I've tried a lot of gyms in Dallas, and Vickery Athletics is genuinely different. The community here is tight-knit in a way that I haven't found anywhere else. People know your name, cheer you on, and hold you accountable without it feeling forced or corny. The programming is really well thought out. Each workout is structured to challenge you no matter your fitness level, and you can tell the coaches put real thought into how sessions build on each other over time. Best gym in Dallas.

Vickery Athletics. This gym is Gold. It truly is what I like to do "for fun" because it is so much more than just a "gym". When I walk in, it's a community.

I joined VA over a year ago when I was new to Dallas and it's been the best decision I've made since moving here! Not only am I stronger/fitter than I've been in years, but I've made so many friends which is invaluable and hard to do as an adult. I truly look forward to going to the gym after work and getting to catch up with my friends, coaches, and (of course) hang with the dogs. The programming always includes a great variety of athletic movements and the coaches offer scales for all fitness levels. Couldn't recommend this gym more!
Adding on personal training through Vickery is one of the best decisions I have made for my health. The combination of one-on-one attention with a trainer like Stefan who has the experience and knowledge more commonly found in more expensive, boutique gyms has been awesome. Not only has the training helped me reach my strength goals, it has allowed me to exercise more by fitting around my schedule and syncing up with class programming. Heartily recommend for busy professionals, parents of young kids, or anyone looking to meet a fitness goal.
