Do any of you fellow T-Nationers reside or work out near Dallas, TX?
If so…
First and foremost, can you recommend gyms that are PL friendly or at least allow deadlifting and all that? I appreciate Dallas is a large, sprawling area, but any tips could be helpful.
And, secondly, can you recommend a good neighborhood anywhere between Dallas and Plano for people ages 25-30 who are middle class (professionals but not wealthy). We will be renting, not buying.
Thanks for any help. It’s appreciated.
Gyms are easy here. 24hour fitness allow all of that and if you get an active membership you can go to different ones until you find the one you like best.
What type of neighborhood are you wanting? Kid friendly, an happy hour/nightlife scene, active lifestyle scene?
What type of housing? Apt, Condo, or house?
Near Plano/North Dalllas, Metroflex Plano is PL friendly. Lifetime Fitness in Garland is more family oriented and less PL friendly, but its a very nice facility with a lot of amenities.
Where are you going to work, exactly? You want to get as close as you can to where you work or at least be in the correct quadrant because traffic can be a real bitch. And there isn’t anything “between” Dallas and Plano as they touch.
If you are going to be working downtown you might want to look for a place in the “m” streets.
