THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I was physically attacked and abused for wearing the football jersey of the wrong team of this gym. Two men at the front desk followed me into the Locker room and demanded that I remove my football jersey. It was only a jersey of Croatia. When I refused they asked the manager to kick me out, and she did. I called the police and filled a report. I ensure everybody that this is a toxic, menacing fitness center fueled off anger and hate, and they hate Americans. Not only will I never return to this hellhole, I’ll do everything in my power to ensure that this Avalon Fitness Center ceases to exist and that nobody - unless every other fitness center in Bosnia shuts down - ever attend this place.

I was in Sarajevo for the weekend, I emailed them 2 weeks before arrival about daily memberships and the club was quick to respond. I really liked the facility, it on the top floor of a shopping mall. The staff is friendly, clean, patrons are pleasant. The only down side I found is that the weights are very limited. Dumbells end at 22.5kg and plates are only up to 15kgs. Great for casual workout, not the best if you want to lift heavy.

I am visiting Sarajevo and wanted to have a session or two while away. I walked 25 minutes to get there and at reception I was told I need to have a second pair of shoes with me and can’t wear my trainers that I was wearing going in as they are used to walk in the city and their carpet is sensitive!!! Note that I called in advance to ask if they do daily passes and nothing was mentioned about this rule(?) After a lengthy conversation I was allowed in only if I wanted to train in socks or with overshoes. When I asked how would they know that if I brought shoes with me, they would be clean or not used to walk anywhere else (!!) I was told with attitude: “I have shoes only for the gym and not to walk around”. Also note, that I saw at least two people leaving the gym, walking in the “dirty” city with the same trainers they were training in. Also the gym has 2(!) benches leading to long queues. Only reason for the second star are the very nice changing rooms and code lockers. If you are also visiting, take your business elsewhere!

I was warned that I should workout in t-shirt in the future. I had a classical tank top shirt. Then they explained me that they do not have a bench press because they are a fitness center. :) There are better options to workout in Sarajevo.

Warning to all foreign visitors - bring a pair of fresh/clean sneakers to the gym versus wearing them with you there - you will not be allowed to workout. Seems like a silly policy but silly policies exist all the time.

The only good thing is the location, it's always very crowded there. If you want to work with 3 people on 1 machine, I recommend it. There are not enough tools. dumbbells max 22 kilograms. I suggest you look at other gyms around. The price is 40 euro, in a modest place like Bosnia, the was too much for me. This doesn't deserve that price.

The gym is pure style and no substance. It looks very nice, clean and neat but there is SO much more to be desired. First of all, the gym is TINY - so small in fact that the personal trainers take over all the areas of the gym (even the stretching area) to do their sessions. Lots of cardio machines, but incredibly limited free weights. The front desk staff lack the most basic customer service knowledge - ignoring everyone who walks in, no smiles or anything and if you ask a question they make it seem like you disturbed them. The only upside to this gym is location and clean & modern changing rooms. Not sure why this is called a health club though - it doesn't have ANY health facilities, only fitness.

Arrogant employees that are unable to put a smile on their face and properly greet customers when they enter and exit the premise. Other than that the gym seems fine.

Horrible experience overall, dont let them have your money, there are much better gyms in Sarajevo.

The gym is nice and clean and has free lockers, you can also go here as a tourist for one day for 12mk. They could however add some extra equipment and machines, the dumbells only go up to 22kg.

I would have given 5 stars if the music wouldn't be as loud as it usually is.

(Translated by Google) It is not recommended to visit it (Original) لاينصح بزيارته

(Translated by Google) the gym is clean, the dressing rooms are great, the little yeljeya is missing the little weights, the "personal" coaches are uymu all the benches you have no dye to do bendy, expensive beyrayloga, everything extra needs to be trained (Original) teretana je cista, svlacionice su super, fali malo yeljeya fali malo tegova , " personalni " treneri uymu sve klupe nemas dye raditi bendy,skupo beyrayloga,sveusvemu ekstra treba ovdye trenirati

The place has a great location and it is very clean. After your training you can take a shower which is great if you are having it before going to work. The only thing I miss is the punching bag and some extra space. People working there are very friendly.

