Metroflex Gym was founded in 1987 by Brian Dobson who was getting tired of the commercialization of the fitness industry. Back then Gold's gym was the standard for hardcore training. The Gold's gym of Arnold's era was hardcore but the 1987 version was quickly fading into the mediocrity of corporate and family fitness centers. Of course if the goal is to become mega rich this is a great plan. If the goal is to build super athletes strongmen, powerlifting and bodybuilding champions something different had to be done. Brian understood the need for hard music for motivation ,the need for heavy(over 200 pound ) dumbbells, specialized bars for powerlifting, strongman equipment, chalk, deadlift and squat platforms and yelling, screaming slapping , whatever it takes to get motivated.

When member Ronnie Coleman became Mr.Olympia in 1998 Metroflex became known worldwide as the definition for hardcore training. This tradition continues today with IFBB pro Branch Warren leading the ranks of competitive bodybuilders that train there and elite strength athlete Josh Bryant leading the ranks of powerlifting ,strongmen and Highland Game s athletes who train there currently. Josh brings a wealth of training knowledge to Metroflex and we are very blessed to have him here.

The Metroflex Gym tradition continues through the Metroflex Gym affiliate licensing program.Awesome hardcore training centers are beginning to go up around the U.S. and the world all with the same hardcore training philosophy established by Brian Dobson in the original Arlington Texas location.

About Brian Dobson

In Brian's own words " I am just an old redneck hunter that has been anointed by God to find, build and create champions ."

That said he is much more than a so called training guru. At 52 years old he can still beat down 90% of most pro bodybuilders in a hardcore session. His training began at 14 years old with the goal of getting stronger for football. 38 years of hardcore training have netted him many trophies in bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman contests with several state, national and world records.He doesn't just talk the talk, he will walk the walk.

Spare time will find him in church or in the woods with his beloved hog hunting dogs taking down large boar with a knife or spear that are used to feed the poor, elderly and homeless in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.

Brian is married to his beautiful bride Brandi and has 3 kids Cassadie 14,Dani 17 and Brandon Ray 28.
