Velocity Fitness

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 2 years and do a mixture of Conditioning and Small Group PT classes. The facility is really well equipped with an outdoor space for rain-free days. Coaches Darran and Dane are totally committed to the training needs of the members, and expertly manage the classes so that all abilities get the full benefit. I have been consistently pushed to improve my performance since joining. As well as the facilities and the team, the community is a big part of Veloclity. I was new to the area when I joined and immediately welcomed. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging, and there are regular socials to get to know each other better. The best gym I have ever been a member of!

Fantastic experience: I had always wanted to join Velocity after following them on social media, but I was worried I wasn’t fit enough. I took the plunge over two years ago, and it was the best decision. The community at Velocity is something I’ve never experienced at any other fitness facility. Everyone is so friendly and motivating; I felt welcomed from the moment I joined. Special shoutout to the stars of the show, Dane and Darran, who are both fantastic at what they do. They are always on hand to push you to reach your goals in both exercise and nutrition. Despite having had injuries over the last year, I haven’t had to miss out as they have ensured that exercises have been adapted to suit my injury and mobility. All in all, 5 stars! If you’re thinking about joining, do it!

Fantastic experience: After 3 enquiries in the last couple of years, I finally plucked up the courage to sign up for a 30-day trail Velocity had on offer. Darran asked what my aims were on our first consultation, and I started my first session the following week along with a daily calorie allowance. The sessions are hard and never get easier as both Darran and Dane know when to push you to the next level or work with higher weights to achieve your goals. Having now completed the 30-day trial, I feel more energetic, I'm sleeping well, my food intake and choices are much better than they were, and I have lost 3kgs in weight! I would highly recommend anyone who's thinking about joining to give it a go. Everyone is super friendly, and you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I am 10 months into my programme with Velocity. I joined to add strength training to my running to make me a stronger better runner as I like endurance running. I have worked with Dane and Darren to come up with a weights and nutrition plan that has made me stronger, feel better and improve my times from last year on recent running races. I like the small group private weights training. You are closely supervised to ensure you lift safely whilst reaching your full potential. The Velocity app assists in laying out each session in advance, recording all your lifts so you know where you are constantly on your journey. I have learned from the coaches you earn the right to lift heavy by firstly going lighter and mastering technique before working to honest well executed personal bests when the time is right. A review sit down with Darren teased out although I was both running and lifting a lot weekly I was not getting the best results due to poor nutrition. Darren increased my calorie intake and gave advice on protein levels alongside my training. Within 3 weeks my muscle mass went up, my body fat percentage gone down and now my overall weight is reducing without losing muscle mass (a problem for runners as running reduces muscle mass and you need to counter this with strength training). I feel alot healthier and have far more energy. Trust the process and it will give results! A brilliant gym, excellent facilities, state of the art digital support from booking sessions to speaking to coaches. Coaches are knowledgable, approachable and honest with their feedback and advice. InBody machine available to all members to give weekly feedback and accountability on progress. Thankyou coaches. Martin. Aged 59, size 12 shoes. Favourite colour blue ⛰️️

Negative experience: Didn’t even get to use. I’m travelling through the town. Wanted a solid gym just to train for one night. Willing to pay a guest fee. Nope. Could not accommodate. No reason why. Unhelpful. Would not recommend.

Fantastic experience: The gains that I have made after training only 1 month with Velocity have been spectacular. The professional coaching and programs that Dane and Darren put together are tough but extremely rewarding. The diet plan that I was given at the start has been a complete game changer and has shown how important diet is alongside training. It’s a great community to become part of and I’m looking forward to the first party! This is definitely something I will be doing long term and I can highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely superb, started going as wanted to put on muscle. Nutrition and training guidance was brilliant as had never been in that environment before. Always welcomed by Dane and Darran but also all of the members there, made many new friends and have physically and mentally benefited from the results.

Fantastic experience: I have been participating in Small Group PT and conditioning sessions at Velocity Fitness for over three years now. I cannot speak highly enough of Dane and Darran for their expertise in both gym and nutrition. I can honestly say they have both turned my life around for the better, improving not only my fitness and physique but also my mental well-being. Even after all this time, I still get out of bed at 5:30 AM, excited to dive into a session, whether it’s a rainy January or a sunny July. Don’t be afraid to join; it will be the best decision you make. We have great fun alongside the serious work. I’m probably the class clown

Fantastic experience: It was great getting back into my health and fitness again after having 5 - 6 years out of keeping fit. I tried doing it myself again at home with weights but did have the same discipline, commitment and consistency with training as when I was younger. Going into a gym space was not my natural movement. So it did bring up a bit of Fear. Not knowing anyone and would I last a full session of training. But Dane and Darren made me feel at easy straight away. Which was great. before I know it I was being shown and guided how to lift weights with technique Slow my movements down and breathing at the right time. To help with my lifts. The hour was up before I know it. I felt amazing and had the best nights sleep that evening. I just knew I was going to enjoy it there. I am just over 1 and bit years of training there and still enjoying it. The boys have just mixed it up in the gym new boot camp and pt sessions Which as been a game charger. I have meet some lovely people there . A real good Community and the social parties … well you don’t want to miss them. The boys know what they are doing there Money well spent on my health. Cheers Dane and Darren P.S. as anyone ever seen them training there

Fantastic experience: I am absolutely thrilled to leave this review for my amazing gym coaches at Velocity Fitness. The expertise and dedication they bring to every session has profoundly impacted my fitness journey. Dane and Darran have gone above and beyond to ensure I achieve my goals. Their personalised approach and attention to detail has been truly inspiring. They constantly challenge me to push my limits while prioritising my safety and well being. They tailor workouts to fit each individual’s needs through correcting form, offering nutritional advice and providing words of encouragement. I have seen incredible progress since I started training with them, not only in my physical strength but also in my confidence and overall outlook on life.

Fantastic experience: perfect environment to train in, excellent support and a welcoming and motivating atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with my experience at this gym! From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel welcome. Dane and Darren (the trainers) are fantastic – motivating, professional, and always available to offer guidance. I’ve seen great progress since joining, and the community atmosphere keeps me coming back. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals in a supportive and encouraging environment! I am 34 years old, had 3 children and am overweight so if I can do it so can you!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant training facilities and a real in-depth knowledge of health and nutrition from both Dane and Darran

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility and coaches!

Fantastic experience: I first started using Velocity Fitness after using Dane for my rehabilitation after knee surgery. After a successful rehab , I continued to use the bootcamp session at velocity fitness to prepare for another season of rugby. The sessions had great relevance to rugby for me with short , intense blocks of fitness , whilst also getting up and down off the floor with burpees, and rugby specific exercises like the sled push and pulls. It was the fittest I’ve been going into a season, and no coincidence that it was one of few season I remained injury free. I then used Velocity Fitness again for more rehab from an Achilles Tendon rupture. With the surgeon explaining that a 12 month lay off would be a great outcome, and the possibility of permanently walking with a limp, I returned to play sport a week shy of 6 months, and no permanent limp. I’d highly recommend all the service on offer at Velocity fitness. It’s a fun environment that caters for all ages and abilities. I can’t thank Dane and Darran enough for all the help , support and advice over the years.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. A great community to be part of, people from all abilities and ages helping each other and being supportive. A safe place and a place to go to feel better both mentally and physically. A wonderful social environment too. Always come away smiling- even when the workouts are tough! The team gets everybody to the finish line no matter what their abilities. Nobody should feel they wouldn’t fit in or be afraid of joining this gym, a very welcoming community!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. D+D are great personal trainers.
