    Good gym (but nothing you cannot find anywhere else) but with really abusive contracts. We are moving to a different country and they do not accept that as a reason to break the contract ( we did not get a contract copy when we sign up and it was not informed the contract was for 12 months ) Really disappointed on how they manage situations like that. Is definitely not worth the price, for a lot cheaper you can go to fitnesspark which is just one block away and has better gym equipments.

    I was looking for a gym during my 30 days stay at Lisbon, and Holmes Place looked the right place to go, good equipment, not crowded and reasonable price. When I got there, they told me the prices: 85 euros for a month with commitment plus 40 euros for subscription or 150 euros for the month without commitment. Not the reasonable price that I thought, extremely expensive and with no reason. There is better gym with even more equipments that charge 3 times less than them. After using the gym for half an hour as a test, the receptionist told me that if I wouldn't subscribe with them, they charge 30 euros the day. They didn't charge me because I didn't agree to that in the beginning, she didn't even mention this to me. Also, there is no price for only the gym area. I was not interested in the pool, spa, etc. I found another great gym close to them and much better, I don't recommend Holmes Place

    I want to share my experience and observations about this gym. I think some things here are better than in other HP branches in Lisbon (swimming pool, sauna). But all this is insignificant in the face of chauvinism (discrimination based on nationality), if you do not have Portuguese nationality, your complaints/complaints will not be taken into account, much less answered and resolved!!!! Even though I'm as much a member of this club as anyone else. There are no apologies from tactless, rude and unprofessional employees (e.g. Rui Lúcio) and much less from management. And all this in a premium class gym!!! what they call themselves. Ruining the mood of club members is not part of the list of premium services. Also, I noticed that the last few good reviews were written by gym employees.

    Never ever subscribe there. They just care of your money If you 're ill they will make you difficulties for suspend your payments Very dirty a lot of clients get skin micose Personnel trainer are uncompetent and arrogant. Socios just exist in case you pay a lot for get Personnel Trainer that are low lay because HP take most of the money. You pay a lot for a service worst than low cost gym club!!°

    Thank god for Google reviews! People sharing their honest experiences has saved me possibly thousands of euros and a lot of stress. There were so many red flags on the phone calls I’ve been hounded with since showing some interest online. Trust your gut feeling! This facility is clearly focused on money, not health and exercise. Please, anyone considering this gym, read the reviews here. 🙏🏻

    This institution will rip you off, especially if you're a foreigner. I got charged for a towel service for months that I never requested and is not in my contract. Furthermore, I got told that I could cancel my contract if I am moving away, and now they deny ever telling me that. Btw, same thing happened to my friend so this is not an isolated case. Stay away.

    I took a daily pass to use the swimming pool. 1st they didnt have a locker for me so I had to leave my bag at the reception with them on a chair behind the counter. 2nd the pool is not exactly the best if y want to swim…it’s 18m, shallow water and they use it for aquagym classes so you cannot go swimming when classes are going on.

    Great gym, ambience is good, equipment is new and well selected. The squat bar is okay, they need add more and better calibrated weights. One of the interns didn’t allow me to squat without shoes, which is fair enough but just be aware this gym may not be ideal for people that are seriously into training. Reception is excellent, very accommodating polite and professional.

    Been a member since 2015. Took my partner to this gym with a three day trial voucher. The sales employee was extremely impolite to her did not say a word ( not even hi) or tried to speak in English. Afterwards I was told by her superior that the voucher expired and I was forced to pay 20 euros for a daily pass. For a gym this is extremely bureaucratic and not friendly, especially for long term clients! Too bad because the actual gym personal trainers are really great and friendly.

    Classes have been discarded through the years. Too much investment on advertising, too little consideration for clients there for years. Poor choice of classes according to customer's comfort. Only thinking about profit, which has decreased as new gyms open every month...

