Visited the Gilruth today to pay homage and celebrate the life of a co-worker, Stacey T Nakamura. We worked together in the space program for nearly 40 years. He was funny, talented and an exceptional engineer. God speed!

Private fitness center and event venue for the NASA JSC workforce. Offers a full gymnasium with a variety of fitness courses, both free and paid. The sports fields are well maintained and theres even a disc golf course.

This is a recreation area with a football/soccer field and a softball field. The fields seem well maintained. Bathrooms are clean, but did not have paper towels.

My wife and I visited the gilruth center for a holiday market in November and I have to thats one beautiful center. All the booths were just so beautiful and all the people were just so nice. They even had Santa claus there for pictures with the kids and thats just awesome. They had all kinds of gifts for sale and nice clothes for sale and on our way out there was deer grazing in the grass in the space centers fenced lots. So beautiful

I hate to say this because I dont want my beloved gym to get crowded, but the gilruth center gym is really fantastic. Lots of high quality weights and machines. Areas for bench, squat, and free weights. The cardio equipment is also really nice and high quality particularly the bicycles. Theyre the high end bikes with different courses that you can log into and keep track of. The gym is always clean and very nice and they do a great job of taking care of it

Nice retirement party in the ballroom.

I only came here for a small business conference, but it was clean and well kept. The gym was great, and AC was full blast, restrooms didnt smell, vending machines were full and the water from the fountain was cold. They had a few NASA themed items available for sale and a big playground outside. Id probably stop by again if Im in the area with my family and have a closer look at what else it has to offer. I wonder if its open to the public or if a membership is required. I live too far away though to look into it now.

This place was awesome. Even has a gift shop for good Nasa swag. If you are able to do the walking trail, I recommend it. I plan on visiting shortly after they reopen.

Great facility with plenty of quality equipment available. Well maintained: always clean and equipment functions as it should. Plenty of other spaces for purposes beside the standard workout: full sized basketball court, multiple baseball fields, soccer fields, rooms for workout classes, etc.

Review №34

This is a valued priced gem for select group fitness classes, especially Les Mills Body Pump. Im not a NASA employee, I just live nearby and my monthly fee for unlimited group classes is $22. Its a bargain. Their class selection isnt a big as at the Ys, but I use the facility regularly. One negative: Theyve not invested in enough hand weights. There are not enough basic 5 pound weights etc. The womens locker room is not fancy, but the water in the showers is hot. The Clear Lake community should be more aware of this facility.

They lie about your options, then if you try to cancel, they tell you that the only reason they allow cancellation is if you show proof of a medical condition or that you are moving out of the area. BUYER BEWARE!

Place to hold meeting, especially for NASA. The facility is showing its age. They should replace the building. Free parking.

Review №55

This review is based solely on the outside not the inside. First off, the directions were bad. This place is not easy to find. 2101 takes you to the side of NASA. Google maps did get it right when I used my phone so I suggest Only using your phone and not your car navigation.Second, the grass was ridiculously high outside. I was at a event were the pavillion was rented.Third, the restrooms were really bad - the doors did not shut at all. Only one door shut, the others seemed to be bent. Also, the toilets wouldnt flush and one sink, the water wouldnt stop running and the other side did not appear to work. II was very disappointed in this facility at this time and on this day which was 8/27/16

Review №71

This place has everything you would want in a fitness center. Its the place I always go to get my exercise. The only issue I have is that a lot of older people tend to workout here and they have a very bad etiquette when it comes to workout machines. They will do a set on a machine and then just sit there till they feel like doing another set rather than getting up and allowing others to get in a set. I have left this place due to that being the case. Its not always an issue but it does happen frequently. The staff never tells anyone about how to share the equipment. Frustrating at times and causes me to do less of my own workout at times.

Review №72
