Imperfections in their appearance, the fair sex is corrected in beauty salons. Anti-cellulite massage, acupuncture, LPG massage and various wraps help get rid of orange peel and a few centimeters in volume.
Among men, such procedures are not in demand, so the only way to keep fit is through sports. This is especially true for residents of the southern regions of Russia, where preparations for the beach season should not end at all. For this reason, the gyms of Krasnodar have "severe" male names. “Bear”, “Knight”, “Sparta” - read about these and many other halls in our review.
How to choose
So, you decide to buy a gym membership. Today in every major city there are a huge number of clubs. Our tips will help you make the choice:
- The location. Pay attention to the halls that are next to the house. This will allow you not to worry that after an exhausting workout you will have to spend another hour on the way home.
- Reviews Do not believe enticing advertisements. Conduct a short survey among friends and acquaintances - perhaps someone is already involved in sports and is very pleased with the club (coach) or, conversely, has negative experience.
- Intelligence service. The administrators of most gyms will be happy to conduct a tour. Pay attention to the presence of locker rooms and lockers, showers, a ventilation system, as well as the cleanliness in the room and the condition of sports equipment. Such a trip will be especially useful in the evening (during peak hours), because it is after work that many people come to train.
With or without a coach?
This important issue affects not only the amount of money spent, but also the quality of your classes. Almost all gyms in Krasnodar have personal trainers on staff to help you achieve the desired result.
Now you can find a huge number of tips and videos, detailing the training plan, the necessary load and other details. Many beginners, having familiarized themselves with such tips, refuse the services of a professional, thereby endangering themselves.
No wonder real athletes are engaged under the guidance of mentors. Yes, it costs extra money, but you invest it in yourself, and not just throw it away. The instructor's responsibilities include:
- preparation of a training program and subsequent adjustment;
- control the implementation of exercises;
- moral support.
In the style of “old school”
Everyday life of residents of a metropolis today is quite difficult to imagine without sports. Pilates, dances, exercise machines, step aerobics, yoga and much more - these classes allow us to escape from the hustle and bustle of time for our body.
Fitness clubs open literally at every step, but choosing the right one is not so simple. Sometimes sports facilities are visited out of curiosity, for example, young girls go to show themselves or with the hope of meeting a dream man. Professional athletes are bothered by such attention, and they are increasingly choosing proven “rocking chairs”, where there is only “iron” and like-minded people.
One of such places is “Sparta” (Krasnodar). The gym is located at: st. Kommunarov, 69. A small room (basement), all the necessary equipment for strength training and a subscription of 1000 rubles per month.
The Samson gym (Krasnodar) also offers a similar price. The first club was opened in 1988, and today there are 100 branches throughout the Krasnodar Territory.
On the ground floor there is also another gym - “Maximus” (Krasnodar, 15/1 Korenovskaya St.). Work mode:
- Monday - Friday 09:00 - 22:00;
- Sunday 09:00 - 15:00.
Nothing extra
Gym "Bear" (Krasnodar, Stavropolskaya Str., 204) also can not boast of a variety of group exercises. Extremely purposeful people come here, ready to work hard.
Two halls are open for guests (in one of them a zone with cardiovascular equipment is equipped), there are locker rooms and showers. A subscription for one month costs 1800 rubles - the number of visits is not limited, “freezing” is provided. For personal training, the surcharge is 400 rubles, if you pay 10 lessons or more, discounts are possible.
Visitors note the low cost of the subscription, neat and clean room, as well as good condition of the equipment. At the first visit, briefing and introductory training are conducted according to the basic program.
Another “bearish” name is the Grizzly gym (Krasnodar, 14, Trudovoy Slavy St.). Personal training, affordable prices (1200 rubles per month, a single visit - 200 rubles), as well as the preparation of oxygen and protein shakes.
Gym "Arena"
Krasnodar, st. Budennogo 2 - the address of the Arena sports club, popular among the townspeople. Work with experienced instructors, an individual approach, sports nutrition, professional equipment and a free mode of visits.
The cost of the subscription in the Arena hall depends on several conditions.
Firstly, it is possible to attend a one-time training alone (for men 300 rubles, for women 240 rubles) or with a trainer (700 rubles).
