Strouds Fitness

Fantastic experience: Best Gym! New Owners have really put hard work into making it a neighborhood gym for everyone. The updates have been amazing!

Fantastic experience: The staff are friendly. The gym is more old school. It's not a modern gym and the equipment is older. It has a powerlifting gym vibe to it. It has everything you need to weight train properly

Fantastic experience: Great old school bodybuilders gym. Excellent staff and environment.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever gone to. Wish I wasn't traveling and could have stayed longer. The lady at the counter was super nice and thrilled to show us around. They have many machines there I had never seen before and wish I could take with me. They had a martial arts room with kicking bags that I really enjoyed. There wasn't anything I was looking for that they didn't have.

Fantastic experience: After an extended absence from Strouds, today I returned and had a great workout! Most important the folks that first inspired me to stay fit were still there. Thank you guys! Missed you!

Fantastic experience: Staff is amazing

Fantastic experience: Justin is a wonderful gentleman.Props to the center for offering sparring classes so children and adults can feel more confident defending themselves if and when confronted.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and fantastic MMA program/personal training! Great gym culture too!

Fantastic experience: I'm visiting a friend from out of town, I have tried different gyms around the area. I have had a great experience here, Kyle was super nice and helpful. The card machine wasn't working so he just let me in for free. Weights are all metal, I liked the environment, being an active duty Marine I really appreciated all the branches flags and that it is veteran own. I am planning to move to DFW area after my second enlistment and will certainly be coming here. Thank you owner and staff for this great gym.

Positive experience: I’ve been going for over a year now. It feels nothing like an LA Fitness type gym. Great no nonsense equipment and powerlifting friendly. The only thing keeping me from rating this gym 5 stars is I wish the hours were 05:00-22:00 every day, not just Mon-Thurs. That would be a huge improvement! Overall, I love Strouds!

Fantastic experience: A serious gym for serious lifters. This gym is one of the best-equipped gyms in the DFW metroplex for strength athletes. Dedicated equipment and facilities for powerlifting, strongman, Olympic weightlifting, and bodybuilding with most everything you could ever need. The amenities are great too: a full locker room with showers and sauna, dedicated martial arts dojo, and a multipurpose room with great lighting for technical practice and warm-up. The staff are friendly and carry on the Kirk Stroud legacy with honor. Trainers are available for consultation during all hours for beginners to advanced competitors. I bring all my friends here to train with me, and would love to see you here soon!

Negative experience: Sales guy is rude. I was late on payments. No problem said I would pay eventually. Never said I was going to go back in the gym without paying and guy starts cussing me out on the phone.

Fantastic experience: Good place

Negative experience: Staff was really nice. Gym was filthy. Unfortunately when I signed up I said to Kenzie that I didn’t want to sign a contract because I was moving several months later and wouldn’t meet the year mark. She said to let her know when I was moving and that she would take care of it. I should’ve known better than to sign just on her word. I called last week to cancel and she said she didn’t remember ever saying that. At the end of the day I guess it’s my fault for trusting them and signing. Oh well.

Fantastic experience: Update; initially said they didn't have a sauna, I was proven wrong. It's right in between the men's and women's locker rooms! TLDR; Pros: Great local gym, has tons of implements you don't often find. Dumbbells go up to much higher weights than the average gym, and there's a bevy of options for great workout equipment. Lots of friendly and dedicated individuals willing to help. Dedicated rooms for heavy Squat/ Bench/ Deadlift, main workout room, posing routine, and a martial arts room. Slight cons: a few cardio machines (~3/20 machines) don't work, and only one old school water fountain, so just make sure you come in already filled up. Equipment Highlights: Hack Squat, Farmer's Carry implement, Pec Deck, T-Bar Row Station, Simulated Sled Cardio machine. The machines available to you, specficially for Legs and for Chest, are fantastic. Hack Squat, Pendulum Squat, Seated Leg Curl, Sissy Squat, various angles for Leg Press, and 4 Squat racks in the back. I also love the Pin Press in the back room, and they have quite a few chains, and a few bands, you can load onto the bars to add accomodating resistance. This isn't a comprehensive list, these are just the ones I haven't seen often in commercial gyms that Stroud's specifically has. I love their Hack Squat machine; I've had a few at other gyms that grind along the inner tracks of one side as you perform reps and it's pretty frustrating. This machine always works smoothly. The Farmer's Carry implement is just that- a I__I shaped implement that you can load hundreds of # onto, with 2 different grips. There seem to be a few similar implements as well, though I've only used one. As for the Pec Deck, instead of the typical grip for a machine flye, this machine has pads for the elbows to press the sides together (in other words, you start with both arms at your sides holding a 90° bend at the elbow like you're mimicking a Field Goal, then crush your elbows together in front of you to perform a rep.) I have to greatly decrease my weight to get reps in correctly, but it feels great for the chest. I've hardly seen these as opposed to the typical machine flye, so I've greatly enjoyed them. Music is typical radio stuff you hear at the gym, no surprise- bring your own headphones. Overall I've loved the gym. You've got plenty of options for building your body up that you don't get at the typical commercial gym.

