Just spent a few days in Florence and got a 3 day pass for the gym ($35 Euro.) My husband and I are…read morepicky about gyms and workout 6-7 days per week (going on vacation doesn't mean going on vacation from the gym for us...) This place is perfectly located (only a 5 min or so walk from the train station) and has everything one would to get in a good workout. If I lived in Florence, I could definitely see this place being my "home" gym. The guy at the front desk was super friendly and accommodating to our English/Spanish speaking with the little bit of Italian we know. *Quick tip: Don't forget to bring your own towel. :)

I was at this gym for 7 weeks. It's centrally located. €90/month which seems to be the norm for…read moregyms in Florence unless you venture out to the periphery ( Kokoakan €55/ month last year). This gym is super small. So small that putting plates on the military press Hammer strength type machine is a contortionist move. They only have one preacher bench, and one curl bar but s variety of other machines. A small room with dumbbells and four adjustable benches, a smiths machine, a squat rack, one incline and two regular benches. Several treadmills, three stationary bikes sardined into a small space. Obviously no pool, or sauna, juice bar etc. They have change rooms, clean showers lockers. Bring your own lock, towel etc. Overall a good place to work out and away from home and maintain. I never found it super crowded. Front desk people speak English and are friendly enough. The gym is mostly full of locals and some international university exchange students. No meat heads benching four plates.

Ok, def. nicer than Swan - though slightly more expensive (just paid 135€ for two months at Swan;…read moreRicciardi = 158€ *plus* registration and assorted fees). Ricciardi feels far less cramped, cleaner, and friendlier--and has longer hours! On the other hand, Ricciardi also seems much more finicky: have to bring a photo for the card, and one is expected to bring a separate pair of "clean" gym shoes ?!? (not sure how rigorously that is enforced). No good bike parking in the immediate vicinity.

The plates are so old you can't see what weight they are. There's no clips for the ends of the bars. The floor is wooden, and dented and chipped. The cardio machines are erratic at best. The space is massive, and there's tons of equipment, but it's all old, and tatty, it's badly laid out, and half of it doesn't work properly. Besides this, it is massively oversubscribed by American students, so you need to time your visit, because if you go between 6pm - 8pm there will be so many people there won't be any space for you to work out. And when I went in April, and it was 27 degrees outside, the owner said it was too early in the year to put the air con on. Unfortunately, when it's that hot, opening the windows doesn't make it any more comfortable - but I got the impression that keeping her customers comfortable was not her priority.

There are more choreographic and challenging classes than at all the other gyms in Florence, which is what motivated my choice. Membership levels are flexible, so if you know what you want (ie. pool or not, certain types of classes, access times etc), you can get a price that is tailored to your exact needs. There are periodic specials that keep the prices down even more. The gym area itself tends on the stinky and humid, and the bathrooms are clean but again very humid, however the atmosphere and people are great!
