Active Lifestyle

Along with many service-rich amenities offered at University Place, location to the surrounding areas is important to residents and their families. University Place is located in the southwest Houston area inside Beltway 8, offering convenience to major Houston roadways for outings, shopping and entertainment.

Located on the same campus as Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital which features units specially designed for seniors, everything you need for routine health care or emergency treatment is right outside your door.

Also located on the same campus, residents enjoy a free membership to the HBU’s Bradshaw Fitness Center where they can take part in indoor swimming, state-of-the-art fitness equipment, aerobics classes, personal training and more.

Bradshaw Fitness Center Membership

As a University Place resident, you’ll receive a complimentary membership to neighboring Houston Baptist University’s Bradshaw Fitness Center – an 80,000 square foot recreational complex for staying active and having fun.

The Bradshaw Fitness Center offers a variety of programs for maintaining high levels of personal fitness and staying active that will keep you healthier and happier than ever before – not to mention, in good shape!

In addition to having full access to these fitness programs, the Bradshaw Fitness Center also offers a bevy of therapeutic services for people of all ages, including seniors. These services help to maintain a healthy balance between mind, body, and spirit in the individual, ultimately leading to lifelong health and wellness.

For those who prefer to exercise in the convenience of their own home, group exercise classes are also offered at University Place with a licensed personal trainer and a yoga instructor.

Houston Baptist University

As part of the Memorial Hermann family, University Place partners with Houston Baptist University (HBU) to provide access to cultural and recreational services on campus. University Place residents have special privileges that allow them to attend lectures, audit classes, view art exhibits, and make selections from the library all on campus.

Through this partnership, University Place residents have unique access to a plethora of vibrant campus amenities that make it possible to spend more time doing what you love.
