How This Started
My fitness routine began at a small club near 3 Fitness Street in Paris. It was not perfect, but it was accessible, affordable, and it helped me build consistency.
After that place closed, I noticed how rapidly the fitness scene in France was evolving. New clubs opened, new concepts appeared, and marketing grew louder than real member experience.
I began trying various gyms and classes, taking notes after each visit. Over time those notes turned into this site, created to help others make clearer choices.
My Approach to Reviews
Each review here stems from actual visits and time spent inside the club. I focus on practical details that matter when picking a membership.
When I review a fitness center, I typically:
- Spend time to understand routines, peak times, and patterns
- Visit on different days and at different times
- Try multiple training formats and instructors
- Regularly use amenities to assess cleanliness and comfort
- Speak with other members about consistency
- Take notes right after each visit
I update reviews when major changes occur: renovations, management changes, pricing adjustments, or new facilities. Each article shows its last update date so you know how current the information 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 genuinely well-designed for members, with respectful boundaries and a calm atmosphere?
Equipment Quality: Are machines well-maintained? Is there enough variety? Do things get fixed promptly?
Crowd Management: Can you actually train during your preferred time without waiting constantly?
Clean Facilities: Locker rooms, showers, floors, and equipment surfaces. Cleanliness shows how seriously management treats the member experience.
Honest Membership Practices: Clear pricing, clear rules, and no unpleasant surprises.
Beyond the Gym
Outside of training and writing, I live and work in Paris. This project is here to make fitness choices easier and more transparent for people looking for the right environment.
