Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely horrible service and attitude from the moment you step in the door. We left again after 5 minutes. Literally any other gym in Playa is better than this place.

Access to this gym was included as part of my hotel stay (El Taj) and was way better than any hotel gym I have ever been to. It is a world-class gym and worth the 5 minute walk from the hotel.

The gym is a great place to work out. It offers plenty of different equipment for various fitness styles. They have free weights, machines, a squat rack and it’s spacious enough for HIIT workouts. They also have classes such as MMA and yoga; I did not try the classes, however it is an option for those folks who enjoy them. It was very clean. They gave us a towels and offered us a locker for our belongings. There were paper towel dispensers as well as cleaning solution throughout the facility. They also have a juice bar for shakes and coffee. Lastly, the prices were very reasonable and their memberships were super convenient for visitors. Highly recommend!

My fiancé and I love to work out while on vacation. We usually stay at resorts and frequent the resort gyms. This trip we rented an AirBNB so we had to find our own gym. We bought a 10 visit pass at The Gym and enjoyed our time there. They have a wide range of equipment. The staff was friendly. It was very busy at times with locals and entertainment staff from the local resorts. They had a great smoothie bar we enjoyed everyday after our workout. I purchased a souvenir "The Gym, Playa Del Carmen" t-shirt and I love it !! Fits great and I chose a beautiful purple color.

If you need a place to workout on the premises, go to The Gym. The equipment is new, clean and a variety of classes to take. My husband and I went everyday and it was never busy. BIG and comfortable surroundings.

I am talking of a day pass experience: the price was totally not worth the experience. The studio has seen better days I think- renovation seems to date some days back. It’s a totally normal gym, with men locker room, could be much better kept. And to make the average experience incline to a negative one: staff was not nice and helpful.

Free membership with towel. came with our 7 day stay at Maya Villa and we decided to try this place out. Its a nice, clean gym with AC and everything you would come to find in any modern gym in the states for the most part. They also have an area where you can get healthy shakes, etc. I worked up a great sweat and got a great workout!

I just joined The Gym for 3 months (got a 4th month for free). I spent some time comparing it to other gyms in the area and this one proved to be the best. It is only a little bit more expensive. It has all of the equipment I need and much more. Some people have complained about the staff, especially reception, but I have found them to be very friendly and accommodating. If I had any questions they were more than happy to provide an answer with a smile. Gabby is especially pleasant and was very helpful to me. The only issue I have is that it is a bit small but they seem to have utilised the space they do have in an efficient manner. I highly recommend The Gym.

Do you provide a small face towel with the daily fee? Are there sanitizer wipes to wipe down the equipment before and after use?
