Carlos Rebolo Ginásio

Experiência positiva: Very well-equipped gym that has definitely seen better days 20 years ago. Surprisingly busy even in the middle of the day during the week. Watch out for an annoying, petty woman named Ferro enforcing rules ("Did you read the rules? Did you?") like her other job is giving out parking tickets. The other employees are friendly and helpful. Credit card machine worked with no issues.

Experiência fantástica: Das beste Studio auf ganz Madeira. Ich war zusätzlich in 4 stück...

Experiência fantástica: Came here a few time while visiting Funchal. Great gym and very nice people. Lots of great equipment

Experiência fantástica: First vacation gym I’ve ever walked into that has better weightlifting section than cardio, love it! Enough space, not crowded, dumbbells up to 96 kg (!!), they accept CC. Coming back for sure!

Experiência fantástica: Gimnasio a la vieja escuela, nos ha encantado entrenar allí aunque haya sido solo por un día, nos encontrábamos en Madeira de vacaciones y hemos podido entrenar a la perfección! Maquinarias excelentes y personal maravilloso. Nos han acogido con mucho cariño y el personal de sala está siempre atento en poder ayudar o motivar. Dina excepcional motivadora e instructora Gracias!

Experiência fantástica: Exceptional equipment selection - they have multiples of some really good machines that are hard to find at other gyms (eg. pendulum squat). The gym staff were friendly. Some tips for other international visitors: - As other people mentioned, make sure you bring cash, credit card might not work. - Rather than wiping down benches/seats with sanitary wipes like in some other places, you're supposed to pull a large towel over them while they're working out. So make sure to bring a full-sized towel (a small sweat towel won't cover a bench). I think they might rent or lend them at the front desk, but I couldn't tell for sure.

Experiência fantástica: Melhor ginásio do Funchal e melhor equipa sem sombra de dúvida.

Experiência fantástica: Amazing gym for serious weight lifters and gym enthusiasts! This is a bodybuilding gym owned by a successful bodybuilder. The equipment selection is top notch. Highly recommend! €12.50 for a days pass. I attached a pic of their prices.

Experiência fantástica: Melhor local de treino na madeira, máquinas incríveis e ambiente super acolhedor. If you are visiting Madeira, this gym is a must for any lifter or exercise enjoyer!

Experiência negativa: They do not take card so I couldn’t enter. Wasted 25 minutes walking for nothing especially frustrating when I chose to come here over other gyms which were closer!

Experiência fantástica: Hands down the best gym in funchal. Amazing equipment, superb atmosphere and the staff is super nice. I trained here for a week and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

Experiência fantástica: Probably the best gym on Madeira. For legs it's literally perfectly equipped. Pendulum, belt squat, leg presses, hack squat etc. Dumbbells exceed 90kg, which is crazy good. The trainers are really trying their best to help and keep the gym tidied up. We also bought some of the merch from the gym, which is really cool. It's definitely not super fancy, rather a hardcore gym. You can go there to destroy yourself.

Experiência fantástica: Not a big gym, but there is everything you need and more! I recommend this gym! A day pass costs 12,50€, that’s not small money but if you stay longer there are week pass.

Experiência negativa: I didn’t like it at all there. Everything is old and hard to regulate(I’m 155cm and it was impossible for me to use the machines since they are ancient), there is only 2 mats for the whole gym, no fitness equipment whatsoever. It’s also pretty small. If you are a dude that just wants to lift- probably perfect. But for the price you pay there per month you can literally find so many more better gyms nearby. They should really renovate everything and renew the equipment. P.S. to the passive aggressive comment below. Hard-core gym doesn’t mean there should only be one dirty mat at the gym and no disinfectant sprays whatsoever (no one is cleaning after themselves). You can still make it clean and comfortable while being hardcore.

Experiência negativa: (Reply to your answer: there are other gyms that are cheaper and you can focus on your workout, with new and modern equipment..: there is no advantage at paying more and having old equipment and having to also abide by 100 silly rules which no other gym does. It's a joke) I have been going at gyms since 2011, as well as in many other countries when I have travelled. Well let me tell you that this is the first gym where i've been to where they have 2 dedicated persons to come and tell you to not put a 10 kg weight on the bench because it would brake it... it happened with another apparatus as well, i had the lady come and tell me this and that. Guys, the equipment is as old as it could without not breaking apart, and your fee for a day or a week is ridiculously high. Seriously, why would anyone want to come and workout with "precious" ancient machines, while someone stays like a vulture behind your back to see how you are using the equipment.

