Heracles

Heracles has been running since 2001 at Independenței Street 16/1, right in the heart of Botanica. Besides a gym with Italian Panatta machines, a cardio area and zones for free weights, functional training and stretching, the club has a swimming pool, a Finnish sauna, infrared cabins, a solarium and a fitness bar. The halls are roomy, with panoramic windows and high ceilings.

On heracles.md the club puts personal training, boxing, aqua aerobics and children’s swimming up front, and introduces each trainer with their speciality.

Members are highly satisfied. They praise the cleanliness, a well-ventilated gym that is rarely crowded, friendly trainers and good value for money, with some calling it the best option in Botanica. Points raised include weak hairdryers and one member’s frustration at not being able to buy a combined gym and pool pass.

Membership options are listed on the website; contact details are on this page.
