Amsterdam Fitness Pass

4.2 · 15 reviews From $15 Operated by BODDY · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Book on GetYourGuide →

Your gym time in Amsterdam, simplified. The Amsterdam Fitness Pass gives you a single virtual access code through the Boddy app, so you can try workouts around the city without signing up for memberships, and I like that you can choose 1, 2, or 4 entries to match how many classes you actually want. The main drawback to keep in mind is that the standard pass might not include every gym listed on the platform, so you could be asked about an upgrade at the door.

With a 4.2 average rating from 15 reviews, it is a practical way to stay consistent while you travel. You will still do some planning, though, since you are selecting your own venues and classes across many options.

Key things to know before you buy

Amsterdam Fitness Pass - Key things to know before you buy

  • Pick your entry count (1, 2, or 4 visits) so you only pay for what you’ll realistically use.
  • Use the Boddy app via a unique passcode, then book gyms and classes through your virtual account.
  • Expect choice across town, including yoga, pilates, spinning, boxing, and more.
  • The pass is not the same as unlimited access. You book individual entries, and availability matters.
  • Some gyms may charge extra for amenities like towels or mats.
  • In some cases, venues may not know your pass covers them, so double-check after booking.

Before fixing the day, compare this with a few well-reviewed Amsterdam alternatives:

Amsterdam Fitness Pass in plain terms

Amsterdam Fitness Pass - Amsterdam Fitness Pass in plain terms
This is not one fixed guided tour with set stops. It is a short-term access pass that lets you book gym visits and fitness classes across Amsterdam using the Boddy platform. You choose the workout that fits your schedule, show up at the selected venue, and use your visit entry.

The value idea is simple: instead of paying full price for one class or one gym membership, you buy a small number of entries at a discount. The pass advertises savings up to 70%, with an average around 50% off. That can matter a lot in Amsterdam, where daily activities can add up fast.

I like this style of product because it keeps you flexible. If your day is packed, you can pick a quick class. If you have a calmer afternoon, you can book something longer or different. You are still in control, and that makes it easier to stay on track with training, even while sightseeing.

Price and value: is $15 a good deal for your workouts?

Amsterdam Fitness Pass - Price and value: is $15 a good deal for your workouts?
The pass is listed at $15 per person, with options for 1, 2, or 4 entries. Since we do not have separate pricing for each option here, your best move is to think in terms of per-visit value.

Here’s how I’d judge it:

  • If you use more than one entry, the savings claim becomes more meaningful. Two or four visits turns this into a realistic alternative to paying casually for classes one by one.
  • If you only use one entry, it can still work, but you need to confirm you are getting the workout you want at the gym you want. One miss can feel expensive if a venue is not included in your pass tier.
  • The savings are tied to the pass structure, not a guarantee that every possible venue will be covered. The discount makes sense when you land on included gyms and class times.

I also think about risk. The pass has a clear refund promise if you change your mind or cannot find a suitable class, but that “full refund” condition is not meant for already used entries. So treat it like a plan you will try to follow, not a ticket you can ignore.

Bottom line: if you want consistency during a trip and you will realistically book at least two workouts, this is usually where the math starts to feel good.

How booking works in the Boddy app, step by step

Amsterdam Fitness Pass - How booking works in the Boddy app, step by step
The pass runs through Boddy, and the process is designed to be fast.

After you book, you get:

  • a confirmation email
  • a link
  • a unique passcode

Then you:

  1. Click the link.
  2. Enter your code and create your virtual account (it says this takes less than 30 seconds).
  3. Select a gym or class.
  4. Follow the instructions for that venue.

A practical tip: once your account is set up, do not wait. Check your available classes and gym locations early, especially if you are traveling during a busy week. The pass notes you should check availability to see starting times.

Also, remember this is not a “show up anytime” product. You are selecting specific workouts. That is why planning beats winging it here.

A different pace for the same Amsterdam itinerary

Your workout options across Amsterdam (gyms, studios, and class types)

The pass advertises access to dozens of gyms and fitness classes across the city. It specifically mentions workout types like:

  • yoga
  • pilates
  • spinning
  • boxing
  • and other classes

It also lists example venues you might find inside the network, including:

  • The Gym Lounge
  • Amstelgym
  • WattCycling Amsterdam
  • Equal Yoga Studios
  • Round11
  • and options in other neighborhoods, including Mylife Purmerend and Sean Leisure & Sport

Since the pass covers many locations, your biggest advantage is choice. You can book closer to where you are staying, rather than trekking across town for one workout.

One helpful way to use this: match the venue to your training goal by picking the class style first, then looking for the included studio that offers it. For example, if you want a cycling-focused session, you can look for something like WattCycling Amsterdam in the app. If you want yoga, you can look for options under Equal Yoga Studios.

What I like here is that you are not stuck with only one type of workout. Travel often messes with routines. This pass gives you a way to “keep the habit,” even if the exact class changes.

