Overall, it’s a good gym with a convenient location and a lot to offer. The facilities are clean, towels are included, there are group classes throughout the day, and the gym is open almost all year, which is a big plus. That said, I think there is room for improvement, especially considering the price and the way the gym is positioned as “premium.” Staff changes quite frequently, and the quality and competence of instructors can vary significantly. Group classes also seem to be changed quite often, which can make it difficult to find a class that you really enjoy and stick with. One particular issue is class capacity. For some popular classes involving mats and weights, more than 20 people are accepted, which can make the room quite crowded and leave very little space to exercise comfortably and safely. I also feel that some services come at an additional cost, which is something to keep in mind given the already relatively high membership price. Overall, it’s a good, clean and well-located gym with convenient opening hours and a good range of classes. However, in my opinion, the experience doesn’t consistently match the premium positioning and price.

I simply have to recognise Verónica Fernández because she is truly unique—both in the way she works with people and in her personality. She has everything you could wish for in a personal coach, and so much more. I have been a Holmes Place client since my twenties-and now I’m, let’s just say, “slightly” more at twice that age 😜. I have trained in several different countries and worked with many personal trainers along the way, yet Vero still stands out significantly. She designs every session to be effective but never boring-you genuinely want to keep coming back! Somehow 😉, she knows exactly when to push you, when to push you just a little further, and when your body needs her to ease off and take a gentler approach. What makes Vero particularly exceptional is her deep understanding of the human body. She doesn’t focus only on the workout itself; she knows how to prepare your body so that it feels good in the days that follow. I also struggle with recurring back pain, and somehow she manages to make it disappear with every session. Vero, you are simply the best-and absolutely amazing. Thank you for being you!

I’ve been a member for 5 years and have seen the gym evolve a lot. The good: - Staff are changing but overall always friendly and polite - Good equipment variety and feel safe. Quality is better than most gyms I’ve tried - Group classes are getting better The stuff that needs fixing: - Space is cramped, there’s always a chance to move and bump into someone (why do people do sit-up/abs around the squat rack area?) - People aren’t putting back plates, I’m constantly hunting around the whole gym just to find plates - The AC system is unreliable for a so called premium gym. It’s inconsistent across the club (can be cool at reception, hot in locker room, cool at free space area, hot in weight area) - Membership fees are already steep but still charging extra for paid events I hope I can see better progress and can revise up the rating in near future.

Best fitness in Lausanne, great classes and amazing atmosphere. If cleanness and quality matter to you, HolmesPlace is the place for you. The extended opening hours allow you fit perfectly for busy professionals with crazy schedules. Beyond the amenities and extensive equipments available, this gym has a great crowd - super friendly and respectful members. I met my husband and best friends in HolmesPlace, so I can only highly recommend.
