Athletic gym Manila

Experiencia positiva: This is a great gym, only downside so far is that so many people who workout there do not put up their weights back on the rack (which is a bit annoying). Just be careful. Good price all around.

Experiencia negativa: Foreigner beware. The price here is way too high, especially considering the gym is basically Colombia’s version of Planet Fitness, right down to the same machines. The advertised price online was nearly half of what I was charged. When I asked about the difference, I was told that Colombians get a lower rate and foreigners are charged more — something never mentioned on the website. From a U.S. perspective, that feels misleading and unfair. For comparison, Planet Fitness in the U.S. costs around $10–20 per month, so paying double the advertised price here doesn’t make sense even with the conversion rate taken into account. Buyer beware. I would have gone to SmartFit instead, but for whatever reason, they don’t accept Wells Fargo debit cards. If you can pay there, SmartFit might be the better, more transparent option.

Experiencia positiva: This gym is fully equipped with everything you need to get a good workout in. It can be very busy and for that reason seem a bit chaotic with weights everywhere but the second level is not as crazy. Tons of cardio equipment. The only downside is the price… 165,000 for one week or 80,000 for a three day pass (can be on non-consecutive days) but this seems to be the going rate in Poblado.

Experiencia positiva: El gimnasio en si está bien pero las máquinas son muy antiguas y no tienen pase de un día. Además no fuimos bienvenidas o eso se sentía.

Experiencia negativa: Unos ladrones. Me dicen que hay que escribirlos dos semanas antes de irse para terminar la subscripcion, lo que hice. Nunca me contestaron, les voy a decir en persona, les mando 3 correos más: no me contestan. Y adivinan que: me acabaron de cobrar en mi cuenta. Yo ya no estoy en el país y no me contestan. Que hago ???

Experiencia fantástica: Got three day passes for myself and three others for a reasonable price (in the neighborhood of $16 usd). The gym itself is reasonably well appointed and has good hours. Locker rooms are clean and available, and there is a smoothie bar/place to get protein shakes as well.

Experiencia negativa: The gentleman at the front desk can’t do his job after I paid him the monthly fee and weeks after my entry to the gym fails. I have to spend time every time I leave to see why I can’t leave the gym. That’s the first. Secondly I hired a trainer at this gym paid him 1,000,000 pesos over the asking price of all the gyms I’ve been in Medellin. The first few sessions were fine. Until I gave him full payment - sessions would start 30-40 minutes over our agreed time. I would have to find the trainer. He would tell me what to do then go talk to his friends. Talk to ever girl and give them hugs. I’m like hello you have been hired to train me. And I even noticed him doing his own workout during my sessions. I would be careful who you hire. Or pay them per class and not make my same mistake. And due to his lack of professionalism I hurt myself he runs comes back with some massager says here don’t worry you can massage the place that has pain. This must be a joke. I will never ever return.

Experiencia fantástica: Exelente lugar

Experiencia negativa: Nice gym for the price but I’m giving 2 stars because the lady at the desk tried to scam us. She tried adding an extra 60,000 pesos and when we noticed she gave some kind of excuse and changed it to the real price.

Experiencia fantástica: I trained here for a week on vacation. Incredible gym. Huge with everything you need. Dumbbells go up to 80 or 90lbs. I didn't go during peak hours, during non peak it was excellent. Great and helpful staff. Plenty of equipment and great atmosphere to train.

Experiencia negativa: El personal es lo peor en este gimnasio, muy poco serviciales y si necesitas algo hacen lo menos posible por ayudarte

Experiencia negativa: Muy bien gimnasio, Pero el personal es muy poco servicial y amable

Experiencia negativa: Pésima experiencia

Experiencia negativa: One of the worst gyms I’ve been to. Poor quality equipment and the gym floor was always messy and unsafe. Loads of unusual machines but lacking the basics (nowhere near enough benches, collars or squat racks). Lots of the equipment is wobbly and poorly maintained. Rude staff who were unhelpful. Full of people more interested in flexing in the mirror than actually training. Shocking standard of gym etiquette in general. Even though it’s not great, you’re better off going to smartfit around the corner. Seriously, don’t bother

Experiencia negativa: Muy mala administración, constantemente no hay agua, luz, equipos dañados, papel higiénico, papel para limpiar las maquinas, no hay ni un bebedero de agua y el señor que es aparentemente el administrador es muy grosero y no tiene nada de tacto para tratar a los usuarios

Experiencia negativa: Muy Mal servicio Los entrenenadores mantienen pegados del celular en recepcion y la Chica de cabello claro muy prepotente.

