natalia war nett und hat mir das gym gezeigt
Viel zu warm. Keine Klima. Lüftung entweder kaputt oder schlicht leistingsarm.
Nice gym!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br><br>Ich bin jedes Mal gerne hier! Besonders Natalia möchte ich hervorheben. Sie ist immer unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und sorgt dafür, dass man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Das weiss ich wirklich sehr zu schätzen. Ihr toller Service und ihre positive Art machen den Unterschied. Vielen Dank, Natalia!
Overall, a pleasant gym with a great package for the price. There's plenty of equipment, a sauna, parking, and the staff are friendly and helpful.<br>On the downside, the gym lacks air conditioning. Dust is freely floating in the air. The training area downstairs becomes very hot, and you start sweating almost immediately. The changing rooms also get uncomfortably warm and could use more benches.<br>Another issue is the squat rack setup. It doesn't have a proper solid lifting platform for exercises like squats and deadlifts, which limits training options and can make heavy lifting less stable and potentially less safe.<br><br>Improving ventilation, the changing rooms, and the strength training area would make a significant difference.
Tolles Gym und wirklich hilfreiches Training. Besonders gefallen hat mir die Betreuung von Tom der alles gegeben hat und mir wirklich weiterhelfen konnte! Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen
I’ve been a customer at this gym for years. In the beginning, it was a great place to work out, but over time it has become far too crowded. You now have to be very careful with your belongings. I even lost my shirt there, which was very disappointing.<br><br>The gym doesn’t feel comfortable anymore because of how busy it is. I would switch to another gym as soon as possible, and unfortunately, I can’t recommend this one.
Lara ist eine hervorragende Mitarbeiterin – stets zuverlässig, engagiert und hilfsbereit. Die Zusammenarbeit mit ihr ist immer angenehm und professionell.
I've had a great experience at this gym. The facilities are always clean, the equipment is well maintained, and there's a really welcoming atmosphere.<br><br>The staff have been incredibly helpful, A special thank you to Tom, who went above and beyond to help me sort something out. He was professional, approachable, and made the whole process quick and stress-free.<br><br>I'd definitely recommend this gym to anyone.
