Looking for a place to train?

There are countless gyms and fitness centers in the metroplex area.  There are a few that stand out above the rest.  If you are looking for a place to train that focuses on performance and has the staff that knows how to get you there then I would like to suggest a couple of my favorite gyms.  The first just recently opened up on the Fort Worth area: MetroFlex Fort Worth  The owners, Rendy and Christine DeLaCruz, opened this place and have done an amazing job at creating an atmosphere and environment that is not only motivational and inspiring but caters to everyone including competitive athletes, MMA folks, police, fire and military.  The place is full of iron, strongman equipment, an MMA ring, and is outfitted and equipped for CrossFitters and MetConners.  Additionally, they are staffed with a number of instructors for help anyone reach their goals.  I can't say enough about this place.  If you are looking to make some changes, reach goals or just stay fit then just check this place out.  The rates are great too. 

I can't mention the Fort Worth MetroFlex without mentioning the original: MetroFlex Arlington  This is where it all started.  Owned by Brian Dobson, this place has been around since 1987 and has been pumping out champion athletes for years.  I trained at this gym for over 15 years.  So if you live in the DFW area these are two of my favorite gyms and I encourage everyone to check them out.

For those interested in Boxing gyms, I would highly recommend Rock Boxing Academy in Arlington.  They train all levels of competitive athletes and also have programs for those just wanting to get in shape.  They also have great programs for kids ages 8 and up.  The owner, Pete Rojas, has over 20 years of experience training champion boxers.  It is an "old school" type of gym and has a great environment.  They also are equipped for and offer MetCon style workouts.  They don't have a website yet but below is a business card with the information.

If you go there, make sure you tell them you heard about them from this blog!
