It's been few days since I started visiting the gym. I have never seen so lethargic ppl in a gym, trainers are ok but I didn't get the vibe that I see in other gyms. If you pay for a PT which is more than membership fee obviously, may be
you will get some attention and for those who cannot afford that don't even bother going to this gym. Its the same exercise that they are repeating and nothing new,overall everyone is in low spirits and I hope the management take the feedback seriously.

I've had a great experience overall at this gym. Initially, things didn't start well as I had a bad experience with the first personal trainer, Amal. His arrogant behavior and attitude made it really difficult for me to continue, and I had to discontinue training.
However, things took a complete turn when I spoke to the manager, Rahul (Power). He was incredibly supportive and understanding, and promptly assigned me a new trainer -- Anzal.
I just completed 36 PT sessions with Anzal, and I'm truly grateful to him. His guidance, motivation, and training have transformed me. I now feel confident looking at my progress, and it wouldn't have been possible without him. Thank you Anzal and Rahul!
I wouldn't recommend trainer Amal based on my personal experience, but I highly recommend this gym and the team for anyone serious about their fitness journey.

We had a very bad experience with this gym. Before paying cash to this gym, always think twice. They pressure you to pay the money as quickly as possible and seem overly focused on collecting cash.
Once you visit the gym to join, they will immediately ask you to pay the full amount. Only after that do they discuss the sessions. If you feel dissatisfied with your purchase, they do not offer refunds. This is extremely unprofessional.
The trainer I dealt with was very insulting. He compared me to an arthritis patient who could do push-ups correctly, implying that I couldn't do anything. It was extremely humiliating. He also criticized me for wasting money at my previous gym. If you mention that you have prior gym experience, they will target you with more comments and unnecessary pressure.
We paid 16,000 here, and it was a complete waste of money. But it's okay; I curse this experience. When someone cheats others for money, they will lose double or triple of what they gain. Let them enjoy it while they can.

I have seen multiple reviews about this gym and let me say pretty much all of them are biased because of high expectations and negligence from the management.
First of all if your someone who knows how to train and knows how to workout without the help from trainers, then go ahead this gym has got pretty decent equipments and the ambience you would be looking for.
But if your a complete beginner and your planning to start your training by joining the gym in the hopes that the trainers would help you, then your absolutely mistaken. Almost all of the trainers I've seen are busy training their clients who have paid extra fees for their personal training. You'd be lucky if someone actually helped you with your training randomly. Which is very surprising because I've worked out in a couple of gyms and all of them provided assistance in working out from the trainers here and there except for this gym. Maybe something the management would like to consider changing.
So yeah if your a beginner I'd suggest you also opt for the personal training or if that doesn't fit your budget please choose elsewhere
Hope this helps

I'm appalled by the discriminatory and utterly unprofessional practices of this gym. This so-called "corporate gym" as per the sales man
The payment plans are a blatant insult, with prices fluctuating based on superficial criteria. It's as if they're charging a premium for being conventionally attractive or fitting a certain mold. This is not only unethical but also deeply damaging to self-esteem.
To add insult to injury, the service is abysmal.
I strongly advise anyone considering joining this gym to reconsider.
There are countless other fitness centres in the area that offer far superior service, equipment, and a welcoming environment. Don't waste your time or money on this discriminatory and poorly run establishment.

Only consider joining DARC if you're planning to sign up for personal training, which starts at 8k per month. While the staff may seem welcoming during the sign-up process, their attention quickly shifts once you decide not to opt for personal training. If you're not paying for this premium service, you might find yourself essentially invisible to the trainers.
The gym's trainers each juggling multiple clients at a time. If you're hoping to receive any kind of guidance or support without paying for personal training, you may be disappointed. The trainers are largely focused on those who pay extra for one-on-one attention, leaving little time or energy for the rest of the members.
Despite DARC's fee of around 2k per month, which positions itself as a premium, high-tech gym, the overall experience can feel lacking. Many other gyms that charge as little as 600 per month offer better support, guidance, and service compared to what DARC provides.

I have been going to darc gym for 3 years and was under PT during the whole time. My experience with them was not at all satisfactory.
During this time, i have noticed many issues in Darc which have affected my physical training that are noted below
1. Whenever my membership and PT sessions are to be renewed, I haven't been properly informed the current status or guided on the renewal packages. Only during initial joining time, a proper explanation was given but after that any renewals they ask us to contact customer support.
2. The trainers assigned to me where not all upto my expectation. Most of the days, during my personal training time, the respective trainer will be going for breakfast and will be back after 1 hr bywhich my training time got over. The result is at the end of my membership I still had almost 50 sessions pending while quitting the gym.
3. In between due to medical reasons, I have to freeze my membership for 2 -3 months. The doctor's medical certificate was sent as mail and was told my membership would be frozen until I join back. Later its communicated that its been frozen only for 1 month eventhough i was under bedrest for more than 2 months.
4. There was no periodic body evaluation or customer feedback request by any of the front desk staffs or Manager making it less friendly environment to approach.
5. Even after sending a mail with all above concerns, not a single person contacted which shows their negligence.

Join only if you want personal training(starting at 8k per month). They might be nice at the time of joining but if you join and don't opt for personal training you'll be invisible for the trainers.Every single trainer will have multiple people to train and don't even think about asking help from them. DARC has a fee of about 2k per month, I've had way better experience from gyms that charge 500 per month than this so called high-tech gym.
