Expensive for its size, lack of equipment, and poor choice of equipment they do have. No squat rack for anyone serious about strength & whole body fitness. Instead they only have a smith machine. A *single* barbell and sufficient free weights to do some decent deadlifting but lack of bumper plates prevents any Oly movements. Then again the people running the place don't have a clue, so you'd probably be fine doing them with their standard plates and nobody would think twice, as long as the place isn't crowded. Unfortunately it's the only gym I could find within easy walking distance of Karakoy which is where I'm staying for a month. Still contemplating making the trek out to one of the crossfit gyms on the fringes of the city. read more

At first I thought this place was really small (which it is) so I wasn't going to go, but then I realized this city has few options. I went and even got a 3 month membership. It's an OK gym, but the selection of machines and weights are pathetic. It's also a bit dirty. But, whatever, it has more or less what I need, opens at 7 am, and has a sauna. I was willing to overlook all of its issues until the owner randomly decided to PERMANENTLY remove the machines that allow for barbell bench press and squats. The reason? Because some people complained that it caused too much noise... What a pathetic excuse for a gym. Never going here again. read more
