    My review is ambiguous: The gym itself, in terms of equipment, opening hours, maintenance of machines etc. is absolutely great. Has an "old school 1970s barbell house" vibe to it. I very much enjoyed training here and you will find everything you need for a good workout. ItĀ“s also clean, well-kept and there are never really that many people, even in the evening hours. A Brazilian trainer who works as a personal trainer is super friendly and always has a smile on her face. Nice atmosphere, nice crowd. However, there is an employee who usually works at reception who is unfortunately quite rude. I only saw one creature that she was friendly to and that creature was the dog that always sleeps on top of the counter. IĀ“ve trained in gyms around the globe, on all continents, over the last 20 years but I canĀ“t recall meeting a more unfriendly staff member at a gymĀ“s registration desk ever. When you walk in, she usually stares into her phone and if youĀ“re lucky, she looks up when you give her your membership card. Other than that, a nice place to train.

    I strongly recommend to avoid this place. Extremely rude receptionist and owner. It felt like they had something against foreigners. Context: I was on holidays, didnā€™t have much clothes with me, so I put on a pair of jeans. It wouldnā€™t be much trouble as I was going to train my upper body. A T-shirt would do the job. When I arrived, I was asked for cash which I didnā€™t have on me. I went all the way back home and came back to the gym. Walking in for the second time, she tells me I cannot train because of the jeans. I kindly explain her my situation, that I didnā€™t have other options and I was going to train the upper body. She answered me very coldly: ā€œNo itā€™s the rulesā€. I asked her ā€œwhere is this rule written? Do you have this explained on the website or somewhere else?ā€. I could see she could not answer me and got very nervous and rude: ā€œItā€™s like that, itā€™s the rule in Portugal!ā€. I really doubt there is a law or some kind of gym organisation that prohibit the jeans in the gymā€¦ So I tried to explain my holiday situation again. Next step, she called the owner. He opened the window situated above the counter. She told him what was the issue, almost screaming. First contact with the owner was him screaming at me and pointing his finger at the door: ā€œYou wonā€™t train with those jeans, get out!ā€. He closed the window and went downstairs. At the look of it, he was ready to confront me physically. I didnā€™t want that and had to leave. Iā€™ve been to many gym in different countries. I am not a beginner. Wearing a pair of jeans is not a big deal. No need to get to that level of disrespect. This is the worst experience Iā€™ve ever had at a gym. Shocking.

    The front desk lady was so rude. She kept looking at her phone and I had to call her attention to get a gym tour. She seemed really bothered that I asked, hasnā€™t explained anything about the gym. It was such a surreal experience. Iā€™ve never seen anything like that before.

    This is a fantastic gym/fitness! You can do a day pass for 5ā‚¬ plus another ā‚¬1 for towel rental (you can also just bring your own towel and not pay extra). It includes use of a very clean locker (key provided by the gym) and shower. Highly recommended! You can use all the machines. The staff are also super Friendly and most of them speaks English. Go during lunch or morning when there are fewer people.

  • 2/5 Lana L. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym is close to my place, and regardless training machines are really old and very often out of order, floor is dirty and slippery, I am visiting it 3 times a week. But now I am facing a problem of gender discrimination from gyms administrator. Despite I really respect rules of the gym, he always find a reason to pick on me. But this time itā€™s really far from the frames. Yesterday I was told, that I am breathing too loudly when exercising. I never heard him saying anything like that to any man, exercising there, much more ā€œloudā€. Come on, this is a training place!I am shocked and stressed. I would never recommend to any foreign lady to visit this place, if you do not want to be abused and offended.

  • 1/5 BoNiTuGa o. 3 months ago on Google ā€¢ 38 reviews New
    Attention! I registered on December 14th, paid the registration fee + insurance. Supposedly I would have the right to use the complex until the 14th of January, until on the 2nd of January they wouldn't let me in saying that I would have to pay the month of January plus annual insurance. What I was not informed about when I joined on the 14th of December and being completely surprised, I told the lady at the counter that I would only stay in this area until the 15th and she replied that I could pay for half a month. In other words, the establishment had the courage to charge me for the whole month in the middle of December when I could pay half a month since it was the 14th and want to charge more insurance for half a month in January because it is supposedly annual!!! I thought it was embarrassing and I'll find out if it's legal.

