Lumin Fitness Cinco Ranch Brings AI-Powered, Immersive Workouts to Katy
Fitness enthusiasts in Katy now have access to a revolutionary workout experience with the opening of Lumin Fitness Cinco Ranch. Officially launching preview classes on February 7 and hosting a soft opening on February 24, the studio celebrated its Grand Opening on March 1 with a community event featuring free classes, local vendors, and wellness consultations.
Lumin Fitness was founded in 2019 by fitness, franchising, and gaming industry veterans. With a focus on integrating artificial intelligence, spatial augmented reality, and motion tracking, Lumin aims to deliver an unparalleled fitness experience tailored to each individual. The Cinco Ranch location marks the brand’s second studio, following the flagship in Irving-Las Colinas, Texas.
After launching in late 2023 by signing a 13-unit franchise deal with Verge Fit Holdings, Lumin Fitness accelerated its expansion. This partnership marked its entry into Austin, Houston, and Dallas, leveraging Verge’s experience operating nearly 200 franchise locations across major brands. Lumin’s innovative model integrates AI, motion tracking, and immersive LED displays for a gamified group fitness experience, designed for operational efficiency with minimal staffing. The Verge deal set the foundation for Lumin’s broader franchising strategy, targeting scalable growth in the evolving fitness industry.

Bringing a Unique Fitness Approach to Katy
Lumin Fitness Cinco Ranch was strategically placed in the Shops at Cinco Ranch for its accessibility and convenience. “We wanted a location that would be easy to access for the active and growing communities in Katy,” said Kelley Davila with Verge Mobile. “Our vision is to provide an innovative, engaging fitness experience that is unlike anything else available in the area.”
The new location aims to meet the growing demand for personalized and engaging fitness solutions. “Lumin’s AI-powered, immersive approach and science-backed fitness programming align perfectly with the active, health-conscious lifestyle in Katy,” Davila explained. “Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, every class is tailored to your unique fitness level and goals.”
Cutting-Edge Fitness Technology
Lumin Fitness sets itself apart by combining the best of personal training and group workouts with AI-powered enhancements. Members work out in a dynamic environment with wall-to-wall LED screens, motion tracking, and AI-driven coaching for real-time feedback. The system remembers personal performance metrics, suggests optimal weights and equipment, and provides in-ear coaching tailored to each member’s preferences.
“Our AI trainers offer form feedback, motivation, and workout modifications in real-time,” said Davila. “This level of personalization makes workouts not only more effective but also more engaging and enjoyable.”
Lumin’s 45-minute group classes incorporate High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) with a mix of aerobic fitness, muscular endurance, motor fitness, and mobility. The constantly changing workouts ensure variety and prevent plateauing, while members can preview and modify their sessions based on personal needs.
A Growing Team of Fitness Experts
Leading the studio is Kyle Herring, who has a decade of experience in fitness and specializes in HIIT and strength training. He has been instrumental in launching multiple fitness studios, including locations with Orangetheory Fitness, and has worked with clients worldwide through online coaching.
