OTG Fitness opened the doors of its Pearland location on March 31, owner Fillipe Silvas told Community Impact on May 20.

The Overview

Unlike a traditional gym, OTG only offers personal training sessions. Clients have access to the gym and nutrition help as long as they pay for the training session and attend one session a week, Silvas said.

The Details

This is OTG’s second location with the first one opening in Webster in 2018, Silvas said. The new location plans to accept around 110 clients to maintain a smaller, more private feel. The location is currently at 70 clients.


The Backstory

Silvas said weight was an issue for him and his family growing up, and OTG is his way of ensuring people can feel comfortable and confident in pursuing their fitness.

“I grew up very overweight and my mom died from a health-related issue,” he said. “We like to provide a space where people who don't feel comfortable at traditional gyms can come to our location. It's smaller, it's more private, more personalized.
