I like Animo, I like the classes and the venue. People are nice, welcoming and the amenities are okay. However, I feel that the yoga and pilates classes have way too many people in the room for it to actually be comfortable and relaxing - the placement of the mats is so close that you're almost always accidentally touching your neighbour. And the same thing goes for the locker rooms. It's jam packed, you can't move around and you have to wait, sometimes too much, to get a shower, because there's only a few showers. It's hard to find a locker at the most popular hours, and you hardly have any space to get dressed. I feel that if there was more space in the changing rooms and the classes less packed, this would be a perfect, 5 star gym, worth the price. Like it is, paying the premium but not being able to enjoy the amenities, I don't believe it's worth it.

Used to be a great place in the beginning, now the issue of cleanness is growing in geometrical progression, especially in Flagey studio, but Brugmann is not far behind. Some teachers are qualified to do their job... others have no clue about the intensity of the exercises and logical spread of pressure on one muscle (speaking about the reformer class). Outside the class, in the common area, they brag to each other whose class is harder, like its a competition.. who tortures clients better ... 1. your class is not hard - it is painful and dangerous for the health; 2. your class should not be hard on the first place; it should be challenging and effective. I live 1,8 km away from Brugmann studio (which is exactly 5 min drive), in order to make it to the class on time I have to leave AT LEAST 30 MIN before, regardless the time of the day, and drive around countless time to find a parking, which is the issue with all other studios ... I invite ANIMO creators for future projects (at least) to consider a parking for their clients, as most of the gyms who charge the same fee have, (some are even offer it for free)! Sometimes you get lucky with the parking, sometimes not... sometimes there is an issue on the road and sometimes the car in front of you is driven by an old lady... so, if you get to the studio 3 min before the class, you face a situation, when your place is given to someone and you pay a penalty cost. Normally staff will not let you in, if you did not arrive 3 min before the class, but not really.. unless they know you, some clients are more privileged than others (this is also something insane). Will be considering other gyms for the future.

I was literally 1 second late for the class at 8am and ride teacher would not let me in. This would have had no effect on routine. Place is amazing just this teacher needs to realise when you pay per class and make an effort to travel 20mins for class a little compassion would not go astray. Shame on her

I love this place, great classes and friendly instructors. However, given that this is a high end gym there is a lot of room for improvement: - Their reception staff should be trained to be as friendly as the instructors are, as sometimes their welcome feels rushed and rude. It's a premium gym, so clients expect premium service and treatment. - As others state: it is crammed with people, classes, showers and bathrooms are very busy - Their rules for being a bit late are unreasonable especially given the membership price...being late twice will cost you as much as some monthly gym memberships in some other less fancy places.

been an Animo regular for a year now and it’s hands down one of the best fitness studios i’ve ever been to! huge variety of quality classes, friendly instructors and good vibes. so so happy i found this place in Brussels

Best Workout in Brussels!! 50 minutes of intense and effective lessons that will make you totally addicted. Between bootcamp, spinning, yoga, barre and pilates - there is something for everyone! Beautiful atmosphere, great motivation and fun playlists, do not hesitate to try one of their workouts! The reception team and the "bar" are amazing, as well as the trainers who motivate and help to surpass and improve ourselves!

Super expensive. Here’s why I pay for it anyway: 1. Gwen! Such a funny and energetic teacher, such a pleasure. Gives useful fitness facts, great playlist, fluid explanations. Gwen changed everything, I wasn’t going to get a class pack until I went to her class and then I was like yep this is great. 2. High quality classes (well except for the yoga, really you’re better off going to a proper yoga studio) 3. It feels like it’s a woman’s gym. There must be men in the spinning classes but I don’t even know where the men’s changing room is, there are so few of them busing around. I love it this way. 4. The little luxuries. Complementary deodorant and conditioner? Hair dryers? Beautiful interior design? Makes me feel like a goddess.

Great concept and vibe that I love a lot. One of the main reasons I’ve been coming back to Animo is the energy and the professionalism of one coach: Gwen. She’s above amazing and makes each workout so unique and fun. Thanks Gwen for the great workouts over the last year!

The place is super nice, clean and fancy. I enjoyed all of the classes I attended so far, even though I am not super into group classes. The vibe is nice and super empowering without it being too cringy. However the issue I have with Animo is booking system. Some of the classes and times are quite popular. The booking opens always 2 weeks in advance. So most of the people book the spots, to have it "just in case" if they decided to go. I don't like to do that, but that makes it very difficult to plan or actually book the class I want to go to. There is also prior booking for people who have subscription type of memberships. I understand this is one of the downsides if the place or some class is popular, but this is definitely something to consider if you don't have that much flexibility or you're not able to plan things that much in advance. Maybe this will be solved, with new location which is going to be opened soon, but let's see what type of classes they will actually have there and if they adjust the way classes are booked.

