I paid 41000 rupees for two people for six months membership. Within 24 hours I have informed d arc that we won’t be able to attend and then they refused to pay the money back. We haven’t availed any of their services nor attended even a session. They just want money from people and doesn’t have any ethics. Any service provider should completely refund their customer if they haven’t availed any of their services. We have filed a case in the consumer court against them. Please be careful when joining. They are money minded people with no basic values. I am sure that I am not the one who faced similar situation.

dARC1 FITNESS, It's one of the good fitness centres which functions in Mukkadans Buildings in Idachira nearby Infopark, Kakkanad. Neat and well-maintained fitness centre. All the trainers are being professionals and good at their work and attittudes especially Personnel Training section of Mr Manikandan and Mr Gokul. The ambience is good and all packages are affordable according to their machinery and facilities. They provide extra care for their customers. Excellent Zumba and group sections are also available here. This premise has a good parking facility.

I came to this gym to develop Calisthenics skills, but they told me that inorder to develop Calisthenics skills, I need to reduce my body weight.So I took their 3 month membership as well as personal training. I reduced my body weight during these 3 months as recommended. After that when I approached them to renew my membership and to take calisthenics personal training, then they told me that their calisthenics trainer is currently unavailable and will be available again at March of 2022. So I took their membership since I don't want to break the routine and I waited for their calisthenics trainer to be available again. Now I find that there is no calisthenics trainer in this gym and they are just showing false advertisement to lure the customer in and loot their money and now I find that they are asking different amount of money from different customer for the same service.On what basis I don't know. I find this highly unethical and fraudulent.

First Very bad experience . from the start trainer are trying to convince me personal training would be better. But to avail personal training you would have to pay 23000 for 3 months and for per month about 9000 . I said I'd continue with General Training. But General training= No training. It just means that you can use the gym facilities, thats it.. They just claim the gym is premium . Why should i pay to simply use the gym without anyone telling us how to do .. i had been going to gym before but i cant compare that gym with this one .

I was there for few months. I took membership & pt for weight loss.Personal training, i gave huge amount of money but its not that worthy..Trust me guys ,trainer doesn't have time to look you properly other than running between clients.Moreover, my trainer hasn't told me properly stretching & warmup which other trainers do to their clients.I was helpless that i lost my money .Pls, don't join this gym..even if you join never take personal training..Still if you are taking pt, pls do chck reviews..not all trainers are good..i know 2-3 of them personally, they have some sort of mentally to help the client reach goal with sincere efforts.Others, i think they simply talk with other trainers or will be running between clients making other client wait for long.I was not able to tolerate this and i too didn't want to make a fight.. So i am putting this here..This is written from my heart .Really disappointed with your service.

One of the bad gym looting infopark employees. Dont go to this gym. They will ask for huge money and dont take personal training. If you take personal training, trainers dont have time to train you they are behind "konjal ladies". Dont take trainings under sooraj he wont train you, and spending most time outside. 😉 they are not giving gym training they are looting you. And ladies be careful before you go to this gym.

They are running a scam business here. They just force you to take personal training and once we pay for it, then they don't care what you do. One of the worst experience ever. The trainers are just greedy for money, they just emotionaly blackmail you till you pay for the personal training. They just claim the gym is premium and demand for unreasonable amount as fees. And they have got the worst set of trainers in the town as trainers

Bad experience. I have a small pain in my knee. I informed it about at the time of joining. The very first day the trainer took me through an intense workout without considering my knee problem. The next day my leg was swollen and unable to walk. I saw the doctor and my minor tear which was supposed to be heal by being active now became a serious tear and I have to undergo the surgery. And my subscription money became a total waste. Don't go there if you are having any injuries or health problems. They claimed to be experts but they are not. Other than this, from the very beginning they try to convince you to opt a personal trainer for giving various reasons. If you are an individual who just need a place to workout youself this is not a place for you. They will totally ignore you if you don't take a personal trainer.

The moment I stepped in, I knew this is where I'm meant to be. Of all the gyms that I visited in Kochi, dArc1 has great ambience, top class equipments and awesome trainers. I am excited to be here as I start my fitness journey.

