I heard theres a gym called "Pitbull Gym". Does anyone know about it? Link to a website? where it is? Prices? Good or not, treadmills, etc...? any information would be great.

Also, Im staying in Hotel Zapata. Is Pitbull Gym close to Zapata? Are there any other gyms down there that you would recommend?

Thank you very much for you help! :classic:

I've lived in the DR for 9 1/2 years. Before I moved here I used to got to Boca Chica on vacation. I would go to the Pit Bull gym on those trips. It's walking distance from the Zapata straight up the hill on Calle Proyecto on the second floor of a building on the left. They used to have a reasonable day rate.

Free weights and locally made weight machines; no treadmills when I last went there.

It's #29 on this map:

Hey Celt,

Thank you so much for posting this information. Its been very useful in helping me plan out my vacation workout. That map will also come in very handy.
When was the last time that you were at Pitbull Gym? I hope theyve installed treadmills since then.

Hey irateskateboards...
I asked Roberto at Hotel Zapata abou the cost of that gym. He said he thought it was about $2 a day. Cant say for sure, but I guess I'll find out in several days.

If You Want A Really "HARD" Workout,...Get A "Personal Trainer"!

I Always did.
Any of the pretty young girls at the beach will be fine.
But be careful.
All Night Long,it's "PushUps,PushUps,PushUps"!!!!!
I used to stay at "Zapata's",they allow personal trainers in your room.

Do any of the other hotels around there let you use their gym for a fee? Like Don Juan, Or Hamaca, etc....

I used to stay at the Zapata. I'd get up early to run the beach then I'd walk up the hill to the Pitbull to get some weight work.
