Next Level Athletics celebrated its 16th year in Katy on Jan. 1.  Owner Rey Silva said the gym has seen a 30 percent increase in membership in 2015.

“We are the best-equipped small gym in the state of Texas,” Silva said. “That’s probably 90 percent of the reason why we’ve had the membership increase: the types of equipment, the facilities and the programs.”

The athletic training facility has 15,000-square-feet of space for mixed martial arts, striking programs, adult fitness, youth coaching and speed training. There are 20 certified trainers on staff at the facility.
