😐 It’s an okay gym You’ll find what you need to work out. 500 Rupees for a day pass is a little too much though 250 would be adequate considering the dirtiness and condition of the place. No aircon but that shouldn’t be a problem when living/traveling in such a warm country anyways. 800 SLR for two... People often mention workout, good, equipment, friendly, staff, recommend, protein, Good, nice, helpful,

    Needed a gym for a month while I was in Weligama and worked out at both this gym and Fitness First Weligama which is a 3 mins walk away. The per day fee is LKR 500 at this gym and the owner (super friendly and jacked) said he could do LKR 5000 for the month. They don’t have air con and it gets pretty crowded in the afternoon. The day pass at the other gym is LKR 1000 but the monthly fee is LKR 4500 so I ended up training at the other gym. The atmosphere at this gym is better and the fact that they open the windows makes it comfortable (but hot). The equipment between the 2 gyms is very similar with the heaviest DBs @ 30KG. I’d definitely workout here as you can get a great workout in but would recommend Fitness First as there are less people.

    My wife and I were visiting Weligama for a week and wanted to find somewhere to train whilst there. This gym is great! The owner is very friendly and welcoming and the gym has all the equipment you need. A brilliant place to train, highly recommended.

    Amazing gym. All you need to workout. Quite cheap as well (500 rupies for 1 training and 1500 for 4 trainings). Consider 500 rupies for a protein scoop blended with 2 bananas.

    2500 for 4 days we paid which was a good price. As it was a pretty good gym, there is 3 Cardio running machines. A few machines and free weights/benches. Everything you need for a good work out. Good music as well, everyone was friendly. My only reason why I am giving 4/5 is because............. I'm sorry this may sound bad, but a lot of guys in the gym was very smelly, really not nice. Boys use some deodorant!!!!!!!!!!

    We visited Weligama Bay on holiday and bought a weeks membership at Southern Fitness to keep up weight training while on holiday. The gym was a pleasant surprise with proper Olympic bars, squat rack and plenty of equipment to get a proper workout. Much better than a hotel gym which often has some cardio equipment and dumbbells which are too light. The staff were friendly and helpful. Take plenty of water and a sweat towel is a must 😉

    Very hard to train. Very hot no fan. Cable is really bad but you have good barbell and dumbell is 30kg for the higher.

    I’m so glad I found an actual decent gym, it has everything you need. Decent cable machine with adjustable height, really nice squat rack which also doubles up with shoulder workouts if you’re doing military press, row machine, lat pull down machine. I could go on naming all the equipment they have but basically it’s a really decent gym and you won’t find anywhere better around. Membership fee is responsible. The staff are great, alway there if you need a spot. They also sell decent protein powders. Overall I can’t recommend this place more if you’re into the gym. There no A/C and that’s just how I like it, more of a challenge!

    Good gym, it wasn’t as hot as I expected it to be (but still baking so bring a small towel if you can) and has everything you need for a good workout. Staff member was really nice and spotted me on the bench! More suited to bodybuilders. Good protein shake too with bananas.

    Conveniently located gym right in the heart of Weligama. A fair amount of rather old home equipment is available. Still suitable for a decent workout though. Staff is super friendly and eager to help you out. The gym can get pretty crowded and hot. Slightly overpriced compared to other gyms in Sri Lanka (500 rupees).

    I visited this gym several times during my time around Weligima. I can honestly it was great. As a tourist looking to get a solid workout out in, it can be quite hard around Sri Lanka as of the lack of gyms. It has all the equipment you need Bench press, squat rack, Smith machine, dumbbells and many machines. I was more than satisfied! I recommend if you're a tourist and you need to get a good workout in. Give this a gym a go! The staff were very friendly...provided me with a protein shake after the workout at a very reasonable price. As protein is hard to get around here. I also did a pinpoint leg workout with the owner of the gym, pushed me through my paces which was excellent. I can't recommend this place highly enough, the best I've been to in Sri Lanka! Thanks guys! 👍

    Thank you for the awesome session with Musfir! He was super thoughtful and adapted my session to my needs and accounted for my knee problems.

  • 5/5 ALBERTO L. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For 500 Rupias gym more than recommended. The access is a bit hidden but if you look closely you see the posters going up the stairs. The heaviest dumbbells are 30 kg. The gym is clean and the machines have no rust. The monitor is nice and offers to help you in whatever you need. (Original) Por 500 Rupias gimnasio más que recomendable. El acceso está un poco escondido pero si te fijas bien ves los carteles subiendo las escaleras. Las mancuernas más pesadas son de 30 kg. El gimnasio está limpio y las máquinas no tienen óxido. El monitor es agradable y se ofrece a ayudarte en lo que necesites.

    Gym is pretty dirty and equipment is rusty. It’s pretty dark and dim, sort of felt like prison gym.

    (Translated by Google) all trainers are worn out, it’s not possible to engage in some. there is no air conditioning, it’s probably good if you lose weight, you lose 15 liters of fluid for training (Original) все тренадеры изношенны, на некоторых заниматься не возможно. нет кондиционера, возможно это и хорошо если вы худеете, за тренеровку литров 15 жидкости потеряете

    This gym has everything you need for a good workout, whether passing through or staying long term, especially for the cheap price. The staff was amazing, helpful and kind. Also, do yourself a favour and grab a banana chocolate protein shake on the way out!
