DHARMA Entrenamiento

DHARMA Entrenamiento is a training center in central Tamarindo, in Local 4 of the Edificio Russel, next to the Pura Vida supermarket. Its website is in Spanish.

The center focuses on functional strength training, mobility and conditioning. It offers three formats: an open pass for group classes, personalized training in small groups, and one-on-one personal training. The first class is free. The gym is indoors and has air conditioning.

The website lists opening hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Most members are local residents, and some visitors drop in for classes while on vacation.

DHARMA is consistently well reviewed, mainly by regular members. Reviewers praise the small class sizes, the attention coaches give to technique, workouts that change often, well-kept equipment and a supportive community. Visitors on vacation say they felt welcome in group classes and got useful feedback on their form.
