I'm Julien Turr and I'm 63 years of age. It's been two years and a half so I'm in to my third year at the DVCC.
I've tried the other gyms, I've tried different diets, I've tried this, I've tried that. I could probably write a book on all the things I've tried, and to me, DVCC was really like a last chance saloon for me and, It's working.
I've done different things over the years, I've joined different gyms. Sometimes I went fairly often, sometimes I didn't.
I played American football for a few years - the Stormbringers in Northampton. I've done different circuit training, I've done this and that but nothing quite as progressive as the DVCC is.
I've toned up, I look fitter, I've lost some weight with DVCC and I feel probably more confident. I feel really that the DVCC program is working for me.
I think probably my happiest moment is, in all the years I've been doing different sort of fitness and that, I've never really enjoyed doing the fitness. I've done it, and it's been a chore. It has taken me the best part of 2 years for the penny to drop and to actually want to come to the gym and I really do enjoy the DVCC.
I had a knee replacement in May this year, and I had another knee replacement 10 weeks ago. I've come back to the gym just 2 weeks after each operation and I've started with upper body.
The personal trainers gave me a program just for myself and I've got stronger and stronger and stronger with the training.
After my first operation, 11 weeks later I was back riding my horse. So the right knee was pain free and I was much, much stronger than I was anytime in probably the last 20 years or so.
The training has really helped and I'm just waiting now for another week or two for the other knee to fully recover and get back on the horse again and go off for a gallop!
So it's been fantastic, yeah, great help. I'd recommend it because it's small enough to care and large enough to be professional.
The people that own the DVCC, The Gray Twins, are very professional and the staff they employ are absolutely superb.
They would rather be short of staff than have someone that wasn't doing the job properly. They've got great, great staff and It's virtually 1-1, It's tailor made to your requirements.
I would definitely recommend the DVCC.
