ABOUT THEGYM
At THEGYM you will find exclusive facilities – we call them FITNESS | RELAX | LOUNGE. With these facilities you experience the perfect balance between personal development and peace of mind.
Experience our RELAX area, where you can recover and recharge with wellness in the midst of a busy day. Enjoy one of our three different saunas, or take a relaxing break in our stylish LOUNGE area, which offers space for co-working, freshly brewed coffee, and light refreshments.
In our FITNESS area, we provide you with a quality space with room for everyone and focus on you – there is room for both the most experienced who are looking for a unique and challenging training environment and for beginners who want the best environment to create new, good training habits.
EXCLUSIVE & INNOVATIVE
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
THEGYM is a new and unique fitness center in Aarhus that raises the bar for your fitness experience. The name alone, THEGYM, is a statement in itself — with the emphasis on “THE.”
From the designer furniture in the LOUNGE area, which has the exact same lighting solution as the Noma restaurant, to the FITNESS area with state-of-the-art exercise machines, to the RELAX area with Finnish sauna and saunagus, infrared sauna and bio sauna, the attention to detail is second to none.
We’ve created a place that is truly one of a kind. This is the place. Just as there’s only one Noma, we are the fitness world’s answer to Noma. We are a destination for those who want more than just 45 minutes of training before heading home to shower. That’s why we believe the name couldn’t have been anything else.
WE DON'T COMPROMISE
When you visit THEGYM, you’ll quickly notice that we haven’t compromised on anything. Every detail has been carefully considered because we have big ambitions. At THEGYM, you’ll experience quality, expertise, and exclusivity in everything we do — from towel service and freshly brewed coffee to premium products in the changing rooms, top-of-the-line training equipment, and an outstanding wellness experience featuring sauna infusions.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FERRARI AND A DACIA
Can you compare a fitness center to the restaurant Noma or a Ferrari? The short answer is: Yes! And that’s exactly what we do — to offer you an exclusive space for your personal growth and recovery.
A car is not just a car. The same goes for your personal growth, well-being — and yes, your fitness and wellness center.
A Dacia also has a steering wheel, an engine, and four wheels just like a Ferrari, and sure, it will get you from A to B — but you can be certain that the driving experience in a Ferrari is something entirely different. In the same way, our fitness center offers an experience that stands out from the norm. And just as the Ferrari experience is reflected in its price, our pricing reflects the high quality and unique experience we provide.
If you just want to go in, lift some weights, and head home, we would recommend another fitness center. However, if you want to treat yourself and enjoy an experience both during and after your workout, then we are the place for you.
We aim to be a counterpoint to the standard seen in the fitness industry. That’s what THEGYM is rooted in. Presence, quality, and exclusivity. Your place for “me-time” at the forefront.
OUR MISSION
WE RAISE THE BAR FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT
Quality, presence, elegant surroundings, a high level of facilities and your me-time are at the center.
At THEGYM, we focus on high quality. That’s why you’ll find the latest machines, effective Small Group concepts, and personal training tailored specifically to you — all in an exclusive atmosphere in the heart of Aarhus.
Here you can combine your workout with the ultimate recharge in our RELAX department, where you’ll find saunas, treatment rooms and a team of skilled therapists ready to help you boost your training performance.
Welcome to THEGYM, where YOUR training and wellness becomes an extraordinary journey.
We are always on the lookout for skilled staff, please send an unsolicited application here.