A realistic plan for using your 15-day window

The pass lists valid 15 days, and it also says your selected pass option is valid for 6 months from the date of purchase. To avoid confusion, I treat this as two layers:

  • you buy it within a window that lasts months
  • you use it for bookings tied to the 15-day validity period and the class schedules shown in the app

Because you book classes based on availability, I suggest a simple approach:

  • Book one class early to lock in a win.
  • Leave one or two entries as flexible backups. If you end up walking more than expected, you can swap a class type.
  • Use the pass on days you want a reset, like when museums and long routes start to feel repetitive.

A common travel pattern in Amsterdam is walking, standing, and climbing stairs. That is why spacing your workouts matters. If you do a hard class on back-to-back days, you may feel it in your legs during sightseeing. If you do something lighter, like yoga or pilates, you can still move while giving your body a break.

This is also a good fit if your travel schedule is irregular. You can shift your workout to whatever day you have the energy for.

What a typical gym or class visit feels like

Once you choose a class or gym in your virtual account, you follow venue-specific instructions. The pass describes “use of gym facilities” plus “access to classes and outdoor activities,” depending on what the selected entry includes.

In practice, I’d expect:

  • you show up at the selected venue on time
  • you use your passcode details as instructed
  • you use the facilities and/or attend the class tied to that booking

Some practical notes from the info you should plan around:

  • Some gyms can charge a fee for amenities like towels, mats, and similar items.
  • The pass lists what to bring as passport or ID card, towel, and sportswear.
  • It is wheelchair accessible.

One more detail that matters for your day: class schedules are part of the deal. If you want a specific type of workout at a specific time, you need to book according to what is shown in the app for your availability.

Included vs not included: the small surprises

The pass includes:

  • savings of up to 70% (average around 50% off)
  • use of gym facilities
  • access to classes and outdoor activities
  • 1, 2, or 4 visits based on the entry option you select

Not included:

  • Some gyms charge fees for amenities such as towels and mats

So even though the pass is discounted, you should still budget a few euros for on-site basics, or just bring your own towel and sportswear. The provided guidance already suggests bringing a towel, which is usually the easiest way to avoid small add-on fees.

Also, do not assume every venue will match your expectations. A pass like this is a network product, and each venue has its own check-in process. That is normal. What is not normal is being turned away because a venue did not understand the pass coverage.

And that leads to the one drawback that deserves extra attention.

The biggest drawback: venue coverage and staff confusion

Amsterdam Fitness Pass - The biggest drawback: venue coverage and staff confusion
One of the clearest issues shown in the information is that the pass uses the Boddy voucher system, and the standard pass may not include access to all gyms on the platform. In that situation, you might need an upgrade.

There is also a practical service issue: staff at some gyms you use might not know the pass covers them. That can lead to surprise at check-in, even if you booked correctly.

How to protect yourself:

  • After booking, take a quick screenshot or save your booking details in case you need to show them.
  • Before you commit time to a specific gym, check within the app that your pass option is marked for that venue and class.

This is not meant to scare you off. It is just a reminder that network passes depend on each site participating smoothly.

If you want low-friction check-ins, you might prefer to pick a couple of gyms you can reach easily, so even a minor hiccup is manageable.

Cancellation, refunds, and what you should expect

This pass is designed with flexibility. It states free cancellation and refunds in two places:

  • it notes free cancellation up to 2 hours before the classes start
  • it also states you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund

It also says there is no membership fee required.

On refunds for unused use: it says if you buy a Pass and change your mind or you do not find a class that suits you, you will be given a full refund. It also adds that this is not applicable to partially used passes.

So if you are trying the pass as a backup plan, still commit to it early. If you use entries, you may lose some flexibility on refunds.

Who this Amsterdam gym pass suits best

This is a strong fit if:

  • You want to stay consistent while traveling and plan to do at least a couple of workouts.
  • You like the idea of choosing your own studios around the city.
  • You are open to trying a mix of class types like yoga, pilates, spinning, or boxing.
  • You want discounted access instead of buying each class at full price.

It is less ideal if:

  • You only want one very specific class at one very specific time, because availability and coverage can vary.
  • You hate any chance of confusion at check-in and want a guaranteed, always-recognized setup at every venue.

Also, the pass is not suitable for children under 18.

Should you book the Amsterdam Fitness Pass?

I’d book it if you want a practical way to keep training while you are in Amsterdam, especially if you will realistically use two or more entries. The discount claims are meaningful, and the Boddy app setup is quick.

I’d think twice if you are only planning a single workout, or if you have your heart set on a particular venue that you cannot confirm is included for your pass option. The biggest risk is not the app itself. It is venue coverage and staff awareness at some locations.

If you do book, make your first booking early, then build the rest around what your trip actually looks like. That keeps the pass a win, not a chore.
