Best Gyms Sliema

For anyone living in or visiting Sliema who wants to keep training, Best Gyms Sliema puts a fully equipped gym in the middle of one of Malta's liveliest towns. It is one of the gyms operated by Best Gyms Malta, and it pairs a sleek, modern fit-out with professional coaching and an upbeat atmosphere. Our directory lists it under the name Sliema Fitness.

You can compare it with other places to work out in our directory of gyms in Malta.

Equipment and facilities

The gym floor is divided into zones. A cardio area holds the running and cycling machines, a free-weight area caters for barbell and dumbbell work, and a strength section has plate and pin-loaded machines, where you set the weight by moving a pin rather than loading plates. A functional area gives space for bodyweight circuits, mobility work and conditioning.

Practical comforts are covered: showers, lockers, free WiFi and parking. You can even take a 3D virtual walkthrough of the gym online before your first visit, which is handy if you are deciding between gyms before you fly out.

Memberships and prices

Flexible passes suit visitors as well as residents. A single gym session costs €10, a week costs €35, two weeks €59 and a month €79. Longer single memberships cost €215 for three months, €330 for six months and €495 for a year.

Couples who share a home address, shown on their ID cards, can take a joint membership at €415 for three months, €635 for six months or €955 for a year. Students with a student card, or a valid letter from a licensed Maltese institution, pay €9.50 a session, €33 a week, €75 a month, €205 for three months, €315 for six months or €475 for a year.

Best Gyms Sliema is also part of the All Access Membership, which opens the doors of every Best Gyms Malta location. The network includes Tal-Qroqq, Pembroke, Birkirkara, Kirkop, Build, Mosta, Neptunes, Birżebbuġa and Marsa, with Birgu coming soon, so there is usually a branch within about fifteen minutes. That is useful if you work in one town and live in another, a common pattern for remote workers, who can read more in our digital nomad guide to Malta. Members also get special rates on classes and personal training.

Classes and personal training

Across the group, Best Gyms Malta runs fitness and spinning classes, including functional training and HIIT, a style of short, hard intervals, at its Pembroke and Tal-Qroqq gyms. Bring a water bottle, a towel, comfortable kit, clean training shoes and your booking confirmation.

Certified personal trainers build tailored programmes around your goals, current fitness and lifestyle, with one-to-one guidance and motivation. If you want to pair training with diet advice, the nutritionists at A New Better Life are listed in our directory, and the 24/7 Fitness Club in San Gwann is another nearby gym to compare.

Opening hours and planning your visit

The gym opens early and closes late on weekdays, from 05:00 to 23:00, so you can train before work or after dinner. At weekends and on public holidays it runs from 07:00 to 20:00.

Sliema has plenty to fill the rest of the day. Visitors staying in one of the hotels in Sliema and Gżira are close to the capital, which our Valletta guide covers in detail, and can cool off at one of the best beaches in Malta, play racket sport at 1 Padel Malta in Valletta or book a dive with 7R Diving Malta. If you are moving over for good, our UK guide to relocating to Malta covers the practical side.
