Fort Fitness St Julian's is the newest club of a Malta gym group, based at Hugo's Boutique Hotel on St George's Road in St Julian's. One membership gives access to every Fort Fitness club, and members book classes through the group's app. To ask about joining, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message on.
Fort Fitness calls itself Malta's biggest fitness community, and its St Julian's club is the newest branch. It sits inside Hugo's Boutique Hotel, in the heart of the island's busiest nightlife and restaurant district, and it opened in February 2026. For UK visitors on a longer stay and for people who live in the St Julian's, Pembroke and Paceville area, it is a convenient place to train without crossing the island.
The group is listed with the other gyms in Malta on VisitMalta.co.uk. If you are still choosing a base on the coast, our guide to hotels in Sliema and St Julian's compares the neighbourhoods.
One membership, several clubs
The big idea at Fort Fitness is that a single membership opens every club. The group runs four: the flagship at Fort Cambridge in Sliema, Quad at Quad Towers in Mrieħel, the St Julian's club at Hugo's Boutique Hotel, and a new Mosta site opening in October 2026. More than 7,000 members train with the group today.
For a visitor this means you are not tied to one postcode. You could train in St Julian's on a weekday and use the Sliema flagship, with its indoor running track and boxing academy, when you are staying a little further along the coast. Anyone relocating can read our guide to moving to Malta for the wider picture.
What you can do there
Across its clubs Fort Fitness provides strength and cardio equipment, functional training zones and studios, and a boxing academy. The flagship in Sliema stands out for its 150-metre indoor track, a rare find on an island where summer heat can make outdoor running hard going. The Sliema club covers 2,000 square metres and the Mrieħel club 1,000 square metres.
Classes run every day and are booked through the Fort Fitness app. You can pay with credits or by card, and classes marked as free for members cost them nothing. If you cancel up to two hours beforehand your place comes back as a credit. Parking of two hours is included each time you visit, which is useful in a part of Malta where spaces are scarce.
The Fort Fitness approach
The group is keen to point out that it does not see itself as an ordinary gym. Its message is about community: the idea that the people you train beside and the standards expected of you shape what you achieve. More than 30,000 people have chosen this way of training, and its clubs are built for those who want something more demanding than a quiet workout.
The history is short but steady. Fort Cambridge in Sliema opened in 2016, Quad Towers in Mrieħel followed in 2021, and the St Julian's club arrived in 2026. The Mosta club, at 204 Constitution Street, is billed as a project Malta has not seen before, with a sauna and ice baths planned and two hours of parking included. Signing up for news of its opening is possible on the group's own website.
Joining and getting in
Joining is designed to take minutes. You choose a membership, either an anytime option or a daytime one, and pay upfront or monthly. You pay securely online, and the Fort Fitness app is ready before you arrive: the app itself opens the door, so there is no card to collect. Prices are not published on the website, so ask for current rates when you enquire.
St Julian's is also the starting point for a lot of Malta's leisure activity.
