  • 5/5 Sensible S. 5 years ago on Google • 183 reviews
    Best gym in Kuwait. been a member for over 3 years so i can write an honest review, i usually get the 1 year subscription as its way cheaper than paying monthly 70kd (80kd for first month, coz 10kd for the registration fees) i dont do any PT can't comment on that but there are many certified coaches and its 20kd per hour. they have group classes which are included in your membership starting from early morning till around 7pm, the good thing is that each class is about 4-6 people so it's not crowded. gym is usually quite and empty compared to the other big names. loads of parking spots close by,shops,cafes and restaurants. all the machines/dumbbells are high quality with brands like hoist, techno gym and true fitness. they even offer session with their nutritionists if required and they have a room with a body pod to measure your body fat percentage and other readings. bottled water,tissues and fresh towels are offered for everyone free of charge with your membership. also you get the regular small free locker with code (for keys/wallet/mobile..etc) lots of changing rooms, prayer room, at least 6 showers with soap and body wash is included too. no pool/Jacuzzi or steam rooms.

    One of the best gyms in the country, a very well maintained facility. The service is awesome and the coaches are very friendly, the gym itself is not crowded especially at night. They do provide you with water bottles and towels throughout the day, which will really help you out. EDIT: I edited the comment I wrote 8 years ago to say this. Without exaggeration, the devices have not changed their condition for 8 years. Many devices are broken, and some of them work, but you are afraid to use them and they will break. Unfortunately, there is no interest in this regard. Not all equipment is available compared to other clubs. The only advantage is that the club is almost empty, so if you want to finish your exercises and go for a walk, it is suitable.

  • 2/5 Ok I’m o. 5 months ago on Google • 92 reviews
    Going there since 2018 so bare with me with that genuine review: first off the gym is really affordable when I was in college it was close to me, the equipments use to work perfectly I had no issue with anyone who works their then life goes by and stopped for a while because I went to proceed my bachelor. I came back to get in shape again went to Rafa nadal it’s more expensive but the staff was so nice and kind let Rafa nadal then went back to spark Important: Spark has changed a lot the gym machines are mostly out of order the staff are so weird sometimes they gossip and laugh at people aka the receptionist which is completely unacceptable the parking is a huge issue specially now because there is no parking for afternoon and night ! The new gym won’t open obviously so I won’t even dare to speak about it even if you open the new gym you should definitely upgrade this men’s gym as it is close to my house and relevant place so when people depend on this place you as an owner should wake up have Passion for what you do, it’s not only about business and money .... work hard and you’ll get more customers that will support you keep an eye on the staff specially the crew ! I wish things could change for spark to the better but nobody subscribe for now go to oxygen until I see something revolutionary

    Spark is one the best gym in Kuwait. The facility is big and really nice looking, all the equipments are really high quality, and you have all the equipments you need for any kind of training. You have a wide program of group classes to choose from and you can have different personal trainers if you prefer to have a trainer.

    Great GYM with excellent coaches, but amenities could use some refreshing/renovation.

  • 4/5 Salman A. 10 months ago on Google • 104 reviews
    The club is fun, beautiful, clean, the atmosphere is enthusiastic, but the equipment for perfecting the bodies is old, and some of the coaches are psychological. I hope they change the equipment

    I’d like to start this review by saying I used to come to this gym six days a week two, hours a day for the past two years. I’m leaving this negative review to let everyone know that the staff are by far the most incompetent people you’ll ever meet. I was physically assaulted by someone who was angry at the fact I was still using a machine he wanted, went to report it to the receptionist, he proceeded to kick me out of the reception area despite the fact I was having a literal panic attack over the fact I was assaulted a few minutes ago, then he said he “needed to hear both sides of the story” even though there was video evidence of what happened. I walk with him and show him the person who physically assaulted me, that person told him he refused to talk with me around then the receptionist gestured with their hand to shoo me which was disrespectful on top of everything else that happened. I wait back at the reception area, the receptionist comes back and tells me he’ll have to forward it to the manger and I’ll have to wait, I proceeded to wait for an entire month with no update, I messaged them daily and they kept ghosting me. I reminded them every time I entered the gym and they kept saying the manger was working on it. I finally decide to go see the manger since every time I call, he’s either “in a meeting” or not there, so I go in the morning for the sole reason of talking to him, he brings me to his office and tells me to tell him the entire story I do. He promises me that he would ban that person as they broke the terms of conduct when they physically assaulted me, he also promised that the receptionist would apologize for his rude behavior during that entire ordeal. To my surprise the note the receptionist gave to the manger A MONTH AGO, was lost by the manger. now they lost the name of the assaulter and promised me they’d find it as he comes daily. They never did, I kept calling for months and I was always told they were still looking. I know for a fact the receptionist knew his name but pretended not too as he disliked the fact I reported his misconduct. He never apologized for shooing me inspite of what the manger said, he actually verbally refused to aknowledge his actions adding salt to the wound. In short, Spark is the the type of gym where if you get physically assaulted, they won’t do anything to help, it’s the type of place to delay a serious issue hoping you’d forget about it, it’s the type of place where a receptionist will shoo you and refuse to apologize, it’s a place where the manger will promise you things but never follow through. This is how they treat someone who’s been going there daily for the last two years so I’ll leave it to you to imagine how much worse they’d treat someone new. I no longer go as I do not feel safe or comfortable there.

    It is one of the best health clubs, a large and spacious place, and the most important thing is cleanliness, as well as the staff and trainers who are cooperative and highly efficient.
