Holmes Place

It's pretty important for me to write this review after being subscribed to this club for more than 4 years. It's a huge shame to see the deterioration of the place, both in terms of the staff - with constant changes and many good employees being fired for no reason - and the facility itself, which is quite outdated and poorly equipped.After being a member of this club for 4 years, it's disappointing to witness the decline in both staff quality and the condition of the club's facilities. The gym equipment is outdated compared to cheaper gyms with better technology. What's even more concerning is how the director seems more focused on micromanaging employees than maintaining the gym's reputation as a Holmes Place. This is by far the worst Holmes Place experience I've had. What a shame!

Espectacular. Hemos ido hoy a informarnos y la experiencia ha sido espectacular. Nos ha atendido Fer: amable, agradable, paciente y muy resolutiva. Nos hemos sentido muy cómodos en todo momento y sin nada de presión. Hemos ido a probar algún gimnasio de la zona y la atención recibida en Holmes Place ha sido extraordinaria, nada que ver con la competencia.Las instalaciones están muy bien, muy limpio todo (siempre hay personal limpiando, y muy amable).Si que es verdad que consideramos que ciertas máquinas podrían estar más actualizadas por el precio de la cuota.Es una barbaridad poder entrenar en plena tarde con el aforo de este gimnasio, un “lujazo” en pleno centro de Barcelona.¡Muchas gracias Holmes Place!

Club muy acogedor dónde se puede entrenar muy bien. Mención especial para mi entrenador personal, Victor. Un entrenador dinámico, sonriente y dedicado. Sabe llevarte al límite con capacidad de escucha para combinar tu vida personal y profesional con tus objetivos deportivos. Sin duda, lo recomiendo.

The changing rooms lack proper ventilation, making them uncomfortably humid. The gym has been without ventilation for over three months, and the sauna remained non-functional throughout the summer. The class-rooms have slippery floors, hindering correct exercise execution. The showers are difficult to control, providing only cold water.Despite reaching out to the manager and the complaint team, they offered no help or understanding. While they promote “two months free”, it seems they cut costs by neglecting AC, sauna, and hot water issues. It's hard to believe this gym qualifies as premium." I definitely not recommend to pay 90euro/m for this gym.A notable positive aspect is the amiable and friendly staff! It appears that the issues lie within the realm of management…"

Strongly advise you NOT to go to this gym. Their contracts are tricky. I purchased 3 months package and later found out that they have charged me for the 4th month. When I reached out to client service asking for a refund, they told me they can’t do anything. Moreover, they will charge me for the 5th month because if I wanted to end the contract I needed to notify them 1 month before! Ridiculous. To remind you: I purchased THREE months package.Generally it is not a great gym, definitely not premium and doesn’t worth c.95 eur. The equipment is old and rusty. Some machines are always busy, it’s impossible to work out.My “favorite” thing about this gym is lack of air conditioning. During the hottest month it wasn’t functioning at all. Now it works, but still poorly, eg in a group class room the temperature is 26 C, it’s very humid and smells terrible.The staff is nice and attentive tho.

I would recommend Holmes Place Balmes to anyone in Barcelona looking for a high quality, friendly gym home. The facilities are spacious and practical. It’s a premium feel without being pretentious: everyone here comes to work out and improve themselves, not to be seen or to pose. Unlike other gyms I have used, facilities are never crowded. The equipment provides a perfect balance for those who want to challenge their bodies using technology, and those who want to use their own body as a machine.If I could take off half a point, it would be because I wish the cafe was back and that the air conditioning was stronger.I would like to mention VICTOR GOMEZ in particular for being a standout personal trainer and the reason I came to love the gym again after more than a year without guided training. Victor’s expertise, encouragement, and sense of humour have helped me regain my strength, fitness, and form after a long time off. I am so grateful to him for all of his time, support, and skill. You’re the best, Victaaaaahhh!Finally, thanks to Dani, Augustina, and others at the Holmes Place Balmes team who always make me feel like a friend, and not a customer. See you guys tomorrow!

An expensive fitness club with outdated equipment and a lack of natural light. The club needs a renovation and equipment update. Good location and friendly staff, however, the current pricing cannot be justified.

Un deterioro del gimnasio y del servicio a pasos agigantados. Llevamos tres meses sin aire acondicionado en unas condiciones inaceptables. No hay excusa para alargar está situación tanto tiempo. Tampoco hay buena voluntad con una bonificación en las cuotas. Seguimos pagando casi 100 euros mensuales. Ahora también quitan horas de los monitores expertos y antiguos y ponen gente sin experiencia. Aún están a tiempo de cambiar su política y su dirección o se les va la gente.

many exercise machines are broken, saunas are constantly not working, there is a lot of dirt in the showers. It’s stuffy and the air conditioners look like bulky devices, blocking the passages. They want 100 euros a month for this horror! I've been a member of this sports club for over five years, but I've had enough
