FITT
Between the city’s big-box gyms and its boutique boot camps there’s room for a quieter approach. Enter FITT, an appointment-only studio on Balmes where training and physiotherapy share a roof and nobody is counting heads. Physiotherapist and osteopath Jon Mikel Maradiaga and trainer Òscar Tolrà – an INEFC graduate with a decade of sports prep behind him – lead a small team that treats every client as a case rather than a membership number.
Personal training starts with an interview and a full assessment – body composition, mobility, strength – before anyone touches a weight, and the plan gets reviewed at regular control sessions as you progress. Reformer Pilates runs one-to-one or in groups capped at three, small enough that the instructor watches your form on every rep. The method suits the desk-bound especially: posture, flexibility, balance and core strength are the stock in trade, with Maradiaga’s specialization in spinal problems close at hand when an old ache flares up.
Physiotherapy, osteopathy and massage round out the offer, so rehab and training inform each other instead of working at cross purposes. Changing rooms come with towel service, and companies can book programs for their teams. Book ahead – everything here runs on appointments.