Fantastic experience: Great place because of the people.

Fantastic experience: I like the overall atmosphere here, it not like the corporate gyms at all. Family pricing is great, they offer tanning services, and the owners are good people. There are a lot of really fit people that workout here and seeing them makes you want to push yourself that much harder and there are trainers if you need the help and motivation. I really like this place! Been going here for about 10-12 years, still a good place with great people.

Fantastic experience: This is an old-school gym--no frills, but good atmosphere, great equipment, including a monolift and good old racks. They have a powerlifting area, bumper plates, a reverse hyper, strongman equipment, a boxing /martial arts room, and probably a bunch of other stuff I didn't see. Very friendly and casual staff, very affordable drop-in. I forgot some bands here and called them back, and in 5 minutes they called them back and had them ready at the front desk. This is the kind of gym you don't see much in the overpriced DFW market. Lots of extremely fit people of every age here. If I lived closer I would lift here all the time. Philippians 4:13 quote up front = always a good sign.

Fantastic experience: No BS. Best Gym in Bedford.

Positive experience: Justin Patterson's kick boxing class was amazing and hard as hell. Can't wait to do it again

Fantastic experience: Really cool people! Go check them out!

Fantastic experience: 24hour fitness has no gyms close so I had to kill my membership. Strouds gym is a no frills, blood sweat and tears gym. Lots of equipment, great if you hate waiting on equipment. Staff is knowledgeable if you have questions or need help. I love it that I can train my 2 sons 12 and 13 years old at no extra cost. It's a 18yr old and up gym, but as long as my sons are with me it ok. After the first week working out here I like it alot!

Fantastic experience: Nice gym

Fantastic experience: Very cool boxing room in this gym very impressive my friend came here to practice it’s very welcoming and the gym overall is very nice clean and lots of different equipment to get your body in the right shape

Positive experience: Love this gym. Basic stuff but everything you need for a good weight or cardio workout. Members are friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love the location. I just started working out a few days ago, so far, I’m very impressed with how clean it’s been. The machines are very nice and easy to use.

Fantastic experience: Love the location. I just started working out a few days ago, so far, I’m very impressed with how clean it’s been. The machines are very nice and easy to use.

Fantastic experience: Love Strouds!! If you're looking for an old-school gym, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. It has a great environment and great people.

Positive experience: It's a little dirty and unorganized but a pretty badass classic gym otherwise. Staff is always pretty friendly.

Fantastic experience: Old school gym, lot of good trainers and good place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Shroud’s Fitness is great. I was looking for a personal trainer; asked a good friend for a recommendation. I made the initial call and spoke to the trainer. Jimmy does his training sessions at Shroud’s so I made an appointment to check out the facility. Kirk answered my questions and explained my options without any hard-sell tactics that many gyms use. My roommate and I chose a twelve month membership and started working with our trainer. I’m happy with my decision and Shroud’s Fitness.

Fantastic experience: BEST gym ever. The staff is exceptional. Not only is this gym a community but also a family. They work incredibly hard to keep it clean, and efficient for all. Justin is an AMAZING boxing coach. He’s not only good at what he does but he’s an educator as well. He’s always on time, and always has tons of energy and positive vibes. He’s so inspiring

Fantastic experience: You want a real GYM? This is it! Last time i saw my body transformation was about 10 years ago and didn’t see it till I started going to Strouds. Can’t thank strouds family for having such a positive and life changing place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym/fitness center for anyone serious about getting in better shape. I was at 24hr fitness for yrs and make little progress. Since going to Strouds, I have made significant improvements. Staff is alway friendly and chill.

