Whenever I stay in Playa and not in an all inclusive (which I quite prefer...all inclusives are not…read moremy thing, especially in this town with so many great places to go to), then I'll go to this gym. I have been going there for two years now during my stays and have always been treated absolutely great. They have a great team of staff. The gym itself has all the machines one needs to do a full workout. It is a bit tight in some places, but I've never struggled with that. In my opinion, this place rocks and I know I am not alone with that opinion, as the place is very well attended. When you go, don't forget to try one of their before or after workout drinks they make there. I can only recommend this place!! Well done, your My Gym of choice in Playa, hands down!!

The Gym is in the same area as Evolve (just 2 blocks away) it is more expensive for a month I think…read moreit was around 75$ for The Gym which I think is outrageous for Mexico, but sigh welcome to 2020- what isn't insane at this point, and around $45 for Evolve. At the Gym I know its cheaper for locals to visit so if you have a Mexican friend or contact, see if they can get the membership for you. There's no pool, jacuzzi, steam room or sauna. Lockers are included and during the covid error they give you a free towel when your first join and thats it - no towel service. There are showers and a changing area. If you're debating between here and Evolve...and you want to live....come here. I joined for a month during the CoVid era and this was the only gym I thought wouldn't kill me. The crossfit gyms, though cheap in comparison to states, were not airy enough for me and at the Evolve gyms no one followed the mask rules. The main Evolve gym on 5th just felt like one big petri dish of coronavirus - the way it is designed (just one big open space) and the fake that ppl didn't even fake wearing their mask, ugh and it was hot after walking up maybe 7 steps to get to the main area....I may not be in Olympic shape but Im not sure they have proper ventilation or strong enough AC, at The Gym I didn't sweat just from walking or around. Other than that both checked my temperature upon entering the facilities and had hand sanitizer on deck. One more perk of The Gym, is that they close every.single.day from 12 - 2 to do a deep cleaning. Not sure if Evolve does that as well but its nice to know they are trying to keep ppl virus free. The smoothie bar is currently closed. The Gym has all the machines you can think of and it wasn't that crowded when I went in the mornings. They still have fitness classes which they limit the number of participants, but I still wouldn't recommend it - they close the door to the fitness room and don't require you to wear a mask when in class...can you say corona?! Yet, if you are in the other part of the gym the open area - you have to keep the mask on over your nose and mouth even if you are on the treadmill. I've seen one person with their nose out and one wanna be cosmetically enhanced influencer with her mask as a chin strap but other than that, over 30 days ppl wanted to live and wear their mask correctly over their nose and mouth. There's a bike rack out front across the street and the area seems super safe and just to help out the males if you're looking for a local fit boo this is the place, there was always more woman than men in the gym everytime I went. See ya there!

Dropped into this box on my recent trip to Cancun and was not disappointed. Reached out to them…read morethe day before and they got back to me almost immediately with all the info I needed. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Diego who was very helpful and friendly. He gave me a brief tour of the box and was very impressed by how clean and organized it was. Equipment was in very good condition. Also met Roberto, who I believe to be the owner, and the person that messaged me the day before. Super cool guy, with a great vibe. He even offered to pick me up the next day because our hotel was on his way. Lol Drop in fee was $15 and also bought a T-shirt for another $15. Typically when I drop in to CrossFit boxes they waive the drop in fee when I buy a T-shirt, but I was fine with it. Only reason I gave 4/5 stars, but no biggie.... I imagine he gets a lot of drop ins, so I get it.

This time I decided to stay a couple of weeks in Cancun before heading out to other areas just to relax. I stayed at a nearby apartment hotel and needed somewhere where I can do swim lapses and workout. The hotel manager told me about this gym that was owned by Alex Rodriguez. I was only in the area for a week (another week at a hotel further away that had a gym) . The wonderful kind young woman at the reception ( I forgot her name, I got her to write it down but lost the paper.. she is THE BEST and NICEST SWEETEST PERSON who works there!!) served me and got me ready with a one week membership. She is the only one who spoke perfect and fluent english and from what I hear she wants to learn french too!!! I paid 900 pesos ( $65) for an unlimited membership including the use of the pool, hot tub, showers, towels, exercise machine, weights and exercise classes including aquafit, spining, Zumba. Incredible deal. Yes .. its pricey but most places I vacation at, do not allow one week memberships or daily visit fees. Energy gym does plus they also have daily visit fees of $300 pesos. The super nice front desk woman gave me a tour of the gym. Amazing. People there are also pretty serious about fitness. I feel bad to say that in the whole week that I was there I planned to use the facilities every day twice a day but only managed to go 5 out of 7 days once a day. I did an hour lapses at the pool . I wasn't perfect. The pool got really crowded at the times that I went and 2 people in a lane was really though as the lanes are very narrow and small. There are 4 lanes all together. The middles ones are for fast and medium swimmers while the side lanes are for slow and leisure swimmers. The pool water was slightly cooler which I did not like. Although there is a lifeguard on site, he is not always present and watching over the safety of swimmers. If you are swimming during an aquafit class, the music is so loud and unbearable, it makes the swimming not enjoyable. The changes room is big and spacious. Your access card is also the card that locks and unlocks you locker. Blow dryers are available and so is soap in the showers. Shower water is unfortunately not hot. It gets warm and then start getting less and less warm after 10 minutes. The sauna is AMAZING! It is amazingly relaxing. It is located in the woman's change room and right beside it is a steam room. I did not like the steam room too much as I found every time I went in there was a bad smell! I did not get to use the equipment this time but I really hope that next time I will! The gym has two flours filled with treadmills, elliptical, spinning bikes, free weights, even a stair climbing machine that I have never seen before. There is a coffee/juice bar right beside the reception, just like most modern gyms. There are many people during the day but since there are so many exercise machines, there is always space to workout. I found my gym in Cancun and I highly recommend it to anyone who are not only tourists staying in a hotel with no gym but locals who want to stay fit too! This is an awesome place.

