I have never trained there when it was above 100, but a couple of time it was in the 90's and you almost have like a instant pump and you only need like 1 warm up set, because you are already sweating by the time you get out of the car.  and the fans there just blow the hot air around.  I always carry a full size towel in there, and by the end, it is normally soaked.

Yes. Twice.

 1st time Ronnie was there but it was middle of Feburary and he was offseason so he was more or less tinkering around with the weights and bullshitting with a couple other big greasy negroes. Gym was somewhat empty with loud blaring RAP over the stereo.

 2nd time it was in September and it was HOT. Ronnie wasn't there and the gym was somewhat empty. LOUD metal music playing.

 Brian was behind front desk on the internet or giving his hunting dogs a bath by out in front of the place.

Bluto, myself and the rest of the team Levrone crew should hit up Metroflex. We'd wreck the place with our intense workouts.

If you are in the Dallas area you should try Texas Gym.   It is alot like Metroflex.  It was voted most hard core gym by some power lifting mag.

yeah perhaps you can ask Ronnie to just shut up whenever he trains. He's scaring away the customers and shitting on Brian's membership business

I bet you there are lots of people who joins Metroplex just because everybody else says it's a hardcore place. Hell, most of these idiots would probably benefit more from their Local bally's

I have lived in Dallas my whole life and have never wanted to go train at Metroflex

So you're my neighbor I always see smuggling big boxes of porn into his house. I'll say hi next time!   ;D



As for Metroflex, I've been here the past 11 years and haven't made it to Metroflex yet either. Flame away if you must, but the 24 hour fitness I go to has a great atmosphere on some days. Art Atwood's a semi-regular (before he got busted), so is that TJ guy that you see in all the new Prolab ads, among a lot of other amateur BB's too. There's several powerlifters too so there's usually a decent amount of weight being thrown around. I don't need 100+ temperatures to get motivated, if the average lifter is pressing a 100lbs more than me then you automatically turn it up a notch.

Last August. The giant thermometer on the back wall read 110º. There's a GIANT fan that does a good enough job of circulating hot, stale air. Cobwebs everywhere. I was covered in dirt when I left. Branch was training like a madman.

I saw that, one was a white dude about 150 pounds  ;D

If only Ronnie visited getbig, he could've thrown in something like "Daaaaamn baby, you is a BEAST!!!!  Look at dem 12" inch arms baby!!  Oh bruddah, I bet you da type of guy who come in here wid no shirt so's he can rub his nekkid skin against da benches I use and gets a hard on, gayer dan Cutler..."

I remember that day Shawn. I have the footage for all to see -


I train there when I can. I stayed in Texas for a week following the Ronnie Coleman Classic with one purpose in mind - to chew on the Iron there with Branch and his training partner Jay Moore. I threw up more times than I care to share but I cant wait until this coming August to do it all over again.

why you throw up? you a girly man or something?

ive never seen ronnie throw up not even once

and nobody would blame him if he did, consider what he eats for breakfast each morning
Title: Re: any of you trained at METROFLEX ???
Post by: Mr Gethin on June 25, 2007, 07:16:50 PM
I threw up because -

I was training legs at a much faster pace than usual

I normally train heavy duty (one set to failure)

I wasnt used to the many multiple drop sets

I wasnt used to the heat.................... .......and I'm a girly man

I've always wanted to train at MetroFlex.....just for a day though. Not a good environment to train anymore with the huge attraction it is now.....seemed much nicer circa 96-97 when you could go in there and be the only one training.

Throwing up in that heat after multiple sets wouldn't be any surprise. From what i've heard of that gym they probably wouldn't clean it up till late in the week. :-X
