They had a great deal, I was able to get one month for only 11 euros! I will say, I recommended doing the registration process at home from a laptop. When I went in to sign up, I had to do it on my phone and it look quite some time for everything to load as I put in my information. As for the equipment inside the gym, I felt there was extensive options to choose from. Lots of cardio machines (treadmill, elliptical, etc.), free weights, mats, etc. The place was very clean, too! The gym also offers a lot of group classes. Although I haven't tried one yet, I'm excited to check them out soon! I look forward to going here over the next few months!

Guest review June 7th 2024 (American) Guest pass 10 euros…read more Solid gym that always seems busy. This is my first gym (and visit) in Spain, and it is pretty solid. It is a tall gym that has 5 floors and a 90s-00s club vibe. It's really closer to a 4.5 for being a really good value for guests, but it's hard to give 5 stars if you're always waiting on equipment. Pros- full locker room with showers Free WiFi 10$ guess pass !!!! Hours are solid 600a (I know) to 1000p (I believe) Very good lighting and lots of windows Equipment and floor are clean Good amount of cardio equipment (and variety) Machines are newer matrix equipment Open roof for sunbathing Front staff is friendly (and speak decent English) Gym users had a friendly vibe Cons- Where are the Water fountains? Limited weights on the dumbbells (10-40kg) Also dumbbells are the old circle, bouncy kind Too crowded to switch machines, benches, etc Limited amount of plates for the few free weights. Only 1 power and 1 squat rack (always occupied) Limited (and occupied) mirror space

The gym is definitely my safe place...especially after traveling and gorging on delicious food…read morearound the world. This gym saved me on my most recent trip to Barcelona, Spain. Situation just across the park near Born district. Seeing a familiar gym with English was definitely a warm welcoming. Trying to find a gym (weights, cardio machines, ect.) in Europe is tougher than it seems. My girlfriend and I came here on the tail end of our European "food" tour. A much needed place to put all those carbs to good use. The gym was perfect and quaint. Had plenty of cardio equipment. Treadmills, stairs, and bikes. Had enough weights for the amount of people in there. They even had two squat racks and a deadlifting setup. TV's all over with ok music in the background. The gym trainers that signed us up for our 4 day pass were extremely friendly and spoke great English (our Spanish isn't). For a place to get a great workout in Barcelona, I would highly recommend. Definitely a great place for locals and even tourists like ourselves.

There are classes throughout the day, a spinning room, weight machines, a large free weight and stretch room, suspension cables, pool, spa, turkish bath, treadmills, etc.., etc.. Yes, everything! Oh, and there's even a beauty center for facials, and massages. BUT THE BEST PART for me was the free session with a personal trainer. He takes into consideration your age, weight, health concerns, and all other aspects of your body and then sets you up on a program. You're given a fob key to plug into all the recommended machines and the screen will instruct on seat position, amount of weights, and the number of repetitions. It's like having a personal trainer with you everyday at the gym. The staff here are all very friendly (and attractive, lol) and are very helpful. Showers are large and private. Oh, and don't forget your toiletries! Locker area is quite spacious as well. There are a few locations around Barcelona, Madrid, and other international cities and members get access too all of them. Obviously it's a little pricier than the other gyms, but IMHO it is totally worth it!

I am disappointed to see so many 3 star reviews, so I will happily add my input…read more I will start by saying I heavily lean toward free weight/body weight training and look for facilities with classes. I did not use much of DiR's equipment besides the treadmill and free weights (I was comfortable with the weight range provided). Highlights of this gym that made me sign up here and not their competitors : - free classes - private "bootcamp" training room - private spin (cycling) room - 2 private yoga/fitness class rooms - boxing area - sauna - steam room and pool - roof top with lounge chairs The private rooms used for classes are available for personal use outside of class hours. This was a huge plus for me, as I really enjoyed the bootcamp room. Large tv screens play continuous workout circuits to follow along. Free weights, a bench and treadmills are provided in the room so there is nothing you need to bring besides your water bottle. Other positives : - clean locker rooms/showers - friendly staff (some speak great English) - reasonably priced membership - large and small towels provided My reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the disappointing pool. There is a small "heated pool" on the lower level which is a little chilly for being heated and is much too small to swim laps. The other DiR locations have lap pools, but I learned the hard way there is an extra cost to use the other DiR facilities. Pool aside, if I were to live in the city again I would gladly continue my DiR membership!

Service: 5/5 Equipment: 3/5…read more I have a love-hate relationship with this gym. People that work here are all genuinely friendly and helpful. No one gets in a way, no one gives you attitude. It feels nice. Where the gym is lacking, however, is in equipment. For a beginner or an intermediate trainee, it's not too bad. You have you standard set of treadmills, machines, some weights, stretching area. For anyone serious about training, the gym is mediocre-ish: - Dumbbells go only up to 38kg (and they have 36kg missing) - Kettlebells selection is pretty limited (there's 2x8kg, 2x12kg, 2x16kg, 20kg, 24kg) - They don't have belt w. chain for weighted pull-ups/dips - The bench press has an awkward height (it's either too high or too low) - There's only 1 squat rack And, of course, this is a standard commercial gym, which means no rings, sleds, prowlers, sprint tracks, ropes, etc. On the plus side, they have foam rollers, few bands, some heavy bags (although no full-height; kicks not allowed) and a standalone pull-up bar with plenty of space on top, where you can do muscle-ups. One more thing -- while the trainers are nice folks, barely anyone is actually competent, so think twice before getting one :/ Things I've seen: coaching someone ridiculously-looking snatch (if you can call it that); telling a client "good job" while she's doing half-good-morning-half-squat with poor form; making someone kick a heavy bag with absolutely atrocious form; making someone half-squat on a bosu ball while holding onto dumbbells; coach improper squat-like swings; etc.

I don't know if it is because I am a foreigner or discrmination, they all the time asked me for the account of bank to register, cash or credit card is not acceptable! Only the first week you can try with cash! The funny thing was when I finished my first class of cycling, then I have 30mins of personal trainer free of charge at 11am，so I went to the reception to ask where I could find. They told me the place, but I could not go at the time. Come on it was 11:08am！No explanation! I just left! I think if they don't like their job, they could change, there are still many unemployment in Spain!

I'm rather excited to be the first person to review this place. So much to say, since I have been…read morethere 8 of my 9 days in Barcelona. First off, my hotel, Le Meridien (Ramblas) provided free daily passes to my friend and me. I wanted to swim, and though the pool at Holmes wasn't a typical full-size pool, it was easily long enough as a lap pool. It felt like it was about 15 yards long, and had 3 standard sized lanes. It was heated just right too, and immaculate, with was completely encased in stainless steel (including the bottom). Amazing jacuzzi, sauna, and steam rooms (all coed, unlike at Equinox). The people at the club are all very clean and no meatheads. The staff is exceedingly nice, and the place, again, is immaculate. Everything from cotton swabs to towels are provided. Pool has kickboards, fins, and other stuff for swimmer types. They have classes, though we just watched them. Best part is that unlike Equinox, it's not overly crowded. I think it's 70 euros for monthly membership, but seemed expensive if you wanted to pay for day passes (I think about 20 euros). The club also has amazing food, and at a great price. Probably some of the best meals we had were at Holme's Place. Very healthy too. They serve you a 3-course meal (e.g. salad, entree, dessert) for 11 euros. You can sub a coffee for the dessert too. And the WiFi is free, so you can work out, then eat, and get some work done in a lovely dining room. Equinox could learn a thing or two from this place. I will miss it immensely. And of course, it helped that the girl at the front desk was very cute. One of the prettiest girls I've seen during my stay..
