for your training. It’s also probably one of the only gyms I have seen in Houston that is cautious about the pandemic and enforces wearing mask.
When I was finally ready to work out again after coming off a major injury, Kinitro Fitness was the first place I tried, and I am so glad I did. Chad, Julie, and John are awesome! They are just the right mix of encouraging but also push you. They are very patient and work around my injury to help me rehab. The environment is very welcoming for all skill levels and the class schedule is awesome. I look forward to seeing how much progress I make over the next few weeks and months.
First and foremost, if youre looking for innovative workouts tailored to your specific needs this is your gym! You can tell that the trainers here really want to get the best out of you and push you to your limits. What separates Kinitro from the rest, is their geunine enthusiasm and care for each member of the gym. They are constantly checking on you ensuring that you are not only meeting your goals, but there youre happy with the workouts as well. I play basketball a few times a week and wanted a program that worked on my explosiveness and agility. After just the first week I can already feel the difference on the court. John has been an awesome trainer throughout the years, very informative and knows his stuff. I highly recommend this gym for the athlete looking to go beyond their limits and be the best version of themesleves as they can be.
If youre looking for friendly people, modern equipment, and a very clean facility this is the gym for you! Not overcrowded and smelly like other gyms in the area! A high end gym without the price!
I enjoy the fitness community here
Good ppl and great workout to unwind and focus on yourself
The great thing about this gym is that they offer classes which covers about 1 hour work out session with the instructor with a list of exercises that are to be done in a timely manner. Now this can be intimidating because for someone like me I have a hard time keeping up with workouts where I get timed and I always find myself constantly taking breaks to prevent myself from passing out. John is really nice about making sure that we have correct form rather than doing things quick and if he notices that were struggling he makes sure that we take it slow and pace ourselves to prevent injuries.Also really like how he incorporate games to make the workout more fun and challenging forcing us to use our heads to think fast while reacting with our bodies. Its been over a year since Ive attended this gym and Ive lost about 30 lbs and gained a healthier body.In my honest opinion I believe this is the best gym anyone can ask for.
I reached out to John about 6 months ago with a goal in mind and its been the best decision I ever made. Kinitro Fitness is more than just your typical gym and Im proud to be a part of it. Ive never lifted weights before and John has been there step by step to show me what to do correctly and what works for me. Personal training with John has helped me in so many ways. Im slowly becoming more confident in my abilities to do the workouts and it helps every time John will stand there and say you can do this, lets go! There are days John will jump in and work out with me and that can make any newbie like me feel awesome! No matter what stage Im in, John has checked in to keep me on track and even on days I need to talk it out, we sit down and reevaluate. I cant say youll get that anywhere else and everyone you come in contact with at Kinitro is welcoming. Ive been pleased with everything Kinitro Fitness has to offer and seriously be the beast. Be great because when youre here theres a whole group of people ready to support you!
Amazing place to work out. The owner and instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable but are also super nice, as is pretty much everyone who works out here. The classes are challenging but fun, and the boxing class on Sunday mornings is amazing!
I have a gym at my apartment complex, but I choose to go here when i exercise! I love this gym because everyone is so friendly and the environment is very welcoming, no matter what level youre at.Also, the trainers are amazing! Youll be in good hands! For example, I have scoliosis, and Julie (a trainer) recently showed me a stretch to help the side of my back where the muscles are shorter and tighter. They really know what theyre doing.TL;DR: Love it, so friendly, nicest and most encouraging human beings on the planet. Very family friendly! Come work out! :)
The first and ONLY place that I needed to try out when looking for classes.. I did my first day, and was decided then and there that this was the place for me. Not only are the trainers amazing, but the people who work out here are very friendly and welcoming as well. Thank you!
Ive worked out at many large gyms and as someone who is sort of out-of-shape, Ive always been intimated... by everything. What am I supposed to do with this? Do I lift weights or do I run? For how long? How many weights? How do I lift weights? I eventually quit going to those gyms after month or so, or after Ive almost injured myself. So when a friend recommended I try Kinitro Fitness, I was skeptical, but I tried a Kinitro Warrior class. John, the trainer at Kinitro, walked me through the process of how to properly lift and take care of myself while working out. He is great teacher and has helped me through my struggles in working out. He showed me how lift correctly and lets me know when I need to push myself or when I need to take a break. His gym is really nice with a comfortable atmosphere, and since Ive been going, its always full of nice people. I love Kinitro Fitness, and I definitely recommend anyone at any fitness level come in and give it a try!
This is a very functional gym for all levels of fitness! Whether youre first starting your fitness journey or have been living a fit lifestyle your whole life, youre guaranteed to find the right equipment and routine that will help you reach your goals! It is also a great bonus that the owner is motivational and will push you to your limit, and then work on pushing you to get to your next limit. This is definitely a place worth trying! Come see what it is all about!
