Reviews
I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here for a couple of months and really enjoy it. The coach is knowledgeable and dedicated, ensuring everyone gets the attention they need to improve. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned practitioner, you'll find a supportive community here. Plus, the class schedule is convenient for busy office workers, making it easier to commit to regular training sessions. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to learn and grow in BJJ.
Not enough plates. Half of the workout spent looking for plates.
Everyone running around taking each other's plates.
The rest is fine. I like the variety of machines.

I really like this gym and the atmosphere that coaches and gymgoers alike contribute to create. The brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) classes are especially great!
Went to this gym for about a year and did the strength and conditioning classes. Very good trainers, but I especially want to give a high recommendation to personal trainer Wesley (which to whom the 5 stars are for). While I stopped my membership, I continued personal training with Wesley. He is not only a very knowledgeable trainer who is very passionate about (strength and power lift) training and pushes you to do your best, but he’s also a genuine person with a big heart and good sense of humor. If you don’t want to join the gym but still want to get fit, I highly recommend hiring Wesley as your trainer. :)
Amazing gym and atmosphere! Coaches are very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Top notch kickboxing and BJJ programmes, and they keep on getting better!
Great team and people. Also, they offer a variety of classes including an excellent BJJ/juijitsu class for all levels.
Good vibes at their new Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) classes when Thomas is teaching!
Cheap club with cheap service.
Since it turned into a Sportcity club from a Fit-for-Free one, they put a lot of effort into improving the look of the gym and none in buying better equipment or offering better service.
The mats are gross and dirty, the classes are overfilled (there aren't even enough balls or weights for everyone attending).
When an instructor is absent, they often forget to remove the class from the app, so everyone shows up and there is nothing to do but watch a random video on the TV and exercise to that, while the personnel at the entrance is clueless and shows zero interests in supporting the clients.
The only positive note is the price and that some of the instructors are competent and nice.

Bad ventilation. Very old rustic weight equipments. Would rather go to Rai
Nice gym, friendly and fair trainers. Great for beginners and intermediate skill. Keep in mind that gym part of the whole building is rather small, without really many machines so dont treat it like a fitness, but more as a supplementary to your fighting classes.
Also, if someone at eastbound is reading this, give Alex more lessons, we had him today and he was really professional and explained things well.

De leukste box van Amsterdam! Down to earth, and amazing skilled coaches with a sense of humor (which is rarely seen these days ;-))
Welcoming. Good equipment. Friendly atmosphere. Good physiotherapists and trainers
Wonderful personal specific professional training with great results and a beautiful personal touch
Very professional, caring and flexible. I definitely feel much fitter and confident
Ik train sinds 3/4 maanden met Denise en dat bevalt super goed! Naast dat het gezellig is, is ze een hele goede PT en krijg daarnaast advies over gezonde voeding, hormoonbalans en stressreductie! Heel blij mee!
Denise is heel erg goed in het maximale uit een training halen en tegelijkertijd ook rekening houden met jouw belastbaarheid op dat specifieke moment. Echt super in wat ze doet!
Before joining convoy I was really out of shape, I lacked motivation to have a consistent routine.
I decided to try PT with Matt and it was a total change, now I'm doing 100kg benchpress for 8 repetitions and I feel motivated to train every week.

Strongly recommend if looking for a place to 'Drop In' whilst in Amsterdam. The whole process was easy, with an app and great customer service.
Once inside and training, the trainers are attentive and supportive. The programs make sense and focus on different skill sets.
Its a little out of the way... but a tram will drop you out the front and its a lovely walk into the centre along the water.
I will come back each time i am in the city.

The gym has good trainers but the female owner is extremely unprofessional, mistreats customers, her gym her rules she says. Can’t imagine a reputable business can have a owner this rude, shame but there are plenty of other amazing boxing gyms in the neighborhood with better service.
I'm working out with Matt for nearly a year now, and it literally changed my life. I wasn't consistent with my workout or my goals. Matt helped me to focus even in the busiest of times, and the more I saw my progress the more I got motivated. Now I push myself in each workout and still feel great afterwards.
I definitely recommend working out with Matt and the Convoy 020 for people struggling with consistency, and want to change their habits. I really can't thank him enough.

