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.

She was enthusiastic, played great music and kept our energy up the whole class! Good instruction & I feel her class had more variety than your average spin class. Fun! The facility is brand new and sparkling clean. Rental shoes are available (much appreciated when one is traveling) and they have a shower space too. The bikes are pristine and the spin room has good sound system, lighting & a/c. Overall an excellent experience - definitely recommend!!

There is a nice view from the gym but some of the devices are old, and some of the computer functions are blocked or broken (for example heart beat sensors).

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

In Barcelona there are a lot of places for culture, art and the sights, as well as fab wine and…read morefood, but not so many that provide a boutique workout as well as a truly excellent instructor. Studio 180 and the owner, Fiona, provides quality instruction and the quaint, authentic environs of the old city. As I take Pilates back in the States, I signed up to take Studio 180's signature morning Pilates class. There were two other ladies in class with me, one Spanish speaking and the other spoke English. Fiona easily kept both languages up, in a calming but firm voice, and lead us through a vigorous but not painful hour class. The studio is on a quiet street, up a bit of a hill (pre-workout warm up! post workout cool down!), in the safe and mulit-national neighborhood of Poble Sec. It took me just 4 minutes walk up from Av Paralel and the metro stop (purple or green line, exit on the Nou de la Rambla side, near the Apolo). Really liked the tranquil feel of this small, but spacious studio. It could easily fit 8 clients, so as we were 3 it was lots of room to spread out with the props Fiona's classes provide (at no extra charge) for the class. The overall charge is a bargain at 10€ and she has packages. There are other types of classes too, but haven't tried those yet. Definitely my favorite place to workout in Barcelona and have personalized, excellent instruction. TL/dr: fitness classes in a personalized setting at a great price in historic BCN

Great yoga studio! Love the teachers…read more I am taking the beginner's class and it's perfect for me. The stretching and the meditation are very relaxing and I seriously feel like a new person at the end of class. I've had sciatica problems in the past and I mentioned this to my instructor Carla.

They sell cute yoga clothes and equipment.. The studio is tranquil and peaceful & very clean. They sell packages but I opt for the drop in class. It's totally worth every penny (or euro here). Can't beat it! I highly recommend this place!