    (Translated by Google) Good location, friendly staff, very good decrpm classes, good but high priced spa. The indoor pool is small but nice, bar with great juices and quick meals. Negative aspect Most classes are in gyms or interior spaces without windows. The gym has good equipment and in good condition. (Original) Boa localização, staff simpático, aulas decrpm muito boas, spa bom mas com preços elevados. A piscina interior é pequena mas agradável, bar com ótimos sumos e refeições rápidas. Aspeto negativo a maior parte das aulas são em ginásios ou espaços interiores sem janelas. O ginásio tem bons equipamentos e em bom estado.

    They have a very odd rule for women to attend pool and jacuzzi only in a full-body swimsuit. Why men can wear whatever they want and women have to cover their full bodies? Even if I'm not swimming in a sports pool but just chilling in the separate jacuzzi.

    Perfect place, has everything you need to train and more The only thing missing is another smith machine and another squat rack. Every time I’m using them someone is asking me when I finish my set

    I called asking for information about swimming lessons. They gave a misguided answer and booked me a time to visit them. When I went there, I found no need to waste my time by going. It is a simple piece of information that they could quickly provide on the phone.

    My experience with this club is frankly negative. The first impression was terrible, as the commercial consultant Liliana showed me the space almost on the run and demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the club that she did not rectify on a second opportunity, when I contacted her again after three days to get an answer to a question. As simple as: is anyone who takes advantage of the 15-day anniversary offer entitled to parking? I continue to wait for responses, regardless of whether they are positive or negative, but which increasingly put potential customers off signing up.

    (Translated by Google) I did not even have the experience of getting to know the environment, because the lady at the reception desk did not answer properly, apart from the unwillingness to work, she still came to offer us a visit the other day, for no apparent reason. (Original) Nem tive a experiência de conhecer o ambiente, pois a senhora da recepção não nos atendeu adequadamente, fora a indisposição pra se trabalhar, ainda veio nos oferecer uma visita outro dia, sem motivo aparente.

    Terrible customer service and total misinformation about the services. There are way better clubs. Not worth the money. They just want your money and pay no attention to you as a client. Profit over client satisfaction every time.

    Gym is big and well equipped, changing rooms are clean and tidy, spa and swimming pool, top facilities. Staff is super nice and very friendly and helpful. A special mention to Bruno (members subscriber) Marta (reception) Elio (reception) Bruno (Personal Trainer) This are top on customer service and its a pleasure to speak with them, they made me feel instantly welcome! Also the manager Carlos is a top man and very nice person. Particularly Elio is the kind of guy that you would invite for a beer just to have a chat, top man. Next year I will get my girlfriend to join too. Top club with top people. Highly recommended. Thanks to all the staff of this gym!

    (Translated by Google) The gym overall is great. The machines are great and it is noted that it has good maintenance compared to other clubs as the machines are all poorly lubricated and poorly arranged. The resorts improved immensely many years I had gone to experience. And the restaurant with the nice girls, are to be congratulated as well. Only thing that should be improved is the zone of free weights. That is a little dead and with little choice of bars, handles and so on. For the rest I was satisfied with the club. (Original) O ginásio no geral é ótimo. As máquinas são ótimos e nota-se que tem boa manutenção comparado a outros clubes que as máquinas estão todas mal lubrificada e mal concertadas. Os balneários melhorou imenso invista de alguns anos que eu tinha ido experimentar. E o restaurante com as meninas simpáticas, estão de parabéns também. Única coisa que deve ser melhorado é a zona dos pesos livres. Que está um pouco morta e com pouca opção de barras, pegas e etc. De resto fiquei satisfeito com o clube.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful conditions for a gym in the city center. It has literally everything and for all tastes. From a calendar of well organized classes to spaces that can be used individually such as the sauna, the Turkish bath or the Jacuzzi. Spas excellent although lockers could be slightly larger. The only snag is the price, which is almost prohibitive. (Original) Belíssimas condições para um ginásio no centro da cidade. Tem literalmente de tudo e para todos os gostos. Desde um calendário de aulas bem organizado aos espaços que podem ser usado individualmente como a sauna, o banho turco ou o jacuzzi. Balneários excelentes embora os cacifos pudessem ser ligeiramente maiores. O único senão é mesmo o preço, que é quase proibitivo.