I've been a member of this gym for more than a half year. This cozy establishment may be small in size, but it boasts a big heart and an even bigger commitment to helping its members achieve their fitness goals.
One of the standout features of this gym is its welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Matt, Celine and Valentine are always ready with a smile and a word of encouragement, making every workout session a pleasant experience.
The gym's location is a definite plus. It's conveniently situated in an area that's easily accessible, less than 5 min walk from tram station.
But what truly sets this gym apart is the remarkable progress I've made since joining. I can see the noticeable improvement in my strength, stamina, and overall well-being since becoming a member here.
In conclusion, I can't recommend this gym enough, and I look forward to many more rewarding workouts in the future.

We came for a drop in class .. the box is very nice and the coach was great.. I’ll definitely go again when I’m in town
WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE AIRCO TO 18-19C which is directly blowing all over? I have got several times injured and got cold in summer which is ridiculous. I think this location does require a serious check with the usage of airco on sport facilities and also the temperature of the showers.
Terrible management.
Keep charging me after I stop my subscription.

I joined this crossfit box a couple months ago as a complete beginner and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping you.
The members are supportive and encouraging, creating a positive and inclusive environment. No matter your level of fitness. And there's always something new to challenge and motivate you.
I highly recommend this crossfit box to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding experience. It has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can't wait to continue my fitness journey here!

I loved the coaches and members here. Dropped in twice while on vacation and the two coaches were fabulous with tips and encouragement. Movements were demo’d and form was clearly important. The members were the most friendly of any box I experienced in Europe / England.
My one complaint and why I gave them a 4 star review instead of 5 is that I needed to cancel my 3rd drop-in. I emailed twice after asking the coach about cancelling for the next day. It wasn’t even the refund that was important to me, it was more that it was a high demand class and I wanted to make sure someone could get in if they were waitlisted. I never heard back, not even that it was too late for a refund which was a disappointment.

Great place to improve on any kind of physical exercise. In this gym you can find everything from group lessons (like CrossFit or strength club) to individual lessons based on personal programs. Met and Celine are great personal coaches, but also motivators and facilitators. And of course - community, this is where you can nice people that share the same goal with you. Overall, excellent place!
Since February klanten service told me will email back about correction of the contract,till now heard nothing,plus been taken my money every month.
I was late to cancel my contract only few hours.
Trainer anoushka is most unpleasant teacher ever! Very rude.
Client service is very bad.
You guys really deserve not even 1star.

Iedereen bij fresh is heel behulpzaam en de sportschool zelf is echt top. Het is een goede ruimte met alle benodigdheden om je doelen te behalen. Ik werk al een paar maanden super fijn samen met mijn persoonlijke trainer Danielle. Ik kan de sportschool en trainers heel erg aanraden!
Super motivational Crossfit Box, Friendly helpful coaches and members, very clean and organised facilities, definitely recommend!!
Great place for Training, very expirienced stuff with a lot of positive attitude!
I really enjoy their barre class, the group lesson room has all the equipment needed. They have some showers available, they the 4 digit free lockers. To me the gym looks ok, it’s just not the newest- most beautiful one out there.
Train ondertussen meer dan een jaar bij Denise en kan het niet anders omschrijven dan super fijn! Naast haar kennis over (kracht) training en gezonde levensstijl, heeft ze heel aandacht voor de persoon die ze voor zich heeft en is ze ook echt een mentalecoach. Ze beweegt mee met hoe ik me voel en wat ik nodig heb. Daardoor weet ik weet altijd dat ik het meeste haalbare uit een training haal bij haar.
Amazing place! More than a CrossFit box
Really small gym, not too many people go here. I find it super nice to train here because not too many super advanced people go here so it's not intimidating. Staff are super friendly too.
Just want to also add that Sarahi is such a fantastic trainer, i came in here with zero knowledge and she made me a great training plan. She pushed me without the 'no pain no gain' attitude that some trainers at other places have and also didn't pressure me to weigh myself or do a weight loss plan. For the first time i enjoy exercise now!

