    My experience with Darc Fitness has been nothing short of terrible. It is, by far, the worst fitness center I have ever attended. Despite paying a hefty sum of 8000 for a 6-month membership, I received absolutely no assistance or support from the staff, especially if you are not enrolled in personal training. One of the most frustrating aspects of my time at Darc Fitness was the lack of availability of staff members for assistance. There was no one to address my concerns or answer my questions, even for just a few minutes. It felt like a deserted place, and it was incredibly frustrating to receive no guidance or support throughout my membership. Moreover, the trainers at Darc Fitness were consistently bothersome with their focus on personal training. It seemed as though they were solely interested in promoting their personal training services and were not concerned about the general well-being of the members. It felt like they were constantly pushing for personal training sessions, which became irritating and off-putting. Furthermore, I was misled by the false promises made by the management. Prior to joining, I was assured that I could attend any branch of Darc Fitness. However, after becoming a member, they suddenly changed their stance and informed me that I couldn't access their Infopark branch without paying an additional fee. This made me feel cheated and deceived by the establishment. In summary, I strongly advise against joining Darc Fitness. The lack of assistance, constant focus on personal training, and broken promises regarding branch access have left me feeling extremely dissatisfied with my experience. It is regrettable that I wasted my time and money on such a disappointing fitness center. I would recommend exploring other options that prioritize member support and provide honest and transparent services.

    I have been going to this gym for several months from its inception in August 2021. The gym was pretty good at the start of 2021. I am a regular gym-goer and have been a fitness enthusiast for the past 9 years. I'll list down my review as pros and cons: Pros: 1. The gym is big and spacious when compared to other gyms in the area. 2. It is open from 5 am to 11 pm everyday-the AC runs throughout as well. 3. The trainers are experienced and know their stuff. 4. There is a separate squat rack and deadlift area. 5. The weight plates and dumbbells are of pretty good quality. 6. The machines and crossover cables also function pretty well. 7. There are 2 motorized treadmills and one curved treadmill. 8. There is a separate dance floor area (a room, actually). This room also has battle ropes. 9. All in all, it has pretty good facilities. 10. The charges for membership keep changing, but are pretty decent for the services being provided. I got mine for 6k for 3 months. 11. There is a separate reception and there is always someone available. 12. There is a constant supply of drinking water (cold as well). 13. They do have a separate parking space. 14. The lighting is good and a cleaning staff is always available and keeps the equipment and floor clean. Cons: 1. I have very rarely seen the dumbbells being re-racked properly in its place (there are no weight markings on the rack as well) - even the trainers don't seem to care for it. 2. The trainers although are well behaved and experienced, are ignorant and won't help correct your mistakes if you don't opt for personal training (PT). So, if you're a beginner and trying to find your way into proper exercise techniques, I would advise you to either take a PT subscription (which would cost more) or ask someone you know personally to help out. 3. There are no kettlebells available. Upon enquiry, they said these equipment are on the way although I haven't seen them for a whole month. 4. The gym is often overcrowded in the evenings. So, overall a very good gym for the price. I hope this reviews throws some light. Update 13th May 2023: Despite repeated feedback and suggestions from my end for over 4 months, they still haven't provided Kettlebells. For those involved in pylometrics and weightlifting, it is an important piece of equipment.

    Your workout experience won't be great unless you opt for 'Personal Trainer' or 'PT,' especially if you are a beginner. So, for people who wish to join darc1 fitness (Edappally): - if you are beginners & can pay extra for PT, you can opt this gym. - you are experienced & can handle your workouts without any others help, you can opt this gym. - BUT, if you are a beginner & can't pay extra for PT, DON'T JOIN THIS GYM (personal opinion) WONT RECOMMEND IT!!!!

    I recently visited D5N's gym, and it offers an okay overall experience. While there's room for improvement with some equipment lacking, the positive side is that it wasn't overly crowded during my visit. I'd rate it a 3 out of 5, taking into account the mixed aspects of the facility.

