    Small and flexible gym that offers a pretty wide variety of lessons as well as solo workout space. The subscriptions are somewhat expensive, but relative to other gyms in Amsterdam it's nothing crazy. Nice location.

    The old school building look is amazing. Trip down memory lane. At day time pretty quite and for the open gym it has everything, just a bit outdated gear but that's to be expected in an old school building

    I am very happy I chose this gym. Every class I go to I feel more confident and it makes the passion for doing sports grow in me. As they focus on good quality strength classes, mostly with your own weight, like Vinyasa and Ashtanga style active yogas, fitness (crossfit style), boxing and kickboxing, ... they allow you to build your body from the ground up. And even being a novice in all this I feel able to carry out the classes and not lost, in that I have to thank the wonderful teachers they have. Also the facilities are very good, small but cozy!

    I went for the cross training lower body, the class was pretty intense. I felt like it was more like a CrossFit style of workout. The instructor was motivating. As for the installations they are efficient without being stuffy. The changing rooms are pretty old school.

    The most hipster gym I've ever been to. Cool retro vibe inside, and the classes seem good. But it is quite pretentious.

    Decided to do CrossFit in 2023 and choose for Het Gymlokaal West. The classes are very motivating and makes you get the most of you! Deff recommended. It has a very laid back, international crowd.

    Het Gymlokaal changed my perspective about gyms. The venue is old school and beautiful, the trainers are motivating and knowledgeable, the classes are diverse and challenging, the staff are very friendly (shout out to the sweet Abla!), and the environment is very supportive. After a month going to classes using Classpass, I decided to join their membership. Super worth it.

    I have been going to the gymlokaal for several months now (mostly through classpass bookings). It’s quickly become one of my favorite places to train in Amsterdam. The class schedule is super diverse and challenging from boxing to gymnastics to cross training and anything in between. I really dig the look & feel of the gym and have found most trainers to be very knowledgeable and fun.

  • 5/5 Lorin V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What a nice gym this is, not only beautiful, but also really good lessons with enormously carefully selected trainers, not your typical gym. RECOMMENDED !! (Original) Wat is dit een fijne sportschool, niet alleen prachtig, maar ook echt goede lessen met enorm zorgvuldig uitgezochte trainers, niet je typische sportschool. AANRADER!!

  • 5/5 Manouk de V. 1 year ago on Google
    High quality lessons, very personal and the best teachers of Amsterdam

  • 5/5 Jochem S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super good gym! The kickboxing lessons are fantastic! (Original) Super goeie sportschool! De kickbokslessen zijn fantastisch!

  • 1/5 Jurian van G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The gym is bad in every way. Opening times are indicative. The number of times I stood in front of a closed door in the morning is no longer countable. So you can forget about sports before work. The staff does nothing about it. The lessons then. The "kickboxing" is beginner level pocket training. Sparring is not included. That must be separate on Sunday, but that is of the level half has his shin guards with him. Avoid this if you are used to something seriously. It is way too busy. There are regularly 80 people busy with different lessons in 1 room. Material is scarce. 1 bench pressure set, the bench of which is probably used by a crossfit class for some hop exercise. Dumbbells the same problem. No facilities. For the price of Het Gymlokaal you can expect something more than a spartan room with a minimum of equipment, other gyms have a sauna, etc. Here you get absolutely nothing (except a locker that you cannot close). (Original) Het Gymlokaal is in alle opzichten slecht. Openingstijden zijn indicatief. Het aantal keren dat ik voor een gesloten deur stond in de ochtend is niet meer te tellen. Voor het werk sporten kun je dus vergeten. Het personeel doet er niets aan. De lessen dan. Het "kickboksen" is beginnersniveau zaktraining. Sparren is er niet bij. Dat moet dan apart op zondag, maar dat is van het niveau de helft heeft zijn scheenbeschermers niet bij zich. Vermijd dit als je iets serieus gewend bent. Het is veel te druk. Regelmatig zijn er 80 mensen bezig met verschillende lessen in 1 zaaltje. Materiaal is schaars. 1 bankdruk setje, waarvan het bankje waarschijnlijk door een crossfit klasje wordt gebruikt voor een of andere huppeloefening. Dumbbells hetzelfde probleem. Geen faciliteiten. Voor de prijs van Het Gymlokaal mag je iets meer verwachten dan een spartaans zaaltje met een minimum aan materiaal, andere sportscholen hebben een sauna etc. Hier krijg je helemaal niets (behalve een kluisje dat je niet kunt afsluiten).

    (Translated by Google) Super nice gym! The combination of lessons and the atmosphere of this gym are, in my opinion, very unique in Amsterdam. Also a very nice team where every trainer has enormous knowledge of the training he / she gives. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for more than just "simple" sports! (Original) Super fijne sportschool! De combinatie van lessen en de sfeer van deze sportschool zijn wat mij betreft heel uniek in Amsterdam. Ook een heel leuk team waarbij elke trainer enorme kennis bezit van de training die hij/zij geeft. Zeker een aanrader voor eenieder die meer zoekt achter sporten dan alleen β€˜simpele’ apparaten!

  • 5/5 Stef S. 7 years ago on Google
    I hated gyms. With a passion. I really did. These crowded, sweaty, unhygienic, expensively cheap mass fabrics of impersonal fitness. Then came along Het Gymlokaal...A former School, transformed into an one of a kind gym, which transformed my deep hate for gyms into actual admiration (and muscle). It's a place where people know you by name and will be greeted with a genuine smile. Once you've entered one of the two gorgeous and authentic halls, you'll be trained by the best trainers you can find. The Mobility class is my thing, so if you don't believe this story, you can find me at these classes and I'll state exact the same story straight to your face :) Classes remain deliberately small, so personal attention is what you will get. All the other facilities are there and top notch, so if you just want to free train, that's all good. Once you're done, you can hit the DS Cafe around the corner for some proto-shakes and an after-party at De School. Dafuq do you want more? I can honestly say that I hated gyms. I can honestly say I love it now.

  • 3/5 Fiona Y. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good teachers and lessons, excellent facilities and app, poor subscription conditions (see below), inflexible and moderate ventilation, but a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, there must be a full calendar month (starting on the 1st) between if you want to freeze or cancel your subscription for a month. Not very flexible and, most of all, a pity that you have to continue paying while you are temporarily unable to attend classes. (Original) Goede docenten en lessen, prima voorzieningen en app, slechte abonnementsvoorwaarden (zie onder), niet flexibel en matige ventilatie, maar wel een leuke sfeer. Helaas moet er een volle kalendermaand (die begint op de 1e) tussen zitten als je je abonnement een maand wilt bevriezen of opzeggen. Niet erg flexibel en vooral jammer dat je moet doorbetalen, terwijl je tijdelijk niet naar de lessen kunt komen.

😠 Unfortunate to see my favourite gym constantly in disrepair. Often taking weeks to months before simple issues are fixed. Cleanliness is also not as it used to be - WCs become disgusting later in the day. Calling customer support wasn’t helpful so I thought I’d post my complaints here.
