Starting Strength Dallas

I came to starting strength with about 10 years of "experience" in the gym. Despite all those years under my belt, I was constantly getting injured and was never really seeing appreciable results or getting any stronger. In only 4 months at starting strength, I drastically improved all my lifts and feel much more solid with respect to being injury resistant. Having coaches like Jordan, Morgan, Jayne and Brent has been priceless and I highly recommend starting your strength journey here.

I recently visiting Dallas and had the opportunity to attend a class with my son at the Starting Strength Dallas location. My son regularly attends sessions there and his wife and my daughter have too in the past. There is no gym like this where I live so therefore I am a beginner. First, Coach Jayne had a pair of lifting shoes that I could borrow for the session. Second, Coach Jayne assessed my skills and chose the appropriate weights for a successful experience. Third, Coach Jayne taught me the correct form for lifting to minimize risk of injury. Forth, I felt like I had my own personal trainer even though I was in a class because of the personalized attention to detail and supervision while lifting the weights to keep me safe. In addition, the kindness and encouragement from Coach Jayne and Coach Brent created a positive environment to which I would like to experience again the next time I am in Dallas.

I joined the Chicago gym in January and saw how rapidly my life could change with proper coaching, the right environment and a program that consistently challenges you to be better. So when my work schedule started to involve more traveling, I was nervous about disruptions to my schedule. But the coaches in Chicago make introductions to coaches in cities where Starting strength has a presence. And I was lucky enough to drop in a for a week in Dallas. Not only was my training uninterrupted, I received the same exemplary coaching that I’ve been used to and continued my pursuit of new personal records. The coaches are phenomenal and the folks I lifted were kind, welcoming and supportive - all traits I’ve grown accustomed to popping in and out of other gyms. It just makes me even more happy to have found this program.

I have had many gym memberships over the years but I have never stuck with any of them until now. This is the best fitness program for several reasons. Excellent coaching, safety, small groups, personalized attention and expert knowledge about fitness and strength. Coach Brent Carter is extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with. I am in my 70s and people tell me I look 15 years younger. It’s been a great experience. I highly recommend it.

I've been going to Starting Strength Dallas for over 3 years and the results have been nothing short of exceeding my wildest expectations. This place has: - world-class coaches (shout-out to Jayne, Brent, and Jordan!) - great equipment and atmosphere - flexible scheduling as needed - strong sense of community I highly recommend Starting Strength Dallas for anyone looking to get stronger, safely, while having fun!
