D1 Training Norwalk - Norwalk, Connecticut

Best gym ever! The staff are super nice and very professional! The workouts are tough but fun! Joining D1 taught me how to eat healthier and how to gain more muscle/strength. If you’re looking for a gym to try out this one is IT!
I’d like to highlight the awesome coach I’ve been training with, Antjuan! He’s an incredibly knowledgeable trainer and is super supportive!

D1 Fitness offers a fantastic environment for anyone ranging from “I haven’t worked out in years” to even the most serious athlete looking to get ready for a grueling season. If you have any type of fitness goals, they’ll help you reach them.

Josh, Ben, and Evan lead exceptional classes that keep everyone engaged and motivated. They are always present to provide guidance and make necessary corrections, ensuring that everyone gets the most out of their workout. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience. You really finish up a class feeling like a million dollars.

Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! Ever since moving to CT around two years ago, I’ve been looking for a new gym to call home. I saw an add on Instagram and sent in my phone number to get more information. Kathleen called me within a few hours and spent the time to learn what I was looking for and answer all the questions I had. I joined before they were even open because I knew it would be perfect for me. I’ve been coming to classes since the beginning. The facility is brand new and beautiful. All the coaches focus on correct movements and keeping you safe while making you strong. Aiden corrected my squats within a minute and Luke saw a limitation with my bench press for which he scheduled a private session to figure out what was going on (and he did!). There’s a big sense of team work and everyone leaves tired but with a smile on their faces.

A gym like D1 is what I needed after a 1.5 years hiatus (thanks COVID). The facility is super clean. The coaches are knowledgeable and always push you to work harder. The best part is the community, they keep you motivated and energetic. Highly recommend D1 to anyone looking for a good workout in the area!

Weird experience…
Walked in to see a guy sitting doing nothing, apparently waiting for his 9am class at 8:24 . I tried to engage with light conversation and his body language along with personality was just like why are you even talking to me?.. I’m assuming this place isn’t cheap it’s probably just hard to find good help. Wasted a dollar for parking time to get there and lost all excitement about the place that’s right around the corner from where I live.

In response: Not at this time. I’m looking for a higher level team. Not just a facility. I’ll be passing by every day. Possibly 6-8 months the bold bright Signage will bring me in again. I’m a sucker for marketing. Take my review as constructive criticism not a personal attack.

Update 2022: I’ve been coming for a few months now and it blows my mind how consistently good this place is! Coaches are always attentive, they push and encourage you. No matter your level of fitness it’s guaranteed you’ll get a great workout in.
D1 Norwalk has cultivated such a great team environment. All of the members are gems. We all cheer each other on even when we feel like dying, especially during testing week.

Absolutely love this place! I always get a great workout. Love the coaches, the facility and the ambiance!

I joined D1 because I was having trouble keeping myself accountable and putting the effort into work outs at my home gym. I wasn't seeing the results I wanted doing things on my own. I had done personal training in the past and felt that was the best way for me to achieve my fitness goals. When I signed up at D1 they had me come in for a fitness assessment/challenge. When I saw the word "challenge" I was freaked out, but it was really just time to discuss my goals and for them to assess where I was at. They paired me with Josh and I was shocked by his ability to assess things about my flexibility that I didn't even know about myself. He even asked if I had a previous groin injury, which I had totally forgotten about. All from one hour of me moving around doing various exercises. I have been training with Josh twice a week for the past 6 weeks and have seen positive changes in my strength and my mentality about going to the gym and eating healthy. He always checks in to see what I've been eating, without being overbearing and having me log my meals (that is an option if you're into that). I feel challenged at each session and while my workouts are taken very seriously, I have fun and laugh every time I am there. In the past I have found it very intimidating to go to gyms where people are that much more fit or stronger than me, but the vibe at D1 is so friendly that you don't even think about that after being there for a few minutes. I have recently found myself saying "I wish I could go to the gym every day" which is something I have never said before in my life. If you are looking to make a change - no matter how big or small - and want some help, I highly recommend the team at D1 Norwalk.

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.
