I am from the USA and was looking for a place to lift while I was in Leuven for the week. This gym…read morewas very close to my hotel (Parkinn) and was within walking distance. I do not know kg to lb conversions off the top of my head but I had access to my phone and Google a conversion chart. That helped a lot. The price was a little high but it's the same that my gym at home charges for day passes. Overall I was very satisfied. When I come back I will be visiting again. Owner was very nice as well.

Over the last 24 months, my personal best in marathon has improved and I can fill stronger and more functional when running. Having completed ironman races himself, he can guide rookie triathletes to achieve the next goal. Nicolas is also a personal trainer at David Lloyd gym.

I worked with Nico on a program based around a core of classic barbell exercises - squat, bench,…read moreand deadlift. Training sessions were challenging and fun, and I progressed steadily whilst losing weight and putting on an appreciable amount of new muscle. Beyond just coaching lifting form, Nico has a deep understanding of all the different factors that go into a training program - how to manipulate volume and intensity, when to bring in accessories and alternative forms, and what to do outside the gym to maximise effectiveness. He knows when to push me for a new personal best, but also when I need to be encouraged to dial things back a notch and get some rest, which has kept me injury free and performing throughout the year. I am delighted with the results we've achieved together, but even more than that I have come to really enjoy the whole process. I never thought that I'd be the kind of person who looked forward to working out, but thanks to Nico I am now!

New machines, lots of cardio, ample space to work out and zone out. If you are one of those people…read morethat don't like to be bothered while working out because it's your zen then this is a good gym. I personally dislike it when there are too many people around. especially if you are a woman at a gym, no one bothers you. When I lived in NYC this was annoying at Equinox. The price of this gym is also right but I don't know how much gyms cost in Brussels so nothing to compare it to.

I'm still a yoga junkie, doesn't matter where I am in the world, I always try to find a studio to…read moretry to get in touch with the peace within me when the world is so chaotic. I came here for an evening class and really enjoyed it. It is not in a heated room, but the yoga style was very much what I was used to, mostly Vinyasa and flow into each movement. The studio is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Nice changing room with ample space for all your things. There is a nice sitting area to just chill out, drink some hot tea, and to get to know other yogis. The yoga studio is upstairs and in a beautiful slanted room with nice windows. I really enjoyed the 90 minute session and when I am in Brussels, I will always stop in for a yoga class. For newbies, you can get two classes for 10 Euros. Great deal and a little piece of nirvana in Brussels!
