Are you shopping around for the perfect Budapest gym? I know there can be a lot to consider! Pricing, location, classes, equipment…the list goes on. As someone who had to heal her relationship with exercise (I have waaaay too many memories of being the slowest one in gym class, but that’s another story for another time), my biggest concern is comfort. For me, that looked like having updated facilities and group classes that would teach me the basics. For you, it might look like having a gym within walking distance or with the most affordable membership. I’ve researched and tried different gyms in Budapest to give you a head start in your search.
A note on pricing: Monthly prices listed are valid at time of publishing, January 2025. Many gyms also have newcomer or student discounts!
