If you are looking to do classes, then this is your place. You can basically get 7+ personal training sessions with elite programming for a better deal than anywhere else in Dallas, maybe even the entire state of Texas. Kyle and Michele have unmatched credentials and certifications too, not to mention their kindness and commitment to improve each and every person that walks through their doors. Kyle and Michele each deserve five stars. So really HITW gets 10/5. They offer classes for strength and conditioning as well as weightlifting, and both are incredible programs. As a former college and professional athlete, I can tell when a strength coach knows what they're talking about. I have not once doubted their methodology, and that alone separates their gym from the rest of the pack. Even more impressive, they make elite programming and training accessible for everyone (the community they've built at the gym also helps.) Most beginners start in Michele's class--only because there is a level of technical proficiency necessary before beginning Kyle's weightlifting--and she has mastered leading classes with a diverse range of experience. Can't do this exercise because of a bum shoulder? She's right on the spot with a variation that might actually help improve your shoulder health and mobility. Never deadlifted before? She's right there with you teaching proper technique while somehow keeping the rest of the class motivated and moving. If you are consistent with Michele's class, you will be stronger and in better shape than ever before. Kyle's classes are geared toward olympic weightlifting. Every day is focused on improving strength, explosiveness, technique. He has created an amazing, diverse community of lifters. It's not just a bunch of meatheads throwing around heavy weights while even heavier metal pounds in the background. The classes are so much fun because you build relationships with the people around you. You end up cheering each other on as you go for personal bests--and because of Kyle's precise programming, PR's happens often. There are free classes on the weekends, but I recommend going in on a week day. Saturday's are conditioning days, so they can be a fun, but brutal, introduction (disclaimer: I hate cardio/endurance work, so if you enjoy uptempo, quick workouts, then Saturday's and Wednesday's are for you.) Definitely drop in and check it out if you're tired of the Chain Gym, Class Pass scene. I cannot recommend HITW enough. read more

"It all began with a captivating Instagram video that led me to this exceptional gym. Despite a two-cycle stint, circumstances required my departure from Dallas, and subsequently, the gym. However, my fitness journey reached new heights with the unparalleled Hunger in the Wild training program. Whether it's strength training or Olympic weightlifting, the trainers and gym owners display remarkable expertise and purpose in their training programs. Their coaching skills and understanding of mechanics are truly impressive. Before embracing their program, my squat PR was 62kg, but by the end of the first cycle, it surged to an impressive 79kg. This gym has the ability to set you on the right path. My introduction to Olympic lifts was a revelation, given my initial lack of knowledge. Just one cycle later, I was confidently executing proficient lifts. I must also highlight the incredibly supportive community present here. A noteworthy aspect is their well-designed "APP" which precisely outlines the prescribed percentages and reps, facilitating effective bulking or a mini cut. For nutritional guidance, consulting with Jessica, the nutritionist, is a game-changer. Overall, this gym offers not only remarkable physical results but also a welcoming and supportive environment that propels your fitness journey forward." read more

"We were first introduced to Kyle a few years back when we were looking for strength/performance training for our daughter. The results she received were amazing so when it came time to get our son involved in training, we did not hesitate to reach out to Kyle. Our son is a competitive junior rower so we needed someone who understood the demands of high intensity workouts and would be able to provide a safe workout plan that would complement his 6 days a week training schedule. Kyle spent time talking with our son about expectations and personal short/long term goals. The plan he developed was exactly what our son needed to increase his strength and endurance and gain a competitive edge in his sport. In the short amount of time that he has worked with Kyle, he has already increased in size and shaved time off his races. Our son looks forward to his weekly workouts and the challenges he is given to push himself to be a better athlete. Kyle is so supportive of him and is always available to answer any questions we may have. His expertise in training and proper technique is unparalleled to anything we have ever seen. If you're looking for the best to train your son/daughter, look no further than Kyle and his team at HITW." read more

I am a fitness professional, and I also struggle with the mundane issues of any gym-goer (overweight, work, fatigue, etc). Because I recognize these struggles, it's important to me to train with someone who is knowledgeable, reliable, and has an open mind. Someone who shows integrity in the work place, with a sense of enjoyment. Someone who stays up-to-date with science, trends, and changes things up remaining fresh and effective, while always efficient. Someone who does and shows the work, who walks the walk and talks the talk, who leads by example. Someone who keeps an eye on the group and at the same time an eye on me as an individual. That someone is Kyle D. I have worked with both, Kyle and Michele, and I continue to because I trust them, I get results, and I am motivated to be there every time. They show interest and concern for me and my well-being. If you want someone who gets you and is on your side, and who works with you to accomplish your goals, get yourself to Hunger in the Wild. It's a wonderful place to be, with like-minded people of all fitness levels, ages, genders, a team, a family, or as we like to call ourselves, a #wolfpack. read more

