This is a fantastic gym for anyone looking to change their bodies and change their outlook on fitness.While they are very much a group which trains pre-collegiate and pre-pro athletes - I know nothing about that. I’m an actress who does ballet, and I wanted to challenge myself - and I got that challenge.This is a team of coaches who are caring to each individual beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. As a person who has never touched a weight rack (is that even what it’s called?) I feel challenged, informed, supported and SAFE at all times, doing something that was completely new to me.I’ve learned so much from the coaches about the right way to work out, the SAFE way to work out, the best way to eat for working out - things that you can find on you YouTube, but it’s not anywhere near what you can learn from working out with these coaches.Todd, the owner, is incredible and is eager to work with each client to tailor their personal experience at D1.The coaches I’ve worked with - Evan, Ben and Marc, are all amazing at what they do. They’re all very serious about what they want to get done for each individual, but each bring their own humor to the workouts so they’re truly fun - even when you leave looking like you just spent an hour in a sauna.If you have kids working towards professional sports careers - this is the place to go. If you’re somebody looking to get into great shape, pardon me - INCREDIBLE shape - go here.You owe it yourself to go to D1. You will not regret it.

The past 6 weeks have been truly incredible! We embarked on a challenging 6-week journey, transforming from inactive sloth bears to active individuals eagerly anticipating the 6:30 PM class. The progress we've made is astonishing; after just one hour, we're motivated to do even more. Our eating habits have improved, sleep has become better, and we've experienced significant weight loss while gaining muscle and reducing body fat.

D1 Training Norwalk is phenomenal, a fitness experience I've had nowhere else. I signed up for the 6 week challenge on a whim. I was brand new to weight rooms, barbells, strength training, circuit workouts, team workouts in small groups. Hadn't walked on a green turf, since HS marching band days. An absolute beginner.After just 3 months, D1 is improving my overall health in countless, unanticipated ways. Beyond better weight & blood pressures stats. I've seen measurable, remarkable improvements in my strength, flexibility, mobility, endurance, focus, confidence, and mindset. I came in with back and knee problems, and D1 coaches offered ways to grow stronger while my injuries healed.Highly recommended above all, for the D1 Norwalk coaches. They are encouraging, attentive, dedicated; and they push you to achieve your best results. Yet, these coaches *always* watch and educate you to stay safe, and not injure yourself. Eager to teach better form, and to explain muscles we're targeting. Humane. Patient. Never ever shaming. Never mocking.I love their enthusiasm! D1 Norwalk coaches are quick to note if members are struggling. They will jump in to push with, and along side you. Quick to praise, fist bump, and say "good job".Also, D1 members come in at every fitness level, and all are respectful. I love that D1 workouts are designed to be fun & competitive workouts, satisfying both to the most advanced athletic members, and to us newcomers. I love how D1 workouts allow us to pause to root for each other.Notably, this is not a gym. No mirrors. No barrage of TV screens & entertainment overhead. At D1 Training Norwalk , I am 100% present, learning how to connect my mind, body, breathing and focus, to push myself. The D1 coaches are the mirrors, they reflect the 'feedback' I need. It's a space that invites us to test limits. Because D1 coaches are vigilant, we don't risk self-injury. It's been an education in how to handle equipment too.The benefits of D1 training I find are spilling over into everyday life. D1 Training Norwalk's workouts and consults with coaches are yielding for me better sleep and sharper concentration.The trusting and safe space created by the wonderful D1 coaches & community team spirit are why I'm certain the results I've gotten from D1 workouts will be lasting.The alchemy at D1 Training Norwalk is empowering, revolutionary, and real. Give this place a try!

I never enjoyed working out on my own. This is a different type of workout and I love it. It’s always changing so you keep progressing. I love the team mentality with individual guidance and support from the coaches.

Love this gym! This program has been so helpful to me in achieving my fitness goals. I have never been this strong before and I couldn't have done it without the support of the amazing staff here; they truly care about the success of their members and I actually look forward to the workouts every week. I recommend this to anyone trying to increase their strength or get back into a workout routine.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness the D1 team brings to their programming. Each workout is structured and with a purpose, and encourages you to get stronger while doing so in a safe manner, which unfortunately isn’t always the case at strength based gyms.While strength is the focus, there are many opportunities in each workout to increase cardio and endurance, which contributes to the well-rounded nature of the programming.The coaches are top notch and incredibly knowledgeable, allowing members at all stages of their fitness journey to feel confident and comfortable when entering the gym.The team environment is great and supportive, something you’ll appreciate if you’ve ever competed in a sport. I can’t speak highly enough of D1.

I’ve been going to D1 for about 2 months now and I love it. The classes are relatively small and there are a lot of times to choose from. Every week there are new people and the trainers are amazing about welcoming you in and getting you up to speed. The workouts change like every 3 weeks so you never get bored. I really enjoy the community and the coaches.

I love it here. The camaraderie is great, everyone is always pushing one another and the coaches are so energetic and welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym to anybody from beginners to pros.Coming off an injury and being down for 2 months was tough. Coming back to D1 was an amazing feeling. Everyone was so welcoming and the coaches were really attentive with post injury while providing alternate exercises to work the same muscles if I was unable to do one of the exercises due to pain level. I can’t wait to continue to see results from coming here!

Such a great environment and amazing, knowledgeable coaches! Everyone is super friendly and helpful and the equipment is always clean. If you have a goal in mind, they will make sure you reach it and continue to push you to improve. It doesn’t matter what level you are, there’s a class for everyone and they will encourage and motivate you along the way. The workouts are always fun and different. I love D1!
