Very good place to work out. Cheapest gym i know, and isn't worse than competitors. Only minus is that, they don't have saunas. Machines though are great.
From what I know, this is one of the oldest Gym!-s in Tallinn, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is completely different from the newer ones. If you are looking for a gym to join in Mustamäe, then all things considered, I think it is the worst one in the whole area, not just compared to the other ones in the Gym! chain, but overall. The machines are not actually bad: like I said, many of them are different from the other branches, a bit more old school like, pretty much everything from Hammer Strength... but not bad (unilateral leg press, all kinds of plate loaded machines etc). The area is definitely on the smaller side, but FAR from what I would call SMALL, and they use up their space with mostly cardio machines and stretching/ calisthenics area, while still having only two squat racks and two benches... the design of which are so VASTLY different from what you see in other Gym!s and all the standard workout areas catering to people with all kinds of goals, that it pulls the quality of this place to your average hotel gym that no one ever uses. I get that it's located in a more "low-key" shopping centre/area, and maybe most people come here to work on the machines, but the entry price is still the same as other Gym! Branches. The barbells, the racks, the plates, the benches are kind of like a joke on all people who have grown to trust Gym! with the quality of their service. Õismäe and Ülemiste Gym!, for instance, are even offering a few powerlifter-standard barbells + racks, plates and benches that can decently serve someone who is serious about their training. And I would go as far as to say that equipment here is not safe to use with such heavy weights. I get that it may not be in Gym's best interest to replace the benches/racks with the same ones as the other branches have... but 40 kg plates and then no standard sized 25 kg plates... come on!? I guess the good thing is that people who get a subscription and get disappointed can use the same pass to go to Õismäe... but yeah. And extra star for the charging station tho
EDIT: FIXED, THANK YOU. NOW THERE'S LESS RAP MUSIC. 5 STARS. I will add more stars once this is fixed. Change the music. I'm tired of hearing rap music all day long. Every single day. Shitty rap music. Put the randomizer or something. PLEASE!!!!
Quite good, but very few stations to train free weights (compared to the amount of machines). Not too crowded, equipment was ok but not the latest.
The showers are dirty. No water cooler. This particular gym is on the older side but it's not a problem generally. The gym could use more frequent cleaning. Pretty crowded for it's size.
