Photos on a website only tell you so much. If you are deciding whether a gym is right for you, it helps to know what is actually inside before you walk through the door.
Here is a room by room look around ONE|DZ, the independent gym at Darley Abbey Mills in Derby, so you know exactly what you will find.
The main gym floor
The gym covers 3,000 square feet. The main floor has multiple squat racks, platforms, cable stations and machines, including a leg curl machine, all laid out so it is easy to find your way around. There are quieter corners if you like a little space, and you will not need to hover waiting for a rack.
Free weights
A dedicated free weights area has rows of dumbbells and benches, so you can work through a full session without moving around the building.
Functional training
The functional area has kettlebells, medicine balls, a pull-up rig and a turf lane for drills such as hurdle steps. It is a good space for circuits, conditioning or warming up before heavier lifts.
Cardio and spin
There is a cardio zone on the main floor, plus a separate cardio and functional room with spin bikes facing a mirrored wall.
The member lounge
The lounge has wood panelled walls, a meal prep fridge and a snack shelf, with a treadmill close by. It is a comfortable place to sit down before or after a session, and supplements and ONE|DZ merchandise are on display too.
Recovery rooms
Private infrared sauna rooms come with adjustable heat, timers and Bluetooth audio. Physiotherapy and sports massage happen on site in their own treatment rooms, so you can train and recover in the same visit.
Changing rooms and showers
There are two changing rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, with lockers that lock with a four digit code. The modern shower rooms have marble walls, with separate men's and ladies' showers.
