    It is spacious and has several machines including treadmills, rowing, bicycles, hiking, etc. There is also a large area to lift weights which gets crowded between 18 to 20 hours, so it is best to avoid these times. Virtual lessons and private trainers are available. The lockers and changing rooms are in good condition.

    The place had a variety of machines in a good location, however some of the weight lifting benches are very close together making it feel crowded even though the gym is empty.

    Great gym. Opening hours could be longer. Edit: I have to remove one star becuase some equipment is broken since February 2023 and it has not been fixed (June 2023).

    My home gym for almost 2 years. Weight section is a bit too small and cardio section is much too big. However; staff is friendly, atmosphere is good. Not once was I eyed out of the gym just before closing time (this is the case in many other basic-fits). Space is clean, they have most equipment.

    Terrible! Everything is old, the place is always too crowded, the gym in general is small. There’s a lack of good ventilation so the place always stinks of sweat. Equipments are all old and rusty, there’s a lot of things that you would expect at a gym that are missing. They tell you if you take a flexible membership you can cancel anytime but will still charge a full month when you cancel even if you cancel before the end of your subscription month. Wouldnt even train there if it was for free.

    Relax and nice atmosphere. Everyone minds their own business and I would say its pretty clean :)

    Extremely nice staff with a clean gym. Always ready to help. I’d only like to see an update from the machines. The newer basic-fits have the stuff that you need. The current machines are outdated and often break.

    A gym that doesn't even have 1 and 2kg dumbbells. Looks a bit men oriented and not fully inclusive. When I asked if they would get this kind of dumbbells in the future, they told me to go to a women-only gym...

    Nice staff. However the gym itself is small, has old machines and no real space to do free weights. I was very disappointed when I went to this basic-fit, very poor offer for the zone.

    One of the best options if you are looking for a short term membership.Go for the six visit package .

  • 2/5 wessel b. 1 year ago on Google
    The equipment is fine, but the opening hours are extremely frustrating. Only opens at 9am on the weekend and closes at 4pm

  • 4/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    Spacious, clean, new machines, cheap. It's really big I don't understand why some say it's small. It's definitely not! I change my rating because it's very busy lately.

  • 5/5 Razvan N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for working out. The gym is quite big and the people are nice.

  • 3/5 Jordan V. 1 year ago on Google
    - My first impression was that it's a very small gym, the machines are so close next to each other - Nice equipment and machines

  • 4/5 Toyo 5 years ago on Google
    Price pretty much represents the quality of the gym. However, I found out that staff there are super cool, friendly and helpful although I saw many negative comments regarding the service of staff. If you look for a gym with basic equipments, basic fit may be the best choice.

  • 3/5 Michelia K. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s been a pretty good gym for working out with machines and doing some virtual GxR classes, but Saturday I had to leave as soon as I arrived because the stench was so bad! It made me nauseous and I couldn’t even start working out. I know it’s a gym, but this was beyond a general sweaty smell. There also hasn’t been soap in either of the women’s toilets for a while and I’ve had to use the men’s just to wash my hands after using the machines. It’s details like this that bring it down to 3/5 stars, even for a cheap gym. Soap and cleanliness are basic necessities for even the most basic gym. That being said, the staff is very friendly and helpful...when you can find them.

    Staff consistently asks me to put my weights back before I am not even remotely done with my exercise. They have harassed and blamed me and others multiple times for leaving weight that were left by other people. It's almost like they want me to do their work for them. Staff lacks social skills and empathy for members and loves to harass them. Highly recommend visiting another basic-fit in Amsterdam. Very unhygienic gym and there is dust everywhere. I have never seen any cleaning personnel or staff do any cleaning. The only cleaners are the gym members

    One of the worst basic fit gyms around. Lack of (free weights) space, lack of weights, lack of benches (some are broken even), too many cardio machines vs. weight machines. For example, there is only one squat smith machine. Equipment is old and from technogym. The hip abduction machine has its highest weight at only 60kg, there is a larger space you can't use because it is reserved for group work outs but there are almost never group workouts.... And I can go on and on....

😠 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.