Experiência fantástica: Bodybuilding style gym with a great selection of new & old machines (panatta). Free weights area with very heavy dumbbells. Caters to your needs, especially if you're on holidays and want to get a quick workout in.

Experiência fantástica: Excelente espaço, monitores e funcionários com uma atitude excelente.

Experiência positiva: Loads of machines to work on, even for beginners. Personal trainers are present, so if you need help with anything, you can ask. Showers are decent.

Experiência fantástica: As pessoas que treinam aqui vêm com seriedade mesmo para se focar no treino, ao contrário de outros lugares. Aqui as máquinas são boas, não é um ginásio muito grande mas é o suficiente e possui as máquinas suficientes para um bom treino completo

Experiência negativa: Some of the managers have aggression issues. 1 interaction: one of the guys who apperently works there, called attention of my girlfriend in a disrespectful manner like you would call attention of a dog, to tell her that its not allowed to put her feet on the bench. 2 interaction: this time she placed a weight on the bench, i agree its not supposed to be placed there but thats why people can communicate) his body was shaking when he tried to tell her that next time she will be thrown out of the gym. I guess too much adrenalin, maybe you should fight in the ring instead of releasing your aggression on young girls. UPDATE after owner's response. 10 times is not true, we only went there few times and there was 2 interactions. Also after this review our both memberships where canceled by the gym. Genuine reviews and own opinions are not tolerated here. bravo.

Experiência fantástica: Amazing bodybuilding community. You really notice the difference in the machine’s capability to hit your muscles compared to regular gym chains. The IFBB champ (owner of the gym) knows what’s good . very affordable. excellent support by the trainers whenever you ask for it. Had the toughest workout of my life here. Conclusion: A must check-out for every athlete/fitness/bodybuilding enthusiast (or anybody just looking to workout) when in Madeira!

Experiência positiva: El gym se ve bien completo. Lo que si ví mucha gente y el precio es elevado.

Experiência positiva: Nice Little gym. No payment by Card.

Experiência fantástica: Proper old school gym. Best in town! Week pass from 20€ available which is great for tourists.

Experiência fantástica: Nice gym and very good machines. Had a very good workout for a reasonable price. Keep in mind not to deadlift to loud ;-) 5/5 would recommend anyone who’s into vacation lifting.

Experiência fantástica: O ginásio é muito bom, os PT's que estão lá estão sempre dispostos a ajudar e eles também montam o vosso treino caso vocês queiram, e as pessoas são super atenciosas

Experiência fantástica: Serious bodybuilding gym. Hard to lift here and not be motivated. If you are traveling, they welcome drop-ins. If I did not live on the other side of the island, I would absolutely lift here.

Experiência fantástica: Great gym-excellent machines inc Panatta. Friendly staff and not expensive. Positive and friendly atmosphere. Love it here!

Experiência fantástica: Excelente lo recomiendo entrenadores muy amables

Experiência fantástica: Amazing gym, friendly people and all the equipment you need is there. Would highly recommend!

Experiência fantástica: Great gym, loads of free weights and everything you need to get ripped

Experiência negativa: Para exigir tanto a los clientes hay que ofrecer más. No estaría de más que limpiaran las barras y todo el material oxidado que tienen. Una pasadita a los ventiladores no estaría tampoco mal.

Experiência fantástica: Melhor ginásio da Madeira na vertente de musculação. Super bem equipado e com monitores muito competentes.

Experiência positiva: Buenos equipos y la atención del equipo de trabajó es bastante buena, del dueño del gym no puedo decir lo mismo, le hace falta una capacitación de atención al público del resto muy bien el lugar.

Experiência positiva: Pessoal simpático. Bons equipamentos

Experiência negativa: They don’t take cc wasted 30 min. I should have read the other reviews. But this is obviously a way to keep travelers out!

Experiência fantástica: Una delle migliori palestre per il bodybuilding in cui sia mai stato

Experiência fantástica: O melhor ginásio da cidade!