    The gym is great and has everything one might need, although itā€™s falling apart a little. Visitors are all friendly and welcoming except the person in the front desk who is very mean for some reason

    Solid gym, not crowded, but beware the mopey guy at the front desk. He wouldnā€™t accept 90 cents for a towel (which costs 1 euro) so I had to break a 20. Also he forgot to ask back for the key they give and I forgot to give it, so I just brought it back the next day and apologized. He decides to scold me, ā€œyou canā€™t take the key homeā€ he says. Wow, relax buddy and maybe learn about customer service.

    Has everything necessary. If you are staying in Lisbon for just a while, day pass for 5 Euros is perfect. Just bring shoes and towel.

    I stopped by this gym today and asked the woman at the front desk about become a member but she canā€™t speak English She didnā€™t want to deal with me at all so I just left. This place is not really welcoming for the foreigners.

  • 5/5 Rosy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Proper old style gym. Huge selection of machines. Reasonable price. Sells proteins etc at the front desk. Chap who runs the place very polite. Bring a spare pair of shoes as required during covid times. Only issues are lack of adjustable height cables and no shoulder raise, but there's literally everything else. Hack squat, calf raises of both kinds. No calisthenics frames but many mounter bars. Would recommend.

    Rusty smelly dungeon with worn out equipment and the most rude service Iā€™ve ever seen. I was asked to leave the place in a very rude manner without money refund: The first time because the girl who was jn charge decided that my sporting sandals were not suitable, requested me to wear sneakers and I refused. The second time I was asked out just because I refused to rent their towel for additional price. This place is just a scam.

    Rough and old school gym. Lots of different machines in various condition and a bunch of friendly regulars. Day pass is ā‚¬5 and well worth it. Just make sure you're done before 10 am to avoid crowds.

    It's a small but very good gym. The environment is good and has the necessary machines for most exercises. I haven't had to wait for the machines I wanted to use yet. Excellent for those who live in the area.

  • 5/5 Emil A. 5 months ago on Google ā€¢ 18 reviews
    An old school gym with all the equipment you need for a good gym session. The weight room was somewhat small and can be crowded during rush hour. Staff spoke English and was very serviceminded. Everything was top notch.

    Great selection of old school machines for bodybuilding. Good air con. 5 euro for day pass. The barbells look good but a little roughed up, so weightlifting and powerlifting might not be optimal here, but I still think this place is your best bet. I loved the place.

    A no-joke gym. So much equipment, you can hardly find such gyms even in NYC. Cardio section is awesome, it even has a Concept 2 rower. A bit dated but has everything you need for a 10/10 workout, friendly staff, some speak English. Day passes available. Not crowded.

    Great gym.Not a luxurious one,but it has everything needed and very affordable.I saw some comments about staff friendliness and I guess itā€™s very subjective.Everyone has been nice to me at all times.Gym working hours are great. They also have personal trainer services. Iā€™m working out with the guidance of Antonio .Heā€™s very professional and a nice person too. Overall experience is worth 5 stars.Highly recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Lukas E. 2 years ago on Google
    Requires you to bring a second pair of shoes to prevent COVID. Says this is a legal requirement, but the other three gyms I went to in Lisbon did not require shoes. I work as a contact tracer and have never heard of anyone getting COVID from shoes, or avoiding COVID because of a second pair of shoes. I walked an hour to get to this gym, and was disappointed to be turned away because I only had one pair of shoes. Call first.

    Came here as a tourist and I was very welcomed. The gym is big, clean and has everything you need. A day pass is 5ā‚¬ and you have to bring an ID or passport. I had some good workouts. Would defiantly go there again.

    Best gym option if you are living in Graca. The monthly price is around 30ā‚¬. Even though it looks like an old gym, itā€™s well equipped and you can find everything you want !

    I've been at this gym for a year and the overall experience is good. Sometimes employees have corrected my posture during an exercise, which is appreciated since I am self-taught when it comes to training. I have lost the card a couple of times and everything is fine, it hasn't turned out to be any problem. The next day I had a new one and that was it. I think that if you live in the area it is the best you will find nearby.

  • 4/5 Darren F. 4 years ago on Google
    First up I read reviews so I took a current Australian drivers licence with pic and Visa cards in same name. Skinny guy behind counter says no I need a Passport. I said I didnā€™t need a passport to get into Portugal. He insists I go get me passport. So 20 Euros later from my Uber trips I come back with that precious passport. No skinny guy. Just a big boy. He asks for 5 Euro and says enjoy your workout. No mention of passport Great gym. Old school equipment. Clean. Not to busy. So to the owner of this gym. Maybe speak to the skinny guy and maybe some flexibility. Just common sense man. I would have given two stars but the rest of the staff were great. And the gym is really good.
