Gyms in Medellin

Are there any 24 hours gyms in Medellin close to Poblado? Price is not an issue.

I did not really like Bodytech.

Does anyone have details on the gym that is in San Fernando Plaza?

I am new to Medellin and would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks

There is one called Pantallina (or similar) which is on the street down below Oviedo (turn right and a few blocks along on the left). I dont think its 24 hrs though.

Besides the body tech, there is also a good gym in the Tesro mall (enter via the food court).

There's a free outside gym a block off of calle 10---turn right at Dominoes, walk 1 block.

Equipment:

various pull up bars
bench press
incline bench
1 curl bar

There's also a basketball court next to it. If you do bodyweight/conditioning work, it's all you need. It's not so great if you're a free weights freak. It gets sorta crowded after 11:00 am. A stream flows next to it, so it's still somewhat cool even if you go during midday.

there is a place next to Picillo Pizza in Envigado on El Poblado on the left side of the road when going into Envigado. I see people there at 5:30 in the morning but I dont know if they are open 24x7.

The gym at El Tesoro looks pretty cool. I've never been though but I just stare every time I go. =P