A 4 because the young skinny guy manager is an amazing person and has can turn it into a 4 or 5…read morestar gym. Most staff are amazing especially the pretty women and hot guys. One lady (35-40s) , an older lady (40s) and an older man who runs the nutrition section which you have to do a bank transfer for a bottle of electrolytes and won't even make a smoothie after like 6pm, don't seem to care about people, or their job. The main young hot manager guy is epic. He is going places in life. As a former club manager, runway model for DNA, natural bodybuilding champion maker (Venice Beach's Muscle Mania) , and over-achiever (learning disabled diagnosed at 16 but got a 3.67GPA at NYU's prestigious DPD) So I know talent when I see it. I gave my new style training, nutrition and natty supps business plan to a buddy back in 2005, with the same loving, caring demeanor, friendly go above and beyond because you care attitude and he is now a millionaire in Scottsdale, AZ and even told my brother he owes me his life when he ran into him back at our hometown. That's just an example of how this one Manager can make that place POP and Make money hand over fist. 1. The nutrition section is a GOLD MINE. You cant have a guy who doesn't want to make protein smoothies there and only accepts bank transfers. It's a hassle and people especially serious bodybuilders, and professional Athletes do not have time for all that. It also shows gives the impression that this smoothie guy does not care about the customer. So I would rather spend money downstairs at the heath food store with the women there who care about me and smile and help me out than ruin my good mood I need for hardcore training talking to a guy being rude on purpose while I try my best to stay polite as long as I can. 2. Selling Top Tier Supplements up there will bring in at least 200k a year net. The Supplement Smoothie Section is a mess. I was trying to be nice to try and read the list of mushed up tiny hard to read lettering and help this old guy make some money but his attitude and set up was so bad it was a huge turn off. I bought an electrolyte bottle eventually which took me 15 mins because he intentionally kept trying to give me a hard time pointing to the wrong bottles on purpose. 3. The machines are awesome for a starter top tier in the making gym. - Next thing to do is add in some Artificial Grass (soccer or football style) with High Quality Sleds. - Some sports style training equipment like tied or weighted soccer balls, or ask gym goers what sport equipment they would want and you're golden. That stuff is also very inexpensive especially if you refurbish it yourself. You can make it look better than store bought with your own style. 4. The elevator is broken a lot, and there are no signs to tell you where to go. That is a huge way to lose customers especially when there is a club next door. 5. Locker rooms are awesome 6. No Professional looking personal trainers. 7. No personal training section for VIP members that bought training. 8. No certified nutritionist 9. TRX area is a mess. And no one is there cause no one knows how to use that stuff. You need a trainer there at all times. That is an invention from an ex-navy seals, you will get nothing out of it if there is no one there to teach you how to use the equipment. 10. Get some gigantic men and women trainers. Does not matter what certification they have, even the best certification is not that much better than the others. The ONLY certification that is worth its weight in GOLD is called the NSCA. NASM is garbage, I skimmed the book in a week and passed the test. It is a commercial gym money making certification agreement to make money off of naive unassuming new trainers. ACSM = garbage. It's for training maybe an 80 yr old. They are all garbage except the NSCA and a professional athlete you meet in the gym who directs you to the right training manuals and methods. For that you have to be lucky and have humility. 11. This gym has HUGE potential. Their skinny but enthusiastic manager is someone who given full responsibility could turn that gym into something special. 12. It doesn't help when there is no signage to tell you how to actually get to the gym when you are in the mall. 13. The young slim manager was the only reason I did not cancel and go to the nearby gym. Once that kid gets huge and knows equipment, invests in TVs, an actual money machine supplement juice bar (get some young fast customer service oriented kids, keep the old guy for back management to be respectful to his age and long service. And you will make hand over fist with the right fruits, proteins, creations, glutamines, aminos, vitamin drink shots, on the table ready to go and buy fast. on the fly. Card in, card out, shot of vitamin energy or protein mass concoction, get some pros to walk around. That place changes. Heck that mall changes. Pros in Mexico to come in once a month is worth the cost.

I contacted them through Facebook and they came back with $10 for the drop in. I was disappointed they were out of T-shirts, but I plan to come back anyway so not a big deal.

I wrote back and basically said, thanks but no thanks. They came back a few times over email and we agreed on $20, which is totally reasonable. But, when I arrived, it magically ended up costing me 100 pesos per day. So whatever. Milo was awesome as a coach. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone back a second day. He gave me a great WOD that kicked my ass and then worked with me on my technique for muscle-ups. He was super frienly and really excited about the sport of CF. Exactly what you want in a coach. The equipment is ok. It's nice that the gym partially outside. I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars. The equipment is a bit old and the pricing structure for non-mexicans is insulting. But, one coach made up for it. Because it is the only box in Cozumel, I'd go back again for a few more drop ins.
