Enhancing

Your

Experience

We are thrilled to share exciting news! On Monday, December 2nd, the CHRISTUS Health & Wellness Center (HWC) - The Wilton P. Hebert Health & Wellness Center - began its first major locker room renovation since our establishment in 1996. This transformative project represents a significant milestone in our continued growth as Southeast Texas's largest fitness facility.

The comprehensive renovation project will deliver modern, upgraded facilities specifically designed to enhance your fitness experience. To ensure minimal disruption to your workout routine, we are implementing these improvements in carefully planned phases.

Throughout the renovation process, we will provide regular updates regarding facility accessibility and temporary arrangements through our member newsletter, on-site communications, and here on this page. We’re glad you’re here!

Phase 3 of our locker room renovations is underway! Brandi, our Customer Service Manager, has an important message for all our amazing women members and guests. While we enhance the women’s facilities with brand-new showers, new tile in and around the soothing steam room and whirlpool, new wood in the sauna, and updated toilets, fixtures, and sinks, we want to ensure your comfort. Alternative shower and changing options will be available during this upgrade, so you can continue enjoying your time here!
