Ask Luxembourg How is the basic fit gym in Gasperich?

This question was probably asked a thousand times.

I am thinking about going there since i work not that far away from there and Basic fit Gare is apparently not a good one, but ive seen some really bad reviews about this one as well and was wondering if it‘s worth going there? Thanks in advance.

I was going there for a while and it's pretty okay.

I was always slightly bugged by the lack of windows, and it does get busy straight after work. But it's one of the few 24/7 gyms, so I used to go around 10/11pm to avoid the crowds.

I was going to the Jim‘s or what ever it‘s called at gare years ago and that Gym is underground. So no windows at all tho..

u/The_Dutch_Fox 7d ago

Then you're in for quite an upgrade! lmao

u/sadoul1980 7d ago

All depends what time you planning to go. Its not the largest basic fit imo. I go to the one in Foetz but been to the Gasperich one a few times. People are okay but less machines than others BFit. Like there only one chest press rack for example. Going after work like 5-6PM is going to be rough. Go before work imo

I was planning on going after work.. damn.

It's a circus after work, but if you manage to find time at like 15:00, it's golden.

There's like 4 showers in the men's room, so when it's busy, it's really not enough

u/Noobmaster698757 7d ago

I can‘t since i work until 17:00… in that case i just take a shower at home, that‘s not really the issue for me but if you can’t even train because it‘s too crowded at that time, then yeah am not sure.

u/sadoul1980 7d ago

What about before work?

u/mortdraken Kniddelen in the middelen 7d ago

As the others have said, it's ok and does the job. Most negative thing, is the parking is a bit naf, and people can't park in the lines. However the lines are also difficult to see.

I also think they don't have a space for the virtual fitness courses, but I could have missed it. They do have spin cycling though.

u/CarlitoSyrichta Eggnog & chill ™ 7d ago

Parking is very limited and only 1 fly machine. But overall ok, it has everything you need

1

u/Noobmaster698757 7d ago

So i guess it‘s also difficult to find a parking place if everyone goes there after work?!

2

u/CarlitoSyrichta Eggnog & chill ™ 7d ago

Yeah, but you might get lucky :)

I go at least 4 times a week (after work, around 6/7PM) and never had trouble finding a parking spot either inside or in the street.

1

u/Noobmaster698757 6d ago

Thats good to hear. And is it difficult to train at that time because it‘s to crowded?

1

u/Zestyclose_General11 6d ago

I never had any trouble with it, sometimes some bad timing for a certain machine which already has three people working in (I always ask up to two if it's ok, since I take long pauses between sets) but I just move on to another exercise whilst waiting for it to clear. All in all, it's a good gym, that could have a few more machines, but for beginners/intermediate lifters it's more than enough

u/Noobmaster698757 6d ago

Thank you for your help. I will maybe try and get a day pass and go from there.

2

u/dave_prcmddn 6d ago

Better than gare’s. Tbf, they both do the job.

u/CertainValue565 7d ago

It’s a crime that there are no student gyms here. In the Netherlands, we have a gym for students which costs like €130 a year.

Like, how do they expect people on little to no income to afford going to the gym???

u/Hopeful-Customer5185 4d ago

The normal ones are already packed enough I don’t know where they would fit

Just don’t shower there

1

u/Noobmaster698757 7d ago

Why tho? is it that bad?

1

u/dave_prcmddn 6d ago

No, its ok. A bit barebones but ok

1

u/polcruc 7d ago

It’s quite filthy. There’s a few other gyms in the area that might be worth the higher price.

1

u/Noobmaster698757 7d ago

Didn‘t Jim‘s take over Painworld? how is that one?

2

u/polcruc 7d ago

It’s decent but the equipment is on the older side

1

u/Noobmaster698757 7d ago

Thanks. Hard to find a decent Gym here in Luxembourg. There is always a catch…

2

u/polcruc 6d ago

Factory 4 is expensive but probably the best in the area. Also a new one will be opening in Howald l

1

u/Noobmaster698757 6d ago

Howald sounds interesting. Maybe i try a day pass for basic fit in Gasperich and see if i like there. Even after work at 5 and see how crowded it is. They got a pass like that right?

1

u/Noobmaster698757 6d ago

Factory is just to expensive for me. 50€ is what am willing to pay for a gym, not over 100

1

u/polcruc 6d ago

I get it. It’s only worth it if you go at least 4x a week imo
