We have been members of the União and the Juvenil clubs. The Juvenil is a smaller, yet fancy club, located in the Moinhos neighbourhood.
To use a club facilities you must become a member. Usually, the membership is for life, by buying a sort of club share and paying a monthly fee. There are lots of clubs in a wide price range. It's important to know, that as a foreigner, you don't need to buy the club share (which is very expensive). There's an option to pay a flat entrance fee and then a monthly fee that you stop paying whenever you decide to stop your membership. We usually renew our membership for the summer months only.

i had no idea that as a foreigner you could get a different rate. do you have any idea the entrance and monthly rates are for these clubs?
Hi Victoria,
I don't remember exactly how much it was. To give you an idea - it was around 350R$ a month for the 4 of us plus a registration fee. That was 2 years ago in Juvenil.
The best way is to go to the club (not to ask over the phone) and explain that you're foreigners and you'll be staying in POA for a short period of time. Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback guys :) . by the way, this is a great blog. parabens!
it's getting a little late int eh summer now, so i guess i'll have to hold off until next summer to join a club.
