Here to serve the most outrageously fulfilled version of you.

People start to change their body. They stay because we change their lives.

This is why and how we do it.

There are three types of people in the world...

Winners.

Losers.

And people who haven't learned how to win yet.

That's who we specialize in. You see, we don't put our heart and soul into the people of this gym so you could come here and be the same person in 12 months, but a little thinner.

We opened Velocity because we believe with all of our being that there's a winner inside every person who is willing to search.

We knew there was one inside of us, and we've spent two decades and $150,000+ removing the obstacles keeping us from living the lives we REALLY wanted to live.

And we developed a system that repeatedly delivers these outcomes to clients.

And oh yeah, you'll look and feel unreal too.

The Covenant of Velocity

When you walk into the typical gym, if 100 people are there, 5-7 MIGHT get the results they are looking for.

That's unacceptable.

At Velocity, we constantly ask the question, “What would we do to get EVERYONE the outcomes they desire?”

This leads us to a thorough intake process, robust coaching on habit formation and visioning, and a bespoke experience for each client.

It allows us to work with people who are ready, willing, and able to change. And those traits, coupled with our commitment, results in the “Covenant of Velocity”,

You will become leaner and stronger.

Not if, only when.

And that'll be the least exciting thing to happen to you.

There are many reasons not to do this...

We’ve been doing this nearly eight years. We constantly hear from well-intentioned people why things won’t work.

And we consistently prove every person wrong. How?
We deal with self-doubt aggressively and outside criticism savagely.

“That’s not a good location, downtown isn’t safe.”

Great, we’ll be the thing that improves it.

“That’s a lot of money to charge for a gym.”

Exactly, which is why we aren’t the place for someone who just wants a gym.

“It’s hard to find good employees.”

That’s why we find good humans and make them our teammates.

“Why would you invest over $20k on building a brand, just get a logo made with ChatGPT.”

Because it’s not about a logo, it’s about making a place that attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones.

“Aren’t you worried about competition?”

We compete against ourselves every day to deliver the best outcomes for the people we take care of.

When you have conviction about who you are, why you are here, and where you are going, everything else is just noise.

Our Values

The underlying philosophy that dictates every decision at Velocity.

Our Team

Good humans. Skilled humans. Educated humans.

People-focused humans.

“How can we deliver a better outcome for our clients, and a better career for our team?” 

You can find Brad meeting with clients for coffee, grappling on the jiu jitsu mat, or nerding out to literature exploring how to change human behavior for the better.

Autumn went to college at Western Michigan University (Go Broncos!),  where she received dual degrees in Exercise Science and Psychology.

She uses this blend to help clients develop physically, but also to unlock mental barriers.  She was a college athlete and uses this same drive for the benefit of her clients.

Outside of the gym you will find her walking around Promenade Park or hitting up the Landing for some restaurant hopping. During the spring season you might also see her helping out with the New Haven High School softball team.
