About 11 months I went up to the counter at Reebok Crossfit and informed the owner that i no longer…read morewanted to train at Reebok CrossFit 020 as my fitness goals had changed and I wanted to follow my own program. After belittling me, he proceeded to hand me a small piece of paper and got me to sign it and then said I was good to go. Of course he failed to translate of the dutch writing on the paper and did not inform me of ANY details. What I did not know was that instead of cancelling it, he "froze" my account. That he did by writing the word "frozen" on that same piece of paper which again, I was not aware of! However, what happened after that is what shocked me. I came to find out (10 MONTHS LATER) that this gym had been taking 25 euro per month out of my account for 10 months straight. When I contacted them I was told that this is because the account was frozen. Given that I am a student and therefore financially limited, I would have never agreed to pay for a service that I was not even using. Thus, i contacted them via e-mail and they essentially said that there was nothing they could do other than offer me a voucher. Why would I ever want to come back? I didn't back then and I do not now. You did not inform me about taking money out of my account, I did not authorize this action and therefor YOU STOLE FROM ME. I will not drop this case until I get my 250 Euro back!!!!!!!!!

SportsWorld! Party time! Excellent!…read more Well, what a gym. To begin with it's built inside a beautiful old milk factory, with original bolsters, bricks and beams. On the ground floor, you enter what appears to be a restaurant. Honestly, I get the impression that people come there for a bite or a drink whether or not they are a member of the club, really tastefully done, but ions away from the juice bar counter in my gym of yore. The staff is extremely friendly, no pushy salespeople to worry about. There is a big, clean, spacious changing room digital code locking lockers, a tanning bed (if that's your bag) and a sauna. I'm really into the idea of the steam bathing and sauna-ing. I was prepared for the fact that this is Europe and it will probs be fully nude. I was ready. However, I got a bit nervous when I saw it was co-ed. I didn't know which door led to what and in brief, I lost the courage to prance around poking my head in strange places. No matter, I'm going to ask for a floorplan and a code of etiquette. Wink. One floor up there is a squash (court?), a spin room, a general workout room and a special, slightly warmed very zen yoga room. (TOOOOONS of classes). Up top you have cardio galore and weights. I believe you get a free introductory training session, as well as periodic check ins to see how you've progressed and to keep you motivated. Oh and they're open til midnight. I'm writing this as I procrastinate to get in there tonight. But I signed up for my week trial, and had zero hesitation about becoming a member, after day 1. Let's hope I have an update for you in three months with pics my new bangin bod and my ghetto booty. Wink. (Have you ever googled "Squats before and after"?)

Very nice gym with sauna, squash clean showers and friendly staff. Group lessons for all kinds of…read moresports (included in membership at 55 eur per month) and a restaurant/cafe for breakfast lunch and diner (healthy green food and juices). The gym is located in a century old former energy plant and later milk factory.

Really nice, unique gym in the centre of Amsterdam, located in an old building. Therefore the place…read morehas lots of atmosphere, it doesn't feel like one of those factory gyms, even though it's big. They really have great equipment which they keep improving and upgrading. I love that they have a free day care centre so I can bring the little one there and work out myself. Other services like physiotherapy and a dietitian are available as well.

Not safe for girls. Reported to police and probably soon they will be sued…read more Background: A while back I caught one of the personal trainers spying on me while showering (dressing rooms are connected). I kept it under the radar since I did not know how to prove it. I did stop changing at the gym for my own safety. Now weeks passed by and I have heard and collected similar complaints from 7 other women. We reported it to the police and are currently in the process of finding the best lawyer to escalate this case in court. In the mean time I would suggest people to not sign up at this gym. The gym is complicit in this, since the guy is listed on their website and on top of that they are responsible for the horrible layout of the dressing rooms as well.