One of the best fitness centres in kochi. Polite and friendly staffs. Good quality equipments. Personal trainer ajmal is really good, has immense knowledge about workouts and will push you beyond your limits.

I had rated this gym 5/5 because of Good training and Excellent service from the staff. This seems to be the most profitable branch. Yet important equipments are out of order for months. Two cycling and two treadmills are out of order for almost a month. There is a rush in getting the other equipment hence making overall experience worse

It's one of the first premium gyms under Darc umbrella. Hence the machines have become old and the gym as well. However, it's not a roadblock for your fitness journey, but just doesn't feel premium anymore. Also the restrooms are congested with very limited space. Having said that, the trainers are good and will be able to train and meet your fitness goals. Maybe a renovation would help.

Have had been a member for quite sometime. Everything is good ....be it the trainers, be it the equipments, be it anything. However, I lately felt that they weren't paying much attention in the issues/maintenance of their very first gym (Infopark). Waited for few months. But issues weren't attended/sorted. Issues that can be sorted in days taking weeks/months didn't make sense. It is one of the best Gyms in Kochi. Just they need to look into this matter

One of the best Gym in Kochi with world class facilities with professional trainer's & staffs. Very well maintained equipments. Very professional ambience with cooperative trainers, much above my expectations and real value for the investment. The system they follow is excellent, based on the initial test conducted they will chart out a daily schedule of the workout. Very clean and hygiene. The trainers hand hold you to introduce to the different exercises. Highly recommended and wish them all the best .👏

You may join for 6 months, 1 year etc. by paying entire fees in advance. Even if you could go only 1 month due to relocation, they won't return your money back. People may go onsite or relocate to different city. Then they should return at least some money back. First of all they are charging huge fees which is higher than Metro cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad etc. They are Money sucking people. I lost my money. Stay away.

Best gym in Kochi. They have the best personal trainers, coaches and equipment's here. If you are looking for "the place" to start gym. THIS IS IT!! Trust me! Gym is never boring once you reach here.

Great gym with very friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities with lots of equipments that are well maintained. They have certified trainers who ensure that you get the form and technique right. Excellent place for beginners to start their fitness journey.

Early review: One of the best decisions made this year is to join dARC1. Good facilities and great trainers. It's been great to work with Ameer. Still early days but seeing the changes always brings great joy. Hoping to achieve my physical goals in the coming months.

I joined the Gym as per my doctor's advice to regain musle flexibility and strength after a frozen shoulder incurrence. Varun was my trainer who advised me exact routine to gain upper body strength and regain muscle flexibility. He is very strict and won't allow any foul... 😊 so after just 25 sessions I am seeing and feeling a big difference from the old me... 😁 Iam a senior citizen 🤠 and my work outs are planned for my age and body requirements. Great job Varun 👍...

Marketing team is excellent when they try to get the customers. But once we make the payment, after that there is no response. No updates and if there are any sessions or classes, I don't even knw how they communicate with the members as I haven't got any update from them till now.

Awesome place! Workout feels effortless here with the friendly staff and perfect ambience. Akash is a very dedicated and dependable trainer and very approachable character who pushes you to do your best!

My journey at dARC1 Gym with personal trainer Rahul has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a teenager, I sought to enhance my body and fitness levels, and Rahul's expertise has played a vital role in my transformation. The gym's exceptional facilities and inviting ambiance create a motivational atmosphere. Rahul's tailored workouts have been instrumental in improving my strength and overall fitness. With a focus on proper form and technique, he pushes me beyond my limits, helping me achieve remarkable results. I'm immensely grateful to Rahul and dARC1 Gym for their exceptional service, which has enabled me to become a healthier and fitter individual.

One of the best gyms in Kakkanad right now. Amazing facilities for workouts!

