    This family-owned gym is the best! The workouts are straightforward yet challenging. Brian was extremely supportive of my goal to become active again and Kristin consistently gave great encouragement while correcting my form. Together they made my visit to Fort Worth a healthier one and I'm extremely grateful to have worked with them, even for a short amount of time. In sum, Kristin and Brian put their clients first and I would recommend anyone living and/or visiting the area to check them out!

    Hidden gem in Fort Worth. If you are serious about training this gym should be on your radar and at the top of your list in this area. Extremely well equipped: squat racks and lifting platforms, plenty of kettlebells, barbells and plates and dumbbells of course. The gym is focused on functional training, no nonsense equipment around. Every corner and peace of equipment is well maintained (looks brand new actually) and spotlessly clean. Kristin and Brian are welcoming polite and knowledgeable, they know what it is all about when it comes to working out and performance. Waste no time looking around, this is the right spot!

    I cannot recommend The Lab, Brian, and Kristin enough!!! They are so committed to the success of their clients that it's basically unlimited personal training for a fraction of the cost of other gyms. I started in January (122 lbs) with the goal of looking more fit/losing body fat before a trip to Mexico this summer. After just 2 months, I'm already halfway to my weight loss goal (now 116 lbs and down 2.5% body fat) and more importantly, I (and everyone else) can see a drastic difference. Workouts and nutrition are tailored to you, your goals, and the amount of time you can commit. If you are not meeting your goals in the timeframe that you want, Brian will work with you to change your workouts so that you're not wasting time doing something that isn't working. All that said, the absolute best part about The Lab is Brian and Kristin. They will hold you accountable for your goals and challenge you to set new goals. They will welcome you every morning with positive attitudes. And they won't let you fail! I can't wait to update this post with a before/after picture when I surpass my goal this summer. Please try this gym right away if you're serious about changing your fitness.

    Love this gym! They offer an amazing workout, high intensity, great quality exercise! I love the 4 station format and Kristen is helpful throughout the workout explaining the workouts, encouraging me and counting down the time. I love coming to the performance lab- it’s a hard workout but I’m always glad I’ve come!

    October 2023 Update - In just 4 months Coach Randi has helped me up my endurance, confidence, and overall health to the best I’ve been in a very long time. The Lab provides an opportunity for body scans, and mine has changed dramatically in just a few weeks. Coach Randi has kicked my butt and it’s really paying off! I can’t thank Randi and Brian enough for their continued encouragement and helping me change my life. And I never would’ve thought I could a box jump, look at me now! 😊 July 2023 original post - Coach Randi is amazing!! She gets a million out of ten stars. She is patient, kind, and really knowledgeable! She made me feel confident in my abilities and listened to my concerns. Thank you for an incredible workout and experience, Randi!

    Of the upmost professionalism and the definition of supreme. Come in and talk to Brian, the owner and I can guarantee from the moment you speak to him you can tell he genuinely cares about the health of his clients. I was visiting my son @cooks medical and he made me feel right at home. Gave me a tour and allowed me to use his facility for a mere drop fee and assured me I could return all day for the same fee. That’s unheard of. IFYKYK. There aren’t too many gym owners with that integrity let alone ones that are active at their gym daily. This gym is the truth, no lie.

    It's fun being a physician and getting to see (in real time) how helpful fitness coaching can be. The Lab is owned by Coach Brian and Coach Kris and they do a phenomenal job of being supportive while holding you accountable to your personal goals. "You can't improve what you don't track" and whether you doing strength training or HIIT, both Coaches tailor the workout to your specific need without letting you slack. I've been working out there now for about 3 years; I bought the MyZone belt to hold me accountable and I've lost weight, have better numbers (lowered my bad cholesterol) and improved my mood. As a small gym, it's clean and members are incredibly supportive of one another regardless of body type, job, personality, or skill level. I get nervous giving them a review because I want to keep my option open for workout times :D Well worth the cost!

    I can’t say enough good things about The Lab. Brian and Kris were so welcoming and knowledgeable. They focus on your goals and how to get you there in a healthy way. I started my training here being able to squat 195 pounds, a few months later I’m squatting 260. I’ve seen real results tailored to my lifestyle and my goals. They have all the equipment you could ever need and it’s all in pristine condition. Best of all, they have the cutest puppy that comes in to say hi. As someone new to TX, this gym has become my home away from home. Great people, great programs, great equipment, great energy. Brian and Kris also do a ton to help our their local community. They’ve hosted water donation drives and recently adopted a street for clean up. The lab is the best!

