Who we are

A box, not a gym

At ZÍU BOX you will not find rows of machines or screens. You will find barbells, kettlebells, ropes and a coach who knows your name. We train the movements you use every day: lift, push, pull, run. Every class scales to your level, so the same workout works for someone starting today and for someone three years in.

Small groups

Twelve people per class at most. The coach sees everyone and corrects everyone.

No experience needed

Week one is technique. You learn to move before you load weight.

Everything scales

Same workout, different load. Nobody sits out a class here.

A real community

You start as a group and finish as a group. That is what brings people back.

What members say

From the community

★★★★★
I arrived having never trained before and in the first week they taught me how to move before adding weight. That gave me the confidence to keep going.

I train at 5 in the morning before work. It is the same group every day and that is what keeps me showing up.

What I liked most is that the class adapts. My husband lifts twice what I do and we train together with no problem.

Before you come

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be fit to start?

No. Most people arrive having never trained. Week one is technique and light loads, and every movement scales to your level. The coach adjusts the workout to what you can do today.

Comfortable clothes, flat soled shoes, a water bottle and a towel. That is it. If you have an injury or a medical condition, tell the coach before you start.

Booking on WhatsApp is better because groups cap at 12 people. Spots open 24 hours before each class.

No contract and no sign up fee. You pay for the month and if you do not want to continue, you stop. The quarterly plan is a prepayment discount, not a commitment.

Yes. The monthly plan is unlimited, so you come on the days that work for you. If you plan to train two or three times a week, drop-in may work out cheaper.

Yes. You can pay by SINPE Móvil, bank transfer or cash at the box.
