How This Started
My fitness routine began in a small club near Viale della Forma in Rome. It was not perfect, but it was accessible, affordable, and it helped me build consistency.
After that place closed, I noticed how quickly the fitness scene in Italy was evolving. New clubs opened, new concepts appeared, and marketing became louder than real member experience.
I started trying different gyms and classes, keeping notes after every visit. Over time those notes turned into this website, built to help others make clearer choices.
My Approach to Reviews
Every review on this site comes from real visits and real time spent inside the club. I focus on practical details that matter when you are choosing a membership.
When I review a fitness center, I typically:
- Spend sufficient time to grasp routines, peak times, and patterns
- Visit on various 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 and gaps
- Take notes right after each visit
I update reviews when major changes occur: renovations, management shifts, price adjustments, or new facilities. Every article shows its last update date so you can gauge how current the information is.
What I Look For
My priorities may differ from yours, so here is what matters most to me when judging a fitness center:
Comfort and Privacy: Does the space feel thoughtfully designed for members, with clear boundaries and a tranquil vibe?
Equipment Quality: Are machines well-maintained? Is there sufficient variety? Are repairs prompt?
Crowd Management: Can you train during your preferred hours without constant queues?
Clean Facilities: Locker rooms, showers, floors, and equipment surfaces. Cleanliness reflects how seriously management takes the member experience.
Honest Membership Practices: Transparent 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 environment.