Fantastic experience: I love strouds, I drive 30 mins to workout there. They have everything you need to get into the best shape of your life. The staff is very friendly and always have kind words of encouragement.

Fantastic experience: I wish I had found this gym sooner. There is no other gym I would want to be a member at. Everyone including staff, trainers and other gym goers are as friendly as can be. I never have to wait to use equipment. I highly recommend this gym as it is truly the best bang for your buck.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best! The equipment in the gym is awesome (squat racks, Texas power bars, safety squat bar, etc). The staff here are courteous and very cordial - they make the experience in the gym a whole lot better than your average gym. I will miss this gym dearly and it will be difficult to find a gym like this since I have moved. Thank you Stroud’s - so very much.

Positive experience: Kelvin is a great trainer.

Fantastic experience: Great no nonsense gym. The people are very friendly and the staff keep the place clean!

Fantastic experience: Great gym staff and nursery workers. Lots of equipment and space to workout how you want to!

Negative experience: The gym equipment is wonderful. However, I have had some major issues. I signed up for a 12 month contract in January 2020. There were no issues with Stroud's Fitness drafting $31.39 out of my account every month, as it should have been. I visited the facility to cancel my membership in early February 2021. After telling the man at the front desk that I want to cancel my my membership he said the computers were down, wrote my name on a sticky note and said it would be taken care of. It was not taken care of and there was no record of me canceling my membership and I was drafted for March and April. Confused but still patient and understanding, I visited the facility again. Lee, who I believe helped me before ( he thinks it was someone else) told me that he can't cancel memberships at the front desk and there's only one person who can, Candi but she doesn't work at the gym and she doesn't have a contact number or e-mail. Lee said that he would tell Candi to call me about a refund for those 2 months. He wrote my second cancellation request on yet another sticky note and when I asked for something in writing stating that it would be cancelled and I wouldn't be charged, he couldn't produce such a document. What I thought was a proud, honorable local gym is actually a business that is untrustworthy with severe disorganization. Again, I gave this business no issues drafting my monthly membership fee from my account every month but I am having a nightmare trying to cancel. I have been nothing but kind and patient, but I have been taken advantage of and it's not all about the money. It's mostly about the principle.

Fantastic experience: Long standing, family owned work out center, under new management. They are carrying on the same commitment to teaching and training DFW folks, and their families to be healthy and happy!

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for lifting community

Fantastic experience: Great gym. This is where the big boyz play

Fantastic experience: Love this gym!! Great pieces of equipment!

Positive experience: FRIENDLY STAFF AND LOTS OF VARIED EQUIPMENT TO WORK OUT ON. GREAT HOURS, LOW COST, AND AWESOME OWNER!

Fantastic experience: Very nice Christian staff members. Kirk the owner knows all of his member by name. Very friendly. Some of the best equipment in the DFW area

Fantastic experience: I've been in the DFW area for a little over a year now, finding a good gym is like trying to go house shopping at times and trying to find a price that doesn't break the bank but also has good equipment and good staff. I've been waiting to do a bodybuilding competition for years now but didn't know where to look so i got referred to Winston, from another coach. My first time coming to Strouds, i walked in the first door and the first thing i saw was a white board with a Bible Verse on it, automatically i liked the gym something so small like that made the biggest difference! Meeting Winston for the first time was a great experience, only did he know what he was talking about but he didn't pressure me into anything. he has been an amazing coach, December 19th 2020 will be my first competition I've ever done, and with Winston i know i'll bring the best package to the stage! I normally workout in the morning, so i always run into Lee at the front desk, which come to find out he is the one that has been writing the Bible Verses on the whiteboards every morning, Lee really sets the energy for the gym and is very kind and uplifting. I would Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking in the area!

Fantastic experience: I have known Kirk Stroud for over 20 years and trained at Stroud's Fitness for ten years! Stroud's has a good training atmosphere! The equipment will meet all your fitness needs. I truly enjoyed my time training there!

