I admit it. For the majority of the last 25 years, I've been a gym rat. You know, one of those guys that has spent an outsized share of time sitting on spin bikes, hitting the weights, socializing with other patrons, and taking advantage of most every gym amenity as if it was my own. Yes, I developed a sick and ugly addiction to the sour smells of sweat and the sound of weight-lifting grunts. I found that my social circles pathetically included only other gym rats. And worst of all, I got the DT's each time I had to go home. My family and loved ones unsuccessfully tried countless times to do an intervention, attempting to break me from my soul-sucking addiction but nothing worked. Finally, it took the closures of gyms during the pandemic to finally break me free of my obsession. After belonging over 20 years to a competing gym facility, I decided to try Cooper Fitness after the pandemic loosened. I was attracted to the large open facilities, with well-maintained equipment, which also offered walking/jogging paths, tennis courts, outside pools. and a food grill. (And, of course, the founder of the Cooper Clinic, Dr. Ken Cooper, is a legend in fitness and preventive medicine.) The only times that the facility tends to get crowded seems to be in the mid-mornings. Most of the clientele is a bit older than many other health clubs in the area...which is okay in my book since I'm somewhat pleased to finally lose the preening rooster alpha-males who used to strut around in my old gym thinking they were like Hans and Franz in that old Saturday Night Live skit. And in later morning time frames, parking can occassionally be a challenge. At this time, the facility is getting an expansion, which I hope will provide a bit more space...I've got my fingers crossed that there will be more flexibility for floor stretching activities which can be strained at times. So head on over to Cooper Fitness and demonstrate your fitness prowess. And if you want to act like Hans and Franz, that's okay...I will forgive you.

Beautiful and legendary birthplace of "aerobics". The grounds are gorgeous with old trees, a jogging trail, pond with ducks and geese and great landscaping. Many of the old buildings could be updated, though the main fitness facility is outstanding. I'm not a member but do play tennis there weekly. Corey Noel is the head pro and runs drills and privates. Really fun groups for all levels. Definitely recommend!

I travel quite a bit so I've worked out in alot of gyms, hotel gyms to outdoor ones. Cooper Fitness Center is hands down, on the top of the list! We've been trying to stay at this Fitness Retreat since last year so we finally got it done this past weekend. Now that we've been, I regret that we didn't go sooner or stayed a little longer.I honestly didn't want to leave, it was so nice. Extremely clean facilities with staff cleaning up and maintaining the machines during my entire work out. All of the machines are very nice and modern as are the weights. This includes the bikes, treadmills, elliptical's,etc. No old, rusted or squeaky anything in this place. There's plenty of Mats, Foam Rollers and whatever else you can think of as well.When I went it wasn't very busy(both days), so I was able to access everything without having to wait... big plus. The staff was very friendly as were the members I spoke with. Also, it's in a good location so our drive to restaurants, etc wasn't bad at all.If you're into fitness and heading to Dallas, I highly recommend staying at the Cooper Fitness Resort. I can't wait to go back!

They won't publish their fitness center fees on their website, so I called. This is very much "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". $700 initiation and $201 a month... but no contract. I can't speak about the gym because I have not set foot in it. I'm sure it's amazing. For that price it has to be.

Absolutely the best gym. You get a trainer with you the entire workout and can go anytime of the day.
