Florence Fitness

Esperienza fantastica: Florence Fitness is the best gym in Florence! I've been training at this gym ever since I lived in Florence in 2015 and every time I have returned to visit for the past 10 years. I also own the luxury travel agency, Fatto a Mano Travel, and I always recommend my athletic clients visit Florence Fitness while they're in Florence. I've trained at many of the gyms in the historic center and they all have one thing in common: they're small. Florence Fitness is directly in the historic center of Florence, just steps away from Piazza Santa Maria Novella and a short walk from the Arno River. Florence Fitness has made an incredible use of space with all of the free weights, machines, and cardio equipment one needs to train. They also have tons of space for stretching and offer classes if you're keen for group training. After a couple months of training at FF, my wife and I quickly became friends with the owner, Dario, and we have remained close friends for these past 10 years. He's an incredibly kind person who loves fitness and wants to create a comfortable environment in which everyone can come together to train and have fun. We love you and FF, Dario! Thanks for building the perfect gym in the historic center of Florence!

Esperienza fantastica: Very good gym with nice staff and good equipment

Esperienza fantastica: Had a really nice experience training here for a few weeks! I was a bit worried to subscribe after reading the reviews especially regarding the heat and lack of AC but for me it wasn't as described in some post here. In my experience the AC in the gym makes the place cold enough for a good training session. In some days it was close to 40 degrees outside and yes I could feel the heat also inside but managed to find spots to cool down between sets so nothing that hold me back during my training. After checking 3 other places in the center area in my opinion the price value was definitely worth it. The stuff was super nice and helpful plus there is a great variety of machines and equipment that are well preserved and gives a lot of training options

Esperienza fantastica: Because of a not so pleasant experience, that I had with the girl at the front desk, I did left a 1 star review a few weeks ago. Talking to Dario, the owner, we managed to fix it. It s a nice gym, perfect equipped, and perfect location. Recommend ✨

Esperienza fantastica: Buongiorno, Non sono uno "social" pero ho sentito il dovere di lasciare questo commento. Varie volte ho sentito la gente lamentarsi per l'aria condizionata assente in questa palestra. Io pa frequento da febbraio per più di 4 volte a settimana. Ho avuto l'occasione di conoscere anche il proprietario, Dario, che si e dimostrato molto disponibile quando necessario. Si, ad un certo punto faceva molto caldo, ma chiedendo alla reception hanno provveduto subito. Quindi, a parole povere e per quanto mi riguarda, mi trovo molto bene e continuerò ad andarci. Grazie

Esperienza fantastica: Friendly staff - ~$15/day for guest pass. Plenty of weights, room for core/yoga, stretch, and machine

Esperienza positiva: Decent spot but machines are very poorly maintained and ac is severely underpowered for the space and summer weather. Probably won’t be coming back.

Esperienza fantastica: Florence Fitness è molto più di una semplice palestra: è una vera famiglia. L’ambiente è accogliente e motivante, le macchine sono moderne e sempre perfettamente funzionanti, ideali per ogni tipo di allenamento. Un ringraziamento speciale va a Gabriele, il personal trainer che mi segue da un anno con grande passione e competenza. Grazie ai suoi consigli e ai suoi programmi personalizzati, sono tornato tonico e in forma, con un fisico che in molti mi invidiano. Consiglio Florence Fitness a chiunque cerchi non solo risultati concreti, ma anche un posto dove sentirsi davvero a casa.

Esperienza fantastica: Everything you need, gym very clean and staff super nice

Esperienza negativa: Credo che sia l'unico posto al mondo dove sono entrato per allenarmi e, con oltre 27 gradi e molto umido, sono dovuto allenarmi in una stanza con 9 altre persone senza aria condizionata. Ripeto, senza aria condizionata... fatevi un idea

Esperienza negativa: The gym has medium or good equipment, but it is unacceptable, in 2025, not yet to have air conditioning and only one fan. Consequently, the place becomes dirty and smelly.

Esperienza positiva: That’s quite nice but it will be great if there is a squat rack:)

Esperienza fantastica: Spent 2 months in Florence and unfortunately first booked a 2 month pass at Swan Gym in the city center. After about 6 weeks I misplaced my small membership card. Ended up being glad I did as I ended up trying Florence Fitness for my final 2 weeks. While there are not as many free weights, you still have everything you need for a good workout. They are far more organized with their machine placement as well, with a dedicated leg room, upper body machine room, free weight room, and cardio floor. Additionally their staff is all very friendly which is stark contrast from the unfriendly owner that “greets” you at Swan.