I discovered HITW over Instagram. The sample programs and exercise selection drew my attention. This is not your usual online programing. This are people who actually care. I followed HITW for a while and decided to try out a Weightlifting Program. I always worked hard in the gym, but basicall magic happened as soon as I started. In only two month I increased my snatch by 5kg, my CnJ by 10kg, my Squat by 15kg. My strenght went up hard and all my lift are at their best ever. HITW provides AMAZING value for money. For only 25$/M I got a 5d/w program, varying every week, got a fast responding costumer service and I alway got answers on all or my question in a short amount of time. HITW is very reliable, has their own app that runs without problems on adroid, and I can track all my progress back on all my workouts. Kyle Dosterschill is an inspiration as a coach, owner and weightlifter. To everyone who hasn't made up their mind yet, HITW is a great experience, even when you acces it from the other part of the world like me. Stay Hungry. Stay Wild! read more

I know Kyle (owner) through when I played college football at Lindenwood University in St. Louis, MO. When I got there, he no longer played football, but instead was a member of the Olympic weightlifting team. When I had season ending shoulder surgery in 2013 I had reached out to Kyle for guidance on a workout plan for the off season to get me back to where I needed to be. Through his plan, I was able to bounce back faster than ever and become stronger and more flexible which helped me on the football field. Flash forward to present day. I now play for the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL. I have been able to work with some of the best strength coaches in the US, and I will say Kyle is right up there with the best. I still seek guidance on off season workouts because what he has provided me has worked 100%. If you live in the Dallas area and are looking for someone to help transform your life, go check out Hunger in the Wild Strength and Conditioning. read more

This is simply put, one of the best gyms in the country. The name is hard core, there is no doubt about that, but you by no means have to be any kind of great athlete to come in here and be embraced as one of us. Every person here truly matters as much as any other, and that is mostly due to the culture of kindness and excellence that Michelle and Kyle have fostered. The only thing we require of you is a great attitude! I love this gym. I found it on Instagram showed up and talked to Kyle. I immediately knew this place would be my home for years to come. My only hope is for it to grow so that Kyle and Michelle can continue to bless more and more people with their expertise. I also feel the need to point out that at this gym we get results. If you are unhappy with your strength or physique, you owe it to yourself to get the professional help that we can offer at HITW. I promise you, you will bit regret it. read more

Finding a good gym is a lot harder than it looks. I wanted a gym where there would be a consistent pattern for improvement. I personally need a place where working around injuries wasn't a big deal. I need instructors who know enough to be okay with mods and can assist when my knowledge is lacking. Kyle and Michelle plan out training cycles that are thoughtfully oriented towards goals such as improving body composition, mobility, and strength. They test at the end of each cycle to see where you are at so that they can modify the workouts to help you achieve your goals. In the first 6 months of being at HITW I have lost over 35lbs, increased my mobility and strength. HITW has as great atmosphere and everyone is very friendly. Kyle and Michelle are more concerned with overall health of their clients instead of them just being able to lift heavier weights. Glad to be a member of the WolfPack! read more

I started strength training decades ago for high school and college football, and have trained at some of the best facilities with the best trainers in the world. I can say with out reservation that HITW and its coaches are world-class. At nearly 50 years old and despite having recently had ACL/meniscus reconstruction surgery, I've been able to hit PRs from my 20s. During my first 2 1/2 months of training with Kyle, my bench press went from 305 to 340 while my body weight decreased from 205 to 197. My 5 rep deadlift max went from around 315 to 400! Kyle's coaching addresses both strength and aesthetics, allowing you to increase your strength while at the same time building lean muscle and improving body composition. As an active Brazilian JiuJitsu competitor and 2x World Master Champion, I only trust Kyle to manage my strength training and nutrition. read more

The culture, leadership, coaching and environment is top notch. These coaches and staff are in tune with what it takes to help people achieve their fitness goals (it takes more than just working out). It is a no joke, "Let's build something great!" type of atmosphere that enables a person to become all they can be. HITW is an incredible place to become better everyday. HITW is the most professional, knowledgeable, CLEAN, well equipped facility providing the best of tools and resources. I drive 20 minutes one way passing 50 other gyms and would not have it any other way. If you are an advanced athlete or just starting it does not matter, I have seen the coaches see the individual and where people are in their fitness journey and take them higher. Seriously no place like this in Dallas. GREAT People, GREAT Leadership, GREAT Atmosphere, Great Culture. read more