Secondly, preferential categories “students” and “schoolchildren” are provided, but the time for visiting is limited to 18:00.
Thirdly, you can purchase a subscription for 8 and 12 lessons, as well as a “free subscription”. All prices are on the official site of the “Arena”.
In addition, professional trainers can create an individual weight loss program, as well as give advice on diet and sports nutrition.
Fitness in the Arena opened at the end of 2014, so new equipment and halls continue to delight club card owners. Of the shortcomings - a small locker room and the high cost of training with a trainer.
"Hercules"
For a quarter century, professional athletes and fans of a healthy lifestyle have been engaged in the club's walls. Powerlifting, bodybuilding and armwrestling are the three main areas that the Hercules leadership adheres to.
The gym (Krasnodar, ul. Krasnykh Zory, 27) attracts, first of all, with affordable prices. A one-time training will cost 200 rubles, a monthly subscription - 1500 rubles. In addition, you can purchase a subscription for one year, the cost of which is 9000 rubles.
To find out how effective your workouts in the “rocking chair” will be, is quite simple - look at those who are already engaged there. Within the walls of the Hercules Hall prepare for the competition:
- Andrei Sukhov - multiple winner of bodybuilding competitions;
- Yuri Dementyev - international class master of sports, Eurasia champion in powerlifting.
Visitors' feedback notes the availability of professional power equipment and a friendly atmosphere. Three spacious halls can accommodate everyone, the problem of “lines” to the simulators does not arise.
“The Knight”
Training programs, nutrition adjustments and, of course, work with “iron” - all this is offered at reasonable prices by the club “Vityaz”, which works seven days a week from 10 to 22 hours.
A monthly subscription (the number of classes is unlimited) costs 1800 rubles, a daily visit (from 10 to 16 hours) - 1200 rubles. A single visit is 150 rubles. The club also runs an action: with the purchase of two annual subscriptions, the cost of each will be 5000 rubles (instead of 7000 rubles).
Recently, the Vityaz gym (Krasnodar, 11 Rakhmaninova St.) offers charming girls and women to sign up for Pole Dance classes. This is a type of dance that combines elements of acrobatics, gymnastics and choreography.
“Pole Dance” is performed on a pylon and is often confused with striptease. Of course, after a few lessons, you will not start to do difficult tricks, but gaining grace, plasticity and self-confidence is guaranteed to you. Training takes place twice a week, the price of a subscription for eight classes is 2000 rubles.
Club guests note the coordinated work of trainers and the administrator. Two spacious rooms are kept clean, there is a good ventilation system. Since the beginning of September, a sauna has been operating in Vityaz.
"The form"
Representatives of the fair sex are usually embarrassed to walk in severe “men's rocking chairs”. We advise you to pay attention to more modern fitness clubs - here, in addition to the gym, you will find a variety of group classes, a pool and a sauna, as well as a beauty salon.
The lion's share of positive reviews in the list of “ Gyms of Krasnodar” goes to the institution “Form”. The club management primarily cares about the convenience of guests who are provided with:
- free parking;
- safe and locker in the locker room;
- a set of three towels.
The “Form” has developed more than ten types of fitness contracts, the cost of which is in the range from 10,000 to 170,000 rubles.

Testing
Many guests make their choice in favor of this club because of fitness testing, which is carried out according to the author’s program of expert Andrei Staroverov. The procedure includes:
- analysis of anthropometric data (weight, height, measurement of skin-fat folds, etc.);
- assessment of the musculoskeletal system;
- study of the work of organs and basic systems for subsequent adjustment of the training program;
- Practical advice on nutrition and drawing up a personal diet;
Fitness testing is recommended not only before the start of the training cycle. Regular studies allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of the assigned program and make timely changes.
Issue price
Gyms of Krasnodar function in almost every district of the city. If you make your choice in favor of an inexpensive “rocking chair”, be prepared for the lack of a shower and other amenities. Such a club must be sought near the house.
Fans of comfort and a variety of fitness areas will have to “fork out”, because the cost of a subscription is likely to exceed 20,000 rubles. Ultimately, it all depends on financial capabilities and, of course, the desire to work on your own figure, and not just “hang out” among athletes.
