Reviews
We had a disappointing stay here this week. So many things went wrong it’s hard to list them all.
The 2 main upsetting things that happened was firstly our bath robes and towels were stolen from the spa area. We spoke to a member of staff in the spa and they refused to help us. They said we had to go to reception to get it sorted. So off we went, with nothing to cover ourselves with and we waited in the reception area with everyone coming and going and the door opening and closing. It was incredibly embarrassing and also freezing cold. Once it was our turn in line, the receptionist was helpful and gave us robes to cover up.
Secondly, I left my scarf in my bedroom, when I was half way home I realised my mistake, so I messaged the spa. The following day I’d not had a reply, so I went back to the spa to collect it (it has sentimental value) but they said no scarf had been left in the hotel. Apparently housekeeping hadn’t reported any left belongings, so therefore I haven’t left it there! Well I definitely did leave it in the room, I wish I hadn’t :’( I’m so upset. I’m quite shocked that it’s no longer anywhere to be found.
On top of these 2 big things, we also had a dirty room with hair shavings in the sink, dirty glasses, mould in the bathroom and dirty towels.

I would give my spa experience at Zuiver a solid 3 out of 5. If it weren’t for the outside area, I would rate my experience at a lower rate. We went there on a bikini day, which was maybe a mistake since the male crowd was quite intimidating. The Japanese and the Finnish saunas were beautifully executed, and we enjoyed the outdoors jacuzzi and the warm pool a lot, as well as the overall variety of amenities available. We didn’t even manage to try all of them because we felt like staying in the sauna for longer. However, the steam room was an absolute disappointment. It gave a feeling of a stuffy fitting room and what’s the most frustrating it had a strong mold-like smell inside. The floor tiles were partly covered in black mold as well, perhaps due to a poor ventilation system.
Ik sport hier al jaren met plezier! Lekker buiten, in het park of op een plein. En Ewout is een topper. Enthousiast en motiverend door weer en wind!!
Gevarieerde training, altijd verrassend en uitdagend. Goede begeleiding en natuurlijk ook gewoon heel leuk!
Had a relaxing stay in hotel & spa. Spa offers variety of facilities and is comfortable to visit, we enjoyed that no attractions were too crowded and we always found a spot to explore each facility. There are changing rooms and lockers, and shower provides washing gel.
Since we also booked a hotel, bathrobes and towels were provided. Going only for SPA one should be mindful to bring their own sandals, towels, and bathrobe - otherwise it is available for rent.
Rooms were well decorated with a great forest view, one minus point is because there are not shower door/curtain, which creates cold air circulation when having a warm shower.

Very effective personal training, tough but with laughs, great professional atmosphere. Warm and respectful owners and personnel.
Went to the spa and was pleased with the clean facilities. Big place with a good selection of indoor/outdoor pools, saunas, steam rooms. Only complaint is that the big outdoor pool could have been hotter, given that the weather was cold.
Great gym with a really good culture where everyone can feel comfortable and safe to train. It’s a good place for people of all levels from beginners to top level fighters
I didn't enjoy spa evening at all. So many people talked in 'quiet' saunas and baths, big pool was cold even being outside in November. We were waiting for dessert more than 30 minutes, restaurant staff forget about it (we needed to reminder 3 times to have it). In the end I saw that they included extra drink in our bill. And parking for several hours was 14 EUR, which is extremely high rate. So this experience was stressful instead of relaxing. I would not recommend it to visit anyone
I’ve had the privilege to visit quite a few spas over the years and last Monday my daughter and I were kind of ‘forced’ to book here as there wasn’t anywhere else that could accommodate us with the options we wanted. That was the universe guiding us! Lovely place with extremely friendly staff both at the saunas and the restaurant. And about the latter: best food BY FAR compared to similar places. Hat off! We’ll be back :)
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!
I went a few months ago and it was an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, I can never go here on weekends because I prefer to wear a bathing suit while swimming. Furthermore, on the website they happily announce that they've removed the energy cost while raising the standard price by 9%.
Hier 5 jaar heel fijn gesport. Ewout is een enthousiaste en vrolijke instructeur die zorgt voor afwisselende en uitdagende lessen. Omdat het in de wijk is, hangt er een gezellige community gevoel met veel terugkerende sporters. Helaas kan ik door verhuizing hier niet meer sporten, ga het erg missen. Als je twijfelt, doe een proefles en je raakt ook verslaafd aan Dopecamp.
Good gym, bit overcrowded sometimes but nonetheless good spot
Small classes.
Cozy gym with friendly staff and instructor. I would have given up exercising long ago if not because of the nice group lessons.
Came for a summer package at the spa.
Welcome very friendly. Massage was great!
Love the space of the spa, lots of options. From different types of saunas, pools, relax area etc.
Lunch also tasty.
Found the prices have gone up a lot since I last went.