Esperienza positiva: Pretty decent gym with a fair amount of equipment. €15 euros for a day pass which is not cheap but it is in the centre of town. My main complaint is that there is no air conditioning, so even at 08:00 it is very hot in there!

Esperienza fantastica: I am traveling from out of the country and you can purchase a day pass for 15 euros. I think the weight lifting equipment was good to get a strength training session in. I used the Smith machine and it was great! They had free small lockers for small items like wallets but bigger lockers you need to bring your own lock for bigger bookbags and stuff. It helped so much traveling for 3 weeks to have a place to workout!

Esperienza fantastica: I was visiting Florence for a week. This gym sells day and week passes for fair prices. They have a good mixture of free weights, strength machines, and cardio machines. The employees and customers were all very nice.

Esperienza fantastica: I highly recommend FF.. well equipped with rather modern equipment for both your cardio and resistance training. Very polite staff too !! I used the daily pass half of the days during my short business/training trip in Florence. I hope we meet again !

Esperienza fantastica: Es buen deal en relación precio-calidad. Las máquinas son modernas y le dan mantenimiento regularmente. Siempre está limpio. Mi única queja es que hay muy poca variedad de máquinas y esta demasiado concurrido.

Esperienza positiva: 머신이 다양하지않아도 의외의 맛집 머신들이 몇가지 있습니다. 스미스랑 렉은 하나씩이었지만 전신 돌리기에 괜찮았음. + 신기하게도 어깨 머신은 하나도 없어서 케이블이랑 덤벨로 함 하루 15유로 이틀 25유로

Esperienza fantastica: Si estás unos días en Florencia de vacaciones, este es tu gimnasio. Céntrico, variedad de máquinas y pesas más que suficiente para entrenar unos días, y ambiente perfecto (ya que apenas se llena y se entrena cómodo). 4 salas diferentes, una con peso libre e incluso banca y multipower. También zona de cardio. Los vestuarios también muy bien, con duchas. De todo lo que hay por la zona, de lo mejor sin duda.

Esperienza fantastica: Good gym easily gets the job done when travelling. Day pass was 15euros. Small free weights section which I suspect gets busy peak times but was fine for the when I went. Lots of other areas with weight and cardio machines. Good location very central.

Esperienza positiva: Pase diario 15€, un poco elevado pero si quieres entrenar y estás de vacaciones, lo pagas. Tiene variedad de máquinas, aunque el espacio es reducido. Todo está muy junto y hay bastante gente

Esperienza fantastica:

Esperienza positiva: Decent gym in Florence for visitors and travellers if you are not looking for a squat rack. Friendly staff, central location, but not fully equipped as a lifting gym. Does have a great studio space upstairs.

Esperienza fantastica: I was a member of the gym and have to say , it is one of the best gym . The location is great , the equipments are so clean and modern and the stuff are very friendly and helpful . Really recommend the gym

Esperienza fantastica: Well equipped and clean gym with friendly staff.

Esperienza fantastica: I like this gym , it’s clean , perfect position in the centre of florence It has Good equipments requires for a gym Highly recommend

Esperienza fantastica: Great little gym With small locker in the front for valuables and locker in the changing rooms Both are provided w keys On the second floor there are free weights and machines I was able to perform a full workout The gym is on the centre and it is 15 € for daily use I showered in hotel so do have showers

Esperienza fantastica: We tried to buy water from the vending machine and it ran out of stock - out fault. We asked if anything could be done, and nothing could be done. Instead of just going about her day, Sara from reception went out of her way to buy us a big bottle of water from elsewhere to compensate. This was really nice and unexpected and it really made our day. We appreciate you Sara, thank you!

Esperienza fantastica: Bom para um treino rápido!

Esperienza fantastica: Tra le diverse palestre che ho provato a Firenze questa è senza dubbio quella in cui sono stato meglio. La sala attrezzi non è gigante ma comunque dotata di tutti i macchinari e attrezzi necessari per allenarsi al meglio, l’attrezzatura, inoltre, è nuova e ben tenuta. Il vero punto forte però è il personale, sempre molto gentile e disponibile. Dovessi tornare a Firenze in futuro senza dubbio sceglierei nuovamente FlorenceFitness. 5 stelle solamente perché non se ne possono dar di più

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra ottima e ben attrezzata per vari tipi di allenamento. Il personale è sempre pronto ad accoglierti con un sorriso e ad aiutare per qualsiasi dubbio o necessità. Consigliatissima a chi cerca un ambiente positivo, motivante e familiare!