Experiencia negativa: Las máquinas son muy viejas. Igual el lugar

Experiencia negativa: Mal servicio

Experiencia negativa: Gym is okay but old machines and the entry gates don’t work (and haven’t worked for two years) so every time you go they have to manually enter you which takes ages. Just lazy on their part to not repair these things. Last time signing up to this place

Experiencia negativa: Horrible gym. 1) the gym keeps charging my card even after I’ve emailed them twice to cancel and still can’t get a response. 2) the gym itself is occupied by uncivilized savages. You’ll find weights thrown everywhere. Half the time I can barely walk there without risk of breaking my ankle walking on a weight someone left on the floor. People have no respect for a machine you’re using and will steal it from you at a moments notice. (I mean this one is more a part of their culture so I’m not really surprised) 3) no ac in an 80 degree gym makes it feel like you’re working out in a sauna

Experiencia positiva: El gimnasio es muy práctico y cuenta con unos precios bastante accesibles, además cuenta con una gran variedad de máquinas para el trabajo de los diferentes grupos musculares, el lugar tiene horas pico donde es difícil entrenar por la caridad de gente

Experiencia negativa: el gimnasio se no tiene parqueadero , siempre debes dejar el carro en la calle , el servicio al cliente es pesimo , solo ponen regaeton y a un volumen super alto , muy mal servicio la verdad no lo recomiendo.

Experiencia negativa: Asked for a month membership, they told me 130.000, even though the sign on their window says 65.000 for a month. They said I have to pay more because I'm a foreigner. I did not sign up, went to smart fit (65.000) a month.

Experiencia negativa: Quería ir al Gym ya que hoy salgo de Medellín. Pero al ir an Athletic, no se puede entrenar por un solo día te toca pagar lo de un mes. La verdad, mala experiencia para quienes van de paso y solo quieren seguir con su rutina de entrenamiento.

Experiencia negativa: He ido por 4 años al gym. Pero hace un año hacia aca desmejoro bastante, mancuernas tiradas por todo lado, no se ve al entrenador de planta por ningun lado, en cualquier emergencia no hay quien te ayude, el servicio al cliente es pésimo sobretodo el chicho de recepción Jaime Vásquez super mala atención. Lastima que lo dejaron dañar tanto

Experiencia negativa: Scammed? I wanted access for 1 week and the guy at the desk said that there was a daily rate, and then suddenly changed his mind that there wasn't a daily rate anymore so I would have to buy the monthly plan. Of course there were no prices listed anywhere at the desk, so he gave me an arbitrary price. And then conveniently the credit card system went down so I had to pay him cash. Still thought; this was cheaper than some of the other gyms in the area that were (probably) trying to scam me too. There is some nice equipment, but it's open-air so it gets warm. The free weights are scattered everywhere, so it takes time to find matching weights. And it's busy at all times of day. I dealt with this for 1 week, but I would not go back.

Experiencia negativa: He estado tratando de cancelar mi contrato con este gimnasio desde mayo y ha sido una pesadilla. En WhatsApp, dejan de responder tan pronto menciono la cancelación. He enviado múltiples correos electrónicos y no he recibido respuesta en más de dos meses. Siguen cobrando las mensualidades y finalmente me dicen que puedo terminar el contrato en julio, justo el día del corte para cobrarme otro mes más. El servicio es pésimo y la atención al cliente inexistente. ¡Muy decepcionante!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a good gym for tourists. Sign-up online and bring your passport to the gym to activate your membership. Make sure you can answer basic questions in Spanish, or be ready to use Google Translate. Cancel online with 30 days notice or you'll be charged for another month. I managed to register without relying on my phone and my spoken Spanish was at an A2 level. In terms of using the gym, arrive EARLY. They open at 05:00 on weekdays and you'll usually find 50+ people there by 05:30. It'll be packed by 06:00. It's much less busy on weekends and bank holidays. They open at 06:00 on Saturdays and 07:00 on Sundays and national holidays. There's lots of good equipment and weights here, but again, it does get busy.

