  • 2/5 Andros A. 3 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    Update - after 2+ years I dropped a lot of stars. Basically the only pluses for me are location and size. You exercise at your own risk (hard to say but true) you can see people almost injuring themselves because of not knowing what they're doing and the staff will not do anything about it. Staff could benefit from customer service training for example. You can tell people seem to be treated differently if you are friends with staff. Don't expect friendly people. Is very common for some customers to take 10-15 min on a machine whilst watching their phones or doing multiple "exercises" at the same time taking time from other people who do need to quickly do their exercises. Also if you ask if you can switch the answer sometimes is a very cold NO or I'm on it. Cleanliness. It could definitely be better, main problem here is that clearly there is NO supervision and you can see cans, abandoned water bottles for days, no paper towels in the bathroom, etc. why do I keep coming back, well only because I'm too lazy to go somewhere else and because other places have similar reviews. Other gyms are over the top expensive too. This place has potential, but the way's being managed at the moment is just below average. If the staff could just get up their seats and do gemba walks regularly they would realize about all this, I guess maybe they are not being paid for that.

    Excellent gym space, sufficient amount of machines is available, most popular machines are double, always nice music playing and generally there’s a good vibe. Personnel is nice and informative. But the cherry on top is undergoing parking with free entrance without any codes or tickets. One note though - lockers with a code system would be nice.

    Most spacious and price friendly gym in Leuven, on the top there is abundance of weights and machines.

    Their facilities are OK. However, they have a horrible customer service! If you send an email, you will get a short reply which is written quickly without actually looking at your issue. You can subscribe through their website, but you cannot cancel your subscription via website. There are campaigns that exist in the facilities but not in the website. If you subscribe monthly, they continue to take money from your account even if you unsubscribe. You have to CAREFULLY check your accounts! During their close due to corona: they took money from my account EVEN THOUGH THE FACILITIES WERE CLOSED. I do not recommend.

    Well equipped and well maintained devices. Staff is friendly except one grumpy guy. Prices are fair. In the evening hours it can be heavily packed especially before closing (9pm onwards). Still less busy and better than Univ Fit.

    Good fitness, staff is very customer friendly. Equipment is old and could use some renovation, but outside of that everything is nice and clean. Strange smell sometimes in the changing rooms, but price-quality it is highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Hubert Van M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good accessibility and free underground parking (-2). Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious gym with a wide range of power and cardio machines, a cross-zone area and group lessons with the icing on the cake: the best Jims Kick teacher (Sarah) ever! (Original) Goede bereikbaarheid en gratis ondergrondse parking(-2). Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Ruime sportschool met groot aanbod kracht- en cardiotoestellen, een crossfitzone en groepslessen met als kers op de taart: de beste Jims Kick lesgeefster (Sarah) ever !

    Decent gym, not too expensive. Lots of weights and machines to train with. However ending your contract is a pain and they ask to pay one more extra month when you cancel your subscription.

  • 4/5 Alexandros S. 5 years ago on Google • 41 reviews
    Good price/quality fitness center in the center of Leuven. Personnel is very friendly. Everything is kept clean and functional. Some of the machines have a TV installed, so you don't have to choose between watching your favourite show and staying fit!

  • 5/5 Mike H. 4 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Really high ceilings that make you feel comfortable (especially for someone who had mild claustrophobia). All equipment is well maintained, even on a busy day there are some equipments available. Friendly and respectful staff

    Everything is alright! Open space is a lil too small and gets crowded quickly. Opening times on the weekend could be better.

  • 5/5 Meadhlyn 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I have been fitness here for years. A nice selection of plate-loaded devices has been added for a few months now and, very recently, all cardio devices have also been replaced by a newer model. ✓ Good price / quality. ✓ Friendly staff. ✓ Option to group lessons. ✓ High ceiling = lots of breathing space. (Original) Ik fitness hier al jaren. Sinds enkele maanden een mooie selectie van plate loaded toestellen erbij en sinds heel recent zijn ook alle cardio toestellen vervangen door een nieuwer model. ✓ Goede prijs/kwaliteit. ✓ Vriendelijk personeel. ✓ Optie tot groepslessen. ✓ Hoog plafond = veel ademruimte.

    Good fitness, good equipment, friendly staff. You do need to pay to fill up your (water) bottle and you need to take your own lock 🔒 with you to secure your locker (you can buy a locker at the reception).

  • 5/5 Žygintas B. 7 years ago on Google
    Largest and best equipped gym in Leuven. The only thing missing is that there are no platforms to drop the weights if you are doing Olympic lifts. But neither do other gyms in Leuven have them.

  • 4/5 Bart van n. 2 years ago on Google
    Popular gym in the center of Leuven. Outside business hours it can be very crowded so you might have to fight for weights or to do some exercices. Staff is really helpfull and friendly. The tv screens on the cardio devices are not high quality as there is no bluetooth sound connection and the screens itself often show a bit of snow over the content.

    Friendly staff, different tariffs, machines always in order... Plus most people who come here are focused and 'professional' so you're never bothered by anyone.

    Good fitness

  • 1/5 Carol A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Group lessons are badly done, there is no Les Mills: BodyPump, BodyCombat, Sh'Bam, etc. No air conditioning, bad hygiene in room and showers. (Original) Groepslessen zijn slecht gedaan, er is geen Les Mills: BodyPump, BodyCombat, Sh'Bam, etc. Geen airco, slechte hygiëne in zaal en douches.

