Basic-Fit

I recently discovered a fantastic gym in Málaga, and I must say, it’s just a short 10-minute walk from my hotel! It’s a self-service gym, which is quite convenient—you simply sign up at the kiosk machine to gain entry. The space is impressively large and offers a wonderful variety of equipment to choose from. Plus, the day pass was very affordable, making it a great option for anyone looking to stay active while traveling!

Rarement vu un Basic Fit dans un état aussi pitoyable. Il y a quelques semaines déjà, la clim ne fonctionnait pas au rez de chaussée : un comble quand il fait 30degrés. Là depuis 2 jours plus d’eau : des toilettes bouchées remplies de sang et d’excréments, une odeur horrible évidemment, et meme pas de gel hydroalcoolique pour se laver les mains. En temps normal il n’y a que de l’eau chaude dans les toilettes (pour nous forcer à acheter de l’eau) et là on n’a même plus le privilège de boire de l’eau chaude tout est coupé! Sans parler d’une odeur de crotte infâme dans la salle et d’un vestiaire en travaux depuis 3 jours. À cela s’ajoute des gros sceaux partout pour ramasser l’eau qui tombe des climatiseurs depuis des mois, à croire que des travaux ne seront jamais effectués. Aussi ça fait plusieurs semaines que 3/4 machines sont en panne et personne ne les répare alors que l’affluence du club est toujours très élevée. Pour finir, la musique est horriblement forte (on entend à peine la musique de nos écouteurs) et quand on demande pour la baisser un petit peu, on me répond qu’elle est contrôlée par les Pays-Bas et qu’ils ne peuvent rien faire???? C’est quoi ce sketch??? Bref si vous pouvez, fuyez.

Basic fit is an Absolutely fabulous place if you go on holiday to Malaga and if you are a gym person like me. This gym is fantastic and is similar to the pure gym concept in London . Easy to get a day pass on the self serve machine, very flexible opening hours and I must say they have even better equipment than the pure gyms I have been to in London . People at the gym are very friendly and easy going, gym staff are available and very helpful if you need them. I went 4 days without fail, on my 5 day visit to Malaga. Had slight difficulty getting access on my last day and the lady assistant at the gym was so helpful and helped me to gain access without any unnecessary delays, couldn’t really ask for more than that. Overall a fantastic experience and highly recommended!

Siempre esta lleno, tiene un olor horrible el gimnasio y ya ni hablar de las duchas que si no está cortada el agua, huelen sus cañerías a muerto , parece que no se ha hecho un mantenimiento del lugar jamás Un año después siguen teniendo los mismos cubos para las perdidas de agua , que ni se han molestado en arreglar. Deja muchísimo que desear para el lugar donde está y para la cadena que es, cuando en otros centros están mucho mejor mantenidos y cuidados que este!

This Basic-Fit had everything I technically needed, the equipment is good and it's clean, but honestly, it was my worst gym experience so far. I trained there for about half a year because I lived nearby and the price is unbeatable – but that’s about the only real positive. The place had water leaks literally the whole time I was there, with buckets placed all over the gym. It always felt a bit neglected and messy. It was constantly overcrowded, and depending on the time of day, you’d often have to wait for machines – sometimes even one or two people ahead of you. They just don’t have enough equipment for the number of people training there. I never even tried using the free weights because the area was always packed, and I didn’t want to spend half my session waiting around. Leg training was also frustrating – there just isn’t enough gear to go around, especially during peak hours. What really bothered me, though, was the staff. They weren’t friendly at all. If you had an issue, like not getting through the turnstile, they wouldn’t even look up or help. No greeting when you walk in, no support when you need it. All in all, I only went because it was close and cheap. Otherwise, I would’ve switched immediately. That said, in the end I just adjusted my workout to work around those problems and still managed to get in great sessions. So if you’re flexible and just need a basic place to train, it can still do the job.

Definitivamente es el peor gimnasio que he pisado nunca. Cada día que voy hay algo nuevo, maquinas rotas, goteras, aires rotos, charcos, olores insoportables, se va la luz… y asi podría estar mi vida entera. Lo mejor de todo es que no hay solución, no se a que se dedicaran los tecnicos de alli o que soluciones pondran, pero en lugar de que el monitor del gimnasio esté pendiente de que no deje mis cosas en el suelo ( amenazandome ) podría intentar solucionar todas las goteras, que tienen el gimnasio lleno de cubos gigantes para que no se moje el suelo, y todas las maquinas rotas que hay. No le recomiendo este gimnasio ni a mi peor enemigo, se te quitan las ganas de entrenar, hay dias que parece que las mancuernas o bancos desaparecen y no puedes ni entrenar, pero eso no es asi, lo que pasa es que se rompen o desaparecen y no estan pendientes de poner mancuerneros o bancos nuevos. Por no hablar de la poca higiene que hay, que me han pegado hasta HONGOS en este gimnasio, lo barato sale caro…