Experiencia fantástica: Athletic Gym has all the gear you could want, from cardio machines to weights, and it’s all clean and ready to use. Some folks need to be better about cleaning up after themselves, but overall, it’s a great spot if you’re serious about getting in shape and it's very reasonably priced!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is huge. It’s great value per month. Seems well equipped. Generally good vibes. I like it.

Experiencia fantástica: Signing up at Athletic Gym was an absolute breeze. For just $16.50, I gained access to a month of top-notch facilities, making it an incredible deal. While the gym only offers a single-month membership, its affordability makes it an unbeatable choice for anyone looking to commit to their fitness goals without breaking the bank. The process of signing up was straightforward and hassle-free, reflecting the gym's commitment to customer satisfaction. From filling out the necessary forms to receiving my membership number, everything was handled efficiently by the friendly staff. Upon stepping into the gym, I was immediately impressed by the quality of the equipment and the inviting atmosphere. The well-maintained machines and ample space for workouts ensured that I could engage in my exercise routine without any interruptions. Moreover, Athletic Gym boasts an environment that motivates and inspires. With some of the most stunning women I've ever encountered, the sight of dedicated individuals working towards their fitness goals creates an uplifting ambiance that encourages me to push myself further. Athletic Gym not only provides exceptional value for money but also delivers on its promise of a rewarding fitness experience. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this gym offers everything you need to succeed. Signing up was just the beginning of what promises to be a fulfilling fitness adventure.

Experiencia positiva: Ordenado, limpio y agradable

Experiencia fantástica: Very solid gym to use when visiting Poblado. No day pass available but we bought a month pass for approx $23 for two of us, which was great value given we used it every day of our to the city.

Experiencia positiva: Decent gym with cardio and resistance training options. The main issue here is the lack of proper staff training. They are super friendly but: 1) when I came in and asked for a free day pass I was told I could come in but not workout. I insisted and after checking with a manager, I was told yes, I can come in and workout for free for first day. 2) weights and equipment are not placed back to their original place. I saw 4-5 staff just hanging out when I came in and as I left. It wouldn’t take long or much effort for them to go around and “sweep” the floor even once a day and replace the equipment so that it can be easily found by members. Cost is fair for comparable gyms. Pics attached taken over the course of several days at various times.

Experiencia fantástica: Muy bueno

Experiencia negativa: Hola, Espero que esto llegue a la persona adecuada. He sido miembro de Athletica Manila durante 2 años. Ahora tienes un nuevo gerente. hoy cuando fui a entrar al gimnasio. Ninguna de las máquinas escáner funcionó como lo hacen todos los días. nunca funcionan. Simplemente le sugerí al gerente que los eliminara. y se molestó y gritó y dijo que no los quitamos porque quieres y siguió insultándome. Por supuesto, yo también respondí muy enojado porque es su gimnasio el que recibe quejas de los propietarios. Y llamó a la policía y me prohibió la entrada al gimnasio. He sido el propietario y he administrado varios lugares diferentes y nunca he visto a un gerente insultar a alguien como lo hizo conmigo diciéndole que algo está roto en el gimnasio. Él ha trabajado aquí 1 mes. He estado viniendo aquí durante 2 años sin problemas.

Experiencia fantástica: Great bodybuilding gym. Great atmosphere, lots of equipment and tons of cardio machines.

Experiencia fantástica: I was in Medellín studying Spanish and this gym was perfect as they offer a one month membership with a one off payment for foreigners (so no need to cancel or worry about a recurring fee). It was 130,000 COP. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. The gym is big, always being cleaned, and has beautiful views of the mountains, and you can find hours where it's not so busy. The only negatives I would say were the weights not being put back and there's no free drinking water. The best part is that the membership is valid for all Athletic gyms - there's another one nearish in Itagüi, and ten more in Bogotá. I went to Bogotá afterwards and all I needed to do was register my fingerprint at the new site and I could keep using my membership. They also offer a one day free trial.

