Our Story

Born from Passion

ConnectWaves Istanbul was created with one vision: to make world-class fitness accessible for everyone. Since opening in 2018, our mission has been to bring people together through movement, health, and community.

Stronger Every Year

From a modest training studio, we’ve grown into a 2,000 m² fitness hub in the heart of Istanbul. But our true growth is measured in the thousands of members who’ve transformed their lives with us.
