This is the best gym Ive ever been to. Been working out here for 6 weeks and its been great. Everyone in here is driven and motivated and its impossible not to feel that energy. I cant stand the corporate gym feel and this is the opposite. A true competitors gym. Everyone on staff is helpful, truly good guys. Also something about working out at Ronnie Colemans place that just amps you up. LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!
Ive always wanted to train at Metroflex and yesterday I finally took the time to get a day pass and make it a reality. The environment was electric. There was no one playing on their phone, hogging equipment, doing half reps or standing around talking. Just hard core, old school, real lifting.Some people think that a gym that is so hardcore would be filled with ego maniacs but the reality is this gym is for the truly dedicated that know what they are doing. Its the newbies, trying impress girls at the big chain gyms you have to watch out for.I got a great workout and look forward to making visiting the gym a monthly occurrence.I would suggest bringing an Alan wrench. Most of the plate loaded machines are missing pins. I had to take one and switch a around a few times.
This is definitely one of my favorite gyms to workout, as the atmosphere makes me want to hit it harder than I have anywhere else! The equipment is hardcore, and definitely a place for the like-minded individual. The owner is a great guy, and this place has such a great history! Many big names frequent this location, to which I have had the pleasure of running across multiple times. This is the reason I come to Texas once a year and it is worth it!
Great gym home of the great Ronnie Coleman --- I can see why he is the greatest the manager was super
From beginners to Pro athletes, youre welcomed and inspired. Everyone hypes one another up.. Its hard to explain in words how this gym makes a person feel. People come visit from all over the world regularly if that tells you anything..Check it out and see for yourself!If youre looking for a trainer-> Stephen Mario is an AMAZING trainer and he offers online and in-person training programs.
Being a member from one of the metroflex gyms on the west coast I had to find a way one day to visit the original and legendary MF! Finally got the opportunity and it was as expected ! There isnt any gym around that can replicate or try to recreate the hardcore no Bs atmosphere that you get the second you walk through the doors. Words cannot describe how inspiring and motivating this place is. Just like sterns gym in San Diego or Golds in Venice I could be here for hours and not even know it, like a kid at Disneyland. If you get an opportunity to come train here do so. Staff was very welcoming to me the second I got there and treated me like family. Best part was getting the opportunity to place my name on the wall in front of Big Ronnies famous 800 squats. Cant wait to come back again.
Everything I thought it would be... the atmosphere is great! To lift in a place where LEGENDS train is unbelievable!
Gym where King Ronnie Coleman trains. Simply the greatest of all time. Amazing place Im Elivan from Brazil.🇧🇷💪
Rob very awesome trainer and gets straight to the point no games played
Definitely a hardcore gym for those true lifters looking to take their training to the next level and become top tier athletes!
I never trained there but I love the videos of this gym, I love watching Branch warren and Ronnie coleman. And I love Brian such a sweetheart and a warm soul, still I wish/hope that a metroflex will open in Holland 🇳🇱 so that I can have the hardcore experience that Ronnie and Branch had.God bless 🙏 Brian and stay hardcore
Best gym in the Metroplex best trainers
Amazing gym, will train here once I turn 18 and move closer to Arlington
Definitely what I expected, my decision to enroll in this gym was totally correct, this is a hardcore gym to workout, to dominate yourself, if you have a serious focus on training this is the place. If you already have the focus, and the mentality to go all out 100% you will triplicate it in the very first moment you step in this place. This place means gains and champions. Also, Brian is really nice, he makes you feel welcomed at the very first moment you go there.
Best gym on earth
Honestly the best gym I’ve ever joined ! The owners are wonderful people, very nice .Always welcoming, I love it here .You come here and you just want to train as hard as you can until you can’t ! Definitely recommend this gym !
Huge fan from GermanyMainly I would like to thank Mr. Dobson for keeping the dream of real oldschool hardcore bodybuilding.I have seen many Videos from Big Ron on YouTube, quite fast I became aware of the man behind him.In my honest opinion it is due to men like Mr. Dobson that other people can fulfill their dreams.Without people like Mr. Dobson our world will be much poorer.Stay hardcore!
Perfect place to starring with serious friends !It will be good, don’t worry, will be good.
Badass gym and atmosphere like none other
The one and only! Did not disappoint. Brian is super friendly and good to chat with.
Great spot to train friendly staff.
Love it!!! Old school hard-core gym definitely making some great gains with the hard-core atmosphere!!!
One of the best places for hardcore training. If you want to get serious, go to Metroflex Gym, where champions are made.
Brian runs a Real Gym. No Nancys working out here !!!
Only hardcore gym there is, everything else s a fitness center. Brian is a class act and took the time to show me around even though I only bought a day pass while I was in town for business.
No play all work, best gym to reach goals
Great gym!
They have helped me become better and become someone I can and will give a testimony of how my life has been blessed
This is the place where 8th time Mr Olympia champion Ronnie Coleman was trained,and it is the heaven of gym lover and also the 2nd home of Ronnie Coleman.
I am from India and a huge fan of Metroflex Gym will definitely visit and workout here one day.
I drove about an hour from North Dallas to workout here at high noon on a nice hot August day and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The owner was incredibly nice and I cant wait to visit again.
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’m from Middle East, am planing one day to take a flight and come there to just train with Ronnie the champion man
Very solid gym 💪🏼 very old school, has all the equipment you could need and the staff is really nice and welcoming! Good place for serious lifters, some offering a vast degree of experiences, ask if you want to know something.
Yeah buddy light weight baby
Light weight baby! 💪🏻
Real workouts. Real results.
A place for no nonsense, just you and the workout. Its a real escape from the BS of your typical gym. Everyone is there to work, and become better. The staff is friendly, and are there to motivate you and help you.
This place will literally change your life. Im so fortunate to be able to be there. Not your typical corporate gym...I love it!
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 doesnt mean dirty.Maybe it was better in Ronnies day...
Awesome! just sign in, lift, and get gains!
Great price. Welcoming staff. Everything I was looking for in weights and cardio machines.
Great gym. Been coming for a year. Had to get over the ambience, but they dont 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.
Amazing place!
MetroFlex is the Texas Mecca for the hardcore athlete! No yoga offered here, just hardcore iron for the serious athlete or novice looking to breathe in excellence. I always train here when in town and Aaron, Steve, and the ABBS Team are always willing to help. Go train where legends like Ronnie Coleman, Branch Warren, Johnnie Jackson, Aaron Sparenberg, and Guy stomped!
Best gym ever if youre one of the few, because its not for everyone.
If God had to train, he would come here...
Best gym ever! Staff was great!
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.
The best gym that will ever be.
Hard core gym. Good equipment but could be cleaned up and organized better.
Badass gym. Go if youre in the area. Theres no gym like the Original Metroflex.
Great trainers
This is a serious gym. Bodybuilding and powerlifters will make a home here.
Great place to get your workout in without all the typical bs at an average gym.
Epitome of a competitive training atmosphere. The owner and trainers are great. No better gym anywhere.
Best gym for serious gym addicts. Definitely will be returning
Gritty and full of bodybuilding history. Proud to be a member.
Great atmosphere for serious lifters. Newbees need not be intimidated, the members are generally friendly and helpful. Dont 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.
Lightweight BABYRC LEGEND

Its not for everybody but if you want a serious workout environment where people arent allowed to screw around on their phones and chit chat all day then you might be in the right place.
Pump some iron or leave!
Get your ass there!
How much is a membership or to get a trainer?
This gym is the truth.
