Mexico City is one of the most exciting cities in the world to train in, with a fast-growing scene of coach-led gyms, functional training studios and HYROX communities. At around 2,240 meters above sea level, workouts here also feel tougher than at home, so a well-coached session is a great way to keep your routine going while you adjust. We picked four gyms with different strengths, spread across some of the city's best neighborhoods.
Staying for a few days? Many gyms in Mexico City offer discounted day passes through Fitual, so you can train without signing up for a membership.
Here's who we'd choose depending on how you like to train.
Athletes MX – Human Performance Gym in Coyoacán
Athletes MX calls itself a human performance gym, and it's built for people who like to train with purpose. Its 60-minute coached workouts combine strength, metabolic conditioning, running and mobility, and the programming is designed to prepare athletes for Running, HYROX and DEKA competitions, while staying accessible to all levels.
The gym has a well-equipped free-weight area with kettlebells, Olympic bars, dumbbells and slam balls, plus rowers, treadmills, bikes and ski ergs. What really sets it apart is the support around training: sports physiotherapy with injury treatment, manual therapy, cryotherapy and sports massage, as well as personalized sports nutrition.
Best for: HYROX and DEKA training, running performance, strength and conditioning, and travelers who want recovery services alongside their workout.

Members praise the personalized attention, efficient power and cardio routines, and the very clean space with all the equipment you need. The gym also has showers, lockers and changing rooms, which makes it easy to head straight back out into the city after class.

Atlic – House of Wellness in Lomas de Chapultepec
Atlic describes itself as a "House of Wellness," but its training is serious. Its system is built on three pillars, strength, endurance and hybrid training, with coaches who focus on correcting technique and pushing you rather than counting reps. It also offers dedicated preparation for HYROX and ATHX, and several of its coaches are HYROX athletes themselves.
If you prefer to train on your own, Atlic's Open House option gives you access to the space outside of coached classes. After your workout, you can grab a pre- or post-workout shake from its in-house bar, BLNDS.
Best for: Strength and endurance training, HYROX preparation, hybrid workouts, and travelers staying around Polanco or Lomas de Chapultepec.

Daava – Open-Air Rooftop Training in Condesa
Daava is one of the most memorable places to train in Mexico City: a boutique open-air rooftop studio in the heart of La Condesa. Classes are small, so coaches can focus on each person's technique, movement and progress while you train with the city around you.
There are three class formats: Functional Strength for building progressive strength, Conditioning Lab for high-intensity intervals, and Strength Move, which combines weights and cardio before finishing with restoration and stillness. Head coach Jesús Quintero is a certified strength specialist with advanced training in biomechanics and physical conditioning.
Best for: Small-group functional training, outdoor workouts, high-intensity conditioning, and travelers staying in Condesa or Roma.
