Personal training in Friendswood, TX.
Not just a gym. A daily retreat.
For the executive who treats the body like a portfolio. A private alternative to chain athletic clubs — ten named coaches, the named clinical bench, the recovery suite — programming strength, recovery, and longevity against the labs Dana reads. Clinical services are available through Dr. Chaudhari at Elite Aesthetic MD — an independent practice on-site — when clinical review is indicated. One roof. New members welcome — tours daily. The destination club for the Houston south exec corridor: Friendswood, Clear Lake, Pearland, League City, Webster, Bay Oaks, and the NASA / JSC belt.
A trainer who programs against your panels. Elite Aesthetic MD next door reads what your trainer measures.
The named practitioners on your floor and in the building. WEF coaches, cellular health, behavioral wellness — and Elite Aesthetic MD on-site when clinical review is indicated.
Imani Lowery
Programs the floor. Owns which modality earns a place, in what order, against which member panel. On the floor most weekdays.
Dr. Swet Chaudhari, MD
Medical Director of Elite Aesthetic MD — his independent practice on-site. Available for clinical consultations when members need prescription-based or clinical review.
Dana Kantara
Reads the labs every quarter. The marker that shifts becomes the protocol the coach programs against next block.
Najla Crawford, LPC
Active Texas LPC. Holds the cognitive room when the load on the floor isn’t the load that’s actually wearing on the member.
How we train
Programmed against your biology.
Personal training at Wellness Elite Fitness is the strength side of an integrated program. Coaches read your cellular health panel from Dana Kantara, your DEXA scan from a partnering body-comp clinic, and the recovery markers from the wearable you already use — then program against what the data says, not against what a template would suggest. The block adjusts every quarter on actual numbers.
Sessions are 60 minutes on a Panatta + Atlantis + Watson floor. Coaches sequence work against your training week so the recovery gym in Friendswood, the panel review, and the strength block stack rather than fight each other. Membership includes the strength floor and MetCon classes 2x/week; PT packages layer on top for members who want the 1:1 layer.
The bench
Hand-picked, by design.
A small bench, hand-picked. Photo headshots and full bios are added as each coach finalizes their public listing.
Imani Lowery
Imani founded Wellness Elite Fitness in 2019 to build a wellness facility that programmed strength, recovery, longevity, and nutrition as one club — not as separate hobbies sold by separate vendors.
Two decades of training experience. On the floor most weekdays, writing the protocols, and meeting every new member at their first consult. New members get walked through by Imani directly.
Nia
Members training for the way the body reads in clothes and the way the markers read on paper. Both rely on the same panel; both reward the same patient block.
Travis M.
Powerlifting roots. The technique pass comes before the load every block, every cycle, no exceptions. Setup, brace, bar path, bar speed — then weight on the bar.
Amber Anderson
The member coming back from injury, burnout, or post-surgical work. Reps held below ceiling; volume built across months, not weeks. The recovery suite reads the work, not the other way around.
Billy Machupa
The strength bench plus recovery awareness. Reads the panel and the recovery cadence before programming the next block; coaching by appointment around the block.
Member-only by design
Why membership first.
Personal Training at Wellness Elite Fitness is sold only to members. The reason is structural: PT works when the coach is reading your panel, your DEXA, your recovery markers, and your last block — and that signal compounds across months, not sessions. Walk-in PT can not do that. Membership unlocks PT package add-ons, MetCon classes 2x/week at no additional cost, and the rest of the club that makes the strength block actually compound.

What separates a bench from a staff list.
The value a trainer-led studio cannot deliver no matter how good the coach is.
Your trainer reads your panels — and Elite Aesthetic MD is next door.
A marker drifts. Dana flags it. When clinical follow-up is indicated, Dr. Chaudhari at Elite Aesthetic MD is on-site — an independent practice steps away. Imani re-blocks the week. The coach you sit with on Wednesday already knows.
Ten coaches. One member. One quarter at a time.
A power phase is not a postpartum rebuild. An athletic-return block is not a hypertrophy phase. When the block changes, the right coach is already on the bench — not waiting for the wrong studio to refer you out.
A coach in your phone at hours the studio is closed.
Twenty-four-hour SMS line to a programmed coach. The Sunday-night question about Monday’s session, the Tuesday tweak on a back twinge, the protocol adjustment on the drive home from a stress week. Not available elsewhere in the 20-mile radius.
183 verified Google reviews. 4.9 stars.
The community is the modality you cannot walk in and buy. The members who became members here mostly stayed — the strongest signal a social wellness club can give.
Common questions
Frequently asked.
Do I need a membership for personal training?
Yes. PT at WEF is member-only. Membership unlocks the strength floor, MetCon classes 2x/week, recovery suite, and PT package add-ons.
What does a PT session cost?
Pricing is set on the printed lobby tier sheet and reviewed at consult. We do not publish per-session prices on the public site; talk to us about which package fits your goals.
How often should I do PT sessions?
Most members on a PT package run 1 to 3 sessions per week, programmed against the rest of the training and recovery week. Atlas holds the cadence.
Can I bring a guest to a PT session?
PT is a 1:1 service; guests cannot share a session. Members do get 3 guest day passes per year for the gym floor — read the day-pass policy.

Where to start
Take the Path Finder first.
Five minutes. Your goals, symptoms, and history mapped to the right person — Dana Kantara (cellular health), Najla Crawford LPC (behavioral wellness), or a referral to Elite Aesthetic MD when clinical review is indicated — the right labs, and the right modalities. Atlas follows up within the hour.
Take the Path Finder →Member intake forms
Or fill the standalone forms.
Fill them online or download the PDFs. Reviewed by Dana Kantara, MHS (Cellular Health Expert), who translates the relevant signal into a programming brief and routes it to your assigned coach. Clinical labs can be separately reviewed through Elite Aesthetic MD when prescription-based or clinical follow-up is indicated.
Wellness Elite Fitness is a wellness facility, not a medical provider. Forms are reviewed for programming purposes; anything outside reference range is referred back to your physician.

“I had been guessing for years. Two DEXA scans in and I knew exactly what the strength block was producing and what was not. The plan finally made sense.”
