Positive experience: I joined this gym because of its convenient location, as my regular gym is a bit farther away and harder to commit to during the colder winter months. For a hotel gym, it’s decent for getting a workout in. It’s on the smaller side, equipped with a few cardio machines, basic weight machines, free weights, and a power rack. While the equipment isn’t state-of-the-art, it gets the job done. The gym offers towel service, although there have been the odd days where towels are not available, which is something they could improve. Another area that could use attention is overall cleanliness, particularly in the shower areas, which would benefit from a more thorough cleaning. At €59 a month, the gym feels a bit overpriced for what it offers, but the major advantage is that it’s rarely busy—at least during the months I’ve been using it (December and January). That’s a big plus for anyone who values a quieter workout environment.

Fantastic experience: Lovely little gym with relatively new equipment. Certainly on the smaller side but it has all the basics. I've been to Nur and Beca's classes and they're great! Very friendly and fun instructors.

Fantastic experience: A welcoming and well-equipped gym. You get a well-designed mix of free weights, squat rack, cable machine and cardio. The team is especially approachable and pro-active. As TalbotFit has great-value day passes, it has become my favorite gym when staying in the area. You can buy access online and will receive a code to open the turnstile by email. Yes it's not very big, but it never gets crowded, not even in the pre/post-workday peak, unlike the nearby chain gyms. It's all about quality over quantity here.

Fantastic experience: The TalbotFit is a great “state of the art” gym which has everything you’d possibly need to optimise your fitness. The membership is only €35 a month and they have an extra studio where you can get away from the main gym and have more privacy to use the olympic barbell, bench, kettlebells and dumbbells. They also have a pretty cool steam room. It’s open Monday to Sunday too and there is plenty of down time if you want to use the gym to yourself. Just in case you wondered, no swimming pool there. You can ask to train with one of their friendly PTs too.

Fantastic experience: A bit on the small side but quite good for a hotel gym.

Positive experience: I signed up about a month ago precisely because it has a steam room and unfortunately the last three weeks it has not been working, and when you ask at reception when it will be working again they do not give you an answer. It's a shame because the gym is not bad equipped and there are never too many people. However, If I had known that the steam room would not be working most of the time, I definitely had chosen another option.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with state of the art machines. A great vibe and also reasonably priced on membership.
