After spending way too much money at a cramped and under-equipped gym up the street, I'm happy to…read morehave found the super sleek, clean and modern SmartFit. This local gym is part of a larger chain and runs with all the efficiency and modernity you'd hope to find in a gym. There are no classes offered, but if you're looking for ample weights and cardio equipment, you'll be happy here. There's never been a wait for a treadmill and LifeFitness equipment is the best. If you like to listen to music while you work out, there's no wifi available, so make sure you take your favorite Spotify playlist offline. There are plenty of TVs overhead for those running or "ellipticaling." There are tons of weigh machines and you'll typically find more than one of the same thing. It's good too because all the Pinheiros locals seem to frequent this location. For the price, which is incredibly reasonable, this place fulfills me in my basic exercise needs. The best part? They're open every single day of the week!

A grade de horários oferece aulas frequentes e variadas. A piscina é deslumbrante. O custo mensal -- que chega até R$1200 e cai com planos, descontos etc. -- é muito... para mim, pelo menos. This gym is extraordinary -- perhaps the best I've seen anywhere. It has everything for any sporty person, from the serious athlete training for competition to someone casually trying to keep the pounds off. There is plenty of space and more than enough weight machines, cardio machines, and free weights. The schedule offers frequent and varied classes. The pool is stunning. The monthly cost -- which tops out at R$1200 and drops with membership, discounts, etc. -- is probably worth it, if you can afford it... but still enough to make me sit out for a couple months. But that's not the gym's fault.
