Whenever I stay in Playa and not in an all inclusive (which I quite prefer...all inclusives are not my thing, especially in this town with so many great places to go to), then I'll go to this gym. I have been going there for two years now during my stays and have always been treated absolutely great. They have a great team of staff. The gym itself has all the machines one needs to do a full workout. It is a bit tight in some places, but I've never struggled with that. In my opinion, this place rocks and I know I am not alone with that opinion, as the place is very well attended. When you go, don't forget to try one of their before or after workout drinks they make there. I can only recommend this place!! Well done, your My Gym of choice in Playa, hands down!! read more

The Gym is in the same area as Evolve (just 2 blocks away) it is more expensive for a month I think it was around 75$ for The Gym which I think is outrageous for Mexico, but sigh welcome to 2020- what isn't insane at this point, and around $45 for Evolve. At the Gym I know its cheaper for locals to visit so if you have a Mexican friend or contact, see if they can get the membership for you. There's no pool, jacuzzi, steam room or sauna. Lockers are included and during the covid error they give you a free towel when your first join and thats it - no towel service. There are showers and a changing area. If you're debating between here and Evolve...and you want to live....come here. I joined for a month during the CoVid era and this was the only gym I thought wouldn't kill me. The crossfit gyms, though cheap in comparison to states, were not airy enough for me and at the Evolve gyms no one followed the mask rules. The main Evolve gym on 5th just felt like one big petri dish of coronavirus - the way it is designed (just one big open space) and the fake that ppl didn't even fake wearing their mask, ugh and it was hot after walking up maybe 7 steps to get to the main area....I may not be in Olympic shape but Im not sure they have proper ventilation or strong enough AC, at The Gym I didn't sweat just from walking or around. Other than that both checked my temperature upon entering the facilities and had hand sanitizer on deck. One more perk of The Gym, is that they close every.single.day from 12 - 2 to do a deep cleaning. Not sure if Evolve does that as well but its nice to know they are trying to keep ppl virus free. The smoothie bar is currently closed. The Gym has all the machines you can think of and it wasn't that crowded when I went in the mornings. They still have fitness classes which they limit the number of participants, but I still wouldn't recommend it - they close the door to the fitness room and don't require you to wear a mask when in class...can you say corona?! Yet, if you are in the other part of the gym the open area - you have to keep the mask on over your nose and mouth even if you are on the treadmill. I've seen one person with their nose out and one wanna be cosmetically enhanced influencer with her mask as a chin strap but other than that, over 30 days ppl wanted to live and wear their mask correctly over their nose and mouth. There's a bike rack out front across the street and the area seems super safe and just to help out the males if you're looking for a local fit boo this is the place, there was always more woman than men in the gym everytime I went. See ya there! read more

This is definitely the best gym in Playa Del Carmen. Its huge, clean and has pretty much all the equipment you will need. There is never any wait on the equipment here and they have a good juicebar! They have a variety of different classes from cycle to crossfit. They also have free wifi which is great, believe me! There are 2 drawbacks 1) They don't have water fountains so you have to either buy or bring your own water 2) Its pretty pricey. 7 day packages is about $80 (buy 5 days and get 2 free) bucks or $16 per day. read more

$200 pesos a day, for using "The Gym?" Are you loco? Gold's Gym in he USA is the equivalent of $500. Peso per Month, no contract! I think you see a tourist coming; no thanks! A jog and swim on the beach, one block away is free and I will do planks in my room. ***************************** read more

Nice gym in Playa. Clean and well equipped, Smoothie bar to make it all even better. Can feel a little crowded early in the morning but the people mostly seem respectful. Happy to join this place. read more

I saw the review and I didn't get a towel was 55 a month . This gym is nice because they keep it nice and cold. Evolve can get hot. This has never equipment and a bit nicer atmosphere. It worth the few dollars more a month I feel. read more

Great gym. Really clean and machines and equipment are organised in a very logical way. I never had to wait for any equipment, even though I went on a couple of busy evenings. The changing room was clean and tidy. There's also a fantastic juice bar which is great after a workout. The reception staff, however, were rather unwelcoming, bordering on impolite. Daily and weekly membership here are rather pricey. read more

Ok so "the gym" let's see ... It worked for me ... For 200 pesos you can work out of the day , clean place , okay equipment , looked like there were some classes going on anyway , my hotel that I'm staying didn't offer a full equipped gym aka no squat bar , no bench press so I needed to deadlift and overhead press and I'm a girl so there were enough plates for me anyways the reason I give it a 4 is because there is no water fountain so you have to buy the water bottles for 20 pesos , I drink a lot of water throughout my work out so I wished there was a water fountain anyways at the end of the work out I ordered a whey shake for 90 pesos which was good and refreshing , they don't have unsweetened almond milk so I mixed it with water and a little bit of almond milk , Good variety of shakes and I will Probably go back one more time before heading home to the US :) read more

If I lived here would I have a membership here? Nope. Yes it is nice and they have some great classes but the space is SO CRAMPED. Weight machines and racks on top of each other. The treadmills literally touch each other. Low ceiling. Half-height mirrors that must really drive the mirror-admiring bros nuts. People put their water bottles and towels on the equipment to prevent you from using it so they can hog it. Terribly rude. When I saw the small studio with a class doing TRX I about choked. You are a foot and a half away from the person next to you. .forget about doing delt y exercises...most of the things you will do are on a vertical plane. No thanks. All I wanted to do when I left there was sit and relax in WIDE OPEN SPACE with nothing or no one touching me. read more

Although the gym is not large, it is well equipped with exercise equipment for a good workout after eating all those good food in the resort. read more

"The gym" is very nice. Good location. Great equipment. I have to say it is pretty pricey for the locals and tourists. For this price I would like them to provide free water. They have a lovely juice bar. read more

Had a membership here for a few days from staying at the Porto Playa condo hotel. The equipment and ambience was very nice, all top of the line stuff. The staff however has a bit of an attitude problem however. They act like you are bothering them when you come in and tried to turn some of my family away even after we showed them our passes. Very odd. read more

Truly fabulous gym. You can feel the Equinox touch here. Very clean. Solid equipment. Great cardio machines. Juice bar girl on Saturday afternoon was very helpful and got us exactly what we needed. Would def come back! read more
