Hello everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know who is fond of true old school vintage type gyms out there, that I may have found the best!! I have been in Dallas for close to two years now and the other day I stumbled upon "Dougs Gym" Wow!! If you come to Dallas for any reason, you must go there. I spoke with Doug, 73 years old, still works out, opened it in 1962 and a great guy!

Good article, better video! Reminded me of the old Alex's Sports Palace on 20th & Valencia in SF. Thanks for this.

That is incredible. I wish there was a place like that near me.
Interesting quote from Doug:
"Nature, if left alone, wants to destroy us all. If we can't prevent it, we've got to interfere. Left alone, we'll become a pile of crap."

"Old School" GYM--incredible!

It's a real gym but a 2,000 mile commute is too far for me. Instead, I should quite my job and move there to train at that gym.
