Las Chafiras (San Miguel de Abona) is the heart of South Tenerife: a commercial estate that's easy to reach and has parking. If you're looking for a gym in Las Chafiras, you'll find options for everyone, from machine floors to functional training with coached classes. Here's what to check before you join, and why more and more locals train at a box.
What kind of gym are you after?
Not all "gyms" are the same. In and around Las Chafiras you'll mainly find two models:
- A conventional machine gym: you come in, do your own routine and leave. Good if you already know what you're doing and want total flexibility with timings.
- A functional training, CrossTraining and HYROX box: coached classes, in a group, with a plan that progresses week by week. Ideal if you want results, technique and motivation without having to plan the workout yourself.
If you're torn between the two, we compare them in depth here: box vs conventional gym.
Why Las Chafiras is a great place to train
Las Chafiras sits at a strategic point in the south: minutes from Golf del Sur, Amarilla Golf, Los Abrigos, El Médano and San Miguel, with direct access to the TF-1 and easy parking (not always a given on the coast). For many locals it's simply the most convenient place to train before or after work.
