    Plano recruits new Dallas Cowboys-approved health and fitness center

    Frisco might be football mecca, but the Cowboys' star is shooting to Plano for a new health and fitness center that lets guests work out like the pros. Cowboys Fit Plano opened June 25 at 4817 West Park Blvd., Ste 800.

    According to a release, the 45,000-square-foot facility is filled with the same cutting-edge equipment used in the Cowboys’ training facility and the same “train like one of us” experience central to the original Cowboys Fit location, which is at The Star in Frisco.

    “We’re very proud to build on the success of the original Cowboys Fit by bringing a second iteration to the Plano community,” says Jerry Jones Jr., executive vice president and chief sales and marketing officer for the Dallas Cowboys, in a release. “Health and fitness are key pillars for our business, so creating another inspiring and motivating environment where people can work out like a Dallas Cowboy was a no-brainer.”

    Although members are not promised the chance to hit a treadmill next to Dak or Zeke, there's no mistaking the Cowboys brand. Logos and images are emblazoned on walls, floors, and on the website. A ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 25 included Cowboys VP Charlotte Jones Anderson, as well as Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

    The company says gym members will have access to offerings and amenities including:

    • State-of-the-art free weights and weight machines alongside an indoor sports turf field, Olympic weights and platforms, and boxing and functional equipment
    • Indoor cycling and group fitness classes, including barre, circuit training, and yoga
    • Performance and personal training programs with elite trainers
    • Behind-the-scenes access to the team’s world headquarters (with dual location membership options)
    • Recovery lounge, featuring innovations such as cryotherapy, hydro massage, normatech recovery, and tanning
    • On-site childcare

    According to the website, individual, couples, and family memberships are available, starting at just over $50 per month, excluding fees. To celebrate the opening, the gym is offering two weeks free. (Check the website for details and promo code.)

    Cowboys Fit is staffed with a fitness director and certified personal trainers who look like they know their way around a weight room. Mark Mastrov, chairman of New Evolution Ventures and founder of 24 Hour Fitness, is at the helm.

    “We have no doubt that Cowboys Fit Plano will be an exceptional addition to the Plano community,” Mastrov says in the release.

    There's no mistaking that it's a Cowboys-branded gym.

    Dallas animal shelter invites residents to host a pet during holiday

    Dallas Animal Services (DAS) is inviting the community to help bring pets “Home for the Holidays” by adopting or fostering during one of the shelter’s busiest times of the year.

    DAS has achieved strong positive outcomes this quarter, including adoptions, foster-to-adopt placements, and underage foster placements, with 1,377 in October and 1,378 in November. The department is now working toward a December goal of 1,400 positive outcomes, with 588 completed so far this month.

    “We are grateful for the support our community continues to show,” said Victoria Chittam Bennett, Assistant Director. “Every adoption opens a kennel for another pet in need, and the holidays are an especially meaningful time to welcome a new companion.”

    This season, adopters will also have the chance to participate in the Friends of Dallas Animal Services (FODAS) 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways, fully funded and supported through donations from generous community supporters. For more information about this initiative, visit friendsofdas.org and watch out for announcements on social media.

    Holiday staycations
    Residents who may not be ready to adopt can still support DAS pets by participating in Silent Night Holiday Staycations, a short-term foster opportunity that gives dogs a relaxing break from the shelter during the holiday period.

    Pickup dates are scheduled for December 20-21, with drop-off options on December 27-28 or January 3-4. Participants typically spend 1-3 hours at the shelter selecting a foster match, and contact with pets outside the home should be limited. Questions may be directed to DASFtA@dallas.gov.

    “Holiday Staycations allow our dogs to decompress and show their personalities in a home environment,” said Amanda Earl, Assistant Director. “The insight we receive from these foster stays is invaluable in helping pets find permanent homes.”

    DAS encourages the community to adopt, foster, volunteer, or share adoptable pets to help meet December’s lifesaving goals.
    “Together, we can bring home the holidays for the pets relying on us,” said Director Paul Ramon.

    For more information on adoptable pets, holiday programs, or ways to get involved, visit https://bedallas90.org/ or stop by the DAS Shelter at 1818 N. Westmoreland Rd.