Spierpijn gegarandeerd! Hele fijne manier van sporten en een goede en leuke instructeur is Khalid. Mijn favoriet is BBB.
Terrible management.
Keep charging me after I stop my subscription.

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!
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.
Leuke oldschool boksschool!
Er worden ook op woensdag 09.00-10.00 leuke kickbokslessen gegeven voor recreanten.
Goeie locatie

The kickboxing/hiit workout was good, small group on the Saturday. Nice vibe and instructor. Would have given 5 stars if the trainer didn't have to leave right after class and close the gym. I had to beg if I could have a quick shower. He wasn't going to let me but turned out the HIIT session next door was still going on so I could exit from there. Still a stressful quick shower - don't offer showers if we can't use them. So not sure I'd go again, maybe only if I call up front to double check if they can remain open for 5 more minutes which sounds ridiculous.
Honestly, love this gym! I always go on Saturday, really chill place. So grateful for CrossFit classes.
Didn't do a workout here, but I was busting for a pee yesterday and they let me in to use the bathroom.
I'd just spent 2 hours on a train and at the station they wanted me to pay to relieve my bladder, so I was desperate. Very friendly staff, I had a hassle-free experience - would definitely recommend

Great atmosphere and experienced staff. An amazing place to practice your kick boxing skills.
I dropped in for a workout and this is a great gym that has everything you would need to get a great workout. The gym has multiple squat racks, plenty of free weights, and space to do just about anything. They make great use of the space they have. You can even get a pre-workout espresso. The owner and trainers are also super friendly!
We had the opportunity to make use of The Athletic Club during a trip to Amsterdam and it is such an excellent facility! The owner is so kind, the facility is super clean and well equipped. They have coffee available too. Highly recommend!
Top gym!
Very disappointing.
Asked specifically if I could have a deadlift session before checking in, they said yes, and after I started deadlifting came to me complaining I cannot make noise.
Also the gym closed 40 minutes after I paid and I was not told in advance.
Gym is small aswell.
If you're a Cissy or a Karen this is your place, otherwise move along if you are serious about Training

Ze waren er niet om de afgesproken tijd vanmorgen om 7:30. Lekker Amsterdams...
Liz was amazing! She was so sweet and helpful from the moment we called. They offer day passes. The gym is tiny but has everything you need for a quick workout. Very cozy and clean. Def recommend.
Voor een sportieve dag afgerond met een heerlijke sauna ben je hier aan hét goede adres.
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 friendly staff, lots of space, light, and equipment. You can also watch some live tennis in between sets :)
Very professional!
Ik ben bij vele fysiotherapeuten geweest maar mijn nek en schouder klachten bleef ik houden. Toen ik 1 maand geleden bij Pieter terecht kwam, 1 afspraak was ik verlost van mijn nek en schouder klachten! Vandaag weer geweest voor check up. Nog steeds klachten vrij. PIETER YOU ARE THE BEST! Geen slapeloze nachten meer dankzij Pieter!
In my opinion, the best gym in the area of Lelylaan! The staff is always happy to help you with your workout and I’ve already received quite a few good tips that improved my performance.
The gym is a bit small but that makes people going there feel more like a community compared to other big gym chains.
Overall, the place is amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a chill place to workout.

