Gym

😠 They club is basically ok, but there are thefts in lockers. My money were stolen several times from my wallet that was deep in my backpack inside the locked locker in the change room. I went to the reception, but they just told me that they don't have cameras and I should go to police. That's really... People often mention machines, basic, good, staff, room, bien, pour, time, sont, people,

    Avoid at all cost. Very small gym, fully pack with people no matter what time you go, showers only have one button, you press it and the water will come out boiling or freezing cold and super strong pressure. It says 24h/7, but they close the changing rooms and showers whenever they feel like it, then it's not 24h?!?!? if you go and can't even put your bag in the changing room. Last but not least be careful, they tell you with the flexi plan you can cancel anytime but then they tell you the dates you will stop paying, meaning you'll cancel and they will still charge you. What an awful gym!

    They club is basically ok, but there are thefts in lockers. My money were stolen several times from my wallet that was deep in my backpack inside the locked locker in the change room. I went to the reception, but they just told me that they don't have cameras and I should go to police. That's really embarrassing. Moreover the reviews of other clubs tell that there are thefts there as well. Looks like it's really common practice, probably the club administration is involved in these crimes as well. NEVER bring a wallet to the club with you.

    Advertising 24/7 opening hours and keeping changing rooms and showers closed outside the usual opening hours is kind of a joke...

    Avoid this gym at all cost. It is not worth of any money. The water under the showers is constantly cold, the scale hasn't been working for weeks, the toilet is closed because it can't be fixed since months, not mentioning the mildew on the walls. The staff say there is nothing they can do. I have never experienced such a low service my entire life.

    (Translated by Google) The machines are in a dirty state, some are downright broken and that for months, see years. I wrote to basic fit 2 years ago already on the dysfunctional state of their rowers. They are always there, totally useless because without resistance. Their home trainers: 1 out of 2 does not work. Some cut when you pedal less quickly (it's especially good to lose the progress of his training), others do not even light up. And then the pedal for the arms, there are 2. For the first, the frame is no longer fixed and but moves, which makes it impossible to focus on his training. For the second, the resistance system is broken. I use these 3 machines often and now that it reaches, for some time already, a lamentable state, I can say that 20 euros is too expensive for this service. You know like me that basic fit is not short of money. Foutage mouth and I prefer to pay 40 euros per month elsewhere for new and functional machines, WHAT IS THE MINIMUM! What is happening at the management level of this establishment? (Original) Les machines sont dans un sale état, certaines sont carrément cassées et cela depuis des mois, voir des années. J'avais écris à basic fit il y a 2 ans déjà sur l'état dysfonctionnel de leur rameurs. Ils y sont toujours, totalement inutiles car sans résistance. Leurs home traineurs : 1 sur 2 ne fonctionne pas. Certains se coupent dès qu'on pédale moins vite (c'est surtout bien pour perdre le progression de son entraînement), d'autres ne s'allument même pas. Et puis le pédaleur pour les bras, il y en à 2. Pour le premier, le cadre n'est plus fixe et mais bouge, ce qui rend impossible de se concentrer sur son entraînement. Pour le deuxième, le système de résistance est cassé. J'utilise ces 3 machines souvent et maintenant qu'elle atteignent, depuis un certains temps déjà, un état lamentable, je peux dire que 20 euros c'est trop cher pour ce service. Vous savez comme moi que basic fit ne manque pas d'argent. Du foutage de gueule et je préfère payer 40 euros par mois ailleurs pour des machines nouvelles et fonctionnelles, CE QUI EST LE MINIMUM! Qu'est-ce qui se passe au niveau du management de cet établissement?

    They do incredibly loud works during opening hours without even warning members. Disrespectful and unprofessional. Dirty and non existant personnel. Run.

    Nearly 10 people with reserved time slots , all waiting in front of a closed gym. No communication whatsoever (as usual), and can't call anyone (as usual).

    (Translated by Google) the premises are of such a state that the room has been cut off. it would be time to renovate this room. Especially when you know that basic made an astronomical turnover compared to private rooms in Belgium and that it is better maintained! (Original) les lieux sont d'un tel état que la salle a subit une coupure de courant. il serait temps de rénové cette salle. Surtout lorsque l' on sait que basic fit à un chiffre d'affaire astronomique comparé aux salles privés de Belgique et que celle-ci sont mieux entretenues !

    (Translated by Google) A dirty and poorly maintained place, machines that stay down for months. In addition to poor ventilation, it is difficult to breathe. Dumbbells thrown on the floor. No papers to wipe machines. (Original) Un endroit Sale et mal entretenu, machines qui restent en panne pendant des mois. Mal aéré en plus, on a du mal à respirer. Haltères jetés par terre. Pas de papiers pour essuyer les machines.