I've tried tons of gyms. From the local small shops to the big chains. I've been to a number of CrossFit boxes too. Most are super aggro, and are packed with either fitspo girls that eat a broccoli and chicken breast a day, or meatheads with no neck and more growth hormone pumping through them than anything.
But these guys here at Vastberaden are totally different: their focus on form and quality performance is what got my attention. But the coaches are what keep me coming back. They're some of the nicest and most attentive people in sports that I've ever met, and the best part? They care about (and celebrate in) your growth with a tracking journal they call the book of awesome. Love it.
Been training almost a year now and I've never been happier with my results, plus the community vibe is second to none. By far the best box I've ever been to. Ten stars!

I have lived in many places in the Netherlands and abroad so I have trained at +- 25 different gyms. Convoy is definitely number 1 for me. It is an intimate, cozy hangout, but at the same time Matt and Celine train us in such a professional way and we are always challenged to get the most out of ourselves. I have made so much progression and nothing is more fun than getting stronger and fitter every week! I will continue to enjoy working out here for years to come.
Clean, spacious and well equipped gym. I never thought that I would enjoy weightlifting till I started to workout here with Celine and Matt, they are the best! I highly recommend it.
Highly recommendable gym.
After a hiatus of 20yrs since my last workout, I started working with Matt to get my health and strength back on track.
I really enjoy the direct and no-nonsense approach, and the custom workout schedule he provides and adjusts where needed.
You can easily see the owners Matt & Celine are passionate about what they do and offer, and the overall vibe in the gym is great.
Definitely looking forward to train more!

By far the best gym on the block! Matt and Celine are a true power couple running this beautiful and professional gym, located at a great spot with modern equipment.
Starting to train here truly changed my physique and energy levels in no-time! Matt is a great trainer who really helped me get stronger and even with a back injury he managed to get me fit and stronger than ever.
All I have is love for the great atmosphere in this gym! Beautiful people and delicious coffee/proteinshakes.

Staff are very friendly, the gym have a wide variety of machines for all muscles and in terms of hygiene is clean. For myself, these are the 3 most important things.
Very professional!
Poor conditions and equipment. Leaking the ceiling. The bathroom hasn't worked for months already. Shame!
This club doesn't deserve 5, but 5 million stars!
I am attending crossfit lessons, but have seen that there is a quite good equipped gym with professional coaching and few physio rooms.
Regarding crossfit, it has several levels (from beginners to high intensity) adequate for everyone who wants to learn and workout!
The best deals about this club that you get (beside affordable prices) are incredible atmosphere and absolutely amazing coaches! People coming to Crossfit are also quite friendly and supportive. For me as a non Dutch speaker it was important to find a club where I could fit in and be accepted - Mobilis is definitely a place where you won't have a problem with this.
To the coaches and owners - keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job! Mobilis is one happy place!

I brought a 2 weeks pass during my stay in Amsterdam at this gym. This is a great gym, it has all the equipments you will need, clean and super nice helpful staff. During my 4 months travel in Europe in many different countries and brought many day/week passes at different gyms, this is the best gym experience I had. If you ever looking for a gym in Amsterdam area, go to this gym, it's a great gym for your workout.
Great Gym - good vibe, friendly personal trainers, hygienic, well maintained equipment!!
I took personal training from Romee for 6 weeks and she was instrumental in helping me get fantastic results - Lost 8 kilos, achieved fat loss without losing any muscle or picking up any injury.
Special call out for Romee who is very friendly, energetic and flexible - she adjusted the training level to my baseline and helped me improve every week and reach my best.

