On top of all that, we will dive deeper into the pros and cons of both gyms. That will hopefully give you a better understanding of which gym to go with. With all that said, let’s start with Bull Gym.

Celebrity Fitness Bali

Celebrity Fitness Bali is located in Denpasar, the capital city of Bali. The gym has multiple training areas, but it isn’t as spacious as some other gyms. Being located in the capital of Bali means there is a lot of traffic in-around the gym. So for the best possible experience, it’s best to avoid peak hours. With that said, the gym is well maintained and has sufficient weights in good condition. The exercise machines will provide you with all of your fitness and workout needs. Let’s go over the pros and cons of Celebrity Fitness Bali.

Celebrity Fitness Bali Pros

One of the gym’s standout features is that they hold virtual fitness classes. This feature is intended for members who want to train from home during these difficult times. Secondly, the gym has a huge number of facilities. Each gym has a cardio area, a free weights area, and they even have a cycling studio where they hold fitness classes. 

But this is anything but a normal gym; it’s a franchise. They have more than 30 locations throughout Indonesia, with two Bali locations. Their membership plans at Denpasar gym costs 375,000 IDR. The gym gives members an excellent range of weights and training equipment. They have a cardio area and a cycling area for everyone interested in fitness. With plenty of other facilities, such as a sauna, showers and lockers, a lounge area, and tons of fitness classes, Celebrity Fitness Bali is an excellent place to get your daily workout done.

With that said, there are a few things you should be mindful of before joining Celebrity Fitness Bali.

Celebrity Fitness Bali Cons

One of the biggest red flags is that Celebrity Fitness is a franchise. You don’t get the same level of attention as you would when joining a normal gym like Bull Gym. But the biggest concern members have openly expressed is that there are issues with the gym’s payment system. Members have repeatedly complained that they get charged extra when trying to cancel their membership. Not only that, but members are also complaining about hidden fees.

In addition to that, there have been issues with the staff. Some members have said the staff aren’t friendly and, in some cases, lazy. So most of the issues have to do with customer service. Take these comments into account before joining Celebrity Fitness Bali.

Bull Gym Canggu

Located in Canggu, Bull Gym is one of the best gyms on the entire island. The place is known for having some of the best equipment. Not only that, but the equipment is all brand new. Another feature that makes the gym stand out is the excellent workout environment. They’re professional, and they’re quite cheap compared to other gyms. Let’s go over the pros and cons to see what Bull Gym is all about.

Bull Gym Canggu Pros

The first place to start is the equipment. Namely, the gym has brand new equipment and a variety of weights and machines. Simply said, it’s all top-of-the-line. Members praise the outstanding quality of weights, the perfect condition of machines, and sufficient training area. The whole training space makes up around 500 square meters. This gives members enough room to train even during peak hours.

The professional demeanor and attitude of the staff is yet another thing we’d like to highlight. Bull Gym employs a friendly staff that maintains the gym and looks after the needs of its members. Speaking on staff, the gym employs quality coaches for CrossFit classes. A CrossFit group at Bull Gym consists of no more than six members. This makes sure coaches can devote enough time to each member. 

The price of membership is something that gym-goers praise. A monthly membership costs 1,000,000 IDR, while a six-month membership plan will cost 4,000,000 IDR. Their membership plans are also flexible, with day passes and weak passes being another option. On the amenities front, the gym has a protein bar area where members can sit down after a workout and enjoy a nice protein shake. The shower and cloakroom are a handy addition to the gym’s list of facilities. 

The gym’s owners are personal trainers that prepare athletes for all kinds of powerlifting competitions. Both personal trainers, Yannick and Stephanie, are certified powerlifters with more than 15 years of experience running a gym. So right out the bat, members are getting access to quality personal training. With that said, let’s go over some of the cons.

Bull Gym Canggu Cons

The overly positive reviews and comments Bull Gym gets on social media and Google makes it difficult to identify many negatives. With that said, there are a few things that members should know before signing up with Bull Gym. The first thing is that the gym has no car parking space. If you’re arriving by car, it’s better to look around for parking space before coming in. But there is sufficient parking space for members who arrive by moped or bike. Another thing that members might find annoying is that the gym likes to keep things nice and tidy. You will be reminded by staff to put weights back in place and clean after yourself. But considering that this is the normal thing to do, it shouldn’t weigh in too much on your decision.

Bull Gym Or Celebrity Fitness?

With all that said, which gym should you sign up with next time in Bali? No doubt location matters, but getting a quality workout is even more important. With everything we’ve said so far, Bull Gym is better for those who want a more personalized workout experience. It might be costlier, but members are getting access to quality weights and equipment that is also brand new. We cannot gloss over the customer service issues of Celebrity Fitness Bali. So because of that, we deem Bull Gym to be a better option.