Experiência fantástica: I love training here! Without a doubt the best hypertrophy and strength training gym in Madeira. I used to hate gyms and only briefly trained in one or two over the years, but they were always commercial gyms or fitness centre/health club types of places with more noisy cardio equipment than machines, especially leg and glute-focused machines. This is much more what I expect of a gym: a room dedicated entirely to free weights and machines. No noise from treadmills (they are in a separate room), no distractions from the weights, love it. This place has every machine you could want and it makes training so much easier if you are still developing the stability and mobility to overload and get the most hypertrophy out of classic barbell exercises. Two things make this gym stand out. First, there is always a trainer you can go to to ask for help on how to use a piece of equipment or for an exercise recommendation. They're all helpful enough, but Dina in particular is proactive in making herself available to everyone, no matter how inexperienced or seasoned you are. She is approachable and makes sure you have understood how to use the machine correctly + recommends a starting weight. This is in stark contrast to other gyms I've seen where the "trainers" seem to stand around looking bored or do nothing but chat with their buddies. Second, the weights are almost always racked and in proper order. It drives me crazy when weights are just left on machines or racked out of order, so this shows there is proper respect for the training environment. I always look forward to the privilege of training there and I like looking at the trophies and bodybuilding photos on the walls, a constant reminder of what the mind can achieve.

Experiência fantástica: Very good gym, helpful staff.

Experiência fantástica: I contacted this gym based in central Funchal in Madeira from London a few weeks before I was departing to ask about getting a personal trainer to do a block of sessions while there. André responded straight away and organised a trainer for me and put me in touch so I could arrange the sessions. This guy was called Elton, really great, in his final year of a degree in sports science. He really motivated me and helped me exceed my goals. I was very happy to have this guy and he speaks fluent English. Friendly and knows his stuff. The gym itself is great. It’s what I call a no nonsense gym, so no fluffy towels and sauna rubbish, just a straight forward body builders gym with a very impressive array of machines and free weights. One machine is called the giraffe (for legs) and it’s a nightmare, if you don’t put your weights back you have to use it. Also, if it’s your birthday you have to do a set while everyone claps haha. The gym has a good vibe. The gym was certainly not a men only gym so not intimidating with a good mix of both genders. Showers and bathrooms clean and working order. For me this it was all perfect. Highly recommended. Thanks to the Carlos Rebolo team!

Experiência fantástica: Eins der tollsten gyms In denen ich im Urlaub je war.zwar mit 30 Euro die Woche eher teurer aber super Ausstattung und vor allem so nette Menschen. Hab mich wie zu Hause gefühlt.

Experiência fantástica: Known among the locals as the gym for the "big guys". Nice and clean gym, with many different kind of machines and tools. Small but that's expected on a small island.

Experiência fantástica: 10€ for one training, really good machines and a lot free weights. I also enjoyed the music during the training

Experiência fantástica: Melhor ginásio da Madeira... hard-core gym. The best gym.

Experiência fantástica: Tengo un mes en este gym y está bastante completo en máquinas, pesas etc... El equipo de personas que trabajan aquí excelente sobre todo Dania muy dedicada... Lo recomiendo!!!

Experiência fantástica: Pleasant surprise to find a gym like this in Funchal, at the east end of the old center. Plenty of space, lots of machines, free weights and power racks and the pleasant atmosphere of a family run gym. Week pass (7:00-17:00) for 20 € works nicely for me and I am looking forward to my next workout there.

Experiência fantástica: Ginásio 5 estrelas, atenção não é um health club. Se gostas ou queres treinar a sério num ambiente que te motiva e é livre de qualquer distração este é o sítio ideal.

Experiência fantástica: Proper old school gym. Best in town! Week pass from 20€ available which is great for tourists.

Experiência fantástica: I trained here for 10 days. Excellent equipment consisting of many flat & inclined benches. Machines to cover every muscle type. And a huge selection of free weights. I found Dina the female gym instructor, most helpful in showing me various machine techniques, throughout 10 days. Nothing is too much trouble for her. I will be back in the future when I visit Madeira next.

Experiência fantástica: Great place to go if your seriously want to workout. Lots of machines to use for weights. They have a brand new cardio section. There is always a trainer on the floor to help out with workout. Good for visitors who want to workout,as they have daily, weekly or monthly payment plans. So you only pay for the days that you go to gym.

Experiência fantástica: Geiles Gym. Old school Flair. Tolle Atmosphäre zwischen Mitarbeitern und Kunden, sehr familiär. Die Trainer sind die ganze Zeit mit auf der Trainingsfläche um Hilfestellung zu geben und gegebenenfalls zu erklären.
