About 10 years ago when I was there there was a Gold's. It's right in the center of town, and fairly cheap for the week. It had pretty good equipment too. I just tried to look it up but couldn't find it. What I did find is what I think is the same gym, but they changed the name to Golden's gym... lol ...

WE STAYED AT THE AVENTURA SPA, IT WAS AN ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT AND WORTH EVERY CENT.

Lats,
It use to be Golds But now its called Cancun Gym...
During our week there Id catch a cab each morning there and ride the Bus back...lol If I took the bus there Id never find it.
I met A couple of regulars there Cash and Coleman, Both very helpfull nice guys..Cash youll notice rigfht away, hes about 280 and fairly lean. Coleman was a Trainer there.

Theres also a "Flex" Gym that I toured and it looked Nice.
Right Downtown in the Old part is where youll find them, Not the Hotel area.
Another VERY old place but CHEAP I hit one day there was called "Musclz"
or something like that... Only 2$ a Day. Golds-Cancun Gym I paid 10$ each day. Take a Towel with you also or thats another couple a bucks.
I miss that place, Had a Blast there.

Mexico resorts

Hey Phil, I'm actually going to Mexico in a few weeks to scout out some resorts for the company I work for. One is aventura and we are also being sold on Moon Palace. I believe aventura and Moon are both from the same property group. Can you recommend anything? I am also checking out the fiesta condessa on coral beach. I heard they were wrecked pretty bad though, but should be up and running fully by next year when we go for our company trip.

Moon Palace is OK- I like the Oasis group a lot- really nice, staff is pretty good. Fun place. I have been to all there resorts.I like Mayan Rivera way better- they cater to you more for the same prices, 45 minutes down from Cancun and you can go 10 minutes down and catch the ferry to Cozumel, great place also. All 3 are fun places. What kind of place you looking for? Inclusive?
Do your self a favor and check if your hotels are 100% up and running, many are not and still charging full price. They say also last years storms where nothing compared to this years season coming up, so don't book to early.

Kaiser- Looks like you have to go down to Cancun real soon. They have added 1000 restaurant's or so since you have been and really changed the place quit a bit. Back 10 years ago there was a little red wood lacked box on the wall- it was funny - it was full of juice. Few of the guys there would get you any thing under the sun for the next day.

Lats- you will get great work outs there. Hopefully yours has air in it. I went to about 3 of them and they had no air conditioning, no windows. One day on a hot rainy day I got soaked in the gym, felt good but was very slippery.
Have fun bro, should be some great weather.

Aventura Spa Palace has a really nice gym.....mostly Hammer Strength equipment, dumbells only go to 60 or so.....but that is definitely an awesome resort!
