Challenger Fitness Centre Cottonera Sports Complex - Cospicua

Chris Morey

Good value, helpful staff and lots of equipment, so you rarely have to wait to use anything. Small shop with sports nutrition products etc, sauna. Only minor downside is no AC, so even with the fans it's warm in summer

The Challenger Gym Cottonera is situated in a sport complex building. The gym and its entrance is on the left hand side of the building on the 1st floor. You can even see a light sign above the entrance (see picture): Just up the stairs, then to the right and you are there.
The gym is big and gives you a feeling of being in a garage and that is perfectly alright if you like that. Do not expect a high end gym though.
It is also perfect for tourists as you can walk in to the desk and ask for a daily ticket which is about 7€. However, it is recommended to have a look at the prizes for a week or a month as well, if you stay longer and are a regular gym user. You get a Bronze membership card for that if you only want to train in the Challenger gym in Cottonera. That is all. The card expires after that and does not continue. Be sure to have enough cash with you as you can not pay by credit card there. ( That was in August 22)
The staff there is friendly and willing to help if there are questions. Rhey also let you to have a walkaround, if you are not sure if the gym is appropriate for you.

The gym has 3 wifi spots which are strong and even have 5G possibilities. You only have to log in to all of them. Fans and alcohol dispenser to clean the equipment can be found everywhere there and the gym is cleaned regularily. 2l water bottles are provided for 1€ and towels for 4€. Only cash though. Besides that you can have also protein shakes there and can even buy protein or other supplements.

The gym is divided in 2 parts: On the right side there is mainly the cardio/warm up section, on the left, the weight/ machine section.

The cardio area has a lot of cardio possibilities a few cable machines and a tiny streching/warm up section. Although it should be given more space for more people to use it, it is well equipped.

The weight area is huge and consists of a huge variety of weights. However, although there are signs everywhere to do this, people just put the weights wherever they find space. This means that you are sometimes spending a lot of time just looking for the right pairs of weights.
The changing room is equipped with a sauna (maybe for colder days), lockers, showers and a toilet. Be sure to bring a padlock with you if you want to lock your belongings. If you do not have one, you can put them outside in a shelves next to the men changing room. There is a camera watching it which gives you a sense of security. Do not take the most precious things with you, although it has to be said that in almost 20 day of training there, nothing was stolen from my bag.

So, if you like the gym garage athmosphere and do not mind it if it gets a littlw crowded at some times when training then this is a good gym solution.
