I love this gym! Truly a great atmosphere with wonderful and welcoming owners! The entire staff is kind and friendly. The weights and machines are well maintained and plenty. The best part is the 24/7 part, a luxury to workout at any time. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a new gym

I had the pleasure of working with Nate Bran from Illuminate Fitness, and I can’t recommend him enough. Over the course of just 3 months, I lost 27 lbs, and I attribute so much of that success to Nate’s guidance and support.

From the beginning, Nate was incredibly approachable and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. He provided me with a tailored workout routine to follow that was challenging, yet manageable, and he was always available to answer any questions I had along the way. Whether it was about the exercises, adjusting my routine, or staying on track with nutrition, Nate was there with thoughtful advice and quick responses.

What really stood out to me was how Nate never treated our coaching relationship as just transactional. He didn’t just send me a plan and leave me to fend for myself. He took the time to check in, offer encouragement, and make adjustments when needed. It was clear that he cared about my progress and wasn’t just focused on getting me through a program. He treated my goals as his own, and that made all the difference in my consistency and results.

With his help, I not only hit my weight loss target but also gained a better understanding of how to structure my workouts and approach my fitness in a sustainable way. If you’re looking for a coach who is truly invested in your success and provides more than just a workout plan, Nate at Illuminate Fitness is the one to work with.

This gym is the absolute worse gym to attend. I decided to attend for class pass for a session and it’s truly racist. The owner of the gym does not want anyone besides Hispanics and his culture at this gym. I have never had a horrendous experience at a gym. The owner decided to stalk me around the gym and literally followed me and monitored everything that I did. The owner then tells me that I am slamming the weights and that people were “complaining” that I was slamming the weights. This is a gym where people attend to workout. So please get a real job. I would not recommend this gym to anyone, as I proceeded to re rack my weights the owner then made me leave. Truly a racist and I wouldn’t recommend this establishment because they are truly unprofessional and lack proper management.

This gym is amazing and I can say I am not disappointed. The equipment has an old school feel to it on one side and a very updated new look on the other side. In one side you can be motivated by yourself in the natural lighting or thrive in the dark on the other side of the wall. There is lots of mirrors in this gym. The atmosphere is great everyone is there for their own reasons, but ultimately to get a good workout in. Hardly ever see anyone recording or making videos and if they do they are very considerate of everyone else. On top the equipment and the people… it’s 24/7! It’s not an overpopulated gym and I’ve rarely had to wait for a machine. There’s so many variations of the machines that hit muscle groups all slightly different, it’s pretty nice to have a preference or at least have that option. Multiple leg extensions, cables, fly machines, smith machines, hip thrust machines, pendulums, etc. I loved this gym and I’d recommend it to any beginner all the way to someone looking to compete.

Amazing gym and great for anyone looking to level up from a traditional chain gym to a more private tight knit gym community. The owners Nate and Jourdan always go the extra mile to ensure everyone is welcome and take the time to get to know everyone by name. Gym is always clean and equipment is well maintained. Atmosphere is electric and never intimidating regardless of your personal fitness level.

If looking for an extra push, the training staff is excellent and rates are extremely reasonable. Personal experience working with Nate has transformed both my physique and mindset when it comes to working out, healthy dieting and just feeling all around good about myself.

Definitely worth checking out!

Nate & Jourdan are the BEST!!! I’ve always admired their facility, even when I lived almost an hour away. When I moved to the Heights, I jumped at the chance to sign up. I train with Jourdan, and let me tell you - you haven’t trained until you’ve trained with her! Super hard work, but the results are tellin’ all the secrets! Super fun, chill environment with zero drama. Everyone is friendly, helpful & respectful. Do yourself a favor and sign up today!!

One of the top gyms in Texas. This incredible facility has every piece of equipment you need and top of the line coaching. The coaches are experienced and super knowledgeable and the staff are wonderful. A little personal note, I started activating muscles I didn’t even know I had until I had a session with Nate. Whether you’re looking for coaching or just want to train on your own, this is the gym to join. I couldn’t recommend this community more and will be visiting any time I’m back in town.

