Progressive Overload Dallas (P.O.D)

The place to go in Dallas if you’re serious about powerlifting. Can get busy at times and feel tight. Top-of-the-line eleiko and rogue and hansupower equipment. Combo racks and barbells for days. Friendly members and owners. Highly recommended!

If you are serious about learning powerlifting or looking for a quality gym with top-tier equipment. This is the best place around Dallas.

I had been a member for a few years. Equipment (powerlifting bars, calibrated plates, combo racks, cages, and a handful of accessory machines) is pretty standard for a powerlifting gym. However, since one of the owners who, took it upon himself to maintain and clean the place daily, left, the cleanliness of this gym is quite atrocious. I also suggested that they at least provide water to the members, and even reached out to other gyms to discus costs and logistics and found out that the service they use would have costed POD less than what they charge for a single members monthly membership. The response I got from the current owners was "the sink in the bathroom works and you can fill your bottle from there" "we don't have the space for a water dispenser, nor do we have the money for it." Fast forward a few weeks, they have a new Rouge Rhino belt squat machine, which is neither cheap, nor does it take up a small space. To be fair, they did get a vending machine eventually and have waterbottles for sale. There hasn't been much growth in this gym compared to the other powerlifting gyms in the area. They also ha e random things like couches, standing bar tables that get in the way of lifters if you are new there but doesn't seem to bother the members who have been going for a while.The main things that are appealing are the members, community, the coaches, and caliber of lifters that train there. However, as a gym, I would not to go there if I had another option for a powerlifting facility.

Love that this place is patterned around serious lifters. There's no pretense here. If you're looking for cardio gear and machines this isn't the gym for you, but if you're into powerlifting and/or serious free weights and compound movements- common to the powerlifting community-this is definitely the place to go in Dallas County!

Thy have excellent equipment for powerlifting and weightlifting (calibrated and non-calibrated plates, multiple types of bars, multiple bands, competitional racks, and a small bodybuilding section).In my opinion the gym atmosphere is friendly, but the competition atmosphere is always perceived, so we all tend to push ourselves for growth.There is bunch of athletes who have been doing the sports for MANY years, so you can always ask for advice on your lifts.Many of these athletes provide personal coaching. It is just a matter of asking them for coaching services.Overall, I completely love this gym!Only complain is just that I wish for a bigger space because at peak hours, it gets packed (like all gyms).

i like this gym so much. everyone here is friendly and hardworking. they are willing to help and spot. all of US can make progress here. Come on! Add oil!

I have competitively powerlifted for over a decade now and this gym is blew me away when I first walked in. Multiple competition racks and platforms, competition barbells, competition weights, specialty bars, and plenty of other toys to go along with it. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Awesome place! It’s like the Disney of powerlifting. So many great people and coaches who are always trying to help you be the best. My total has shot up since working with one of the owners. They have everything you need to be great. I recommend this place for beginners to elite lifters.

Hardcore gym without the intimidation. This place has an awesome atmosphere. Geared towards powerlifters and olympic lifters. The great thing about this gym is that it has people with various levels of experience and the members are just a helpful as the staff. Another great benefit is that the gym is available 24 hours.

I'm an Olympic Weightlifter and as such; there are hardly gyms that accomodate ny sport. Progressive Overload has all the equipment you'll need for any type of strength training along with a great atmosphere and group of people running it! Also they let me bring my pup 😊 …
