Move · Palm Springs · Checked November 2, 2026

Gyms, day passes and trainers in Palm Springs. Pool day is not a workout.

Short answer: yes, you can train on a weekend trip, and Haven Training Center publishes what a visitor pays. Haven Training Center lists a $25 day pass and a $55 week pass with 24/7 access, per Visit Palm Springs. Pharos Athletic Club lists open gym access from 5 AM to 9 PM. Out x Out lists Steel Gym, EōS Fitness and The Fitness Edge as gay-friendly.

The town is famous for lying by the pool in a very small swimsuit, but the gyms are real, and some of them open at 5 AM so you can be done before brunch. Here is what each place says in public.
