Locations
This is not a low-cost chain with 40 sites: these are large premium clubs. Choose by neighbourhood, commute and the amenities of that specific club.
01 · Alcobendas / La Moraleja
A 3,000+ m² club with modern equipment, physiotherapy and wellness (pool, sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi) plus a café. Practical if you live or work in the north / business-park area.
02 · Montecarmelo (north)
3,500+ m², 100+ weekly classes, Pilates studio, physiotherapy, pool and spa. A strong pick if you live in north Madrid and want class volume.
03 · Canillas / Hortaleza
4,000+ m² with lots of natural light, outdoor training, pool, sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi, terrace, café and spa treatments. Ideal if you move around the north-east of the city.
What you get
Details vary by site. Confirm on the website or during a visit what your home club includes.
Who it is for
It fits if you prioritise a premium experience over the lowest price. Less useful if you only want cheap access near Sol.

Before you sign
Search clicks usually come with price and commitment questions. Solve them on a visit or on the official site.
01
Check peak-hour crowding, showers, parking and the club vibe. A website does not replace 45 minutes on site.
02
The “from” price is not the total. Ask for a closed figure: joining fee, monthly fee, class extras and spa if not included.
03
If you travel or change cities (common for expats), ask about freeze, cancellation and whether your home club can change.
04
Confirm whether your plan opens other Holmes Place clubs in Madrid/Barcelona or only your home site.
Comparison
MadridExpats does not sell memberships — we help you choose with clear criteria.
Both premium. Metropolitan often appeals to professionals in other locations; compare the nearest club and trial policy.
Cheaper with more sites. Better if you prioritise price and proximity; weaker on spa and “club” experience.
Mid-market / growing. Useful if you want more than low-cost without the full premium ticket.
