Cypress residents looking for a premier destination for fitness, family and community need to look no farther than VillaSport Athletic Club and Spa. The club blends luxury and quality to create a memorable experience for all.

Lamar Harris, general manager of VillaSport, describes the facility as an upscale, full-service health club with all the amenities found at a resort.

“It is a great place to spend time with the whole family. It is much more than your typical health club or gym,” Harris said. “Our members typically spend between three and four hours here a day.”

The VillaSport campus off Barker Cypress Road provides state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of classes in a resort-like setting. Amenities at VillaSport include indoor and outdoor pools, exercise classes, waterslides, steam rooms and more.

“We try to go all out. It is more than just a gym. We have the fitness floor but in addition to that, we have a spa as well where we offer manicures, pedicures, facials and massages as well,”

Harris said. “We have a total holistic approach to health and wellness instead of just exercise. You get the recovery and mental relaxation [here at VillaSport].”

VillaSport also reaches out to children as well. The VillaKids Rotation Program is available to each child member for two hours each day. There are many amenities at VillaKids, including an art studio, climbing structure, basketball court and outdoor playgrounds.

“When you drop your child off they are engaged in what we call rotations. VillaKids is divided up into several different sections. They have their own full court gymnasium, arts and craft studio, dance studio, three story climbing tower and outdoor playground and outdoor turf field,” Harris said. “Throughout the visit the children will rotate from one activity to the next. When the kids head home for the day they are coming home with several cool art projects, dripping in sweat and having a great time.”

During the summer, VillaSport offers an eleven-week summer camp.

“Summer camp is an amazing experience. The kids get dropped off at 9 a.m. and picked up at 4 p.m. so it is an all day camp. Parents can purchase it by the week or for the entire season,” Harris said. “The camps always have themes; this year it will be Camp S’more.”

Themed weeks for Camp S'mores at VillaSport include Beach Bash, Villa Olympics and Zany Zoology.

“During the camp we take the children on field trips to places like the children's museum, NASA and the zoo. Each week we have not only a different theme but a field trip as well. Since it is an all day camp and lunch is provided as well,” Harris said. “[Campers] will get a chance to enjoy pool and structured activities that are planned by the camp advisers.”

VillaSport is offering a one-day complimentary pass for up to two adults to come and explore the campus. Click here to learn more.

“It’s a pretty easy process. They will go online and register for that pass and bring that pass into the club. We will register them as a guest for the day,” Harris said. “We will have one of our ambassadors give them a tour and better connect them.”

Guests who have a complimentary day pass can take advantage of amenities such as the whirlpool lounges, swimming pools and getting in a workout on the fitness floor.

“There are very few health clubs that offer THE TRIP™​​ format, and VillaSport is one of them’,” Harris said. “Our cycling studios have been converted to feature a huge cinema style curved screen that includes a high tech sound system. The instructor takes them through a vividly creative world workout where you are taken underwater, upside down and it is like the coolest thing in the world. It is a fun way to get in shape.”

Harris said that guests are more than welcome to experience amenities like the pool or relax in the whirlpool lounge.

“When you talk about relaxation and recovery, you don’t even have to leave the locker room sometimes,” Harris said. “We have so many amenities in there and guests can experience it all when they come in on that one day pass.”

Harris said what sets VillaSport apart from other health clubs is their focus on family and community.

“That is really important to me being a dad and having a customer service background. We focus on having a community environment,” Harris said.

VillaSport Athletic Club and Spa is located at 12951 Barker Cypress Road, Cypress.