I’ve been an Illuminate member for just over a year now (which is crazy to think about) and I still love it :) The space is quite large, albeit things get very crowded during peak hours, but the members here are so courteous and focused on their own workout, to me, even during peak hours I’m able to move about the cabin just fine. Everyone I’ve ever talked to, even in passing, is extremely kind and welcoming. Nate and Jordan are both wonderful and spend a lot of time at the gym which makes it feel a lot like a community - the rest of the staff is also fabulous and makes a point to remember as many members as they can (which is sweet)

The best part to me is that they are 24/7 - my schedule varies and I travel a lot for work, so, to never have to worry about when I’m going to be able to work out takes a massive amount of pressure off of me. Thanks for being there and see y’all soon! :)

I think this gym was over hyped. It was so small and they said it was $85/mo. They did say they were expanding/doubling the space. I would try it again for that, but would also be curious to see if that also means increasing cost of membership. I was pretty disappointed, but ultimately, it has everything you would need. I didn't go at peak hours to know if there would be a crowd or not. B/c I went mid afternoon, it allowed for a great lift. I also really like the blue equipment. It has AC and good lighting - not super common for Houston Gyms.

Nate also gave me an AMAZING workout that's helping me learn how to get to the next level!

I've been going to Illuminate to workout for almost a year. It's easily the best gym I've ever joined. They have a great variety of machines and free weights and the place is normally pretty clean. One thing in particular that is nice that they have are the 2 deadlifting platforms. The atmosphere is good and people are nice. One thing I would recommend is noise cancelling headphones if you want to listen to your own music as the music can be loud some days (depends on the time you go, most days it's fine).

The only bad thing I can think of about this place is that it can and will get very crowded in the afternoon/evenings, but that's most gyms around the area, so it's to be expected.

To Nate and Jourdan, keep doing what you're doing. It's been great.

Joining Illuminate and having it be one of my home gyms was the best decision I've made. I love that its 24hr access and I appreciate that the gym is dog friendly (if your dog is well behaved.) Most people recognize my dog before they see me (and I'm ok with that). Nate and Jourdan are also very nice and friendly. Overall culture of the gym is fine, I have no complaints- most members here are respectful and nice but of course there's always a few outliers.

Great place to workout out, the gym is always clean and it is always looking amazing. Nate is always very polite and always around. The gym is by far the best gym within the loop, machines are always working and they target the muscles really nicely, they do not have the regular machines you see in other gyms, and there are plenty of racks and some powerlifting/weightlifting stations too.

Gym Closed? Illuminate Heights Said: Hold My Protein Shake!

From the second I walked into Illuminate Heights, right after my old gym shut down out of nowhere, I felt this super welcoming vibe. Huge shoutout to the staff and the wonderful owners, Jourdan and Nate, for that.

I gotta say, it didn’t take long for me to notice the personal touches Jourdan and Nate add to the place. Nate, for instance, remembered my name after just one meeting, something that blew me away and was definitely not the norm at my old gym.

Being someone who hits the gym pretty regularly, I was stoked to find a great variety of equipment here. Those plate-loaded machines have seriously upped my workout game, bringing in a fresh and challenging angle to my routine. Plus, the place is always clean, making each workout session a clean and healthy experience.

Big thanks to Jourdan and Nate! I can’t wait for all the awesome workouts that await at Illuminate Heights.

IllumiNate has been one of the most welcoming and friendly Gyms I have been to in a while. The owners Nate and Jourdan learned my name immediately when I first started going there. They are both super cool and helpful if you need help learning a new machine. I definitely fell in love with this type of camaraderie. I canceled my la fitness membership and joined with them! I’d rather support two amazing business owners than a big corporate gym.

I really enjoyed my time at illuminate. My trainer was very knowledgeable. She was however, not very understanding of my health issues and I ended up with a pretty severe injury as a consequence of one of our training sessions. I think the last straw for me was when she posted extreme political content on her public Instagram that she had encouraged me to follow. Nate and Jourdan are wonderful and supportive however, and that is why I am giving four stars.

We tried out this gym right after it opened last year since we live close by even though I had a membership at another gym. Nate and Jourdan welcomed us in and gave us a tour and trial pass. After a couple visits, I cancelled my other gym membership IMMEDIATELY. Nate and Jourdan took the time to actually learn our names and greeted us personally each time we came back. I didn't expect this, but they were so over the top nice and welcoming. My wife had an illness soon after we joined and could not come to the gym for several months. Nate and Jourdan ACTUALLY REMEMBERED and asked about her often! Not to mention the gym is very clean and well maintained with plenty of options for equipment. I have had gym memberships for 10+ years at various places, but none of them had an atmosphere like this gym. Nate and Jourdan are good people, and it's obvious they have attracted customers who value that mindset.

