I was a little afraid, as I am neither young nor in good shape. Fears unfounded. I find the staff and most of the other clients to be polite and supportive. The classes are the best.

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.

Though the space is small, you've got up-to-date equipment, personalized tv on the ellipticals and…read moretreadmills as well as space to lift weights with lots of mirrors.

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!

They come with a fresh spin (haha) on cycling and have big shoes to fill. They deliver! Leon and Kacey's class opening day had so much energy and great music.

I was hoping they'd do something better with the bathrooms, which are cramped during busy classes, but I definitely appreciate the more fans and space in the studio itself.
