A relatively new brand, having opened its first gym only in 2011, AltaFit has already earned a great reputation in Madrid. With the goal of making regular physical activity accessible to all, their prices are pretty reasonable (starting at 24€/month) but the quality of their services and facilities is premium-level. Highly recommended.
