Diesel Fitness

Owner is a great example of fitness! Staff is attentive about half the time. Personal trainers are great at their job. Maybe encourage employees to keep their political opinions to themselves.

Decent gym with heavy but old weights. Just read your policies thoroughly, cause there not gonna let you go until they get every penny out of you.

This is my favorite gym in Uptown. Not only is the location great, but so is the pricing. There are so many different machines and the classroom can be utilized at any time of the day (minus when a class is in session). The owner was really helpful when it came to setting up an appointment to check everything out. He met with me personally and even let me workout before I signed. Highly recommend this place!

I’m a big supporter of small business, but had a terrible experience with Diesel Fitness. Submitting a review to warn others new to the area- workout at another gym! I’ll keep the complaints short: Overpriced. Dirty. Poorly maintained equipment. Unclear cancelation policies(read the small contractual print; 30 days required to cancel; staff does not verbalize this). Aggressively rude owner- personally texted me to argue when I provided negative feedback about policies. Unprofessional. Business looks to be in bad shape and on downward trajectory. This gym will nickel and dime you- recommend seeking a better local alternative like Trophy Fitness (few blocks away). Several buddies of mine go here and love the facility and staff.

I've worked out at Diesel Fitness a few times and it has everything you want and need from a gym at a very accessible Uptown location. I'm actually writing this review because I was reminded that earlier this year during the infamous power outages, I had no power OR water due to frozen pipes. I called around to see if there was anywhere I could come shower. Even though I was not a member of the gym, the person on the phone was extremely friendly and assured me that there were showers with warm water available for use (at that particular moment). I came right over, paid the drop in fee to work out, and used their facilities. Everyone I spoke to while there were really friendly and made me feel welcome during a humbling week in which I literally felt homeless. I no longer live in uptown, but highly recommend this gym not only for being fully equipped and well kept, but also for being a gym that actually cares about its community.

***BEWARE OF THIS GYM*** It is very poorly ran and is a total "membership scam"! I joined and paid their enrollment fees as well as several months of access. I only used the facility twice; both times, it was very dirty! They don't clean the locker rooms, there are no towels and the staff wreaks of dip and BO. So all in, I've probably paid over $300 for two workouts and now the owner is threatening me with collections claiming I still owe more money! ***BEWARE***.

In all my years of being a gym-rat I have never been so disappointed and somewhat disgusted with a facility. Their customer service is horrible and with subpar equipment they definitely aren’t worth the price! I might as well head to planet …

been a member here for 2 years now. LOVE it. its the only REAL GYM ive seen in Dallas. …

I used to go to this gym. I sustained a stress fracture in my hip after my personal trainer kept pushing me to keep going even though my hip was "sore". When I told him my doctor said I had a stress fracture, this trainer still had me come in to do upper body work. I did not realize how badly I was injured because a stress fracture often presents as a dull pain or ache. I trusted my trainer to recognize the signs of overuse and to advise me to back off when needed. He was greedy, though. The personal trainer, George, talked me into paying him directly for sessions so he could keep all the money for himself. I paid him in advance for sessions because I felt bad for him. He gave me some sob story about his financial situation (girlfriend demanded he make more money, or else). Afterwards, he never kept his appointments. I never saw him or my money again. When I told the owner of the gym, he asked me to meet with him at a coffee shop to find out what happened. He did everything he could to schmooze me into keeping my membership and to continue paying for personal training sessions. He didn't fire George, just lowered his cut of personal training fees. I never got my money back because I refused to continue my training sessions/membership.At this gym, all they care about is money. It's been years since I went there, and my hip is still messed up.Don't ever buy training sessions with them. They only care about money.

This gym has very frustrating business and accounting practices that truly do not serve the best interests of their members. I signed up here only because the personal trainer I hired rented space from this gym. This was where she was …
