Hi all, I reckon I'll be going with Holmes Place as my apartment is just a couple of hundred meters away. Coming from the US, i find HP to be rather unamusingly overpriced - probably twice the price of a good gym in the US, with half the equipment, ... Read More

I'm guessing I will end up on Andrassy near the Oktagon. The apartment complex I am considering has a small gym but of course that will not be sufficient for me. My apartment salesperson has recommended Holmes, but after visiting the web site, it ... Read More
