The Sanctuary Gym Friendswood - Friendswood, Texas

It goes without saying that this is a Christian owned and operated gym. They have a good selection of equipment and the environment is very upbeat.

During the signup process, I never felt conned or manipulated. They explained the prices and what the membership offered, but it was never a sales pitch.

I know enough people to be on a nodding/fist bump relationship, and for those I don't there's warm fellowship/ community atmosphere there.

The owner is one of the certified trainers, and is always greeting people and introducing himself to new faces.

The music they play is mostly Christian, and any secular music is always inoffensive. The only complaint I have about the music, is that I wish they played more music from my high school years like DC Talk and the Newsboys. 🙂

I've been a member of a few gyms over the years, but this is my favorite one by far.
If you are looking for a gym, then this is a great place to join.

God bless.

I’m happy with this gym. Pricing is great and staff is nice. The space is good and it’s not really busy so doesn’t feel overwhelming or cramped. Some of the equipment can be out of service or outdated but they have a lot of it so that’s not really a negative in my book.

This place is the best. Jonathan is a great guy and is always encouraging his members. He is always looking to provide value, whether it's adding a cold plunge, buying new equipment, or adding new classes - without a tiered membership or raising prices. One low, upfront, no hassle, upfront cost and you get everything... 27/4.

The culture of the gym is different than any I've seen. I've never felt pressured to sign up or keep my membership. In fact Jonathan offers a lot of things for free to just check them out (classes, workout sessions, entry). He really cares about people and the culture his gym embodies reflects that. I won't train anywhere else.

Check it out, even to just see what it's about, get a tour tour, and a free workout and see if it works for you!

I joined the fitness group classes at The Sanctuary Gym in November 2023, and I’ve had an outstanding experience with trainers Zack and Trent. They’ve been absolutely amazing by providing personalized attention to each one of us class members, adjusting routines to suit my individual fitness levels and needs. In the 3 month group class, I’ve received a MyZone monitor to track my productivity during class. The staff here are always friendly and respectful, creating a welcoming environment that makes working out enjoyable.

Last…. Today I got the Shirt and signed up with my kids! I’m excited to have my kids partake in this journey with me. Other gyms I attend do not provide training for my kids like The Sanctuary Gym. I’m especially eager to involve my kids and help them develop a healthy lifestyle from a young age!

Jonathan made a good gym. 24/7 access, plenty of equipment. The punching bags available was the clincher for me

Take advantage of this gym if you’re close enough. You will never find a gym like it I promise you. The people/ atmosphere cant be matched. Johnathan has the right machines. He understood the assignment!

This place is AWESOME! I haven't worked out in over 10 years so I was reluctant to get started again. I decided to stop being so lazy and go check out a few gyms and I found The Sanctuary in Friendswood. I AM SO GLAD I DID!! The gym is very nice and really big so it never feels overcrowded. The employees here are super helpful and make you feel very comfortable. I now work out 3 to 5 times per week! I have lost 25 lbs of fat and replaced it w muscle and I look and feel MUCH better. This is a wonderful place for anyone looking to get in better shape. THEY MAKE IT EASY.
