The space itself is very inclusive and they take anti-discrimination seriously. Pre-Covid they weren't the most attentive to cleanliness and sometimes ran out of cleaner and paper towels in the gym but that changed during Covid and they are extremely safe and strict on that and mask wearing. Gendered locker rooms, and nice showers with expensive amenities (shampoo/soaps/air fresheners). They also have a refrigerator and a common working space which was a bit utilitarian (read: the seats are uncomfortable), but hey, it existed. Plenty of parking in front and behind the building (closer to Bear's Smokehouse, even though it's a bit of a walk). Staff is friendly, but you may find that many of the people mentioned in these reviews are no longer at DAC. I would come during off peak hours and would be able to mess with the rack (two) or treadmills if I was into that. They have also have two peloton bikes that use the LOOK Delta clips so if you have SPDs, sorry. They also have a TRX machine, but I think you need a trainer with that one. I didn't love it enough to renew my membership because the fitness center is a bit small and completely got mobbed during peak hours pre COVID, but I felt like it offered a better value than similar fitness center style clubs in the area.

This gym includes a huge variety of workout machines and equipment and even has a separate lady's fitness room which is one of the main reasons why I go. Not only does this gym have the work out areas, it also includes 3 stand up and 1 lay down tanning beds for an all year long tan. Another great reason I can live here is they have food! Body building food that is! Lol..Set up with a protein bar, there's options for shakes, bars and drinks galore. Last but not least, after I lift my weights, I like to relax my muscles before I head home and how I do that is with the sauna in the women's locker room. The heat allows me to sweat out all my toxins and its my favorite way to end a workout. The gym also has showers, bathrooms, lockers, body scales and magazines just to add in the little extras to what makes this gym complete.

I have taken classes with Christa and Karin, who train Tuff Girls, and MIke, who trains men and women in boot camp, and they are all AMAZING. My husband takes Mike's classes regularly and loves them, too. At Bodyology, you work hard toward your best body and change your life with trainers that actually care about you. Seriously, it's not too good to be true. This is more than just a "gym" or "fitness studio," it is a true community of people who want to be their best, and motivate each other every step of the way. They have cutting edge equipment in there and are always learning more to give their clients the newest and best workouts to get fit safely and efficiently. All three trainers are so empowering; I feel like I can do anything after conquering the workouts! High impact interval training, Tabata, TRX, heavy weight lifting...all in an environment that focuses on good form FIRST and then working your butt off. Highly, highly recommend.

How can such a wonderful and popular business have only 1 Yelp review?!…read more This gym offers phenomenal workouts, both memberships and drop-in pricing, a welcoming community of normal people of varied ages who work hard--not hardbody meatheads (though some hard bodies--and yours could be one of them if you keep it up). They sometimes organize social events, and group cleansing diets, and Christa's weekly email is great for keeping motivated. The Tabata workouts are varied enough that you'll never get bored, and you'll see your strength improving faster than you would have expected. Lots of positive energy here. Most workouts are women only, but they have coed workouts every day too. Both are great.

The crew at Orangetheory preemptively set up our heart rate monitors and OTF profiles so we were able to go as soon as we showed up to class.

Really amazing experience & we look forward to coming for another class soon. Thank you so much John & the team at OTF!

OTF New Haven is a great spot to come to, especially if visiting CT and the Yale / New Haven area!…read more This gym does have the "newer" treads that go up to 15 mph, and is one of the few OTF gyms in the area that do. Fore-informed is fore-armed, as they say! Great friendly staff and coaches aren't too bad here. I like the studio layout, it's open and inviting and different from what I'm used to. Parking is a bit of pickle, but if you come here on weekends, there's free street parking outside. I came here for the day of the 12-minute tread benchmark challenge! Got a PR and definitely the ability to push the treads past 12 mph was a real game changer! Overall great spot in New Haven, if you want recommendations for places to eat or visit around the area, check out my other reviews. Yale University campus is also great place to stop by!
