TL;DR - Upscale, class-style gym in Amsterdam Oud-West that still needs to work out a few kinks before really being an elite option. Full Review: Cost: 20 EUR per credit, one credit per class. Gloves are 1 EUR for hire, 45 to buy. Introductory Offer: 20 EUR for three credits. Overview: Amidst chique surroundings and design, Saints & Stars offers two HIIT classes, Holy Shred and Holy Box, each with its own dedicated studio for 40 or 20 participants respectively. Facilities: Saints & Stars has gone all-in on hi-spec facilities. The speakers are BOSE, the computers are Apples, the floors are marbled and the towels are soft (and free!) Front of house staff are friendly and helpful, with a full stocked juice and coffee bar. A little over the top for my taste, but clearly no expense was spared. Unfortunately, a lot of this attempt at luxury is undone by the strange choice of placing the cleaning cabinet in the men's locker rooms - I only saw female cleaning staff, and their frequent incursions can't be appropriate for anyone involved. Holy Shred: A well designed workout combining treadmills and free weights, but the execution of my class was poor. The trainer, Lea, gave the class in Dutch, asking (also in Dutch) if she needed to do it in English a full five minutes in - we got away with it on our class, but it showed a lack of consideration and should be addressed. Worse, there were errors throughout: long pauses between workouts disrupting momentum, a lack of count-ins to guide participants, and few speed suggestions for treadmills: it was disappointing to see those around me conducting 'sprint' rounds at a 10km/h pace without being corrected. At one point Lea proceeded to call out two participants out for stopping, despite it being due to her mistake. Finally, the cool down was much too short, paying limited attention to lower body stretches or heart rate; my heart was still bumping in the shower. I liked the work out, but I'd avoid this trainer until she'd picked up some more experience. Holy Box: a HIIT combo class of floor work, grip-weights and boxing with the gym's aqua-bags. With Master Trainer Roberto at the controls, there was a marked improvement in the Box class. He switched easily and with humour between English and Dutch, counted in exercises and explained them clearly without breaking momentum. Sadly, poor workout design meant I found myself frequently bored (I counted 8 minutes of dribble-jabs.) While Roberto explained he'd be laying off the boxing technique to help the large number of first-timers, the much heralded aqua-bags are going to be far too loose for anyone that likes to throw some power into their punching, and the layout constricts movement work - so I wonder how far they can really go. Again, a limited cool-down was frustrating, though it frankly wasn't necessary following such a low-intensity session. Conclusion: The lush interior is great, as is the look and lighting in the session rooms. However, those of us willing to fork over 20 EUR a class expect an elite level work out to match, which this was not. Things to improve: - Separate the cleaning closet from the men's changing area. - Ensure all trainers are using clear count ins and instructions to maintain momentum and guidance. - Conduct proper cool downs. - Deoderant and wet-bags (for kit) in changing rooms. For me, Saints-Stars talked-the-talk but failed to really walk-the-walk. That said, I'd like to come back once thy gym has found its rhythm, and will be saving my final credit for another try in six months.

The gym looks amazing and the lights and setting are top notch. The class itself (holy ride) is however, a complete joke. Most tracks were 120-150 rpm. During these unnecesarily fast tracks, participants had to stand and do complicated choreos. This resulted in EVERYONE around me cycling at 30-60 watt the entire class - which is ridiculously light.So the participants were standing, cycling reaalllly fast, with zero resistance. They were flailing about. Hello injuries and torn ligaments, and hello useless class. A walk would probably burn the same amount of calories, without risking hurting yourself. I really appreciate the new trend of club experience classes but dont understand why Velo, Rocycle and this studio as well don't seem to know the basics of safe - and effective - cycling.

Severely overpriced gym that doesn't value the health of its guests as much as it should. Much too loud music in the group classes, severe mistakes in the instructions (for example not saying or checking people protect their necks when doing sit-ups). When I told the staff about the music and mistakes they just said: that's the kind of gym we want to be. I don't think doctors would agree and for this kind of money one should be able to expect knowledgeable staff. To be fair, the personal trainer we had for small group personal training was very good, so if that's your thing, definitely go for it.

