HT Fitness

I’ll be honest, I’ve been here *once*, so take what you will from that. I was visiting family in Taylor and it was raining so I couldn’t do my usual run outside, so I decided to give HT Fitness a try. I used to have a YMCA membership in this town when that was open, and I totally loved it there. Based on my one experience at HT Fitness, they are running a much-​needed, very capable and organized facility.
The pros: Despite what other reviewers may say, this gym has more than enough equipment for you to do a well-​rounded routine. I found everything I needed to do my normal workout, including several different types of leg presses, bench presses, a massive number of dumbells, ellipticals, treadmills, lat pull downs, TV’s, and stuff I don’t even know what to call. I had a membership at 24 Hour Fitness when I lived in Dallas, and I found every type of equipment I used there at HT Fitness. The staff was very polite and courteous and helped me find what I needed. Though I didn’t attend classes so I can’t review their quality, I saw many people attending a Zumba class of some kind in a room next door. They seemed to be having a great time! I hear that this gym does boot camps, too. The place is clearly very popular, as there were many people working out when I went around 7pm. It’s also in the center of town, so it’s really easy to drive to. My favorite thing, though, is if you are a member you get 24 access to the facility.
The cons: It is small. There is very little room if you want to do exercises on the floor. It was pretty crowded when I went, though I never had to wait in line for anything. Also, staff are only on hand until 8pm during the week and 1pm on Saturday, but, like I said before, if you are a member you can go in at any time of any day.
I really hope this gym expands soon and gets a larger facility, because that really is the only limiting factor I could find in this gym. If I lived in Taylor I would definitely get a membership just for their fit camps and 24 hour gym access. It’s hard to find a gym that is reliable in how often they offer camps like that and offer those kinds of hours.
TL;DR: HT Finess has every piece of equipment and staff on hand that you need to get a good workout. It is pretty small, but that doesn’t prevent you from being able to get what you need done. If you are a member, you have 24 access to the facility.

This gym is super small. But the staff is friendly and they do the best they can with what they have. It’s nice to have a gym in Taylor. However, it’s too small for me and is extremely limited as far as equipment goes. If they ever expand their gym to make it comparable to a typical one ill be back, but until then I am choosing to commute to 24 in Pville for a measly 12 extra dollars a month. I can’t stand when I have to figure out how to accomplish what I came for because there is simply not enough equipment and most of the time there is a group of dudes using something I need to use as well. The locker rooms are the bare minimum which is doable but it creeps me out that it feels like the daycare is inside the locker room because there is no ceiling, just walls put up that make it seem like they just took a huge chunk of the ladies locker room and decided to section it off and call it a daycare. So yes, the size of the gym may be appropriate for a small town but I feel like a lot of Taylor’s residents may be commuting as well simply because its all we have and it’s subpar. I hope that as Taylor expands, HT does too.
