How This Started
My training routine began at a small gym near Via del Corso 210 in Rome. It wasn't perfect, yet it was approachable, affordable, and it helped me stay consistent.
After that place closed, I saw how fast the fitness scene in Italy was changing. New clubs opened, new ideas emerged, and marketing grew louder than actual member experiences.
I began trying different gyms and classes, jotting notes after each visit. Eventually those notes formed this site, designed to help others make better-informed choices.
My Approach to Reviews
Every review here is based on real visits and time spent inside the facilities. I focus on practical details that matter when selecting a membership.
When evaluating a gym, I usually:
- Dedicate enough time to understand routines, peak times, and trends
- Visit on various days and at different times
- Try multiple training formats and instructors
- Regularly use facilities to assess cleanliness and comfort
- Chat with other members about what's reliable and what's not
- Take notes right after each visit
I update reviews when changes occur: renovations, management shifts, price changes, or new amenities. Each article indicates its last update date so you know how current it is.
What I Look For
My priorities might differ from yours, so here is what matters most to me when evaluating a fitness center:
Comfort and Privacy: Does the space feel thoughtfully designed for members, with clear boundaries and a calm vibe?
Equipment Quality: Are machines well-maintained? Is there a good variety? Are repairs prompt?
Crowd Management: Is it feasible to train at your preferred times without constant queues?
Clean Facilities: Lockers, showers, floors, and surfaces. Cleanliness reflects how seriously management takes the member experience.
Honest Membership Practices: Clear pricing, clear rules, and no surprises.
Beyond the Gym
Outside of training and writing, I live and work in Rome. This project aims to simplify fitness decisions and make them more transparent for those seeking the right vibe.