Its always tricky to find a gym you can drop in when traveling and get your workout done. Everything seems to be either 24 hour fitness, where there arent any weights, or crossfit style where you have to take their class.Kinitro is neither of those, and better than both. Everything you need to get a good strength workout, as well as the floor space to do any mobility, stretching, sled pushing, etc that you might want to do. Or you can take their classes, which I cant comment on since I didnt participate in them.But I can say its a first rate facility with really nice people who know their stuff and love training. Highly recommend.
I’ve been a member at a few different gyms but Kinitro Fitness by far has been the best. John and his knowledgeable staff will work with you to achieve your fitness goals. The facility and equipment is always clean and organized. I have throughly enjoyed my fitness journey at Kinitro as it has helped me get stronger physically and I’ve made some great friends along the way!
The staff here at this gym makes working out fun! John is very knowledgeable about the mechanics of working out and explaining why we do something and what the benefits are. The workouts you do here translate into helping you accomplish tasks outside of the gym! John will motivate you and push you to be your best.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS GYM!! I had been looking for a good gym for a while that was the real deal and had people who would show you how to use all the equipment properly (because I had no clue how to), and Kinitro is better than what I had even hoped for. The classes are tough and will leave you sore, but in the best way. I started going back in August and go Monday-Saturday. Its always fun and after a long day at work I actually look forward to going as it always lifts my mood and helps me burn off some stress. I also sleep much better at night now. The trainers are fantastic, very kind and patient and good teachers. Even when Im out of town and cant make it to their gym they give me modifications that I can do elsewhere and I feel so much more confident moving around any gym now, because I actually feel like I know what to do! I cant say enough good things about it and highly recommend anyone to give it a shot, you wont be disappointed.
Enjoy working out with friendly people, in a motivated environment, with expert guidance, and around all kinds of state of the art equipment? Do you also love getting your favorite tapioca from the best tea houses after a great workout? Okay maybe that last bit isnt exactly the healthiest upside, but if youre looking for an all around excellent fitness experience in the middle of Chinatown, then look no further!John (Owner) has been working with me for years now, helping bring fitness and personal health back on track in my life. As your teacher/trainer you can expect him to give you his full attention whenever necessary. When it comes down to it, it doesnt matter what the goal is (losing weight, gaining muscle, increasing endurance), all it takes is working with John and I can guarantee youll get there.Membership at Kinitro offers you access to some great equipment/new gym throughout the week, bootcamp/group fitness sessions, structured workouts, and weekly special programs (Yoga, Boxing, recovery, etc). Personally I love that the workouts change day to day and are literally always keeping me on my toes. If youre looking for a great fitness experience in the middle of Chinatown, come join the family!
Fantastic Gym! John has helped me on a physical transformation and Im beyond grateful for his training. I feel great and the training is always a challenge and the environment and overall feel of the gym is great!
This gym is the bees knees! I love the variety the boot camps and workshops provided. Everyone is so nice and helpful!!! John really goes out of his way to make sure he understands your goals and does his best to help you get where you want to be.
Awesome gym! wide range of equipment, a lot of which you cant find in a typical gym. The John the owner, and his awesome group of staff/trainers are also super friendly!
Great facility, Great Boss!Awesome for those who want to get back into fitness or those just starting out. John will pace you and drive you like a mule to do your best!
All skill levels are welcome! Very supportive environment for all ages! Every workout is a challenge!
I was never a fan of the small gyms. Id always gone to 24Hr or LaFitness but Kinitro really changed my mind. The bootcamp classes keep it interesting, its always challenging, different and its a total body workout. Of course theres also open gym if you want to do your own thing. For me personally, Ive seen results in just a matter of 2-3 months vs. working out for 6+ months at 24 (and I used to have personal trainers working with me).Everyone there is really nice, equipment is clean and a lot of it, you dont see at a normal gym. The owner takes the time to explain how to use whats in the gym properly. He also provides supplemental services such as physical therapy through another professional and has this machine that measures all your fat, muscle, whatever, you name it, in your body and how much more you need to lose.If I didnt have Kinitro, I would probably only see the inside of a gym once a week. This place and the people, continue to keep me motivated to keep coming back.
This place is so good that I would want to keep the knowledge about this jewel to myself and 5 stars is too low rating in my opinion.
Great environment for beginners and advanced users alike.Clean and orderly gym with great classes and instructors that help you every step of the way.
Very good place! Fantastic Trainers and workouts. Would recommend this gym!
Came here to destroy legs on leg day. Can confirm; Legs appropriately destroyed. Cannot walk for a few days. Amazingly effective workout routines! Signed up immediately!
