Updating my review, four years ago this month I joined The Box HTX. I continue to love everything about this gym: the owner/head coach Jess, the community, and the work outs (not all the time but most of the time ha). If you're looking for a wellness community to improve your quality of life with a bunch of big hearted humans, this is the place for you. Health is wealth and no better time to start than now.

I love this place! It's a little hidden gem in Spring Branch. The classes are great, I always feel like I gave it my all and everyone is very encouraging. Can't recommend this place enough

A Life-Changing Gem of a Gym

I’ve been training at this CrossFit gym for the past 10 months, and I can honestly say—it’s changed my life. This place is a diamond in the rough. If you’re lucky enough to find it, don’t let go.

What sets it apart isn’t just the workouts (which are challenging, smartly programmed, and constantly evolving), but the people. Jess is truly invested in your growth—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely wants to help you reach your goals and celebrates your progress every step of the way.

And the members? They’re the kind of people who cheer for you when you’re struggling, high-five you when you crush a PR, and make you feel like you belong from day one. That combination of expert coaching and a supportive community is hard to come by—and I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this CrossFit family.

If you’re looking for a place that pushes you, lifts you up, and helps you become the best version of yourself, this is it.

If you are looking for a place to workout at any fitness level with the best community ever, this is the place for you. I have been with TheBox for a couple of years on and off. I tried other gyms and it does not compare. I have always come back. The community and the attention to detail by Owner/Head Coach Jess is incomparable. She is the best. Come and check it out! Nothing to lose and everything to gainss 💪

The Box, TX no es un gimnasio únicamente es un lugar con una comunidad muy especial, los Coach están siempre al pendiente de todos, te ayudan te dirigen, te motivan a ir por el sendero de la salud y una mejor vida.
Mi esposo y yo asistimos desde hace cinco años y ha sido una experiencia excepcional! A mis 62 años, asisto con mucho entusiasmo he logrado un gran avance, gracias a toda la comunidad de The Box a los Coaches y principalmente a la Coach JESS, por tener un gimnasio de 10! 🤩👏😃🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏋🏻‍♂️

I’ve been a part of this gym community since 2012, the community and culture of the gym are what keeps me motivated. Jess knows her athletes and will modify for any and all needs; age, injury, mobility, etc. Her energy and encouragement is always on point.
The gym’s focus is on creating better humans and developing fitness for longevity - it’s never too late to start your wellness journey!!
Give it a try, you will not regret it!

I’ve been a member of this gym since January, and I’m so grateful to have found such a supportive community. Jess provides a range of class times throughout the week and that makes it easy to stay consistent. She brings energy, enthusiasm, and expertise in health and fitness, and you can tell that every class is thoughtfully planned with purpose. The workouts are fun. What really sets this place apart is the community. I love getting stronger and doing the hard stuff together with such an awesome crew!

I’ve been part of this gym community for a couple months. I was hesitant about joining because it look intimidating at first. Once I decided to show up, I found out that the environment is welcoming and everyone is friendly and supportive. Coach Jess works well with you if you need any part of the workouts modified due to medical/personal reasons. I’m glad I decided to join.

The box is a wonderful place full of beautiful humans. I have been a member of this community for almost two years. Jess really knows what she’s doing and along with solid programming and a group that encourages and doesn’t compete it’s a great place to get a good workout in and to meet like minded people

I have been at this gym for almost a year, and it has been an amazing experience. Jess has helped me to feel more confident in strength training and I'm stronger than I've ever been before. The community is very supportive and there's a lot of variety in the training so it's never boring.

Been with this gym community for 6+ years. Jess, the owner, is a great advocate for your overall health and wellbeing. She’s going to straight talk about what’s needed to achieve this and that may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But if you want a community that puts in the effort, commitment, and support for health, wellness, and fitness, then you probably came to the right place.

I had such a fun time working out here! Warehouse vibe with big doors that open up so lots of fresh air which I love in a gym. The trainers were great at giving instructions and keeping the vibes fun, while still giving me a great workout. Will definitely come back. Love the new owners!

This is my honest review. Was late and got called out in front of everyone on this. Accidentally signed up for the wrong class and also got called out for it. I never felt truly welcomed here.
Also signed up husband but due to busy schedule he was only able to attend one class out of that month . We were never given an option for drop in
Asked coach to apply it to next month for him since he couldn’t attend she said no.

Overall I had miscommunication and felt quite stressed out showing up to the class.
Lack of flexibility

Gym is small but workouts are good

This place is so welcoming and so much fun! The coaches are super nice and accommodating, the members are friendly and not intimidating at all. I never touched a barbell before joining The Box and the coach was very attentive and helpful with everything.

I started going here 07/08/2023. I’ve never worked out in my life but finally decided to commit to my health. I’ve been going consistently since then and have lost 18lbs!! Jess, the coaches, and the friends I’ve made here have made my fit journey all that more enjoyable! The community at the box is a unique group of people. I highly recommend coming to this gym if you like being around good hearts, like laughing, and want to push yourself to do and be better. I’ve learned that I’m more capable of things that I never thought possible. I’m forever grateful that I found this gym in the heart of Spring Branch!

It would be difficult to find a better group of humans than the ones that operate and attend the classes at this place. Everyone goes out of their way to make everyone feel included. There arent enough stars in the universe that would accurately show the greatness of The Box HTX.

I'm new to CrossFit and I don't think I could have chosen a better place to start. Coach Jess is amazing and I can't remember the last time I was so excited to wake up at 5 AM to do something. The people you workout with cheer you on and help you believe you can push your limits 💪🏽

After a rough year through a pandemic, I'm so happy to have found this awesome space! It's run by the most wonderful ladies that I have ever encountered, and everyone is so accepting and welcoming, it has definitely been crazy!

Not only are the people great, but the workouts are awesome, I have seen the changes in my body by just showing up, and the main coach (Jess) is great at pushing you while still offering realistic modifications for you if you need them!

Come and stop by, you won't regret it!

Been a regular member of HIIT gyms since 2018, and (by far) TheBox/Jess & Val stand a cut above the rest.
I trialed 5 or 6 gyms in Houston before deciding on The Box- what did it for me was the (1) extremely welcoming and supporting coaching staff, and (2) diversity in ages and fitness levels.
There hasn't been a single time I didn't feel welcome, and I'm always encouraged here to be the best version of myself.

Coach Jess not only pushes you to meet your goals but also to be a better person and contributor to the world in general. Within the past month I’ve made so much progress in my movements and weights. Coach Jess is the best at gauging your strengths and weaknesses and easily modifies workouts to meet your needs.

Overall positive and welcoming environment—highly recommend.

Warm, welcoming group of people who truly care about each other! Jess is a very knowledgeable coach who encourages you to improve your fitness wherever you are, and does it the right way. They have supported me through unemployment and a shoulder surgery (including modifications to get me back). I couldn’t imagine a better community or place to workout!
