VivaGym Universitat in Eixample (Barcelona)

VivaGym Universitat benefits from a very central location, but its recent reviews are among the worst in the chain. The dominant complaint is the air conditioning, which members say has not worked since June 2026, with indoor temperatures above 30 degrees, humid air and evaporative coolers that make little difference. Many describe bad smells, cockroaches in the changing rooms, only a few working toilets and showers, and water fountains out of order. Other issues include old, basic Matrix equipment, queues in the free-weights area while the spinning zone sits almost empty, classes cancelled or replaced by virtual sessions without notice, and lockers or water suddenly unavailable. The bright spots are a few friendly receptionists and popular zumba and Sunday Body Pump classes. Until the climate and hygiene problems are solved, members strongly advise looking elsewhere.
