John Harris is a popular gym studio with international guests BUT there is a sculpture in the…read moreentrance: probably it's a Chinese man-figure who bending himself, like a slave (!) The intention of placing that ugly prop to the entrance must be: to give a warm welcoming gesture to the customers but for my opinion it is a politically seen highly problematic prop. That is a gym, in Austria/Vienna, which is operated by Austrians, its not a restaurant own by Chinese people. There is indeed no meaning to place this ugly prop in the entrance. If they like to they could put there a traditional Austrian man prop wearing dirndl welcoming the gym guests! (I would even find that one problematic: which century are we living in please?) So: Why a Chinese man? Are we in China? Secondly I must say at the gym, fitness machines are not very good, I can tell since I am someone with an extremely busy travel schedule and have been working out in diverse studios on this planet in the recent years, so I think for this price the quality could be a bit better though... And some music in the dressing room wouldn't definitely harm. Lastly at the studio the trainers are quite friendly but there is a woman at the desk with red hair, who is extremely unfriendly, she even doesn't look in your eyes while talking, she never smiles. There are enough unfriendly people living in this city, indeed some more unfriendliness is not necessary at all especially at the gym where you pay for.

Maybe it used to be a good place, but not anymore. After 6 months membership, I would say the…read moreoverall experience leaves a lot to desire. The customer relationship is appalling, considering the price segment and the self-proclaimed "exclusive/luxury" gym. Beware of everything that you discuss with the sales manager, Alexander Pazourek, you might be in for a lot of surprises after you sign the contract. The spinning courses are limited, and the only way to reserve a place is to come in more than 30 minutes early to put a towel on your bike. The schedule of the gym is for weekend days until 9, but you must go to lockers area 30 in advance, so 8 30 the latest. Instructors there are like overzealous policemen. They will come at 8 30 sharp to tell you that it's time to go to the locker. The only other time I was approached by an instructor was to ask me if I have a towel while I was running on the treadmill, and after showing it to her she just said "Oh, I did not see it because it was black". On the good side, go there if you want to make use of their 25m pool as it is big, clean and there are only few people.

The Fitinn in the 5th district is located just off Wiedner Hauptstraße and is easily accessible via…read moretram or bus. The mixed gym has a good number of machines although sometimes you have to wait for a treadmill or cross trainer during peak time. Changing rooms with lockers (bring your own lock or hire one at the front desk) and showers. Women's gym is accessible via women's changing room. It is quite small and could do with being a bit bigger so it could have more machines but on the whole it is ok. This Fitinn also has a solarium in it which you can include in your monthly subscription. Gym only membership is 19.90 a month and is definitely worth it in my opinion (if you pay extra you can also access any Fitinn in Vienna, again worth it if you work/live in different areas!)

This is my gym. I know the staff hate it, but I love how…read moreit's open every day at 6am. They have cardio equipment and weight training equipment and a separate ladies workout room. They have tanning beds (solarium) which you can use for 1 Euro each time you need a little more golden bronze in your life. You can also use the lockers (so bring a lock, or you can rent one from the front desk) and you can use the showers at the price of 1 Euro per minute of showering (I believe). Also. You have to bring separate shoes. Let me explain this because I wasn't very clear on it and when I (unknowingly) wasn't abiding by the rules, the red-headed meanie working the front desk put my membership on hold to verify I had separate gym shoes. So when you walk around in regular shoes in Vienna you step in gross crap (dog feces, urine, etc), just nasty stuff. So this gym requires that you walk around in the gross outside wearing shoes #1 and when you come in (you can either sit at the table or go to the locker room) and put on shoes #2 and then you can use the machines. So. Just be clear on that. When I signed up, I thought they were telling me don't wear flip flops, wear gym shoes, but noooo they want different cleaner, specifically for the gym, gym shoes. Hope that helps someone out there avoid having the red-headed meanie put your account on hold.

I had a great week working out here!…read more I'm giving this gym 5 starts because as it a tourist it's often hard to find a fully equipped clean gym that allows for daily or weekly passes. The website suggests to sign up online, but I couldn't pay without a Austrian bank account. However, when I walked in it was a hassle free sign up, and the front desk staff are very lovely. Not all the staff spoke English but it didn't matter since it was very simple. They give you a pass, and each time I traded it for a entrance band and a lock. (So you don't need to bring your own lock - they also sell locks.) The gym itself has everything you need. It was never too busy (I went various times throughout the day.) There is a weightlifting area, cardio area with various treadmills, bikes, rowers, etc, and a functional open concept area. There are also 2 studios for classes. There are 2 squat racks, and conveniently also some Olympic lifting plates and pads. The gym is very clean, and make sure you bring a towel with you to cleanup your sweat. It also incredibly bright filled with natural light. I believe there is a sauna but I didn't use it while I was there.

The coach see you just as a wallet and don't give you any good advices, everybody look at you like a stranger, like something you doesn't want. The program for student is just crap and this is really expensive and more important...they chase you until you paid for one year (yes I said one year, but in my contract that's only 6 months, because they just want your money and after they do not care !) So my advice : NEVER in this sport place, you will lose your money not your weight !
