Friendly staff. Good selection of workout opportunities.
Very unfriendly staff, bad customer service, old equipment and ridiculous facilities, definitely not Platinum level.
In Munich they also sold 2 gyms within few months but they refuse to adjust price on my contract. Very disappointed!!!
Always busy. Need to plan on either a super early or late session in order not to be overwhelmed. Reasonable equipment in a layout to be expected from a high rent area, but locker rooms and supplementary services not in line with what one would hope for given the price.
The attitude of the sale person is very very bad, all the stuffs are crowded. I don't think it deserved this money! When I went to cancel my contract, they told me I need to tell them in advance of 3 months, but the sale person never explained this to me, which made me really angry! The services in the club are not good at all! I think the fitnessfirst at Laim is much more better than this one.
Yes, it is crowded during the rush hours, but there are five FF Studios more in M where you can go (I usually go to Einsteinstr. wheee less people are). All in all it's a great place to to do your work out. Friendly stuff, very good equipment and nice atmosphere.
I visited Fitness First Schwabing today for the first time and was relieved that it did not resemble at all the negative reviews I had read prior to visiting (they almost put me off visiting).
I'm glad I came, my summary from today's visit:
I visited from 08:15 to 10:00am.
Staff : the front desk staff were helpful and friendly and dealt with my questions happily. I received a nice goodbye as I left saying "see you tomorrow" :)
Gym facility : well it's a gym - not a five star spa at a five star hotel. So it's practical, clean and the equipment is absolutely fine.
Cardio area is large and plenty of choice. All equipment works well and as expected. I've been to some gyms where the cardio equipment is newer, but plenty where it is older(including in Munich).
The free weights area is fine, plenty of choice and easy to find what you need.
The surprise for me was the machine weights area up some stairs. The equipment was great, usually represented by more than one type of exercise per body part. I don't understand why that has been on the complaints list !! Plenty of machines, all working well and all in good condition. Some had dust on them - but is a gym !!! It felt clean and well maintained to me.
I didn't do any classes, so can't comment on that. People I saw working out were friendly and seemed happy.
Changing Room : was pretty modern, good lockers with electronic locks. A couple were broken - but if I hadn't read the negative reviews prior to my visit today, I might not have noticed.
So in summary - good gym that is at a similar level to many big name gym chains here in Munich and internationally. It has a great location and is a decent size. The people (Staff and guests) are friendly and open.
I can certainly recommend visiting.
Great place to do exercise if you're in the city
Wow! I'm surprised at all the bad reviews here as my experience has been quite the opposite. The gym itself is split between three levels, the main level hosting a great Freeletics open space equipped with sandbags, medicine balls, battle ropes, etc.
They don't offer a ton of classes but the MoveIt class on Mon. and Wed. mornings is an excellent way to start the day. Abdul us an amazing instructor!! Zumba, spinning, pilates, weight lifting, yoga have all been good (not great) too.
The women's locker room is clean and calm plus there's a women-only sauna and steam room. Reception is friendly as are the gym members themselves.
Honestly, it's a pleasure to work out here! (Note: I usually go on off hours so cannot comment on how crowded it gets post 5pm.)
Totally unprofessional management. Clients are not treated with due respect. Club is pretty overloaded and does not care to do anything to comfort its clients. Hygiene is pretty bad - showers smelly and equipment is often broken for days. Trainings often start delayed.
Staff does not understand that they are providing a service - seams like they are pissed off that there is clients working out.
The only good thing is some nice members of reception staff.
Better try Body and Soul or Elements.
