Local sisters take wrestling to next level

Deep Ellum is now home to the first-ever Slam Club, an elevated fitness studio by day and elite wrestling club by night designed to reshape the 15,000-year-old sport and redefine what it means to train, recover and connect. Co-founded by Dallas-born sisters Alexandria Liles and Taylor Darnell-Sibal, Slam Club merges high-energy, wrestling-inspired fitness and USA Club Card-certified elite wrestling programs in one studio, creating a modern, inclusive space where anyone — from fitness enthusiasts, beginners and families to aspiring champions — can access the world’s first sport. It is the first fitness studio in the nation to offer both general, wrestling-inspired workouts for all fitness levels and a certified elite wrestling program serving youth through advanced competitors. Slam Club is located at 2708 Main St. in Dallas. For more information, visit slam-club.com. — Christine Rogers
