Recently reviewed from a new member: "I came to CrossFit Live Oak/ GymBowie about a month ago after growing tired of my existing Box across town. The location is what brought me in here, but I'm so upset I didn't come sooner. I was paying almost as much for half of the seand quality I feel like athletes get at my new "box." Pardon me while I geek out a little bit. Here are the differences I've noticed: 1) The FACILITY: This place is insane! Immaculately clean facility, its like being in a fancy gym in LA. My old gym had no windows, dirty floors, No AC (This place has air-conditioning!), and nothing like the time and thought that was put into whatever they did here. Apparently it used to be an old AA meeting facility, now its a for a different type of recovery! 2) The small class sizes: Some gyms put 15, 20, even 25 folks in a class. That's total crap. People have no idea what they're doing, you have to share equipment, personal coaching is non-existent, and its unsafe. Here classes are usually 5-10, and in the mornings even less. There are always multiple coaches around during bigger classes 3) The clients: This place is not filled with yelling, screaming, fire-breathing meatheads. Nor is it filled with ripped up half-naked chicks. The average client is a Dr. , lawyer, or nurse who you would enjoy having a conversation in or outside of the gym. People are really social and welcoming. 4) Lastly but not least, the coaching and the programming: I'm not sure who does it, Bowie, Michael, or Hannah, but whoever puts the workouts together makes sure that things are always changing, but there is a REASON why you are doing what you are doing. The coaches explain WHY a movement is important and what exactly the form needs to look like and what the end goal is. I feel like the communication is something I lacked at my last gym. Generally, this gym is for the professional that wants a high quality environment to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply not worry about what they should be doing fitness wise. The only reason why I give it four stars not is because the rates are fairly expensive, but I get a couples discount so its not that bad. I think honestly its well worth the price." -Angela Hagel

I had a wonderful experience at GymBowie. While passing through Houston I got a great workout on a Saturday morning. From the moment I walked in everyone was very inviting and accepting. The gym is extremely clean and the equipment is well cared for and I believe fairly new. Bowie is an excellent coach and I imagine that extends to the rest of his staff. He was very informative and hands on from the warmup to the post workout stretches. During the workout he offered well placed advice and technique critique while not being over-bearing. The workout itself can vary, but that Saturday workout was great for all levels of individuals. It feels as if they put technique and form above amount of weight and intensity, which I believe is very important with this type of lifting. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

This facility is not only know as having you go through the motions of exercises but teaches you proper technique to avoid injury, which is super imperative in maintain good overall health. Bowie, the owner, is very motivated to make sure the success of all his clients , also he teaches some of the classes and is a great teacher. Robert, is another coach there that teaches the fundamentals class that teaches all the basics of cross-fit ,which is very important and shows how you are just not thrown into movements. I would totally recommend it and the ambiance is retro fit and love the female bathroom / showers and female products for our convenience. Also there is a Smoothie Counter where you can make your own shakes.

Great facility with great coaches! I visit Houston quite often and am glad this is the first gym I happened to stumble into because I will be returning every time I am in town. The staff and owner are very personable and knowledgeable and the facilities are clean with plenty of equipment. The class sizes are very reasonable; they are also good with pricing and working with each individual situation. Coaches and different members have given me great pointers to work on individual technique for my lifts and gymnastics and I look forward to coming back for more. It is also in a great location! I highly recommend this gym.

Great crew! I travel a lot for work and I had to find a place that was good and allowed me to do my on programming while I was visiting Houston. I was happy to find GymBowie. I ended up doing one of their crossfit classes and then continue with my own programming. I am definitely going back there whenever in Houston. If you need a open gym in the morning, that's the place to go. There aren't many places in Houston that allow you to do that.

GYMBOWIE falls nothing short of amazing. I dropped in for a week while on vacation and I couldn't have had a better experience. The coaches are extremely welcoming and make you feel right at home. The owner, Bowie, is both positive and motivating and pushes you to the limit in a supportive way. The box is extremely well kept and offers a variety of snacks/drinks. If you are in the Houston area, definitely stop in and check out GYMBOWIE!

A very distinctive CrossFit box that has rapidly built a thriving community. True design and forethought is evidenced throughout including, the outdoor patio workout space, the luxurious changing facilities and the workout floor. A passionate fitness savant owns and operates this reclaimed Montrose property, and here you'll discover surprising member perks that take fun to another level. Being part of GB is a fantastic experience!!!

I came to Cross Fit Live Oak at the beginning of January. I had no experience lifting weights or doing any work outs past distance running. I am now on my forth week and could not be happier. The staff here works with me and has been awesome coaching me from the ground up. They are super friendly, motivating, and patient. The community vibe here is awesome too. Would highly recommend checking CrossFit Live Oak out.

This Box deserves more five stars! I was in town for just a few days so I reached out about drop-in classes and the owner was very responsive. I was welcomed in and made it to a couple of classes. This is a safe, challenging, encouraging, hardworking, inviting gym. Whenever I next have the pleasure of visiting Houston again, this is where you'll find me.

Dropped in while in town for a conference. Class was well run, coaching was clear, and the community was fun. There were clearly a bunch of regulars who care about one another and they made me feel included and welcomed. Would absolutely return if I'm in town again and imagine it would be a great spot if you're looking for a gym home.

A very clean and organized facility with experienced and knowledgeable coaches who know how to safely motivate/push clients towards their fitness/strength goals! This is a great change from the many bare bones, dirty, non climate controlled and old warehouse CrossFit gyms that are out there.

Awesome CrossFit gym! Amazing coaches, a friendly community, and top-notch classes. I’ve been working out here for the last 6 months and it has honestly been such a great experience. Really lucky to have found such a great place to work out with such a great community. Best hour of the day!

This has to be one of the nicest crossfit gyms in the city. It's one of a few to have indoor A/C, which is sometimes a must in the summer. Staff and instructors are great. If your in the market for a CrossFit workout you have to give them a try.

Dropped in while in town for a few days. Great facilities, great people! Very warm and welcoming, and all the fellow crossfitters were super positive and supportive. Hope to catch a WOD next time I'm in town!

Great place! The classes were fun and challenging and the instructors were amazing. It's very clean and one of the best gym experiences I've ever had. I had to cancel my membership due to old injuries.

A very well set up gym with great coaches and Crossfit programming. Everyone there is very welcoming and they really care about improving your technique and fitness. Highly recommended!

Great box set up, and vibe. The facilities are very clean and spacious, and members a really friendly. A great pleace to train if you're looking for a fun and supportive environment.

What a great CF gym!! I did a 1 week drop in pass & loved the programming. The facility is very well equipped, very clean, and great coaching. I'll be back when I'm in town.

Dropped in for WOD. The coaches and staff are really friendly and helpful. The box is really well kept and equipped. Everybody was friendly.

I dropped in this weekend while I was visiting from Austin. Great gym and it has AC! Anytime I am in Houston this will be my go to place!

Great community and great workout. Dropped in for Saturday session from out of town, and got a good sweat on - thanks for the welcome!
