Puerto Vallarta Gyms and Spas Only one of these spas/massage centers in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico noted here is gay-owned that I am aware of, Blue Massage Spa (photo below). Acqua, Power Fitness Gym and the San Franciscan offer some gym workout facilities located on the South Side-Romantic Zone, and of those, Acqua (rumored to be gay-owned) would offer the most equipment and modern of a facility. Gold's Gym in the Plaza Las Glorias complex is probably the best, most popular and well equipped (as are many of its men) gym in Puerto Vallarta. Gold's is undoubtedly the gay favorite for bodybuilding and has plenty of gay clientele. Several of the facilities also offer Pilates and yoga which have become somewhat popular in Puerto Vallarta. Please call the particular person, gym, studio, massage therapist, spa or yoga locale for details because lessons, hours and prices do change from time to time.
