Overland Grove and Trinity Crossing Families: Your Neighborhood Gym Guide
Overland Grove and Trinity Crossing are two of Forney’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. Overland Grove has the brand-new O.B. Johnson Elementary right inside the community. Trinity Crossing is deep into multiple phases with Lennar building family-friendly homes as fast as the demand allows.
Both neighborhoods are packed with young families. Both are within minutes of each other. And both share the same challenge: where do you work out?
Neither community has a full-service gym on-site. But they don’t need one — because TX Fitness is right up the road.
How Close Are You?
Both Overland Grove and Trinity Crossing are located off US-80 in central Forney. TX Fitness sits at 127 E US Highway 80 — which means you’re looking at a drive of roughly 3–5 minutes depending on which entrance you use.
That’s not a commute. That’s barely enough time to pick a song on your phone.
What Both Neighborhoods Are Missing
The homes in these communities are well-built and the neighborhoods are well-designed. But when it comes to fitness, what’s available inside the community — a walking path, maybe a small pool — doesn’t replace a real gym.
Here’s what TX Fitness has waiting for you just down US-80:
Full Strength Training Floor
- Dumbbells from 5 to 120+ lbs
- Multiple squat racks and bench press setups
- Plate-loaded leg press, hack squat, and Smith machines
- Cable crossover stations for every isolation movement you need
Cardio Equipment
Treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers, and stationary bikes — enough variety that you’re never waiting for a machine, even during peak hours.
Functional Training Area
Turf, sleds, battle ropes, and open floor space. If you want to do something beyond the standard machines — circuits, HIIT, athletic-style training — this area is built for it.
Kids Zone
This is the game-changer for both communities. Overland Grove and Trinity Crossing are full of families with young kids. The Kids Zone at TX Fitness is supervised, clean, and designed to keep your children safe and entertained while you train. No babysitter needed. No skipping the gym because the kids don’t have anywhere to go.
Built for Forney Families
TX Fitness has been locally owned in Forney since 2001. That’s over two decades of serving this community — long before Overland Grove or Trinity Crossing existed. The gym didn’t show up because the neighborhoods grew. It was already here, and it’s been the fitness home for Forney families through every wave of growth.
That history shows up in the culture. The staff knows members by name. People help each other out. It’s not a corporate gym with a call center — it’s a neighborhood gym that happens to have serious equipment.
Making It Work With a Family Schedule
The families from Overland Grove and Trinity Crossing who stay most consistent tend to follow a few patterns:
- 5:00 AM crew — TX Fitness opens early on weekdays. Get the workout done before school drop-off and the commute to work.
- Kids Zone mornings — mid-morning is a popular time for parents with younger kids. Drop them in the Kids Zone and train for 45–60 minutes.
- Weekend sessions — Saturday mornings at the gym, then grab breakfast in Forney. It becomes a family tradition.
- Errand stacking — since TX Fitness is on US-80, combine the gym with grocery shopping, gas, or anything else you need in town.
At $19 biweekly, the price isn’t a barrier. The only barrier is getting started — and with a 3-minute drive, that excuse is gone too.