    (Translated by Google) To escape urgently! The worst room I have ever seen: dirty, disrespectful staff, bad atmosphere, double bills on my account, short horror. I arrived with two friends, we wanted to register DONC give them money, the three: we first asked to visit the room, normal what ... the two guys at the reception have looked in sighing in fashion who is going to go, and one of them said "well, I can go there" with a nonchalance, in short a horror. (Original) A fuir de toute urgence! La pire salle que j'ai jamais vu : sale, personnel irrespectueux, ambiance déplorable, doubles prélèvements sur mon compte, bref l'horreur. Je suis arrivée avec deux amies, on voulait s'inscrire DONC leur donner de l'argent, les trois : on a d'abord demandé à visiter la salle, normal quoi... les deux mecs à l'accueil se sont regardés en soupirant en mode qui est ce qui va y aller, et un des deux a dit "bon ben jvais y aller" avec une nonchalance, bref une horreur.

    No A/C even during summer, the heat and smell is unbearable! Some machines are broken (buttons, noisy....) for months now. Good point is the opening hours allowing to have late or best early training.

    Most of the men's bathrooms have been out of order for a long time and the one in use, you hope that there's paper. Weights out of place for almost a year now, and wifi goes down frequently.

Congratulations to you and thank you again for the bottle! 😉 (Original) Une super salle propre ni trop grande ni trop petite, bien située, des machines en bon état les douches sont implacables et surtout les gens a la réception sont vraiment tops !

    Large, well equipped gym open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Big cardio area with treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers and rowing machines. Two well set up squat racks and a third smaller rack, free weights and the usual machines. Changing rooms are open from 6am to 10pm Monday to friday, 9am to 3:30pm saturday and Sunday. Toilets and lockers available to use outside of those hours. Vending machines sell drinks and protein bars but also headphones, towels, gym shirts etc. Other than taps in the bathrooms, there are no free water stations. Yanga branded sports drink station is available for subscription. I've knocked one star off as the gym is not always as tidy as it could be with weights left out and bottles and rubbish left around. Otherwise a good and also cheap gym. If you join, you can use basic fit elsewhere in Spain or the Netherlands. NB: there is a 24/7 intercom service if you need assistance when there's no attendant on duty.

    Perhaps the nicest basic fit. The rest might inspire certain laziness. This one inspires robustness. + Machines get fixed faster, than the rest of the BF for some reason

    Decent gym, price, and the staff here are great. But I was really upset with the corporate office and how they misrepresented their flex membership cancellation policy. On the website it said only 2 weeks notice by email was necessary. Going off of that, I cancelled my membership 3 weeks in advance. But, in the fine print of contract, it said must cancel a month in advance. They said I was still responsible for the next month fee. Customer service as horrible and not helpful. Basically actively try to screw you out of a months membership.

    Great value for money. As a former Olympic athlete I have seen many gyms over the years. Basic Fit Avenue Louise offers all you really need for a very low price. A special compliment to the club's manager Flaviu Sarbu (and his team) whose attitude and expert knowledge as a former weight lifter is second to none and extremely valuable. In other words this club offers a great atmosphere, lots of space and a wide variety of free weights (even up to 50kg dumbbells) and supportive staff! This is absolutely my favourite gym in Belgium! Chapeau guys!

    You people are doing good job, by my problem is bathing system. Sometimes the water flows very hot and stop in 30sec unless you wait about 2mns before it start flowing again. In fact it's very complicated when it comes to that

  • 3/5 Peter K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Room on one level and rather well illuminated. The facilities are numerous. During rush hour, there is often a lack of paper and liquid to clean. Some machines have been out of use regularly, including one machine (bench press) for two months! Info for women: If you want to hire a personal trainer, take your time so that you don't choose the one that is very "tactile". You will see it fairly quickly. Unless that suits you of course :-) (Original) Salle sur un niveau et plutôt bien illuminée. Les installations sont nombreuses. Aux heure de pointe, il manque souvent de papier et de liquide pour nettoyer. Certaines machines sont hors d'usage régulièrement, dont une machine (bench press) depuis deux mois ! Une info pour les femmes : Si vous désirez prendre les services d'un coach personnel, prenez votre temps afin de ne pas choisir celui qui est très "tactile". Vous l'apercevrez assez rapidement. A moins que cela vous convienne bien sûr :-)