Epic high end gym, well maintained and clean. Has club style lights and environment which I don’t love personally but it’s still done well. Amenities for people who buy classes. You can also order smoothies. This place is best for hardcore studio fitness classes. Intense boxing and riding classes with intense instructors. Will be back to try another class next time!

Today was my fifth visit to Saints & Stars and I have genuinely been considering taking out a full membership with them. But they NEED to get a grip on people taking photos during class! I mentioned it to them for a second time today, and have seen other reviews on ClassPass mention this. They need to tell people to put their phones away at the start of class - it's super distracting for others, who are there to work out. And to the guy in the Oud-West 12pm Holy Ride class in the back corner today - with dark hair and glasses on - the workout will still count if you don't post it to Instagram, you know... you really put me off my game whilst you were taking photos all the way through class. Don't be that guy! Sorry to have to write this review, but PLEASE take notice of this, Saints & Stars management team.

The best gym ive ever been to. Been a gold member for almost a year now. Yes, it’s pricy, but the workouts are amazing. The clubs’ decor is beautiful, it’s clean, there’s always something exciting happening (challenges, gifts and performances) and they keep improving! Highly recommend:)

Absolutely avoid

Great experience, intensive workout, will definitely be back. My only wish is that they’d cut down on single-use plastic. It really is not a necessity to give out plastic water bottles or smoothies in plastic cups.

Next level disappointment, it’s a ripoff and their customer service is disappointing. I’ve been a gold member for almost 2 years. In spite of the constant cost reductions - less cleaning frequency, clogged showers, poorly washed towels, fewer amenities and perks (opposed to the ones included in the initial agreement), they decided to update their prices on Dec 14, effective as of Jan 1. I requested a termination of the contract as I do not agree with the increase, but now they say that I have to stay until Feb 5 which means that I will still have to pay for the pricing update they announced 6 days ago. I asked them to keep my previous rate up until the termination and they say they can’t do anything. Zero flexibility and quite abusive measures. They should have announced their new rates with enough time to let people decide whether they agree on them or not.

The gym is next level. It starts with the way the website looks, it's visible that substantial investments were made to promote it, thumbs up for that. And to be frank, the gym is clean and very modern, and it provides many amenities: shower towels, fresh minty towels after workouts, soap, shampoo, even cotton buds and mouthwash. The cons from my point of view are: there is no sauna or swimming pool; some workouts, like Holy Box, could be a bit more elaborate; since it is rather a pricey gym, it has to stand out not only through the way it looks and the amenities it offers, but also through the quality and complexity of its workouts.

Only love for this place. One comment that I really feel the need to voice is that, I understand that Roberto is the founding trainer, but his classes are not my favorite. He seems uninterested, sometimes do not take the time to give cool down. Seems like he loves the influencer or the famous members but can't be bothered about the others. Luckily, the other trainers are amazing and always ready to greet you with a smile! Please just take this as a constructivism. :)

Really love this gym; the work out, the trainers and the facilities are great. Quite disappointing to see the studio hand out free water plastic bottles at every class - it's highly unnecessary given the water tap next to reception. Studio would be better off selling branded reusable bottles.

5 star hotel feeling with trainers who motivate and entertain you during the workout. Personal Training room looks amazing!

This gym is really next level. Everything has been thought of, the design is flawless, there's personal training and physiotherapy services, the hostesses are ever charming, their shop is stocked with top end quality training gear, the bar has batista class coffee, the shakes have all the additions to (re)fuel you pre or post workout (there's even vegan options!) and not to forget, the classes (Holy Box and Holy Shred) are next level HIIT! Definitely worth your time if you're looking for a new challenge and appreciate top aesthetic concepts!

At 1000-calories a pop these classes are no joke. You'll sweat, you'll burn, you might even scream. But in the end, you'll love it. The Holy Box and Holy Shred are intense but effective classes for everyone who loves a good sweat. No real technique required, or fitness level.

Absolutely love this studio! Intense workouts (Burn - Sweat - Sculpt proof) and amazing personal trainer. I highly recommend trying out Saints&Stars for yourself!

