Sportcity Waterloo Amsterdam - Gym in NK Amsterdam

I workout in the club 3 years in a row, I am recovering and looking to expand my mobility. I can understand why some other members complain but for me it's excactly what I need. Extended functional zone with a variety of rehab equipment usually gezellig but not packed. After the manager change, the atmosphere is better within the employee team and the gym in general. The cleaner that I see some complaints about is a chill guy and for me it makes the place more fun and keeps up the spirit. I think that the wooden chairs outside the sauna need to be deep cleaned because sometimes as I get seated a smell comes out. There are also some other regulars in the club and I enjoy seeing familiar faces every now and then. If they install an accessible hangbar for pullups and stretching I will give 6 stars (the one they have now is a splitbar in a mulmtimachine which is usually occupied). Overall, I recognize the progress overtime (yay mirrors), kudos! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update: I am lowering my rating by one star because of the club T-shirt present made of polyester (worst possible choice for the skin and environment) and because the sauna chairs keep smelling terrible.

This has been my gym for a few months and it's great. Not too crowded, the playlist is amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a big need for more equipment e.g lying leg curl machine - this is standard equipment every gym should have. They also need to invest in ventilation, the mens changing rooms smells at times. it's extremely hot in the area downstairs with no fan or proper ventilation or circulation. This is extremely unhygienic.

The good - great classes selection with good teachers and spacious area. Nice staf, easy check in/check out, pleasant reception area. The bad - opening hours are very minimal. The free weights section is extremely limited with uncomfortable gear (eg no dedicated chest press bench). The machines section is missing a lot of common staple machines (eg chest flies). I do a lot of classes so for me that's the main draw for the gym, if i were to only do the weights and machines, I think I would go elsewhere.

Too much machines and not enough racks for weight lifting. I thing the biggest issue for me is hygiene. I went to the gym for 3 months and I saw the same dust and salt crusts every time. It is not really enforced that the Member should clean the machine after use. Everything feels a bit sticky on this gym. For the high price, I definitely expect more from a gym.
