Gimnasio Acrópolis

Acrópolis is a small neighbourhood gym on Calle Cefeo in Alicante with a close, family feel. Come here if you want a friendly local gym with coaching on hand rather than a big chain. There's a weights area, cardio machines and a timetable of group classes covering muscle conditioning, cardio and martial arts, including Hapkido. Personal training goes further than most small gyms, with body measurements, a coach in the session, a diet plan and progress check-ins. Older reviews also mention Pilates and physio. Reviewers talk about the close, family feel, trainers who adapt workouts to you, and classes that are fun rather than a slog. The gripes are practical: there's no air conditioning, so summer sessions get warm, and there's no drinking water on site, so bring your own bottle. It's open weekdays from morning to night and Saturday mornings, closed Sundays. Despite what some directories say, the gym itself says there's no pool.