    Please dont fall in their OFFER TRAP!!!🙏🙏🙏 I am from Kottayam.I came to know about Darc Fitness through Oh Kochi instagram page .I contacted them to join the gym as I was selected for a job in a company in Kochi. Since I had two months to join the job, I told them that I will pay the advance amount during joining. On telling this they told me there were some offers in the package which will expire withing two or three days. So I selected their three month offer and sent them Rs.5000. Unfortunately for me the date of joining has been extended by the company I am going to join and informed the same. I got a new job in another place out of kerala and since I was in a financial crisis I asked to refund the amount I sent them. Their reply was that there is no refund policy for them for the Rs.5000 and told that they will check with it and reply. Not only did they not reply but they only picked up the phone when I called them. So called and finally they asked me to send a mail but they didnt gave the mail id.Now even if I call to ask for mail id they don't pick up the phone and if I send a message there is no reply. I posted the above incident in Google few days before and soon after posting they called and gave the mail id and asked to delete this review. Even after sending the complaint mail their response was the same. I thought about reposting review so that this helps the common people before accepting their OFFER.

    The most Money Minded Gym Franchise in Kochi. Until you Join they will be very professional, Once you Join the Unprofessionalism starts. They will Guide you one day, They will force you to Join PT. Only if you have PT, They will give any Guidance. Every Trainer has their own PT target to convert, which is very Costly - They will lie whatever it takes. In a 10 hour Shift, the trainer will Train 20 people. I paid for PT, But My Trainer was always taking 3 clients every hour....Even though I paid for his hours in the 1000s. The Gym Membership itself is very Costly, For PT they will ask 600 to 1200 per hour. Then they will try to convert you into a Transformation package for 60,000 to 100,000rs I recommend nobody to Join here. There are Gym which provide Transformation for 1500rs per month. I wont recomment even my worst enemy to Join here.

    The best gym franchise in town with the most professional and able trainers. My Coach Athira had really altered my life to the best and and helped me as I began my weight loss journey. This is indeed the first time I got myself a personal trainer and it's the best decision ever. The constant reminders and monitoring of food intake had made us more aware of our health and gym workout had become something we really look forward to.

    One and only best cheating gym I ever seen in my life,my joining date was 2023 November 1st,and this same month I realised THIS IS A TRAP.first day of my this gym is the worst thing,when you are attending an uninvited event how you feel,that’s the feel I felt in there,I never seen a gym who only focusing on Personal Training,why a general member don’t have any value in their money that spent in there??? This is a complete worst gym,I never recommend this gym to anyone.who ever is going to join in this gym as a general member(Without PT)I’m telling you guys they will treat you like a beggar that begging for help,and the truth is you deposit your money for a period and none of them treat you as a customer then how you will continue it?? And the fun fact is if you had a injury or accident or any health issues after your joining and your doctor suggests You can’t do any Activities and you are planning for your refunds from this gym,Guys you won’t get your money back,Trust me they won’t. I’ve a Brain surgery and my Neurologist have recommended a surgery and you can’t do any workouts because it’s a brain surgery..and this guys won’t refund your money.so don’t be fool in this TRAP… It’s a. Big TRAP… Trust me because I’m a customer of them but they don’t feel that I’m a customer my 8000 rupees are there,I’m going legally with my doctor certificate

    I am going to this gym from past 2 months. This gym got really talented trainers who knows how can we reduce the weight. Pranav is very good and highly knowledgeable trainer, he help me to reduce 10 kg of my post delivery weight. I feel much lighter and strong. I really recommend Pranav trainer in that gym. Being a beginner who wants to correct my posture I have to take a personal trainer, 1st I thought it will be more expensive but after starting workout I understand it is worth to have a personal trainer.

  • 1/5 Kannan Pillai R. 1 year ago on Google
    I had terrible experience from here. I am not going there for workout since one month due to pathetic customer service. They talked to me in a very rude manner regarding the payment. I joined there with my colleague , he did workout from there for one month only. But the customer care executive asked me to pay the full amount of mine and my colleague , then only they will let me come for workout. One of my other friend in this gym(who came because of my recommendation) had done workout here only for 3 or 4 days and left. The customer service had promised to transfer the session of him to mine(amount already paid by him) but later they refused.

    They are more of a mere profit motive corporate than a fitness club. I went in with my wife for membership. The staffs were friendly and explained about current body composition and measures. However, they started pushing us to opt for Personal training which itself was overpriced compared to other gyms in Kochi. And when I said that I have been earlier to gyms and familiar with workouts, they again started trying to change our minds by sating that there won’t be proper look after if you opt for General training and we also won’t be responsible for any injuries. This is the situation for a person like me who was ready to join for a one year membership as a couple. Soon said tata to the team their and joined Club Active.
