Four Reasons to Fall in Love with The Houstonian Club

The Houstonian Club is one-of-a-kind fitness and wellness concept where members and hotel guests can work, play, eat and socialize.

A Luxury Fitness & Wellness Experience 

Located on 27 wooded acres in the heart of Houston’s Galleria area, The Houstonian Club is an upscale members-only fitness facility. Spanning over 185,000 square feet, it is a one-of-a-kind fitness and wellness concept where members and hotel guests can work, play, eat and socialize. Spread over three floors, The Club offers everything from fitness classes to meeting spaces, access to three resort-style pools, multiple dining options, personal training, massage, physical therapy, nutritional and dietetic counseling, car wash, and laundry services. 

New in 2023, members and guests enjoy an all-new Houstonian Club. The Houstonian Club recently underwent a $24 million renovation which included a complete overhaul of 70 percent of the facilities, including enhancements to the Club's lobby, rotunda, and atrium, which is now set up for networking and socializing. A new indoor turf area, named Next Level, features updated equipment and 4,100 feet of additional training space. Members and guests will enjoy an enhanced luxury shopping experience in the Club's boutique Shop at The Houstonian and two new dining options, The Kitchen and Refuel. 

Already recognized as a Platinum Club of America, a distinction only given to 1 of 20 athletic clubs in the country, the renovation provides a fresh and modern aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the 27-acre property, and light colors, including tan, white and blue, are found throughout the newly renovated space. Enhanced sound, lighting, and surfaces for group exercise and more gathering areas were the renovation's focal points.

There are many reasons to enjoy everything The Houstonian Club offers. We have curated a list of reasons to fall in love with one of the premier fitness facilities in the country. 

 

 

 

Over 180 Exercise Classes to Choose from Each Week 

Consistency is key when trying to reach a fitness goal, but that doesn't mean doing the same exercises every week. Different workouts add variety, but each new movement also targets a broader range of large and small muscle groups, improving strength and flexibility. The Houstonian Club offers over 180 different group exercise classes each week. Members and hotel guests can choose from varying levels of yoga cycle, kickboxing, weight training, barre, yoga, Pilates, and dance classes. Each class is taught by a highly qualified instructor whose goal is to think outside the box to help members achieve their fitness goals. 

Year Round Swimming 

No matter the temperature, The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa offers swimming enthusiasts access to its three temperature-controlled pools year-round.

The Sports Pool is a competition pool that offers anti-wave lanes, removable starting blocks, and return jets distributed throughout the pool for even heating and cooling. The Garden Pool is perfect for relaxation with therapeutic warm water and one lap lane, while the Resort Pool offers a 32-foot-long slide, rock shelf waterfalls, water volleyball, and basketball. The Houstonian Club pool area also boasts amenities, including four restrooms, one shower, and two baby changing stations. The Houstonian Club offers private instruction for members of all ages and swim instructor consultations to help evaluate which swim classes are the most appropriate for members' goals. 

Multiple Dining Options

Access to top-notch eats from multiple restaurants has made The Club a foodie's destination. Part of the property's $70 million renovation, The Kitchen is a gathering place where members can enjoy a hearty grain bowl, salad, or perfectly cooked piece of salmon indoors. Dining outdoors at the kid-friendly restaurant is also an option, as The Kitchen has two outdoor decks. Refuel is a grab-and-go restaurant perfect for a smoothie or light snack pre- or post-workout. Arbor Grill is open seasonally with a great outdoor location in the middle of all the action at the Club's pool complex. Hotel guests and members can enjoy a menu of new options, including burgers, salads, and grilled seafood. Cocktails and sweet treats are also available to enjoy poolside. 


 

Learn from Experts 

One of the many ways The Houstonian Club differs from other fitness facilities is that members and guests can learn from experienced instructors. Tennis, padel, and pickleball are taught by nationally and internationally acclaimed instructors. Members can take advantage of private sessions by certified personal trainers with multiple years of experience and certifications. Members and guests can also expand their fitness repertoire with everything from Pilates and Gyrotonic to youth and adult swimming with the confidence that their knowledgeable instructors are at the forefront of fitness and education.