Esperienza positiva: Buona per turisti , o per i lavoranti in pausa pranzo, palestra molto piccola 3 panche in sala pesi, più di 10 persone e fai fatica ad allenarti, le docce sono piccole poca pressione dell' acqua, la privacy maschile è relativa, se apri lo spogliatoio ti affacci direttamente sulla zona cardio.

Esperienza fantastica: I have been going to this gym for the past year now and I truly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym in the centre of Florence. The staff is very welcoming and they have made it feel like home. It has all the equipment you need for a workout and you pay a very reasonable price for your membership!

Esperienza negativa: Dirty showers, no shampoo or shower gel, small spaces packed with equipment and people in a "delicate building" one cannot use barbells freely. The owner had a respectful yet irrational argument with me telling that "these kind of exercises are not allowed here" because the building is delicate (lightweight fully controlled power snatch). Replying that the barbell is moved in a fully controlled manner, he ended up telling me that it is "my rule". One of the strangest encounters I ever had in a fitness studio having trained in many countries across different cultures. Not a place to train professionally imho. Wishing them all the best

Esperienza negativa: I personally do not recommend this gym. I've been here for 3 months, I've developed my idea and it's not positive. The location and machinery are good, but for €95 a month I expect friendly and helpful staff (which should be the bare minimum but apparently isn't). In 3 months I have never received help, on the contrary, the girl who was there most of the time gives a contemptuous look to the beginners. Don't expect advice, kindness or help, not at Florence Fitness. I had an accident with the locker, I couldn't find my things and instead of helping me the girl in question kept telling me "are you sure? But look, these things don't happen with us”, no offense, but I wouldn't joke about losing all my possessions. We managed to find everything in another locker, my bag was open so I'm sure someone went through it but I was relieved, I then apologized to the girl, she didn't say anything to me, she gave me a look of contempt, she turned her back and left, not a word. This was the straw that broke the camel's back, but I assure you that I have had several negative episodes. For 3 months I only saw derision on her face, and that shouldn't happen anywhere, especially if it's a job where you have to deal with people. I hope that one day the Florence Fitness staff wake up, this is no way to keep a business open. I'm sure you can find better gyms in Florence. My membership is about to expire, and I have absolutely no intention of returning or renewing it.

Esperienza fantastica: Florence Fitness was my gym of choice in Florence! Despite being much smaller and more cramped than what I am used to in the United States, the gym is very close to my hotel and it had everything that I needed!

Esperienza fantastica: Excelente lugar para entrenar todos los grupos musculares. Buenas máquinas y peso libre. Todos muy educados

Esperienza positiva: La salle de sport est très nickel J'ai beaucoup kiffé

Esperienza fantastica: Salle trés belle

Esperienza positiva: Solid backup gym when traveling! Missing a squat rack and DB only go up to 32kg, but otherwise the minimal essentials are there and there are some good machines (but some things are missing). Weight room area where most of the free weights are is pretty small though

Esperienza positiva: Salle de sport très bien située, surtout pour les touristes de passage à Florence Parquet au sol et tableau aux murs (on est à Florence quand même) Le prix à la séance est de 15€ (ça m'a semblé cher mais c'est bon marché par rapport aux autres salles de Florence) La salle est tout équipée (manque juste un rack de squat libre) et pas trop fréquentée. Petit point negatif sur l'aération que j'ai trouvé un peu limite Je recommande

Esperienza fantastica: Super salle de fitness j’ai fait mon entraînement l’as bas je suis ressortit comme baki

Esperienza positiva: Specific to bodybuilders: As someone who craves a typical Gold’s Gym and old school lifting, I found the place to be more than adequate. Not for powerlifters, but there is a free weight bench and lots of free weights, dumbbells and Olympic bars. There is a Smith press which was very smooth, as well as a cable crossover and preacher bench. Lots of selectorized machines by Technogym. Not unreasonably crowded. A bit hot in early June. All-in-all it got the job done. Pleasant front desk, 15 euros for the day. Opened at 8am.

