There are 3 sinks on the wall on the outside wall which is away from the open area/locker area. I always use the sink which is to the far left of the 3 sinks in the left corner. The sink has been leaking for several months at the base of the faucet and the leak seems to be getting worse. It would be nice to get it repaired. Thanks!

I recently visited the gym for a class with Stacey, and I had a great experience from start to…read morefinish. The class was challenging, fun, and energizing, and Stacey was an excellent instructor. After class, Rachel gave us a tour of the facility and was incredibly welcoming and friendly, just like the rest of the staff. The gym itself is beautiful, modern, and exceptionally clean. I especially loved the white and tan interior design--it creates a bright, upscale atmosphere. The women's locker room is impressive, featuring lockers for personal belongings, a sauna, and a cold plunge. There are also convenient water refill stations throughout the gym. One of the most unique features is the slide, which definitely adds some personality and fun to the space! There's also an outdoor workout area in the corner for anyone who prefers exercising outside. Overall, Recess offers a great combination of high-quality fitness classes, excellent amenities, and a welcoming community. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Small but nice workout place near where I work in Uptown off Oak Lawn Avenue. It's located on the…read moreplaza level below the street level and you can access from the front or back of the building. The owner, Bobby, is a nice guy. You can do training with him or workout on your own. Covered parking is under the building (pic included) and you can access the gym pretty much any time with a key FOB (pic also included). There's a fair amount of cardio equipment, weights (free & machine), kettle bells, etc. There are also 2 showers with restrooms so you can clean up if you're heading back to work. Not a typical chain gym and usually not very crowded, so I love it being close to my office.

It has been a year and so since I have been out of their gym. I gained some weight but hopefully this year of coming to the gym will be working on my resistance to improve my workouts.

They used to be great. I came from the Plano location and had high hopes for this gym. And for a…read morewhile-everything wasn't too bad. But then I guess a change in management(?) Not only is it dirty but the staff do not care about you. I won't say all of the staff are like that, but the majority. They keep the mop buckets (with dirty water) in the bathroom and they haven't got a privacy curtain for the women's dressing area. It's been a month and they have given nothing but excuses. I don't normally write bad reviews .... But this has been stewing like the mop water in the restroom entry ...

One class in and I was hooked. Six weeks and 20 lbs later, becoming a member was one of the best…read moredecisions I could have made. There is no other gym like Edge. Each class is 30 minutes in length with a focus on both strength and cardio training. The fast paced 30-minute format is divided between 6 stations with 6 rounds at each station in 30- second intervals- with 10-second breaks in between rounds. You will break a sweat- but you will gain muscle as well as endurance. I started to have more energy within days of keeping up with the routine. Classes at Edge are small by design- 15 people max, ensuring that everyone receives individual personal training- with a focus on correct form. William, the owner and one of the instructors has a masters degree in kinesiology-so he always pays attention to the participants, making adjustments as needed to make sure that no one gets hurt- and that you get the most out of your workout. In addition to the top of the line equipment and the constantly changing workouts, my favorite aspect of Edge is the people. The trainers are so nice and so encouraging and super well versed on all things fitness. The other members are equally awesome and super motivating. Edge is it's own little community so if you live in or around Oak Cliff, give Edge a try. The first class is always free and I guarantee that you will want to come back again and again

Must. Try. They offer a free class. 30 minutes. Challenging. Heart pumping. Sweat enriching. You…read morewill walk out knowing you are better than you walked in. You will be hooked like I am now. This is a unique fitness class - no, a great group of friends. The equipment is not what you see in a gym which makes the workouts interesting. HIIT at its max - a lot of rotation so you never lose interest and if struggling with one exercise, you move on and do your best at the next one. The trainers are probably the best part as they create a great energy in the room. All physical levels. If you are new to Dallas, if you want to better yourself, if you want to help a local business - this is it. Again, try their free class, nothing to lose but a little bit of weight.

Four minutes from the house and this little gem of a gym--specifically the East Dallas location at…read more4823 Bryan St, Dallas, TX 75204--is already our favorite. Signing up for classes was a breeze, and the waiver process was so simple it felt like I didn't even do anything. You might think that part isn't a big deal, but if you know, you know -- a messy sign-up can ruin the whole vibe. Here, it was smooth and stress-free. The studio is spotless, and the bathrooms? Immaculate. One of the coolest parts was the owner, Jackie. She hung around after class and actually took the time to talk with us, sharing the backstory of how the gym started, what the mission is, and how they built the community. You don't get that personal touch everywhere, and it made the whole experience feel that much more welcoming. Now for the workout. This one was no joke. They hit us with nine minutes of abs at the end, and I'm not gonna lie... the second they announced it, I considered walking out the door. This is a true HIIT functional fitness workout and it hits every part of you in the best way. What I love is that it works for everyone -- whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned pro, you go at your own pace and still get a killer session. Overall, solid spot, great workout, awesome ownership, and an easy win being right up the street.

