Did you know?
- The term gimnasio comes from the Ancient Greek 'gumnásion', which originally referred to a place for training naked.
- While hora del gimnasio is a literal translation, many Spanish speakers simply say voy al gym using the English abbreviation 'gym' as a loanword.
- In some Spanish dialects, referring to your workout as la rutina is more common than mentioning the hora, as the focus is on the sequence of exercises rather than the clock.
