My partner and I are looking for a well equipped and reasonably priced gym in Marbella, preferably close to the city centre, does anyone know if one exists...?
I just read your excellent comment about smaller gyms. I'm just looking for a very basic gym with weight machines and a few free weights (and a running or skiing machine or 2 to warm up). My apartment is on Calle Valencia/Av de Europa - do you know of any cheapo gyms within a few minutes walk of there? I was down in Hotel Fuerte and it's not bad, but I wonder if I can do better price wise.
many thanks!

Where exactly on Ricardo Soriano are you located (it's a long street)? Do you want to be within walking distance? You may want to try one of the bigger hotels. The Hotel Fuerte if you're on one side or the Hotel Don Pepe if you're on the other.
The other option is to join one of the bootcamps or yoga sessions on the beach. My sister-in-law went for a walk on the boardwalk the other day and saw a couple of these kinds of classes running at the same time. To get an idea of what this is, take a look at the Bootcamp Costa del Sol, which is held on San Pedro beach. You can try to contact the trainer and ask if he knows of other clubs in Marbella center. The best thing about these kinds of groups is that it's very cheap and there is no committment.

Hey thanks for the response. I live on Ricardo Soriano so very central, have checked out a few of the bigger gyms but they are all much too expensive. We went to the plaza gym for a while near Puerto Banus but it's a bit far to travel now. A smaller, less equippeed gym would be great if it's a lower price :)

Club Fuerte Sports just on the maritim promenade is a good option too.
It's on the basement of Hotel El Fuerte.

Marbella gyms by: Marbella Family
There are several gyms in Marbella city center. The largest one that is most central is O2 Wellness (www.o2centrowellness.com) in Plaza del Mar:
You can also try Atenas (www.gimnasioatenas.com) on Calle Pintor Pacheco.
If you are interested in the Puerto Banus area (not exactly center of Marbella) you can try Marbella gym QI in Vasari. Vasari has a web page (www.vasariresort.com), but QI seems to only have a Facebook page (QI Sports). In the Puerto Banus area, you also have Plaza Gym at the Centro Plaza commercial center. Again, they only have a Facebook page (Plaza Gym).
Another gym in Marbella is Dynamic Training Center (www.dynamicmarbella.com) a bit northwest of the city center where you can pay by the day (20 euro), week (40 euro), month (96 euro) or 10 day access (150 euro). I happened to pop in there today, which is why I have all this info now. :)
Other than that, you have lots of smaller boutique Marbella gyms that may be cheaper, but won't be as well equipped.
Where are you staying? I can let you know what the closest gyms are to you.
