The Training Gyms

Fantastic experience: been going for over a year now - they push me and it has become a good habit that is hard to break. Highly recommend it

Fantastic experience: I am delighted with the one to one support I am getting to strengthen my body and get me fitter

Fantastic experience: Kerrie and Anna are great trainers! Push you hard and keep the motivation going! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great people - Great place It's often hard to find a good fit for a gym, as we're all so different and many are smelly meathead grunt shops. Not at DVCC though. The trainers are top-drawer, know thier subject inside out and push one just far enough that you keep winning. This is important when there's such a diverse client base and the individual attention is much appreciated especially as one gets older/weaker/more busted up! In the interest of balance the parking is not always easy and the name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. However, the above more than makes up for those minor issues and their booking app is a delight to use once mastered. I highly recommend this outoftheway 'retreat gym' especially to those who prefer people to machines. Well done team JAB 7Ks fat-loss coach (now rehabilitated - tnx guys)

Fantastic experience: This is the 4th week of my trial there and I absolutely love it there. All the staff and the other members I’ve met are just so friendly. It’s great for someone like me who had not been into a gym for about 30 years and had no confidence in going on my own. Equally if you’re an experienced gym goer the constant training and support pushes you to do more than you probably would on your own. Love it there A*

Fantastic experience: I was always last to be picked in PE at school and I did anything to get out of it. Towards the end of the pandemic I decided I had to get fitter to keep up with my children, and lower the risks of certain diseases and injuries as I get older, which is incredibly important to me as a single parent. I also wanted to lose a little weight. I joined the DVCC taking the small group classes, which meant I had a considerable amount of guidance from the trainer. Unlike at larger gyms, the DVCC trainers quickly get to know your abilities and any injuries and will accommodate you in every class, offering alternatives where needed. This was really important to me as I had no confidence and no experience, and it meant I learned to do exercises correctly without injuring myself. I lost the weight and was amazed by the other benefits, I was so much stronger and fitter and my muscles had actually become more defined!  I have now been a member for almost three years and take the teams and boxing sessions, which are sociable and supportive, with a real mix of ages and abilities. I am getting stronger and more toned all the time. If you had told me when I was a child or even a few years ago that I would develop a love for exercise I wouldn't have believed you!

Fantastic experience: If you are on the fence about trying to get fit in later years, all I can say is talk to DVCC: they are the experts! Staffed with trainers who really understand the ageing body and its quirks, creaks, pains and groans; they are superbly supportive as they help you to achieve your own fitness goals. No judgement, no hidden agenda; just inspiration, encouragement and pride in watching you progress at your own pace. I never thought that I'd look forward to working out, but I truly do! The hardest step is the first one through the door, but the friendly and supportive atmosphere will keep you coming back; and working out in a group is great fun too. Ask about a taster course and give it a go - you have nothing to lose and you might surprise yourself!

Fantastic experience: Great way to train if you’re the north side of 40 and fitness hasn’t always been the top of your list. The trainers are motivating but empathetic, you’ll never be “shamed” into do more than you’re capable! A gentle word of encouragement will make you do that extra ten seconds or try the next heaviest weight!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed all the classes over the last three weeks of my trial period very professional inspiring friendly knowledhable trainers. Very clean and energetic environment that has everything to engage body mind and spirit

Fantastic experience: Fabulous trainers , friendly gym buddies and great work outs even at 6am at the St Albans DDCC gym

Fantastic experience: Really good atmosphere. Great support and coaching from the trainer's. No need to feel like you have to be super fit or have a gym body. I highly recommend giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: Gr8 trainers

Fantastic experience: It's the work out place for the over 40's. Different groups and time slots throughout the day. The exercises are varied and there's a one on one trainer, and that's essential. The trainers are very good, in fact, wonderful. There are deals to be had for your particular pocket. Look them up on social media or give them a call. UPDATE: We've now been going for 4 weeks and our fitness has improved greatly. It can be a little tough but it's certainly a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: I Can’t Recommend DVCC St Albans Enough It’s Fantastic. The Trainers Are Genuine Down To Earth Individuals Who Will Help You In Every Way Possible Can’t Wait To Progress With Them In The Future

Fantastic experience: DVCC are very professional and listen to what your needs are. Staff are friendly, helpful and are genuinely want to support and help you. There's no judgement, just dedicated staff to get you to where you want to be.

Fantastic experience: The great thing is being able to fit the program around my schedule, which means that I can stick with it. The support is excellent and being able to train with as group of like minded but different people at different stages is a terrific motivator and means I am comfortable going at my own pace.

Fantastic experience: Life changing in a positive way! I've been with the DVCC Personal Training Centre for over a month now and it has made a huge difference to my physical shape and well-being already, which, in turn, has had a positive impact on my confidence. The team are all supportive beyond measure and they give me lots of extra little tips that just make my workout so much better. Thank you Jack, Sam, Henry, Brett and Rachel. You brighten my workouts so much and I look forward to working out with you all. Thank you for making it fun, and making it a personal experience. I recommend anyone reading this review should try it! You can be the person who goes to the gym and gets into a good shape. There are people of all shapes and sizes and fitness levels who attend and it really is something for every body.

Positive experience: Great instructors, great challenging workouts pushing me to my limits.Price can put people off though.

Fantastic experience: Having completed a trial 30 days with the DVCC I couldn’t possibly not continue! What great training! The workouts are tough but individualised and the team look after you and motivate you. I feel utterly energised for hours after each training. And I’m seeing results even after only 8 hours!! Great team.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic and energetic team with an exceptional personal touch who offer a very flexible way of training to fit in with your lifestyle. The PTs are great offering well thought out training programs while properly pushing you to achieve, like they should! For those wanting to invest there time and money for focused traning I would highly recommend these motivational guys.

Fantastic experience: I've never felt so motivated to train and the sessions leave me energised and feeling great. We work hard but it's fun and there's a real team spirit. I've made some good friends too. This is how training should be!

Fantastic experience: After a reconstruction of the medias maximus, I was unable to undertake strenuous exercise. Once my physio gave me the all clear to do moderated and restricted exercise, I contacted the DVCC to say I was ready to come back to the gym. I also told them I would need a trainer who would understand my limitations, but also assist in my rehabilitation and return to exercise. I knew that if I trained on my own I would risk further injury so I needed to have appropriate training planned and a person to monitor me. It is hard work, but you will have fun whilst training and make good friends.

Fantastic experience: Coming to DVCC is part of my everyday routine. The days when I don’t train, I miss the friendly, welcoming atmosphere when I walk through the door. The trainers are friendly and take the time to get to know you. They know how to inspire and motivate you - it’s great! The clients are all so friendly and supportive of each other. Everyone is there for the same reason - to train and get results, so we help motivate each other and of course have fun and socialise along the way! Anne Goldsmith

Fantastic experience: If you make the commitment, these guys will get you to your goals. The great thing about this gym is the personal aspect. There is always a trainer with you, (either 1-2-1 or in small groups) to motivate and make sure you exercise to the best of your ability and they will guide you so you don't do yourself an injury. Friendly and encouraging.
