Velocity Barbell

Fantastic experience: HIGHLLLYYYY recommend this gym. It’s great for everyone- those who have never walked into a gym before, those who are already in shape, those who are injured, and even seasoned athletes. I joined velocity a year after an accident that left me with a lot of pain in my hip, knee ankle and foot. Previous to the accident I was a runner, biker and I did at home resistance workouts multiple times a week. After the accident I could barely walk without pain and was stuck on the couch for a solid year, losing muscle and gaining weight. After seeing multiple physical therapists and orthopedic specialists with no improvements, I messaged the owners of velocity and got in for a consultation (best decision I’ve ever made for myself.) They gave me their full attention, assessed what was wrong, designed workouts just for me while making sure I was moving properly and had the right form to make sure I wasn’t hurting myself. Within 4-5 months my pain was significantly decreased and I could walk long distances again!!!!! Then in 6-8 months my pain was mostly gone, just random flares. Now today- 10 months after joining- I don’t experience any pain. None. Nada. Zilch. I CAN RUN AGAIN. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and I feel amazing and constantly motivated to keep improving. Brad and Chelsea really do know what they’re doing- their philosophy works. They’re here to help you improve in a way that benefits you physically and mentally, not in a way that makes you feel bad about yourself. They truly believe in what they’re doing and you can feel it when you’re there, which is such a rare and lucky thing to find. Highly highly recommend them, book your consult today!!!

Fantastic experience: Velocity Barbell is the best gym in Fort Wayne, period. I've been a member for about a year and a half, and have never been at this high of a fitness level in my life (not even when I was younger). If you want an elite-level gym that is committed to making you healthier without damaging your body, Velocity is for you. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever joined. I absolutely love the trainers, the facility, the community. I have become stronger than ever from the highly technical coaching that makes me feel confident and safe. It has changed my life and makes me excited to go in for each session. I’d highly recommend anyone join if you want to change your life and health.

Fantastic experience: The best. Period. After years of CrossFit beating my body into a pulp and not getting the proper recovery, switching to a commercial gym for years and not staying consistent with my workouts, lacking motivation and accountability, I found Velocity Barbell. The group classes are small enough that you get the proper coaching that you need. If your form is wrong, the coaches will correct you. If you aren’t putting in your full effort, the coaches will correct that too. You have to want to make a change in your life, and we all know that the only person who can convince you to do that is yourself. Velocity Barbell will give you the roadmap to success. If you are ready to get strong, lose weight, improve your mental and physical fitness, and meet a group of awesome people, this is hands down the best place to do it.

Fantastic experience: Small gym, big results! Work at your own pace or train with one of their expert coaches! I highly recommend if you are looking to become serious about your health.

Fantastic experience: Brad and Chelsea are wonderful people and extremely welcoming. An incredible asset to downtown Fort Wayne and the surrounding community. The gym is ALWAYS neat and clean. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to better themselves.

Fantastic experience: Truly the best gym in the entire world, if you want to train and get strong this is where you go. If you want to get fit and better your life this is where you go. And if you just want to look good naked then this is where you go. Chelsea and Brad are the best in the business and if truly want to become the better you. Then i recommend checking out Velocity Barbell!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym regularly for about a week now. The coaching, the atmosphere, the people, everything about this gym is just awesome!

Fantastic experience: Velocity Barbell was awesome. I was in town for a short time only and got an excellent workout here. Brad was very helpful.

Fantastic experience: You will get the best workout experience you can have at Velocity Barbell. The coaches care about you personally, and their knowledge on weightlifting and nutrition is exceptional. It is a supportive environment and an amazing place!

