This was one of the first gyms to open on the Costa del Sol in the early 1980's. It has only changed hands once in all that time. It is one of the friendliest clubs in the area and conveniently situated right in the centre of Fuengirola, next to underground parking. The gym is professionally run by a husband and wife team (he is English and she is Spanish). The place has undergone extensive refurbishment and expansion, with considerable investment in state-of-the-art facilities, including Jacuzzi, saunas, new changing rooms, and added exercise rooms. A superb three tiered room dedicated to indoor bike (Spinning) classes has been constructed and there is also now a new, large and airy Pilates/Yoga/Thai Chi room. The Pilates classes by fully qualified Stott Pilates expert, Sara Osorio. There is a Transformer Pilates machine for one-to-one training. Other classes are; Kick Boxing, Ju-Jitsu and Hip Hop, aerobic, step, etc. There is such a wide range of classes (timetabled from 8:15 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.) that it would be best to contact the gym direct for details.

This is one of the newest sports clubs in this area and is very popular with Spanish and foreigners alike. The gym is bright and clean and well equipped with cardiovascular machines, as well as a good free weights area. There is one open plan aerobic room where the classes on offer include, power dumbbell, step, body conditioning, circuit training and spinning. Although the classes are all given in Spanish, at least one of the instructors is English, if you need help. There is a sauna, steam bath and Jacuzzi room which is open alternate days for male and female members. There is also UVA sun treatment available and a beauty room. There is no air conditioning and the summer months can be pretty stifling, especially in the aerobics room, where the windows are sealed shut, due to noise levels annoying the neighbours!

This is a very small gym on the left hand side of the road going out of Fuengirola, in the direction of the village of Mijas. This gym has been going for many years and has a mainly Spanish clientele, with just a few British members. It has been recently refurbished and is clean and quite friendly, but with limited space and equipment. It has the usual cardiovascular machines and some free weights, but little space for stretching. There is one aerobics room and a restricted timetable of classes, including aerobics, step, body conditioning, etc. There are other activities, such as yoga - but these are sporadic and sometimes called off at the last minute.

This is a small gym, which specialises in classes, rather than weights and machines. Activities on offer range from aerobics, body pump and step, to yoga pilates and dance. Some of the staff and instructors are Spanish and some are other nationalities, most of them being able to speak in English if necessary. At Corposano (healthy body) you can also have a healthy fruit juice before or after your classes. This is a very friendly little club, but the changing room facilities are small and fairly limited.

(2 minutes walk from Fuengirola Train Station towards Los Boliches)
Tel: +(34) 952 470 044
Although this is a Spanish run gym, some to the instructors are English. The gym itself is more geared towards weight training than cardiovascular, although there are machines for both. There is one aerobic room off the gym and there is a good range of classes on offer, including aerobics, gym-jazz, step, Taikwondo, etc. The owner of this gym is a medical doctor and body builder from Venezuela and he speaks very good English. The gym is in a basement and therefore has no natural light and the changing rooms are fairly small, but there is an overall friendly atmosphere and the classes are professional and motivating. There are also sauna and UVA sun treatment facilities available.
