Gym Membership Cost in Malta (2026)

Gym memberships in Malta start at around €25 per month and go up to €90 or more for premium facilities. Here is what you will actually pay at every level, and what you get for it.

The Quick Version

If you just want the numbers:

• Budget gyms: around €25-35/month
• Mid-range gyms: around €50-65/month
• Premium clubs: around €70-90/month
• CrossFit boxes: around €70-130/month
• Day passes: around €10-16
• Weekly passes: around €35-37

Those ranges cover the vast majority of gyms on the island. We will break down exactly what you get at each price point below.

Budget Gyms in Malta (Under €35/Month)

If you want a no-frills gym that does the basics well, Malta has a few solid options at the lower end of the price scale. You will not get a pool, sauna, or premium equipment at this tier, but you will get clean facilities and enough equipment to train properly.

24/7 Fitness Club

24/7 Fitness Club is the most obvious budget pick in Malta, with memberships running around €25-35 per month across five locations including Ta' Qali, Mellieha, San Gwann, St Paul's Bay, and Santa Lucia. As the name suggests, they offer genuine round-the-clock access, which is unusual in Malta. Most other gyms on the island close by midnight at the latest, so if you train at 2am or 4am, this is realistically your only option.

The equipment leans toward functional and cross-training setups. It is not flashy, but reviewers consistently call it "very reasonably priced" and the facilities are clean and functional. They also run scheduled fitness classes included in the membership fee, which adds real value at this price point. 24/7 Fitness Club has been operating for over 20 years in Malta and participates in the government free gym scheme for young people aged 16-21.

Bodyflex

Bodyflex sits at around €25-30 per month and is about as stripped-back as it gets. Basic equipment, no real amenities, but clean and functional. Day passes are around €5, which makes it the cheapest drop-in option we have found in Malta. If your priority is keeping costs down and you do not need classes, a pool, or anything beyond weights and cardio machines, Bodyflex does the job. It is a popular choice among digital nomads on tight budgets who just need somewhere functional to lift.

Lion's Den (Birkirkara)

Lion's Den in Birkirkara charges around €30 per month. It has an old-school gym atmosphere that some people genuinely prefer over the more polished commercial chains. The equipment is solid for strength training, and it attracts a crowd that is there to work rather than socialise. No frills, but no pretension either.

Mid-Range Gyms in Malta (€35-65/Month)

This is where most people in Malta end up. You get better equipment, group classes, and a more complete training environment. The jump in quality from budget to mid-range is noticeable, and for most people we think this tier hits the sweet spot between value and experience.

Best Gyms Malta (BGM)

BGM is the standout in this category. For around €50-65 per month on their All Access membership, you get entry to all eight locations across Malta, including Sliema, Marsa, Mosta, Pembroke, Birkirkara, Kirkop, Tal-Qroqq, and Neptunes. The idea is that no member is ever more than 15 minutes from a gym, and for anyone whose routine varies by day or whose home and workplace are in different parts of the island, the multi-location access is genuinely useful. They are also expanding, with a Birgu location in development.

All BGM locations have cardio and strength equipment, lockers, showers, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Several sites include a boxing studio or boxing ring, and BGM Sliema has a combat studio with mats for boxing and martial arts training. Group classes, spinning sessions, and personal training are available across the network. Single-location memberships are cheaper if you only need access to one gym.

We think BGM offers the best value proposition in Malta for a conventional gym membership. The multi-location model solves a real problem on an island where traffic can make a 10-minute drive into a 40-minute ordeal during rush hour.

Fort Fitness (Sliema)

Fort Fitness at Tigne Point in Sliema runs around €55-65 per month. For that, you get a 2,000 square metre facility with over 140 machines, a three-lane indoor running track, a boxing ring, and dedicated areas for strongman, powerlifting, calisthenics, and functional training. It opens at 5am on weekdays and stays open until midnight. There is also an on-site physiotherapy clinic and Azure Wellness for recovery treatments, which is a nice addition for anyone training seriously.

The honest assessment: the equipment and space are genuinely impressive, and it is one of the best-equipped gyms in Malta for serious strength training. Personal trainers and fitness competitors tend to gravitate here. The trade-off is that it gets packed between 5:30pm and 7:30pm, the music can be very loud (even noise-cancelling headphones struggle, according to some reviewers), and there is no air conditioning, which is a real issue in Malta's summer heat. Day passes are around €10 and weekly passes around €35.

