A guide to training in Guéliz

Guéliz is the best served neighbourhood in Marrakech for gyms. Here is what it holds, by discipline, including what KURV does not do.

CrossFit and Hyrox

Dune Training, at 60 avenue Mohammed V, is the neighbourhood gym for both. Mixed, 800 dirhams a month all in, with CrossFit, Hyrox and strength classes.

For Hyrox in a women-only room, that is KURV, on boulevard Zerktouni.

Pilates

By far the best represented discipline here. Several dedicated reformer studios operate in the area, among them Cloud Pilates, MADE IN PARIS, JEEFIT and Xora.

If reformer is specifically what you want, those are your studios. KURV runs mat Pilates, not machine work.

Yoga

Several studios offer it, usually alongside Pilates. The question to ask is not whether they do yoga but which one: a Hatha class and a Power Flow have little in common, and plenty of timetables only write "yoga".

Women-only gyms

City Club has a women's gym on boulevard Zerktouni, and Premium Fitness Majorelle runs one as well. Both are conventional fitness gyms with cardio floors and group classes.

KURV is on the same boulevard with a different premise: four disciplines, classes of twelve to sixteen, and no row of resistance machines.

How to choose

Three things matter more than the advertised price: how many places a class holds, the hour you can realistically get there, and whether you feel comfortable in the room. The third one decides whether you are still going in March.

What KURV holds is on the studio page.