  • 5/5 Omar A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very well (Original) Heel goed

  • 5/5 Koen D. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) nice, clean fitness with friendly staff. The fact that the fitness equipment is not pushed together and that there are many windows makes fitness here very pleasant. (Original) mooie, propere fitness met vriendelijk personeel. Het feit dat de fitnesstoestellen niet op elkaar gedrukt zijn en dat er veel ramen zijn, maakt dat fitnessen hier zeer aangenaam is.

  • 4/5 Reinout B. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very busy at peak times (Original) Op piekuren wel zeer druk

  • 4/5 Rémi C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Clean and tidy room. The only downside: the heat in summer. (Original) Salle propre et rangée. Seul inconvénient : la chaleur en été.

  • 4/5 maya s. 5 years ago on Google
    Best gym in Leuven😀

  • 3/5 Pieter A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Basic material for training with free weights, machines and calisthenics. There is also a separate room for lessons and changing rooms and lockers are available. Spacious place between the aircraft but it is usually quite warm to train well (even when it is cold outside). The 20kg bars are unfortunately rubbish and there are no bumper plates. For strength training still better than other commercial fitness stores in the neighborhood. (Original) Basic materiaal om met losse gewichten, machines en calisthenics training te doen. Er is ook een aparte ruimte voor lessen en er zijn kleedkamers en lockers aanwezig. Ruim plaats tussen de toestellen maar het is er meestal nogal warm om goed te trainen (ook als het buiten koud is). De 20kg baren zijn helaas rommel en er zijn geen bumperplaten. Voor krachttraining nog steeds beter dan andere commerciële fitnesszaken in de buurt.

  • 4/5 Davide C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great value for the price, especially if you like to train at your own pace and you do not care much about fancy coaching and services. Good maintenance of the equipment too, the only downside is the very inefficient ventilation system, hence the stiff and stinky air.

  • 5/5 Maarten 6 years ago on Google
    Friendly and helpful staff! Everything works fine and there lots of different machines! The first time you can try this gym out for free! They also got group lessons!

  • 3/5 Erin C. 5 years ago on Google
    No AC, front staff "trainer" rude, no place to fill your water bottle. I'll still go here because it's close to where I live but not the best place.

  • 4/5 Catarina C. 7 years ago on Google
    Great place to workout. Much space for free weight exercises, many dumbbells and many machines. Cleaning could be better.

  • 5/5 Mara D. 6 years ago on Google
    Good gym, friendly employees. Lots of different equipment in a large space. Can get a bit too crowded in the evening though.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) First and foremost; Overall clean, modern, good price and accessibility. Slightly less: The arid smell> fix ventilation? Saturated room on a Monday evening No day pass on the menu to bring friends or haylas Bench press continuously occupied given the new load of deshboys in September> extra bench? (3 instead of 2) Closure at 11 pm> Jerre the music and lights can be on longer than 10:40 pm With Mc Myllie's gangsta rap playlist we can enjoy the whole night, right? > 24/7 fitness opening for the midnight gains? Summer suffocation inside given the high temperatures in this exotic country> Purchase air conditioning? #PalmsAreSweaty For the rest, rock-solid fitness would recommend for young and old. (Original) Eerst en vooral; Overall clean, modern, goede prijs en bereikbaarheid. Iets minder: De dorre geur > fix ventilatie? Verzadigde zaal op een maandagavond Geen dagpas op de menu om vrienden of haylas mee te brengen Bench press continu bezet gezien de nieuwe lading deshboys in september > extra bench? (3 ipv 2) Sluiting om 23u > Jerre de muziek en lichten mogen gerust langer dan 22u40 aanstaan Met Mc Myllie's gangsta rap playlist kunnen we toch lekker heel de nacht? > 24/7 fitness opening voor de midnight gains? Zomerse verstikking binnen gezien de hoge temperaturen in dit exotisch land > Airco aanschaffen? #PalmsAreSweaty Voor de rest oerdegelijke fitness would recommend voor jong en oud.

  • 4/5 Valérie G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Large gym with good equipment and free parking. Cleanliness could be better ... Lots of dust on the appliances, carpet smells bad, lockers still open if they have a lock. Toilets should be cleaned more. (Original) Grote gym met goede toestellen en gratis parking. Properheid kan beter...Veel stof op de toestellen, tapijt ruikt slecht, lockers gaan mits een slot erop nog steeds open. Toiletten zouden meer gepoetst moeten worden.

    Employees are of little or no use, they sit there commenting and eating. When the manager comes, they are suddenly completely different. This is my worst fitness experience ever. I advise everyone not to come here, especially the young lady, who gave me a very bad experience.

    Avoid at all costs. Picked the higher cost to "cancel anytime". Cancelled my membership and was then hit with 4 months o/s payments plus a debt collector fee amounting to €200+ with no notice from them beforehand. Also too busy, no showers and no changing rooms.

😐 The lifeguards will NOT. Save you. Rarely cleaned but when it does get cleaned it's mediocre. Still pretty nice to go to. But it's usually really crowded during the summer as expected. Other activities are way better than swimming.
