Best gym ever and best coaches ever. Learned so much from JECF. And improved my strength tremendously even though I thought I had plateaued 5 or 6 years ago.

James Hardin and his crew at Jet Engine have built an incredible community! I was in town for a family reunion and decided to sign up for a drop-in session, James could not have been more accommodating and friendly! The entire gym greeted me like I was an old friend and by the end of the workout I felt right at home. If I’m ever in town again I will definitely drop by this gym again. Highly recommend!!!!

Had a great drop in workout session. First time to workout here. Owner/Coach James, was great at instructing and making sure my form was correct. Definitely a great workout! Pushed me a little more that I thought I was able, but still within my limits. If you are needing a great gym, you will get results here. Thank you for the workout.

I've been going to this gym for about 6 months now, and it's had such a positive influence on my life. The owner/head coach is no-nonsense when it comes to safety, and does a very good job of scaling movements down to meet his members where they're at. Highly recommend!

Great gym with awesome coaches who really know how to push you but still make it fun. The workouts are always challenging and never boring, and they scale well no matter your level. The community is super welcoming and encouraging. People cheer you on and it feels like everyone wants you to succeed. I've been going here for a little over a year and have seen great progress in my fitness.

JCEF is an incredible place. It' so much more than a challenging workout. It's a place built on a community of folks encouraging each other, believing in one another, and it has the innate ability where everybody feels welcome. And the world needs a lot more of that. I am very glad I joined JCEF. The coaches are great and the workouts are fun. If you are looking for a new gym, check out JCEF.

Dropped into JECF three times during a week of work travel to Houston. Highly recommend! The gym is large and well equipped. The atmosphere is very fiendly and welcoming. Coach Lauren and owner/coach James were both excellent and knowledgeable. James was especially helpful examining my DU technique and offered some helpful tips to practice. He also offered some helpful advice on the bar. He keeps a sharp on on the people he's coaching and upholds the expected standards and lets you know when youre not, but they were both very complimenting when you do.
This isn't a "coddle me" functional fitness facility. The expectation is to work hard, listen to the coaches, and get a good workout in. You will appreciate being guided by their expertise, but you will have fun too. Egos get checked at the door and everyone was super nice.
Its a nice facility and wish I could have stayed longer and gotten a few more workouts in. I will definitely return if I come back to town.
The workouts focus on the day's metcon. This doesnt run as a strength portion/metcon portion type gym. The warmups are structured and thorough; possibly much more than some gyms, but they will get you ready for the WOD. I appreciated that since I was coming to the 5am when everything is feeling tight and sore.
So, if youre in Houston and in the vicinity I highly recommend dropping in.

I’ve been going to this gym for over 6 months now, and I seriously couldn’t be happier. The coaches are super friendly, know their stuff, and are always there to help. The group classes are fun and there’s a good mix to choose from.
One of the best things has been the friendships I’ve made along the way. The coach is awesome—always around, really cares about the members!
Highly recommend this place! 🫶🏽

I moved back to this area about a year and a half ago. Leaving my old gym was so hard..I thought I would never find a gym home like the one I had before. JetEngine quickly turned that around for me! Over the course of 9 months, I tried 3 other CrossFit gyms before coming here. I knew after my first class that this was the place for me!! James and his coaches are very attentive to all athletes. They will always lend a helping hand if you need a scaled down option as a beginner or injured athlete. If you wanna crush your goals and have a great time while doing it, this is the place for you. Come join us!!

I dropped in at this gym for a few days and am already looking forward to when I’ll be back. What a fun and friendly gym! Everyone was so welcoming and encouraging. I have struggled to make any progress on my snatches since starting CF 2 years ago and dreaded them every time but Coach James worked with me on my technique and I walked out of there with a PR, more confidence, and a better understanding of the lift. A wonderful gym, I highly recommend you stop by.

