VivaGym Padeleku is on Donostia San Sebastian Kalea in Vitoria-Gasteiz. It holds a 4.2 rating from 63 Google reviews. Everything on this record dates from 2020, so read it as history. There's one practical problem in it worth knowing about, and it's not the gym floor.
The App
A member in September 2020, one star (translated from Spanish): "The application does not appear to access the classes or to book."
That's the entire review, and it's the only complaint on record. Short as it is, it matters, because at VivaGym the app is how you book a class. Another member describes the sign-up flow going through the app as well.
So a broken booking app isn't a minor annoyance here. If classes are why you're joining and you can't reserve a slot, you've bought something you can't use.
Is it still broken? I can't tell you. It's one report from one member in September 2020, and app problems get fixed. But it's cheap to check: before you pay, ask reception to walk you through booking a class on your own phone.
What Members Praise
The positives are specific and recent, which I like.
A member in September 2020 (translated): "Large gym, well-equipped and differentiated areas (free weight, machines, crossfit, cardio). Varied classes and very nice instructors. Changing rooms with lockers and individual showers, very comfortable. Unbeatable hours as well as the price."
Individual showers rather than a communal block. Separated zones instead of one shared floor. Those are concrete details, and they're the sort of thing that decides whether you enjoy a session.
A member in March 2020 (translated) singles out how classes are run: "The directed classes are super good, the instructors are attentive and if necessary they modify the exercise so that you can do it in case of having any difficulty or injury."
Exercise modification for injuries is a real skill, and it's not a given at a budget chain. If you're coming back from something, that's worth more than any equipment list.
A member since opening, writing in August 2020 (translated): "It's pretty good, I've been since they opened it, I would add punching bags."
No bags, then. Minor, unless you box.
The Hours Contradiction
Here's something I can't resolve. A member calls the opening hours "unbeatable." The Google listing publishes no opening hours at all.
So the hours are apparently a selling point, and they're nowhere I can verify them. Check vivagym.es/gimnasios/padeleku, and note that VivaGym clubs don't all run the same schedule.

Are there punching bags?
No. A member who's been there since opening says they'd add them.
What are the opening hours?
Not published in the listing, despite a member calling them unbeatable. Check vivagym.es.

No, they're in Spanish. The quotes above are my translations.
