SQUAD Porto

We visited Porto and did a drop-in at SQUAD CrossFit Center. Coach Sidon Dias was incredibly friendly. As foreigners, he gave us extra attention and care, so we were able to work out in a really comfortable environment. If you love CrossFit and you’re visiting Porto, you must go to SQUAD CrossFit. I highly recommend it. The facilities are great and clean, there’s no sweat smell at all, and you can really feel how much Sidon Dias cares about the gym.

100 days of SQUAD (Cross & Hyrox) and why I loved my mornings more than ever. I’ve engaged in physical activity most of life and CrossFit had called my attention multiple times but I was intimidated due to its explosiveness & weight training. I shared this with Sidon and I asked to start with almost no weight and build-up progressively. Coaches helped me get the foundations right and focused on the technique first (either in English, Portuguese, or Spanish). As I gained more strength and resistance, weight increases were the natural next step. The atmosphere and community of SQUAD are unmatched: more experienced people keep up advancing while newer ones join and start from scratch -either way people are there to motivate and help one another. Sidon’s vision for community, excellence, resilience, and care transpires thru every corner of this place. On top, the gym is beautiful, ultra clean, and every workout is pumped with the best music. Hats off to Coach João who helped me gain confidence and also pushed me every time I plateaued. Conclusion: if you are aiming to start or advance your CrossFit journey or simply get in shape while being part of an amazing community, SQUAD *is* the place to be. I am always looking forward to my next training 💪🏻 Thank you SQUAD

For anyone looking to train in Porto, this gym is a great choice. The trainers are professional, friendly, and always supportive. They explain everything clearly in English, which is perfect if you’re not fluent in Portuguese. The gym is very clean, well organized, and equipped with modern technology. You’ll feel comfortable and motivated here.

Top notch equipment with great instructors. Signed up online, did a class, did open gym, and fell in love. One of the best gyms I’ve been too. Had ac and smelled very clean during my workouts. The owner competes in hyrox and provided great tips on the workouts.

I absolutely LOVE this place. I train one on one with Sidon who is the owner and an awesome person. I really enjoy training with him. He's super knowledgeable, knows his stuff, friendly and fun to work with. Couldn't ask for more! The gym is less than a year old, sparkly clean, and filled with lovely people and equipment. A mix of locals and expats, they all speak English and it's a very comfortable place to workout. Highly recommend.
