I can't say enough good things about Alison…read more For years I worked out in gyms and never lost any weight or gained any muscle. Then, I came across Alison's ad, hired her and have been working out with her since April of 2014. Since I had an old ankle injury, she designed a program just for me with this in mind until we could build up the strength in that ankle. Now I can do things I never could after my ankle injury 7 years ago! If that weren't enough, she helped me lose 10 kg. in just 4 months AND she makes exercising fun and although I've been athletic my whole life, I never enjoyed working out until now. She even got me addicted to lifting weights and doing weight bearing exercises. She designed an eating plan for me which changes periodically depending on my progress and she taught me to eat healthy when I thought I couldn't eat any healthier. Did I mention her supportive yet firm training style? all of this and a wonderful personality to boot. I look forward to spending time with her each and every week. She's really changed my life for the better.

Terrific experience at UP so far. We just started shifting back to the gym after outdoor workouts…read more In 10 weeks I've lost about 10% body fat. But more importantly, I've been feeling good in my body again - more energetic, stronger, mobile, confident. The training team really looks after all the little details and you can literally see the improvement day by day. I've done lots of training programs previously and ended up with little results or injuries; the program at UP is a proven approach and it's awesome to see such rapid change. I never thought a six pack would be something I'd achieve but in fact its just a few weeks away!

From the owner: Hailed by Men's Fitness magazine as the 'world's leading personal trainers', Ultimate Performance…read more(U.P.) is not your standard Amsterdam personal training operation. We don't care about being your friend - that's a bonus, that's nice to have. Our trainers don't have hyphenated careers (i.e. actors-models-dancers-trainers), their sole focus is to help clients achieve results. They all work full-time for us and don't get involved in anything else that could distract them from their overarching goal of maximising the client's return on their investment of time and money. That's why our private gyms are just for our clients. We are not for everyone. We are only for those people who want to make a commitment to changing their bodies. We get results, plain and simple. In the land of the fitness gimmick, you may not believe all our sensational before-and-afters, in which case you'll have to believe in grand conspiracies because we've literally hundreds of photos and videos to choose from - all from people who train for three weeks or more.

It's almost summer in Amsterdam, so if you're looking for a fun way to work out- I recommend you…read moreget in on the Anna Mora studio action! They offer a wide range of classes to suit just about every fitness level, and I've seen some super zen yogis gracefully walking around the place and stretching out like it ain't no thing- it's truly a sight to behold. But what I'm most excited about here is the jumping fitness class. It's basically an hour of non-stop fun, made up of high intensity cardio that leaves you out of breath, sweating buckets but also smiling because it's just a little bit ridiculous! Tom the trainer is hilarious! His music choices are always fun and before you know it, the class is over and you've worked out hard without watching the clock (too much)! And for me it really works as there's a class on every day at a reasonable time after work (I'm looking at you crappy gyms and your 5pm schedule that no one I know can make it to..) and if you can manage to squeeze it in, reasonable hour sessions on the weekend too! Best of all, it's part of the OneFit network. So I got the chance to get in and try the class when I probably wouldn't have gotten to otherwise. I'll need to give some of the other classes a whirl and report back but, so far so good and it's the perfect kick start to the would be summer!

I was a member for over a year and used it both locations, for their equipment and tried classes…read more The classes are predominantly in dutch, even if you ask for translation. The club announcements are in dutch. Even if your dutch is in progress (like mine) it can be unnerving to be left behind in fitness instruction. The equipment is good and the setup is good as well. Be prepared to be in the background of either locational/promotional filming of fitness bloggers, and other events that regularly take place.

This is one of the better health city locations. Too bad it is so far from just about everything…read more There is a lot of weights for the heavy lifters and also a lot of machines for aerobics. Plenty of classes available, from yoga to spinning. Downstairs they also have a chef who can cook you up a post workout meal. This saunas and hot tub area is just like going to a bath house, but it's included in the membership. This is the best addition to this location and really makes it worth the trip. By far my favorite HealthCity location. It's just too bad it is so far from home and even in the opposite direction from work.

The gym itself is very nice and has a lot of equipment and classes. However the saleswoman Noor is…read moreterrible, very flippant, not at all helpful, basically doesn't seem like she wants to do her job at all. Specifically I showed up with a friend who had done a tour the week before and I wanted to use the wellness area. I had a tote bag purse that was obviously not full and she stated that I could not wear a swimsuit, as if I should have come in fully nude (I was in work out clothes) I already knew this and said ok. The website states over and over that this is an all inclusive club, it also mentions towels and robe service which I assumed was included. I wasn't offered during the above conversation to rent a robe or towels. I also wasn't offered a tour of the facilities. I went upstairs to the locker room (that my friend told me where they were not the sales person) and took 10 minutes trying to figure out the lock, when I was finally successful, I wandered around trying to locate towels and robes, they weren't there. I went back down the stairs and stood at the front desk so I could ask someone, the first employee didn't really understand what I meant, she was very polite and tried but asked me to wait while she got Noor. I stood out there another couple minutes and eventually Noor moseyed out with her freshly made cup of coffee (because customers should always wait for employees to do personal things), I asked for a Robe and Towels, she looked at me like I was an Alien from another planet, so I repeated myself. She notified me that towels and robes could be rented in a very snotty way, didn't offer to rent them to me, didn't tell me what the rental price was. I unfortunately also was very annoyed at this point as she seemed to be going out of her way to be unhelpful and replied that isn't what the website said and also isn't "all inclusive". To be fair the website can be taken both ways but she could've been polite. So I went back to the locker room, grabbed my bag and went back downstairs and sat in the lobby for about 30ish minutes while my friend finished up. We went to join up, she asked how our time was I responded with Terrible, I was ignored. My friend grabbed the paperwork because overall the facility was very nice and we figured we would never have to speak to her again. We sat down to fill out the paperwork and after about 15 minutes she came back over and in what I'm sure she thought was a huge display of generosity said for that this 1 time only she could give us free robes and towels, keep in mind this was 45 minutes later from when I originally asked for them. I said no I didn't want them, I was hungry and wanted to leave. She then started to offer again and I stated that she should have offered them when I asked. She then told me that it was my fault because I didn't give her a chance to. I guess sitting in the lobby for 30 minutes didn't give her a chance or when we went for the papers 15 minutes before or I dunno offering to rent them to us in the very beginning or being nice instead of rude when I actually asked. We would have happily paid for a robe and towel rental, we would have totally signed up but telling a customer that they are responsible for the employees bad behavior by the employee is a major deal breaker. So they lost 140 eur a month in membership fees.