I waited until I had finished 4 months at JECF to write this.
TL;DR - Stop considering it and just show up here. It will change your life in a positive way.
Pros:
- James is a terrific coach who actually cares about the standard and about the movements. EVERY workout starts with a progression and a thoughtful conversation about scaling for those who need it. This is VERY important if you're new to crossfit or getting back into shape. He's funny- but he genuinely cares. This is the place for you and your ability level NO MATTER WHAT THAT LEVEL IS.
- The schedule is great. Lots of times and you can find one that works for you. James doesn't cancel classes even if it's just one person working out. This shows big time respect for our time and commitments and that's a big deal.
- The community is fun, accepting, and full of interesting and genuinely good people. This is what makes showing up easy when you would otherwise talk yourself into taking a day off. You want to see your team, you want to hear the jokes, you want to encourage the people who encourage you.
- Great equipment and plenty of it. Everyone takes care of the place and James is VERY good at keeping it CLEAN! This might not seem like a big deal- but it 100% is. It keeps everyone healthy and its appreciated.
Cons:
I genuinely can't think of any. This is just a great place.
I have been to several other Crossfit Gyms. This is, without a doubt, the best experience and the best outcomes I have had at any.
Last thing I will say - if you're reading this thinking "I cant do Crossfit" or "My friend told me crossfit is going to get me injured" I promise you... you have a misconception about it.
Crossfit will meet you where you're at even if you can't do one single squat and have never touched a barbell. You can push yourself with goal after goal to get where you want to be.
Just show up.

Such an awesome gym. Class is well organized. There are no worries with being in the way of other athletes or vice versa during a WOD. James has an amazing skill of connecting with athletes of any level. He’s also super understanding when you’re running a few minutes late.

I joined Jet Engine in December 2023 and have accomplished more in the last 4 months than I have in the last few years of doing CrossFit at other gyms. I’m a regular at 5am and really like the coach, James! He’s very encouraging, motivating, and dedicated to helping each athlete be better! All the coaches are awesome and I absolutely recommend this gym for all levels of fitness!

I dropped in for a week and had a great experience. The environment is extremely welcoming I felt like I had been a member for a year by the end of the week. The coaches are some of the best I’ve had so far. Within a week they helped me improve my technique on several movements making it well worth the money. Highly recommend!

After being apart of Jet Engine CrossFit since 2017, I can easily say this is the place to be. Great coaches, encouraging members, and good quality equipment that most gyms typically don’t have. Coach James shows up for you even on days you don’t want to show up for yourself. Programming is challenging with appropriate scaling options provided for ALL fitness levels. Come in and say hi!

What sets Jet Engine apart is the quality of the programming which methodically addresses all aspects of your fitness. In addition, the commitment to properly prepare each athlete for the day's workout through instruction and modification results in a challenging but achievable workout regardless of skill level. Plus, it's a great community that has fun together!

What an awesome CrossFit gym! I dropped in for two days while visiting family in the area, and I’m so glad I chose Jet Engine. Coach James was very intentional and helpful in improving my technique which resulted in a hang clean PR. The gym is very spacious and the members were all very friendly (and funny, it’s nice to be able to joke with strangers just a few minutes in!). And awesome equipment, I’d never been on an Air Runner before so that was an awesome experience…not sure my legs would phrase it that way, though. :) All in 10/10 - if I lived in the area, this would certainly be the CF box I called home!

I’ve tried many different methods and have gone to different gyms hoping to make that connection of feeling welcomed and not judged. No other gym has stood out to me like JetEngine. I was introduced by my good friends Vanessa & Jose. When I walked in I was welcomed by the other athletes there. What’s amazing about JECF is that no matter where you are in your weight loss journey, beginner or advanced, you will be equal. All the coaches are AMAZING! James is such an inspiration! He pushes you hard to be your best you can be! Rhonda and coach Maddy & Coach Becky are GREAT coaches too! Everyone here is top notch! I’ve made amazing friends through out my time here. I don’t think I will ever go to another gym. JECF is home and everyone at JECF are family now! If you’re looking for a place to sweat, get a good a** workout then look no further and come check out the crew at JECF. See you there!

Dropped in here for a couple days while I was on the road. Can’t recommend highly enough. I’ve dropped in at 3 other boxes around the area, and while I had a great workout at all of them, Jet Engine is in a class by itself. Well-maintained equipment, super clean space, friendly folks, and the coach (James) was outstanding. Will definitely be my go-to when I’m in the area from now on.

Where can I start! It is one of the highlights of my life. This is my first time doing CrossFit and first time even exercising after 5-6 years. And now I am so fit and losing weight the right way. James, Rhonda, Madi, Jamall, Becky are the best and awesome coaches ever. The members of the box are welcoming and are now like a family. No matter who is taking the class or coaching, they are always attentive and focus more on quality than quantity (my logo for life). Once you come here, your search for healthy lifestyle and exercise is over.

I’ve had the great privilege of getting to work out at dozens of CrossFit boxes and various other gyms all over the world and Jet Engine CrossFit is now one of my favorites. Great space and neat logo (based on its location near NASA and the airport where astronauts train in T-38s), but the best part was the phenomenally friendly athletes and amazing coaching. James literally taught me how to double under in five minutes after others and YouTube had tried for a decade!
