You have a free morning in Lima before the flight to Cusco, and your hotel gym in Miraflores stops at a treadmill and light dumbbells. Can you just pay for one session at a local gym?
Yes: as of September 2026, 28 Lima gyms on Daily Sweat sell a day pass for S/ 10 to S/ 50, typically S/ 19.90 (roughly US$6 at September 2026 exchange rates), and all 28 sell it at the front desk. The rule that catches visitors out is ID: Smart Fit, with 19 of the 28 listings, registers visitors with a passport at its Pardo and Benavides branches, so bring the physical document, not a photo.
Smart Fit’s branches cover Miraflores, Barranco, San Isidro and Surquillo, the neighbourhoods where visitors tend to stay, but the value is at the independents: both S/ 10 passes and all 3 weekly passes are theirs. For the full list, see every Lima gym with a day pass or browse gyms across Peru; if you’re unsure you need one, read hotel gym vs gym day pass.
Prices and policies come from Daily Sweat’s listings as of September 2026. Each gym’s page shows where its price came from and when it was last checked — confirm before you travel, especially in peak season.

San Isidro Gym Fitness, at Ca. Victor Maúrtua 150 in San Isidro, sells a S/ 50 day pass at the front desk, according to a 2026 review: the highest price among Lima gyms on Daily Sweat.
Its listing describes average equipment, and reviewers accuse the gym of flexible pricing for foreigners. Hours: weekdays 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Sunday 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
How much does a gym day pass cost in Lima?
A gym day pass in Lima costs S/ 10 to S/ 50, typically S/ 19.90, as of September 2026. Of the 28 gyms with a day pass on Daily Sweat, 27 list a price; the typical figure is the rate on most Smart Fit listings.
What drives the difference:
- The Smart Fit branch: S/ 19.90 on most listings, around S/ 29 at Pardo and about S/ 30 at Benavides.
- The neighbourhood, at independents: S/ 10–S/ 25 in Barranco and Surquillo, S/ 35–S/ 40 in Miraflores and S/ 50 in San Isidro.
Elsewhere, Reeves Gym, a classic bodybuilding gym in Santa Beatriz, charges S/ 20. Gym Plus, a cross-training gym in Miraflores, sells day entry but has no confirmed current price. None of the 28 offers a free trial.
How to choose the right Lima gym
Start with where you’re staying, then match the equipment, then compare the total cost.
Start with your neighbourhood
- Miraflores: FORTIA (S/ 35), Millennials Gym (S/ 35), Gimnasio La Alameda (S/ 40), Gym Plus (price to confirm) and Smart Fit Pardo, Benavides, Larcomar, 28 de Julio and CompuPalace.
- Barranco: MasterGym Barranco (S/ 10) and Smart Fit Grau Barranco.
- Surquillo: Baransu Gym (S/ 10), MAES Gym (S/ 25) and two Smart Fit branches.
- San Isidro: San Isidro Gym Fitness (S/ 50) and Smart Fit Real Siete.
- Santa Beatriz: Reeves Gym (S/ 20), listed as open 24 hours.
Check journeys on the Lima gym map.
Match the equipment to your workout
Facility data is thin, so treat these as minimums: of the 28 gyms, 5 have confirmed free weights, 2 a power rack (Smart Fit Pardo and Santa Cruz) and 2 showers (Pardo and Benavides), and none a pool or sauna.
- Heavy lifting: MasterGym Barranco, Reeves Gym, or La Alameda’s dumbbells up to 50 kg.
- Everything confirmed in one place: Smart Fit Pardo.
- English spoken: FORTIA’s owner and some MAES Gym trainers.
Compare the total cost
A S/ 10 pass across the city can cost more, in money and time, than a Smart Fit round the corner.
Day pass or weekly pass?
If you’ll train four or more times in a week, a weekly pass costs the same as paying daily, or less. As of September 2026, 3 of the 28 Lima gyms list one:
| Gym | Area | Day pass | Week pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| MasterGym Barranco | Barranco | S/ 10 | S/ 35 |
| Baransu Gym | Surquillo | S/ 10 | S/ 40 |
| Millennials Gym | Miraflores | S/ 35 | S/ 140 |
At Baransu and Millennials the week pass equals four day passes; at MasterGym it costs less. Smart Fit Pardo’s listing also mentions 15-day and 2-week visitor plans, without a price.
Check whether a week means consecutive days; our guide to day, weekly and monthly passes works through the maths.
Rules that catch visitors out in Lima
The rule most likely to stop you at the desk is ID: two Smart Fit branches register visitors with a passport, and Gimnasio La Alameda asks for two forms of ID.
- A physical passport. Smart Fit Pardo refuses a photo of it, so bring the document to any branch.
- Agree the price first. Smart Fit’s daily price varies by branch, and reviewers accuse San Isidro Gym Fitness of flexible pricing for foreigners.
- Short Sundays. FORTIA and Gym Plus are closed; MasterGym Barranco closes at 12:30 PM, Smart Fit Pardo at 1:00 PM and Baransu at 2:00 PM. Caught out? Try a 30-minute hotel gym workout.
- Payment. None of the 28 is recorded as cash-only, and a review reports card payment at MAES Gym, but carry some soles anyway.
No Lima listing records an indoor-shoe or towel rule, and none of the 28 is women-only.
What to check before leaving your hotel
Before you set off, check your ID, the price and that day’s opening hours.
- Your physical passport, plus a second ID for La Alameda.
- The current day-pass price, especially at Smart Fit.
- Opening hours: weekends are shorter at every gym featured here.
- Some soles in cash, training shoes, a towel and a water bottle. Our carry-on gym packing list covers the rest.

Find a Lima gym that fits your trip
Daily Sweat keeps every Lima gym with a confirmed day pass on one page, with the price, how to buy, opening hours and facilities for each. Start with the Lima gym list to filter by facility, or open the map to see what is near your hotel, then confirm visitor hours and ID rules with the gym before you set off.
Search a city and use the map to find convenient options. Where available, listings show day-pass and weekly prices, how to buy access, facilities, opening hours, photos, and visitor notes.
