There are certain things about Dallas that everyone knows to be true. Among those though, there’s no best place to work out. Where you go to exercise is your own choice, so why not just do it at home?
Instead of hunting around for a gym when you move to Dallas, get ahead of the game. Live somewhere that comes with its own fitness center.
For some inspiration on what’s out there in the Big D, check out these great apartment gyms across the city.
