MORE THAN A GYM
IT'S A MOVEMENT
At The Change Zone, we believe that real growth begins where comfort ends.
Founded by Darnyl Allen, CPT, The Change Zone is built on the Change Over Comfort® mentality — a mindset that demands more of you, because you deserve more from yourself.
This isn’t about quick fixes or trendy programs. It’s about purpose. Intention. Resilience. We train bodies, but we also train minds. Each session is designed to push you physically and mentally—to help you break patterns, build strength, and become the version of yourself that doesn’t back down.
Whether you’re just starting out or leveling up, you’ll find a space where you’re supported, seen, and challenged.
We’re not just here for the grind. We’re here for the breakthrough.
Your transformation won’t be easy — but it will be worth it!!
“This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about showing up—again and again—until you become who you were meant to be.”
- Coach D. Allen
THE STORY BEHIND THE CHANGE ZONE
Why We Chase Change
For Darnyl Allen (Coach D), fitness has always been more than physical. It’s been about resilience, about finding the strength to push forward when life pushes back.
He didn’t create The Change Zone to just train bodies. He built it as a place where people could confront their limits and rewrite their stories. A place where every drop of sweat meant something.
The name comes from the sacred spaces Darnyl would train in: whether in parks, garages, or studios. Wherever he coached, it became known as "The Change Zone" - a space of transformation, accountability, and hard-won growth. This was the birth of the Change Over Comfort® Method. A registered trademark, yes. Still more importantly, a mindset that calls you to show up for yourself, especially when it's hard.
This is his passion. This is his purpose.
To guide people through the uncomfortable parts of growth—physically, mentally, and emotionally—so they can become their strongest selves!
“EXCELLENCE IN FITNESS IS A LIFESTYLE, NOT A ONE-TIME ACHIEVEMENT.”
