CEM Maresme in Sant Martí (Barcelona)

CEM Maresme, in Sant Martí, is a municipal sports centre with a pool, a sauna, padel courts and a wide range of activities for different ages. Many members praise the instructors, who greet them by name, follow them closely in guided classes and help with technique in the free-weight area, and the pool is described as clean. The facilities, however, show their age. Members report that a toilet in the men's changing room has been broken and closed for years, poor hygiene in the toilets, smelly changing rooms and showers that work badly, a men's sauna that often fails with a door that does not close, a stuffy gym and a padel court where balls fall into a neighbouring school. Several reviewers also describe rude or uninterested receptionists, a theft of belongings and incorrect holiday opening hours online. A complete centre with committed instructors, but it needs renovation and better customer service.