Been going here for a few months now and the classes are a great motivator first thing in the morning! The amenities are modern, clean and chic and all the staff are welcoming and friendly. The only downside I’ve noticed is the amount of single use plastic, I feel like half of this could be combatted by not offering free bottles of water and perhaps charging to encourage bringing your own!

Love the staff, the workouts, the vibe, the trainers, the music and the feeling after!!

The space is amazing. When you get in you don’t think you are in a gym, you feel you are in a wellness centre! All studios are really cool, such as the Holy Ride and Box. The changing rooms and showers are 5* hotel quality. But the most important thing is the quality of the classes, special love for Anne’s Tuesday evening Shred!

Nothing compares really! Location is great and I’ve been coming here for a long time. It’s clean and people are friendly. Never skip a Tuesday Shred 😉

Súper workout! Always fun and the place is so beautiful. Everybody there is super kind and very nice.

Great and intense workout in a high end club: amazing experience!

The perfect gym doesn’t exi…. Well Saints & Stars does! Absolutely in love with the concept of just following the instructors without having to think about sets and reps. Work yourself into the ground for 50 minutes straight, the smoothie afterwards is the reward of the day. I didn’t like (conventional) gyms anymore. S&S changed my mind after a friend gifted me a workout to check it out. In doubt? Go there, once. You won’t be disappointed! My tip: Holy Box in West. Oh and there’s still the option of open gym in their building in Zuid. For those who do like to train on their own.

The gym is so good, I’ve never been willing to leave a comment so much. It’s beautiful, clean, great located.Staff is friendly and welcoming, holy shred workout is everything you need to have a satisfied day and great body. I’m very grateful for my experience in Saints Stars

Great gym, great energy. Love the workouts, the music and the trainers. The interior is next level, and the people who don’t and train are beautiful and motivated. Special shout out to trainer Larz, who has the best energy ever! Highly recommend this gym:)

We love everything about this place! A shout out to a few amazing trainers we’ve had classes with who are all equally passionate and inspiring: Alcides, Zaza, Dieuwke & Herns, you rock! Thank you 💚

Oh how I hated this place. Extremely hype-y with poor quality service. First, the starting credits that you buy need to be used within 2-3 weeks, but it's either not clearly stated or hard to notice at the time of buying. Then there's the poorly planned layout of the place. For the 'holy ride', you have to leave your shoes at the locker room somewhere far from the place where they give the special shoes, so enjoy walking around with your socks where other people are walking with shoes. The beginning of the workout itself is extremely rushed, without enough time and explanation to raise/lower seat levels, attach the shoes to the pedals etc. Nobody is there to help and explain other than the instructor who takes 30 seconds to rush through it one time. If you take a while to understand this complex setup so quickly and make a mistake, your whole workout will be ruined and you might even injure yourself. The workout itself focuses a lot on extremely high rpm biking with low resistance, which I don't think is good for your muscles and joints. All of this with constant flashing blue lights in a dark room where you have to frantically keep your eyes closed to not throw up. Never going back.

Next level experience!

Like an upgraded and better priced Barry’s. Even the protein shakes are a good deal, especially with membership. The gym part is small, but well furnished with premium equipment.

Beautiful next level gym! Great staff & trainers. I really love the hitt classes! MUST SEE & GO

I've been training here now for one year and it's by far the best workout you'll find in Amsterdam. The holy shred classes are intens. Great amenities and even a greater crew. The entire team makes you feel incredibly welcome. Keep it up! 💪🏋‍♂

Great amenities compared to 5 stars or even 6 star hotels. Working out in the dark led setting with pumping music allows you to give out your best with no holdbacks. Make sure that you’re on time 👍

Definitely my favourite gym in Amsterdam! Great vibe, amazing trainers, tough workouts - what's not to like?

Not sure if they exist but this would be as close to a 5* gym as you can get. Facilities are impressive from walking in the front door to the changing rooms and showers. More importantly the classes work, been to Holy Shred 4 times since NY and already see a big difference in my fitness and look. Trainers know what they're talking about and are very motivational, looking forward to seeing what the future holds

The best gym in the city ♥️

My sport addiction! Holy Box routine never disappoints. And the stuff is extremely friendly and helpful

I've never had such a fun boxing lesson in my life. The music was upbeat and everyone was having a good time. The trainer was trying her best to engage everyone in the workout and look out for everyone. I would come back here another time!!

