Here’s Where to Rent Fitness Space by the Hour (2024)

Can you rent fitness space by the hour? And if so, how do you go about even doing so? Frequent travelers know that it’s challenging to keep up with a rigorous exercise regimen when their hotel doesn’t provide a full-service workout room. And if your rendition of breaking a sweat involves rapid keyboard typing and coffee sipping instead, you still might find yourself in need of fitness space.

Don’t use unfamiliarity as an excuse to skip your training routine — workout rooms are now available for a temporary stint. Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, has thousands of fitness space rentals throughout hundreds of cities across several countries available to you. You can rent these spaces to use for filming, photoshoots, and even actual exercise. All venues are available to rent by the hour, and all without hidden fees and memberships. Plus, booking any type of space for your needs is easy to do with Peerspace’s streamlined rental process.

Here’s where to rent a fitness space by the hour, so your heart rate escalates from the stair climber, not from the stress of location hunting!

Why rent fitness space by the hour anyway?

There are several reasons why renting hourly fitness space may make sense for you. In fact, there are many reasons why your home gym or fitness center membership just won’t cut it.

For example, you might be producing a workout video and want to book a venue to shoot professional footage for a few hours. You can book professional gyms on Peerspace that have all the gear and space you need to make that happen.

Hourly fitness rental space is also a good option if you’re leading a meditation workshop or yoga class. You can rent a yoga studio for as many hours as you need on Peerspace, giving you access to the proper gear and ambiance without the membership fees and hassle.

The same goes if you’re a personal trainer on the road. You want to train a few private clients for a short period but don’t know where and how. A fitness space rental will fit the bill for each of these situations.

If you’re not exercising but instead using the fitness space for a production, you’ll likely need it all to yourself or for a small crew. A franchised fitness space will rarely rent you its entirety for only a short time.

And what if you’re throwing a private dance party? Use Peerspace to book a fully-equipped dance studio that fits your amenity and budgetary needs.

In cases like these, it makes sense to rent a fitness space by the hour. And Peerspace makes it easy to do so. Let’s learn more about that ahead!

Affordability and availability

Gym memberships are pricy, especially if you use them infrequently (which tends to peter out at around January 15, for many of us). And even if you are a dedicated exerciser, not all gyms have locations in every city you’ll find yourself in.

Luckily, many Peerspace sites offer inexpensive options to rent a fitness space by the hour, saving valuable time and money. You can use just about any of the spaces for personal events, professional productions, and just to break a sweat.

You’ll find classic yoga studios, fully-equipped gyms, sports courts, and so much more on our platform. And since you can filter results by price range, you can limit your search results to only fitness studios that fit your budget.

From free weights to jump ropes

What amenities will you need for your project? Just the space itself? Or perhaps fitness equipment, a juice bar, easy accessibility, and production gear? Regardless of your needs, Peerspace has you covered.

Here are a couple of examples:

A private luxury gym in Brooklyn

If you find yourself in New York City needing a fitness space, this private modern gym can be yours to rent by the hour. Its use includes everything from a rowing machine to a squat bench and an exercise bike to a jump rope.

Regardless of whether you’re training, filming, or hosting an unconventional exercise-themed party, the studio’s large windows allow for enough natural light that you likely won’t need to bring lighting equipment. And the brick walls create a rustic and stylish backdrop.

Just check out what one Peerspace reviewer shared about their time at this gym. “This space provided a gorgeous backdrop for my fitness photoshoot. Bright, clean, nice equipment, enough space to set up lights and camera gear and a very kind and gracious host. I’ll definitely be booking another shoot here in the future. Parking was also very convenient and this location is near a train line!”

A large CrossFit gym in Minneapolis

This spacious CrossFit studio in Minneapolis offers excellent amenities — !2,000 square feet of space to spread out, exercise bikes, and weight training equipment that you can move if necessary to accommodate your project.

And when you look at what’s included in your booking, the list is impressive! You can also utilize the tables and chairs, speakers, TVs, and changing room. This may be the perfect space for you if you’re hosting a fitness training seminar or nutrition and fitness class. Since it has garage doors that open into the studio, it’s also a great option for a production that requires the use of professional gear.

A production studio in Vancouver

Let’s say you find yourself in Vancouver, British Colombia, in need of a bright space with few obstructions to dance or do floor routines. In that case, this 450-square-foot studio with mirrored walls, Bluetooth speakers, and shared washrooms would suffice nicely. It is a flexible space that has primarily been used for productions and events, thanks to its open floor plan and on-site equipment.