The Gym (Msida)

The Gym in Msida charges around €45-55 per month. It has Olympic weightlifting platforms and includes sauna and steam room access in the standard membership, which is unusual at this price point. Day passes are around €10. It is a good middle ground between the budget chains and the premium clubs, and the inclusion of recovery facilities gives it an edge over similarly priced competitors.

Energie Fitness (Sliema)

Energie Fitness in Sliema comes in at around €30 per month, which makes it one of the cheaper options in the Sliema area. The equipment is basic but serviceable, and the location is walkable from most expat apartments in central Sliema. For anyone living in the Sliema waterfront area who just wants a nearby gym without paying premium prices, it is worth considering.

Premium Gyms in Malta (€65+/Month)

At this price point, you are paying for more than just gym equipment. Think pools, saunas, Turkish baths, and spa-adjacent facilities. The question is whether the extras justify the premium, and for some people they genuinely do.

Cynergi Health & Fitness Club (St Julian's)

Cynergi is arguably Malta's most complete single gym facility. Monthly membership runs around €70-90, with an off-peak option at around €60 if you can train outside peak hours. For that, you get a 2,500 square metre gym with Technogym equipment, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, Turkish bath, squash courts, and over 40 group fitness classes per week including HIIT, Bike'n'Beats cycling, and LifeCycle workouts. It opens at 5am on weekdays and includes free parking for up to three hours.

The pool-to-price ratio is what makes Cynergi worth considering. Most hotel-attached fitness centres with similar amenities charge more and offer less gym floor space. Reviewers praise the spotless facilities and the fact that pool, sauna, steam room, and squash are all included without extra fees. Short-term visitors pay more: around €16 for a day pass, €37 for a week, and €84 for a month. The annual membership works out significantly cheaper per month, so if you know you are staying in Malta for a while, committing to the longer plan makes financial sense.

Cynergi also participates in the government-backed free membership scheme for 18-20 year olds.

Sky Spirit Fitness Lounge

Sky Spirit charges around €85-100 for a single monthly membership, or around €50 per month on a 12-month plan. That is one of the biggest discounts for annual commitment that we have seen in Malta. They also offer an off-peak membership at around €55 per month, which is a meaningful discount if your schedule allows it. It is one of the more polished gym experiences in Malta, with a focus on a premium atmosphere.

Hilton Malta Spa & Fitness

The Hilton charges around €90 per month for non-hotel guests. You get a quieter atmosphere than most commercial gyms, a pool with sea views, top-tier equipment, and excellent trainers. It is the most you will pay for a gym in Malta, and the experience reflects that. The 7-day temporary membership is around €85, and 28-day access is around €150. If you are in Malta for a short trip and want pool access alongside your workout, the Hilton day pass at around €25 is worth considering as it includes the pool.

CrossFit Pricing in Malta

CrossFit is a different pricing model entirely. You are paying for coached classes, programming, and community rather than open gym access. You cannot just walk in and use the equipment whenever you want. Sessions are scheduled, class sizes are limited, and a coach runs every session. Across Malta, expect to pay around €70-130 per month for unlimited classes, with drop-in rates of around €15-20 per session.

CrossFit F15 (Msida)

CrossFit F15 near the University of Malta campus is one of the island's most established boxes, running since 2016. They are also the official HYROX Malta training venue, making them the primary destination for athletes preparing for HYROX races. Memberships fall in the €70-130 range depending on the plan, and they run a 15-day introductory offer that is a good way to test the waters before committing.

The facility spans over 400 square metres with two training rooms, showers, and changing facilities. They offer over ten class types including CrossFit, HYROX training, Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, functional strength, stamina, and mobility sessions. Reviews are unanimously positive, with coaches and community consistently praised. Multiple reviewers mention that beginners are welcomed and workouts are scaled to individual fitness levels.

CrossFit Tripod (Ta' Qali)

CrossFit Tripod operates out of the National Basketball Complex in Ta' Qali. They offer 11 class types including CrossFit, HYROX, SWEAT45 (a 45-minute cardio-focused class), and Olympic weightlifting coached by Squad Weightlifting athletes Vlad Baldacchino and Owen Camilleri. Pricing is likely in the €70-100 per month range based on comparable boxes in Malta. They also run a Kids Fitness programme and Savage Sundays for competitive members. The gym has two training spaces: a main functional floor and a specialist room for smaller-group sessions.

