😠 Quite possibly the dirtiest and most anti social gym ive ever seen. No staff, but plenty of people that will try to steal your weights during a set. People often mention people, good, equipment, staff,

    Very neat gym and good classes but 95% of the time can not see the receptionist at the counter. It is hard to find the person. I usually go for a class for which trainer either comes late or did not come to the class. People would train themselves. We don’t either get any updates from the gym as receptionist is not in the counter or away

    Bad and noisy neighbours. There are constant complaints from nearby houses about the way they mismanage the place, have unlicensed airconditioning units, bright neon panels all night long, garbage and noisy parking in a quiet patio.

    Dirty toilets, the stains have been there for 2 weeks now, they placed airfreshners to cover up the smell. Really? There is dust in the corners on the spiderwebs and tons of it on the machines. Machines are old not well maintained and one has been broken for 2 months now.

    This gym is getting worse and worse. People not using towels on machine and mats, missing dumbells (8kg), disgusting toilets despite the hard work of the cleaner. It’s the work of the staff to tell people that putting the dumbells and weights back is part of the workout.

    Marlous is very agressive in her approach. I understand that every teacher has a personal style to make people perform more, but its never okay to yell, scream and insult people, or force them to perform excercises. There’s a difference between someone telling you not to give up and someone ridiculing you and make you feel ashamed because you physically cannot perform the exercise!

    Most of the outdated gym equipment has worn out rubber grips. It’s the bare minimum a gym should have, you get what you pay for I guess. Free parking though 🅿️

    Dirty gym, dirty environment, no energy at anyone, it looks that the whole years no body cleaned this gym. Staff unhelpful both in person and email.

    Very friendly & attentive staff, gezellig & welcoming atmosphere overall. Always clean & nice equipment. Every now and then, a few "alpha machos" parading around the free weights section that later on are too weak to put the weights back to their racks. Guys: save one last rep and pretend it's a "farmer's walk". haha :D

    Completely unprepared for the corona rules. I went there after months of home or open-air workouts and it was too crowded, I couldn't do even half of the exercises I wanted to without violating the 1.5 meter rule. There is a QR-checkin system at the entrance but many people easily went by without checking in front of the receptionists' eyes who didn't even care. No one on the main floor checking that social distancing is maintained, most of the people there were incompliant to the rules and left equipment without sanitizing it before or after. Absolutely outrageous.

    Cheap gym ,decent place and good equipment . Air-conditioning is not fit for purpose during warmer days of summer . You have to pay for shower . Some staff need re traing as they can't simply even say hi or good when you enter and leave .and if Something breaks down ,takes ages to repair

    Poorly laid out gym. Often there is no room for the free weights. Employees are often nowhere to be seen or they are in the cubicle on their mobile. My girlfriend no longer comes there alone in the evening because she has been harassed many times by boys pretending to be personal trainers. The gym is not ventilated and the heating is often on despite foggy windows.

    Very unfriendly service from a male employee when I asked for help to check in while my camera is broken. I always exercise at the invitation of my partner, which my partner also pays for in his subscription. This man reprimanded me, acted rudely and didn't believe I was the person trying to sign up. I remained calm and asked what I should do differently according to this gentleman, since my camera is broken - and I am the one who politely asks what I should do. Two weeks later I am called over by the same young man in a very hostile manner (yelling as I walk in and politely say hello). I explained that I am always open to a conversation, but that in my view this is not the way to do it. The gentleman remained unfriendly and hostile and I felt very unsafe as there was no one else there. I have indicated that I am leaving because I do not feel good about this. This also indicates to the gentleman that his behavior twice feels very hostile, the gentleman does not agree with this and continues to behave in a hostile and unfriendly manner. As a woman, this feels very unsafe to be treated this way, so I indicated that I would leave. So unfortunately I wasn't able to exercise and now I don't dare go to this location anymore.

    Be careful! They lock you in for years. I am still paying for this junky gym even though we left the neighborhood months ago. Crooks! With the money I spent I could've joined a real gym instead of one with broken machines and a funny smell.

    Spacious, cheap and good quality equipment. Cleaning is clearly worsening over time, dust etc. The worst is the often lack of handsoap in the men's changing room, odd became the staff seems to have enough time to surf Facebook. Overall 3/5 stars from me.

    Quite cheap and they do have most of the equipment you need. Can be crowded often except for the early mornings. Staff is friendly too. Forgot to mention the most important thing: the womens changing rooms door always seems to be wide open for some reason :)

    It's my local gym, and I have been working out here since 2015. I know quite a few people at this gym. Very friendly and good equipment.

  • 4/5 Teije S. 7 years ago on Google
    Nice and clean place. Staff is friendly and the equipment looks very "new". Everything very basic but the prices are really low. It seems better equipped than their colleague-gyms.

    Only went for free gym. Machines are all new. Not that big, but a nice gym.Fit for free has better gym in Amsterdam. Definetly worth the money for the subscription.

  • 2/5 Jimi S. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    This gym used to be pretty solid. Large and not too busy. Since about November 2022 suddenly SWAMPED with kids. LOTS of them. Wouldnt be surprised if many are under the required 16 years old to become a member. Clouded in deodorant/aftershave and occupying much of the material. I had to forfeit a couple workouts this month already. Just couldnt deal with it. I was so annoyed that I even wrote this review. Can you imagine?!

    Let me tell you one thing. This gym is the worst when it comes to hygiene and cleaning. God help you if you have to go to the bathroom. The only positive thing about this gym is that it is so quiet because so few people come
