You’ve spent the morning on Ipanema beach, and your hotel gym is a treadmill and light dumbbells. You want a proper session before dinner, without a membership.
Yes: as of September 2026, 27 Rio de Janeiro gyms on Daily Sweat sell a day pass (a diária in Portuguese) for R$ 29.90 to R$ 273, typically R$ 29.90, roughly US$6 at September 2026 exchange rates. You pay in person: 14 sell it at the front desk, and Smart Fit takes cards at a self-service totem. The catch is that Smart Fit prices vary by branch: travellers have paid R$ 40–R$ 49.90 in Ipanema and Copacabana, so confirm the price and carry your passport.
Below: eight gyms worth the trip, then which ones are near your hotel, what passes cost, how buying works, and when a weekly pass beats paying by the day. For every listing, see every Rio de Janeiro gym with a day pass or the map, or browse gyms across Brazil.
Eight Rio de Janeiro gyms worth the trip
Smart Fit accounts for 16 of the 27 day-pass gyms and Bodytech for 3 at the premium end; between them, the picks run from R$ 29.90 to R$ 273, with independents at R$ 35–R$ 80, across Copacabana, Ipanema and Botafogo. Each gym’s card shows the listing’s current price and when it was last checked.
1. Smart Fit — R$ 29.90–R$ 49.90 near the beaches
Smart Fit’s 16 day-pass listings span Copacabana, Ipanema, Botafogo, Humaitá, Flamengo and Laranjeiras, with a typical diária of R$ 29.90, paid by card at a self-service totem. The price varies by unit and isn’t confirmed branch by branch; travellers at tourist-area branches paid more, at the front desk: R$ 40 at the Smart Fit on Rua Barão da Torre 398, Ipanema, opposite Praça Nossa Senhora da Paz (January 2026); R$ 49 at Smart Fit Ipanema, Rua Visconde de Pirajá 138 (March 2026); and R$ 49.90 at the Smart Fit on Av. Nossa Senhora de Copacabana 690, bought with a passport number (May 2026). Most units list 5am–11pm on weekdays, 8am–5pm on Saturday and 8am–2pm on Sunday (official site).
2. Beach Club Fitness — R$ 35 for an evening session in Ipanema
Beach Club Fitness, at Rua Visconde de Pirajá 151, sold a March 2026 traveller a R$ 35 diária at the front desk, then charged them R$ 50 during Carnival. It opens 4pm–10pm on weekdays and 9am–3pm on Saturday, and closes on Sunday. The listing shows a power rack but no free weights, and a June 2026 review complained of old, broken equipment and poor hygiene.
3. Power Gym Botafogo — R$ 40 for old-school strength training
Power Gym Botafogo, on the 2nd floor at Rua Voluntários da Pátria 301, sells a R$ 40 diária at the front desk, which a May 2026 traveller called good value; earlier reviews (2022–23) rated it the best-value proper gym in Rio. Reviewers describe no overcrowding, and the listing confirms free weights. Hours are 6am–10pm on weekdays and 10am–3pm on Saturday.
4. Forma Fitness Copacabana — about R$ 50 for a machine-heavy session
Forma Fitness Copacabana, at Rua Barata Ribeiro 489, charged an April 2026 traveller about R$ 50 for a diária at the front desk; it sells only daily or monthly rates. The reviewer describes an old-school gym with one squat rack and few free weights; the listing also shows a pool. Hours are 6am–11pm on weekdays, 5pm–8pm on Saturday and 9am–1pm on Sunday (Instagram page).
5. Balance Fitness — R$ 50 with showers in Copacabana
Balance Fitness, at Rua Xavier da Silveira 23, sold a foreign tourist a R$ 50 diária at the front desk in November 2025; an earlier 2025 review reported paying R$ 79. Reviewers describe a small, busy gym where equipment gets tight from 10 to 11am, and the listing confirms showers. Hours are 6am–10pm on weekdays, 9am–1pm on Saturday and 10am–1pm on Sunday.
6. Academia Exata — R$ 60, with a pool and a weekly pass in Botafogo
Academia Exata, at Praia de Botafogo 501, sells a R$ 60 diária or R$ 180 for a week at the front desk, according to a July 2026 traveller, who describes a well-organised gym with lockers that gets quiet after 1.30pm; parking in the building is expensive. Hours are 6am–10pm on weekdays and 9am–2pm on Saturday, and it’s closed on Sunday (official site).
7. New Heavy Duty Academy — R$ 80 for free weights, open daily
New Heavy Duty Academy, at Rua Ministro Viveiros de Castro 157 in Copacabana, charged a R$ 80 walk-in price at the front desk in a January 2026 traveller review; an older comment mentioned R$ 50. That reviewer said it has everything you need, plus free wifi. Hours are 6am–10pm on weekdays, 9am–2pm on Saturday and 9am–1pm on Sunday.