ANIMO has the best vibe out of any of the other studios I have visited in the city. The staff energy is always positive, the diverse range of classes (all in English, yay for us expats!) keeps you covered and challenged… and the snack bar ,of course, is something I look forward to after every workout.

Looooove! There’s no place like this in Brussels - the vibe, the people, the classes. Top level trainers and class programmers. Worth every penny and I’m so glad they’ve opened again! ❤️

A brand new concept in Brussels which combines three different workout rooms (HIIT, cycling & yoga). Highly dynamic and professional team in a contemporary and welcoming environment! Best place to workout in Brussels!

I have a good impression of this place. Friendly staff, clean changing rooms with everything you need. I would like to mention coach Alexandra. I was at her training for the first time, before the start she gave an instruction for beginners. Such an attentive attitude is very pleasant :)

Animo is simply amazing! I never had so much fun and felt so empowered as when I work out in this place. They have completely changed my relationship with sports and helped focus on all the mental and physical benefits I get and how to be a stronger version of myself. It’s a bit pricey, but completely worth every cent!

Best gym in town!! Very challenging but also very rewarding! Very good coaches - I usually follow the train classes - and service is excellent! Clean showers, towels and washing products available!

I love this studio! All the trainers and staff are great, there's not one class I don't enjoy, from ride to yoga to pilates. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel at home. This studio has everything you need, plus I love the cafe area (and the breakfast bowls). If you're looking for a fitness place where you can do your own thing, Animo is not your place. But if you want to enjoy sessions, feel empowered to go every day, and still get great service, Animo is for you.

Best studio in Brussels ! The staff is super nice , welcoming and really helpful. You must try their gainer shake and açai it’s to die for ! Recommend this place ++++

Amazing place. Very clean. Great instructors.

Awesome gym with perfect equipment, great staff and teachers, clean showers & good products, nice protein shakes too ! 10/10

Great studios, great concept. There are different workouts for everyone, the coaches ate just unique and awesome ! I would definitely recommend Animo to anyone who loves working out and to those looking for great workouts.

Great classes, if you manage to get in. I almost never do, as they are all regularly full and I'm usually "the 15th on the waiting list". Quite a nightmare if you'd like some consistency in your training routine.

Just the best all-around fitness studio in Belgium! Everything from the welcome, the amenities, the friendly staff, to the remarkable array of different classes. Definitely the only place worth going to!

Editing this from a 5 star review after a year or so, because I feel it’s still a good place but needs some corrections. The classes are amazing, and so are the instructors and staff. You get a lot of things included in the price, like filtered water, towel and bike shoes for the spinning sessions and you can also get toiletries and bath towel if you have a shower there. Nevertheless, it’s indeed a posh place, something I think the owners aim for, and some people may not like it. You might get a side eye by the regulars just because, and you will encounter super selfish people for sure. My last remark is that the shower tiles need a better scrubbing and the towels were a bit smelly the last time I visited. Overall, it’s a good place and I think the managers take reviews into account to ameliorate.

Clean, amazing stuff, coaches are simply the best. They push you further than you could have thought. Beautiful studio and great vibe!

The best workout studio in Brussels. I love it so much that I go there almost everyday ! Thank you for the amazing experience every time :)

I have been attending classes at ANIMO for almost a year. Having tried group classes in various places (in Belgium and beyond), I can say without a doubt that this studio is a gem. The variety and quality of classes are unparalleled and I am pleased that you can purchase class passes and are not obliged to commit to a monthly fee. Out of all classes I particularly love Gwen’s. Her classes are creative and playful with a special twist. It never gets boring! I also particularly appreciate her devoted engagement with us customers. In other studios you feel just like "another client" the trainer does not have time or interest in. I would encourage everyone to try out this wonderful studio! (PS: The small embedded cafe is also a plus!)

The ULTIMATE fitness destination in Brussels ! A large panel of classes provided by amazing instructors. A caring, non judgemental place where you can work out at your own pace.

Good quality workout in a great quality space. The classes are mostly in English which is another plus for me.

Awesome place. Delicious smoothies. Great gym classes!!

The studio has everything you could want and need to feel completely revived after every session.

