I've been to a lot of gyms over the years, but this one stands out as one of the best. The facility is always clean, the equipment is top-notch and well-maintained, and the atmosphere is super motivating. What really makes the difference though is th... e staff—they're friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned lifter, there's something here for everyone. Classes are great, and there's never a long wait for machines. Highly recommend this place to anyone serious about fitness or just looking to level up their routine!Read more

Love this gym!😛

Update: I'm genuinely thrilled to see that the Eagle Cybex leg extension machine has finally been repaired, with a brand new seat, an upgraded shin pad, and an adjustable wheel to fine-tune shin pad placement. Thank you to the Big Tex staff for addre... ssing this issue; you may not realize just how much this means to some of us, even if the process took longer than hoped. My only remaining wish is that equipment maintenance continues to be a priority moving forward. Once again, thank you so much! I'm making this review with great hesitation, but alas, it must be done. Big Tex seriously lacks a proper leg extension machine. The only halfway decent one they had, tucked away in the small corner of the gym next to the Arsenal vertical leg press (“Eagle Fitness Systems by Cybex”), has been broken for months. The metallic adjustment handle is snapped off completely, making it impossible to set the pad to the correct height for shin contact. Without that adjustment, the machine is essentially unusable (only for those whose legs are long enough). This impediment virtually leaves the gym without a decent, functional leg extension machine, which is truly saddening. Leg extensions are absolutely crucial for fully targeting the quads, especially the rectus femoris, a muscle that squats and other compound leg movements can't effectively isolate to stimulate hypertrophy. The few other leg extension machines in the gym are poorly designed (from subpar manufacturers), with poor resistance profiles, limited range of motion, or insufficient weight capacity, making it nearly impossible to train the quads maximally to stimulate growth. Until this is fixed, I'll be doing my leg workouts at Planet Fitness instead; at least they have relatively decent leg extensions. On a final note, it's truly disheartening to see that Big Tex's sister gym, Iron Forge, is receiving more special attention with the equipment from Panatta.Read more
