“this gym located in the Bellaire area is for those who want to work and get in shape. This is not the fancy gym like 24 Hour and Bally’s with the pressure salesman/ trainers.. The atmosphere is friendly and family like. All the staff knows what they are doing. There is a variety of work outs available including boxing taught by former Olympic and Professional fighters.”

I look forward to going there. When I travel, and need to work out, no gym matches mine. By Perry Spector

After having struggled with some personal issues for 5 years, my weight and fitness level had spiraled out of control and were a direct reflection of my emotional state. At 5’9 and 248 lbs, I had bottomed out and knew that I had to get control but was overwhelmed about where and how to begin the journey back to a healthy lifestyle . I realized that I needed the right tools to assist me and the first item I set out to achieve was to locate a gym and personal training program that could support me with my goals. After having gone to several local gyms to interview trainers and preview the gym facilities, I was disappointed. The environment of the gyms I visited made me feel intimidated and embarrassed about working out when I was so out of shape. Things changed for me when I walked into Hank’s Gym. Instantly, I felt that the environment was non-judgmental and supportive.  The owner Ken Richarson took  a personal interest in training me and was 100% focused on adapting a training schedule that fit my goals. Not only did Ken provide me with support on my fitness, but he also helped change my way of thinking about myself and my lifestyle choices. In addition, the other trainers and members provided me with constant support, encouragement and insight. Three years later, I am not the same person as when I entered Hank’s Gym. My physical presence is just a by-product of the changes that Hank’s has helped me achieve mentally. I am now strong physically and mentally, consider myself an athlete and my values and actions are aligned. I have lost a total of 112lbs and weigh 136lbs. Thank you, Ken and to all of the personal trainers and members in Hank’s Gym—you have all helped me rediscover who I am.” by Karla Miller