As someone who is very self-critical, and competitive with myself, I found the environment to be inclusive, friendly and non-judgmental....just what I needed/wanted. The workouts are well structured and easy to scale for all fitness levels. I love the mix of cardio, strength training, HIIT, movement exercises, etc. The owner, Zach, and the coaches are very helpful and knowledgeable which is something I was looking for because I tend to ask a lot of questions. They are happy to help you reach personal goals if you're like me and appreciate that kind of support and feedback. They are passionate about health and fitness - they often participate in the workouts which is encouraging when you're in the middle of a tough workout knowing that they've already been through it. I can't say enough good things about this gym and these people. It's also a bonus to have physical therapy available, on-sight. Jess is amazing and helped me with my hip mobility and recommended scaled movements specific to upcoming workouts (she is also a gym member which is awesome because she knows exactly what's going on in the workout cycles). Thanks to Vickery, I am in the best shape I've been in since college. I have to give Zach, Stefan, Rachel, and all the coaches credit for helping me get my life and confidence back. Also, how can you go wrong working out with dogs and good music? 10/10 recommend :)

While the flashy lights and aesthetics of other globo-gyms might be nice, they pale in comparison to the substance of Vickery's offerings. No other group class fitness gym has the coaching knowledge that provides a scale to an injured person or someone lacking the ability to do some of the scales. No other gym has the spirit Zach and the other coaches bring. It's not just a gym. It's a place where the workout is just as good for you as it is for the next person, regardless of their fitness level. VA forever.

I began classes at The Gym just over a year ago after a leading a completely sedentary lifestyle…read more The workouts are fairly rigorous, but the coaches are excellent and can help modify any portion of the workout, as needed. I attend the fitness classes, which combine strength and cardio work, without the more complicated barbell lifts found in CrossFit classes. If you're already in a healthy place, you should be able to jump in and go immediately. If you're more like I was a year ago, the coaches can help you understand how to ease into an exercise regimen in a healthy way that won't get you hurt. The Gym has a friendly atmosphere/culture. Everyone is encouraging and kind. The coaches are exceptionally helpful and unless you have extensive experience (and even if you do), I believe the coaching/help is worth the extra cost relative to what you'd spend at a mega-gym.

I joined this gym 8 years ago and it has been great for fitness, strength and conditioning. The…read morecoaches are always friendly and supportive and do an excellent job explaining and demonstrating proper form. The class sizes are small, so there is a lot of personal attention given, which makes it an excellent value. Before a bike accident I was a competitive off-road athlete and my fitness achieved at the gym helped me to advance further and ride faster than I thought was possible. After the accident and starting over with fitness and mobility, the gym and coaches were great at helping me modify the workouts so that I could participate and rehabilitate. I love just being able to show up and have a plan ready to go, and the group workout environment is great whether you like it for competitive reasons or to just be around some friends. Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience, there is something for you at this gym!

My friend lives in an apartment in the village and she has access to this gym, so while I was…read morestaying with her, we decided to come and work out together. The area where the gym is located is extremely nice, the commons where all of the shared village grounds are (including restaurants and coffee shops, along with this gym) is extremely upscale. My friend told me that in the past, it cost five dollars to bring a guest to this gym, but when we came on a Sunday morning, they told us it was actually $20. We went ahead and went for it since it was just one day, but in the future, just be aware of that. The gym itself is very nice, the facilities are very clean, especially in the locker rooms, and there was a plethora of equipment. Walking in there is a check in desk, and just to the left there is a big staircase next to the indoor space housing a basketball court. If you go up the stairs, there are a lot of machines up there along with free weight /free space areas with kettle bells and yoga mats etc. There's also a small outdoor area with some machines, including a battle rope and a few others. If instead of going up those stairs on entering you keep going towards the back, the locker rooms will be on your right, and there's some additional equipment under the staircase adjacent to the basketball court. Around the corner, there is also a lot more freeway equipment, including a Smith machine (my personal favorite) and free bars for squatting/benching as well as Dumbbells and things of that nature. I noticed also an outdoor area with like maybe a parkour area? I wasn't sure exactly what it was but looked like a grown up jungle gym. And just behind that, there was a large (and busy!) tennis court. On the other side of the gym itself, there were also some large fields that looked like maybe they're for soccer or some other field sport? I didn't see any soccer goals though. There's also a pretty long sidewalk surrounding area that would be nice to walk around, but just be mindful it's not a very shaded area and in the summer in Texas it's pretty hot so I would be careful about that. If you're living in the village, the location of the gym is really great because it's so close by. My friend and I were running late so we actually did drive (took 1-2 min from her apt) and parked in the parking garage underneath the village area; on the Sunday morning that we came it was just free to park there and we didn't even have to take a ticket, the bars were just up when we came in when we left. However, I imagine that if it wasn't a weekend, you may have to get a ticket and pay or validate. Last thing to note: even though it was a Sunday morning, there was a pretty decent number of people in that gym. I never had to wait for anyone to use any equipment or any machines, but I did see some people talking to each other about that. My friend told me that it was basically "empty as far as she was concerned," compared to how it is during the week when apparently it's much busier and you do sometimes have to wait for equipment. Overall, this place is really nice, and given im thinking about possibly moving to Dallas in a few years i am quite strongly considering this area because of how nice it is, and because of the presence of this gym! I wish they hadn't increased the price for guests (or had a fee at all), but for those living here and just using the facilities complementarily, this is a really nice place.