This Club is one big WOW-factor. Best gym out there. Always a fun place to work out and the trainers def make sure you get a quality session!

Really fancy and cool sport club. Expect close to luxury approach to everything here while still ability to sweat as it should!

Best spot for early morning box fully body workout

Love this place!

(Translated by Google) Best gym ever !!! (Original) Beste gym ever!!!

From the moment when I walked into the club until the moment I left, I felt really welcome. The staff is very helpfull and the club has got all the luxury that you could ever wish for! I had a great workout! :)

This place is.. next.. LEVEL!

great workouts and facilities! Especially love Holy Shred, it's addictive!

Best gym in Amsterdam!

as good as the best gyms in London

Been PT training with Mo for a while now. Set clear goals and definitely reached them out. Mo is a highly knowledgeable trainer and pushes you to your limits but always with safety in mind. You sometimes can barely walk after the training :) but it 100% worth it and results are visible in no time. Facilities are great, few improvements could be done here and there but overall a great place to train!

This is the best gym in Amsterdam. I love the lessons, especially the holy ride. The trainers motivate and push you above what you would thought you achieve. But the you can use as well the open gym if you want. Looks really good too but I’m not a gym person more the lessons. But perfect to get some variety in your training. The bathrooms are insanely beautiful. You got it all. And then the cold mint towels in the end of the class. Just amazing. I’m so happy that you guys are around the corner of my house so I can get sweaty from 6am already .

I have been a Gold Member for 1 and a half years and the trainers have been nothing but absolutely wonderful, friendly and experienced. I have learnt so much during this time! Nonetheless, I must admit the administration of this place is a HUGE disaster. This gym has wrongfully taken HUNDREDS of Euros from my account. I kept being charged for “no-show” fees and “late cancellation” fees even when I would cancel a class with long time in advance. The customer service employees kept asking me for the “proof of cancellation emails”. The reason I was always contacting them was indeed because I was not getting said emails…. And then they would stop replying to my emails and Whatsapps after that. I had to stop my membership because I am absolutely done with their IT/admin mistakes which have costed me hundreds of euros. Not to mention that the “Luxurious facilities” include sticky, constantly clogged, sewage smelling showers

Saints and Stars in Amsterdam offers an extraordinary fitness experience. The dedication of top trainers and diverse classes makes it a must-visit. State-of-the-art facilities and high-quality equipment ensure a comprehensive fitness experience. While the price may be slightly higher, the unique atmosphere and quality of Saints and Stars justify this investment. A fitness destination that inspires you to achieve your goals.

My all time favourite gym!!! Staff is welcoming and super helpful with everything. You can always count on the trainers to push you to your limits while keeping the workout a fun experience! Also the gym offers everything I might need before and after the workout making going to the gym something I look forward to. And don't forget to taste the yummy smoothies!!

There are only handful of studios that get you in the zone from the moment you enter. Saints and Stars is definitely one of them. From the smiling people behind the counter to awesome trainers, this studio will motivate you like no other. And on the same note, what a shame that their zuid studio is a pale shadow od the west studio

A top-tier gym in Amsterdam, the cutting-edge facilities, luxurious ambiance, and commitment to excellence truly set it apart. The gym’s interior is both motivating and luxurious, with a keen eye for cleanliness and design. The professional staff, including knowledgeable personal trainers, contribute to a supportive community atmosphere. What stood out for me were the innovative fitness classes, especially Holy Box and Holy Shred, providing a unique and challenging workout experience. The gym’s investment in the latest fitness technologies enhances overall training. While the membership cost reflects the premium nature, the value in facilities, services, and personalized attention makes it a worthwhile investment. For those seeking a fitness haven beyond the ordinary, this high-end gym in Amsterdam is truly exceptional.

It’s amazing and another next level of doing sport, once we got there we felt like in a luxury place with a warm welcome by the staff, the lockers are well filled with good quality of personal products to help me out before or after my work out so I do not need bring so much stuffs with me, like shampoo, remove make up, deodorant etc, everything is there. The trainers always make you feel you can do it, feeling the music while my work out is mashed by me. Definitely it is another next level to do a workout, has been an experience never got it before.

