My first trip to the BrightStudioZone gym near Avenida da Liberdade 100 in Lisbon sticks in my memory. The size and orderly layout immediately set it apart from smaller places I had already tested.
The club runs in a structured, professional manner. That yields consistency and well-kept equipment, but it also means procedures and rules are observed closely.
First Impressions That Mattered
The layout is carefully planned, with a clear division of training zones. This creates a smooth flow and avoids the cramped feel common in smaller gyms.
The equipment selection spans cardio, strength, and functional training. Machines are modern, regularly serviced, and comparable to what you’d expect from established chains.
What a Typical Week Looked Like
My typical week included several strength workouts, a cardio-focused day, and at least one group class weekly.
Strength Training
During off-peak times, the experience is best. In peak periods, waiting for certain machines can rise noticeably.
One positive note: staff actively keep things clean and promptly fix equipment issues when they are reported.
Group Classes
The group class lineup includes familiar formats like strength circuits, cardio workouts, and flexibility-focused sessions. The quality of instructors varies, so trying several classes helps identify the best match.
"Trying the same class more than once often gives a more accurate impression."
