The Texas Gym - East Dallas
Gyms · Dallas, TX
About
The crowd here is a mix of serious lifters from all backgrounds. It's a no-frills old-school gym where people actually say hello. You can go shirtless and work out with the doors open for fresh air. There's plenty of free weights and a few machines like a pec deck. Supplements and protein drinks are available.
This gym costs about $60 for 6 months, making it one of the cheapest options in Dallas. No locker room, but you can splash off in the bathroom. It stays open until 1 am, and evenings can get crowded. If you want a workout buddy or trainer, just ask at the front desk. For a more upscale gay gym experience, you could try Diesel Fitness nearby.

From the community
This is a cheap, hardcore gym that costs about $60 for six months. The atmosphere pushes me to work out as hard as I can because that's what most people do here. If you want to challenge yourself, this is the spot. It's not a fancy gym with just a few people trying to get ripped. It's easy to make friends with similar goals. There are plenty of free weights and some machines like a pec deck. There's no locker room, but that's fine. You can work out shirtless and then splash water on yourself in the bathroom. If you want a workout partner or a trainer, ask at the front desk and they'll set you up. I also love that they keep the doors open when it's cool outside for fresh air during workouts. They sell supplements, protein drinks, and beverages. It can get crowded after school until late evening, but everyone is respectful. Open until 1 am.

“One F HOT Gym WOOF !”
Going shirtless is fine. This is a fantastic, old-school neighborhood gym with a weight room for everyone, from beginners to serious lifters. It's a working-class, blue-collar, diverse gym where about half the members are Latino, a quarter are Black, and a quarter are White. People actually greet each other here, unlike the snobby chain gyms. Shirtless guys with sweaty, muscular bodies are common.