Fantastic experience: Kirk and Sam Stroud have put together a wonderful slice of history and old school training in the heart of the Metroplex. From classic bodybuilding lines of equipment and some magnificent old Nautilus pieces that always get the job done, you'll consistently get a tremendous training session at Strouds. Whether you need martial arts, powerlifting, tumbling and gymnastics or just to get your pump on, Strouds is a great place to do it.

Fantastic experience: You want a gym to work out? Go to Stroud's. You want knowledgeable people that take care of and care for their customers? Go to Stroud's. You want to be treated like friends and family? Go to Stroud's. We could not recommend them any higher.

Fantastic experience: Strouds Fitness is an incredible Gym. I highly recommend Strouds Fitness because of the cleanliness, organization, hours of operation and professionalism. Kirk (Owner) is welcoming, kind, Kid friendly, and full of diversity. The week I became a member I was reevaluating my surroundings. Sad but true. When Kirk, kindly said: "My doors are open". God was placing me in a good spot. I could train for my new Division. (Wellness) Everyone there is an Athlete in my eyes. The trainers, bathrooms, tanning beds, machinery, and work-out rooms are private and functional. Believe me I had my fair share of gyms. Those reconsidering your Gym, Strouds Fitness is where you belong.

Fantastic experience: Not a better "hometown" or family owned gym around. Great facility, knowledgeable staff. Something for all levels of fitness, strength, bodybuilding and powerlifting. Join today- totally worth it.

Fantastic experience: I have to recommend this gem of a gym! The manager Lee and owner Kirk are so nice to have when you walk in from a long day at work and then to work out! Its your classic gym with a strong faith led owner and team! The other patrons are just so nice as well! Plenty of free weights and cardio machines. Clean shower and restrooms!

Fantastic experience: Stroud's is one of the best gyms anywhere! Looking for a gym where all the equipment is from the same mfgr and painted to match? Ha ha! You go right ahead! Stroud's equipment is hand picked for functionality, some custom made even, and a very effective layout/grouping. Its never too crowded and other members are always helpful when you need it. 5 stars for sure!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is like a second home, from staff to clientele. Everyone is helpful, professional, polite and willing to assist in any way needed. I highly recommend joining Stroud's Fitness, whether you're just starting to get in better shape or are a competitive professional!

Fantastic experience: Gym atmosphere is great. Everyone in the gym is positive and encouraging. They make it a point to call you by your name and greet you and there are plenty of professionals to help you with your fitness goals. If you want a real training gym this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Stroud's Fitness one of the best gyms in Fort Worth Texas you can't beat a better gym best atmosphere outstanding equipment everyone's a family God given sent gym

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Strouds Fitness for over 12 years.. Of all the gyms that I have worked out at Strouds is my favorite. I have been a member at Get Fit in Arlington, Golds Gym in Arlington, 24 Hour Fitness, YMCA in Arlington and Womacks Gym in Watauga. I was also a member at Power Shack in Abilene, Texas for 9 years. Kirk and Samm Stroud are very good Christian and loving people. About ten years ago they adopted two children and they are awesome parents. Strouds is in between a hard core gym and a shiny new equipment gym. You will always be greeted by a friendly receptionist and a unique quality of Kirk is he knows everyones name. Stop in at Sroud's and check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Started working out at a gym for the first time in many years. Mr. Stroud was patient and kind while he showed me around. I signed up on the spot! I have the utmost respect for what Mr. Stroud has created; a clean and welcoming place for all to exercise, trIn and/or lose weight

Fantastic experience: When I walked into Strouds I was looking for a change. A change in my motivation and a change in my life. Not only does the owner remember everyones name but the trainers and members smile and speak to you. No one is there to crush someones goals or progress they only encourage. Weather your a newbie whos never been in a gym or a person whos a few years in and just looking for a change I fully recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Large range of equipment. Plenty of space. Music isn't too loud, can be easily blocked by earbuds. You don't get warnings about scuffing brand new cushions. You're not shunned or sneered at for grunting during a heavy lift. There are stations with heavy duty safety measures for when you're doing heavy lifts. A place built for striving towards excellence. Formidable minds find themselves at home in this place.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! They have all of the specialty bars for powerlifting and everything else you could need for training. Friendly members and staff!

