The first DiR club, DiR Maragall, was started in 1979. One of its founders, Ramon Canela, is the current Director General of the DiR Group of companies. The group now has 15 clubs open, 14 in the city of Barcelona and 1 in Sant Cugat.

From the very outset our primary goal has been to bring the benefits of exercise to Barcelona residents, making it easy and comfortable to get into shape. Now, however, DiR is not just concerned with fitness. We not only want our clients to exercise their bodies in the gym; we also want them to get their lives into shape.