Esperienza positiva: Tidy gym, 5-10 minutes from Firenze S.M.N. - The employees are friendly and they speak English. They could benefit from an extra floor with more weights and benches, because it can be quite busy, especially on weekends. Approx. 300 euros for five months. The wifi was inconsistent, and you can't refill your bottle of water.

Esperienza fantastica: I have been training here for more than 8 months, and it feels like home, the staff are really nice and the machines quality are just perfect and there’s almost everything you need!

Esperienza positiva: Great gym in the heart of Florence. Good facilities and clean. Very reasonable rates for tourist.

Esperienza positiva: 하루 15유로 이틀 25유로 파워랙 없고 스미스 한대…좁아요 그래도 기구 어느정도는 있고 샤워실 깔끔(종특 물 졸졸은 어쩔수없구)

Esperienza fantastica: Me gusta mucho! Todos son muy amables, tienen descuento de estudiante dentro de Florencia y es muy cómodo. Está costoso pero vale totalmente la pena

Esperienza positiva: The experience of an American study abroad student: Florence Fitness was a wonderful choice available to a foreign student like me. I wanted to continue lifting in Italy, and this gym was close enough to my residence and fit my budget well. They have one-time memberships deals for students too. I bought a one month pass, costing 90 euros. You can tour the gym before deciding if you want to join!! The staff spoke English well and were extremely nice. The other gymgoers were also kind and helpful. The locker rooms were nice and clean. Cardio machines downstairs. The only cons: - No free weight squat rack - Lack of AC upstairs in the strength training rooms (this was not as big a problem as I anticipated, but it might be in July/August. Maybe they'll implement AC, I don't know. Tour the gym and ask if worried.) - Not a large variety of grips for cables (but sufficient) But all in all, for the options available here, I would definitely recommend to other students studying abroad! I'm happy with my experience here, and so was inspired to write this :) hope it was helpful

Esperienza fantastica: The studio is very centrally located and I spread over several floors. This gives it a friendlier feel than the large-space studios. I paid 55 euros for a 7-day pass there and think that is a very fair price. The staff is very friendly and supportive. The equipment for endurance training is all modern and clean. There is a really great rowing machine! I have not used the other equipment and therefore can not give an opinion on it. There is a beverage automat for drinks. The locker room for the men is also clean. I was even able to borrow a lock. Next time I'm in Florence, I'll be happy to come back!

Esperienza fantastica: If you’re an avid gym goer from the US this is perfect and well worth it

Esperienza positiva: I've been in the gym for about 2 months and I really like it. The last one was for about 3 years in Ireland and this one is a lot better. The only thing that people might expect which is not here, is a pool. Who needs it! They always have too much chlorine and I hate getting wet. The staff are friendly, smart and speak multiple languages. The equipment is well maintained. I've never seen anything out of place or dirty. The owner manager is very straightforward and honest. Everyone is very chilled and people actually speak to one another without any hangups. Nice place in Florence, Italy, to get exercise!

Esperienza positiva: Pretty good for a European City gym. Paid €15 to get in for the day. Full weights and aerobic setup, plus a room for classes. A kinda cramped due to volume. Went at 5pm on a Monday though. Interesting art on the walls, mainly charcoal/chalk depicting the female form. I'm a fan. No extra facilities besides locker room.

Esperienza fantastica: Lovely place with very friendly people. I was absolutely happy there.

Esperienza fantastica: Molto comodo ! +The staff are so friendly

Esperienza fantastica: Vorrei sapere il prezzo degli abbonamenti

Esperienza fantastica: So happy I found this place. It’s 15 euro per day for non-members or 25 for two days. Full workout equipment and dumbbells. Surprisingly large workout area. Staff is super friendly. If you’re looking for a place to get your game on, look no further.

Esperienza fantastica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Fantastic place with great staff. Came from Canada and charged a minimal amount for 1 month membership. Owner is friendly and professional and equipment is good enough for someone like myself who has high demands. Highly recommend.

Esperienza positiva: Palestra strutturata su due piani: al primo troviamo gli spogliatoi (dotati di doccia) e la zona tapis-roulant, al secondo la sala pesi pesi e la sala corsi. Posizione centrale e vicina al centro. Prezzi degli abbonamenti nella norma.