Positive experience: Gentileza, organização e profissionalismo

Fantastic experience: Great gym everything you would ever need for any type of fitness goals strength powerlifting bodybuilding General fitness great staff super nice and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, everyone is like family ... clean facilities.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, manager Lee and owner Kirk always have positive energy and good christian men.

Fantastic experience: Best gym to go to

Positive experience: This is a real gym with real powerlifting equipment. No nothing is fancy and all the machines work and they have been working for decades. You're not going to find Loud banging music, yoga areas, women only rooms or cross fit B.S., just heavy weights and sturdy machines. You will find men AND WOMEN who want to be stronger and bigger but at the same time don't judge what you're doing no matter what shape, age or condition you're in.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place! I love it.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms I have ever been to! Always helped me when I needed it! You will not be disappointed! Recommend highly!!

Negative experience: Theres this one trainer he is very rude !! And he sells cars at his job !! He doesnt even a dealer license..he will scam u !!! He wont give u a title !! BEWARE OF THIS GUY MIKE GIDEON

Fantastic experience: Good weightlifting gym without all the frills and high priced gimmicks.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! They are like family. Everyone is so welcoming and best part about the gym is the Faith it carries!

Fantastic experience: I love strouds fitness. The place is the perfect size for someone who is just starting out and the employees are awesome.

Fantastic experience: Strouds Fitness is an incredible Gym. I highly recommend Strouds Fitness because of the cleanliness, organization, hours of operation and professionalism. Kirk (Owner) is welcoming, kind, Kid friendly, and full of diversity. The week I became a member I was reevaluating my surroundings. Sad but true. When Kirk, kindly said: "My doors are open".

Fantastic experience: Awesome hardcore gym Great people, Kirk is awesome Have everything you need

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Strouds Fitness for 19 years. No better gym for the serious lifter. Kirk and Samm are fine people.

Fantastic experience: An old-fashioned gym that gets straight to the point of a workout. Supportive staff and friendly atmosphere with all the equipment and acumen you need to help you in your quest to get your body healthy and hot!

Fantastic experience: Best gym nice people

Fantastic experience: Beat gym in the metroplex!!!! If your a powerlifter that competes or thinking about come train in the legendary dungeon and there is wall to wall of plenty of machines, free weights and even a dojo!!!! Great people everywhere you look. Great gym

Fantastic experience: Excelent place. Great service Family business. Charming people and very helpful. I recommend this gym if you want to make a change in your life

Fantastic experience: This is not a mom gym, no marble floors, no piped in easy listening station, there are no juice bars, you don't go here to get a pedi or your hair done. This is an honest to goodness "WE GONNA PUMP U UP" place, you want results go here. The place has lots of energy, knowledgeable people, clean and they wont look at you funny if you drop the weights on the squat rack. One of the best muscle gyms in DFW!!

Fantastic experience: Overall great experience so far. Slightly older looking appearance and style, but all equipment seems to be continually in working order. The gym members and staff are friendly and helpful. If the locker room space was redone, it’d be perfect. But considering the excellent price, I still give it a 5/5.

Fantastic experience: I’m honored to say this gym is my home. The people are incredible- both staff and gym fam. When I was going through the roughest part of my life, everyone at strouds uplifted me, and loved on me. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this gym in my life. The gym itself has an Iron gym feel, yet welcoming and friendly inside. Unlike any other gym around! No judgement, just weights and encouragement!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym family, this is the place. Stroud's is a real gym for a real workout. Jam packed with equipment and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The members there are focused, educated, and motivated. Best part is how nice they all are, even the trainers - always willing to answer simple questions you might have. My only complaint is when people don't rack the weights when they're done and the staff doesn't monitor or rectify that very well.

Fantastic experience: Strouds Fitness is an iconn in the industry. Powerlifting and bodybuilding. They let you do what it takes to achieve your goals. Staff and owner (Kirk Stroud) are always super friendly. Go to this gym if you are looking for that old school feel.

Fantastic experience: If you are wanting to change a little or alot, you have to come here. You will find open hearts to share their experience and help you meet your goals. The childcare is great and the staff is so sweet and knowledgeable. If you have a goal in mind, they will help you meet it and you will find a safe place for kids and a fun place to get in shape.
