Pretty solid gym, but I found it lacking in a few different aspects, namely…read more - Lack of a board with led lights (moon, kilter, etc.), although the steep 'chaos board' was nice. - Somewhat lacking in steep & crimpy problems that simulate outdoor bouldering. Maybe it just happened to be lacking in those types of routes during my visit. Lots of interesting comp-style routes were available though. Sadly that's just not my style. - I found it a bit expensive. Shoe rental + entrance was around 19 euros. Although maybe that's a normal price in German standards.

Longtime gym climber here. Travel a lot for work. So... I have sampled a few dozen climbing gyms…read morearound the world. This review is based on one visit on a wednesday evening in June 2017. Boulderwelt is awesome. Huge space-- probably the largest bouldering space I have seen anywhere. There are so many walls. The routes are not even jammed into the space, and the gym still felt like there was plenty of room, not crowded at all. The most distinctive thing about the gym was the route setting. Routes here uniformly reward patience and balance and slow-twitch technical skill. There are not so many dynos or superhero moves like my local gym. It took me half the session but once I got used to the style and knew what to expect, I started flashing half the routes I tried. Overall I really enjoyed climbing here. -1 star for a couple of things... it's 90 minutes walk from the center city, and 15 minutes walk from the nearest train station. It's worth the trip, but it is a long trip. Also, the walls and holds are very rough; they need sanding; wear long sleeves and long pants or else be prepared to leave some skin on the wall. And as big as the gym is, there was only one staff member handling the desk. He did his best but the place seemed understaffed to me. Will definitely return next time I am in frankfurt. Thank you Boulderwelt!

So the clinic my gf attended while we were in Frankfurt had a hook-up for us to use Fitness First…read morePlatinum just around the corner. I was able to make it a few times to work out, and enjoy the amenities. It is a large club with a big 4-lane pool, a separate yoga/classes room, squash courts, a HIIT workout floor, a separate weights and cardio area, plus sauna/steam rooms shared between the mens and womens locker areas. NOTE: The sauna/steam and wellness area is COED!! Unlike American gyms which usually have separate facilities (since people like to sauna and steam butt-ass nekkid). Here in Europe you'll find butt nekkid folks sharing space, like God intended...I'm just not 100% sure I was prepared on my second time at the gym for a few husky older German women to join me in the shower. But oh well, I have a story for the grand kids someday and God made us all...so there. I used the weight floors, and took advantage of the training floor downstairs. The had nice equipment, most of the employees spoke enough English for me to get around okay, the men's locker room was nice with hair dryers and all kinds of stuff, and there's a small café upstairs to get a protein shake when done. All in all a pretty good gym experience.

I am had a contract with Ff for one year and i am very dissapointed. The studio sounds great at…read morefirst but actually the it was almost always full, the air condition is too strong and it is very likely to get sick out of it (especially in the room where the courses take place). Also, in the studios as well as in the changing rooms a smell of strong, swet deaodorant is so strong that it is hard to breath. The hygienic aspect of the showers and swimming pool i am leaving with no comment - take care of your skin there! Additionally, (the most important) the personal service is not any helpful and absolutely not customer friendly oriented. Be careful what you sigh and always ask (and re- ask) for confirmations in written. The contact with FF is very hard- they never answer.
