Hi i am coming out next week,and was wondering if there is a gym anywhere i can use,like in a hotel-pay as u go etc,i would be grateful for information as i need to know whether i pack my trainers or not

there used to be a gym in the buildings opposite the fatacil i think it is still there

there is a gym at Rocha Brava but i don't know what they charge

The Fatacil one was there last time I looked. They have a gym at the Tennis Club.

Thanks for that,every year i take my trainers,but after a few days they end up just sitting there,its to hot plus i get up later and later(good for and good wine),but this year when i get home i am doing a PT course and i should really be a bit fit for it lol

The gym opposite the Fatasil in Lagoa has air con (not that brilliant but at least cooler than outside!) the gym at the tennis club has no air con and is like a sauna in the summer.

My husband and teenage boys have sampled most of the gyms in the area, and the best currently is the one opposite the fatacil
The do a weekly rate, I think its 15 euros and you can go as often as you like.much cheaper than the one at the tennis club.

Thanks for the replies

if you are there for a few weeks Tennis club is perfect for a decent work out if you like an old school gym - plenty women also train there ...secret is join for a month at reception its 37 Euro for the month visit as many times as you like...closed Sundays

Thanks for that Jamie.i think i will do that,with that can i got to the classes as well.Now the hard part is putting my trainers and gym stuff in the suitcase without husband seeing .

Is there one in the Tivoli ? If there isn't, he could always come and dig my garden.

I don't think the monthly fee at the tennis club gym includes classes, there is a card that covers both though. The aerobics class is very popular (Tuesdays and Friday at 9.30am).

That's you - you were looking in the mirror

There is also a gym at Vale d'Olivieras (the resort near Gramacho golf course). They do weekly and monthly memberships and ou can also pay by the day. Great swimming pool and spa with treatments too
