At a glance

Gyms with step-free entrance

Step-free entrances are confirmed at many chain gyms in the Netherlands: most Basic-Fit and Anytime Fitness clubs list one, often because they occupy ground-floor units. Independent gyms make up the rest, from Amsterdam and The Hague to Utrecht and Rotterdam. Inside, Dutch buildings vary a lot, so a level entrance does not guarantee step-free changing rooms or training areas.
