Northspur Residents: Your Guide to Fitness Between Forney and Terrell
Northspur is the newest major development on the US-80 corridor between Forney and Terrell. With 1,500 homes planned across 700 acres, Phase 1 is already filling up with families from M/I Homes and Impression Homes — and the community is just getting started.
If you’re one of the first residents moving in, you already know the deal: the neighborhood is brand new, the infrastructure is still catching up, and local amenities are limited. That includes gyms.
Here’s the good news: TX Fitness is right down US-80, and it’s the closest full-service gym to Northspur.
How Far Is TX Fitness From Northspur?
Northspur sits right along US Highway 80 between Forney and Terrell. TX Fitness is located at 127 E US Highway 80 in Forney — a straight shot west. Depending on which phase of Northspur you’re in, the drive is roughly 8–12 minutes. No turns, no backroads, no tolls. Just US-80 the whole way.
For comparison, driving into Terrell’s downtown or heading west toward Mesquite would take you further from your gym — and farther from the equipment you need.
What Northspur Doesn’t Have Yet
As a new development, Northspur’s planned amenities include a resort-style pool, lounges, and play areas. But full-service fitness? That’s not part of the plan. There’s no weight room, no squat racks, no personal training — and when you’re building real strength or working toward a specific goal, a pool and a walking path aren’t going to cut it.
At TX Fitness, you get:
- Free weights — dumbbells from 5 to 120+ lbs, plus barbells and plates
- Squat racks and bench stations — multiple setups so you’re not waiting
- Cable machines — a full crossover area for accessory work
- Cardio equipment — treadmills, bikes, stair climbers, ellipticals
- Functional training area — turf, sleds, and battle ropes for circuit-style workouts
- Personal training — one-on-one coaching to build a program that matches your goals
Families Are Already Making the Drive
Northspur is attracting the same demographic as Heartland and Gateway Parks — young families with kids who want space, good schools, and an affordable cost of living east of Dallas. And those families need a gym that works with their schedules.
TX Fitness opens at 5:00 AM on weekdays, so early risers can train before the morning chaos. The Kids Zone is supervised and set up for children of all ages, which means parents don’t have to choose between a workout and watching the kids.
Memberships start at $19 biweekly — less than what most people spend on coffee each week.
The US-80 Advantage
One of the underrated perks of living in Northspur is that everything you need is along US-80. Gym, groceries, gas, restaurants — it’s all on the same corridor. Many TX Fitness members from the east side of the area combine their gym session with errands in Forney, making it a single efficient trip rather than multiple drives on different days.
That matters when you’re commuting to Dallas for work and every minute at home counts.
A Gym That Was Here Before the Boom
Northspur is new. TX Fitness is not. The gym has been locally owned in Forney since 2001 — it’s watched the area grow from a quiet stretch of highway to one of the fastest-growing corridors in North Texas. The staff isn’t going anywhere. The community they’ve built over two decades is real.
When your neighborhood is still finding its identity, it helps to have a gym that already has one.
Come See It
