Smelly gym with good equipment. I think a lot of the people that comes to the gym don't like using deodorant. The gym is clean and the equipment is nice just smelly! read more

The club announcements are in dutch. Even if your dutch is in progress (like mine) it can be unnerving to be left behind in fitness instruction. The equipment is good and the setup is good as well. Be prepared to be in the background of either locational/promotional filming of fitness bloggers, and other events that regularly take place.

I think it's more for people who can walk here. Downsides: Geen (no) towel service. - Locker room is stuff, no air and damp...greatly lacking in amenities. One little, nasty sink where people fill their water. The place needs some air! - Minimal bike parking. - the lockers have locks, but you need a 2-euro coin to get this bulky, non sanitary key chain to hang around your wrist? Really? Upsides; Facility is big. Has a sauna, steam room (co-ed) and the staff is nice. Nice eGym (extra cost) Music is not too loud. A great gym...wish it was a little cheaper and they had a better locker room.
In the center of the historic area!

This is a very nice, clean facility in central Amsterdam, literally right next door to Rembrandt's…read moreHouse. Lots of nice, newer equipment -machines more so than free weights. It was convenient to get a day pass (14.50 Euros) while visiting. The only thing I found baffling was the lack of a water dispenser of any kind- not even a drinking fountain- which is strange because the tap water is very good in the city. I guess they just want to sell bottled water, but free hydration should be standard at any gym.

Really nice, unique gym in the centre of Amsterdam, located in an old building. Therefore the place…read morehas lots of atmosphere, it doesn't feel like one of those factory gyms, even though it's big. They really have great equipment which they keep improving and upgrading. I love that they have a free day care centre so I can bring the little one there and work out myself. Other services like physiotherapy and a dietitian are available as well.
Not safe for girls. Reported to police and probably soon they will be sued…read more Background: A while back I caught one of the personal trainers spying on me while showering (dressing rooms are connected). I kept it under the radar since I did not know how to prove it. I did stop changing at the gym for my own safety. Now weeks passed by and I have heard and collected similar complaints from 7 other women. We reported it to the police and are currently in the process of finding the best lawyer to escalate this case in court. In the mean time I would suggest people to not sign up at this gym. The gym is complicit in this, since the guy is listed on their website and on top of that they are responsible for the horrible layout of the dressing rooms as well.
I would give minus stars if possible! Ironic that the gym is…read morecalled Great, since the services I have received from the MANAGEMENT are the worst and unprofessional! ***Do not make a membership under this management*** You do not want to get stuck with a membership with them as they provide different service from the ones promised! The gym was closed while I have got a registration of my spot! That is very frustrating, and you keep on being frustrated with things like this.I hope this change as already many of us are quiting the gym!
Great Fitnes just opened a half year ago and this one is in Amsterdam one of the luxury gyms I have…read moreever seen.... I have read a 'sporty' blogger which says the following 'they have gym equipment which belongs to the 'ferrari' group :) this says enough that they really have a high end equipment. Think of every cardio a tablet in front of you where you can Skype/ Facebook/ YouTube/ check the weather and even use a simulator where you far example running or cycling over the Golden Gate bridge! Furthermore you can get a TechnoGym key to measure all your gym activities and download all these information all from the Cloud! It is really very clean and they have a glass ceiling which make the gym very open. They have great music playing through their Bose boxes, so my iPhone was this time not needed even! Next to this they have 5 different sauna's. I have tried the infrared sauna, which I have never tried it in my life.... it was a good experience though! :) They have electric lockers - so no coins or keys needed! Only thing is that they have a number on your lockers, so you need to memorize where you have put your stuff. Also they have great showers, a big drench shower to relax after the gym & sauna! Minus point is in my opinion of course the prices to be member of this luxury gym. You need to pay around 80 euro's per month, but you will get all these luxury in return. Another thing is that they do not have that many group classes. ps. they even serve SLA food for dinner and have great protein shakes!

The only reason I got a membership at this gym is that at the time (haven't checked recently) it…read morewas by far the cheapest with the best equipment. Gym memberships running up to 100+ Euro are madness to me. This price point is precisely, of course, the gym's weakness. The men's locker room lacks ventilation to such a degree that I often find it impossible to breath the first minutes after I arrive. I try to get in and out of the locker room as quickly as possible. Shower at home. The gym area itself is spacious and I can't think of any piece of equipment that I would want them to add. Also the equipment is in good condition. There are a few distinct area's. Running mills looking out over the Amsterdam Ringroad (the building bridges the Ringroad A10), free weights, stationary bikes area and resistance machines area. For the price I think the actual gym area is good value. Fortunately I have the luxury of going at any time of the day so over the course of three years I have found my 'sweet spot' when it's not too early for me and the first rush hour of the gym has already finished so it's not at all busy and I have an hour to do my stuff before the next rush starts. The members range from 'just out of prison' to students, from young to old, fat to thin and super fit. It's also a cross section of the population of the surrounding neighbourhood(s). If they would manage to get the locker room situation solved, I would give this gym a much higher rating.
6 'spinning' bikes. Also 6 regular stationary bikes and elliptical cross trainers available in addition to the running mills.
View from the running mills. Watching the traffic pass underneath the building.
The obligatory pic of the dumbbells. Only two or three times a day you'll find them sorted.

One of the best pilates studios that I've been to (compared to NYC and LA). They have group mat and…read morespringboard classes and a series of equipment classes. From what I've seen the mat classes can get crowded but never seems to be more than 15 in the class. The springboard classes are a bit smaller. And the equipment series is limited to 6. And of course they offer private lessons. The teachers are terrific, attentive and really know their stuff. The studio gets lots of light and the equipment is all new with an excellent variety: springboard, cadillac, reformers, chairs, barrels, etc. Highly recommend it. Here's a tip: Sign up with one of the newly trained teachers for a private lessons and they may be available for free or a discounted cost. Definitely worth the ask!
Since I do Pilates 3-4 times a week, I did not want to skip a workout due to my holiday. I found…read morethis studio online and was so glad I did. After some correspondence, Jelena referred me to one of her instructors for 2 private lessons. The studio is very easy to locate and well worth your time to visit. This studio contains all the equipment you could possibly need for your workout, and the staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and so very personable. There was a group class going on as well as two trainers doing private lessons when I was there. However, there was no crowding or additional noise. My outstanding instructor was Jeffrey Ross who gave me an excellent work out, as we worked on my posture, body positioning, breathing and technique. Please, do not miss a work out because you are traveling, contact Jelena and she will help you coordinate you with a class or trainer.
Cadillac. One of the equipment options.
