4% Fitness Candy

A well-equipped gym with a cozy atmosphere. It was a little crowded when I visited, but everything I needed was available, and the gym was generally well organized. I was initially disappointed that I could not find the rowing machine in the cardio area at the front, but it was located at the back. Concept2 machines in the vast majority of gyms are often in poor condition, even though they require only minimal and inexpensive maintenance. Here, however, the machine was in very good condition, and it was a real pleasure to use. The stretching and mobility areas are a little dark and intimidating, but I found them stylish and slightly amusing. The dark, quiet basement area for heavy exercises was also a great place to focus on what really matters. The changing rooms and showers were clean and tidy. Overall, this is a very nice place to train, and I felt comfortable there. Thanks.

Nothing went horrible. Environment was clean, machine was various and satisfactory. Staff were reachable. Most importantly there were some good guys, who were kind and easy to talk with. (Additionally the underground floor kind of felt like a escape room for me)

Don't go to 4% Fitness Gym in Budapest, Rákóczi út 47-49, 1088 if you are a foreigner and don't look like a Hungarian, German, or Anglo-Saxon . The front desk women were not friendly when I asked a question about a 1-day pass. I felt uncomfortable because I thought I was doing something that was making them feel uncomfortable. I even smiled a bit but they were kurt with their response. I just paid 8 Euros for a 1-day pass and started to work out. After resting at the entrances, I watched them be very friendly with other men and women who looked like them, but when a customer of another race interacted with them, they completely changed. I thought it was a one-time situation, but I saw it repeatedly with other men and women who came into the gym and didn't look Anglo-Saxon or Hungarian. I tried speaking with the manager, who was sitting to the side with his laptop, and wrote on my phone for translation that they weren't friendly to foreigners. He brushed me off and said he didn't care. I made a mistake giving my money to this gym because I wanted to work out. I was visiting Budapest for work and just wanted to feel welcomed and work out. I wish I had found another gym with an intern

Great spacious gym with a wide variety of equipment. Even during peak hours, you can almost always find a free machine. However, the biggest issue here is the heat. It’s always hot; the temperature is never at a comfortable level. In the summer, it's understandable because of the outside heat, but the air conditioning doesn't cope. In the fall, they start heating as early as September, and it stays hot. In the winter, they keep the heat on high. The only time the temperature is somewhat acceptable is during severe frosts when the heating can't keep up, but those days are rare. Now it's May, and it’s still hot. It’s like a never-ending cycle. I’m addressing the management: please, make sure the temperature does not exceed 20°C. Working out at 25°C or higher is dangerous for your health. I should also note that the ground floor is relatively fine, but everything mentioned above applies to the upper floor, especially the cardio zone

Been here for 1 year. Lots of machines, decent hygiene, decent staff, spacious. The reason for 4 star is the music. Wayy too loud. Everyone has got headphone on so why not turning the volume down a bit? It penetrates my earphones, which got Active noise canceling.
