Meet the owners Louis Dykes & Dean Dark
Meet Louis: Born and raised in Tavistock, Louis has always been passionate about fitness. After managing BodyZone and personal training for 9+ years, he opened his own gym in Callington in 2020, alongside running his own coaching business.
Meet Dean: With 15+ years of experience in the fitness industry, Dean's no stranger to helping people with their fitness goals. From personal training at Saltash Leisure Centre and China Fleet to taking over, rebranding, and opening gyms in Saltash in 2020 and Liskeard in 2021, as well as coaching clients.
Together, Louis & Dean have a clear vision for VFT: a diverse, high-quality fitness facility that meets the community's needs. With their combined experience of launching and running successful gyms, they know exactly what works and, more importantly, what the people of Tavistock want.
