What to Expect

Mexican gyms are generally cleaner and better maintained than the stereotype suggests. Trainers are knowledgeable and speak English in upscale gyms. Equipment is modern in high-end facilities. Peak hours are 6-8 PM (everyone wants to work out after work). Many gyms offer free trial days—use them to check facilities before committing.

Fitness Culture in Mexico City

Mexico City has a strong fitness culture. You'll find dedicated athletes, CrossFit enthusiasts, yoga practitioners, and serious gym-goers. It's easy to find workout partners and fitness communities if you want them. Many expats join CrossFit boxes specifically for the community aspect, and it's a great way to meet people.

My Recommendation

If you want reliability and recognition: Gold's Gym. If you want luxury and best facilities: Sports World or Coppelia. If you want community and specialized training: Look for a boutique gym or CrossFit box in your neighborhood. If you want value: Find a mid-range neighborhood gym (they're everywhere and often excellent quality).

Start with a trial week at a few places. See where you feel most comfortable. The best gym is the one you'll actually go to, regardless of how fancy it is.
