ACLO Station

Fantastische ervaring: Bien!

Positieve ervaring: I attend group lessons multiple times every week here. There's changing rooms and toilets which are reasonably clean, and there's specialized equipment available for some group lessons (e.g. bungee cords and harnesses). It can be annoying that you have to book group lessons a week in advance so spots don't get sold out, but for the price, this is by far the most affordable way to stay active as a student. The only complaint I have is how hot and stuffy it gets when the weather is warm - there is no AC, and the small windows don't do much for ventilation

Fantastische ervaring: I regularly attend the group lessons. Good vibes, nice people, never lacked any equipment. Overall affordable and fun.

Positieve ervaring: Layout is a little confusing and you need to know when the courses start, otherwise it's perfect for students and the offer is great

Fantastische ervaring: Keurige sportschool met goede apparatuur.

Negatieve ervaring: Aclo Trainstation closed, no refund, no news, very disappointed...

Fantastische ervaring: Biggest sports centre in the city where one can practice pretty much every imaginable sport either alone or at a club. There are large changing rooms with plenty of actually hot showers (unlike many other sport centres) that are cleaned regularly. There is a bar and a sort of diner with something to everyone's taste.

Fantastische ervaring: goed materiaal. mooi centraal.

Fantastische ervaring: Heel goed materiaal

Fantastische ervaring: Heel gevarieerd aanbod en leuke instructeurs. Het aanmeldsysteem werkt goed. Goedkoop sporten.

Fantastische ervaring: Centraal gelegen met uitstekende begeleiding en kwaliteit!

Fantastische ervaring: Very cheap. Various sports options, very good facilities and management!

Fantastische ervaring: Dit is bij uitstek de plek om lekker te sporten in Groningen! Er zijn verschillende lessen die je kunt volgen als (oud-)student, zoals bootcamp, HIIT, bodyfit, bodypump, TRX, en yoga

Positieve ervaring: Er worden leuke lessen gegeven! Maar het kan heel erg krap zijn met 60 mensen en met alle ramen dicht en gebrek aan airco wordt het warm en benauwd

Fantastische ervaring: Heel gevarieerd aanbod en leuke instructeurs. Het aanmeldsysteem werkt goed. Goedkoop sporten.

Negatieve ervaring: This place is horrible. Environment unfriendly towards women, Northside men shouting, belching and bitching about women. Only positive thing is the location itself.

Positieve ervaring: Lekker sporten met leuke actieve instructeurs. Enige nadeel is het inschrijven.

Positieve ervaring: Goed studentensport centrum

Fantastische ervaring: Reeds lid geworden door de zomeractie. €25 tot 1 aug. het leukste is om met een stel vrienden mee te doen aan de activiteiten van ongeveer een uur. Erg gezellig en nog goed voor de gezondheid ook

Negatieve ervaring: Altijd al beperkte openingstijden Powerstation, maar dit jaar hebben ze de ochtendtijden helemaal weggehaald...

Negatieve ervaring: Terrible gym experience. The university sports centre has let a private club run the gym. Even though I was able to lift twice as much for reps as the supervisor could do a 1RM for, everyone is always told they're unqualified and need to pay €100 for training sessions if they want to join. Ridiculous. Update: Sports centre won't refund me the money they charged to qualify for gym membership. Avoid this gym.

Negatieve ervaring: The worst gym experience. First, there is a lot of bureaucracy. You pay a membership which is a fixed price, regardless of the fact that it expires in 3 months or in 10 months... the price is the same. No lockers (!!) but lots of rules and conditions. Day one: you pay the membership. But you can't train because everything is fully booked. "Come tomorrow". To be able to go to the gym you have to pay extra, AND you have to take what they call "power intro". Well, it's not an "intro" at all. you go there, a guy tells you to read the rules and then asks you to do a squat and a bench press. No indications whatsoever! after that he says "well, this is a very serious gym , you are not fit to come here (implying that you are not serious? or it's a way of keeping small crowd?). Come on Tuesday (after a week!) and talk to someone else, I am not a trainer just a supervisor" (a supervisor who takes a decision that you should not come (!) All in all... ACLO? no thanks ! low price but the quality is even lower !

Positieve ervaring: Perfect barbell training location for students

Fantastische ervaring: Small but well equipped gym (Eleiko plates, competion racks etc.). The best place in Groningen for anyone who's serious about weightlifting/powerlifting or just looking to get stronger. Lots of knowledgeable people around who can help you with a shortcut into the lifting game without having to figure it out by yourself. Just ask and anyone will be willing to help.

Fantastische ervaring: The power station is small but well equipped gym, but (sometimes) a bit short with opening hours. The people are glad to help out with my lifts or to spot.
