The review that does your research for you
Now and then a single review is worth more than the whole star average, and Euro Gym in Lima has one. A June 2022 member laid out nearly everything you'd want to know: "It boasts a wide variety of machines in good condition. I recommend going between 3 pm and 5 pm when it's less crowded; it gets very busy after 6 pm. The gym is open from 5 am to 9 pm and has two instructors working in two shifts. The monthly fee is 100 soles, and discounts are available for memberships of 2 to 3 months."
That's a peak-hours map, a staffing note, and an actual price in one place. I'd trust concrete detail like that far more than any "best gym ever" line. Note one small wrinkle: a November 2021 review gives slightly different hours (translated from Spanish): "open Monday to Saturday from 6am to 9pm, with a break from 2 to 4pm." So the exact timetable may have shifted - worth confirming, but both agree it's a long day.
The one-star, and the mechanism behind it
A November 2021 review dropped to one star with two gripes (translated from Spanish): "Good machines, but a small and disgusting bathroom for just one person... and on top of that they charge more than the chain gyms." The pricing complaint has a dull explanation. An independent, single-location gym doesn't get the bulk buying power of a chain, so it often costs more per month than a big franchise nearby. That doesn't make the reviewer wrong to feel stung. It just moves the question to what am I paying the premium for - closer location, smaller crowd, a specific instructor?
The bathroom complaint is more interesting because the record shows it getting fixed. An April 2023 review reports (translated from Spanish): "Safe place to train, they improved the bathroom and added new machines." So a real weakness from 2021 looks addressed by 2023. That's the kind of arc a single snapshot rating hides.
What the 4.3 across 32 measures
Thirty-two ratings is a modest sample, and 4.3 is a working-gym score, not a rave. The words track it: solid machines, decent hours, a genuine bathroom problem that improved, and a pricing gripe. A February 2026 review, the most recent, simply says (translated from Spanish): "The best gym I've been to so far." My read? A dependable neighborhood gym that costs a bit more than the chains and knows it.
What's missing
No current price - the 100 soles figure is from June 2022 and may have changed. No description of showers or changing rooms beyond the single-toilet complaint. The record lists roughly 6am to 10pm hours, which differs again from what reviewers say, so treat all posted times as approximate until you call.
Who it's not for
Anyone chasing the cheapest option - reviewers agree it runs pricier than nearby chains. And anyone who can only train after 6pm, since two reviewers flag that window as the busiest.
FAQ
How much does it cost?
A June 2022 review quoted 100 soles per month with discounts for 2-3 month blocks. That price is a few years old, so confirm the current rate on-site.
When is it least crowded?
A June 2022 member recommended 3pm to 5pm and warned it gets very busy after 6pm.
Is the bathroom as bad as the reviews say?
It was a real complaint in November 2021, but an April 2023 review says the bathroom was improved and new machines added.
