Visiting from USA, I was looking for a good weight-lifting gym to workout in during my vacation in…read moreCopenhagen. This place was the best gym out of the ~12 I've been to (in the states) over the last few years. The equipment was all very high quality, with multiple stations of the typical stuff -- benches, deadlift platforms, squat racks, etc. There were also a wide variety of machines, many of which I've rarely, if at all, seen before. Again, all were great and modern quality. There's a long turf area, with everything you could imagine as far as cross-training gear near said turf. Essentially just a huge variety and amount of very modern equipment. In my experience, gyms either have quality OR variety. This place has both. The employee at the front desk (who I later learned was one of the owners) was very friendly, and especially welcoming when I mentioned that I was new in town. As he made me a banana + protein shake after my workout (which is also an amazing perk -- delicious with a bunch of options), he gave me helpful suggestions for things to do in town. I will definitely be going back!

"There is no perfect gym." This is what I have said about every gym I have gone to, prior to…read morevisiting Vesterbronx. Now, Vesterbronx has raised my expectations for gyms. It is THE PERFECT GYM! That means a lot to me, as someone who has visited many gyms around the world, always trying to find the perfect one. Vesterbronx is friendly to powerlifters, weightlifters, CrossFitters, Strongman, bodybuilders, and multi-sport athletes alike. It is located in a very trendy area in Copenhagen called Vesterbro. There are a lot of restaurants around. The closest metro station, Forum, is about a 20 minute walk away, but there are buses which pick up much closer to the gym. The gym is on the 2nd floor which you can climb up to using the staircase or use the elevator. When you enter, you will be greeted by someone who is manning the coffee / espresso / protein shake café. Do note that this gym is cash only. So if you want to purchase a t-shirt, walk-in for a day pass, or purchase a food or café item, you will need to have some Danish Krone on you. The gym itself is clean and filled with everything a serious athlete could possibly need. The gym is equipped with many speciality bars (an SSB squat bar, football bar, log press, Eleiko weightlifting bars, a trap bar, and fat bars) and at least 5 power racks, 2 combination racks, and several competition benches with spotting platforms. There are many power bars including Ohio Power Bars and Eleiko Power Bars. Here is some more equipment this awesome gym has: chains, bands of all tensions, TRX, row machines, GHR, cable machines, full dumbbell stack, rings, ropes, reverse hyper, hyperextension, sissy squat, kettlebells, a turf, prowler sleds, plenty of machines, and a POMMEL HORSE (I thought that was so cool)! So you can come here to get a coffee, lounge, eat, relax, and train. They even have an "Arnold Lounge" which is a bodybuilding room that feels like an Arnold Schwarzenegger man cave. What a great environment. And not only that, there were a lot of strong people in there. I love training in an environment where others are pushing themselves really hard. It makes you push yourself harder. Finally, the staff were nothing short of wonderful. I got to meet René who actually let my brother borrow his shorts (he wasn't planning to train). How awesome! If I lived in Copenhagen, this would absolutely be my home gym.

People that like to workout, you are in luck. I'm 24 and…read morehave been working out for 7 years. This place is definitely worth the money. You can buy 1 day, 3 day or 1 week passes. 1 day = 99 DKK and 3 day is 150 DKK. That's 3 days for roughly 20 bucks. Being that a one day a golds gym back in the US is $10, this is a fair price. Let's talk layout. There are all the cardio machines (except for a stair master) Crossfit: they have 4 racks and plenty of bumper plates. (2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 kg) (they have a bucket of chalk as well) Kettle bells (ranging from 8kg to 40 kg. 40kg is 88lbs...so they had you covered there) They have boxes (ranging: 20, 24, 30 inches) Freestanding squat racks. [[ALL OF THE STUFF IS ELEIKO]] Small grass area with a sled so you can push weights. Weighted wall balls from 4-9kg Ample wall space for handstand push-ups. Jump ropes as well!! TRX machines as well Machines: Angles leg press and hack squat machine Flat bench, incline bench 3 full cable machines Free weights from 4kg to 40kg Preacher bars There is a ton more stuff but I feel weird walking through the gym. Aside from the gym, lockers are available for people...just bring your own lock. They have showers at your convenience, but just make sure to bring a towel. There are no real water fountains here, so you have to fill up your bottle in the bathroom. Just be aware of that. Beyond that... There are snacks and protein shakes up at the front so you can get you swoll on. Finally you can access wifi in the gym through the hostel above it called The Generator. Happy lifting!

My wife and I were visiting Copenhagen for a few days and bought two-day passes for 120DK/person…read more (I believe they also offer one-day and three-day passes). This is a very modern, clean gym with ample free weights and cardio machines. There are also two large multipurpose areas: one that primarily revolves around TRX bands, and another that includes squat racks, plyo boxes, kettlebells, and a weight sled with astro turf track! You can bring your own lock to use the lockers in the locker rooms; towels can be rented for 15DK. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One thing that struck me as odd is that there are no water fountains anywhere - not even in the locker room. However, you can use the sink faucet to fill up your water bottle. Nevertheless, we really loved this gym and would definitely return in the future.

