Founded in a windowless Dallas basement in 2016, Hunger in the Wild was born from a simple but powerful idea: to build an Olympic Weightlifting and strength training community that puts members first. Owner and Head Coach Kyle Dosterschill set out to create a results-driven gym that delivered what others couldn’t—expert coaching, a welcoming atmosphere, and a true path to progress for every individual.
From those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a premier Dallas fitness facility, but our core mission remains the same.
Founder Kyle Dosterschill, a career competitive athlete, grew frustrated seeing the poor techniques and stunted progress rampant in globo gyms and CrossFit boxes. He realized the problem was misplaced priorities—profits over people and intensity over intention.
This inspired his shift from competing to coaching. Kyle’s mission was clear: create a Dallas fitness community where expert coaching and individual progress were the unshakable priorities. We are here to correct bad habits, build a solid foundation of strength, and guide you on a fitness journey that delivers lasting results.
While our roots are in Olympic Weightlifting, we offer a variety of strength and conditioning programs designed for adults of all fitness levels. Our goal is to match you with a program that challenges you at your current level and helps you reach your unique athletic goals.
Our primary services include:
Building this dream has been a journey. Since that 800-square-foot basement, the Hunger in the Wild family has weathered a fire that destroyed our location and much of our equipment. But in true wolfpack fashion, our members stayed loyal, proving that together, there’s nothing we can’t overcome.
This is the foundation of our culture. We are dedicated to being the place where the best get better, supported by a tight-knit community that holds you accountable and celebrates your success. Every day is an opportunity to take a concrete step towards your goals.
We’ve helped thousands of individuals reach their fitness goals and build a healthier, stronger lifestyle. No matter your current fitness level, we offer a welcoming and encouraging community to help you succeed. Ready to join the Hunger in the Wild wolfpack?
At Hunger in the Wild, we prioritize coaching that fits the needs of the individual. We’re not your run-of-the-mill gym that herds you and a dozen others along with the same prescribed fitness program. Every individual has different fitness levels and athletic goals, that may require a different training and conditioning journey.
Our goal is to match you with programming that challenges you at your current fitness level, while providing a welcoming, encouraging atmosphere to reach your athletic goals. That’s why we aim to offer a variety of on-site classes in our Dallas, TX location with top-of-the-line coaching, as well as flexible, online virtual coaching.
