Started by Two Frustrated Athletes
VeloFit was founded in 2017 by two former college athletes who were tired of the same problem: gyms that wasted your time.
Our co-founders (D1 track and college football backgrounds) moved to Raleigh for work and found that every gym required hour-long classes you had to book days in advance, or gave you zero structure and just a room full of equipment.
They wanted something different: coached workouts that fit into lunch breaks. No scheduling. No waiting. Real results in minimal time. So they opened a 2,800 sq ft studio on S Dawson St with 8 members and a simple idea: classes start every 15 minutes, 15 minutes of maximum effort, then you're done.
Eight years later, we've trained over 500 active members. The philosophy hasn't changed. The 15-minute interval system hasn't changed. We just got better at it.
