Within Open Gym, these are the specific training topics members dig into at Vickery.
Strength Training in Dallas
Strength training at Vickery Athletics in Dallas, TX is coached and programmed — not bro-split, not random. Members build the squat, bench, press, and deadlift through structured 6–10 week cycles that progress intensity and volume deliberately. Every class has a coach watching your setup, your bar path, and your numbers week over week.
Aerobic conditioning at Vickery Athletics in Dallas, TX is planned, coached, and designed to build capacity — not just redline you for 40 minutes. Cycles include zone-based aerobic work, anaerobic efforts, and recovery intervals so members get measurably fitter without the burnout that comes from all-out training every session.
Barbell training at Vickery Athletics in Dallas, TX is technical, coached, and progressive. Members learn and progress the back squat, front squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench press, and Olympic-lift variations like the clean and power clean — all within coached group classes or 1-on-1 personal training sessions.
Vickery Athletics coaches group fitness classes in Dallas, TX built around the schedules of working professionals in Uptown, Knox-Henderson, and East Dallas. 5:30am and 6:30am classes for pre-work training, 12:00pm for midday, and 4:30pm–6:30pm for post-work. Every class is 60 minutes, coached, and structured — no wasted time, on-site showers, straight into your day.
Open gym at Vickery Athletics is available to established members on Unlimited or 12x/month plans after 1 month of membership. The wait gives new members time to build a coached foundation before training solo on the floor in Dallas.
Why is there a waiting period for open gym?
The 1–2 month wait is a feature, not a limitation. It gets you reps in coached classes first, so when you train solo during open gym you already know the movements, your scaling, and how to run a session safely and productively.
When is open gym available?
Open gym happens during off-class hours. Exact windows shift with the class schedule — ask your coach or check the Vickery Athletics member app for the current open gym blocks.
What equipment is available?
The full Vickery floor: barbells, bumper plates, squat rigs, benches, dumbbells, kettlebells, machines, assault bikes, rowers, and plyo gear. Everything you need to run a full session on your own.
Is there coaching during open gym?
Coaches are often on the floor during open gym running their own work or prepping for the next class, so you can ask for a cue or a set check. It isn't a coached class — it's your time to train your own program.
Can I bring a friend to open gym?
Non-members need to come through as a drop-in or a free trial class, not as an open gym guest. Have them book a drop-in or claim 2 free classes at (469) 734-3343.
Can I use open gym to follow my own program?
Yes. Open gym is the right place to follow a PT program, an outside program you're running, or your own strength work between class days.
Is open gym included in my membership?
Yes. Open gym access is included in the Unlimited and 12x/month memberships once you're past the 1–2 month foundation window. Drop-ins and 10-class packs do not include open gym.
