Progressive Overload Dallas (P.O.D)

Experiencia positiva: I had been a member for a few years. Equipment (powerlifting bars, calibrated plates, combo racks, cages, and a handful of accessory machines) is pretty standard for a powerlifting gym. However, since one of the owners who, took it upon himself to maintain and clean the place daily, left, the cleanliness of this gym is quite atrocious. I also suggested that they at least provide water to the members, and even reached out to other gyms to discus costs and logistics and found out that the service they use would have costed POD less than what they charge for a single members monthly membership. The response I got from the current owners was "the sink in the bathroom works and you can fill your bottle from there" "we don't have the space for a water dispenser, nor do we have the money for it." Fast forward a few weeks, they have a new Rouge Rhino belt squat machine, which is neither cheap, nor does it take up a small space. To be fair, they did get a vending machine eventually and have waterbottles for sale. There hasn't been much growth in this gym compared to the other powerlifting gyms in the area. They also ha e random things like couches, standing bar tables that get in the way of lifters if you are new there but doesn't seem to bother the members who have been going for a while. The main things that are appealing are the members, community, the coaches, and caliber of lifters that train there. However, as a gym, I would not to go there if I had another option for a powerlifting facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed the hell out of my time training here. Wish I stuck with it!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic gym for serious lifting. (Planet Fitness)^-1

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym and equipment is top notch

Experiencia fantástica: Thy have excellent equipment for powerlifting and weightlifting (calibrated and non-calibrated plates, multiple types of bars, multiple bands, competitional racks, and a small bodybuilding section). In my opinion the gym atmosphere is friendly, but the competition atmosphere is always perceived, so we all tend to push ourselves for growth. There is bunch of athletes who have been doing the sports for MANY years, so you can always ask for advice on your lifts. Many of these athletes provide personal coaching. It is just a matter of asking them for coaching services. Overall, I completely love this gym! Only complain is just that I wish for a bigger space because at peak hours, it gets packed (like all gyms).

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Quality I have visited POD after my stressful days of studying when I was a senior at UTD and I think this gym is by far the best gym for strength training in the Richardson/Garland area!

Experiencia fantástica: Best powerlifting gym in DFW. Calibrated plates, AC, 24/7 access, and the best powerlifting equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: Love that this place is patterned around serious lifters. There's no pretense here. If you're looking for cardio gear and machines this isn't the gym for you, but if you're into powerlifting and/or serious free weights and compound movements- common to the powerlifting community-this is definitely the place to go in Dallas County!

Experiencia fantástica: Was lit just to visit tho went to planet fitness instead

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place! It’s like the Disney of powerlifting. So many great people and coaches who are always trying to help you be the best. My total has shot up since working with one of the owners. They have everything you need to be great. I recommend this place for beginners to elite lifters.

Experiencia fantástica: I have competitively powerlifted for over a decade now and this gym is blew me away when I first walked in. Multiple competition racks and platforms, competition barbells, competition weights, specialty bars, and plenty of other toys to go along with it. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Experiencia fantástica: One of Two gyms in the entire DFW metroplex ( really that's it ) that a Powerlifter can get a full competition experience. The other gym being Metroflex Fort Worth The Castle. Progressive Overload Dallas is a Powerlifter owned gym. They have calibrated steel plates, 20kg-29mm Ohio Power Bars, 2.5kg competition collars, and Texas Strength Systems Combination Competition Racks. 24 hour access makes training around your own schedule a breeze. Quality Olympic Barbells and Rogue Bumper Plates for Olympic Lifters. Many members compete in USAPL and USPA so you are training around people who are actively involved in the DFW Powerlifting community. Experienced lifters will appreciate the equipment and environment. Don't let that discourage you novice lifters. This is a great place to learn as everyone is kind and encouraging. We all started as novices after all. This place is going to be something special.

Experiencia fantástica: Calibrated steel kilogram plates, every kind of bar you could ask for, and multiple IPF combo racks. Air conditioning! Multiple Oly and sumo deadlift platforms. Fair price for day pass and membership.
