Why one 80-year-old woman wanted Mallorca to know about this gym

Sometimes the best stories arrive unexpectedly.

Recently, Euro Weekly News received an email from an Australian woman living in Mallorca who felt compelled to tell us about a gym that had completely changed her perception of fitness clubs.

At over 80 years of age, she admitted that gyms had never really appealed to her. In her experience, many felt intimidating, overly competitive and, as she described them, “blokey” and full of cliques. Yet after discovering ONYX Fitness Club on Avenida Joan Miró in Sant Agustí, she found something very different.

“I have travelled the world and never seen such an amazing gym,” she wrote. “ONYX Fitness Club has kept me fit as well as included me in their fitness world.”

Located between Cala Major and Cala Nova, ONYX Fitness Club offers a modern fitness environment with state-of-the-art equipment, dedicated training spaces and a wide variety of classes including Yoga, Pilates and Hyrox. The club occupies a unique space where former squash courts have been transformed into a contemporary fitness facility, creating an impressive environment for members of all ages and abilities.

What stood out most in the email, however, was not the equipment or the facilities, but the atmosphere.

The writer spoke warmly about the club’s inclusive culture, welcoming people of all nationalities, ages, genders and fitness levels. She believes this comes from the philosophy of the owner and management team, who have created an environment where members feel comfortable, supported and encouraged rather than judged.

As she explained, management has the ability to shape not only the service a business provides, but also its culture. In her view, ONYX has succeeded in creating something special, a place where fitness is accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Alongside excellent facilities, professional instruction and convenient parking, members benefit from a genuine sense of community that can often be missing from larger fitness centres.

For one woman in her 80s, the experience was so refreshing that she felt moved to write to the newspaper and share her story. As she put it: “I never knew a gym could be so inclusive and such a pleasure to do a morning workout.”
