I started going to this beast because I decided that the world needed another action hero. Another…read moredude with massive muscles who hangs from helicopters with a machine gun and saves the day as explosions light up the sky. It's going pretty well so far. But let's talk about the gym. It's bigger than you'd expect, clean and bright, with loads of different things to do. There are classes if you like that kind of thing. There's a healthy food bar where you can shakes and other exotic items to nibble. There's no pool, I'm afraid, but there's a wide array of machines and space to indulge your sweaty needs. I did the 2-week trial and was sold almost immediately. It's located very conveniently, which basically means near the city center. It's crowded in the evening, predictably, but there are enough things to do that you won't notice very much. Definitely do a session with a personal trainer. Mine was very kind and said she would certainly ask for an autograph once I'm an action hero. I said, "Awesome." So it's a good gym. Closes much too early on the weekend, but pretty much everything does in Amsterdam, so I can't fault them for that.

I thought I reviewed this before...it's a high-end, better than average health club, "sports…read moreschool" in Jordaan, (Centrum) Amsterdam. It is in the belly of the beast indeed. 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.

Before I go ahead and talk a bit about Basic Fit in general, I'll mention what I like about this…read moregym specifically. IT'S 24/7 !!!!!!!!! Just kidding :) that's a lie. Actually, it's 24/4 (but 24/7 sounds so much better). So how does that work? They're open from Monday 8 AM through Friday 10:30 PM when they close for the first time in the week. Then they're open in the weekend from 9 to 4. Fair enough, right? This gym was recently renovated and fitted with lots of brand new black and orange Basic Fit equipment. They have rows of lots of cardio equipment and also plenty of heavy weight stuff for serious people. I was pleasantly surprised by this, although I'm still new to it all, I prefer working with loose weights. They have it all. In the early mornings and late evenings (after 10 PM) it's surprisingly busy! But everyone here, including, nay, especially, the big n' mean looking fellows are super nice and helpful. This is definitely not a gym with an arrogant culture so if you're shy, don't be and set you're worries aside if normal gym hours don't fit your schedule. Just come on over and get fit. If you're a member of the Basic Fit gyms, you're welcome at any of their gyms throughout the Netherlands! And we like that. There's only one membership, the all encompassing membership. They don't have silly things like saunas and fruitbars and bla bla bla. You don't go to the gym to make use of its cafe and have a smoothie while you read the paper at one of their tables! NO! You go there to get RIPPED.. or fit. Basic Fit gyms are without bells and whistles! You can pay the least by paying for the whole year upfront, or pay a tad more and do it monthly (automatic payments) with a one year contract, or pay even a bit more than that to pay monthly without a contract, at all. These are the only three options you have the rest is all-in. They even allow you to lend your card to someone else! As long as you're not working out together at the same time. One card per person at a time. You can, however, invite someone to workout at any Basic Fit for a day at no charge to either of you as an introduction.

Friendly staff & fun facility. Full weight room, cardio equipment & coffee. Not all members put…read moreweights back on racks & some tie up machines texting for five minutes, but other than that, it's a fab establishment & worth a dayrate if you travel.