Experiencia fantástica: Sitio de entrenamiento dirigidos por instructores del gym también hay particulares, con un amplio horario y todos los días

Experiencia positiva: 60 000 for 4 day minimum. They don't do any less

Experiencia positiva: Gimnasio que tiene muy buen espacio y muy buena maquinaria, como es tan económico y accesible para cualquier persona, la mayor parte del tiempo hay mucha gente así que toca estar esperando que desocupen maquinas para hacer ejercicios, los de cardio la mayoría de veces si hay para hacer.en general muy aseado. Solo hay algo que decir solo voy al de itagui para que lo tengan presente, los asesores no son cordiales, solo está ahí cuando te vinculan, de ahí para adelante ni un buen saludo, ni saben cómo vas en tu proces no te preguntan cómo vas, como te sientes en las instalaciones, no se despiden, para poner el.sello para el parqueadero son todos despotas les falta servicio al cliente. Debería ser un requisito para contratar, no son todos!! Pero en general estos asesores son así.

Experiencia positiva: Very big, almost outdoor gym! Cool workout atmosphere. Reception could be more helpful and someone should clean... joining a pic of a wet cloth after wiping weight or mats... no one changes his shoes, let alone clothes...

Experiencia negativa: It looks like it might be a decent big block gym. Unfortunately they rejected my medical needs service dog. Other gyms haven’t had any issue with him staying close to me so that he can smell if my blood glucose level goes low. Which is more important at a gym than most other places. He is exceptionally well trained and would never get in the way or cause any problem. That is all besides the point, because he is an extension of myself by law. I’m sure they wouldn’t reject somebody in a wheelchair for their physical disability. Some of the best things about Colombia are all the things you can do here. Some of the worst things about Colombia are all the things you can’t do here. I will make the walk back to Crew Wellness gym everyday, it’s a much better gym and they are happy to have my partner there as well.

Experiencia positiva: A bit basic. A lot of machines are missing. Staff doesn’t help much but sometimes that is good. No group classes. The best price possible !

Experiencia positiva: Mucha maquinaria para entrenar, muy buena su localización. Excelente atención de su personal, en especial Jimmy que fue muy cordial. La tarifa para turistas es excesiva, te cuesta lo que un gym por un mes en EU. Las mancuernas están muy desorganizadas y mezcladas. Algunas no puedes ni encontrar su pareja. En el primer nivel no están todas las mancuernas. Y hay desorganización de otros accesorios. El sistema de acceso y salida al gym es obsoleto y lento, en caso de una emergencia es un peligro. Las facilidades están listas para una pintura o retoque. De los tres urinales en el baño de caballeros hay dos fuera de servicio.

Experiencia fantástica: Un lugar genial para entrenar, mejorar tu salud, por un valor de menos de 100.000 mensuales sin inscripción con máquinas modernas y puntos de toallitas húmedas para limpiar la máquina cuando la utilizas, puedes la mayor parte del tiempo dejar tu vehículo en frente y en las noches despues de las 7pm no hay tanto publicó los baños son limpios y amplios; espero les sirva a todos.

Experiencia negativa: No tienen opciones de pago para las personas que viajamos frecuentemente. Te obligan a pagar membresia mensual asi solo vayas a ir 2 dias.

Experiencia fantástica: Very big and good gym. Went here for 2 weeks during my spanish lessons. You can get a monthly subscription here.

Experiencia fantástica: Good gym. Gets REALLY busy in prime times, but I worked around that by going there between 10am-3pm. Staff is friendly.