Just visiting from out of town and popped in for a kickboxing class. Great instructor, training partners, and work out. I'd definitely go again.
Best authentic gym experience in Amsterdam. As an Equinox member from the U.S. I often struggle to find strong gyms for traveling professionals who still want a comprehensive workout that can span those wanting to train seriously whilst traveling Europe.
Athletic Club was great checking every box in central Amsterdam.
CLEAN. Friendly.
With strong trainers, and all of the equipment you could possibly need from cardio to core training, bodybuilding to functional training.
No surprise after experimenting with 4 different gyms, I came back every day once I found it.

Amazing experience at this gym. I was visiting Amsterdam for a few days, but wanted to continue my training routine. Mo and staff were super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is visiting or a local!
Fully equipped with maintained equipment, and even better staff!

A gym with a warm and friendly atmosphere, where trainers keep in mind the peculiarities of the health and body conditions of each member, take this into account in training and give personal advice. I signed up for a trial class over a year ago, and after a year of monthly payments, signed up for an annual membership. The gym has special classes for developing individual skills, challenges, group and individual classes. Using the app it's easy to book places in group classes. The members of the gym are friendly. At the same time, no one will distract you if you want to practice alone. Highly recommended!
Pretty small gym where you are limited with the options to work out. Staff was very friendly and gym was very clean. If the price was lower I would maybe consider but otherwise price is too high.
High intensity classes, but not too busy in the mornings
Great club. Cardio training super intense, great coaching technique. I recommend if you want to experience high intensity training.
Nice atmosphere, clean and well equipped gym
Highly recommended

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.
De trainingen zijn altijd leuk en uitdagend! Er wordt veel moeite gedaan om de trainingen afwisselend te houden en daarom is het nooit saai. Ook het beatcamp concept is echt leuk: je raakt er helemaal in de feeststemming van terwijl je aan het sporten bent! Ik zou het zeker aanbevelen.
Clean, various classes, not too full
..Best gym in town.. no matter if you are looking for conditional kickbag training, sparring, one on one padtraining or crossfit / fitness.. this boutique gym with the emphasis on martial arts / kickboxing has it all.. amazing melting pot of all cultures and ages.. alhamdullilah - respect all, fear none.. osu
Had a great experience here! People are nice and the atmosphere feels good to train in. I was looking for a gym with a boxing ring, keiser air pressure machine and a sled turf. Ettaki checked all the boxes! =D
Such a great gym with clean and neat equipments, and super experienced instructors! All the classes are quiet challenging, and it’s also very nice that all the motions/positions are well explained in the classes. Highly recommending for the gym beginners!
Have been apart of this gym for a few months, and I find it great! The trainers are very friendly and they keep the classes interesting. There is also a good variety of machines and weights available.
Would definitely recommend it to internationals, as everyone speaks English.

Small, but well equipped gym with quality equipment that fulfills all the necessities and more. Very friendly and personable staff that make everyone feel welcome.
Whether you are just starting out or are more advanced, it’s a great place to train in a relaxed and supportive environment. Have been with them for about 2 years now and I love it!

Hier werken professionals met passie en feeling voor iedere klacht. Ben nu bijna 1 half jaar klant door mijn slijmbeursontstekking en nu zie je dat hun visie en fingerspitzengefühl werkt. Nog even en dan kan ik alles weer doen. Werken en sporten ben erg blij
Chapeau voor Pieter en zijn Team👍👍👍

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.

Great gym and awesome trainers! Love it here
Inmiddels al ruim een half jaar PT en aan het bootcampen bij Dope Camp en nog altijd ga ik met veel plezier naar de trainingen (al komt dat niet altijd zo over met mijn gezucht en gevloek, sorry Ewout! 😁)
Zelfs nu in de herfst/winter maanden blijft het heerlijk om buiten te sporten, Ewout zorgt er wel voor dat je het warm krijgt. Erg afwisselende trainingen, voor elk niveau toegankelijk, leuke muziek er bij en voel me fitter dan ooit.
Dikke aanrader!

