Harare has 14 gyms in the directory and 13 are rated, averaging 3.93 on Google. That average is lower than most cities in our directory, and the top scores need a hard look.
Why the best scores in Harare aren't the best gyms
Three listings sit at 4.5 or higher: YardFit (5.0, three reviews), Brio place of fitness (5.0, two) and Dalesnastics Gymnastics Club (5.0, one). Add those reviews up and you get six people. That's not a ranking, it's a coincidence.
The evidence sits further down. Innovate High Performance Centre has 134 reviews at 4.3. Triton Gym has 30 at 4.0. Those two are the only listings with more than 15 reviews, and we'd start there.
| Gym | Rating | Reviews | Street |
|---|---|---|---|
| Innovate High Performance Centre | 4.3 | 134 | The Chase |
| Triton Gym | 4.0 | 30 | 176 A2 |
| Yo Fitness Westgate | 3.2 | 13 | 6XRM+43W |
| Bluff Hill outdoor gym | 4.2 | 13 | 2772 Sable Rd |
| No. 7 Gymnasium | 4.0 | 6 | Mbare East Stadium |
| Zumba with BK | 4.0 | 4 | Borrowdale Scout Hall |
| Galaxy Aliance hq | 3.0 | 4 | 6XQH+CH9 |
| YardFit | 5.0 | 3 | 170 The Chase |
That's eight of 12 named listings, and 14 are in the directory.
Listings that aren't conventional gyms
Read the names. Bluff Hill outdoor gym says outdoor. The Zumba with BK listing names a class series and a hall rather than a gym. Dalesnastics Gymnastics Club is a gymnastics club. And "Mvumba street", with a 1.0 from one review, is named like a street, not a business, so we'd ignore it. Yo Fitness Westgate has 3.2 from 13 reviews, the weakest score with a real sample.
Where in Harare are the gyms?
Addresses are thin. Several give only "Harare, Zimbabwe" plus a plot like 176 A2, and four use plus codes. Streets named include The Chase, Sable Rd, Hurworth Rd, Upper E Rd and Dornie Rd. Brio place of fitness lists just "Harare" as its street. We hold no map distances, so use Google Maps to find the door.
What are the gaps?
Opening hours exist for two of the 14, phones for four, websites for two, amenities for one, photos for one. Innovate lists a website; Triton lists a phone number. For everything else you'll need a visit. Is a 4.3 from 134 people worth a trip across town to see for yourself? We think so.
