My top gyms, trails, and studios in and around Houston. I've worked out at all of these places, and that is why I recommend them.
There is so much to do in Memorial Park. If you want to work on your pace, you can run sprints at the pacing course. There are running trails that go as long as 8 miles and great for upping your techinical running skills. There is also a 3.3 mile run...
