Gym Uvita - Health, Fitness, and Martial Arts

Fitness. Ahhhhhh yes!

Thanks to some very special people that were committed to bringing a solution to the heart of Costa Ballena, we now have a local spot with a nice variety of fitness options to enjoy.



The owners, Robbie & Ingrid, are long-time residents in the area. Both are health-oriented surfers, water-sports fanatics and accomplished in Jujitsu. So they found the location in 2013, and opened Gym Uvita.

After providing introductory classes to Brazilian Jujitsu, a buzz in town was created and they found the perfect people to make the gym a success.

Jesus and Margiore, who came from Spain, operate the Gym on a daily basis brining their specialties with them.

Jesus is an accomplished martial artist with focuses in Muy Thai, Kick Box, Kung Fu (Wing Chun), self-defense and weight training. Dudes – he will whip you into shape quick!

His wife Margiore has built a nice following with her cross-training focus for women. She is determined to wrench you gut with a plethora of Ab workouts, cardio, running, jump rope and much more.

Located in the heart of Uvita, Gym Uvita is open daily from 7am – 10:30am, then from 6pm – 8pm.

Whether you are interested in general classes or private lessons, Jesus & Margiore are available to get you fit!

This is a no nonsense Gym, no air conditioning, no treadmills, no TV’s. If you are serious, Gym Uvita is for you. Results are inevitable.