Attended Holy Shred workout at this gym. Very good class, amazing environment. Monthly subscription is pricey, but one time classes (20 EUR each workout) a few times a month is a quite good option.

Best HIITs. The place is beautiful, the equipment is great and modern. The teachers are good. And they give you some kind of infused mint fresh towel at the end and it is just perfect.

Awesome gym. Kind people. Easy classes. I mean they are hard. But you can just join. you don't need to be a pro. Really great service. Nice showers and supplies. Smoothies are really nice and coaches give you the energy to go on even when you think you can't

Great boutique gym !!!

My favorite gym in Amsterdam. Only place I signed up for recurring membership.

(Translated by Google) I have never been here but google says so (Original) Ik ben hier nooit geweest maar google zegt van wel

Great workout, 5 star hotel changing rooms

Great gym, but hair dryers are always overheated and therefore not working. They said they’d find a solution months ago but still no functioning hair dryers :(

(Translated by Google) Very good GYM (: (Original) Zeer goede GYM (:

Absolutely love their shred classes and coaches and go three times a week so hate to leave this review- but find their late policy very annoying. Arrived 30 seconds late (on a rainy day with two bridges open on my way) and they don’t allow you to go in. You take 2 hours out of your day for nothing basically. For someone that goes religiously to their classes, plans their day around them, and is never late, some kind of understanding on days like this would be nice. I understand policies have to be there for a reason, but find it very impersonal there is no room or understanding.

Intense training! I did the shred one and it's a nice combination of HIT & running. The vibe is quite cool (you feel like tin a 5th Avenue training in NY) and I love the tech house music list. It's pricy but not a lot of sport schools have such concept.

This is most likely down to just a personal preference, but I found this place too busy. Not in terms of people but in terms of overal vibe in the class: loud music, flickering lights and everything feels rushed. On the positive side, the staff is friendly, facilities are good and they give you a free towel.

Saints and Stars is like no other gym that I’ve been to! Each session is carefully thought out, the trainers are friendly, the place is extremely clean and it’s beautiful too! The classes are intense but each one there is the option to scale down to suit your needs. I’m so happy to have found Saints and Stars ⭐️

I have been a member for over 2 years now. Longest I have stuck to a gym (and it’s not even close) and the most consistent I’ve been because I’ve seen results. What makes it possible ? two things, but of course these are personal: 1. The class format (holy box and holy ride are great) the classes combine cardio and weight training which makes well rounded workout. Workouts are well organised and structured. The trainers guide and motivate you throughout. Personally I find that this makes me push harder 2. Having it booked at a timeslot even when you want to do your own workout( for me once it’s the calendar it is gospel and I don’t think about it again) once it’s booked it’s out of my hands Overall the staff is great and very helpful in all respects. Other Nice to Haves Clean locker rooms with nice showers Cold towels after a workout, workout and shower towels Smoothie bar If i have to say one thing it would be to improve the availability of classes. There’s huge demand so you have to plan well for certain slots. Overall, Saints & Stars spoils you. I recently tried another gym and I felt the stark difference in overall experience. Keep up the good work guys

I had an incredible experience at this gym! The variety of classes they offer, including boxing, cycling, and running, is outstanding. The instructors are top-notch, ensuring that every session is both challenging and fun. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere is motivating! :)

Gym experience taken to the next level!! The workouts are intense but super fun and suitable for all levels. I was absolutely amazed by the atmosphere in class and the energy of the trainer. The staff was really helpful and friendly as well. Despite it being busy, everything looked neat and tidy. The standards are super high!! Plus because it was my first time there I got a free tote bag and 50% off of my shake! Can only recommend!!

It's the kind of attention to detail that makes you feel like a VIP every time you visit: from the minty towels, to the hair tools (dyson, are you kidding me?), this gym truly knows how to spoil its members. The trainers know how to truly push and motivate you! It's the perfect place to take care of your body and mind, all while feeling like royalty. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to take their fitness journey to a whole new level. It's an absolute gem!
