About
ASD Popolare is a community fitness and sports center located in Rome's eclectic San Lorenzo neighborhood, just east of the university district. With a 4.5-star rating from 75 reviews, this is clearly a place where locals trust the coaching and the atmosphere — a meaningful endorsement for any family looking to enroll a child in regular athletic training.
The club serves kids roughly ages 7 through teens across a range of fitness and sports disciplines. The San Lorenzo location is well-connected by transit and sits in one of Rome's most authentically Roman neighborhoods, away from the tourist core but full of character and great post-workout food options.
Hours run 11 AM to 11 PM Monday through Friday, with a shorter Saturday window of 3 to 8 PM. The club is closed Sundays. For families staying in Rome for an extended period or locals wanting structured sport for their kids, ASD Popolare delivers solid community-focused training without the price premium of more commercial fitness chains.
