What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.
A trial in the Netherlands is usually a single trial session (proefles) or a short trial period, booked online with your name and email. Some trials are free, others cost a small fee that is deducted if you join. Some gyms check ID at the first visit, and some ask for bank details when you book, so read what happens when the trial ends. Ask whether a trainer shows you around or whether you train on your own.
