Metroflex Gym MidCities
Reviews
A true NO-FRILLS gym (think polar opposite of day-glo LA Fitness/24 Hour Fitness/et al) with very reasonable monthly rates and wide M-F hours (weekend hours are more narrow), but not welcoming to the general public. If you are a hardcore body builder or wanna-be body builder then this is the place for you; atmosphere & equipment are par. If you are just looking to be fit, healthy & happy, then look elsewhere cause YOU will not be welcome here! Owner & some (not all) of his staff are very discriminating against age, fitness level, and personal goals - if your goal doesn't match their goals then "you're not really committed!" No positive encouragement, just drill-sergeant degradation. Owner is odd, self-admitted "a**hole of the industry" (his words, not mine) who is not as well-versed in training/fitness/diets as he claims to be. Seems like alot of internal stife. Typical small-business, desperate for business, but unkind and disrespectful vibe to patrons just kills it all. Keep shopping!
My only recommendation is owner David Hampton. He can work miracles motivation wise and get the results you're looking for. The only trainer I've ever had that has made a difference for me. *** I've always been a box-gym girl (Lifetime Fitness, etc) but never really felt comfortable and definitely didn't get results/help. I drive by Metroflex all the time but was a little intimidated by the "hard core" reputation, but finally decided to give it a try. I can't say enough good things about it, I actually look forward going everyday. It's a great, clean and fun environment with people who actually care if you stay on track and will help however possible. I also do personal training with one of the owners, Dave Hampton, and can't stress the huge difference it's made between his training and nutrition counseling. I'm almost 40 and have dropped over 20 pounds (the healthy way) in just a few months plus feel 100 times better. He's also been great working around and improving my health issues.