Enkele keren per jaar zit mijn rug vast. Ik heb in het verleden meerdere praktijken geprobeerd zonder positief resultaat. Tot ik bij Mobilis kwam. Diederik heeft mij vanaf dag 1 geholpen en hij is echt FANTASTISCH. Hij neemt de tijd om in kaart te brengen wat er aan de hand is en helpt mij daarna direct. Elke keer is het met 1 behandeling opgelost. Diederik is een fijne en attente kerel. Super knap dat hij ook vaak gesprekken van 3 of 6 maanden daarvoor kan continueren. Ondank ik niet uit de buurt kom, neem ik graag de tijd om naar 1 van zijn locaties te komen. De praktijk is super schoon en alle medewerkers zijn onwijs vriendelijk. Ik kan Mobilis van harte aanbevelen. Een super tevreden klant
Great gym. Kickboxing lessons & general fitness facilities.
Very nice trainers and well equipped place in a heart of de Pijp ☆☆☆☆☆
Amazing new gym with new equipment, real professionals as personal trainers. Good, clean place with great atmosphere.
I highly recommend it!
I highly recommend it!
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
Hele fijne gym met de leukste trainers van Amsterdam! Ga er heen voor kickboksen (techniek en zaktraining) en hiit circuit lessen. Bij zowel de vestiging aan de Albert Cuyp als de vestiging in West is het altijd gezellig en informeel, maar word je wel super goed begeleid. Fijne en lekker intensieve lessen met motiverende trainers!
Love going to this gym!! The classes are great, it’s clean and delicious smoothies! Very happy here.
En wéér waren de spinning bikes niet schoon bij aanvang van de les vanmorgen ... 😷
Great staff!!
Modern, friendly and clean lifting gym with a diverse set of classes. Showers and changing room. Excellent staff.
Great work out facility
This is a wonderful work-out facility especially because of the friendly and helpful staff. Recently my spouse and I joined the club and the people there have been great. Jasmine and Rick (who is the manager) have been warm, welcoming, and make us feel like we belong. We highly recommend the club.

Love every class and teacher at HIIT FIT, they make you feel welcome every time. You are pushed to give it your all but always with a smile on your face.
Cleanliness
Nice community, professional trainers and friendly engaging staff. Great materials if free weights, rings, bars and boxing is your thing. Enjoy a nice shake or meal afterwards.
It was a horrible nightmare. My shoulder pain deteriorated after the first session that was only within 15min, a short talking and a quick pushing on my backbone. Next morning, every time when I move my neck a sharp pain run up from my shoulder to neck. Further surprise came with their invoice, two invoices for the first 15min session as they say 'Consult fysiotherapie' and 'Screening en intake en onderzoek', the total amount nearly €100. Is this right ? I don't find conscience there.
Great workouts in fun atmosphere with constructive guidance so you get the most of the exercise and yourself. Highly recommend!
Nice new equipment, numerous squat racks and deadlift platforms. Ssb, Swiss bar, bumper plates, GHR decks and a nice food bar. Day pass is €15.
Just returned from Amsterdam where I had the pleasure of working out at the Athletic club. The gym I worked out in is located right between Vondelpark and the Marriott Hotel---GREAT location. Incredible little gym with a variety of weights and other fitness machines. I have been there several times and never had to wait for any weights or machines. Very interesting and efficient layout and the folks who work there are welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Great place! These people always bring a smile on your face - even while your muscles are burning and you’re sweating like crazy :) Would definitely recommend!
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.
Good fysio. Friendly staff, nice gym as well
Small but equipped gym with adequate machines and free weights.
Awesome and friendly staff.
Awesome and friendly staff.
A great gym at a beautiful location near the Amsterdamse Bos. Love the variety of group lessons and the spacious free-weights area. The instructors are very helpful and I love being able to spend an hour in the spa after my workout each time I go. Would definitely recommend this place.
I was there for a work related training course, so I can't provide any review on the spa part but the accommodation is great and the food was excellent.
Hele leuke No-nonsense sportschool, schappelijke prijzen en gezellige sfeer. Aanrader!
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.
Daphne, the physiotherapist, was very competent. I highly recommend her.
Perfect training : suitable for both advanced and beginner , i add as a extra to my normal martial arts routine , ( personally i've tried the normal bootcamp but i'm also curious to try the high intensity one) , quality coach and super price , i will come back very soon
The best there is!
Stay away from this place!
In addition to the fact that I went there for few treatments but my problem was not resolved, I have been charged for extra appointments which were never confirmed.

Prima lokale sportschool voor je conditie en om te leren je zelf te verdedigen.
