Swan Gymnastic Center

Esperienza fantastica: Greatnlil gym were people go to work. Technogym equipment. Some things could do with a make over but that means that the equipment is used and not just used for social media. If you're traveling its 15eur for the day pass.

Esperienza fantastica: Great gym in a central location! The equipment is modern and well-maintained, and the space is always clean. The staff are super friendly, welcoming, and professional. I really enjoyed training here and would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Florence for a short or long-term stay. Thanks again!

Esperienza fantastica: Studied abroad this past summer and went to swan everyday, it was the highlight of my time in Florence. Staff is super sweet and all the equipment is brand new, would highly recommend.

Esperienza negativa: I spent 2 months in Florence and when I arrived purchased a 2 month pass for 150 euro. There are very few options in the city center and from reading reviews elsewhere it seemed most gyms would be crowded and lack space. It seemed this gym at least would have a good selection of free weights and everything you need for a decent workout. From the beginning the front desk person who I am assuming is the owner wasn’t friendly at all. I thought maybe hes tired of all these english speaking tourists coming to his gym. Maybe he was just having a rough week. I get it. That week extended to the next 6 where id build a streak of “ciaos” that were answered with disdain. Around week 6 i unfortunately lost the small business card like pass that acted as my membership. When you sign up, they dont seem to record it anywhere on their end so that piece of paper is critical. I happened to still have my credit card receipt that showed the date I paid 150 euro so it was clear i still paid for another 2 weeks. I kindly approached the front desk guy, apologizing that I misplaced the card and he rolled his eyes, said some italian, and reluctantly waved me through. I didn’t really feel like dealing with that for another 2 weeks especially since the gym was mediocre at best. Instead I decided to get a 2 week pass at Florence Fitness for my final weeks in Florence. I was very happy I did. All the staff there was extremely friendly, the gym was cleaner, and far less crowded. I only wish I spent my full 2 months with Florence Fitness.

Esperienza fantastica: Feels like lifting in an old school bodybuilding gym, cool machines, good equipment, cool people, great owner. Some of the other customers need to learn how to put back dumbbells in their correct spot but that’s not the fault of management. Great place to workout on vacation or as a home gym if you live in the area

Esperienza fantastica: Bella palestra!!! Maurizio il gestore number one!!!! I corsi sono ottimi e professionali!!

Esperienza fantastica: Gimnasio en pleno centro de Florencia pequeñito pero con todas las máquinas que necesitas para hacer un buen entreno nosotros fuimos durante nuestra estancia de viaje y nos gustó mucho poder entrenar allí pagas el día suelto que son 15 € y haces uso de él. Te hace el apaño perfectamente, gana más en directo que por las fotos de la web.

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra molto consigliata in centro a Firenze. Ha un’ottima sala pesi e tante macchine cardio e per body building. Consigliato!

Esperienza positiva: acceptable spot for working out while on holiday. the gym opens rather late (09:00), but 15€ per day / 50€ per week for the pass is not too bad. the gym itself is quite small, but it's also fairly empty, so it was okay. seems to mostly be non-locals working out here. more convenient opening hours would have been nice, but overall, it's a good spot to squeeze in a workout.

Esperienza fantastica: Are you open on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday? At what time? And is there a special offer for 3 days of training or one week membership?

Esperienza positiva: L'abbonamento mensile è eccessivamente caro rispetto alla qualità della palestra, che risulta inoltre sovraffollata in tutte le fasce orarie

Esperienza fantastica: Molto bella questa palestra c’è tutto dí quello che abbiamo bisogno il personale è molto disponibile

Esperienza positiva: Positive, hard-working atmosphere with all the equipment you need (but crowded so be prepared)

Esperienza fantastica: Very decent for a workout while traveling. Has all the basic equipment and some more. Some of it modern, some of it basic. EUR 15 for a day pass.

Esperienza positiva: Damska szatnia widziała lepsze czasy, ale na plus właściciel, który dał nam kluczyki do szafek na klucz (w szatni są na kłódkę). Bardzo dużo ludzi i praktycznie wszystkie maszyny były zajęte.

