The newest addition to the Cowboys fit gym locations located in Deep Ellum is a premium site similar to that at the Star in Frisco. A much needed location since the older downtown location is fairly small in comparison.
Being a premier location, the membership is a little bit more expensive than the one downtown, but comes with many more amenities than the alternative. Including: a three lane indoor lap pool, co-ed sauna, outdoor track, cryotherapy chamber (full-body), standing infrared sauna, full infrared sauna, two infrared cocoon sauna beds, Normatech air compression (legs, hips, & arms), four water massage beds, and Hyperice vibrating foam roller/massage ball/massage gun. Also, each locker room is large and includes multiple showers. The only thing they have t included yet are the plastic bags to use for sweaty gym clothes when you're done with your workout.
The training area includes an extensive cardio section with new treadmills, stair steppers, etc. that all connect to your Apple Watch if your big in tracking your workouts. The free Wright section has a variety of equipment that is great for any type of training you plan on doing at the gym. There's also two deadlift platforms and four squat racks on the back wall. The gym includes a Cross-functional training section for those wanting to do circuits and/or crossfit, as well as a large turf section for sleds, rolling, sprints, whatever your heart desires.
All in all, this is a great facility with a good amount of space. It's newly renovated from what was the older health facility at Baylor-Scott White Hospital - so it's in a well lit parking lot and fairly safe area of Deep Ellum.
The only thing you need to consider is how much you want to pay for a quality gym, as a membership here will run you about $89/month after tax (couples membership being $129/m before tax) and the recovery section requires you to pay additional fees - the "All-Inclusive" package (I.e., unlimited cryo, saunas, compression, etc.) will run you another $100/m per person. Thus, it ain't cheap. Additionally, the hours aren't great and I hope they extend them soon. They open at 5:30 am and close at 9 pm - and they will remind you to leave when closing over the speakers. Also, recovery lounge usually closes at 8 pm... but on Friday it closes at 5 pm (gym closes at 7 pm) and on the weekends it closes at 1 pm - which is crazy to me as the gym doesn't close until 5 pm on Saturday/Sunday. This is the main shortfall.
All in all though, this is a quality gym with great features and you should definitely take advantage of the trial passes to come check it out. read more
