It's hard to describe in a few lines this place, which brilliantly and with great originality mixes cosy spaces for relaxing, having a drink, working - the place also offers very popular coworking spaces - and relaxing, with two saunas and hammams. But it's also an incredible place to work out, under the vast 18-meter high glass roof - they used to make hot-air balloons here, you'll understand! A space dedicated to cardio, another to weight training, another to boxing, or even for soft gym and cycling are proposed.

Cons: The gym at peak time it feels like a fish market. Like it's so busy that it's impossible to find a Machine. If I'm paying a premium price and I have to wait like it's some 20€ euro gym where is the point? And the actual gym floor is super small and barely has any equipment.
The classes get full everytime. They sold this membership like it's some 15€ euro gym to as many as they can and now it's extremely over crowded.
Coworking space: People hoard their chairs and desks like it's their office. This is supposed to be a quick coworking space when you come to gym and maybe need a 2 hour break to work. But no people come with their LAPTOP STANDS. No I'm not kidding and the manager says nothing. That's the most shocking part.
So it's just bunch of ppl who literally hoard all the space leaving their jackets. Go out for lunch because they don't wanna pay for the food inside and come back. They don't even put a time limit. So obviously people take advantage of it.
The gym needs to tell people you CANNOT take work calls or hoard tables by leaving their jackets for hours. Like a zoom call at a coworking space at a gym? Seriously?
Les cours sont suffisamment variés pour y trouver une pratique qui convienne aux besoins et capacités de chacun. Les coachs sont pros et bienveillants (un merci particulier à Alyona et Piero qui m'ont (re)donné le goût de l'exercice physique). Je regrette seulement qu'il n'y ait pas de cours de Yin yoga tôt le matin, moment où cette pratique est à mon avis la plus agréable.
Le prix de l'abonnement (élevé) est en ligne avec les autres salles de sport premium parisiennes et cohérent avec les prestations (machines haut de gamme, vestiaires spacieux et impeccables où tout est fourni, espace de coworking, petite restauration très bonne...). Il faut pouvoir s'y rendre plusieurs fois par semaine pour que l'abonnement soit rentable mais je dois dire que le lieu fait qu'on y va avec plaisir plutôt que par devoir.
Bref, si vous en avez les moyens, si vous avez envie de faire de l'exercice pour vous sentir bien, et si vous avez un peu de mal avec le monde du fitness et ses injonctions bourrines sur le thème de la performance et du dépassement de soi, ou avec le côté souvent très girly des studio spécialisés en yoga et pilates, ce lieu vous plaira sûrement.
Une remarque quand même : le wifi est très très lent, ce qui est assez pénible. Certes ce n'est pas un véritable espace de coworking mais même pour répondre à quelques mails en attendant son cours c'est laborieux.
