Sarıyer Fitness Club — O'Wellness Sky
Over 1,800 m² of strength, cardio and functional training space at Skyland Istanbul; a measurement-based programme, certified trainer support and access from 06:00 to 23:00, seven days a week.
You join a programme, not a gym .
O'Wellness Sky is an 1,800 m² wellness club in the Skyland Istanbul complex on Azerbaycan Caddesi, in Sarıyer's Huzur Mahallesi neighbourhood. Our fitness floor was not planned as a classic gym with machines lined up one after another; it is laid out as four distinct training zones — strength, cardio, functional and athletic performance . Every member goes through a complimentary assessment session when their membership begins and builds their weekly programme around those measurements.
On this page you will find everything you want to know in your search for fitness in Sarıyer: equipment and spaces, how to get started, sample weekly programmes by level, combining group classes with reformer pilates, personal training options, recovery facilities and how membership works.
The fitness floor: four zones, one programme
1. Strength zone
The free-weight area, equipped with olympic bars and plates, a dumbbell set, kettlebells, squat racks, bench stations and cable machines. There is space suited to working inside the rack, plus safety bars, so you can perform compound movements (squat, hinge, push, pull) safely. Machine variations of the same movement patterns are also available for beginners.
2. Cardio zone
Treadmills, ellipticals, upright and recumbent bikes, a rowing ergometer, a ski erg and a stair climber. Overlooking the Bosphorus and the city skyline, the setting eases the boredom that makes long cardio sessions hardest to sustain.
3. Functional area
Sled, battle ropes, plyo boxes, medicine balls, a TRX suspension system, stability balls and open floor space. This is where work on everyday movement patterns (carrying, pushing, pulling, jumping) takes place; O'Hiit and Master Fit classes also use this area.
4. Athletic performance studio
A separate space dedicated to speed, agility and explosive power work. It is used by our athlete members and those with performance goals; for advanced testing and programming we work together with O'Athletic Sky , in the same complex.
How do you start? A four-step process
- A complimentary facility tour and trial day. You tour the spaces, join a group class and see how our trainers work.
- Assessment session. Body composition analysis (body fat, muscle mass, regional distribution), movement screening, injury history and health declaration, and a goal conversation.
- Programme setup. Strength, cardio and class distribution are planned according to how many days a week you can commit, your goal and your movement quality.
- Follow-up and revision. Measurements are repeated every four weeks and loads and volume are updated accordingly.
This process is included in your membership at no extra charge. If you prefer one-to-one training you can continue with personal training packages.
Sample weekly programmes by level
The tables below are a starting point; the final programme is personalised after your assessment.
| Level | Days per week | Sample split | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 3 | 2 strength (full body) + 1 mat pilates | Technique, habit, movement quality |
| Intermediate | 4 | 2 strength (upper/lower) + 1 cycle + 1 reformer | Muscle mass, conditioning, posture |
| Advanced | 5 | 3 strength + 1 HIIT + 1 recovery | Performance, body composition |
We set out the principles of strength training and a 12-week starter plan in detail in our strength training guide .
Combining with group classes
Fitness membership covers all 24 different group classes taught seven days a week. For members who find training with weights alone difficult, classes bring both consistency and a social frame to the programme. The most common combinations:
- Weight management: 2 strength days + O'Ride Cycle + Tabata
- Toning and posture: 2 strength days + Barre + Reformer Pilates
- Conditioning: 2 strength days + Master Of Cycle + O'Row
- Flexibility and recovery: 3 strength days + Mobility & Stretching
For current times see the weekly schedule page.
Personal training and specialist support
For those who want to train one-to-one, we offer 50-minute sessions with our certified trainers. The three situations where PT makes the biggest difference: complete beginners (technique settles within the first 8 weeks), those on a plateau (the programme and loading change) and those with a specific health condition (lower back or knee problems, post-operative periods). Because sports physiotherapist and dietitian is under the same roof, training, rehabilitation and nutrition are coordinated on a single calendar.
Antrenman sonrası: toparlanma ve spa
Ağır kuvvet günlerinin ertesinde mobility and deep stretch yoga classes support active recovery. We covered why recovery matters as much as training in our recovery guide .
Who is it for?
- Professionals working along the Maslak, Ayazağa, Seyrantepe and Levent corridor who want to train before or after work
- Residents of Sarıyer, Zekeriyaköy, İstinye and Etiler looking for a boutique, uncrowded club
- Beginners with no previous gym experience who want guidance and a programme
- Those with a concrete goal such as weight management, muscle mass or correcting posture
- Spa ve masaj hizmetini aynı kompleks içinde isteyenler
- People over 40 who take muscle loss and bone density seriously

I've never trained before — how should I start at the gym?
Every guest beginning a membership goes through a complimentary assessment session: a body composition analysis, a movement screen and a goal conversation. Your trainer then builds a programme around the number of days a week you can commit. The first four weeks focus on technique and habit; you do not start with heavy loads.
Are group classes included in fitness membership?
Yes. All 24 different group classes taught seven days a week are included in every membership category. Because reformer pilates classes have limited places, they are offered with a weekly allowance in the Fitness + Reformer and Full Access packages. Current times are on the weekly schedule page.
What time does the gym open and close?
We are open 06:00–23:00 on weekdays and 08:00–21:00 at weekends. The 06:00 opening was designed for members who want to train before work. Changes to hours on public holidays are announced at reception and on our social media accounts.
Do I have to take personal training?
No. The complimentary assessment and programme setup are included in your membership, and our trainers on the floor are always there to help. If you prefer one-to-one training, 50-minute personal training sessions can be bought in packages.
Is there a separate area for women?
Our fitness floor is shared. Reformer pilates, barre, yoga and mat pilates, which our female members choose most often, take place in separate studios in small groups. A female trainer option is available for those who prefer one-to-one training.

Prices vary according to the category you choose (Fitness, Fitness + Reformer, Full Access) and the term (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, annual). We share a tailored offer once you have filled in the enquiry form , and you are welcome to visit the facility to discuss it in person.
