It’s time! No more excuses. Summer is just around the corner and you want to be in shape! The same goes if you want to release stress or just take part in yoga or pilates classes. These gyms in Lisbon have it all and more!
It’s that time of year when you start to think about summer and the efforts you’ll have to make to “burn off” the stubborn calories that accumulated over Christmas or while you “hibernated” on your sofa doing nothing.
I confess that I’m not a great fan of training indoors. I like doing sports or exercising outdoors more, but after writing this text, it’s quite possible that you’ll give these gyms in Lisbon another try.
These usually enclosed spaces are places where we can make the most of our physique, improving our well-being and health by leaps and bounds.
That’s why this article comes in handy, because in the next few lines we’re going to give you a list of some of the best gyms in Lisbon.

The Code
One of the reasons I don’t go to gyms is that they can be very crowded .
But this is a situation you won’t find at The Code, which is characterized by being a boutique gym, whose emphasis is on giving more attention and exclusivity to its member-clients.
Perhaps that’s why it has a smaller number of training options: Combust, Intense, Pure Ride, Ride Up, Collide, Improve Collide, Suspende and High Performance.
Address: Rua Eng.º Vieira da Silva (Mercado 31 de Janeiro – 2nd floor, in Saldanha); Azinhaga Galhardas (Estádio Universitário de Lisboa)

Life Club Academy
In Lisbon since 2006, the Life Club Academy is a fitness benchmark in the city, with locations in Santos, Estádio da Luz and Colinas do Cruzeiro.
One of the reasons many people flock to this gym in Lisbon is its privileged view of the Tagus River at the Santos location and the view of the pitch at the Benfica stadium.
There are a huge number of classes on offer, from TRX circuits to high-intensity Hiit workouts, cycling classes, bodycombat, bodypump and power training.
Address: Rua da Cintura do Porto a Santos, Armazém J (Santos); Avenida Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, Porta 25A (Estádio da Luz); Rua Pulido Valente 39B (Odivelas)