8. Bodytech — R$ 185–R$ 273 for the premium tier
Bodytech’s 3 day-pass listings in Botafogo and Ipanema sell a diária at the front desk, priced by unit: R$ 185 at Bodytech in Shopping Rio Sul, Botafogo (2025 traveller reviews), where sauna hours are restricted and the pool isn’t included; R$ 200, or R$ 471 for a week, at Bodytech on Rua Gomes Carneiro 90, Ipanema, as the gym quoted in a 2025 review, with entry by fingerprint; and R$ 273 at Bodytech on Rua Visconde de Pirajá 365-B, by Praça Nossa Senhora da Paz (February 2026). All three open 6am–10pm on weekdays; weekend hours vary, and Visconde de Pirajá closes on Sunday.
Where to train, by neighbourhood
A R$ 49.90 Smart Fit around the corner can beat a R$ 29.90 unit across town once you count the journey and anything the pass leaves out. The Rio de Janeiro gym map shows every day-pass listing near your hotel.
- Copacabana: several Smart Fit units, Forma Fitness, Balance Fitness and New Heavy Duty Academy.
- Ipanema: Smart Fit, Beach Club Fitness, Bruk Ipanema and Bodytech.
- Leblon: no day-pass listing yet; start with the Ipanema gyms around Praça Nossa Senhora da Paz.
- Botafogo and Humaitá: Power Gym Botafogo, Academia Exata, Bodytech in Shopping Rio Sul, The Simple Gym and several Smart Fit units.
- Flamengo and Laranjeiras: Smart Fit on Rua Senador Vergueiro and Rua das Laranjeiras.
Of the 27 listings, 6 confirm free weights, 3 a power rack, 3 a pool, 3 showers and 1 a sauna — a missing detail isn’t a no, so ask. For lifting, Power Gym Botafogo and New Heavy Duty Academy list free weights; for a pool and showers, try Academia Exata. If every option is a long trip, weigh it against your hotel gym.
How much does a gym day pass cost in Rio de Janeiro?
A gym day pass in Rio de Janeiro costs R$ 29.90 to R$ 273, typically R$ 29.90, as of September 2026. The typical price equals the cheapest because most Smart Fit listings carry the chain’s typical rate. Of the 27 day-pass gyms, 25 have a listed price. What moves it:
- Tier: Smart Fit’s typical R$ 29.90, independents at R$ 35–R$ 80, Bodytech at R$ 185–R$ 273.
- Branch: travellers have paid R$ 40–R$ 49.90 at Smart Fit in Ipanema and Copacabana.
- Date: Beach Club Fitness charged one visitor R$ 35, then R$ 50 during Carnival.
- Age of the quote: Bodytech on Visconde de Pirajá charged one visitor R$ 185 in 2024 and another R$ 273 in February 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.
Buying a pass: what to know
Pay in person, with your passport
Fourteen gyms sell the diária at the front desk, and Smart Fit takes cards at a self-service totem; none of the 27 listings is flagged as cash-only or women-only. Carry your passport, or at least its number — a tourist bought a pass with one at the Smart Fit on Av. Nossa Senhora de Copacabana 690, and at the Barão da Torre Smart Fit in Ipanema a visitor found the check-in system for foreigners down, though staff let them in — and confirm the price at that unit, not the chain’s typical rate: Smart Fit prices each unit, and Beach Club Fitness charged R$ 50 during Carnival.
What the pass leaves out
No listing requires a towel or separate indoor shoes, but the Barão da Torre Smart Fit makes shoes mandatory, so don’t come straight from the beach in sandals. Sundays are short: Power Gym Botafogo, Beach Club Fitness, Academia Exata and Bodytech on Visconde de Pirajá close, and Smart Fit units list 8am–2pm, so check that day’s hours, especially on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Pack trainers and a towel; our carry-on gym packing list covers the rest, and how to find a gym day pass while travelling explains the wider method.
One message settles most of it
Hello, I’m visiting Rio de Janeiro and would like to train on [date]. What is your diária (day-pass) price, how can I pay, and do I need my passport? Are showers and lockers included?
Vocês vendem diária? (“Do you sell a day pass?”)
Day pass or weekly pass?
For most Rio gyms you buy day by day: as of September 2026, only 2 of the 27 day-pass listings show a weekly price.
- Academia Exata: R$ 60 a day or R$ 180 a week, so the week pays off only if you train more than three times.
- Bodytech on Gomes Carneiro: R$ 200 a day or R$ 471 a week, less than three day passes.
- Forma Fitness Copacabana: daily or monthly rates only.
