Best Gyms In Houston

City Search has listed the best Gyms in Houston. However if you don't feel like paying a lot of money (costco has a 3 yr membership you can purchase at a great price too) a great gym is 24 hr fitness. They have many locations so if you move around or there is one near your house or work, it is very convenient. Out of all the locations, the midtown location seems to have the best reviews and is the one of the newer buildings along with the Galleria location. My favorite location is the Westheimer location off the beltway. It is almost never crowded and has towel service and  kid club hours on Sunday. It may not have the newer look or big TV's but I don't really care. I found that wearing a heart rate monitor allows me to get the most out of my workout by utilizing the Tanka formula for fat burning and just general calorie burning. Here is the one I use that has been rated the best in it's category: 
UPDATE:

Many new gyms have hit Houston. One inexpensive gym is Planet Fitness!

They have many locations and are priced as low as just $10 a month!
Many locations are brand new and have state-of-the-art equipment.

They just don't offer things like saunas and pools but their upgraded membership offers some pretty cool benefits such as: Massage chairs and Hydromassages and more.

If you plan on lifting weights it's best to have a good pair of gloves.

Best Movie Theaters in Houston

Image
My personal favorite movie theater in Houston is AMC Fountains 18 . They offer recliner seats and feature reserve seating and they even have a bar inside. Tuesday night you can get $5 off regular priced seating through AMC stubs membership . My second favorite theater in Houston is AMC Colony 24 in Sugarland . Movies before 12 PM are just $6 and they also serve beer & liquor if that interests you. Interested in eating a meal with your movie then check out the Alamo Drafthouse . The other decent theater is AMC Studio 30   which has a large array of movies and also offers $6 before 12 pm. You can always check online for special deals like a free drink or free soda as these add up your costs. Also if you are a frequent movie goer, it always pays to join a club like stubs for AMC or Regal Club which is free . What is your favorite theater?

Best Cafe in Houston

No doubt you have many choices when looking for a coffee house in Houston. If you want a cosy cafe with great ambiance and excellent service check out Caffe Di Firenze . Located in downtown Houston, it features a very beautiful interior and excellent choices of coffee, pastries and panini. I tried their frapaccino and it was heads above anything you would get at Starbucks. If you want a real kick, try their cold brew infused with nitrogen. It is extra smooth and it will keep you moving all day long. Make sure you try this great coffe house as it is the very best cafe in Houston !