Esperienza fantastica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Esperienza positiva: Attrezzature buone e poca gente

Esperienza fantastica: Everything you need for strength and fitness. Was €25 for two-day pass (couldn’t really find anything cheaper). Also, the guy at the desk was great and willing to help with anything.

Esperienza positiva: Attrezzature buone e poca gente

Esperienza fantastica: Clean, up-to-date & well-maintained equipment, friendly staff, and reasonable price.

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra ben fornita e molto accogliente,spogliatoi sempre molto puliti e ordinati. Il personale è molto simpatico e super professionale, consigliatissimo.

Esperienza fantastica: Great gym for travelers. 15euro day pass or 25 for 2 days. Small but good enough. Biggest down sides are no squat rack, only Smith machine and DBs max out at 32kg.

Esperienza fantastica: As a traveler eating pasta and bread, this location was a godsend! Rates are affordable. They have a number of treadmills and other cardio machines. There's plenty of Nautilus equipment and areas to stretch or do calisthenics. They have a free weight area, but it is tight. I can't thank this location enough for helping me get my workout while on holiday. The front desk staff was very kind to a non-Italian speaker.

Esperienza fantastica: Lots of gear, great weight room, roomy for central Florence. Bit hot in summer as air conditioning working over time, best thing is the friendly rates for tourists, easy 1, 2, and 1 week passes. Recommend if you want to keep your routine up while travelling in Florence.

Esperienza fantastica: Nicest guy on desk and good gym

Esperienza fantastica: Отличный зал, расположенный на двух этажах. Оборудование всё новое в отличном состоянии. Силовые тренажеры в трех залах на втором этаже. Наверное лучший и дешевый зал в городе , посетители всех национальностей . Одноразовое посещение стоит 15 Евро, дают замок для шкафчика в раздевалке , есть и ящички для ценных вещей с ключами.

Esperienza fantastica: mi sono trovata benissimo! Una palestra famiglia tutti gentili!! non ci sono le parole! Vi ringrazio:-)

Esperienza fantastica: mi sono trovata benissimo! Una palestra famiglia tutti gentili!! non ci sono le parole! Vi ringrazio:-)

Esperienza fantastica: Great location, friendly and helpful staff. The rates are excellent for multi-day passes

Esperienza fantastica: Come here because of the other good reviews! Definitely as good as expected! Great service, value for money and equipment!

Esperienza fantastica: One of the few gyms in Florence open on a Sunday. Costs 15€/day for drop-in. Friendly staff with 10/10 customer service. Multi-storey gym with updated machines. If your passing through Florence, this is a great place for a quick lift. Highly recommended!

Esperienza positiva: Great place, a little farther from the center, but great equipment and clean and English speaking staff

Esperienza positiva: This fitness center was close to where I was staying. The price was competitive with others and had friendly people working the front desk. There's plenty of cardio machines, weights, and resistance machines. I never had to wait more than a few minutes to work in. Overall it was pretty clean as well. The only objection I had was the paintings of women on the walls. I've been in fitness clubs across Europe and not one of the others has only has images of only women. Get with the times.

Esperienza fantastica: mi sono trovata benissimo! Una palestra famiglia tutti gentili!! non ci sono le parole! Vi ringrazio:-)

Esperienza fantastica: By far the best gym on our trip to Italy (tried a few across some cities). High quality techno gym equipment and the day pass was about 15 euros. I highly recommend this place.

Esperienza fantastica: Amazing gym! Hot showers, GREAT hair dryers, and friendly staff. It’s pretty small so go during off peak hours. WiFi worked great, there was only one small area with bad service.

Esperienza positiva: 15 euros for a decent gym for one session as a tourist is fine. The free weights could use a little expansion both as an area and the weights / bars / benches itself.

Esperienza fantastica: Una palestra famiglia. Tutto tranquillo. Tutti gentili. Ottime macchine. Attrezzata sala pesi. Anche se piccolina è una palestra attrezzatissima che ha macchine che non sono in altre palestre più decantate. Macchine e panche molto ben manutenute e non disastrate come in altre palestre

Esperienza positiva: Very complete set of machines and weights. No complaints. We used it on a visitor pass for a day. Second floor weight room was very warm. But we were there to workout away.

Esperienza positiva: A little cramped upstairs with weight room and selector machine room. No free weight squat rack is a big negative for me. Not the best setup for strength training.
