Where can I find (good) fitness classes in GVA

Aug 24, 2015 @ 10:21

Hi guys!
I live close to Servette and Petit-Sanconnex and I'm currently looking for a gym or fitness class organization that holds classes such as bodypump, pilates etc.

(I've also searched for Spinning classes, but it doesn't seem to be very popular here! Boo.)

I checked out a few Silhouette gyms around this area, but majority of them run their workout classes in the middle of the day, with just one or two afternoon or early morning sets. Also, I wasn't too impressed with the establishment when I went to have a look-see.

I found a promising gym in Balexter (http://www.harmony.ch/club-fitness-geneve-balexert.php) that seems to be the most promising to date.

But can anyone else recommend good workout classes? Preferibly somewhat close to town. I know these memberships can be quite pricey and would like to get some input from someone with a bit of experience!

Thank you in advance!

Hi Lisa,

Not too keen on traditional gyms so can't really comment on the ones you mentioned.

However, I can recommend an excellent personal trainer called Amandine who has set up a 'Crossfit' place.

http://crossfitacross.com/

Even if crossfit is not your thing get in touch with Amandine as she may be able to help you find something that fits your needs.

Good luck.

Hi guys! Thank you so much for your reply!
I really liked the crossfit idea, but the price is pretty steep (~200€ per month)

I also checked the harmony gym I mentioned earlier, and they ask 745 CHF(!) for 3 months membership. In Helsinki where I lived before, I thought 70€ a month was a lot...

There is a 24/7 gym next to my house which has a very cheap membership BUT however they don't host any workout classes, and the heavy weights section is always overflowing with body-builder types that look at you funny when you stand around and 'cue' for the smith machine..argh.

Annoying. I just wanna go in, workout and go home. And I prefer workout classes anyway :(

Anyone else wit any input? Would be highly appreciated!

Thank you Khadija!
I could only find a mention about pilates on the site, but I will look into it more carefully once I get home! :)

HI Lisa,

Try Plaza Sport. See the summer program below. Normal program will be on again as from 6th September. They also have aqua gym sessions. I really like it and the trainers are very good.

California Fitness will be opening by Nations this fall. Their other location in Geneva offers spinning so maybe they will also have it at the new one.

I used to go to Holmes Place and they have spinning. Let's Go Fitness also has spinning.

Hi Lisa,

Most gyms/establishments have an option for a test lesson or a test period. This may be a good way to occupy yourself for a month sampling the various places/classes.

You can then choose the one which suits you best.