By far the best gym and best community I have ever been a part of! All of the coaches are so qualified and work with all the members during classes based on their needs, strengths, and weaknesses, even if they aren't on individualized programming. I have never made this much progress toward my personal goals in such a short amount of time. The programming is intentionally designed for sustainable, long-term improvement and maintenance, rather than quick fixes. The coaches and members are extremely inclusive and all around good people and make the time spent working out that much more enjoyable. Kyle (owner and head coach) has done an incredible job of hiring coaches and building programs that always have his clients' best interests and goals at heart. Joining HITW was one of the best decisions I have ever made. #wolfpack read more

I've been fortunate enough to watch this gym grow. In less than 3 years, HITW has grown into a dominant position amongst one of the most competitive fitness markets in the world. Dallas is home to many good gyms and professional coaches. But there's only one coach and one gym who can do what they've done. That gym is Hunger in the Wild and that coach is Kyle Dosterschill. In 3 years he's built a team of world class coaches, designed a revolutionary strength program mobile app and earned his way to the very top as an industry leader. Hunger in the Wild exceeds great. To be honest, this gym, this brand and this community are clearly in a league of their very own. HITW, hands down, has the best facility and coaching staff in Dallas, Texas. If you want to achieve your goals, than this is where you need to be. read more

If you're looking for a weightlifting gym, you couldn't find a better place. I've been involved in fitness since college - did bodybuilding, crossfit for a few years, tried boutique fitness, been to different globo gyms like golds, la fitness, 24. This community is so wonderful and the coaches are the best I've met. After doing my own thing for so long, I wanted to get back to a community that I had when I did crossfit (but I didn't want to do crossfit!) and this was perfect. Back then, I only dabbled in olympic lifting, and the coaches I had could never quite teach me well enough. Now that I'm at Hunger in the Wild, everything has finally connected and Kyle knows exactly what you're doing wrong and how to correct it. Fun environment yet everyone is still serious about lifting and doing work read more

I came to Hunger In The Wild as a "self taught weightlifter" quickly learned that my technique needed some overhaul to really progress my competitiveness with the sport. Within a month my lifts were more crisp and technically sound because I was actually able to put the strength I had into the barbell. The lifts are becoming second nature and missing lifts is starting to be a rare occurrence. Overall Kyle has made twice the weightlifter I could have became on my own and it seems like I am only getting better every time I train at HITW. Kyle is a great teacher of the lifts and is very relatable when trying to correct any technique issues. So if your in the DFW area and are looking to become a better weightlifter or just enjoy weightlifting HITW has great coaches and a great community. read more

HITW offers it all, from Olympic Lifting to Strength and Conditioning to Customized Training Programs - all at a specific and highly focused level. I stumbled upon this gym through a fundraiser and was hooked after my very first session on the platforms with the Owner and Head Coach, Kyle. All the coaches are truly passionate about creating environments and programs that breed real strength and real results the SAFE way. HITW has a wonderful community of people that want to see everyone succeed, and their brand new facility is bomb! If you are looking for a place to move around some weight this is the place for you...if you are just looking for a gym where you can hop on a treadmill and do some bi's - you'll probably want to look somewhere else. read more

Being fit is lifestyle choice for likeminded people, and choosing where you workout is the most important choice you will make to benefit your lifestyle.

If you want a gym that is a welcoming environment, where people constantly encourage each other and just competing against themselves, this is the place to go. No matter what your level of athleticism is, they will welcome you with open arms and be the best hype team. They care about helping you set goals and encouraging you to achieve them. Dallas can be a pretty vain place and don't get me wrong, these people here are beautiful but they are there to workout, not flaunt themselves. If you come here, just be prepared to sweat, they embrace the Texas heat and let the summer heat/humidity help loosen you up so you won't catch the AC blasting too often. They say it makes you mentally stronger ‍ read more

I have never done any weight training before! I walked in, introduced myself and Kyle was attentive, interested and answered my questions. I had been swimming nearly every day at LA Fitness/Haskell or 24 HR Fitness/Kessler Park. I lost 60 lbs. but couldn't progress and wasn't motivated to push myself. I began HITW morning class with Michelle the next day and by the end of the week my swimming just took off: I have amazing breath control and can swim HARD for 30 minutes. I have joined HUNGER IN THE WILD and love my class every day. What a bargain! Oh, did I mention I'm 71!!!!! I can run up 4 double flights of stairs, rest a few minutes and easily go the last 3. I feel great. read more
