32 gyms, studios and pools within cycling distance, and seven of them are inside a kilometre. The plan is to try before we commit: trials and a flexible pass until we leave on 15 January, then a permanent membership once we are back in May.

  1. Now
    Free trials first. Twenty places let us try for nothing: Anytime Fitness gives 7 days, every TrainMore one day each, Uplift three sessions, and Zuiver, NXT LVL, Happy Bodies and fit20 a free intro.
  2. Until Jan
    A pass we can drop. Two networks cover most of the shortlist on one monthly plan. ClassPass has 13 of these, including Mobilis, Vondelgym, three TrainMores, Clubsportive's gym, Zuiver and both pools . Urban Sports Club (what OneFit became) has 11, including Anytime Fitness and Basic-Fit, usually capped at 4 visits a month per place . Or a monthly membership at whichever trial wins.
  3. From May
    Commit. Nothing here pauses for four months of travel, so a year contract signed before January pays for dead months. Signed after May, it doesn't.

Urban Sports Club prices are per person on the monthly contract, which is the only one that can be cancelled or paused (annual contracts cannot). One of their own pages says pausing isn't possible at all, their help centre says 1 to 6 months free, so check before relying on it.

ClassPass sells credits per month: 11 for €19, 30 for €45, 47 for €69, 68 for €99, 80 for €115, 140 for €199, per person. How many credits a visit costs varies by place and time and is only shown when logged in. Watch the exclusions: at Clubsportive the pool is not included, and Zuiver's spa has been excluded since November 2023. Anytime Fitness and Basic-Fit are not on ClassPass. For those, Urban Sports Club is the route.

Why a pause doesn't exist: there is no legal right to freeze a gym membership here, and the standard industry terms only allow it for a documented injury or illness. SportCity says it outright: "Je kunt niet bevriezen als je op vakantie gaat of een tijd naar het buitenland gaat." The one exception is David Lloyd, at 25% of the fee. Anytime Fitness sidesteps it differently: its membership works in 5.000+ clubs in 30+ countries, Asia included.

What we are optimising for: whichever one you like, because that is what decides whether it sticks · mornings, since anything opening at 08:00 is decoration · something to hang from, the one thing nothing at home loads (a free bar four minutes away might fix that for nothing) · Hyrox and CrossFit stay my separate problem.
