Brickhouse Gym

Awful experience in their childcare. I understand sometimes things like this can happen, but how it got to this point, I have no idea. My daughter now has scars from her incident in their childcare. There were 2 adults and less than 10 children in 1 room. The fact that my daughter got so scratched up was clear negligence. To add insult to injury, the childcare employee was so nonchalant about what happened, and wouldn’t give us any information. There was no incident report filed, and the owner seemed as if us following up about the issue was a burden to him. If you have children and are considering going here… Don’t! I joined because it was a low monthly cost included with childcare. Well, you get what you pay for.

Really happy with this gym. All the staff that I have met have been friendly, not pretentious and willing to help. Equipment is older but remarkably well maintained. Gym has thus far never been crowded and I’ve had no issues going through my sometimes-​complex workouts. Lots of natural light comes in through the side of the gym that faves unicorn lake. Track around the lake is beautiful and motivates me to run more than a treadmill, though they have plenty of those as well. I do wish that the gym were open later on Saturdays due to my work schedule but other than that I have no complaints. Very happy with my move to Denton and very excited about my new gym

Comparing this to a gym closer to the university: less dudebros. However, that just means you have less motivation to get pumped up and wear a muscle shirt that opens up the possibilities of GTL and all night partying.
The layout is one giant open lot that is filled with cardio machines, free weights, weight machines, and more. Many people complained about creepers staring at them and honestly, I can attest this is true. Every time I go, I find people drooling over my glorious calves and forearm definition. It’s truly a sight, but I know how to cover up just enough to entice. Animals.
The machines are ancient. Ancient enough that, like counting rings on a tree, one could count the nicks and dents on a dumbbell or a machine and the total would probably be the age of that equipment. Despite the wear and tear, these machines are adequate. I will come here whenever I make my trek to Denton and get my dose of swoliosis.
Still, why is there ALWAYS an old dude naked in the locker room.

I was so happy to leave Diesel I thought we had found our new gym home… Um nope
some of the same issues at Diesel were here, the equipment is old, many of the pads are worn, I can’t worry about shoddy padding on an incline bench ripping into my thighs when I am lifting about as much as Ronnie Coleman, ok maybe not that much but it feels like it.
Creepers but not nearly as many as the aforementioned, and kids, again not as many and not nearly with the horrible form as the tykes at Diesel.
The best part is Brickhouse is so close to my house! BUT the hours suck.
Basically the hours and the stream of teens coming in without key cards (looked like they are all friends with staff not paying members), are the reasons we left.

Nice people good equipment and excellent trainer’s some of their treadmills could use a little updating but they keep the place clean and the staff is very friendly.

Decent gym, I won’t lie. Great selection of equipment and organized well to my liking. The upkeep is great, people always cleaning, most people friendly. The view is awesome with the lake and a nice little running path around it if you want some sun. The gym in itself is pretty darn good and you can get some serious work done there.
Now the downside; not so much for me. I get in the zone when I lift so tend to focus on my workout and nothing much else. My girlfriend complained some guys were creeping on her. I figured whatever boys will be boys. Then I found out it was the staff. To entertain myself I began watching them when she’d be working out and yep, creepy… I mean biting your lip and staring at the butt creepy. I can understand, a girls hot, you can appreciate beauty, but when you’re a 280 pound sweaty butterball or approaching your mid 60’s, things get weird. Now I know what you’re thinking, it’s just guys being guys. No, this is different. This is like guys who’ve never socialized with a female their entire life awkward creepy. The type of guy who if a passing girl smiles at thinks they’re getting married to. The 30 year old virgin guy but not the virgin that just gave up type, the virgin that is so insanely desperate he forgot that a vagina is just something attached to another human being and can’t interact properly.
In summary, great gym, it really is I’ll hand that to them. But the staff can get weird on you fast. If you’re a hot girl, workout with a tazer. We really liked the gym but she doesn’t want to come back because of the staff. I still may use it because the equipment is great.

The staff are SO NOT FRIENDLY, they are pretentious snobs, the equipment is outdated and everythings dirty, not worth what they charge

It’s time to get back in shape. Not like it’s too bad, but I do need to keep up with a four year old. So I’m checking out gyms around Denton. This is a good, simple weights gym with some cardio equipment and even a few classes. All the cardio equipment looks out to Unicorn Lake and the staff is friendly. I know I need to do this if I ever want to attempt to do roller derby. Yeah, I said roller derby. You really need to be fit in order to try something that crazy… so yeah, there will be gym time in my near future.
Support Denton Businneses.

In order to get myself motivated, I commited to personal training lessons with Katy. I had worked with her before, and she is very flexible with time, so I asked for 30 minute training sessions instead of an hour. This way, I can really work on myself and not feel like I’m stealing time away from my family and friends.
It is very fast paced but I like being super productive! Besides, 30 minutes is not too long to sacrifice, it is ONLY 30 minutes! So, if you’re looking for a trainer, come talk to the great people at Brickhouse. Katy is awesome and her hubby, Reza, is also a trainer there. They are both healthy and push you to make sure you get what you’re paying for!

Staff is awesome here. Very inviting people and the few times i needed a spotter when i didn’t have one they were more than willing to help out. The place is extra clean and you can always find someone making sure of that. The equipment is in excellent shape! Not a big deal, but it does somewhat overlook a nice pond for viewing pleasure. Just a great gym! Overall the only thing it lacks is things such as saunas, racketball courts, pool, etc…
