Our Take
A quiet, no-frills budget gym in St. Johann with strong staff culture, limited class offering, and restricted weekend hours.
Pick PureGym St. Johann if you live nearby, train independently, and want the flexibility of a monthly contract — just check the weekend hours fit your schedule.

Coucou S.Pure Gym St. Johann is an amazing place. Especially Mr Dinel who helped us register and showed us the rules. I really appreciate and recomment this place. Please do not hesitate to come here!
Aleyna K.Bit is an "okay" gym. the gym does not have an a/c, during cardio it is impossible to breathe since it is an closed environment , the windows ofc not enough during hot summer days. i can not do long cardios :( opens late for the ones who has a job. the customer service is responsive if you email them and explains well. the water is not free lol. machines are fine but too close to each other.
Facundo RivaderoPlease bring back Nautilus Machines they are the best machines. Please!
Sandra FryWell equipped and maintained gym with a great selection of cardio equipment and weight options. Staff are friendly, knowledgable and work hard to keep gym clean.
Gerry CruzI actually like it. No-fuzz kind of gym. You go, train, shower and get out. Which is what most of us do anyway. Place is clean and just enough space. Equipment are new. Not a lot of people based on my experience - there is always equipment you can use. Treadmill can be improved - the surface seems to be arching up. Crowd is ok - not the rowdy kind with high-fives all around (hate those posers in other gyms!). Staff are ok, can be friendlier. Overall great, not stellar but just basic reliable workout space. Good value for money.
