Gym rental per hour in Amsterdam: flexible studio for freelance trainers

As a freelance personal trainer or physiotherapist in Amsterdam, you face one major challenge: you need a professional space, but you don't want fixed monthly costs for a gym you only use part of the time. The solution? Renting a gym or training studio by the hour.

Why hourly rental beats a fixed gym

Many freelance trainers start by working in regular gyms — either as hired staff or by taking out an expensive monthly membership. But that model has significant downsides:

• Fixed monthly costs, even during slow weeks
• No personal brand: clients see you working in a public gym
• No control over music, temperature or other people in the space
• Commission on your revenue under some arrangements

Renting a private studio by the hour solves all of this. You only pay for time you actually use. At SculptClub, that starts at €12 for a 60-minute session — a fraction of what a monthly gym membership costs.
