Recess is the best gym in Dallas! Not only is the gym beautiful but the machines are well kept and clean. I love how this gym has unique equipment that I have never seen in gyms before, one of my favorites being the hip thrust machine. My other favorite additions to the gym is the outdoor stretching/ turf area. There is a great view of the Dallas skyline out there! The locker rooms are also very well-kept and clean and have a great amenities such as the Dyson blow dryer’sThanks Recess!

The old 24 Hour Fitness has been completely transformed! Recess has a great atmosphere, equipment, and management that actually cares about members and cleanliness.Every few weeks there's some new equipment or upgrade which shows the owners want to keep improving and care about the place.

Canceled my LA fitness membership and now workout here. I couldn’t be any happier with my decision. The gym is perfect and is not packed, has a good vibe/atmosphere and has all the equipment you need to get a good pump!

So I’ve been coming here for about a week and a half now, GREAT gym, I’m able to get everything I want to do done here. Only reason I didn’t do 5 stars, everyday I’m here I do not see ANYONE wiping down their machines/equipment after they use them not even the people who are working with trainers. I usually come when the gym opens, but yeah there are rules posted throughout the gym, but I guess no one really cares haha. I’m gonna keep wiping down everything I use, there’s probably like 1-2 people I’ve seen do that same, but other than that I would say wipe down whatever you’re about to start using before you use them.

Probably the best gym in Dallas. I’ve been to gyms like Destination Dallas and a bunch of others but this one takes the cake. Simplistic yet lots of variety. Definitely check it out whether you’re an avid lifter of casual.

Recess is a great gym with attentive owners and staff. They’re constantly going the extra mile. Stocked with all the equipment you could ever want, the best water fountain you’ll ever drink from, and a killer view, Recess is a truly unique gym.

When a business is committed to their customers it shows.This is not just another gym, this a home for those of us who desire success and the attention required to achieve health and fitness goals.Owned and operated by United States Marines Taylor & Evan.If discipline is what you're looking for, come here.If professionalism is appreciated, come here.If you want to bypass all the silly bells and whistles of the franchise gyms, come here.I'm a swimmer, tennis player, skier and dog lover. I travel for a living and consider myself a savvy human being. I tell you this because my opinion for this review is rooted in a sincere commitment to myself and other humans who understand and value a healthy body and mind.Go to Recess Gym and you will see what I am talking about. These guys aren't screwing around.

Best gym in Dallas hands down! The owners are constantly innovating and brining in new equipment. The locker rooms are amazing, gym is always clean, keyless entry and it never feels crowded (doesn’t matter what time of the day)The view (amazing sunsets and sunrises btw) are spectacular from all angles but specially from the really well equipped boxing area as you can see downtown!It feels like a really expensive gym but with a great price! Every little detail at Recess is planned and extremely well maintained.I also do personal training there and all trainers are very knowledgeable and seem like the best in the industry.

Awesome gym, the owners and staff were extremely helpful, even with me being out of town setting up a weekly pass at a fair cost.

Check them out!
