The masseur was extremely knowledgeable, and it was also nice because her technique wasn't so regimented and mechanical like I've seen at Thai massage places and others.

Being unfamiliar with the pool scene in Germany I didn't know what to expect here, and I made…read moreseveral mistakes. Note: wear a swimsuit for lap swim, no swimsuit for pretty much everything else. Downstairs there's an all-shallow outdoor pool and two indoor pools. One is for kids and is all shallow, the other is the "sport" pool and has a deep end. The sport pool also has a 1m and 3m diving board. I think you have to ask the lifeguard to use the diving boards. Upstairs there's lots of sitting areas to chill (inside and out), a place to get food and drinks, four different types of sauna (two dry hot, one wet, one aromatherapy), and an outdoor pool that's heated and has bubbles and submerged chaise lounges. These are all naked. Some of the sitting areas have heat lamps. Everyone had at least one towel, most people had towel, bathrobe, even a blanket. Some people brought books to read under sunlamps. When you arrive, tell the attendant at the desk if you just want to swim or if you want to go to the sauna (upstairs) too. The prices/times are on the website. Once you decide, you get a plastic bracelet and a plastic card. The card is for your locker. Inside the locker is a black box. Insert the card there and shut the door, hard, once all your stuff is inside. Then take the blue numbered lanyard that pops off the locker door. It has a buckle so you can tie it to your wrist, ankle, whatever. What to bring: swimsuit, goggles, cap, towel for drying off, towel for sitting on, bathrobe, SHOWER SHOES, shampoo/soap, something to read if you like, water bottle, cash to buy food/drinks, large bag big/waterproof enough for all your wet stuff when you head home. The showers didn't provide soap and while the water pressure is good the stream isn't as heavy as us long haired women need. There are several hair dryers available. Overall this was a very replenishing and relaxing cultural experience. I plan on going as many nights as possible.

Very good, nice pool just up the road from the end of the Reeperbahn. In fact one of the best pools…read morefor swimming I have been to. It has four pools, one boiling one with a waterslide, dinosaurs and little hideyholes for little ones to entertain themselves. Second pool is just for nice swimming, beautiful slate floor, clean water and no kids. Third pool is the sports pool, with high boards plus competitive lane swimming Fourth pool is outside, accessed conveniently via a covered hatch from pool 2 above, with lovely warm water even on the coldest day. Modern facilities, a cafe you can go in with your cossie on and about 11 euro for a family of four for 3 hours make this a great place for a family swim.

I've been working out at Meridian since 2006 when I moved to Hamburg. I've seen my share of gyms…read moreover the years and I have to admit, after working out at almost all of the Meridian locations, this one is most ghetto. Unfortunately, after changing jobs, the Wandsbek studio is the nearest to me. Hence I'm forced to go here if i want to get in lunchtime workouts. I prefer the Eppendorf studio as it seems to be the cleanest and City was quite good. I am sure the newer the studio, the better. Nevertheless, Wandsbek is getting on in years. Further, the crowd that works out there is not really high-end, if you know what I mean. You definitely have a different crowd in Eppendorf. One positive is that the ancient weight room in back is still great if you are really into lifting heavy weights. Although the stuff in that room is dated, it still remains far better than many of today's modern machines. You have a solid squat rack as well as shoulder press rack and the ability to go heavy. The locker rooms and showers are also getting older and it's downright ridiculous if you have a locker upstairs and have to go downstairs to shower and then back up. Total waste of time. The spa area is OK but not the best I've seen and if I ever want to hit the steam room or swim, I prefer Eppendorf. That's rare but again, somehow this location has lost its luster. If you can, make another gym your home base. If you're forced to work out here as there aren't that many options in the area, try to get away and hit the other studios when time allows.

After 15 years being a member of Meridan Spa Wandsbek its time to write my first and only report…read moreabout this facility: Its gettting worse over the time ! Nowadays its a place where mostly foreigners from southern europe or other non-german nationalities are the visitors, with all kinds of negative side effects for those who just want to do a work out. Anyway, this is probably the new trend in Germany anyhow, but in addition to that the customer service is lousy ! Most of the time Meridian Staff is present, but instead of inspecting training equipment they just walk around to show their presence and at complaints a reaction is not seen. I complained about the breach of Meridian Bylaws by some of these visitors, but ignorance is all I received as response. I tried over years to find out if there might be a reaction from the office staff, so when canceling my membership I thought to get a reaction - no reaction, Meridian is just pushing to get more new members of a specific kind instead of keeping customers. Talking to other long term members I heard the same complaints. Just because there was no better SPA around, me and my friends where forced to stay. Now its over and I strongly recommend anybody who wants to do sports: Look for any other Fitness studio elsewhere - unless you prefer a oriental flair. Paul J. wrote a review on 3/19/2013 and I fully agree to him: Meridian has become the most ghetto of all Meridians in the city of Hamburg !

The membership fees tend to be a bit higher than most gyms and look to attract a certain clientel. This one is attached to the Madison Hotel, yet it is not a part of the hotel, which I like. I live right around the corner so the location is optimal for me. Being a typical gym rat, I like the weights. I am not into wellness, aerobics or any of that. I want weights and I like to work out hard. I do use the wellness area at times which is a nice bonus but is not the main reason I am here. For the majority of the people though, this will be the main attraction as everything is clean, well organized and pleasant to the eye. The members are all pretty civil as well. You don't have the typical bodybuilder types in tight shorts and tank-tops. It's mostly a gym frequented by business types. They have everything you could need though so the offering is not lacking at all. My only complaint and hence the reason for only 4 stars is that the weights don't go high enough. This is of course more my problem as the weights should be sufficient for 99% percent of the people using the gym but I need dumbbells higher than 40 kilos. I of course understand though why a gym wouldn't need to have these and I can get around this problem using the barbells or machines. Further, the raisied the membership fee by 10 Euros a month after I joined so it's now even more expensive than when I started.