    This place is great! The owners are so welcoming. I’ve done their 30 minute circuit-style classes, which are always challenging and a fun mix of exercises. They also offer personal training and open gym, and they have all the (nice, new) equipment you could ever want, with TVs to keep you entertained. As someone who travels and tries different gyms/classes a lot, it can be hard to find a gym like this that clearly has built a solid community and focuses on strength training, that is also perfect for people like me to drop in for a class here and there, but they have nailed it! Give them a try, you won’t regret it.

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I was in town for a month and in need of a gym, and I am SO grateful I stumbled upon this hidden gem! Kris and Brian (gym owners) are so incredibly kind and welcoming, and cater to all kinds of athletes and individuals. Brian is extremely knowledgeable as a trainer and coach - I was fortunate I even had a few hours of personal training with him in his busy schedule of working with other professional athletes. HIGHLY recommend for anyone in the area!!!

    Stumbled upon this gym when traveling to DFW for work. They were so incredibly kind to allow us to get two 30 min workouts in for free! Coach Brian & Coach Chris were so welcoming, encouraging and definitely gave us a run for our money! HIIT training one day and strength the next. They definitely have a quality program & equipment! Sure wish we had one of these gyms near me!

    Was in Fort Worth for an event and I wish I had a gym like the Lab at home! Great energy, great owners who are super generous and knowledgeable. Really neat equipment and atmosphere. If you are in the area, you must check this place out!

  • 5/5 Red Square M. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Incredible place! I saw this place online and stopped by to check it out. I met Brian, who is the owner, who kindly offered to train me. It was one of the best workouts I have ever had. Brian took time to understand my concerns (abdominal separation) and created a workout specifically meet my needs. He was encouraging, knowledgeable and patient. He had been training for over 25 years and has a lot of athletes who come specifically to train with him. It was honestly an honor to train with him and I can’t wait to come again.

    I moved to Fort Worth a few months ago and was looking for a gym that feels like family. With a fitness journey you need people that believe in you even on the days it’s hard to believe in yourself- thankfully Brian and Kris have come into my life at a divine, necessary time! They have continued to tailor my gym regimen to my fitness goals, and always push me to do my best. I have always felt safe and supported. To be transparent, today I had a much needed emotional breakdown about my weight, tears and all. I’ve been struggling with my weight since childhood, and the journey can feel so heavy and exhausting at times. Just the fact that I felt safe enough to open up to them and be vulnerable in that moment validates my decision of choosing this gym. I am so thankful. If you feel lost and need people to show up for you- please give them a call. 🫶🏼10/10 highly recommended. Period.

    The Lab is the best place to workout hands down, Brian is easily the best strength trainer I have worked out with. Originally I came down to Texas for baseball purposes and signed up to lift with him 2 times a week. By the end of the week after doing both of those workouts , I decided that 5 times a week would make me in the best shape of my life. Not only does he do a great job of providing his knowledge and workouts for you, he motivates you and creates a relationship with all of the people that come in and out of there. I strongly recommend The Lab for anyone in Fort Worth or visiting Fort Worth!

  • 5/5 Cathy B. 10 months ago on Google
    Coach Randi and I used to teach together in FWISD. She offered classes this summer for educators to try out some workouts and have a chance to do something good for ourselves! She is a great trainer, I had a good workout and felt good each day when I left. She's good at modifying too, if needed!! I felt encouraged by everyone I met while I was there!! Highly recommend!

    I am so happy I found this gym. It is family-run with truly elite trainers, from the gentle but consistent accountability to the ease of communication and wealth of fitness knowledge. I have tried different boutique gyms for years and this is the first gym I've been at consistently for a whole year! Without variation, Brian and Kris provide a comfortable growing environment and exceptionally dynamic workouts, resulting in a special brand of confidence in my fitness goals and overall journey. I always step into the gym knowing I will emerge closer to my goals because of their passion for the GROWTH of their clients. I have to mention that the owners consistently pour into the community in all kinds of tangible ways, and it truly is amazing to see and be apart of. In sum, the workouts are great, the equipment is top tier, and the trainers are wonderful. You will become a better athlete AND person by involving yourself here. Don't hesitate to try them out.