Esperienza fantastica: 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.

Esperienza positiva: Tageskarte 15€. Der Besitzer ist nicht besonders freundlich und die Ausstattung des Gyms ist so semi. Durchschnittliche Technogym Geräte wobei eine Beinpresse oder ein sitzender beinbeuger beispielsweise fehlt. 2 Langhanteln nur, da man die von den Bänken zum bankdrücken nicht wegnehmen darf. Wenn man nur kurz in Florenz ist würde ich einen Restday einfach mehr einlegen und aufs training verzichten. Falls man Bodybuilding ambitioniert betreibt kann man hier dennoch einen erhaltungsreiz setzen. Kurzhanteln nur bis 40kg

Esperienza fantastica: 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!

Esperienza fantastica: Buen gimnasio, las máquinas son nuevas y está bien distribuido con el espacio justo ideal

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra perfetta, sicuramente la migliore del centro

Esperienza fantastica: Perfect place to get a vacation workout in. Small but plenty. 15$ for a day pass.

Esperienza fantastica: Good machines and tourist friendly! Had a good workkout amd friendly reception

Esperienza positiva: Okay gym to get a quick session in. Price is 15 euros for a day. Can get crowded. There is just 1 squat rack.

Esperienza positiva: 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 (it's back). What irkes me is they only have 3 stationary bikes. Each one's different, a recumbent, 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€ but they dont require a local doctor's note which most local gyms do here. They'll issue you a card which you'll turn in every time you enter and pick up when you leave. Remember to pick it up, if you lose it they'll give you a hard time. 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, and that is often. A good but limited variety of machines. Oddly a Hammer strength local version of a military and incline press machines. Only one preacher bench (it's a new one as of Mar h 2025) and only one EZ 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 ( a second one was added 2025), and one Smith's machine rack. If you're benching or squatting fairly heavy (315#) you'll be using more half the 20kg plates in the gym. That is often a problem...not enough 45 plates. Eventhough there are signs not to do this ...I've seen someone take the olympic bar to do floor hip thrust but they've acquired a hip thrust machine. 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. Front desk person is nice. Ive been to gyms outside the city center which are cheaper but if you're too far to keep going consistently..what's the point. In the summer time the gym gets super hot. They definitely need some strategically placed fans.

Esperienza positiva: Perfectly good little gym if you’re a tourist in Florence! 15 euros day rate.

Esperienza fantastica: La palestra più cool di Firenze!

Esperienza positiva: relativly small gym, has technogym plates, few barbells and only one squat rack, not the best for heavy lifting but for other people great

Esperienza fantastica: 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

Esperienza fantastica: C'est pratique, il est dans le centre. Il n'est pas grand mais bien

Esperienza negativa: - The best: location near city center, working and almost newest Technogym machines. - Negative: unpoliteness of owners, random application of pre-published discounts, dirty and flooded changing rooms, unhealthy machine cleaning facilities.

Esperienza positiva: I have a membership for a few months, I don’t have any complaints besides is a little small but there’s always new machines being brought :)

Esperienza fantastica: Bella palestra, con tutto il necessario per allenarsi.

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra con tutti gli attrezzi utili e tutti moderni. Locale molto concentrato e distribuito nonché molto funzionale. Ottimo lo staff (nel mio caso si è dimostrato molto qualificato e in più attento, in quanto sono stato seguito negli esercizi che erano diversi). I prezzi sono ottimi, è stata la palestra con prezzi più bassi che ho trovato. Consiglio a tutti di provare.

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra ben attrezzata, molto pulita, il personale gentile e gli istruttori disponibili e competenti.

Esperienza fantastica: Swan gym is the perfect spot to stay in shape while you’re in Florence. There are many locals and visitors who use this gym, so you will feel welcomed. They have any equipment you could ask for in a workout. The treadmills are also very nice. They also have daily classes that are similar to Les Mils programs. You’ll be challenged and sore the next day!

Esperienza negativa: 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

Esperienza fantastica: Amazing gym. Has plenty of equipment and freeweights. Powerlifter friendly too. No nonsense gym for locals, international students, and tourists.

