👍👍 I currently live in the Austin area but visit Dallas often to see family & friends. I’m always in search of an independent gym that has great powerlifting equipment but also plenty of high quality bodybuilding machines to supplement as well. I’ve been to several gyms in the dallas area and Battle Ax... People often mention equipment, great, powerlifting, environment,

    I currently live in the Austin area but visit Dallas often to see family & friends. I’m always in search of an independent gym that has great powerlifting equipment but also plenty of high quality bodybuilding machines to supplement as well. I’ve been to several gyms in the dallas area and Battle Axe has been one of my favorites to date! They have a ton of powerlifting equipment (3 combos, 3-4 OPBs, deadlift platforms, calibrated plates) and a ton of great bodybuilding machines (belt squat, hack squat, cable machine, dbs, and many many more that I have attached pictures of). They also have a ton of strongman equipment if that is something you are interested in (not pictured). Besides the equipment, the community has been very welcoming to someone who was only visiting for 2 weeks. It all starts with Derek! He is the owner of the gym but is super friendly and talks to each member at the gym. As I got to know him more, you could see that he put his heart and soul into the gym and is always looking for ways to make improvements (for example he just added that new carpet for us powerlifters). He also just had his first powerlifting meet this past weekend which seemed to go well! All the members/staff I met were super kind as well and helpful if you need anything at all! I’m excited to be able to go to this gym whenever I’m in the Dallas area! You know you have something good whenever you have a built a nice positive gym environment and community. Thanks again, Derek! Hope you can come check out Gameday Barbell in Austin whenever you visit 😄

    One of the best strength training gyms in the Greater Dallas Area! The range of equipment for strongman and powerlifting is excellent, and you can tell that each piece was added for good reason throughout the gym. It is always refreshing to see the owners of the gym working out in the gym, it really shows that they are invested in the environment just as much as any member that is there. Had a phenomenal time and I will return every time i visit the Dallas area.

    Could not ask for a better environment, group of people, and equipment selection. This gym is exactly what you want if you're looking to take training seriously and have a supportive environment doing so. Everyone is positive, helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to setting and achieving goals. Highly recommend setting up a day pass to give it a try and see first hand how great it is.

    Absolutely the best gym in DFW. Everyone treated me like family, and every piece of equipment is world class standard. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    Awesome environment for strength training! Derek is a great coach offering remote programming. I've been on one of his programs for the last three months, and I've seen the numbers on the barbell keep moving up. The gym members are kind and helpful as well.

    I was in town for the weekend. Derek was very welcoming. This will be my gym every time I’m in Dallas.

    One of the best strength and conditioning facilities in Texas with an emphasis on strongman. A great atmosphere. Gotta check it out.

    Great gym, top tier equipment which they definitely do not cheap out on. Extremely welcoming environment and Derek, the owner, is super nice and outgoing. Very knowledgeable as well so whatever your goals are he will have a plan to help you get there.

    Been coming to Battle Axe Barbell for over a year now and just since I’ve been here the ownership has purchased dozens of new pieces of strongman, powerlifting, and bodybuilding equipment. The gym is constantly changing for the better and growing with a great community of lifters of various skills and disciplines. As a powerlifter it’s been amazing to have a training facility with plentiful kilo plates and various competition bars and racks. I just can’t reccomend this gym enough.

    I've dropped by Battle Axe multiple times since they first open their doors in 2019. Each time I've dropped by I've been blown away by the friendliness of the staff, owners, and the community they are building. The team at Battle Axe continue to improve the facility to make it an ideal place to train for all strength athletes ranging from powerlifting, strongman, and etc. Truly a great gym!