Located down a long alleyway in Islands Brygge is the brand new fitness studio, YO STUDIOS. YO…read moreSTUDIOS officially launched at the end of January 2017 and so far, they offer a wide variety of fitness classes (yoga, barre, cardio and dance) that will get the blood pumping and get you sweating. The studio is very modernly decorated with a clean Nordic minimalistic feel. The decor is not distracting and makes the studio feel very calm. They also have a little butik at the far end of the studio to showcase their YO branded active wear. My only problem with the studio and basically, my only problem with place itself, is its small size. I assume the owners wanted to start out small and then transition into another space once they've grown their clientele, which is absolutely fine. But for the more popular classes, they might want to re-examine the max. limit. It's really annoying when you're trying to focus on your form/movement but have to be constantly worried that you're gonna run into someone else because the class is so full. In addition, the changing room is also pretty small and easily gets crowded, especially when classes are changing. But I'm not sure there is an easy solution to that. But for me, the classes and instructors are what earns YO STUDIOS 5 stars. I could easily watch some work out videos in the comforts of my own home but having that in-person instructor and their energy to guide your work out is what makes it worth it to come to a studio. The vibe of the studio and instructors are very laidback, friendly and welcoming so you don't feel intimidated but when it comes to the workout, they will definitely kick your a** (but in the best way possible). I also like how they utilize an online system and mobile app to reserve spots for classes and for check in. It makes registering and checking out classes super convenient. They also have special deals for membership and a free, one time 'test' class to check out the studio. But I would definitely recommend taking advantage of their 1 month unlimited pass deal for 199kr. It's totally worth it.

I tried it, and will not come back. Fitness World at Jagtvej will not be my second gym…read more The lay out is very strange. A lot of the center is used for changing room and bath. It only leave narrow rooms for exercise. It is kind of cramped to work out here. Most of the center is clean, but some of the machinery and every sink I used were dirty. It is expected of the users to clean up, when leaving a machine. But a lot of them were covered in old sweat and dust.

One of the better FW branches, but still just okay in my opinion. The selection and types of…read moreclasses they offer are really good, but I don't like the layout of the gym so much. There are four floors and two buildings connected by a walkway. One building is for classes and the other is for cardio and weights. The weights and cardio machines are divided on different floors so if you like to rotate sets of each of them it makes things a little difficult unless you're doing cardio sets on the mat area instead of on a machine. The class area is okay, but no matter what time of day there classes are always packed and the room never seems to be big enough - guess this shows how much people like the classes though! There is no water in the building with the classes so you have to leave in the middle of class and go all the way into the other building if you need to refill you bottle. Locker rooms are pretty big and I never have a problem finding a locker or an empty shower. There are usually 3 hairdryers for people to use so you may have to wait during the morning "rush hour." This branch is close to my apt so I continue to go here, but I think I prefer the Fourm branch in Frederiksberg the most. Overall, pretty standard FW, very good/hard classes and convinent location.

Summary: 3.5 stars rounding up to 4, because of the convenient location. Great classes. A little…read morecrowded after work. Lockers have a lot of supplies for ladies. Either buy and bring water, as I didn't see any water fountains. The atmosphere: This is a nicer gym, like an equinox in the US and even has cute work out gear and cycling shoes for sale. People are there for fitness, so I would go no matter what shape you are in. The Crowd: The girls were the type of fit attractive that made me feel like I needed to continue to work out harder and keep up. They all managed to sweat and look great, something definitely to strive for. I did not notice the guys quite the same way, but I did not notice them in a negative way. The equipment: They have a pretty reasonable selection of equipment for its location. It's not the largest space I've seen for a gym and they filled it pretty well. Despite a wall of treadmills, they did run out. Lots of free weights, benches, you'll have most of what you could think of here. Amenities: I can't speak for the men's locker, but the ladies - while it can get a little messy and wet - has a lot to offer. It has dry and wet sauna. The sinks have hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons, showers, the lockers are the larger 1 on top 1 on bottom and are more modern. In front of the classes, there are small lockers if you don't want to use the locker room. Bring Your Own: They do not have towels at this location. In addition would recommend you bring money or your own liquids. The store does offer coconut water, protein drinks and more. As a NYer I found the pricing just fine and liked the brands. If you're more budget conscious, there is a grocery store on the corner. Classes: They really have quite a lot of classes starting from 6:30/7am until later in the evening. I wish they had more classes on the weekend or had later hours, but I suspect Copenhagen has too much work life balance to find people who would open so late. The Zumba class I took was great. The instructor had a great vibe and managed to keep an eye on all the newbies. classes are 60 min long.

Conveniently located close to the main station. It's connected to the Radisson meaning that hotel…read moreguests can use it for free. They have the basic equipment for weightlifting, but a very limited set of weight plates, and some miss the rubber plates so the weight isn't what it's supposed to be. The bars don't have the weight printed on them which is a hassle and they only have a limited set of the softer weights so it makes warm up for eg. deadlift difficult. So all in all, it's basic but it works.

This branch of Fitness World is the closest one to me that offers classes so it's usually where I…read morego. The gym is four flours and has two large classrooms for the workout classes. There are weight areas on 3 of the 4 levels but cardio machines only on one, so if you go during peak times it may be hard to jump on the machine you want. This branch offers a lot of classes, which I really like. The locker room (at least the women's one) is a decent size. There are only 5 showers and one hair dryer though, which is problematic after an early morning class when everyone is trying to get ready at the same time. The showers are not very powerful and the more people showing at the same time, the less water that comes out of each of them. Water on every level of the gym, a big plus. Overall, not a bad location.
