Medellin Personal Trainer and Gym

Recommended Posts

Gyms:

For those of you who are visiting regularly or long term I recommend getting a gym membership at BodyTech. It’s about $50 a USD, minimum two months, but day passes are super expensive. 

ultra gym at the charlee is awesome too. About $60 USD a month no minimum.  There’s only one location, right in center of Parque Lleras and while it’s a better gym, I chose bodytech for convenience. English speaking trainers here, about $15-20 a session.

There’s also a CrossFit, CrossFit deluxe in poblado that is amazing.  Great trainers, great people.

skip smartfit, they are all tiny and it’s super crowded.

if In laureles and u don’t wanna do BodyTech, there is an old school body builder  gym that is largely outside,  but I love it. It’s called Magnum.

Trainers:

I have a great trainer. He’s independent, but if you pay for his gym membership (or use one of the free outdoor gyms) he will train you for roughly $8-12 a session and Uber ($3-4 US each way).  DM and I’ll get you his info.  He’s gay but not an escort. And I don’t think he’d like being propositioned. But who knows?

Are the locals paying 50/60 dollars per month? I was paying less in my gym in DC, although I dropped my membership during the pandemic lock downs.

Yes, gyms are one of the things that are expensive for locals, it’s why you see so many locals working out at the free outdoor gyms.  Bodytech is equivalent of an equinox in US that comes with a $200/mo price tag in most US cities…

there are lots of whole in the wall gyms I see in every neighborhood. Those are prob much less expensive.

Glad to see that you found a trainer you are happy with, congrats! 

I guess no one has really talked about the free outdoor workout equipment found in parks across Medellin, but they are present all around the city, there being two large equipment set ups in Parque lineal and in Parque bailarina around El Poblado. Great option for a free workout when in town. just look for the distinctive yellow workout machines in green spaces.