A Peerspace reviewer who booked this studio for a portrait session shares: “Thank you for renting this amazing room!! We really liked it!! We used it for practicing dance, and it was perfect for that. Big mirror, clean floor, and also we could drink water as well! We definitely will use there again!!”

Yoga and dance, meditation and breathwork

If your routine requires more room to spread out and fewer items like weight machines, there are many Peerspace venues where you can rent fitness space by the hour that feature plenty of space and a modular layout.

Warm yoga vibes in Portland

A space designated explicitly for floor fitness might be more convenient for dance classes and yoga workshops. If you need to Om away from home in Portland, consider renting this rustic, warm urban yoga studio (pictured above) complete with props, tranquil vibes, and a lush garden. It’s 800 square feet and just $65 per hour.

A Peerspace user who booked an event here shares: “What a wonderful space, it was perfect for our event. It was clean, great parking and had everything we needed. I will definitely be coming back for a future event.”

A cute creative studio in Tempe

Similarly, this intimate 250-square-foot studio space in Tempe is for small floor fitness workshops or decompression sessions. It is only $40 per hour, with a 1.5-hour rental minimum. The host provides tables and chairs, speakers, filtered water, and a small kitchen for your use.

In the words of a Peerspace user who sounds like a regular visitor here: “This is the third time I’ve rented this space and, as usual, had a great experience. The room was clean, cool, and had easy access to it. Shaunte is great to work with. I would like to really thank her for working with me this morning.”

Tranquil and beachy in San Diego

Next, this yoga studio in San Diego is steps away from the beach and provides a serene ambiance. It boasts tons of natural light, yoga equipment, and floor-to-ceiling mirrors. A yoga retreat or dance class would be perfect here!

Along with the wooden floors and mirrored walls, the host provides yoga mats and blocks, WiFi, and speakers.

Check out what one Peerspace user shared in their review of this yoga studio: “This space is an absolute gem! The energy of the space begins with its amazing host, Nikki Rae. She is incredibly giving, flexible, helpful and always super responsive… Using the space for a meditative sound journey, I was able to host a full house of 28 participants, with everyone able to have enough space to stretch out and relax.”

A funky dance studio in Seattle

More specific sports

When using Peerspace to rent a fitness space by the hour, you will definitely notice there are a lot of options out there! Besides the types of studios and gyms we mentioned above, there are also fitness centers tailored to specific sports.

Here are some of our favorites:

MMA in Orlando

At some point, you might find yourself in need of a Mixed Martial Arts space in Orlando. Then luckily, you can rent this MMA gym fitness space by the hour. It includes just about everything you might need along the lines of MMA and strength-training gear. And since it’s an actual gym facility, the décor is on point too. Think tires, chains, sleds, logs – all the props you can imagine for such a diverse sport – and they’re highly photogenic props at that.

Take it from a creative who used it for a photoshoot and declared it an excellent spot: “I had an amazing experience here at Ironlife fitness. Aaron was extremely pleasant to work with. He was very timely and organized. The gym is an outstanding location for video and photoshoots. I highly recommend this place.”

Combat training in NYC

There’s an even larger combat training facility available to rent hourly in New York. And at 7,000 square feet, you’re sure to be able to capture the action from any angle. It offers all kinds of gear, from free weights to kettleballs to kick shields. Bonus: most areas of the facility are padded to mitigate potential damages.

According to a Peerspace renter who booked the space for a corporate off-site: “The space was perfect for our teambuilding training session. The facility was clean and we had everything we needed to run a successful training course. Sonny was great to work with, very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely request this space again and would certainly work with Sonny in the future. Thank you.”

Tennis in the Valley

How about renting a luxury home in Tarzana complete with a full-sized private tennis court? This Los Angeles property boasts a slew of gorgeous outdoor amenities to enjoy, from the heated pool to the barbecue grills, and can be the perfect spot for a tennis photoshoot or video shoot.

The courts are clearly an excellent place for filming, as evidenced by its Peerspace reviews. Here is one example: “This was an amazing day at an even more amazing house! Parking was a breeze, there was so much space for our team & talent, and many locations to choose from for our photoshoot! 10/10 would book again :)”

A soccer facility in sunny Miami

Soccer is gaining more popularity in the United States. So it’s no surprise indoor and outdoor soccer facilities are popping up across the country. One of our favorites is this modern and unique indoor soccer facility in Miami.

It is a 7,000-square-foot venue that is fully air-conditioned, making it ideal for working up a sweat. The venue includes a lobby, seating areas, TVs, a sound system, and a video game lounge, so besides playing sports, it’s a wonderful option for kid’s birthday parties. And check out its all-black, fully-enclosed soccer pitch! It would look amazing as the backdrop in a sports editorial photoshoot.