Amazing class, awesome instructors, cool vibes, friendly staff and delicious acai ! Dark room and loud music - great energy for a high intensity workout. There is a nice coffee shop where you can stay after the class and also good showers where you can use Grown Alchemist amazing products !! Try it, you'll be addicted in no time.

Incredible fitness experience. The instructors are so supportive and nice, the schedule is amazing with ample options of different classes and different instructors teaching those classes. The space is always clean, tidy and the overall look is very modern and calming. There is always deodorant, hair ties, bobby pins and lotion provided in the locker rooms. No need to bring towels either, they’ve got you covered on that as well. The showers are incredible, no waiting time for the water to get hot and the water pressure is divine. Absolutely love The GAINER shake for before/after my workout. Lastly, I love Animo because of the international community. There’s people from all over the world coming to these awesome classes. As most of them are taught an English, it really attracts a lot of international people. I’ve met so many wonderful friends there! Not only a fitness center, but a community. Oh, and the music is always great, I find myself jamming in the locker rooms post and pre workout all the time 😅

The ultimate boutique gym in Brussels! Great coaches, amazing 50' workouts and good vibes from beginning to end. What else? The studio is beautiful and they serve the best coffee!

Everything about Animo is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! The best cafe for healthy drinks and snacks, and the best workouts!! I love that you have access to all different kinds of workouts under one roof. Makes it easy to cross train and try new classes. The coaches are amazing as well!! They offer amazing workouts that are always different & play amazing music that helps motivate you through class.

Wonderful place offering many different disciplines: Yoga, Pilates, Spinning, Train classes, ... Qualified team. This place will help you create joy and confidence !

The best gym/boutique studio where you can find 3 concepts in one single place ! No matter what you are looking for, you will find it at Animo Studios. Train, Ride and Move ; 3 different concepts as good as each other ! The coaches are very motivating and their choice of playlist are also amazing which bring you to a complete next level experience. The design and the materials are very high quality. Come and try, you will be addicted to Animo !

One of the best things in Brussels. great location, atmosphere and ppl. You can find the best instructors there! everything is amazing!

I love the studio and the vibe there. They have amazing coach and playlist. Not cheap for sure but it’s worth it, I feel energized after each class and the place is clean. The fitroom/shower is definetly a ++ compare to others gym. I also don’t feel judged during workout despite the place is a bit trendy. English friendly.

Ok, so I decided to wait some time before reviewing Animo, and after my 10th class I think the following: These are hands down the best spinning classes I’ve even been to, the coaches are nothing less than amazing, new playlist each class, and the atmosphere and energy is just out of this world. (Shoutout to Kaoutar and Beste, love their classes) Yoga classes are amazing, teachers are amazing too. The place is spotless, it feels super safe and the environment is flawless, the design of the place is super well thought. Also people behind the desk and the bar are super friendly and helpful! Had a shake today, it was delicious too, I’ve heard the coffee is the best in town, yet to try.

I am rating this place after going to it for more than a month. Excellence, professionalism & devotion are consistent at ANIMO. One of the best gyms I’ve ever been to (I’ve tried ones in NYC, DC, London & the Middle East) The instructors are very experienced, professional and friendly. My favourite classes so far are train w/Cruz, spin w/Felecia (you get an exercise & personal motivation in this session), & yoga w/ Lea & Carla. The staff is very welcoming & helpful. I am an average 40 year old male and the client is diverse, cool, hot & respectful. The place is very clean & organized.

I find this place excellent choice if you are looking for different types of workouts and a lot of flexibility in terms of schedule, also the place is neat, so it really motivates to come and sweat ! =D

It's been almost a year since my first class and I still love going to Animo. I wish their prices were a bit lower, but other than that I cannot say a bad word.

Amazing studio - top quality decor and spotlessly clean. Classes are excellent (Train is pretty tough for those looking for a harder workout) and love the post workout smoothies as well. Staff super friendly and they have Dior skin products in the bathroom which is a great touch!

Amazing fitness studio. All instructors are very friendly and professional (Gwen's and Alexandra's classes are perfect), the customer service is great and the place is pleasant and very clean. I have been to many gyms/studios, and I have never managed to find a place like Animo. Well-done guys!

The studio is very modern, curated and clean. People is very polite and I am enjoying so far the ride classes that are the only one tried until now. The only issue is that the studio has the last class only until 7 pm ..:(

This is the best gym in Brussels! The classes and instructors are amazing. Fit Barre with Gwen is unique. I love the ride crazy classes and the teachers' vibes <3 It is the best way to start your day!
