Fresh Health & Fitness is a small fitness club in the 'Tolstraat' in the Pijp. When you come inside…read moreit looks very nice. Clean, nice interior, place to sit and relax and it seems to have anything you need (at least, what I need.). The staff is friendly and helpful. They also sell coffee and juices which is nice. The big downer about this place is the price. It is very expensive. You pay 45 euros or something for 'dal-uren' (you can't get inside after 5 PM). I pay 50 euros each month for the student membership so for a regular membership its even more. I think this is very expensive, especially since the club is so small and a lot of the machines are always taken and you have to wait. Which is annoying.

Came here for my sanity during a torturous conference so only used for 3 days…read more Staff are lovely - no problems at all. Be mindful to bring your own towel as these are not provided. The two big problems with this gym are; It's tiny. Really really small. So if you are in anyway claustrophobic or don't fancy waiting for one piece of equipment I would avoid. The opening hours are restrictive - sat 9-7 and sun 9-5. Not so bad during the week though. I probably wouldn't return - the lack of space is an issue for me. Aside from that though it is a nice clean fitness centre. I guess it depends what floats your boat. No booming shitty music - I really appreciated that.

Hebben onterecht maanden geld van mijn rekening getrokken en na vele malen contact te hebben gelegd…read morewordt het maar niet in orde gemaakt. Pas op met lid worden, je komt er niet vanaf.

Firsts can be exciting. Definitely after not doing it for a while. So you work it for 20 min…read more Then you start to think you can endure an extra hour, while normally you give up after 45 min of... well any activity. You even dare to take of your shoes, go barefoot (i prefer to keep my socks on). You never knew you could bend that way or even that far. And the man who's telling you to do so is actually really nice and funny. You actually want more action, so you do it for another 20 min, you're on a roll! 12 hours later and you can't even laugh properly because it hurts. Already. Ugh you're such a wuss... In case you're wondering, I am talking spinning and Body Balance. Of course, whatelse? :) On a serious note: it's a huge gym, with a zilion machines, a sauna and 3 seperate rooms for all those BodyWhateva classes. It looks quite clean although i did see some cobwebs and pile of dust on top of the lockers. Tip #1. Wear short sleeve shirts. People are not allowed to wear tanktops when working on the machines apparently so I had to borrow a shirt (nice service!) During all those BodyWhateva classes however you can wear those skanky tops (is that the reason? Gotta find out) Tip #2. Check upon arrival if the classes are really fully booked. The app (!) said it was, but apparently it wasn't, i could book it on the spot. Tip #3. If you've got a spot, the reception needs to hand you a card which you hand over to the instructor at the beginning of your class. I didn't get one so i had to go back and forth for a shirt and then the card. Great work out though. ;) I wouldn't know how packed it gets during the day, I went between 9.30 - 11.30am. Not too quiet but defo not busy. The classes are predominantly in the AM and after 5pm. I reckon that is prime time. Some of the staff (at least 2) cannot hide their dislike (or pure disinterest) which is a pity. A smile would suffice, fake it till you make I'd say. Most of them are helpful and friendly though. Jet for instance, seems like she's got the right spirit, very chipper! You just have to try and avoid those angry birds and enjoy your work out. Curb your enthusiasm though, it might hurt within 12 hours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yours truly Ms Wuss

Big place, lots of cardio with decent amount weight training equipment in there as well…read more As with the chain, it is not expensive. There is a monthly contract possibly now, so you don't have to unwillingly get in to one year lock-in. Parking is free and there is ample parking space available. Mornings after 09:00 mostly occupied by seniors. Gets somewhat quiet around noon & early afternoon. Evenings are kind of busy mostly. After 20:30, starts to get kind of free again. But you can always manage to find your space, may be you might have to wait couple of minutes when it is really busy but that is not always. There also a number of group classes / sessions going on, haven't tried them yet, Gym floor and equipment are sufficiently neat and clean. There are some old looking cardio equipment, they could be swapped for shiny new ones. Lot of lockers are available but you should bring your own lock or purchase one at the reception for a small fee. Changing room is big enough. There are couple of toilets and showers and a small dry sauna. Toilets are neat..most of the time. No idea on shower rooms. Shower costs 50 cents. Haven't been inside the dry sauna, looks really small but fine from outside. Perfect for beginners and occasional gym training. There are also the muscle marys who appear regularly. So really for everybody.