For me the best gym in town. Great staff big changing room and clean! The rest is up to you 😄. Push it to the limit!!

This gym aspires to be a high-end gym due mainly to its location (its located in a shopping mall, just across yet another mall) but very sadly, has many serious caveats. It is clean and shiny at all times, yes. But it lacks basic equipments: only one bench in the entire gym for bench press. Lacks also very basic concentration machine equipments that even an ordinary gym in Sarajevo would have. It’s not really possible to befriend other clients as most seem to be bullies in their own ways and most likely because they are or feel upper-class by Bosnian standards. The staff clearly lacks cheerfulness though I didn’t experience anything negative directly from them. The gym overall lacks the fun & entertaining environment that a gym is supposed to have. There is always an uptight feeling prevalent at all times as if someone is going to yell at you.

Love this gym! It's my home away from home gym when I'm on business and leisure travel in Sarajevo. Equipment is good and everything spotless + you don't get the typical meatheads here, which is a very common occurrence at most Balkan gyms.

Love this place. Friendly staff. Well-equipped. Good protein shakes.

Great gym with modern equipments and views of the city and mountains. Friendly staff and clean environment.

Very nice place and excellent customer service.

The nicest, cleanest gym in town!

(Translated by Google) Gym clean neat locker room clean, workout room clean. The reception and bar staff are kind. The coaches are really nice to give you an explanation to give you advice on everything you ask for an explanation, whether they do PT. A wonderful experience on my first visit came in one training session and offered my help. You are wonderful to remain so Thanks for the wonderful messages I get with my dad every morning (Original) Gym cist uredan svlacionice ciste, prostor za vjezbanje cist. Osoblje recepcije i bara ljubazno. Treneri su zaista ljubazni tu su da ti objasne daju savjet za sve sto pitate objasne tu su bez obzira da li rade PT.

(Translated by Google) What year ago, YES, it was pretty good, although in my opinion, even then, most staff do not have any communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal. A big pity because the motivation of most trainers is noticed, but due to incompetent communication, everything falls into the background. Communication and access to other staff, I assume with the support of managers or owners, are in many situations very critical. (Original) Prije koju godinu DA, bilo je dosta dobro, iako po mom misljenju, i onda, vecina osoblja nema nikakvog znanja o komunikaciji, kako verbalnoj tako i neverbalnoj. Velika steta jer motivacija vecine trenera se primjeti ali zbog nekompetentne komunikacije, skroz pada u drugi plan. Komunikacija i pristup ostalog osoblja, predpostavljam uz podrsku menadzmenta ili vlasnika, u vise situacija veoma veoma kriticna.

The best in the city

(Translated by Google) This is definitely the most unpleasant experience. Pilates 60+ Absolutely Conducted Inaffective, Aggravated Ages, Out of Space, Unlimatized and Drowned, Trainer Uninvited and Incurable. It was a cas and never more. It was so terrible that I did not even think about going further, despite having missed my full moon payment. The people I communicated with my mail were extremely unkind, drastic. The only lights are girls at the reception desk. (Original) To je definitivno najneprijatnije iskustvo. Pilates 60+ apsolutno vodjen nestrucno, izmijesane starosne grupe, prostor izvan centra, neklimatiziran i skucen, trener neupucen i nestrucan. Bila jedan cas i nikad vise. Toliko je bilo uzasno, da nisam ni pomisljala ici dalje, bez obzira sto mi je propala uplata za cijelu mjesec. Osobe sa kojima sam mailom komunicirala izrazito neljubazne, drske. Jedina svijetla tacka su djevojke na recepciji.

Extra

No dumbbells heavier than 25 kg though...

+ 12 KM per day + Many trainings devices + Not crowded (was there from 8 to 10 am) + Clean changing room/showers + WiFi

Exceptionally clean and well equipped fitness center, great trainers and wide variety of group classes. Vitamine bar as an additional plus.

👌👌👍👍💪💪💪💪
