O2 Centro Wellness Migdia[edit]

Studio 2 at O2 Centro Wellness Migdia

O2 Centro Wellness Migdia is the biggest and one of the best gyms in Girona, and we are not saying that because they’re paying us to. Opened in February 2003.[15] Facilities include gym machines, free weights, classes, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and free parking. Access to the gym is with a rubber gym bracelet.

However, it does have problems, including frequent maintenance issues (broken machines, cold showers, recurring sauna/jacuzzi closures) and high prices (around €75–85/month).[16] Also the swimming pool closes for a month in summer for renovation.

Gym classes at O2 Centro Wellness Migdia[edit]

The gym has various classes throughout the day. Classes are in either Catalan or Spanish, depending on the instructor.

You book classes through the SoyO2 app. You can book a class within 24 hours before the class starts. Spots for the most popular classes (Bodypump on Saturday mornings, for example) get filled quickly, so you might want to set a reminder on your phone for when the booking opens. If you want to cancel a booking, you can do it through the app up until one hour before the start of the class. The gym frowns upon people who book classes but don't attend. If you miss three booked classes in 90 days, they will ban you from booking classes for a week.[17]

The gym chain has a contract with the fitness company Les Mills to deliver various gym classes, like Bodypump (weight-lifting), Bodycombat (martial arts), Bodybalance (yoga/pilates), and Bodyattack (athletic), and Core.

Zone classes[edit]

The gym chain also gives it own Zone classes based on HIIT (high-intensity interval training). These are designed in a circut of five stations: treadmill, rowing, functional box, TRX (suspension training), and floor exercises.[18] There are five types of Zone class:

  • Zone Series: Full-body workout.
  • Zone Circuit: Focused on aerobic endurance with medium intervals.
  • Zone Cross: Mix of HIIT, strength, and endurance. .
  • Zone Infinity: Anaerobic training using the Tabata method. You spend four minutes at each station. Each four minutes consists of eight blocks of 20 seconds exercise + 10 seconds rest. The class finishes with a pyramid workout.
  • Zone Strong: Build muscle mass. You spend about 8 minutes at each of the five stations. Each station has three exercises. First, you do exercise 1 for one minute. Then, you do exercises 1 and 2 for one minute each. Finally, you do exercises 1, 2, and 3 for one minute each.

Instructors at O2 Centro Wellness Migdia[edit]

  • Gemma Xarau del Val teaches Zone, Bodypump, Core, Pilates, Yoga, Bodybalance
  • Raquel Reyes teaches Zone, Bodypump, Core, Aqua Wellness, Gap, and Full Workout. When she addresses the class and no one answers, she often jokingly says “Sí, Raquel,” in a mock-serious tone.

It's okay for the price, but it's really small, and it gets crowded at peak hours.[20]

Mambo[edit]

Small fitness studio in Eixample. Expensive. Popular with young women; men never seem to go there. There are no gym machines, they only run classes. They have two studio rooms. One room is full of cycling machines (for spinning classes) and the other room is a general purpose room for other classes (body tone, barre, pilates, power strength).

Even though the studio is tiny, they are extremely good at social media (their Instagram account has over 15,000 followers).
