5 Reasons to Love SPENGA Montrose

SPENGA | Houston, Montrose

If you’ve been keeping track, I’ve been posting about my love for SPENGA Houston (the Montrose location on Westheimer) for a few months now. For this fitness blog post, I thought I’d make it easy and share some of my top reasons for loving this heart-pumping 60-minute workout.

• The instructors are amazing and will push you. I’ve found you can have the best gym and subpar instructors or vice versa. For me, it’s a winning combo to have a stellar gym with all the top equipment and the best instructors. My favorites at the Montrose SPENGA location are Roz, Nick and Skipper, but I can vouch that all the fitness coaches here are going to push you and give you a great workout.
• Working out with friends. SPENGA makes it easy to workout with friends. In fact, if you want to try SPENGA (the Montrose location) for FREE with a friend or two, just give them a ring at 713.588.2315 and drop my name (The Blonde Side or Jayme) and you can both work out for free. It’s called accountability and I love it!
• It’s for anyone. No matter your age or whatever else may be stopping you, SPENGA is a great workout for most people. I have too many knee and shoulder issues, but the instructors work closely with me for modifications so I don’t miss out or hurt myself. I’ve taken classes with people 15 years younger than me, 30 years older and men and women, so don’t be afraid to give it a go. Even if you haven’t worked out in 2 years – we all start somewhere. Remember that.
• It packs a punch in just 60 minutes. I love the setup: 20 mins on the spin bike, 20 mins on the strength floor (think TRX, dumbbells, abs, and more) and then 20 mins of yoga/stretching. Most of us stay busy, so knocking out a killer workout in 60 mins is more than ideal. We all have 60 minutes to spare at least a few times a week.
• The facilities. The SPENGA Houston location in Montrose is brand spanking new. The equipment is top-of-the-line and I love all the color coded aspects and decor (their BOSU balls are even the signature lime green — sorry, I’m a branding and marketing nerd!). The spin bikes are easy to set up, the strength floor has dedicated stations for everyone (so no fighting over the same weights) and the locker rooms have clean showers and lockers, so you can easily go before or after work or running errands. Again, no excuses.

Also, my advice to those of you planning on setting New Year’s Resolutions to get in shape and start working out more – what’s stopping you from starting right now? You don’t need the 2020 calendar flip to get motivated and begin making positive changes. Call SPENGA — or any gym that you think will push you and work you hard — and put in some work for the remainder of 2019. Even if you’re going to be busy traveling or have to do all the holiday planning and cooking – working out will help you destress and I promise you’ll be glad you jumpstarted your workout!

Remember to call and mention me (Jayme or The Blonde Side) for your FREE class (call 713.588.2315) at the Montrose location only.