Experiencia negativa: Clairement pas la meilleure expérience... J’ai voulu souscrire un abonnement pour une semaine étant sur place peu de temps. Tout d’abord les personnes à l’accueil m’ont fait payer 2 mois, les erreurs arrivent et à priori (de ce qu’elles m’ont dit) pour une semaine c’était seulement 10 000 cops de moins. Déjà elles ne me proposent pas de me les rembourser. Soit… Ensuite j’étais censée recevoir un mail pour signer le contrat mais je ne l’ai jamais reçu après l’avoir demandé 3 fois et après m’avoir dit 3 fois que j’allais le recevoir. J’avais besoin également de la Facture que je n’ai jamais eu… Bref. La salle est ok mais le personnel vraiment pas professionnel …

Experiencia negativa: This is NOT a gym for tourists who are staying less than one month. The lowest rate is $35 per month, which you have to pay even if you are only in Medellin for a few days or a week. This is a stupid pricing policy considering El Poblado is all about tourism. It's better to just go to one of the other gyms in the area with a daily or weekly rate. Imagine being charged $35 for one day?!? Secondly, I trained here the last time I was in Medellin (when this pricing was not in place), and there were young people openly exchanging sealed/bagged (testosterone?) needles like it was legal. What's sad is they were in their 20s, using PEDs, and didn't look like anything special at all. Management seems to turn a blind eye to this.

Experiencia fantástica: Commonly busy but has a wide variety of machines and equipment to fit anyone's needs. Large open space though sometimes it is difficult to get to the equipment you want without waiting for a turn during the more busy hours of the day.

Experiencia negativa: The front gate/check-in works 10% of the time so you constantly need assistance from the staff. Only one squat rack which is always in-use. Can't do barbell deadlifts despite extra barbells and weights. The free weights are never organized despite the staff sitting around most of the time instead of re-organizing. The price is good for a month, something like $20 USD. The views from the gym are also fantastic.

Experiencia fantástica: Though there are some busy times (post work, Saturday morning), I can always find equipment to use. I love the open air vibe. Staff is friendly and helpful. And, I believe, $25 USD/month is the highest level of package

Experiencia positiva: Stopped in to try the free day pass and got a good pump in. They only have 1 squat rack which is what I do 50% of my workouts on but they have a plethora of other equipment. I was quoted about 99,000k a month and don’t offer day or week passes. Good basic gym.

Experiencia fantástica: We are only in town for a few days and wanted to get a few workouts in. This gym is insane! Its huge, tons of machines, room for everyone, and a very nice front desk helper. Jamie answered all of our questions, gave us a quote for our days, and even let us try the gym out for free. Great vibes and beautiful people. My body thanks me for this experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Yes, it’s true, you can’t pay for a day pass, and will end up paying a minimum of a full month, but if you’re staying 3 or more days in Poblado you’ll get a whole lot of bang for the buck. They have a wide variety of equipment, beautiful people, outdoors section, great cardio area including a cinema-style cardio room, and and awesome manager called Julieth. Would definitely come back!!!

Experiencia fantástica: ✌️

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente

Experiencia fantástica: Un poder de gimnasio

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente

Experiencia fantástica: Buen espacio para el entrenamiento

Experiencia fantástica: Lo mejor de Medellín

Experiencia fantástica: Muy completo

Experiencia positiva: En la mañana es mejor hacer ejercicio en la tarde mucha gente

Experiencia fantástica: Me gusto mucho lugar, encontre maáquinas libres, buenas vistas.

Experiencia positiva: pueden mejorar el servicio al cliente, no todos somos expertosy necesitamos guia en los ejercicios

Experiencia fantástica: Espectacular centro de entrenamiento. Zona de cardio CINEMA, zonas de musculación, funcional, terraza al aire libre. Todo lo que necesito para un grandioso entrenamiento

Experiencia positiva: No tiene parqueadero y en el sector es muy complejo el parqueo, una verdadera lastima

Experiencia positiva: Muy aseado, buenos coach, buen precio y cuenta con sede en Poblado e Itagui.

Experiencia fantástica: Es el gym donde entrenó, muy recomendado, ambiente tranquilo, excelente maquinaria

Experiencia fantástica: El gimnasio más top que está en el barrio Manila en el poblado. Un concepto irreverente , horarios muy flexibles y con la tarifa desde 59.000= al mes

Experiencia fantástica: Los empleados y entrenadores son muy amables, el gym es amplio, tiene muchos equipos y en buen estado.

