How This Started
My fitness routine began in a small club near Via della Salute 12 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 enough time to understand routines, peak hours, and patterns
- Visit on different days and at different times
- Try multiple training formats and coaches
- Use amenities regularly to assess cleanliness and comfort
- Speak with other members about consistency and issues
- Record notes right after each visit
I update reviews when there are significant changes: renovations, changes in management, price adjustments, or new facilities. Each article displays its most recent update date so you can gauge how current the information remains.
What I Look For
My priorities may differ from yours, so here is what I value most 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 in Rome and work there. This project is here to make fitness choices easier and more transparent for people looking for the right environment.