Fantastic experience: I was able to meet with Brad today with some assistance in looking at my form on barbell squats and deadlifts. I had never had any formal training before my session with him. He was incredibly helpful in identifying and correcting the process that I had during my lifts. He was knowledgeable in explaining the physiology of the movements and how slight changes can affect my lifts. I found it really helpful that we were able to record every set that I did and go through each one to look at my specific movements on what I was doing right and what I could be doing better (then subsequently implementing the recommendations in the next set). Both Chelsea and Brad are very encouraging people and makes lifting incredibly rewarding. Their facility is very open and has a welcoming feel to it that makes it not at all intimidating to enter. I would definitely recommend Velocity Barbell to anyone who just straight up wants to get better at lifting.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful to those (me) explaining things I have never tried. Very helpful when I asked about nutrition..

Fantastic experience: I can't begin to say enough about this place. If you are looking for a place that you are welcomed and pushed to do better look no further. The coaches, Brad and Chelsea encourage you to do your best and celebrate your achievements with you. I absolutely love the coaches, gym and the people there. I highly recommend this place to anyone no matter where you are starting from.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover how fantastic this place is, let alone how incredible the owners Brad and Chelsea are. They are some of the most caring people I’ve ever met. Their coaching skills are off the charts. Their backgrounds differ slightly, which adds variety to the programming. They are extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help. Their passion is contagious and inspiring- doing whatever it takes to help make members be their best! This gym is made up of people of all ages, skills, and backgrounds with one thing in common: WORKING HARD AT BEING OUR BEST! The atmosphere is positive, the music is always good, and gains are always attainable if you put in the work. Truly a one of a kind spot; life changing. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: It is easy to say this place is great, and you will love it but that really doesn't do Velocity the justice it deserves. You will be hard pressed to find a more welcoming environment in the Fort Wayne area. I was extremely hesitant about joining yet another gym, going through the motions as I had with so many other memberships. Needless to say, after the first meeting with Brad and Chelsea, I knew I was going to join (if they let me). It didn't feel like the typical gym and after a couple months that still remains true. Brad and Chelsea are both extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to skill level or injuries, the facility is great and 24 hr. access is awesome.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and great facility! Velocity was a great experience for me. I did the 6-week program and ended up losing 22 lbs and 6.5. % body fat. On top of that I learned how to lift properly and got a lot of great work outs. They also give you a recipe book and diet plan during the 6-week program which gave me a huge leg up in weight loss and being healthier.

Fantastic experience: Love the workouts! Keep spreading the gift of health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: Amazing space and results!!!

Fantastic experience: AMAZING! I wish there were more stars to give. I signed up for the 6 week challenge and was nervous going in. I have always been a “cardio bunny” type. Weights and any type of lifting intimidated me. It was amazing watching my body change and reaching results I’ve wanted for years but never achieved even after hours on cardio machines. And SO much more fun too! There are no egos from coaches or members, everyone is there to support and build each other up. It’s an amazing community and I would recommend it to ANYONE wanting to make a healthy mental and physical choice for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I started with a 6 week challenge, losing just over 28lbs in that time. There was no question I was joining after the challenge. You really do have a family in your fellow athletes and the extra push you need on the days you may not believe in yourself. I'm stronger, physically and mentally... but most importantly this is the first time in my life I've LOVED going to the gym every time-and that's led to 100% compliance for my almost 4 months being here Chelsea and Brad (and the rest of us) are ready to invest in you of you are!

Fantastic experience: Encouraging atmosphere. No egos with the staff. Clean. Always tweaking form to give the best results

Fantastic experience: Everyone here welcomed me with open arms and I immediately felt like I was part of the family. Brad and Chelsea have played a huge part in changing my life!! Love this place. Check it out you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I started with their 6 week challenge and lost just under 20 pounds! Throughout the challenge I was able to change my lifestyle and become a healthier individual. Velocity Barbell has changed my life for the better! I am in love with the encouragement that emanates from each athlete and coach. I wish I would have found this gym sooner to start my fitness/health journey sooner!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and awesome people to work with. Would recommend anyone to go to see what they do.

