HOW TO TRAIN LIKE THE SOLE “SURVIVOR” WITHOUT LEAVING DFW

Season 51 of “Survivor” is underway, and we’re cheering on Fort Worth’s own castaway, ! Watching her tribe had us wondering how our crew would hold up, so we found spots around DFW to train like we’re headed to the island.

/ SOUTH DALLAS
Their upcoming fall foraging series teaches you to identify wild edible and medicinal plants, which would come in handy if you were ever stranded on the island.

/ NORTH FORT WORTH
This low-impact, high-intensity bungee workout builds the core strength and stamina you’d need to outlast everyone in an endurance challenge.

/ BACHMAN LAKE
Adult swim lessons and coached workouts welcome every level, so you’ll be ready if a challenge sends you swimming out for puzzle pieces.

/ STOCKYARDS
These escape rooms have your tribe cracking puzzles against the clock, just like racing the other tribe to the finish.

/ THE COLONY
Ropes courses, zip lines, underground tunnels and a climbable city wall make this ideal training for immunity and reward challenges alike!

/ MONTGOMERY PLAZA
Pick a team name, grab a costume and buzz in for games like Tic Tac Trivia. It’s great practice for keeping your cool when Jeff starts asking questions at Tribal Council.

/ DESIGN DISTRICT
Five glow-in-the-dark rooms with laser mazes and floor-is-lava jumping test everything from your balance to how well your tribe communicates.

/ BISHOP ARTS
So many challenges come down to the final puzzle, so stock up on puzzles and strategy games and start practicing at home.

/ MULTIPLE LOCATIONS
Their bouldering walls cover every skill level, so you can build the grip strength for challenges where the last one hanging on wins.

/ PANTHER ISLAND
Rent a kayak or paddleboard on the Trinity River and get comfortable on the water before a challenge has you paddling for your tribe.

PS: Want more survival skills? hosts state park events where you can learn even more survivor techniques.
