The only reason I got a membership at this gym is that at the time (haven't checked recently) it was 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. read more