The best gym in Kakkanad with well maintained equipments, facilities. They have personal trainers and coaches. Trainers who really care and go beyond to help you to achieve your goals. I have worked with an excellent personal trainer. Highly recommended 💪

Definitely one of the finest gym in Kochi with well maintained equipments, highly qualified trainers and staff. The trainers and staff are always there to help you and make sure you reach your goals. I've been a member at the Kakkanad-Infopark dARC1fitness centre since September 2022 and I'm having a great experience. I would highly recommend Varun as a personal trainer. He is a highly qualified certified trainer, super professional and genuinely makes sure we reach our goals. He makes sure my form is correct to avoid injuries and pushes my limits which has helped me to see a great progress in my fitness journey. He also ensures we follow the right diet plan and stay on the right track. A great place to start your fitness journey. Good vibes only :)

Nice place, good work out! every trainers are good, motivated, enthousias me and great relationships with clients! The place to be to train well and get in shape!..I feel great and enjoy the compliments recieve from friends and family. I would tell anyone to starting to workout to use a personal trainer in Darc 1 as your spring board to a healthier life style💪💪💪

One of the finest fitness centres in Kochi. It has top notch equipments and best trainers. I've became an 'every day go to gym person' since I've joined there. I like the way all the staffs there put efforts to keep a friendly and great ambience. Personal training by coach Arun is really helping me to keep focused on my goals.

One of the best gyms in Kochi. Darc will never let you down, makes your fitness and body goals a much more enjoyable experience everyday. The Trainers are very well Qualified and trained. Kudos to y'all. ✨

Pros -In body machine to analyze progress. Couple of treadmills were on maintenance for more than a week. Would recommend this place for neophytes who can invest huge amount . Trainers would assist only if you avail PT otherwise would feel clueless on how to go about. Cons-Main agenda is marketing and money making that isn't really worth it.

One of the best Gym in Kochi. I have joined the Gym on November 2022 for the weight loss plan. To achieve our best potential, we all need some training and direction. I have succeeded in the transformation journey and I owe my success to my personal trainer Varun. The effort he puts and the encouragement he provides is beyond words to explain. Really thank him for being the inspiration. I had an incredible transformation of losing 19 Kg within the 45 sessions under Varun's guidance.

Very good gym with experienced trainers. I am having a very good experience there. They arrange personal trainers according to our scheduled time. They have very good facilities.

Please do not give any upfront payment. The customer care is worst. None responds and those who responds say they will come back. Who will hear us out? I don’t know. No contact and only one email I’d for communication. Hope someone will help me out. Behind my these guys for a month now.

At kakkanad Only 2 thread mills are available, too much of waiting all the time. Once equipments get damaged, will fix it only after weeks. Personal training charge is very high.

After a hard day's work, spending an hour in the gym is a joy. I truly appreciate Ms. Vidya the deputy branch manager at Infopark's branch, her confidence and services towards the business impress me more. I value the insights and guidance you provide. You are such an incredible problem solver. The very professional trainer Mr. Sujin at Palarivattom branch is an excellent branch manager comes fitness trainer. His effort for making me fit is awesome. In addition to fitness, he also knows and share nutrition diet plan for having good health. Thank you to the entire darc1fitness team 🙏

Well equipped gym with great personal trainers. Unlike many other gyms and trainers where they push you from the get go making your muscles sore every single day, the trainers here makes sure to take it slow initially until we get our postures right. I've finally started training my muscles that I didn't even realise existed. This wasn't the case with numerous trainers and gyms that I've worked out, both in Kochi and Bangalore. And big thanks to Sam. Undoubtedly the best one I've been to.

Enter dARC1 Fitness Center Kakkanad was a makeover for Me. I entered there with a set of my medical issues and queries. But the backup I got from the team was amazing. They gave me a headstrong trainer, Mr Varun. Under his guidance I was able to do most of the tough workouts including squats, strength training, planks etc were I beat the limits. With in 30 sessions I got a tremendous results. My health improved well. Even my family started noticing the changes. I am thankful to dARC1 team and especially my trainer Mr Varun. He never gave up on me. Even the well equipped and quality of dARC1 gives comfort.

My fitness journey started from dARC1 fitness which is always neat and well-maintained centre. The trainers and staff are very well qualified and trained. It's been great to work with Akshay. His expertise and personalised approach have pushed us beyond our limits and also helps us to see a great progress in our fitness journey.

I see the impossible. You see the possible and a strategy to get me there. I feel exhaustion. You say one more rep. Thank you for pushing me to achieve incredible results. Don’t let up on me, even if I beg you!😂

One of the best fitness centre in kerala. Well equipped center and traniers. Cool and calm atmosphere also. I recommend to everyone for their physical health.