Experiencia fantástica: Lo mejor que hay por el mismo precio. No es tan apretado como Smartfit en donde las máquinas, aunque algunas mejores, están muy pegadas las unas a las otras.

Experiencia positiva: Venden con la promesa de que la mensualidad es sólo a 59900 "más barato que un gimnasio de barrio" pero cuando se hace el registro, necesitas pagar dos mensualidades inmediatamente. Sólo se tiene acceso a entrenadores si se paga la vip. Con los otros planes no es posible, es decir que si llegas como principiante, vas a estar perdido respecto a qué rutinas hacer. Los entrenadores no valen el dinero del plan VIP. Sólo asignan un ejercicio y se van o se quedan mirando sin retroalimentar o motivar a dar más de ti mismo. Son ausentes y carentes de motivación. La atención de recepción tampoco es muy buena. Faltan muchas máquinas de sentadillas y pantorrilla.

Experiencia fantástica: Ha mejorado mucho la calidad humana y personal de l@s asistent@s al gym, al punto que ya tengo 5 amores platónicos, nunca me había pasado ello. Lo maluco es que ya siento que no me queda espacio para más en mi corazón virtual, y ayer, así no más, llegó otra sexta, una chica que me tiene encantado y entrenando al 200%, me motiva mucho el solo verla. Pero para no parecer desleal conmigo y las otras platónicas de gym, así ellas aún no lo sepan, les seguiré siendo fiel a todas.

Experiencia positiva: El lugar es amplio, todas las máquinas se encuentran en buen estado, la atención del personal es buenas, son amables y atentos. Debe mejorar el sistema de acceso, ya que los torniquetes en muchas ocasiones falla por la lectura de la huella.

Experiencia positiva: Muy completo..los entrenadores de planta no ayudan en nada es lo único que no me gusta. No se acercan a preguntar si necesitan algo. Aunque se mucho de entrenamiento pero ellos deberían ser más amable con el cliente.

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente gimnasio y nos divertimos mucho en el evento de Influencers

Experiencia fantástica: Estoy entrenando y realmente estoy impresionado de la calidad de este gym. Máquinas, ambiente te hacen vivir una magnífica experiencia. Agradezco quien me atendió a la entrada que no obstante no exista pase de un día, me dio la oportunidad de entrenar.

Experiencia fantástica: this gym has 2 levels, is spacious, has an incredible view of Medellin, and great staff; highly recommend. my suggestion to the business is to add a daily pass option like smartfit has.

Experiencia positiva: It was good but they don’t have any daily passes. Like every other gym in El Poblado, they ask you to join pay for the entire month. Use the outdoor gym, it’s free.

Experiencia fantástica: Huge huge gym that has everything you need to train every muscle group. Ask for a free day pass and they will happily give you one. Very friendly staff.

Experiencia positiva: Easily one of my favorite gyms. And great views

Experiencia fantástica: Massive gym and the equipment is in mint condition. Paid 59.000 for a week pass.

Experiencia positiva: Big gym, but it gets really busy in the afternoon. All the equipment is in excellent state. A lot of machines, but there could definitely be a bigger free-weight area (for instance there is only one squat rack). Would recommend to go to during the non-busy hours and for just the one free day pass, as after this they will charge you 20.000 (!) for a day pass.

Experiencia positiva: This is a great gym and very convenient to use with day rates and month rates. Tons of equipment for weight lifting and cardio. They even have massage chairs. One downside is there are no group cardio classes if you like that. Also it seemed a bit dirty, like the free weights and floor would always leave black dirt marks on my body which has never happened elsewhere. Overall though it's a great place.

Experiencia fantástica: Huge warehouse type gym with tons of equipment. I tried the one-day free pass. They have one of the most reasonable drop-in system and this would be a great option for longer-term stay. If you are just looking to do calisthenics or other lighter workouts, The Los Patios hostel nearby has a small gym included with the stay which could save you money on a full gym pass.