Esperienza positiva: Great facility and very helpful staff, also a very reasonable set of prices.

Esperienza positiva: Kleines, gut eingerichtetes Gym mit vielen Geräten und einem netten Besitzer. Technogym Geräte und KH bis 40kg. Sehr viele Technogym Geräte in gutem gepflegten Zustand. Viele Beingeräte und sogar Blackrolls stehen zur Verfügung. Das Gym ist mit Deckenventilatoren ausgestattet und auch Klimaanlagen. Diese waren aber nicht aufgedreht und deswegen war es sehr warm, dies ist aber auch der einzige Kritikpunkt. Getrennte Umkleiden für Mann und Frau sowie Duschen stehen zur Verfügung. Man braucht ein eigenes Schloss um sein Kästchen abzusperren. Eine Tageskarte kostet 15€. Das Gym war nur mäßig besucht und es kam zu keinen Wartezeiten (Fr. um ca. 17:00). Klar zu empfehlen wenn man beim Städtetrip in Florenz die Pizzen wieder abtrainieren muss. :-)

Esperienza fantastica: Positive: Quality

Esperienza positiva: Für ein Gym im Zentrum ganz okay ausgestattet, aber 15 Euro für eine Tageskarte ist viel zu teuer

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra top ci vediamo presto

Esperienza fantastica: Palestra completamente attrezzata Technogym in pieno Centro storico di Firenze . Personale competente. Ambiente in perfetta regola con le disposizioni da dcpm. Peccato che attualmente , malgrado rispetti le suddette regole, sia chiusa . Aspetto con impazienza la riapertura per proseguire le mie sedute di allenamento ...

Esperienza positiva: Piccola ma molto attrezzata oalestra in centro a Firenze

Esperienza fantastica: 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.

Esperienza positiva: luogo semplice: una sala pesi con moltissimi attrezzi concentrati in poco spazio, una sala per i corsi, spogliatoi completi di docce. piccola ma graziosa. e costa poco. frequentata sopratutto da giovani stranieri.

Esperienza positiva: Palestra piccola ma con tutto il necessario

Esperienza fantastica: Friendly place that has all the basics. It's a bit cramped but the location is great. I got a month pass for 80Euro.

Esperienza fantastica: Excelentes máquinas en general y buen vestiré, seguro

Esperienza negativa: Sporca e poco organizzata

Esperienza positiva: Palestra ben organizzata

Esperienza fantastica: C'è tutto come attrezzi ben organizzata e pulita

Esperienza fantastica: I visited this gym while on vacation in Florence . Had everything I needed, bumped plates, a squat rack, lockers. Even had micro plates. I tried a couple other gyms and swan was the only one with serious weightlifting equipment.

Esperienza positiva: Palestra ben attrezzata

Esperienza positiva: Piccola palestra in centro

Esperienza positiva: Non male

Esperienza positiva: piccola ma c è tutto l occorente!

Esperienza positiva: Molto buona

Esperienza positiva: Palestra pulita e funzionale. Spogliatoi spartani ma hanno tutto ciò che serve. Il personale è disponibile e alla mano. L'unica pecca: aggiustate la fontanella in sala attrezzi, che non funziona bene.

Esperienza fantastica: very good

Esperienza fantastica: My favorite gym in Italy during a 3 month stay. Pros: Lots of equipment, almost heavy dumbbells (I think they went to 42kg), friendly staff, good pricing, and they don't have the silly you can't wear your sneakers into the gym rule that a lot of Italy has. Cons: the only con would be that of any good gym, crowded during peak hours. If the staff is reading this, grazie mille per la tua palestra! Era molto buono! Vorrei tornare li il prossimo tempo saro in Firenze :)

Esperienza positiva: If you're an American used to a "globo-gym," this is not the place for you. But it's where many American students and locals intermix. Despite the small space, it has everything you need: Dumbbells, Olympic bars, machines, cables, treadmills, ellipticals, and a space for classes. Plus it's less expensive than other palestras nearby.