DARC1 as a Company is a great place to work with. Even Though i started working with this company not long ago, I feel like i should have been here for a long time. The Machines here are top class, even though i worked out in different gyms.I can feel the difference in the quality of the machines and the difference it's making in my body. Proud to be a Darcian💪

Its a very good place to have workout lessons

Nice place to work out and good trainers

Amazing facility, top equipment and great environment. Good service with friendly staff and the gym is clean and comfortable 😊

I am satisfied with your service. My personal trainer (Ameer) is very friendly and he is very supportive and He motivates me when I'm lazy. Fitness centre is very much good than other. friendly atmosphere, gym is always neat and clean.

Trainers Bibin,aber, manjesh Ajith are really good, I like the gym ,vibe and machines The best gym in Cochin

If you are looking for a well maintained and customer friendly gym, then Darc1 it is. All the trainers and staffs are well mannered and customer friendly in nature. I am trained under Ameer, who is a friendly and a goal centric person. I recommend him for personal training.!

Nice and good maintained gym. Instructors and staffs are very friendly . Overall very good. One of the best in cochin

Joined since September, got better result. Most affordable gym in Ernakulam city. Mr. Manu is my personal trainer. He is very comfortable for me.

Ameer is a fantastic trainer , he supports me in achieving my fitness goals, his sessions are filled with fun and positivity, which drives me to work out even harder .

The best gym in kochi.. Full time professional support from certified trainers and best gym equipments.

One of the best gyms in Ernakulam. The facilities are luxurious and also the trainers are dedicated ones too, I can personally vouch for Ameer who is helping me to be physically fit.

After being inactive for many years. Started my fitness journey from dARC1. Going good so far. They have good set of equipments and trainers.

Neat place. Doing processes professionally. First they measure everything about the body and then gives workout accordingly. Good experience.

I registered here for an year and paid in advance just a week before the Covid Lockdown. Then after the lockdown, I contacted them around 10 times to let them know that I won't be joining back in another 6 months since I was at my native. I wanted them to freeze the account so I can join back when I'm back at Kochi. They always said, they will check and get back to me and they never did. Then after 6 months, when I contacted, they said I have to pay again and the one year advance I paid is not valid anymore. My friend also had a similar experience. This is cheating customers and not acceptable. I suggest everyone to find another fitness centre near you if you don't want lose money to these cheaters.

Its a review about their another facility at Palarivattam, Mamangalam It’s been a while since I started using this facility for my workout needs. Fortunately, it’s a well-established workout center in the city for sure! However, when you look into the management side of the facility, there is a lot of room for improvement. One thing I have clearly noticed is that your money spent on personal training is wasted if you are a MAN. Women, on the other hand, receive ample attention. Yes, you read it right! I have paid a premium fee for both the gym membership and personal training. However, the personal trainer simply instructs you to work out and then joins others to crack jokes. If that’s the case, we could easily find numerous YouTube videos or even online trainers at a much cheaper rate than this. So, if you plan to join this gym, don’t fall for the marketing gimmick of personal training. Otherwise, it’s a recommendable gym. I am posting this from an account without a proper name because they can find my trainer. I don’t want to jeopardize someone’s job, They might fire one or two trainers, or someone could lose their job. They may ask me to delete this review also, but I promise will do so on my own if I find that the mentioned issues are corrected from your side. Stay fit. Stay healthy!

My gym experience has been highly motivating and has helped me stay consistent with my fitness goals. The supportive atmosphere, variety of equipment, and knowledgeable trainers make each visit enjoyable.I've seen significant improvements in my strength and overall health since I started going to the gym. It just lyk a family❤️✨

This gym was the first gym that I joined back in September 2022 and since then I am having a great experience. It’s like I was meant to be there. I had a strong decision to reduce weight and stay healthy in which my trainers helped me in every way possible. My present trainer Ameer is really good and guides me in personal training and checks my diet too..!! They help u to reach your goals and are very friendly. Though the gym is premium I feel it’s worth it. The ambience and all facilities provided are very good. The car parking facilities are top notch. Great experience and looking forward to transform. ..!! Best gym in town and always striving for a better future.
