Swan Gymnastic Center - Florence, Metropolitan City of Florence

Cristina Liñero

Gimnasio en el centro de Florencia, a 5 minutos del Duomo. Buen equipamiento y varias zonas de trabajo. Tienen clases programadas pero en mi caso atendí sesiones con entrenador personal @zago_pt. Vestuario amplio y con taquillas grandes. Sin duda volveré el año que viene en mi próxima estancia en Florencia

Gimnasio Masomenos. Cuando me anoté, decían tener clases de fit box y resulta que no. Estuve yendo a entrenar un mes, y por accidente (cuando ya estaba en mis últimos días) perdí la credencial. Cabe aclarar que es algo que nunca me pasó, ni en mi país ni en ningún lado. Me tiraron la bronca y me dijeron que no es problema de ellos. Si bien me dejaron Seguir entrenando, me pareció una respuesta inadecuada. Para colmo soy extranjera, hablo italiano como puedo pero me doy cuenta cuando me contestan mal. Los Locker son tamaño hobbit. Las clases de gag Y body sculpt estan buenas y las profesoras son amables. Las máquinas andan todas ok. El gimnasio abre, para mí parecer, muy tarde, pero desconozco si es costumbre del pais, ya que en Argentina abren como a las siete. De todos modos, no volvería a anotarme en este gimnasio dónde pagas 95 euros el mes y te lloran por un cartón. Es algo que le puede pasar a cualquier persona! La verdad, me dió una bronca terrible

Staying in central Florence this appeared to be the best rated gym. After joining for a fortnight I can say, the ratings were correct. The equipment is well selected for such a small space, the gym is clean and well maintained. The owner was always on duty and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended this gym and please remember gym etiquette and always re rack your weights, thanks Swan for the cheeky grinds!

Straight off the bat: any gym that plays Elvis, Elton John, Queen, The Beatles and Springsteen gets my money.

Alas, I didn’t know that upon signing up and it was a fantastic bonus of my two week pass for €55.

Very cramped at peak hours but, outside of those, it’s a great place to train. They’ve got a squat rack, plenty of free weights and benches, and lots of cardio equipment. Showers and changing facilities are basic but it’s everything you need.

Rock on Swan.

Highly recommended. I return year after year for a two month stay. Have tried other gyms however Swan offers the best range of equipment. Pricing is fair.

So, back again after a year. It looks like they just moved a couple of machines around to reinvent the flow...but nothing new. The pec dec machine seems to be missing. What irkes me is they only have 3 stationary bikes. Each one's different, a recombent, a Peloton type and a regular one. All 3 bikes are in the middle of two opposite rows of treadmills all facing the bikes in a very tight space. Very uncomfortable. Normally this equipment is placed facing in one direction. If I had one wish, I'd have them rework this spot.

One month sign up fee was 90€. They'll issue you a card which you'll turn in every time you enter and pick up when you leave. The gym is small, really small, but enough weights to keep the strength and size away from home. Every once in a while they'll move a couple of machines around to reinvent the space but you can't create space...it's always a tight fit. If it's an Italian Holiday the gym is closed all day.

A good but limited variety of machines. Oddly a Hammer strength like military and straight press, and not an incline ( my favorite). Only one preacher bench, and only one curl bar for the whole gym. If somebody grabs it for french curls you're gonna have to wait til they're done. Same thing with the two flat bench press and one incline bench press rack.

One free weight squat rack and one Smith's machine rack. If you're benching or squatting 405# you'll be using half the 20kg plates in the gym. Eventhough there are signs not to do this ...I've seen someone take the olympic bar to do floor hip lifts. There is no free weight leg press just the stack weight one. The dumbles are limited and only go up to 40kg / 90 lbs. They've got 3 or 4 adjustable benches in the smallish dumbell room. There is a second floor laminate floor area seemingly for group classes.

On the other hand people put their weights away which is pretty nice. Showers are free, clean, with hot water, bring soap and a towel. They have good sized lockers in the changing rooms. Bring a lock or they can lend you a (free) key to their small lockers, for wallets etc, which are right up across from the front desk.

They've got plenty of stair masters, and treadmills but something like three stationary bikes, one of them recombinant. Front desk person is nice.

I heard gyms outside the city center are cheaper but if you're too far to keep going consistently..what's the point.
