Vital Decosterstraat 19/23, 3000 Leuven, Belgium

Best Gym in belgium

А	Андрей Калинин on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Free weight area was in the basement, so the ceilings weren't high enough for some exercises (like military press). Plenty of machines though, and multiple squat racks. Not enough 20kg weights, so in the evening it's problematic to do exercises that require a lot of weight.
A	AL BLAIS on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I would rate it higher if it was more spacious but given the variety of equipment based on the total floor space, it's quite suitable. I like the convenience of the signing-in process and you can purchase day-passes for under 10 euros.
E	Ed Conroy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only has bear minimum equipment for a serious lifter (dumbbells only go to 36kg). One or two of the staff are over-zealous with enforcing some frivolous rules such as the NEED to use towels; wiping them down with eco-friendly paper towels is much more hygienic. Enforcing them to the point where it seems like one staff member in particular seems personally offended by it and has erected obnoxious signs around the gym. Not a nice environment. It's a shame because some of the staff are lovely and the customers are great. They also don't seem to be very good at fixing broken toilets or replacing things in there. Unfortunately, the only reasonably priced gym in Leuven. Not a great gym scene in Leuven, the good gyms are way overpriced.
C	Chris Farrell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Normally I would rate a basic fit with 3 squat racks highly but here they have no space suitable for deadlifts i.e. with floor protection or a platform such as many other basic fits have acquired recently. The changing rooms are crazy small considering the large unused space on the ground floor, plus the heating is on full blast in there meaning if you have a shower you come out immediately sweating! The pull up bars (on squat racks) are very close to the ceiling - mind your head! I guess this is what makes it 'basic'.
D	David Van Dijcke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not amazing. Often way overcrowded to the point that it's almost dangerous. I once had a guy almost drop a weight on my head cause everyone was packed so closely together. There is no clear distinction between the free weights zone and the stretching zone, which is part of the reason why such incidents happen. Hygiene is not great, some staff are friendly, some not so much. Roof is too low, as a tall person I cannot lift weights overhead. All in all I would find this gym fairly obnoxious were it not that the Basic Fit at the Vaart is quite decent.
L	Leuven FoodSharing on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Basic Fit Leuven don't have the capacity to meet their end of the bargain when I signed on during the pandemic. As a result, the contract is null and void. In Leuven's Vital Decosteerstraat branch, you can only typically book a session 2-3 days in advance. I had to make one booking on the 10th of June for the 14th. As someone running a tech startup, I rarely know my schedule to exercise 2 days in advance. So continuing to use Basic Fit is not feasible. The service is useless to me and the obligation of "providing the fitness area, with its equipment." signed in terms is not being met. When I sent an email to Basic Fit saying I am thinking of cancelling my membership for this reason and various others, I got an email back to say I can cancel my membership. When I try to do that, it says I need to continue paying for half a year. My membership number is 369016905. Please contact me via email and let me cancel my subscription + refund. Otherwise, please refund me for every day I can't use the gym. Usually I would go every day, but now, I can't. Because your booking system is far too long notice to work.
K	Kai Knamed on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Often dirty and out of papers. Showers often not well kept. Toilet smelly. And especially one of the staff member is too often doing his own fitness instead of taking care of the client, leaving phones ringing not answered and clients waiting at reception desk.
J	Juan Verkeyn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quite crowded and lack of sunlight and fresh air - Has lots of cardio equipment for people who are into that. Virtual spinning classes are really fun to do! Make sure to connect to the correct Wifi to use this.
