It's not for everybody but if you want a serious workout environment where people aren't allowed to screw around on their phones and chit chat all day then you might be in the right place.

Great atmosphere for serious lifters. Newbees need not be intimidated, the members are generally friendly and helpful. Don't expect to be able to watch TV on while you walk on a treadmill, but if you want a gym with all the right equipment to build a strong body and an atmosphere that will help you lift heavy ass weight, this is it. Loud music, chalk, and grunting are normal here. Membership is also very affordable. Once a year there is a bench and deadlifting competition and wild game feast and Brian Dobson cooks up elk, venison, wild boar, and even black bear for everyone to eat.

Extremely disappointed. First, their website says they close at 8 on Saturday, so we traveled 4 hours one way to go. Arrived at 5:30 to find that they close a 6, not 8. I understand that this is a "hardcore" gym, but there were spider webs on the equipment. Hardcore doesn't mean dirty.Maybe it was better in Ronnie's day...

Great gym. Been coming for a year. Had to get over the ambience, but they don't pretend to be a "fitness club". Its a hardcore gym that sticks to the basics- weights and machines. No need for showers, TVs, chairs, internet, tanning, etc, that stuff is for the birds. Get in and lift! Music could be better, but that why I wear headphones. 5 stars.

It has been a good four or years since I have worked out here, but I loved it. Back then I was just entering college and I was huge into lifting weights. It was so incredible being able to work out in the same place that the people in those magazines work out in. Even Mr. O, Ronnie Coleman, works out here. This place gave me motivation to continue striving to be the best, both inside the gym and out. I want to thank the people over at Metroflex Gym, and if I ever move out towards the Arlington area I will be back for membership again!

I have traveled all the way from the east coast of Canada to train at one of the most world renown gyms, Metroflex. I was not disappointed. well maybe I was a little, because I just missed seeing Branch Warren filming his new Olympia DVD by minutes! But I still had Two fantastic workouts and got to meet IFBBP Por Cory Matthews.
