I’ve been going to Starting Strength for about a month, and I’m honestly loving it! Every session makes me feel stronger and more confident. The workouts may look simple, but they’re super effective — all about learning the right technique and making real progress. Coach Morgan is awesome — super friendly, motivating, and pays close attention to every detail. You can tell he truly cares about helping you improve. The gym has a great vibe — everyone’s genuinely happy with their progress, and it’s really motivating to be around that energy. It’s a small group setup, but feels almost like personal training. I’m so glad I joined — can’t wait to see how much stronger I’ll get in the next few months! 💪

All the equipment you need to become a stronger and better person is here in this fantastic gym. The Starting Strength method works for everyone including you. My coach Josh was professional, friendly, and efficient with my lifts. The other members I worked out with were upbeat and fun to talk with. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Plano. Thanks againfor the coaching, Josh.

I worked with Coach Morgan at Starting Strength for about a year and absolutely loved my experience. The facilities are super nice and clean, you have average people who are all just looking to (and succeeding at!) getting really strong. It's a very casual and fun atmosphere with a heck of a training program. I had to cancel my membership due to moving but would 10/10 recommend this location and program to anyone regardless of experience with weight lifting.

I am a 70 year old Male. I was complaining to my son about losing muscle mass and he talked me into trying Starting Strength in Plano, where he works out. To be honest, I was hesitant about barbell training. Like most people my age I have a laundry list of old injuries and, for lack of a better phrase, an interesting health history. I figured it would be 2-3 weeks before I would be sidelined, either by aggravating an old injury or adding a new one to the list. And had I been working out on my own that is exactly what would have happened. But at Starting Strength you have a talented and experienced coaching staff supporting you every step of the way. They have a myriad of techniques for tailoring the exercises to your needs so you can continue to work out, no matter your limitations. I have worked with Michael the most, but also Brent and Josh. All of them are outstanding and have helped me and taught me a lot. Pay the money, show up and do the work the way they tell you to do it, and you will be surprised and pleased with the results.

Brent has built a welcoming and results-driven gym where everyone feels supported. Whether you're a beginner or experienced lifter, this is the best place to get stronger the right way. Highly recommend! 💪
