Embody in Arroios is a community-first gym with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere and a notably pet-friendly policy that signals the kind of open, informal culture the studio cultivates. The space is well-equipped with free weights and a cable machine alongside its class offerings, and members describe the vibe as great and the community feel as real rather than performed.
Staff are praised for being helpful and genuine in their enthusiasm, and the studio's founding philosophy of taking on challenges together runs through the way instructors and front-of-house staff interact with members. For members who find high-design studios feel cold alongside being beautiful, Embody offers a warmer version of the aesthetic fitness experience.
