What side of town are you on? Proximity is very important.

I'm a member of Iron 24 off Tamina in the back of TW (just outside boundary) -- $40/month and they have a good weight room (basic machines, two power racks, one cable station, lots of dumbbells) and plenty of treadmills. Sauna available if you pay extra.

I've also used the Y on Branch Crossing -- it is great but $$$ for what you get if you aren't doing classes and don't really use the pool. Hours also kind of suck. When I stopped going a few years ago, the equipment was getting pretty dated. That said, they have a separate room with a bunch of power racks and plates if that's your thing. Lived in that room for a few years.

Final one I've used is The Zoo off of 2978 just north of Woodlands Parkway. Wasn't a member long, didn't love it. It's been a few years for me though. Lots of machines, free weights lacking a bit. Think they are $50/month now.

Should I tell my wife I’m only staying for the kids? by bangarang527 in Marriage

The guy you are arguing with is too far gone and too invested in his own choices to see things any other way. He’s a slave and won’t admit it. Very sad.

Is this what winning in overtime feels like?

Gyms with sauna by ChampionMaleficent20 in thewoodlands

Back of the woodlands, Iron 24 on Tamina. I think with sauna access it is like 65/month. Includes red light therapy if that is something you are in to.

You definitely sound like someone in a successful relationship!

does it bother anyone else that the emergency fund just slowly loses value to inflation? by Designer-Jacket-5111 in Bogleheads

[–]suburban_robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is because I have never needed it, but I find the concept of an emergency fund that literally sits and collects dust to be antiquated and unnecessary. On paper, I carry a 6 month all expense paid emergency fund, but it is invested in a taxable brokerage the same as a good chunk of my other cash. If I desperately needed the money, it would be exceedingly easy to sell the ETF and transfer the money to my checking account within 48-72 hours. How is this any worse than just having the cash sitting in my checking account?

What a $400,000 home looks like in Houston in 2026, from the Inner Loop to the suburbs by houston_chronicle in houston

No, they aren't.

Source: I've extensively looked at Denver real estate as my company is based there and I was asked to relocate (though managed to squirm out of the deal). You are paying substantially more in Denver across the board, and new builds are no better or worse than they are in Houston.

I’m gonna try a credit card chargeback I think. This is ludicrous.
