The short version
For a place with 39,000 residents, Monaco is unusually well served: roughly eight gyms inside the Principality, two more within a ten-minute walk over the French border, and a free outdoor option on both ports. The catch is price. A standard monthly membership here runs €125–€270, and the top private club charges more than €5,000 a year. The two public facilities — one run by the Mairie, one by the State — are where residents get the best value, but both require a medical certificate before you can train.
This page helps you choose. For the full address book with hours and contacts, see the complete list of Monaco gyms; for the two municipal facilities in depth, see the Hercule Fitness Club and Stade Louis II guide.

If you live here: start with the public pair
Two facilities are owned by Monaco itself and priced accordingly.
The Hercule Fitness Club on Quai Albert Ier is the Mairie's gym, next to the Stade Nautique. Its 2026 tariff is €190 a month or €1,130 for a 13-month annual pack that also gives weekday access to the open-air pool in season. Students, over-60s, Mairie staff and people with a disability pay €890 a year; a gym-floor-only annual is €890, or €665 if you only use off-peak hours. It runs close to 50 group classes a week — body sculpt, cross training, postural strengthening, stretching, HIIT — plus coached spinning at €18 a session.
The Stade Louis II weight room in Fontvieille is cheaper still but simpler: machines and free weights, no classes, Monday to Friday 07:00–20:30 and Saturday mornings, closed Sunday. Enrolment and the first session are by appointment only.
Both require a certificate of no contraindication to indoor sport under three months old — see finding a doctor in Monaco if you do not yet have one.
If you want a private club
Fit Factory at Larvotto is the popular independent, with 600 m² of Technogym floor, a spinning room and a sauna facing the beach. Eclub on boulevard des Moulins is a smaller "connected" club built around an Egym circuit with unlimited classes. For hotel gyms, the Fairmont Fit is the only one in Monaco open around the clock and sells day access to outsiders; the Thermes Marins is really a spa with a gym attached, so its day ticket makes sense only if you will also use the pool and thermal areas. 39 Monte-Carlo is a members-only club with coaches drawn from professional sport.
If you would rather be coached
Monaco has a strong studio scene for people who do not want an unattended gym floor: The Forge inside Le Méridien (boxing, functional training, Gyrotonic), Brown House Athletic Club in the Patio Palace (small groups of six, sessions for teenagers and retirees), and CrossFit Monte-Carlo in Fontvieille. Prices are per session or per pack rather than monthly — see the personal trainers guide, and for group classes and outdoor training, training outdoors and in small groups.
Over the border
Two clubs sit within walking distance of Monaco and are often cheaper for a comparable floor. World Class, 6 avenue Marquet in Cap-d'Ail, is a large club with sauna, hammam and a boxing ring near the Stade Louis II end of Fontvieille; Gymway, 3 boulevard du Général Leclerc in Beausoleil, starts from about €69 a month. Both are in France, so contracts and consumer rules are French, not Monegasque.