The owner and staff are awesome and friendly. One of the most tight knit gyms Ive been to. :)
Clean facility, everything is in order and the environment is very friendly. Classes are challenging and dynamic. What more do you need?
I dont like working out. Its intimidating to go alone a gym when you dont know anything, and its hard to stay motivated to keep going even when you do. Its just. not. fun. Kinitro changed that for me.After trying 24 fitness and hating their impersonal money grubbing corporate lies, trying a personal trainer only gym and going broke, I found Kinitro to be the perfect combination of knowledgeable trainers, personalized classes, and a great community of people who are not only friendly and supportive, but super fun.I have been trying to work out for 10+ years on a consistent basis, and failing. Try the classes, meet the trainers and people, and youll see why this is the first place thats gotten me to not only consistently WANT to work out, but to enjoy it as well.
It’s a pleasure to write this review of Kinitro Fitness! After meeting with John and attending one of the exercise classes with my father, I have every confidence in entrusting Kinitro in guiding my father (in his 60’s) along his fitness journey as he works to improve his overall health and mobility. The format of the classes are similar to the gym I attend in San Diego, so I know that the fitness program works and delivers results. As I check in with my father as to how everything’s going, he has nothing but great things to say about the gym, John, and the other trainers. I also appreciate the patience and care that Kinitro demonstrates when helping my father, a newbie to fitness, discover how fitness can be fun and even allegorical in overcoming the mental and physical obstacles that we face in everyday life. Also, I completely love the fact that this establishment is based in the middle of Houston’s Chinatown! I’ve always felt that we of Chinese ethnicity don’t focus enough of health and wellness at an early-enough age, and we definitely shouldn’t just wait until old age to begin thinking about starting Tai-chi.
Best gym around! Awesome equipment and lots of things you wont find in a typical gym!
Looking for an exciting workout or an awesome place to get in your own workout routine? This is the place for you! I started going to Kinitro about 6 months ago and I love the environment, especially in the brand spankin new facility in the heart of Chinatown. My schedule is very action packed, so John offers class packs for those that cant commit to the monthly membership model. From personal training to bootcamps to yoga to boxing workshops, Im sure youll find something that suits your needs. Theres a wide variety of new workout equipment but I think the people here is the big selling point for me. Id always choose a fun place with good energy and no judgements over a typical gym any day! This place is also a great place for families so feel free to bring the kiddos along. Come sweat it out, your first visit is FREE AND you can refuel right after will all the tasty eats around there!
Kinitro Fitness! Ive been going consistently for about half a year and its been amazing. Where to even start describing Kinitro..Lets start off with the staff. John (the owner) and his staff are experts and you can definitely tell by the way they explain the benefits of each workout. John focuses on form to ensure Im doing the work out properly without injuring myself. Even after half a year, John still keeps an eye on my form and corrects it when I forget certain details or lose my form when I get tired. I also goto Kinitros boxing class every Sunday which is led by another instructor. The boxing instructor, whom is also a professional, concentrates on technique and skill. The same theory applies to boxing as to the work outs, form and technique is superior to the numbers. It makes things much less intimidating for a noobie like myself. I know if I wasnt at Kinitro, I would try to lift similar weights to the guy next to me just to keep up, but ultimately would end up injuring myself due to improper form. The numbers climb fast with proper technique.The equipment here is top notch. You can definitely tell by the large pins and thick welds (a trait of a design engineer to inspect things like this) that this equipment is safe and built to last. They look intimidating to someone who hasnt stepped in a gym before but John and his staff definitely eliminates all of those feelings.John is dedicated to Fitness and his members. Many smaller gyms Ive been to, the owners are never around or cant be contacted. John makes sure hes there every step of the way, in and out of the gym. Hes on your butt 24/7 or gives you the space you need depending on the type of person you are. He caters to each individual person rather than treats his customers as a number.Great place!
Been working out with John for a couple of years now and learned so much from him and Ive definitely achieved the gains Ive been trying to obtain. Now that he finally has the facility he dreamed of and the equipment necessary to help people achieve their fitness goals, I had to join it! Everything is new and clean and Kinitro has all the equipment needed to get a great workout in. Hes got plenty of squat racks (because you shouldnt be skipping leg days!), turf with sleds, ropes, punching bags and more. Kinitro also runs awesome boot camp classes (mon thru sats) for those who love that competitive motivation and workshop classes ( yoga, boxing, etc) on Sundays. He also has this device that measures your body fat percentage and it gives you the break down of which area you need to work on and if youre a person who relies on numbers and statistics to measure your gains, this is perfect! But seriously, the best part of Kinitro is John, because he always goes out of his way to develop a personal relationship with you and help motivate you to achieve your personal fitness goal. But enough reading; GO CHECK OUT THE GYM AND GET FIT AND HEALTHY!
Everything you need.