    It’s basic fit more like basic $*** . Nothing special, super crowded, front staff ??? don’t know if they don’t care or don’t work, locker rooms and bathrooms are disgusting literal fecal matter on the walls…, equipment is varied, not so bad, good location that’s about all it has going for it. If you just wanna go get a workout for cheap this is the place. If you actually care about the place etc, you’d likely never pick this one. Ah and the classes here are good though believe it or not…

  • 1/5 Gabriel K. 5 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    I hate going to the gym, but I have no option near my house, it's extremely hot inside the gym, so I always kindly ask them to turn on the air conditioning when it's cold, but I think they hate that, and go there and turn it up more the hot air, and apart from the bad smell of the gym, people already smell very bad because they are enemies of deodorant, and they turn the air on at 40 degrees they want to kill with the heat and the bad smell

  • 2/5 Alexander 5 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Very messy, the equipment are weird. If you're into body calisthenics, this is not the place for you.

  • 5/5 Gonzalo Antonio Olmedo D. 11 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Great gym and perfect location. Open 24/7 even on holidays. I would recommend to go between 11:00 to 14:00. Otherwise it can get crowded and you would be waiting for the squat rack. The gym has all basic equipment but certain fringe machines are missing, there's no lat pullover machine or glutes machine. Also, it has aerobics classes for those who are interested. Is an all rounder.

  • 2/5 Norian L. 4 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Most of the machines was full of paper or drinks that people forgot, the water when showering is freezing cold. Not really clean and the employees are not even there. Worst basic-fit i went too. (Not even a good morning).

    (Translated by Google) Very nice as a room if you want to be quiet, often few people. The only downside is that there are very few machines in order to work mainly on the back and I think we should add all the equipment to do squats. (The frame with the squat bar so you can put it down and pick it up easily between sets!) (Original) Très sympa comme salle si l'on a envie d'être tranquille, souventnpeu de monde. Seuls bémol très peu de machine afin de travailler essentiellement le dos et je pense qu'il faudrait rajouter tout le dispositif pour faire des squats. (Le cadre avec la barre de squat afin de pouvoir la poser et la reprendre facilement entre les séries !)

    (Translated by Google) It's a good gym. The shop assistants help a lot and are very nice. The machines work and there are weights of all types and sizes. Although in general the weights and the material are not usually in place but that is not the fault of the staff, but of the people. They also have a Yanga water machine at the entrance, stair machines, assisted pull-ups, rowing, treadmills ... (Original) Es un buen gimnasio. Los dependientes ayudan mucho y son muy agradables. Las máquinas funcionan y hay pesos de todo tipo y tamaño. Aunque en general los pesos y el material no suelen estar en su sitio pero eso no es culpa del personal, sino de la gente.

    For the price and especially convenience. It’s never too crowded (or empty/creepy), the equipment is in good shape. 24 hour access. I do wish they had better airflow inside, I’m usually too warm and the air is a little stale. But can’t believe the complainers downvoting them, it’s great and so easy to access and use.

    (Translated by Google) So, how to describe this place called "gym". The staff are bad. The trainee, the day of my registration was much more professional and pleasant than the pseudo sports at the reception (well if there is reception). No communication at the level of the gxr live group lessons: first day of testing and the coach is sick but does not warn anyone, very well, I came back the next day. Second day of trial, the "lady" at the reception pays no attention to my little badge problem which does not pass and therefore makes me sit for 10 minutes in front of the turnstile. Which has the effect of making me miss, for lack of space (which they miss once again to prevent), my long-awaited session of collective court !!! I remind you that I pay extra. In summary, if you like to be disappointed and waste your time, this room will make you happy. (Original) Alors, comment décrire cet endroit qualifié de "salle de sport". Le personnel est mauvais. Le stagiaire, le jour de mon inscription était bien plus professionnel et agréable que les pseudo sportif a l'accueil (enfin si accueil il y a). Aucune communication au niveau des cours collectif gxr live : premier jour d'essai et monsieur le coach est malade mais ne prévient personne, très bien, je suis revenue le lendemain. Deuxième jour d'essai, la "dame" à l'accueil ne prête aucune attention à mon petit problème de badge qui ne passe pas et donc me fait poiroter pendant bien 10 minutes devant le tourniquet. Ce qui à pour effet de me faire rater, faute de place (ce qu'ils manquent encore une fois de prévenir), ma séance tant attendu de cour collectif !!! Je vous rappel que je paie un supplément. En résumé, si vous aimez être déçu et perdre votre temps, cette salle fera votre bonheur.
