CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. The exercises vary from weightlifting, running and throwing, to interval training and gymnastics. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains. They are Cardiovascular and Respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.

The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Our athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. This fitness is demanded of military and police personnel, firefighters, and many sports requiring total or complete physical prowess. CrossFit has proven effective in these arenas.

Please visit CrossFit.com for more information on CrossFit and what it is about.

In April of 2010, I suffered a complete fracture of my left leg requiring 3 major surgeries and the use of several bolts and a plate to hold my leg together. In July of the same year I had my last surgery and was advised by the surgeon and the physical therapist that it would take 4 months to walk. Two weeks later I limped in to Metroflex Midcities. All I could do was walk from my car to the front desk and had to sit down. My first day I walked 9 minutes at half a mile pace on the treadmill. In an age of air conditioned "globo" gyms, Metroflex is the real deal. This is the real deal hard-core gym that actually gives each and every client one on one personal attention. The owner asked me what I needed and actually got me equipment to help me with my rehab. The atmosphere in the gym fosters serious camaraderie and a fierce work ethic. After 4 months of training at Metroflex, I just finished a 5K race, have gained 20 lbs of serious muscle and caused my Physical Therapist to shake his head in disbelief. If I had to put Metroflex in one simple word, the only word I could think of is RESULTS. Come on down and train at Metroflex....the life you might change is yours. Finally a gym that truly offers what is needed to gain muscle. Iron everywhere with over 7000 lbs. of weights throughout the gym, you can literally never run out of weight. They have everything you need to get big, and no rules; lift barefooted, no shirt, do as you please. They make it feel like it is your personal gym. If you are looking for a place to take your strength to the next level this is the place to go. Equipment is everything you need to gain true mass and strength, loud music, hardcore atmosphere, and great lifters are what surround you. So take yourself to the next level and get METROFLEX-ED This is a truly amazing facility. I have played sports all of my life, so consequently, I have always been a gym rat. Metroflex reminds me a lot of the gym I came up in: Iron weights, central A/C and a group of guys that really like to get after it. There is nothing plush or comfortable about it! It's a true hard core gym (hot, sweaty and filled with the echoes of yelling and slamming weights)!
The GET SWOLE CLUB (GSC) had become complacent with our previous gym. We went mainly for the convenience. But waiting on equipment, the constant side conversations and constant reminders to not drop the heavy weights quickly became a thing of the past. When we heard a Metroflex was opening up near by, we were all chopping at the bit to get it there. And I must say, it is everything a hard core gym rat could ask for.
If you want to find out what you are made of... COME STEP INTO THE IRON JUNGLE! Come to Metroflex Gym Mid cities!! Because THIS AIN'T NO D*MN COUNTRY CLUB!!! Metroflex is the leader of all hardcore gyms! I am glad to be a part of it. The equipment and atmosphere are great!!! Just as soon as I walk through the door my mind and body shift into overdrive. I get one hell of a workout each and every time I go. Flipping the tractor tire, pulling the sled and using the sledge hammer are a few of my favorite exercises that Metroflex offers. The LOUD heavy metal music really gets me going! The equipment has the old school feel, which I love! Back to the basics is my motto. In this gym you can do no wrong. Sweat, yell, cuss, drop weights, whatever!! Do what you need to do, to get the weight up. You can't find this in todays modern fitness clubs! Only here at Metroflex! I remember the first time I had the “Metroflex Experience” I was 12 years old, and tagged along with my brother on leg day at Metroflex Arlington. When I got into training, I remembered that experience and knew where I needed to be if I wanted to make something out of myself. Metroflex MidCities is not just a gym, it's a lifestyle. When you walk through the door it's a life changing experience that you just won’t find in any of the “cookie cutter” gyms out there. The workouts I’ve had since I started training here are just phenomenal; you can’t get this kind of intensity anywhere else. I’d like to send a special thank you to the owners David Hampton and Lory Fuller for being great motivators, trainers, and great people.