CrossFit Martell (Gzira)

CrossFit Martell in Gzira runs around €70-130 per month for unlimited access. Classes are capped at 12 people, which means more individual coaching attention than you will get at a larger box. It has a strong reputation for technique-focused coaching, especially in Olympic weightlifting, and is described as one of the most diverse gyms in Malta in terms of its membership base.

Day Passes and Short-Term Options

If you are visiting Malta for a holiday, here on a short work trip, or just want to try a gym before committing, most gyms offer flexible short-term access. This is worth knowing because many visitors assume they need a full membership to train.

Day Passes

• Bodyflex: around €5
• Fort Fitness: around €10
• The Gym (Msida): around €10
• Cynergi: around €16
• CrossFit drop-in: around €15-20
• Hilton Malta: around €25 (includes pool)

Weekly Passes

• Fort Fitness: around €35
• Cynergi: around €37
• LivingWell Malta: around €85 (7-day, includes pool and tennis)

Monthly (No Commitment)

Most gyms in Malta are flexible and do not require long-term contracts. Month-to-month memberships are widely available, though you will typically pay more per month than on a 6 or 12-month plan. If you are a digital nomad or expat testing the waters, this is standard practice and gyms are used to it. You should not feel awkward asking for a month-to-month rate. It is common.

Free Gym Memberships for Young People

The Maltese government runs a scheme offering free gym memberships to young people aged 16-21. The programme has expanded over successive budgets, with over 6,000 applications in its first year. Several gyms participate including Cynergi, BGM, SCRAM, and 24/7 Fitness Club. If you are in this age bracket and living in Malta, it is worth checking eligibility before paying for a membership. The scheme was introduced as part of a broader push to address obesity rates on the island.

Tips for Getting the Best Deal

Commit to longer plans. The difference between a 1-month and 12-month membership is significant at most gyms. Sky Spirit drops from around €100 to €50 per month. Cynergi's annual rate is considerably lower than the monthly walk-in price. If you know you are staying in Malta for six months or more, the savings add up quickly.

Ask about off-peak rates. Cynergi and Sky Spirit both offer off-peak memberships at around €55-60. If you can train between late morning and mid-afternoon, this saves real money. For anyone working remotely or on a flexible schedule, off-peak memberships are an easy win.

Check DealToday. The Maltese deals site dealtoday.com.mt regularly lists discounted gym packages, sometimes at up to 80% off. These are particularly good for trying a premium gym at a budget price. Deals tend to appear more frequently around holidays and the New Year rush.

Avoid peak hours. Between 5:30pm and 7:30pm, every gym on the island is packed. If you can train mid-morning (around 10am to noon) or early afternoon, you will have a much better experience regardless of which gym you choose. This is especially true at Fort Fitness and Cynergi, where peak-hour congestion is a common complaint.

Look at student and couple discounts. Most gyms in Malta offer reduced rates for students and couples. It is always worth asking even if it is not advertised on the website.

Consider what is included. A €90 membership at Cynergi that includes a pool, sauna, and 40+ classes may work out cheaper than a €50 gym membership plus a separate swimming pool membership plus paying for individual classes. Factor in the full picture before comparing headline prices.

Try before you commit. Most gyms offer day passes, and CrossFit F15 has a 15-day introductory offer. Use these to test a gym before signing up for a longer plan. The atmosphere, crowd, and peak-hour experience can vary significantly between gyms, and a single visit will tell you more than any review.

How Malta Compares

Gym prices in Malta are moderate by European standards. You will pay less than London, Dublin, or Zurich, but more than most cities in Spain, Portugal, or Eastern Europe. For expats and digital nomads coming from Western Europe or North America, Malta generally feels fair value.

The main adjustment is that facilities tend to be smaller than what you might be used to, and air conditioning is not universal, which matters a lot between June and September when temperatures regularly hit 32-35 degrees with 60-80% humidity. If you are arriving in summer, ask about air conditioning before you sign up. It is not something you can afford to overlook.