    I love the Performance Lab! The owners Coach B and Coach K are always so positive and encouraging during the workouts. They really genuinely want you to reach your goals and keep your mind on the task at hand. I love the close knit vibes of this gym and run by folks who really care. I recently reached a milestone in my fitness journey and couldn’t have done it without the support of the Performance Lab. Can’t wait to see what other milestones I reach!!

  • 5/5 jackson b. 1 year ago on Google
    I started working out at the lab about a year ago and have been making very positive strides. Brian will write you a workout that works towards whatever goal you have in mind. Along with that Kris does a great job during the classes always counting down and cheering you on. Brian made me a personal lifting sheet that in just 2 weeks I already was making strides and getting a lot stronger. The Lab is the perfect workout environment and if you are looking for a place to workout this is the place to go!

  • 4/5 Anurag Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I think the gym is good based on the reviews and I wanted to join the gym but I could never contact them. My calls were never answered, and I needed a key card to get inside the building. Why is it so hard to get a membership? I am giving 4 stars because I think they are good people but dont have a good system in place to accept new members.

  • 5/5 Jamie K. 3 years ago on Google
    It took a full year for my friends to pull me in. Finally I went...... Why did I wait so long?!!! Brian has helped formalize a plan to help me achieve my fitness goals and help me shape my body. I’m motivated when I show in a positive atmosphere. The environment is supportive and the other members have become people I look forward to seeing! Coach K does meal prep and all I can say is abs are made in the kitchen! They are affordable, good, and it helps to have healthy meals available! Also it’s CLEAN! I went to LA Fitness for years and was grossed out by the conditions of the equipment and facilities. It’s always appreciated when I see Coach B cleaning! Thankful for these coaches and I’m so happy with the results in my body and mental health :)

  • 5/5 Soji J. 2 years ago on Google
    The lab is AMAZING! The HIIT workout is efficient and will leave you feeling a solid BURN. The functional movements will test you in all aspects- power, strength, endurance, etc. Brian is also just a great dude. Great energy and coaching. You can’t go wrong with the lab!!!

  • 5/5 Jonathan G. 1 year ago on Google
    The Performance Lab Fort Worth provides a great atmosphere to get your workout in. Brian and Kris are wonderful people and consummate professionals in how they interact with their clients and provide the necessary attention to detail.

  • 5/5 Leslie A. 2 years ago on Google
    I was looking for a gym close to my apartment and came across this gym online and decided to check it out. I’ve been going almost 5 days a week since I joined and have loved my experience. I decided that not only did I want to lose weight but I wanted to get stronger and transform my body, so i signed up for their training program; which I think one of the best deals you can get for one on one training. Ive been training with Felicia and she has made the experience so easy and so much fun that it feels like working out with a friend. I was very intimidated by the gym but she has helped me feel more confident and she always keeps me motivated. I’m already almost one pant size down, i’m stronger, more toned and I feel great. Its a small gym so it has a family feel to it. All the trainers are great, super friendly and so helpful. Can’t recommend this place enough if you want to start your health journey.

    I joined the 'Fit Class' this morning. It was an efficient 30min workout instructed by Coach Kris, who provided an ideal amount of guidance and encouragement. I appreciated the clean and well-equipped space, and the Near Southside location was easy to access with plenty of parking.

    Brian is a great guy who is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares for his clients! He has a very nice facility along with a strong community from his clients. I was visiting my brother who trains with Brian so I tagged along and really enjoyed the workout! I would highly recommend The Lab to anyone!

👍 A gym's a gym. Nothing too special about the place. Attendants are nice... as they should be. Facilities are clean... as they should be. Really, the only leg up they have on the competition is this on is open 24 hours. The fitness community loves to rag on PF, but the truth is it's a starter gym. Wh...

😠 I love to workout but my experience today motivated me to build my own gym at home. There were several lat pull down machines without the bar. I couldn’t find the rack with the bars on it, so I politely went to the front desk to get help. This dude act like he never heard of a lat pull down machine....
