Retirees can keep their bodies in shape at a local gym

Gymnasiums are flourishing in Costa Rica. This means that Baby Boomer retirees and others can easily find a place to work out in the Central Valley. That way they can stay in shape and enjoy a healthier lifestyle while living here.

Costa Rica’s largest gyms recently embarked on a program of expansion. Gold’s Gym, MultiSpa, 360 and George Angulo have spent a combined total of almost $10 million to expand their facilities.

Gold’s Gym will open branches in three new locations: Curridabatt to the east of San José, Escazú to the west and in Costa Rica’s southern city of Pérez Zeledón. This represents a total investment of more than $3 million for the U.S.- based company. Their new facility in Curridabatt will be about 2000 square meters in size, have a large weight room, restaurant, steam bath, jacuzzi, a multipurpose room and a parking lot for 140 vehicles.

MultiSpa operates the oldest chain of gymnasiums in Costa Rica. Currently they have five locations and plan to open two more. One north of San José and another to the south of the city.