Fantastic experience: Velocity Barbell is a phenomenal new gym with owners that are dedicated and qualified at their craft. If you want personal attention and coaches who truly care about your development and progression in whichever specific area you need then please give them a try!

Fantastic experience: Great environment meal plans and coaches!

Fantastic experience: Great experience with the 6-week challenge at Velocity! Chelsea and Brad are very supportive and knowledgeable. They are quick to respond. They have a set plan but can change it and mold it to your experience level and your physical abilities. Effort based results- they can’t do the work for you! Love it there now as a regular member.

Fantastic experience: Best place on earth to get your fitness on

Fantastic experience: After our tour at Velocity Barbell my wife and I are excited to join! Great equipment and very clean. Thanks Chelsea, can't wait to join the family.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility. Great for beginners and advanced lifters. Brad and Chelsea really know what they're talking about. It's awesome to see a place like this open in Fort Wayne.

Fantastic experience: It’s nice actually having good equipment to workout with. This place has good quality equipment and a great atmosphere. If you are looking for a good gym near downtown give it a try.

Fantastic experience: The people are great and the passion they have for what they do is evident in their effort.

Fantastic experience: Brad is an excellent trainer! He takes the time to understand you and your needs and builds a plan around you. Definitely give him a try!

Fantastic experience: Chelsea & Brad have been training me since day one. I can definitely tell you I have increased my strength tremendously only because of their coaching. Best equipment in town by far with a very clean environment!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and it's owners! Brad is an inspiration on so many levels!

Fantastic experience: The amount of hard work that has gone into this place is amazing. Chelsea and Brad have really shown what it takes to make the american dream come true.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym!!!! Chelsea the owner is very nice and will make you feel comfortable no matter your skill level! I highly recommend this organization. Great environment!

Fantastic experience: Just had my first training session with Coach Chelsea yesterday. The program is tailored to help me achieve my goals which we spoke about during my first visit to the gym. The equipment is great and the staff friendly.

Fantastic experience: Awesome community and great addition to downtown Fort Wayne!

Fantastic experience: To expensive right now ☹

Fantastic experience: Great gym and amazing staff! As a Army Veteran and ex travel medical professional I’ve trained in many gyms throughout the U.S. Velocity has been one of the best gyms I’ve been in, not because of the staff but the atmosphere and the members. You will not go wrong joining this gym. My girlfriend and I love it and for her to love going and hate missing a session with Coach Chelsea is a big thing. The knowledge and dedication of Coach Brad and Chelsea is amazing! I am so proud of this gym and excited for their future.

Fantastic experience: Professional coaching for anyone that walks through the doors. If being coached isn't your thing, you can always just buy a membership and workout on your own. The facility is clean, the equipment is brand new. Great environment for a great time.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility! Fun staff that knows what they are talking about! 5

Fantastic experience: Brad has a passion for helping people in and out of the weight room. If you have fitness aspirations that you'd like to fulfill, Velocity is where to start. It's motivating when your trainer is genuinely invested in your success and gains. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Love this gym for several reasons! The coaches, the members, and location. I was fairly new to lifting and everyone there has been very supportive and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: I will always be thankful for Velocity Barbell, Coach Chelsea, and Coach Brad! I just finished their 6 week weightloss challenge. I lost 25.82 lbs in the 6 weeks with their guidance and encouragement. (I suffer from hypothyroidism, which was always my weight gain excuse). The challenge comes with meal plans and workouts with the coaches. They WILL hold you accountable which is what I really needed. They actually made working out enjoyable! The meal plans were easy and I never felt starved! Reach out to them if you are ready for a lifestyle change!

Fantastic experience: Great gym!!!! If you haven’t gone yet, go now! The owners are very passionate about their craft and helping their customers succeed. Very welcoming and fun place to be. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Co-owner Brad is very motivating, knowledgeable, and wants to see you succeed. I would highly recommend this place. The gym is also locally family-owned, which I prefer to support rather than a chain.
