Forus Sardenya in Gràcia (Barcelona)

Forus Sardenya, in Gràcia, is a family sports centre with a gym, a pool, a Turkish bath, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a sports hall. Satisfied members describe it as spacious, with enough machines to avoid waiting, newly replaced cardio equipment, good guided classes, affordable family fees and staff who are kind at reception. Many reviews, however, point to declining maintenance: only one of the two saunas works, the Turkish bath smells bad, the jacuzzi is often out of order, the pool has damaged floor tiles and changing rooms need deep cleaning. Air conditioning in the cardio and weights room has failed at times, some machines have fixed weights, a few instructors are described as dismissive, and some Catalan-speaking members regret that communications are now only in Spanish. A convenient, complete centre for families, but upkeep of the wellness area and changing rooms needs to improve.