No frills and no gimmicks at Illuminate, which sets itself apart from the other “athlete” gyms in the area that charge outrageous prices, have ridiculous contracts, and waste your time as they push overpriced/useless products on you.

Illuminate Heights is an amazing gym! Not only is the equipment brand new, good quality, clean and organized, but the staff and owners are AWESOME! Nate and Jourdan are great people that are obviously passionate and very knowledgeable about fitness. Their enthusiasm and high spirits were contagious as soon as the workouts started!
I did a fitness program at illuminate heights over the course of 1 month. The program included workouts (at least 3 per week) and a meal plan. At the end of those 4 weeks, I'd lost 5% BODY FAT!!! That was incredible! And that had all to do with the workouts and meals that Nate and Jourdan thoughtfully curated. The intensity of the workouts was perfect for me. I am pretty naturally athletic, so many exercises come with ease to me. But Nate and Jourdan (especially Jourdan ;) ) would push me to go harder, give me more weight, etc., which was what I needed!! And although it was group workouts, it had the feel of personal training based on the way they both paid attention to the needs of each individual. Nate was also very helpful when it came to recovery and nutrition. Overall, GREAT experience. I'm sad that I'm moving and won't get to continue working out here. But 10/10 recommend!

There are a few affordable gyms with top of the line equipment in Houston... and none of them have A/C. illuminate has every niche (and actually effective) machine you can think of with 24hr access, good air-conditioning, and towel service. This is Houston and those things aren't luxuries, they're necessary.

Nate and the Jourdan are great, pricing is better than gyms with worse equipment and snobbier environments; this is a cool spot and a cool community.

I cannot say enough good things about IllumiNate. I have been a chain gym member (24 hr, LA, fitness connection etc) for years and was very hesitant to join a local boutique gym. Well after being a member for nearly 2 months, i can say it is worth the extra splurge. You can tell this gym was built and designed by fellow gym enthusiasts, like myself. I appreciate the environment the kind owners, Nate and Jordan, have created. The layout, equipment, and small details have all been carefully executed. The employees/owners take the time to know their members and always make an effort to say hello/bye as you walk in/out. I truly look forward to going to the gym not only for my workouts, but also for the people. Take this as your sign to leave those overly crowded gyms that could care less about your health and wellness. You won’t regret it!!

This gym is great! The equipment is top-notch. The owners really care about everyone and know everyone by name. It isn't too crowded (yet!), and everyone in there is working hard. It doesn't feel intimidating or like I have to avoid stepping on a whole camera set-up at every machine. I also really love the 24h access for when life sneaks up but I need to get in a lift. Great spot!

My husband and I absolutely LOVE this gym, almost as much as we love the owners, Jourdan & Nate! 😊❤️ We attended their previous gym and fell in love with how passionate they are about their customers, how smart they are when thinking about classes/ the right equipment/ the culture/environment! Not sure how they get it so right, but it is literally perfect.

We moved further away, so we tried joining other gyms, but it didn’t work. We appreciated even more about how the owners work to build a perfect environment that keeps their customers motivated for a healthy lifestyle. They are exactly what we look for when choosing a smaller/boutique gym feel.

The new place is massive and absolutely gorgeous! It was a no brainer that we would join again. This gym is great to smash your goals, while being in a beautiful aesthetically pleasing and safe/motivating environment. Plus they jam with the music! So thankful we found Illuminate! I have lost about 15 lbs since joining last year and looking to stay consistent with goals.

Without question, best gym option in the greater Heights area. It’s fresh and clean, doesn’t smell like boo boo. The owners are there all the time and are, legit, 2 of the best and most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They offer free trial to check out the gym too. I can’t another gym that will let you check it out for free anymore.
Highly recommend - worth your time to check out.

This is the best gym experience in the Heights bar none. Large gym, all new equipment, and a great staff with Nate and Jourdan at the helm. It’s not crowded due to oversold memberships like LA Fitness or 24 Hour either. You can access the gym after hours and it’s conveniently located near Shepard and I-10. I’m looking forward to many years to come working out here. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve only known Nate and Jourdan for a couple weeks, but they are some of the nicest, most knowledgeable people ever. They knew my name within like a day, and they answer any questions I have. All the members I’ve met there have been super friendly and motivating as well. I love this place so far!

I’ve never really been into gym life, but this place is amazing! The equipment is nice quality, gym is clean and Nate and Jordan have great energy. Both are so positive and welcoming. I may just become a gym junkie yet… 🙂
