Gyms in Riga

I don't recall the name, but it is at the top of the Galleria Center in Old Town.  It is a very nice gym - my wife teaches yoga and does personal training there.

There is a posh gym on Terbatas iela, beside the market and the large TV screen / nightclub / casino. Lots of expensive cars in the car park and expensive looking girls not exercising on the machines.

My personal favourite was Atletika, the one just across from the Hari Krishna vegetarian restaurant on Krišjāņa Barona iela. Cheap (29LATS per month), with a good selection of cardio,machines and free weights. Various classes too, including kick boxing, spin, and circuits. http://demo.atletika.lv/klubi/centrs/    Website is only in Latvian and Russian. If you want cheaper, you have the community centers that also have gyms.

There is also the gym at the top of Hotel Latvia (now Radisson Blue) where you can run on a treadmill and look over the whole city. I recall you used to get guest membership for 5LATS (7 euros) a session, although its probably different now under Radisson.

Hi Scott

Thanks for the reply. I see you are from Scotland originally. Did you ever find a pub where you could watch Scottish and English football?

Cheers

Hi Tommy,
There are lots of pubs in the center, around the old town, which show football. For example, you have Albert's Pub, just off Dome Square.

Found out a few days ago, Albert's Pub has closed down (due to a food poisoning outbreak!).

Hi there,

I've got membership at Espa gym and I'm happy. It's a bit pricey and smallish but they have all the equipment I need and I never have to wait. It's all brand new and hi tech. Also, you get access to the pool, sauna and free towels I can bring 2 guests with me in August so let me know if you are interested to check it out

Before I used to go to City Fitness in Spice shopping centre and Berga Bazars, it's not bad. I hear ppl say Reaktors is allrite

Hope it helps
