Read our story
Solus Fitness was established in December of 2009 as a gym in Sherman TX, starting in an 800 square foot shop with just a handful of friends and some lofty dreams that we could change the way that people thought about fitness. After seeing multiple physical transformations from our members through the CrossFit workouts and a Zone/Paleo style diet, we knew there was something special to this program.
Our passion for CrossFit grew even stronger as we noticed the mental and emotional effects it had on people. The workouts were hard, sometimes unbearable, but we were a team and we all battled it out together and bonded from it. Over time we could see the confidence, camaraderie and genuine care for our fellow athlete grow more and more each day.
In the beginning, we thought we were just selling fitness, but in reality we were developing relationships, building self confidence, overcoming insecurities, forging grittiness, learning empathy, and on top of all of the dramatic physical transformations that were in the works, the mental transformations were by far the most gratifying.
Our mission was simple, transform one life at a time. Every person that stepped foot into our gym, we made it our goal to give them the best possible service and training program that we could. It didn’t matter where you came from or what your background was, for that hour of that day, we were a family and we were there to support you. A family that strived to make this the BEST hour of your day! In 2011, we moved into our commercial location in town.
As we approach year 17 of our affiliation, our vision for the future remains the same. We are in constant pursuit of excellence in all that we do and we will always strive to improve our program the best we can. Our community of athletes at CrossFit Solus are second to none. They are some of the most caring and supportive group you will ever meet. We value every relationship we get to have with all our athletes and thank God to have them in our lives.
Solus opens in December in an 800 square foot shop, coaching a handful of friends who were willing to try something new.
The gym moves into its commercial location in Sherman, with room for full classes, real equipment, and a lot more people.
CrossFit, Pilates, Fitness Over 50, a beginner course, Kids CrossFit, personal training, and nutrition coaching.
Members who have trained here for over a decade, and members who walked in last week. Both matter the same amount.
Anyone who has been part of CrossFit Solus for more than a few months will tell you there is something different about it, and it is not the equipment. It is intentional coaching, real relationships, and a room that genuinely cares whether you showed up. For a lot of our members this has become their third place, somewhere outside of work and home where they feel supported, challenged, and actually known.
The Coaching
A certified coach runs every single class on the board, teaches the movements, and scales the workout to the person in front of them. Nobody gets handed a whiteboard and left to guess, and nobody gets thrown into something their body is not ready for yet.
The Room
We all look different and we all started somewhere different. Inside these walls that stops mattering. Wins get celebrated together, hard days get carried together, and the person next to you is the reason you come back on the mornings you would rather not.

“I started CrossFit Solus back when Dustin and Kaylee had the box at their house. 2011 maybe, and found my new home. Then life happens and I was back again and off. Then 2024 I came back and ready for new adventures. Little did I know I would fall in love again. The people here are encouraging and supportive.”

“For over 10yrs, off and on, Solus has felt like a home away from home. The environment (people) is always so kind, welcoming and encouraging. Most days I’m forcing myself to walk in the door, but I’m always glad I came. Dustin and Kaylee are so genuine and just all around good people.”

★★★★★
“The workouts are challenging but scalable for all levels, and the atmosphere pushes you to do your best every time. I’ve been a part of this gym for 14 years and the friendships I’ve developed are irreplaceable. Events inside and outside the gym for continued connection are a bonus.”

Since December 2009. Dustin and Kaylee started the gym in an 800 square foot shop with a handful of friends, moved into the commercial location in Sherman in 2011, and are now working through year seventeen as a CrossFit affiliate. Some of the members who trained here in the first couple of years are still in class today.
CrossFit Solus is at 2001 Skyline Dr, Suite D400 in west Sherman, Texas 75092. It is an easy drive from Denison, Pottsboro, Whitesboro, Howe, Van Alstyne, Tom Bean, and the rest of Grayson County. You can call or text the gym at (903) 564-1118.
No. Most people who walk in have never done it, and plenty have not trained at all in years. A coach teaches you the movements and scales every workout to what your body can do today. If you would rather start with a full on-ramp, the 8-Week Beginner Course starts with one-on-one sessions before you join a class.
Sixty minutes, start to finish. A coach-led warm-up, strength or skill work, the workout of the day, and a cool down. Everyone in the room does the same workout scaled to their own level, so a first-timer and a ten-year member train side by side. The live schedule shows every class time.
Kids from age five, teenagers, people in their twenties, parents fitting a workout between school runs, and members well into their sixties and beyond. We coach people coming back from injuries, people who have never lifted anything, and people who have trained for years. Everyone in the room is an athlete working on their own thing.
Group CrossFit classes, Pilates, Fitness Over 50, an 8-Week Beginner Course, Kids CrossFit, personal training, and nutrition coaching. Membership includes both CrossFit and Pilates classes.
Five classes for $55. No contract, no sign-up fee, and no sales pitch waiting on the other side. Come to five classes, meet the coaches, see whether the room feels right, and decide after that. You can also see membership pricing before you come in.
Yes. Travelling athletes drop in regularly and are welcome in any class on the board. Book a drop-in or message the gym with the day you are in town and a coach will get you on the list.
That has been the whole mission since 2009, and it has not changed. Come to five classes, meet the room, and find out what people mean when they call this their third place.