Great spot!! Super clean with enough room for a small class to work comfortably. The equipment is in great shape. The coaching was simply awesome! Great warm up and great explanation of the workout. The members were all very friendly and accommodating. This isn’t the main location, but I really enjoyed the small feel, it reminds me of my first gym.
Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. All equipment is well maintained. Personal training costs are reasonable and trained are professional and personable. What more could you want?
My first ever crossfit experience was here at CrossFit Flames XL and i have to say, even though it seemed overwhelming and scary before i tried it, i enjoyed it so much!!! The experience from the booking my first try out lesson, to introduction to the box, attention of coaches, help and motivation from other crossfitters was just amazing. They never made me feel awkward or unfit. All the exercises were adjusted to my capabilities and the only thing i noticed was how fast i learned and could progress, and how great it made me feel. I have never been the fittest pea in the pot, but i could work on making myself stronger, faster and happier. This place gives you so much energy - it's fantastic!
Unprofessional management and not value for money. Not too clean either.
Mats have been suddenly cut in half, the staff reason was: “now more people can use them” smh.

I was there today to ask for the prices of tje subscriptions, they refused to tell me before i sign up to the trail session!! I find that strange
I have been training here for a few months already. Super motivating trainers! Very friendly and welcoming!
Awesome box! I visited quite a few boxes last year and none surpassed this one. It has a good group feeling because it is small, which gives you an extra motivation during the workout. Coached are great: good attention to warm-up, flexibility and technique. And it has awesome workouts for both high level and beginning athletes
They exploit the fact that gym memberships have a legal cool down period of one week for the trial, whereas *everything else* in the EU is two weeks. Case-in-point, no one is debating whether it's legal or not. Legality doesn't imply it's good practice. Also, the building is run down. There are more flexible gyms in town. Onefit lets you cancel from month-to-month.
I love this gym! Amazing location — good value — all the equipment I need no more no less. It’s unpretentious, with varied crowd ( not all gym bros or birds! ). Staff vary from lovely to passive but who cares, I know what I want to do and that’s it, most of them manage a hi/ fijneavond / doi!. They often play really good progressive techno / tech-house which I actually like enough to Shazam sometimes. It’s got a good vibe. The sauna is infra red and not mixed which is a shame ;)
EDIT: in recent times 2023 on… it’s been over run with teenagers in the evening ; they are annoying and shouldn’t be allowed.
Also the sauna is disgusting with stinky man sweat everywhere. Yuck

We dropped in on our visit to Amsterdam and had a great time! Awesome coaching, atmosphere and CrossFit of course. We did a mini triathlon so something totally different for us. Will drop in again if we can :)
(They have showers which was a plus for traveling to next town afterwards)

Absolutely wonderful CrossFit box, and I visited many all over the world. Very welcoming atmosphere, I felt right at home! The coaches are excellent, the group lessons are like personal trainings. Highly recommended!
Amazing place, nice atmosphere, good food, friendly people and motivated trainers. Lessons are very good. Even if you are a guest in Amsterdam it's definitely a place to come by for your drop-in training.
Great gym facility, especially now that it has been pimped out. A lot of diverse people here, not only white people 😊 And there are more female athletes. Which is nice for a change. The owner is an Games athlete, who started from scratch and has a lot experience. I will come again.
Super nice coaches who got around to all, gave support where needed, and explained how to improve technique. Literally gave the shirt off his back. Great set up with the use of the waterside for running and plenty of equipment available. Warm up and down routines provided Starting to use the MINDBODY app so download and book in when in town. I enjoyed my training. Thanks
Great box with professional trainers. I started training two years ago, with zero training experience. They can guide you if you have no experience, and they can easily handle the more experienced Crossfit fanatics. There’s a lovely open atmosphere amongst members of the box.
Would recommend it to everyone!

A good gym with almost all of the equipment that you want or need. The staff is also friendly. Don't know why some other comments portrays it differently. They also have this amazing machine with drinks and they say it doesn't have sugars in them. Hope that's true.
Regarding the equipment, it's all you need and most people look really jacked which motivates you to train even more since you look skinny as hell in comparison.
The locker room is really basic and you need your own lock for the lockers which is the only negative thing I can think of.
Oh yeah and they also have a sauna which is always nice.

BE CAREFUL WTH TRIAL LESSONS, after you fill in their ''trial'' form, they collect money from your account, even when you clearly state you do not want to become a member after the trial lesson.
The best there is!
